2015 PERRY NUCLEAR POWER PLANT INITIAL LICENSE EXAMINATION MISCELLANEOUS CORRESPONDENCE
UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION Ill 2443 WARRENVILLE ROAD, SUITE 210 LISLE, ILLINIOIS 60532-4352 January 29, 2015 Mr. Ernest Harkness Site Vice President FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company Perry Nuclear Power Plant P. 0. Box 97, 10 Center Road, A-PY-A290 Perry, OH 44081-0097
SUBJECT:
OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION APPROVAL
Dear Mr. Harkness:
The purpose of this letter is to confirm the final arrangements for the upcoming operator licensing examinations at the Perry Nuclear Power Plant.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has completed its review of the operator license applications submitted in connection with this examination and separately provided a list of approved applicants to Mr. Richard Strohl, Training Manager. Note that any examination waivers and application denials have been addressed in separate correspondence.
The NRC has approved the subject examinations and you may administer the written examinations in accordance with Revision 9, Supplement 1 of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," during the week of February 16, 2015.
The NRC staff will administer the operating tests during the weeks of February 2 and 9, 2015.
This examination has undergone extensive review by my staff and representatives responsible for licensed operator training at your facility. Based on this review, I have concluded that the examination meets the guidelines of NUREG-1021 for content, operational, and discrimination validity. By administering this examination, you also agree that it meets NUREG-1021 guidelines, and is appropriate for measuring the qualifications of licensed operator applicants at your facility. If you determine that this examination is not appropriate for licensing the operators at your facility, do not administer the examination and contact me at 630-829-9707.
Please contact your Chief Examiner, Mr. Raymond Walton, at 630-829-9836, if you have any questions or identify any errors or changes in the license level reactor operator (RO) or senior reactor operator (SRO) or type of examination (partial or complete written examination and/or operating test) specified for each applicant.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390, "Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding," of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC's Public Document
