Dear Mr. Krich:
In a telephone conversation on August 9, 2010, between Mr. David Malinowski, Operations
Training Manager and Mr. Ronald F. Aiello, Senior Operations Engineer, arrangements were
made for the administration of licensing examinations at the Browns Ferry Nuclear Station. The
operating test is scheduled to be administered during the weeks of February 7 and 14, 2011.
The written examination is scheduled to be administered on February 17, 2011. The on-site
preparatory week is scheduled for the week of Jan 17, 2011.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare both the operating test and
written examination based on the guidelines in Revision 9, Supplement 1, 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 2, 2010. Mr. Aiello provided a written examination outline to your staff in
May 2010. The written examination, operating test, and the supporting reference materials
identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by November 16, 2010. 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.

OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATION - 05000259/2011301, 05000260/2011301

AND 05000296/2011301

Dear Mr. Krich:

In a telephone conversation on August 9, 2010, between Mr. David Malinowski, Operations

Training Manager and Mr. Ronald F. Aiello, Senior Operations Engineer, arrangements were

made for the administration of licensing examinations at the Browns Ferry Nuclear Station. The

operating test is scheduled to be administered during the weeks of February 7 and 14, 2011.

The written examination is scheduled to be administered on February 17, 2011. The on-site

preparatory week is scheduled for the week of Jan 17, 2011.

As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare both the operating test and

written examination based on the guidelines in Revision 9, Supplement 1, 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 2, 2010. Mr. Aiello provided a written examination outline to your staff in

May 2010. The written examination, operating test, and the supporting reference materials

identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by November 16, 2010. 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.

TVA 2

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, medical certifications, and waiver

requests (if any) 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 the Office of

Management and Budget. The public reporting burden for this collection of information is

estimated to average 500 hours0.00579 days <br />0.139 hours <br />8.267196e-4 weeks <br />1.9025e-4 months <br /> per response for examinations prepared by the facility,

including the time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining the data needed, 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,
