| | 11028 Hatch Parkway North |
| | Baxley, GA 31513 |
| | SUBJECT: EDWIN I. HATCH NUCLEAR PLANT- NOTIFICATION OF LICENSED OPERATOR |
| | INITIAL EXAMINATION 05000321/2023301, and 05000366/2023301 |
| | Dear Mr. Weissinger: |
| | In a telephone conversation on May 1, 2023, between Mr. Derek Williams, Lead Examination |
| | Author, and, and Mr. David Lanyi, Senior Operations Engineer, arrangements were made for the |
| | administration of operator licensing examinations at the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant. The on-site |
| | preparatory week is scheduled for the week of October 16, 2023. The operating test is scheduled |
| | to be administered during the week of November 27, 2023. The written examination is scheduled to |
| | be administered the week of December 4, 2023. |
| | As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare both the operating test and |
| | written examination based on the guidelines in Revision 12 of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing |
| | Examination Standards for Power Reactors." 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 operating test outline |
| | by June 30, 2023. Mr. Lanyi provided the written examination outline to your staff in November |
| | 2022. The written examinations, operating tests, and supporting reference materials identified in |
| | NUREG-1021, Examination Standard (ES)-2.1, Preparing for Operator Licensing Initial |
| | Examinations, will be due by September 13, 2023. Pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal |
| | Regulations (10 CFR) 55.40(b)(3), an authorized representative of the facility licensee shall approve |
| | the 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. Delays in receiving the |
| | required examination and reference materials, or the submittal of inadequate or incomplete |
| | materials, may cause the examinations to be cancelled or rescheduled. |
| | 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-4.3, Administering |
| | Written Examinations, and to make the simulation facility available on the dates noted above. In |
| | accordance with ES-3.5, Administering Operating Tests, your staff should retain the original |
| | simulator performance data (e.g., system pressures, temperatures, and levels) generated during |
| | |
| | H. Weissinger 2 |
| | the dynamic operating tests until the NRC takes licensing action on all the applications and any |
| | adjudicatory actions on any hearing demands are complete. |
| | ES-1.2, Guidelines for Taking NRC Examinations, contains a number of NRC guidelines for |
| | the written examinations and operating tests as they are being administered. Your staff has also |
| | agreed to make copies of all examination materials that are necessary for administering the |
| | examination. |
| | To permit timely NRC review and evaluation, your staff should submit preliminary reactor operator |
| | and senior reactor operator waiver and/or excusal requests (if any) (Office of Management and |
| | Budget (OMB) control number 3150-0090) at least 60 days before the first examination date (if |
| | possible). Contact Mr. Lanyi to determine the method for submission of the waiver or excusal |
| | requests. Preliminary reactor operator and senior reactor operator license applications (OMB |
| | control number 3150-0090) and medical certifications (OMB control number 3150-0024) should be |
| | submitted at least 30 days before the first examination date. If the NRC does not receive the |
| | preliminary applications at least 30 days before the examination date, a postponement may be |
| | necessary. Final, signed applications certifying that all training has been completed and requesting |
| | any waivers or excusals, as applicable, should be submitted at least 14 days before the first |
| | examination date. |
| | Although the guidelines for waiver or excusal requests call for their receipt at least 30 days before |
| | the first examination date (preliminary) and 14 days before the first examination date (final), the |
| | requests should be submitted as early as possible in the process (see the 60-day guideline above). |
| | Resolutions resulting from verbal inquiries by the facility licensee to the NRC are not binding. |
| | Submittals addressing waivers or excusals, or both, should be in writing (i.e., using NRC Form 398, |
| | Personal Qualifications StatementLicensee, or as directed by Mr. Lanyi when contacting him to |
| | determine the method for submission). The NRC will document its final decision on whether to grant |
| | a waiver or excusal on the final (not preliminary) NRC Form 398 submitted for the applicant. The |
| | NRC will not provide its decision until the final application is submitted to the agency. |
| | Paperwork Reduction Act Statement |
| | This letter contains information collection requirements that are subject to the Paperwork |
| | Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). These information collections were approved |
| | by the OMB, approval number 3150-0018. |
| | The burden to the public for these voluntary information collections is estimated |
| | to average 2,250 hours per examination or response, including the time for reviewing instructions, |
| | searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and |
| | reviewing the information collections. Send comments regarding this information collection to the |
| | FOIA, Library, and Information Collections Branch (T6-A10M), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory |

| | Officer for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 725 17th Street, NW Washington, DC 20503; e- |
| | mail: oira_submission@omb.eop.gov. |
| | Public Protection Notification |
| | The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of |
| | information, unless the document requesting or requiring the collection displays a currently valid |
| | OMB control number. |

Mr. J. H. Weissinger
Site Vice President
Southern Nuclear Operating Co., Inc.
Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant
11028 Hatch Parkway North
Baxley, GA 31513
SUBJECT: EDWIN I. HATCH NUCLEAR PLANT- NOTIFICATION OF LICENSED OPERATOR
INITIAL EXAMINATION 05000321/2023301, and 05000366/2023301
Dear Mr. Weissinger:
In a telephone conversation on May 1, 2023, between Mr. Derek Williams, Lead Examination
Author, and, and Mr. David Lanyi, Senior Operations Engineer, arrangements were made for the
administration of operator licensing examinations at the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant. The on-site
preparatory week is scheduled for the week of October 16, 2023. The operating test is scheduled
to be administered during the week of November 27, 2023. The written examination is scheduled to
be administered the week of December 4, 2023.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare both the operating test and
written examination based on the guidelines in Revision 12 of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing
Examination Standards for Power Reactors." 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 operating test outline
by June 30, 2023. Mr. Lanyi provided the written examination outline to your staff in November
2022. The written examinations, operating tests, and supporting reference materials identified in
NUREG-1021, Examination Standard (ES)-2.1, Preparing for Operator Licensing Initial
Examinations, will be due by September 13, 2023. Pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR) 55.40(b)(3), an authorized representative of the facility licensee shall approve
the 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. Delays in receiving the
required examination and reference materials, or the submittal of inadequate or incomplete
materials, may cause the examinations to be cancelled or rescheduled.
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-4.3, Administering
Written Examinations, and to make the simulation facility available on the dates noted above. In
accordance with ES-3.5, Administering Operating Tests, your staff should retain the original
simulator performance data (e.g., system pressures, temperatures, and levels) generated during
H. Weissinger 2
the dynamic operating tests until the NRC takes licensing action on all the applications and any
adjudicatory actions on any hearing demands are complete.
ES-1.2, Guidelines for Taking NRC Examinations, contains a number of NRC guidelines for
the written examinations and operating tests as they are being administered. Your staff has also
agreed to make copies of all examination materials that are necessary for administering the
examination.
To permit timely NRC review and evaluation, your staff should submit preliminary reactor operator
and senior reactor operator waiver and/or excusal requests (if any) (Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) control number 3150-0090) at least 60 days before the first examination date (if
possible). Contact Mr. Lanyi to determine the method for submission of the waiver or excusal
requests. Preliminary reactor operator and senior reactor operator license applications (OMB
control number 3150-0090) and medical certifications (OMB control number 3150-0024) should be
submitted at least 30 days before the first examination date. If the NRC does not receive the
preliminary applications at least 30 days before the examination date, a postponement may be
necessary. Final, signed applications certifying that all training has been completed and requesting
any waivers or excusals, as applicable, should be submitted at least 14 days before the first
examination date.
Although the guidelines for waiver or excusal requests call for their receipt at least 30 days before
the first examination date (preliminary) and 14 days before the first examination date (final), the
requests should be submitted as early as possible in the process (see the 60-day guideline above).
Resolutions resulting from verbal inquiries by the facility licensee to the NRC are not binding.
Submittals addressing waivers or excusals, or both, should be in writing (i.e., using NRC Form 398,
Personal Qualifications StatementLicensee, or as directed by Mr. Lanyi when contacting him to
determine the method for submission). The NRC will document its final decision on whether to grant
a waiver or excusal on the final (not preliminary) NRC Form 398 submitted for the applicant. The
NRC will not provide its decision until the final application is submitted to the agency.
