SUBJECT: SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF LICENSED
OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATION 05000400/2013301
Dear Mr. Hamrick:
In a telephone conversation on January 3, 2013, between Mr. Scotty Scott, Superintendent of
Operations Training, Mr. Artie Sylvester, Supervisor Operator Initial Training, Mr. Mac McDade,
Simulator Specialist, Mr. Simon Schwindt, Supervisor Licensed Operator Continuing Training,
Mr. Richard Horton, Senior Nuclear Operations Training Instructor, Mr. Archie Lucky, Senior
Nuclear Operations Training Instructor, and Mr. Bruno Caballero, Senior Operations Engineer,
arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at the Harris Nuclear
Plant. The operating test is scheduled to be administered during the weeks of September 9 and
September 16, 2013. The written examination is scheduled to be administered the week of
September 23, 2013. The on-site preparatory week is scheduled for the week of August 12,
2013.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare both the operating test and
written examination based on the guidelines in Revision 9, Supplement 1, of NUREG-1021,
"Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors." The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) 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 and the supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 by March
25, 2013. Mr. Bruno Caballero provided the written examination outline to your staff in
December 2012. The written examination will be due by July 1, 2013 and the operating test will
be due by July 8, 2013. 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 outline, examination, and test 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. 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.
T. Hamrick 2
In order 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 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, medical certifications, and waiver
requests (if any) 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 the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) under approval number 3150-0018, which expires on February
28, 2013. The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average
500 hours0.00579 days <br />0.139 hours <br />8.267196e-4 weeks <br />1.9025e-4 months <br /> 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 at 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 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter will be
available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the
Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRCs document system (ADAMS).
ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the
Public Electronic Reading Room).

policies and guidelines referenced in this letter. If you have any questions regarding the NRC's
examination procedures and guidelines, please contact Mr. Bruno Caballero at (404) 997- 4608,
