Mr. R. J. Duncan, II.
Vice President Carolina Power and Light Company H.B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant Unit 2 3581 West Entrance Road Hartsville, SC 29550
SUBJECT: H.B. ROBINSON NUCLEAR STATION - REVISION - NOTIFICATION OF LICENSED OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATION - 05000261/2011301
Dear Mr. Duncan:
In a telephone conversation on December 12, 2010, between Mr. Rick Moore, Examination Development Supervisor and Mr. Richard S. Baldwin, Senior Operations Engineer, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at the H.B. Robinson Nuclear Station. The operating test has been rescheduled to be administered during the week of February 28, 2011, and March 07, 2011. The written examination that is scheduled to be administered on March 22, 2011, has not changed. The on-site preparatory week scheduled for the week of February 7, 2011, has not changed. 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 December 15, 2010. Mr. Baldwin provided a written examination outline to your staff on August 18, 2010. The written examination and the supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201, was received on January 18, 2011. The operating test and its supporting reference materials will be due January 18, 2011. 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, 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.
CP&L 2 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.
