C. Osterholtz, Chief Examiner, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing retake examinations at Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 2, during the week of July 21, 2014. The examination retakes will consist of two written examination retakes , one eac h for a reactor operator and an upgrade senior reactor operator applicant, and one retake of job performance measures for one other upgrade senior reactor operator applicant.
As agreed during the meeting, your staff will prepare the examination
s based on the guidelines in NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," Revision 9 , Supplement 1, and NUREG
-1122, "Knowledge and Abilities Catalog for Nuclear Power Plant Operators," Revision 2, Supplement 1.
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 examination outlines by May 9, 2014. The examination and supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES
-201 will be due by June 16, 201 4. 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 outlines and examination 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 supporting reference materials, or the submittal of inadequate or incomplete materials, may cause the examination to be rescheduled.
In addition, your support for on-site validation of the examination is required during the week of July 21, 2014. 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.
