Dear Mr. Subalusky:

i in a telephone conversation between Mr. Jay Lennartz, and Mr. William Richardson, revised arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at the LaSalle Nuclear Power Station. This letter conveys the new arrangements for the NRC to prepare the examination.

The written and operating examinations are still scheduled for the week of April 21,1997.

Your staff will be given an opportunity to review the licensing examinations in accordance I with the guidelines in Revision 7 of NUREG-1021, " Operator Licensing Examiner Standards," (ES-201, Attachment 4) during the week of April 7,1997.

To prepare the examinations and meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the reference materials identified in Attachment 2 of ES-201 by January 21,1997. Any delay in receiving approved and indexed reference material or the j submittal of inadequate or incomplete reference material may result in the examinations being rescheduled.

The NRC will prepare and administer the written examinations in accordance with ES-401 and ES-402 of NUREG-1021. In crder to conduct the requested examinations, it will be necessary for your staff to provide adequate space and accommodations on the date noted above. The NRC's guidelines for administering the written examinations are described in ES-402, Attachment 1.

The NRC will prepare and administer the operating tests in accordance with ES-301 and ES-302 of NUREG-1021. In order to conduct the requested operating tests, it will be necessary for your staff to make the simulation facility available on the dates noted above.

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.

ES-402, Attachment 2, and ES-302, Attachment 1, contain a number of NRC policies and guidelines that will be in effect while the written examination and operating tests are being administered.
