- SALEM NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION

Dear Mr. Sena:

In communications on June 12, 2017, between Mr. Joseph M. D'Antonio, Senior Operations Engineer, and Mr. Rudy Chan, Lead Exam Developer

, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at Salem Nuclear Generating Station during the weeks of January 22 and January 29, 2018.

In addition, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will make an examination validation visit to your facility the week of December 10, 2017. As agreed upon during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on the guidelines in Revision 1 1 to NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors.

" The NRC's regional 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 the week of July 31, 2017. The written examination outline was provided to your staff on April 13, 2017.

The written examinations, operating tests, and supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by the week of November, 20, 2017.

Pursuant to Title 10 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.

Delay s in receiving the required materials, or the submittal of inadequate or incomplete materials, may cause the examinations to be cancelled or 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 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 licensing action on all 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.

P. Sena 2 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) control number 3150-0090) at least 60 days before the first examination date (if possible). Contact Mr. Joseph D'A ntonio to determine the method for submission of the waiver or excusal requests.

Preliminary reactor operator and senior reactor operator license applications (OMB control number 3150-0090) and medical certifications (OMB control 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 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. Joseph D'Antonio 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.).
