Dear Mr. Batson: | |||
In a telephone conversation on January 12, 2016, between Mr. Christopher Rop, Operations | |||
Training Manager, Mr. Sam S. Lark, Examination Author, Mr. Kenneth Schaaf, Exam Writer and | |||
Mr. Richard S. Baldwin, Senior Operations Engineer, arrangements were made for the | |||
administration of licensing examinations at the Oconee Nuclear Station. The operating test is | |||
scheduled to be administered during the week of June 13, 2016. The written examination is | |||
scheduled to be administered the week of June 20, 2016. The on-site preparatory week is | |||
scheduled for the week of May 16, 2016. | |||
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. | |||
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the operating test | |||
outlines by March 15, 2016. Mr. Micahel Meeks provided written examination outlines to your | |||
staff in December 2015. The written examinations, operating test and the supporting reference | |||
materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by .April 14, 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 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. | |||
S. Batson 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 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, | |||

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, | |||
