Mr. Fadi Diya, Senior Vice President 
 
  and Chief Nuclear Officer
Ameren Missouri
Callaway Plant
P.O. 620 Fulton, MO 65251
 
SUBJECT: CALLAWAY PLANT, UNIT 1 - NOTIFICATION OF NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION 05000483/2017301 
Dear Mr. Diya:
 
In a telephone conversation on December 19, 2016, between Mr. John Kirkland, Senior
Operations Engineer, and Mr. Phillip Swan, Operations Supervisor, arrangements were made
for the administration of operator licensing examinat
ions at your Callaway Plant, Unit 1, during the week of September 11, 2017.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on the guidelines in Revision 11, of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors."  The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Region IV 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 June 21, 2017.  The written examination outline was provided to your staff on January 4, 2017.  The written examinations, operating tests, and supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by July 19, 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 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 August 14, 2017.
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
UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION IV 1600 E. LAMAR BLVD ARLINGTON, TX 76011-4511 
F. Diya 2 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 its licensing action on all of 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. Kirkland 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 when Mr. Kirkland is 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.
 
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
