WILLIAM B. MCGUIRE NUCLEAR STATION - OPERATOR LICENSING WRITTEN EXAMINATION APPROVAL 05000369/2023301 AND 05000370/2023301


==Dear Mr. Pigott:==
==Dear Mr. Moser:==
During a telephone conversation on December 6, 2022, between Mr. Steven Mosteller, Exam Author of Record and Mr. Daniel Bacon, Senior Operations Engineer, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at the McGuire Nuclear Station. The on-site preparatory week is scheduled for the week of June 26, 2023. The operating test is scheduled to be administered during the week of July 31 and August 7, 2023. The written examination is scheduled to be administered the week of August 14, 2022.
The purpose of this letter is to provide U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approval of the proposed written examination and operating test under Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 55.40(b)(4) and to confirm the final arrangements for the upcoming operator licensing examination at Williams B. McGuire Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2.


As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare both the operating test and written examination based on the guidelines in Revision 12 of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors." The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regional office will discuss with your staff any changes 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.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has approved the subject examinations, and you may administer the written examination in accordance with Revision 12 to NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors, during the week of August 14, 2023. The NRC staff will administer the operating tests during the weeks of July 31, 2023 and August 7, 2023. The list of the applicants approved to take the examination has been provided to your office.


To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the operating test outline by March 3, 2023. Mr. Bacon provided the written examination outline to your staff on June 29, 2022. 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 May 17, 2023. 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.
The examinations have undergone extensive review by my staff and representatives responsible for licensed operator training at your facility. Based on this review, I have concluded that the examinations meet the guidelines of NUREG-1021 for content, operational, and discrimination validity. By administering this examination, you also agree that it meets NUREG-1021 guidelines and is appropriate for measuring the qualifications of licensed operator applicants at your facility. If you determine that this examination is not appropriate for licensing operators at your facility, do not administer the examination and contact me at (404) 997-4703.


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. 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.
Please contact your Chief Examiner, Mark Bates at (404) 997-4612 if you have any questions or identify any errors or changes in license level (reactor operator or senior reactor operator) or type of examination (partial or complete written examination or operating test, or both) specified for each applicant approved to take the examination.
 
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 and/or excusal requests (Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval number 3150-0090) at least 60 days before the first examination date (if possible). Contact Mr. Bacon to determine the method for submission of the waiver 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 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 guidelines for receiving waiver or excusal requests call for 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 licensee to the NRC are not binding.
 
Submittals addressing waivers or excusals, or both, should be in writing (i.e., using NRC Form 398, Personal Qualifications Statement - Licensee, or as directed by Mr. Bates when contacting him 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 Office of Management and Budget, approval number 3150-0018.
 
The burden to the public for these voluntary information collections is estimated to average 2,250 hours 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 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; email:
oira_submission@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, of the agencys Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its enclosures will be available electronically for public inspection through the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm.adams.html.
 
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Mr. Mosteller has been advised of the policies and guidelines referenced in this letter. If you have any questions regarding the NRC's examination procedures and guidelines, please contact Mr. Bacon at (404) 997-4518, (Internet E-mail: Daniel.Bacon@nrc.gov), or me at (404) 997-4703, (Internet E-mail:
