November 5, 201 8 Ken J. Peters, Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer Attention: Regulatory Affairs Vistra Operations Company LLC P.O. Box 1002 Glen Rose, TX 76043 SUBJECT: COMANCHE PEAK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
- NOTIFICATION OF NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION 05000445/201 9 301 AND 05000446/201 9 301
Dear Mr. Peters:
In a telephone conversation on October 24, 201 8, between Messrs. J. Ruby , Examination and Simulator Supervisor, and B. Lars on, Chief Examiner, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant during the week of June 10, 201 9. As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on the guidelines in Revision 11 to NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors
." The NRC's 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 operating test outlines by January 7, 2019. The written examination outlines were provided to your staff on September 18, 2018.
The written examinations, operating tests, and supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by March 25, 2019. Pursuant to Title 10, Section 55.40(b)(3), of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), an authorized representative of the facility licensee shall approve the 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. Delays in receiving the required materials, or the submittal of inadequate or incomplete materials, may cause the examinations to be cancelled or rescheduled. In addition, your support for onsite validation of the examinations is required during the week of May 6, 2019.
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, along with any video and audio recordings of the dynamic operating tests
, until the NRC takes licensing action on all the applications and any adjudicatory actions on any hearing demands are complete.
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 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 (if able). Mr. Larson should be contacted to determine the method for submission of the waiver and/or excusal requests.
Preliminary reactor operator and senior reactor operator license applications (OMB approval 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 minimum guidelines for receiving waiver or excusal requests is 30 days before the first examination date (preliminary) and 14 days before the first examination date (final), the requests should be submitted as early in the process as possible (see the 60-day guideline above). Resolutions resulting from verbal inquiries by the licensee to the NRC are not binding. Submittals addressing waivers and/or excusals should be in writing (i.e., on NRC Form 398, or as directed by Mr. Lars on when contacted to determine the method for submission). The NRC's final decision on whether to grant a waiver or excusal will be documented on the final (not preliminary) NRC Form 398 submitted for the applicant and will not be provided until the final application is submitted to the NRC.

These information collections were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, approval number 3150-0018. The burden to the public for these mandatory information collections is estimated to average 400 hours0.00463 days <br />0.111 hours <br />6.613757e-4 weeks <br />1.522e-4 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 collection.
