| | Mr. Robert Franssen, Site Vice President |
| | Entergy Operations, Inc. |
| | Grand Gulf Nuclear Station |
| | P.O. Box 756 |
| | Port Gibson, MS 39150 |
| | SUBJECT: GRAND GULF NUCLEAR STATION - NOTIFICATION OF NRC INITIAL |
| | OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION 05000416/2022301 |
| | Dear Mr. Franssen: |
| | In a telephone conversation on December 6, 2021 between Mr. S. Reeves, Lead Examination |
| | Developer, and Mr. C. Osterholtz, chief examiner, arrangements were made for the |
| | administration of operator licensing examinations at Grand Gulf Nuclear Station during the week |
| | of October 10, 2022. |
| | As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on |
| | the guidelines in Revision 12 to NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for |
| | Power Reactors. 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 operating test |
| | outlines and any updates to the written outlines by May 6, 2022. The written examination |
| | outline was provided to your staff on December 6, 2021. The written examinations, operating |
| | tests, and supporting reference materials identified in NUREG-1021, Examination Standard |
| | (ES)-2.1, Preparing for Operator Licensing Initial Examinations, will be due by July 22, 2022. |
| | Pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 55.40(b)(3), 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 on-site |
| | validation of the examinations is required during the week of September 12, 2022. |
| | To conduct the requested written examinations and operating tests, your staff will need to |
| | provide adequate space and accommodations and to make the simulation facility available on |
| | the dates noted above. In accordance with ES 3.5, Administering Operating Tests, your staff |
| | should retain the original simulator performance data (e.g., system pressures, temperatures, |
| | and levels) generated during the dynamic operating tests until the NRC takes licensing action |
| | on all the applications and any adjudicatory actions on any hearing demands are complete. |
| | |
| | ES-1.2, Guidelines for Taking NRC Examinations, contains a number of NRC guidelines for |
| | the written examinations and operating tests as they 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) control number 3150 0090) at least 60 days before the first examination date |
| | (if possible). Contact Mr. Osterholtz to determine the method for submission of the waiver or |
| | excusal requests. Preliminary reactor operator and senior reactor operator license applications |
| | (OMB control number 3150 0090) and medical certifications (OMB control number 3150 0024) |
| | should be submitted at least 30 days before the first examination date. If the NRC does not |
| | receive the preliminary applications 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 guidelines for waiver or excusal requests call for their receipt at least 30 days |
| | before the first examination date (preliminary) and 14 days before the first examination date |
| | (final), the requests should be submitted as early as possible in the process (see the 60-day |
| | guideline above). Resolutions resulting from verbal inquiries by the facility licensee to the NRC |
| | are not binding. Submittals addressing waivers or excusals, or both, should be in writing |
| | (i.e., using NRC Form 398 or as directed when Mr. Osterholtz contacted to determine the |
| | method for submission). The NRC will document its final decision on whether to grant a waiver |
| | or excusal on the final (not preliminary) NRC Form 398 submitted for the applicant. The NRC |
| | will not provide its decision until the final application is submitted to the agency. |
| | Paperwork Reduction Act Statement |
| | This letter contains information collection requirements that are subject to the Paperwork |
| | Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). These information collections were approved |
| | by the OMB, approval number 3150-0018. |
| | The burden to the public for these mandatory information collections is estimated to average |
| | 400 hours per examination, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data |
| | sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the |
| | information collections. Send comments regarding this information collection to the FOIA, |
| | Library, and Information Collections Branch (T6-A10M), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, |
| | Washington, DC 20555 0001, or by e-mail to Infocollects.Resource@nrc.gov, and to the OMB |
| | reviewer at: OMB Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (3150-0018), Attn: Desk Officer |
| | for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 725 17th Street, NW Washington, DC 20503; e-mail: |
| | oirasubmission@omb.eop.gov. |
| | Public Protection Notification |
| | The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection |
| | of information unless the document requesting or requiring the collection displays a currently |
| | valid OMB control number. |
| | In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, Public inspections, exemptions, requests for withholding, a |
| | copy of this letter and its enclosures will be available electronically for public inspection through the |

Mr. Robert Franssen, Site Vice President
Entergy Operations, Inc.
Grand Gulf Nuclear Station
P.O. Box 756
Port Gibson, MS 39150
SUBJECT: GRAND GULF NUCLEAR STATION - NOTIFICATION OF NRC INITIAL
OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION 05000416/2022301
Dear Mr. Franssen:
In a telephone conversation on December 6, 2021 between Mr. S. Reeves, Lead Examination
Developer, and Mr. C. Osterholtz, chief examiner, arrangements were made for the
administration of operator licensing examinations at Grand Gulf Nuclear Station during the week
of October 10, 2022.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on
the guidelines in Revision 12 to NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for
Power Reactors. 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 operating test
outlines and any updates to the written outlines by May 6, 2022. The written examination
outline was provided to your staff on December 6, 2021. The written examinations, operating
tests, and supporting reference materials identified in NUREG-1021, Examination Standard
(ES)-2.1, Preparing for Operator Licensing Initial Examinations, will be due by July 22, 2022.
Pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 55.40(b)(3), 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 on-site
validation of the examinations is required during the week of September 12, 2022.
To conduct the requested written examinations and operating tests, your staff will need to
provide adequate space and accommodations and to make the simulation facility available on
the dates noted above. In accordance with ES 3.5, Administering Operating Tests, your staff
should retain the original simulator performance data (e.g., system pressures, temperatures,
and levels) generated during the dynamic operating tests until the NRC takes licensing action
on all the applications and any adjudicatory actions on any hearing demands are complete.
ES-1.2, Guidelines for Taking NRC Examinations, contains a number of NRC guidelines for
the written examinations and operating tests as they 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) control number 3150 0090) at least 60 days before the first examination date
(if possible). Contact Mr. Osterholtz to determine the method for submission of the waiver or
excusal requests. Preliminary reactor operator and senior reactor operator license applications
(OMB control number 3150 0090) and medical certifications (OMB control number 3150 0024)
should be submitted at least 30 days before the first examination date. If the NRC does not
receive the preliminary applications 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 guidelines for waiver or excusal requests call for their receipt at least 30 days
before the first examination date (preliminary) and 14 days before the first examination date
(final), the requests should be submitted as early as possible in the process (see the 60-day
guideline above). Resolutions resulting from verbal inquiries by the facility licensee to the NRC
are not binding. Submittals addressing waivers or excusals, or both, should be in writing
(i.e., using NRC Form 398 or as directed when Mr. Osterholtz contacted to determine the
method for submission). The NRC will document its final decision on whether to grant a waiver
or excusal on the final (not preliminary) NRC Form 398 submitted for the applicant. The NRC
will not provide its decision until the final application is submitted to the agency.
