| On November 16, 2010, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an examination at Nine Mile Point, Unit 1. The enclosed report documents the examination findings, which were discussed on December 15, 2010, with Mr. R. Brown of your staff. The examination included the evaluation of six applicants for reactor operator licenses, four applicants for instant senior reactor operator licenses, and one applicant for an upgrade senior reactor operator license. The written and operating examinations were developed using NUREG-1021, "Operator licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," Revision 9, Supplement 1. The license examiners determined that all applicants satisfied the requirements of 10 CFR Part 55, and the appropriate licenses were issued on December 15, 2010. No findings were identified during this examination. | | On November 16, 2010, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an examination at Nine Mile Point, Unit 1.

Dear Mr. Belcher:
On November 16, 2010, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an examination at Nine Mile Point, Unit 1. The enclosed report documents the examination findings, which were discussed on December 15, 2010, with Mr. R. Brown of your staff.
The examination included the evaluation of six applicants for reactor operator licenses, four applicants for instant senior reactor operator licenses, and one applicant for an upgrade senior reactor operator license. The written and operating examinations were developed using NUREG-1021, "Operator licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," Revision 9, Supplement 1. The license examiners determined that all applicants satisfied the requirements of 10 CFR Part 55, and the appropriate licenses were issued on December 15, 2010.
No findings were identified during this examination.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS).

a. Scope
The chief examiner reviewed all 11 license applications submitted by the licensee to ensure the applications reflected that each applicant satisfied relevant eligibility requirements. The applications were submitted on NRC Form 398, "Personal Qualification Statement,' and NRC Form 396, "Certification of Medical Examination by Facility Licensee." The chief examiner also audited two license applications in detail to confirm that they accurately reflected the applicants' qualifications. This audit focused on the applicants' experience, on-the-job training, and eligibility to sit for the instant senior reactor operator license exams.

The NRC examination team administered the various portions of the operating examination to all applicants from November 8 - 15, 2010. The applicants for reactor operator licenses participated in two or three dynamic Simulator scenarios, in a control room and facilities walkthrough test consisting of 11 system tasks, and an administrative test consisting of four administrative tasks. The applicants for instant senior reactor operator licenses participated in two or three dynamic simulator scenarios, a control room and facilities walkthrough test consisting of ten system tasks, and an administrative test consisting of five administrative tasks. The applicant for an upgrade senior reactor operator license participated in two dynamic scenarios, a control room and facilities walkthrough test conSisting of five system tasks, and an administrative test conSisting of five administrative tasks.
b. Findings
All applicants passed all parts of the examinations. For the written examinations, the reactor operator applicants' average score was 92.2 percent, and ranged from 88.0 to 97.3 percent.
