- Docket No. 50-341 The' Detroit Edison . Company r ATTN: Wayne H. Jens Vice President-Nuclear Operations 6400 North Dixie Highway

- Newport, MI 48166

SUBJECT:

OPERATOR AND SENIOR OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATIONS In:a' telephone conversation between Mr. J. Coleman, Detroit Edison Company, and

-Mr. T. Lang,_ U. S. NRC, arrangements were made for the administration of examinations at-the Fermi Nuclear Power Plant.

The written and oral examinations are scheduled for the week of March 24, 1986.

In order for us to meet this schedule, it will be necessary for the facility to furnish the approved reference material listed in Enclosure 1 " Reference Material Requirements for Operator / Senior Operator Licensing Examinations"

- by January 10, 1986. Any delay in receiving this material will result in a delay in administering the examinations. Our examinations are scheduled far in advance 'with considerable planning to best utilize our limited ' examiner manpower and to meet the examination dates requested by the various facilities.

~

Therefore, missing the January 10, 1986 deadline, even by a few days, will likely result _ in a-long delay since it may not be possible to reschedule examinations at other facilities. Mr. Coleman has been advised of our reference material requirements,. the number of reference _ material sets that are required,.and the_ examiners' names and addresses where each set is to be mailed.

The facility management is responsible for providing adequate space and' facilities in order to properly conduct the written examinations.

~ Enclosure 2, " Administration of Operator / Senior Operator Licensing Written Examinations," describes our requirements for conducting these~ examinations.

Mr. -Coleman has also been informed of these requirements.

All' operator and senior license applications should nonnally be submitted at

.least 60 days prior to the first examination dates so that we will be able to review the training and experience of the candidates, process the medi cal certifications, and prepare final examiner assignments after candidate eligibility has been determined. If the applications are not received at least 30 days prior to the examination dates it'is likely that a postponement will be necessary.
