Dear Mr. Edington: | |||
In a telephone conversation on April 20, 2011 between Messrs. Warren Potter and Gabriel | |||
Apger, Chief Examiner, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing | |||
examinations at Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1, 2 and 3 during the week of | |||
March 19, 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-1122, Knowledge and Abilities Catalog for | |||
Nuclear Power Plant Operators, Revision 2, Supplement 1. The NRCs 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 January 6, 2012. The written examinations, operating tests, and supporting | |||
reference materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by January 20, 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 February 13, 2012. | |||
Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station 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 NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its | |||
enclosures will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRCs Public Document | |||
Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRCs Agencywide | |||

Dear Mr. Edington:
In a telephone conversation on April 20, 2011 between Messrs. Warren Potter and Gabriel
Apger, Chief Examiner, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing
examinations at Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1, 2 and 3 during the week of
