SUBJECT: COOPER NUCLEAR STATION - NOTIFICATION OF NRC INITIAL OPERATOR | |||
LICENSING EXAMINATION 05000298/2015303 | |||
Dear Mr. Limpias: | |||
In a telephone conversation on May 21, 2015, between Messrs. E. Jackson, Senior Training | |||
Instructor, and S. Garchow, Chief Examiner, arrangements were made for the administration of | |||
licensing examinations at Cooper Nuclear Station during the week of November 30, 2015. | |||
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on | |||
the guidelines in NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power | |||
Reactors, Revision 10, and NUREG-1123, Knowledge and Abilities Catalog for Nuclear Power | |||
Plant Operators, Revision 2, Supplement 1. The NRCs regional office will discuss with your | |||
staff any changes that might be necessary before the examinations are administered. | |||
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the examination | |||
outlines by September 11, 2015. The written examinations, operating tests, and supporting | |||
reference materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by October 9, 2015. | |||
Pursuant to Title 10, Section 55.40(b)(3), of the Code of Federal Regulations | |||
(10 CFR 55.40(b)(3)), an authorized representative of the facility licensee shall approve the | |||
outlines, examinations, and tests before they are submitted to the NRC for review and approval. | |||
All materials shall be complete and ready-to-use. We request that any personal, proprietary, | |||
sensitive unclassified, or safeguards information in your response be contained in a separate | |||
enclosure and appropriately marked. Any delay in receiving the required examinations and | |||
reference materials, or the submittal of inadequate or incomplete materials, may cause the | |||
examinations to be rescheduled. In addition, your support for on-site validation of the | |||
examinations is required during the week of October 26, 2015. | |||
O. Limpias -2- | |||
In order to conduct the requested written examinations and operating tests, it will be necessary | |||
for your staff to provide adequate space and accommodations in accordance with ES-402 and | |||
to make the simulation facility available on the dates noted above. In accordance with ES-302, | |||
your staff should retain all original simulator performance data (e.g., system pressures, | |||
temperatures, and levels) generated during the dynamic operating tests until the examination | |||
results are final. | |||
Appendix E to NUREG-1021 contains a number of NRC policies and guidelines that will be in | |||
effect while the written examinations and operating tests are being administered. | |||
To permit timely NRC review and evaluation, your staff should submit preliminary operator and | |||
senior operator license applications (Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval | |||
number 3150-0090), medical certifications (OMB approval number 3150-0024), and waiver | |||
requests (if any) (OMB approval number 3150-0090) at least 30 days before the first | |||
examination date. If the applications are not received at least 30 days before the examination | |||
date, a postponement may be necessary. Signed applications certifying that all training has | |||
been completed should be submitted at least 14 days before the first examination date. | |||
This letter contains information collections that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of | |||
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). These information collections were approved by OMB, under | |||
approval number 3150-0018, which expires on April 30, 2016. The public reporting burden for | |||
this collection of information is estimated to average 50 hours per response, including the time | |||
for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and | |||
reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any | |||
other aspect of these information collections, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to | |||
the Records and FOIA/Privacy Services Branch (T-5 F52), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory | |||
Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, or by internet electronic mail to | |||
INFOCOLLECTS@NRC.GOV. | |||
The NRC may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, an | |||
information collection, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. | |||
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter will be | |||
available electronically for public inspection in the NRCs Public Document Room or from the | |||
Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRCs Agencywide Documents Access | |||
and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the electronic Reading Room | |||
page of the NRCs public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. | |||

guidelines referenced in this letter. If you have any questions regarding the NRCs examination | |||
procedures and guidelines, please contact Mr. Garchow at 817-200-1426, or myself at | |||

Dear Mr. Limpias:
In a telephone conversation on May 21, 2015, between Messrs. E. Jackson, Senior Training
Instructor, and S. Garchow, Chief Examiner, arrangements were made for the administration of
licensing examinations at Cooper Nuclear Station during the week of November 30, 2015.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on
the guidelines in NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power

To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the examination
outlines by September 11, 2015. The written examinations, operating tests, and supporting
reference materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by October 9, 2015.
Pursuant to Title 10, Section 55.40(b)(3), of the Code of Federal Regulations
(10 CFR 55.40(b)(3)), an authorized representative of the facility licensee shall approve the
outlines, examinations, and tests before they are submitted to the NRC for review and approval.
All materials shall be complete and ready-to-use. We request that any personal, proprietary,

In order to conduct the requested written examinations and operating tests, it will be necessary
for your staff to provide adequate space and accommodations in accordance with ES-402 and
to make the simulation facility available on the dates noted above. In accordance with ES-302,
your staff should retain all original simulator performance data (e.g., system pressures,

results are final.
Appendix E to NUREG-1021 contains a number of NRC policies and guidelines that will be in
effect while the written examinations and operating tests are being administered.
To permit timely NRC review and evaluation, your staff should submit preliminary operator and

requests (if any) (OMB approval number 3150-0090) at least 30 days before the first
examination date. If the applications are not received at least 30 days before the examination
date, a postponement may be necessary. Signed applications certifying that all training has
been completed should be submitted at least 14 days before the first examination date.
This letter contains information collections that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). These information collections were approved by OMB, under
approval number 3150-0018, which expires on April 30, 2016. The public reporting burden for
this collection of information is estimated to average 50 hours5.787037e-4 days <br />0.0139 hours <br />8.267196e-5 weeks <br />1.9025e-5 months <br /> per response, including the time
