SUBJECT: GRAND GULF NUCLEAR STATION - NOTIFICATION OF NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION 05000416/2012301 
Dear Mr. Douet:
In a telephone conversation on January 9, 2012 between Messrs. Will Ryder, Mark Pait and Chris Steely, Chief Examiner, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing
examinations at Grand Gulf Nuclear Station during the week of December 10, 2012.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on the guidelines in NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power
Reactors," Revision 9, Supplement 1, and NUREG-1123, "Knowledge and Abilities Catalog for Nuclear Power Plant Operators," Revision 2, Supplement 1.  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 examination outlines by September 7, 2012.  The written examinations, operating tests, and supporting
reference materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by October 12, 2012.  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 examinations and
reference materials, or the submittal of inadequate or incomplete materials, may cause the
examinations to be rescheduled.  In addition, your support for on-site validation of the
examinations is required during the week of October 22, 2012.
UNITED STATESNUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSIONREGION IV1600 EAST LAMAR BLVDARLINGTON, TEXAS 76011-4511
Mr. Douet - 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 to 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 operator and
senior 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 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 50 hours per response, including the
time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and
reviewing the collection of information.  Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any
other aspect of these information collections, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to
the Records and FOIA/Privacy Services Branch (T-5 F52), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, or by Internet electronic mail to
INFOCOLLECTS@NRC.GOV. 
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 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's Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRC's Agencywide
Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS).  ADAMS is accessible from the
electronic Reading Room page of the NRC's public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.   
Mr. Douet - 3 -  Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.  Mr. Ryder and Pait have 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. Steely at 817-200-1432, or myself at
817-200-1159.
      Sincerely, 
      /RA/
