SUBJECT: WATTS BAR NUCLEAR PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF LICENSED OPERATOR | |||
INITIAL EXAMINATION 05000390/2013301 | |||
Dear Mr. Shea: | |||
In a telephone conversation on October 3, 2012, between Mr. Brian Kaye, Operations Training | |||
Supervisor and Mr. Mark Bates, Senior Operations Examiner, arrangements were made for the | |||
administration of licensing examinations at Watts Bar Nuclear Plant. The operating test is | |||
scheduled to be administered during the weeks of March 18 and 25, 2013. The written | |||
examination is scheduled to be administered during the week of April 1, 2013. The on-site | |||
preparatory week is scheduled for the week of February 25, 2013. | |||
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the operating test outlines, | |||
operating tests, and the written examination based on the guidelines in Revision 9, Supplement | |||
1, of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors." The U.S. | |||
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regional office will discuss with your staff any changes | |||
that might be necessary before the examinations are administered. Your staff has also agreed | |||
to make copies of all examination materials that are necessary for administering the | |||
examination. | |||
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the operating test | |||
outlines by January 2, 2013. The NRC provided the written examination outline to your staff in | |||
September 2011. The written examination and the supporting reference materials identified in | |||
Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by January 11, 2013. The operating tests will be due by | |||
January 28, 2013. 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 examination and reference materials, or the submittal of inadequate or | |||
incomplete materials, may cause the examinations to be rescheduled. | |||
J. Shea 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 the 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 of 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 reactor | |||
operator and senior reactor operator license applications, medical certifications, and waiver | |||
requests (if any) 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 the Office of | |||
Management and Budget (OMB) under approval number 3150-0018, which expires on February | |||
28, 2013. The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average | |||
500 hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining | |||
the data needed, writing the examinations, and completing and reviewing the collection of | |||
information. Send comments on any aspect of this collection of information, including | |||
suggestions for reducing the burden, to the Information and Records Management Branch (T-6 | |||
F33), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, or by Internet | |||
electronic mail at infocollectsresource@nrc.gov; and to the Desk Officer, Office of Information | |||
and Regulatory Affairs, NEOB-10202, (3150-0018), Office of Management and Budget, | |||
Washington, DC 20503. | |||
The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection | |||
of information 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 and its | |||
enclosures will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document | |||
Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRCs document | |||
system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading- | |||
rm.adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room). | |||
J. Shea 3 | |||
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Mr. Brian Kaye, has been advised of the policies | |||
and guidelines referenced in this letter. If you have any questions regarding the NRC's | |||
examination procedures and guidelines, please contact Mr. Ken Schaaf at (404) 997-4568, | |||

Dear Mr. Shea:
In a telephone conversation on October 3, 2012, between Mr. Brian Kaye, Operations Training
Supervisor and Mr. Mark Bates, Senior Operations Examiner, arrangements were made for the
administration of licensing examinations at Watts Bar Nuclear Plant. The operating test is
scheduled to be administered during the weeks of March 18 and 25, 2013. The written
examination is scheduled to be administered during the week of April 1, 2013. The on-site
preparatory week is scheduled for the week of February 25, 2013.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the operating test outlines,
operating tests, and the written examination based on the guidelines in Revision 9, Supplement

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regional office will discuss with your staff any changes
that might be necessary before the examinations are administered. Your staff has also agreed
to make copies of all examination materials that are necessary for administering the
examination.
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the operating test
outlines by January 2, 2013. The NRC provided the written examination outline to your staff in
September 2011. The written examination and the supporting reference materials identified in
Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by January 11, 2013. The operating tests will be due by
January 28, 2013. 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

All materials shall be complete and ready-to-use.
We request that any personal, proprietary, sensitive unclassified, or safeguards information in

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 the 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 of 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 reactor
operator and senior reactor operator license applications, medical certifications, and waiver
requests (if any) 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.
