              LICENSING EXAMINATION 05000298/2017301
Dear Mr. Limpias:
In a telephone conversation on June 30, 2016, between Messrs. J. Florence, Simulator and
Training Support Superintendent, and B. Larson, Chief Examiner, arrangements were made for
the administration of licensing examinations at Cooper Nuclear Station, during the weeks of
March 6 and 13, 2017.
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 10, 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 December 5, 2016. The written examinations, operating tests, and supporting
reference materials identified in Attachment 3 of ES-201 will be due by January 2, 2017.
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 January 30, 2017.

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 June 30, 2019. 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 and Procedure, a copy of
this letter 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
Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the

LICENSING EXAMINATION 05000298/2017301

Dear Mr. Limpias:

In a telephone conversation on June 30, 2016, between Messrs. J. Florence, Simulator and

Training Support Superintendent, and B. Larson, Chief Examiner, arrangements were made for

the administration of licensing examinations at Cooper Nuclear Station, during the weeks of

March 6 and 13, 2017.

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 10, 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 December 5, 2016. The written examinations, operating tests, and supporting

reference materials identified in Attachment 3 of ES-201 will be due by January 2, 2017.

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 January 30, 2017.

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 June 30, 2019. The public reporting burden for

this collection of information is estimated to average 50 hours5.787037e-4 days <br />0.0139 hours <br />8.267196e-5 weeks <br />1.9025e-5 months <br /> 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.
