SUBJECT:

REACTOR OPERATOR AND SENIOR REACTOR OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATIONS In a telephone conversation between Mr. Charles Toth of the Training Department and Mr. S. L. McCrory, Chief Examiner for Waterford 3, arrangements were made for administration of examinations at the Waterford 3 (W-3) facility. The written examinations are scheduled for August 19, 1986. The plant operating examinations are scheduled for August 19-21, 1986.

Tne facility management is responsible for providing adequate space and facilities in order to properly conduct the written examinations.  !

Attachment 2, " Administration of Reactor / Senior Reactor Operator Licensing Written Examinations," describes our requirements for conducting these examinations. W-3 training personnel have been informed of these requirements.

A full set of applicable W-3 operating procedures and instructions is maintained and updated by NRC Region IV for use in developing license examinations. Additional information requirements will be handled on an individual basis and will not impact the examination schedule. Attachment 1, is a copy of the material Region IV maintains.

All reactor and senior reactor operator license applications normally should be submitted at least 60 days before the first examination dates so that we will be able to review training and experience of the candidates, process medical certifications, and prepare final examiner assignments after candidate ,

eligibility has been determined. If applications are not received at least 30 '

days before the examination dates, it is likelv that a postponement will be necessary.

1 Request for information was approved by the Office of Management and Budget l under Clearance Number 3151-0101, which expires May 31, 1989. Comments on l burden and duplication may be directed to the Office of Management and Budget, l' Reports Management Room 320B, New Executive Office Building, Washington, D. C. 20503.
