REQUALIFICATION PROGRAM INSPECTION - ST. LUCIE NUCLEAR PLANT

Dear Mr. Nazar:

In a telephone conversation on July 24, 2019, Mr. David Lanyi, Senior Operations Engineer, and Mr. Rick Virgin, Licensed Operator Continuing Training Supervisor, made arrangements for the NRC to inspect the licensed operator requalification program at the St. Lucie Nuclear Plant.

The inspection is planned for the week of September 23, 2019, 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-3.4-1983, 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 by September 3, 2019, the material as specified in paragraph A of the Enclosure, in order to support the NRC's inspection program needs. The NRC has further requested that you have all items as specified in paragraph B of the Enclosure available for review by the inspectors on the first day they arrive on site.
