P.O. Box 220
St. Francisville, Louisiana 70775
SUBJECT: RIVER BEND STATION - NRC INITIAL EXAMINATION REPORT 50-458/03-301
Dear Mr. Hinnenkamp:
In a telephone conversation on August 19, 2002, between Messrs. Mike Wagner, Supervisor,
Operations Training, and Michael Murphy, Chief Examiner, arrangements were made for the
administration of licensing examinations at River Bend Station, during the week of February 10,
2003.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on
the guidelines in Revision 8, Supplement 1, of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination
Standards for Power Reactors." The NRC 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 October 13, 2002. The written examinations, operating tests, and the supporting
reference materials identified in Attachment 2 of ES-201 and as discussed with the chief
examiner, will be due by December 12, 2002. 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. A validation of the final examination material will be
conducted at your facility the week of January 20, 2003.
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 (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
 
Entergy Operations, Inc.                          -2-
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, approval number 3150-0018, which expires on April 30, 2003.
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
BJS1@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 2.790 of the NRCs "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its
enclosure(s), and your response will be made available electronically for public inspection in the
NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of
NRCs document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at
http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Mr. Wagner has been advised of the policies
and guidelines referenced in this letter. If you have any questions regarding the NRC's

SUBJECT: RIVER BEND STATION - NRC INITIAL EXAMINATION REPORT 50-458/03-301

Dear Mr. Hinnenkamp:

In a telephone conversation on August 19, 2002, between Messrs. Mike Wagner, Supervisor,

Operations Training, and Michael Murphy, Chief Examiner, arrangements were made for the

administration of licensing examinations at River Bend Station, during the week of February 10,

2003.

As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on

the guidelines in Revision 8, Supplement 1, of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination

Standards for Power Reactors." The NRC 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 October 13, 2002. The written examinations, operating tests, and the supporting

reference materials identified in Attachment 2 of ES-201 and as discussed with the chief

examiner, will be due by December 12, 2002. 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. A validation of the final examination material will be

conducted at your facility the week of January 20, 2003.

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 (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 the Office of

Management and Budget, approval number 3150-0018, which expires on April 30, 2003.

The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 500 hours0.00579 days <br />0.139 hours <br />8.267196e-4 weeks <br />1.9025e-4 months <br />

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

BJS1@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.
