| | Dear Mr. Capps: |
| | In a telephone conversation on November 25, 2014, between Mr. Steven Mosteller, MNS Exam |
| | Team Lead, and Mr. Daniel Bacon, Senior Operations Engineer, arrangements were made for |
| | the administration of licensing examinations at William B. McGuire Nuclear Station. The |
| | operating test is scheduled to be administered during the weeks of April 27 and May 4, 2015. |
| | The written examination is scheduled to be administered the week of May 11, 2015. The on-site |
| | preparatory week is scheduled for the week of March 30, 2015. |
| | 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 any changes with your staff 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 February 11, 2015. Mr. Daniel Bacon provided the written examination outline to your |
| | staff in September, 2014. The operating test, written examination, and the supporting reference |
| | materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by March 13, 2015. 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, |

| | Appendix E of NUREG-1021 contains a number of NRC policies and guidelines that will be in |

| | To permit timely NRC review and evaluation, your staff should submit preliminary reactor |

SUBJECT: WILLIAM B. MCGUIRE NUCLEAR STATION - NOTIFICATION OF LICENSED
OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATION 05000369/2015301 AND 05000370/2015301
Dear Mr. Capps:
In a telephone conversation on November 25, 2014, between Mr. Steven Mosteller, MNS Exam
Team Lead, and Mr. Daniel Bacon, Senior Operations Engineer, arrangements were made for
the administration of licensing examinations at William B. McGuire Nuclear Station. The
operating test is scheduled to be administered during the weeks of April 27 and May 4, 2015.
The written examination is scheduled to be administered the week of May 11, 2015. The on-site
preparatory week is scheduled for the week of March 30, 2015.
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 any changes with your staff 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 February 11, 2015. Mr. Daniel Bacon provided the written examination outline to your
staff in September, 2014. The operating test, written examination, and the supporting reference
materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by March 13, 2015. 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,
S. Capps 2
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, 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 (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 500 hours0.00579 days <br />0.139 hours <br />8.267196e-4 weeks <br />1.9025e-4 months <br /> 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, Washington, DC 20555-0001, or by
Internet electronic mail at infocollectsresource@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 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 will
be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room, or from
the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRCs Agencywide Documents
Access and Management System (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site
at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Mr. Steven Mosteller has been advised of the
policies and guidelines referenced in this letter. If you have any questions regarding the NRCs
examination procedures and guidelines, please contact Mr. Daniel Bacon at 404-997-4518,
(Internet E-mail: daniel.bacon@nrc.gov), or me at 404-997-4662, (Internet E-mail:
