SUBJECT: BRUNSWICK STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF LICENSED
OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATION 05000325/2010302 AND 05000324/2010302
Dear Mr. Annacone:
In a telephone conversation on July, 21, 2010, between Mr. Mike Nemec, Operations Training
Instructor and Mr. Phillip Capehart, 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 December 6 and December 13, 2010. The
written examination is scheduled to be administered the week of December 21, 2010. The on-
site preparatory week is scheduled for the week of November 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 September 22, 2010. Mr. Capehart provided the written examination outline to your
staff in May 2010. The operating test, written examination, and the supporting reference
materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by October 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-
