SUBJECT: REQUALIFICATION PROGRAM INSPECTION - VIRGIL C. SUMMER
NUCLEAR STATION UNIT 1 - 05000395/2023003
Dear Mr. Robert Justice:
In a telephone conversation on June 1, 2023, Mr. Shane Battenfield, Operations Engineer, and
Ms. Lesley Ainsworth, Supervisor Nuclear Training, made arrangements for the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC) to inspect the licensed operator requalification program at the
Summer Nuclear Station Unit 1. The inspection is planned for the week of August 7, 2023,
which coincides with your regularly scheduled requalification examination cycle. The staff at
your facility should prepare and conduct the requalification examinations in accordance with
your NRC-approved requalification program. It is our understanding that you have committed to
maintain your plant-referenced simulator in accordance with ANSI/ANS-3.5-2009, American
National Standard for Nuclear Power Plant Simulators for Use in Operator Training and
Examination, and that you have also committed to ANSI/ANS-3.4-2013, Medical Certification
and Monitoring of Personnel Requiring Operator Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants.
In accordance with 10 CFR 55.59, the NRC has requested that you submit the material as
specified in paragraph A of the Enclosure, to support the NRC's in-office inspection program
needs. The NRC has further requested that you have all items as specified in paragraph B of
the Enclosure available for review for the inspectors on the first day they arrive on site. Ms.
Ainsworth has been advised of this request and provided with the name of the NRC lead
inspector assigned to this inspection and the methodology to electronically transfer materials
has been coordinated.
