T, t-DM4' JAN 11 1988 Docket No. 50-346 Toledo Edison Company ATTN: Mr. Donald Shelton Vice President Nuclear Edison Plaza 300 Madison Avenue Toledo, OH 43652
Dear Mr. Shelton:
SUBJECT:
OPERATOR AND SENIOR OPERATOR LICENS1hG EXAMINATIONS In a telephone conversation between Mr. Tony Stallard, and Mr. T. Reidinger, arrangements were made for the administration of examinations at the Davis Besse Nuclear Power Station.
The written and oral examinations are scheduled for the week of May 16, 1988.
+
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 Reactor / Senior Reactor Operator Licensing Examinations" at least 60 days prior to the examination date. Any delay in receiving properly bound and indexed reference material will result in a delay ,
in administering the examinations. Our examinations are scheduied 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 decdline, 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. Tony.Stallard has been advised of our reference material requirements, the number of reference material sets that are required, and the examiners' names and addresses where each set is to be mailed.
The facility management is responsible for providing adequate space and accommodations in order to properly conduct the written examinations.
Enclosure 2, "Administration of Reactor / Senior Reactor Operator Licensing Written Examinations," describes our requirements for conductir.g these examinations. Mr. Tony Stallard has also been informed of these requirements.
v D PD
/ / 76
, 3AN l'i 1988 Toledo Edison Company 2 Enclosure 3 contains the Rules and Guidance that will be in effect during the administration of the written examination. The facility management is responsible for ensuring tnat all candidates are aware of these Rules.
All reactor operator and senior. reactor operator 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 l to the examination dates, it is likely that a postponement will be l necessary. l This request for information was approved by the Office of Man *gement and Budget under Clearance Number 3150-0101, which expires May 31, 1989, i Comments on burden and duplication may be directed to the Officc of !
Management and Budget, Reports Management Room 3208, New Executive Office j Building, Washington, D.C. 20503. l The facility staff review of the written examination will be conducted in-accordance with require.ments specified in Enclosure 4 "Requirements for Facility Review of Written Examination." Mr. Tony Stallard has been informed of these requirements.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter. If you have any questions ,
regarding the examination procedures and requirements, please contact {
T. Reidinger at (312) 790-5551. 1 Sincerely, ;
