SUBJECT:
WATERFORD STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNIT 3 - NOTIFICATION OF NRC
INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION 05000385/2007302
Dear Mr. Walsh:
In a telephone conversation on August 1, 2007, between Messrs. Keith Vines, Senior
Operations Instructor, and Tom Stetka, NRC Chief Examiner, arrangements were made for the
administration of licensing written retake examinations at the Waterford Steam Electric Station
on November 8, 2007.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examination based on
the guidelines in Revision 9 of NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for
Power Reactors. The NRCs regional office will discuss with your staff any changes that might
be necessary before the examination is administered.
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the examination
outline by August 29, 2007. The written examination and supporting reference materials
identified in Attachment 2 to ES-201 will be due by September 28, 2007. Pursuant to Title 10,
Section 55.40(b)(3), of the Code of Federal Regulations, an authorized representative of the
facility licensee shall approve the outline and written examination before they are submitted to
the NRC for review and approval. The examination shall be complete and ready-to-use. Any
delay in receiving the required examination and reference materials, or the submittal of
inadequate or incomplete materials, may cause the examination to be rescheduled.
In order to conduct the requested written examination, it will be necessary for your staff to
provide adequate space and accommodations, and to administer the examination in
accordance with ES-402.
Appendix E to NUREG-1021 contains a number of NRC policies and guidelines that will be
in effect while the written examination is being administered.

requests (OMB approval number 3150-0090) at least 30 days before the first examination date.
If the application is not received at least 30 days before the examination date, a postponement
may be necessary. A signed application certifying that all training has been completed should
be submitted at least 14 days before the first examination date.
