SUBJECT: WILLIAM B.MCGUIRE NUCLEAR STATION- NOTIFICATION OF LICENSED | |||
OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATION 05000369/2018301 AND | |||
05000370/2018301 | |||
Dear Mr. Capps: | |||
During a telephone conversation on August 29, 2017, between Mr. Steven Mosteller, Exam | |||
Author of Record, and Mr. Jason D. Bundy, Operations Engineer, arrangements were made for | |||
the administration of licensing examinations at the William B. McGuire Nuclear Station. The | |||
on-site preparatory week is scheduled for the week of March 19, 2018. The operating test is | |||
scheduled to be administered during the weeks of April 16, 2018 and April 23, 2018. The | |||
written examination is scheduled to be administered the week of April 23, 2018 or April 30, | |||
2018. | |||
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare both the operating test and | |||
written examination based on the guidelines in Revision 11 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 | |||
outline by November 17, 2017. Mr. Mark Bates, Senior Operations Engineer, provided the | |||
written examination outline to your staff in February, 2016. The operating test, written | |||
examination, and the supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be | |||
due by January 31, 2018. 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 outline, examination, 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. Capps 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. Your staff has agreed that the simulator scenarios administered for the NRC | |||
examination will not be video-recorded or audio-recorded in any form. | |||
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 waiver or excusal requests (if any) (Office of Management | |||
and Budget (OMB) approval number 3150-0090) at least 60 days before the first examination | |||
date. Contact Mr. Bundy 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 approval number 3150-0024) | |||
should be submitted at least 30 days before the first examination date. If the preliminary | |||
applications are not received 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 receiving waiver or excusal requests call for 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 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 Statement - Licensee, or as directed by Mr. Bundy 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. | |||
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 Office of Management and Budget, 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. You may submit comments on any aspect of the information collections, | |||
including suggestions for reducing the burden, to FOIA, Privacy and Information Collections | |||
Branch (T-5 F53), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, or by | |||
electronic mail to infocollects.resource@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 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. | |||
S. Capps 3 | |||
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its | |||

SUBJECT: WILLIAM B.MCGUIRE NUCLEAR STATION- NOTIFICATION OF LICENSED
OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATION 05000369/2018301 AND
Dear Mr. Capps:
During a telephone conversation on August 29, 2017, between Mr. Steven Mosteller, Exam
Author of Record, and Mr. Jason D. Bundy, Operations Engineer, arrangements were made for
the administration of licensing examinations at the William B. McGuire Nuclear Station. The
on-site preparatory week is scheduled for the week of March 19, 2018. The operating test is
scheduled to be administered during the weeks of April 16, 2018 and April 23, 2018. The
written examination is scheduled to be administered the week of April 23, 2018 or April 30,
2018.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare both the operating test and
written examination based on the guidelines in Revision 11 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
outline by November 17, 2017. Mr. Mark Bates, Senior Operations Engineer, provided the
written examination outline to your staff in February, 2016. The operating test, written
examination, and the supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be
due by January 31, 2018. 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 outline, examination, 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.

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. Your staff has agreed that the simulator scenarios administered for the NRC
examination will not be video-recorded or audio-recorded in any form.
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 waiver or excusal requests (if any) (Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) approval number 3150-0090) at least 60 days before the first examination
date. Contact Mr. Bundy 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 approval number 3150-0024)
should be submitted at least 30 days before the first examination date. If the preliminary
applications are not received 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 receiving waiver or excusal requests call for 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 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 Statement - Licensee, or as directed by Mr. Bundy 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.
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 Office of Management and Budget, approval number 3150-0018. The burden to the
public for these voluntary information collections is estimated to average 2,250 hours0.00289 days <br />0.0694 hours <br />4.133598e-4 weeks <br />9.5125e-5 months <br /> 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. You may submit comments on any aspect of the information collections,
including suggestions for reducing the burden, to FOIA, Privacy and Information Collections
Branch (T-5 F53), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, or by
electronic mail to infocollects.resource@nrc.gov, and to the Desk Officer, Office of Information
and Regulatory Affairs, NEOB-10202, (3150-0018), Office of Management and Budget,

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.
