SUBJECT:        BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF LICENSED
                OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATION 05000259/2015302, 05000260/2015302,
                AND 05000296/2015302
Dear Mr. Shea:
In a telephone conversation on June 17, 2015 between Mr. D. Binkley, Initial License Training
Supervisor, Mr. J. Viera, Chief Under Instruction, and Mr. P. Capehart, Senior Operations
Engineer, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at Browns
Ferry Nuclear Plant during the week of November 16, 2015. The written examination is
scheduled to be administered during the week of November 23, 2015. The on-site preparatory
week is scheduled for the week of October 19, 2015.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on
the guidelines in Revision 10, of 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. Your staff has also agreed to make
copies of all examination materials that are necessary for administering the examination.
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the operating test
outline by August 10, 2015. Mr. P. Capehart, provided the written examination outline to your
staff in March 2015. The written examinations, operating tests, and supporting reference
materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by September 17, 2015. 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 Commission 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. 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, 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
 
J. Shea                                        2
should retain the original simulator performance data (e.g., system pressures, temperatures,
and levels) generated during the dynamic operating tests until the examination results are final.
Appendix E of 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 license applications (Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approval number 3150-0090), medical certifications (OMB approval number 3150-0024),
and waiver requests (if any)(OMB approval number 3150-0090) 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. Signed applications certifying that all training has
been completed should be submitted at least 14 days before the first examination date.
This letter contains information collections that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). These information collections were approved by OMB, under
approval number 3150-0018, which expires on April 30, 2016. The public reporting burden for
this collection of information is estimated to average 2500 hours per response, including the
time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining the data needed, writing the
examinations, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments on
any aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to the
Information and Records Management Branch (T-6 F33), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
Washington, DC 20555-0001, or by Internet electronic mail to infocollectsresource@nrc.gov and
to the Desk Officer, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, NEOB-10202, (3150-0018),
Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503.
The NRC may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, an
information collection, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding,
of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its enclosures will be available
electronically for public inspection in the NRCs Public Document Room or from the Publicly
Available Records (PARS) component of the NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and
Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the Electronic Reading Room page
of the NRCs public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.
