Hartsville, SC 29550 SUBJECT: H. B. ROBINSON STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF LICENSED

OPERATOR RE-TAKE INITIAL EXAMINATION 05000261/2016302 Dear R. Glover: In a meeting on May 24, 2016, between Mr. Christopher McComber, Training Instructor and

Mr. Joseph Rackley, Training Supervisor, and Mr. Richard S. Baldwin, Senior Operations

Engineer, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant. The simulator portion of an operating test is scheduled to be administered during the week of July 25, 2016. The on-site preparatory week is scheduled for the week of July 25, 2016.

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

the guidelines in Revision 10, of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for

Power Reactors." The NRC's 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 2, 2016. The operating tests and supporting reference materials identified in

Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by July 7, 2016. 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 examinations, and tests before they are submitted to the

Commission 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.

To conduct the requested 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.
