SUBJECT:

SENIOR REACTOR AND REACTOR INITIAL EXAMINATIONS -

Dear Mr. Rainey:

In a telephone conversation on May 3,1999 between Mr. J. Williams and Mr. B. Bierly, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at the Peach Bottom facility during the week of September 13,1999.

As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on the guidelines in interim Revision 8, of NUREG-1021, " Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors." The NRC regional office will discuss with your staff any

. changes that might be necessary before the examinations are administered.

To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the examination

- outlines by July 16,1999. The written examinations, operating tests,- and the supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 2 of ES-201 will be due by August 9,1999. Any i delay in receiving the required examination and reference materials, or the submittal of

' inadequate or incomplete materials, may cause the examinations to be rescheduled. ,

1 in order to conduct the requested written examination 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 notes 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.

. 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.
