e e MAR 00'1M6 Docket No. 50-305 Wisconsin Public Service Corporation ATTN: Mr. D. C. Hintz Manager Nuclear Power Post Office Box 19002 Green Bay, WI 54307-9002

SUBJECT:

OPERATOR AND SENIOR OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATIONS In a telephone conversation between Mr. R.Zube, Kewaunee Simulator Supervisor, and Mr. T. Reidinger, Operator Licensing Examiner, arrangen;ents were made for the administration of examinations at the Kewaunee Nuclear Pcwer Plant.

The written and oral examinations are scheduled for the week of June 23, 1986.

In order for us to meet this schedule, it will be necessary for the facility to furnish the approved reference material listed in Enclosure 1 " Reference Material Requirements for Operator / Senior Operator Licensing Examinations" by May 22, 1986. Any delay in receiving this material will result in a delay in administering the examinations. Our examinations are scheduled far in advance with considerable planning to best utilize our limited examiner manpower and to meet the examination dates requested by the various facilities.

Therefore, missing the May 22, 1986, deadline, even by a few days, will likely result in a long delay since it may not be possible to reschedule examinations at other facilities. Mr. R. Zube has been advised of our reference material requirements, the number of reference material sets that are required, and the r.xaminers' names and addresses where each set is to be mailed.

The facility management is responsible for providing adequate space and facilities in order to properly conduct the written exatinations. Enclosure 2,

! " Administration of Operator / Senior Operator. Licensing Written Examinations,"

describes our requirements for conducting these examinations. Mr. R. Zube has also been informed of these requirements.

I All operator and senior license applications should normally be submitted at least 60 days prior to the first examination dates so that we will be able to review the training and experience of the candidates, process the medical certifications, and prepare final examiner assignments after candidate eligibility has been determined. If the applications are not received at least 30 days prior to the examination dates it is likely that a postponement will be necessery.
