UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION II SAM NUNN ATLANTA FEDERAL CENTER 61 FORSYTH STREET, SW, SUITE 23T85 ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303-8931
December 4, 2009 Mr. Benjamin C. Waldrep Vice President Carolina Power and Light Company
Brunswick Steam Electric Plant P.O. Box 10429 Southport, NC 28461
SUBJECT: BRUNSWICK STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF LICENSED OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATION 05000325/2010301 AND 05000324/2010301
Dear Mr. Waldrep:
In a telephone conversation on December, 03, 2009, between Mr. Bob Bolin, Operations
Training Instructor and Mr. Rick Baldwin, Chief Examiner, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at Brunswick Steam Electric Plant. The operating test is scheduled to be administered during the weeks of April 05 & 12, 2010. The written examination is scheduled to be administered the week of April 19, 2010. The on-site preparatory week is scheduled for the week of March 15, 2010.
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 by January 20, 2010. Mr. Baldwin provided the written examination outline to your staff in April 2009. The operating test, written examination, and the supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by February 19, 2010. Pursuant to Title 10, Section 55.40(b)(3), of the Code of Federal Regulations (10CFR55.40(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.
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,
CP&L 2 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. 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-
