SUBJECT: VOGTLE ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF LICENSED
OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATION 05000424/2015301 AND 05000425/2015301
Dear Mr. Taber:
In a telephone conversation on February 12, 2015, between Mr. John Acree, Nuclear
Operations Training Supervisor, Mr. Kenneth and Mr. Richard S. Baldwin, Senior Operations
Engineer, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant. The operating test is scheduled to be administered during the weeks of August 31, 2015 and September 14, 2015. The written examination is scheduled to
be administered the week of September 21, 2015. The on-site preparatory week is scheduled
for the week of August 3, 2015.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare both the operating test and written examinations based on the guidelines in Revision 10, 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.
Your staff furnished the operating test outlines in February 2015. Mr. Richard S. Baldwin
provided written examination outlines to your staff in November 2014. The written
examinations, operating test and the supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 3 to
ES-201 will be due by May 8, 2015. 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 test 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.
B. Taber 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 (Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approval number 3150-0090), medical certifications (OMB approval number 3150-0024), and waiver requests (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 first 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 OMB under approval number 3150-0018, which expires on April 30, 2016. The public reporting burden for
this collection of information is estimated to average 2500 hours0.0289 days <br />0.694 hours <br />0.00413 weeks <br />9.5125e-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 neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, an
information collection, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, "Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding,"
of the NRC's "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 NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and
