SUBJECT:

REQUALIFICATION PROGRAM INSPECTION - SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR PLANT

Dear Ms. Hamilton:

In a telephone conversation on May 4, 2017, Ms. Swetha Shah, Operations Engineer, and Mr. Edward Bertram, Supervisor - Continuing Training, made arrangements for the NRC to inspect the licensed operator requalification program at the Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant. The inspection is planned for the week of August 7, 2017, which coincides with your regularly scheduled requalification examination cycle. The staff at your facility should prepare and conduct the requalification examinations in accordance with your NRC-approved requalification program. It is our understanding that you have committed to maintain your plant-referenced simulator in accordance with ANSI/ANS-3.5-2009, "American National Standard for Nuclear

Power Plant Simulators for Use in Operator Training and Examination", and that you have also committed to ANSI/ANS-3.4-1983, "Medical Certification and Monitoring of Personnel Requiring Operator Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants."

In accordance with 10 CFR 55.59, the NRC has requested that you submit the material by the due dates specified in paragraph A of the Enclosure, in order to support the NRC's in-office inspection program needs. The NRC has further requested that you have all items as specified in paragraph B of the Enclosure available for review for the inspectors on the first day they arrive on site. Mr. Bertram has been advised of this request and provided with the name and address of the NRC lead inspector assigned to this inspection.
