SUBJECT:

H. B. ROBINSON STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF LICENSED

OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATION 05000261/2013301

Dear Mr. Gideon:

In a telephone conversation on January 30, 2013, between Mr. Jeffery L. Smith, Senior

Operations Instructor, and Mr. Richard S. Baldwin, Chief Examiner, arrangements were made

for the administration of licensing examinations at H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant. The

operating test is scheduled to be administered during the week July 29, 2013. The written

examination is scheduled to be administered the week of August 5, 2013. The on-site

preparatory week is scheduled for the week of July 8, 2013.

As agreed during the telephone conversation meeting, your staff will prepare both the operating

test and written examination based on the guidelines in Revision 9, Supplement 1, of NUREG-

1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors." The U.S. Nuclear

Regulatory Commission (NRC) regional office will discuss with your staff any changes that

might be necessary before the examinations are administered. Your staff has also agreed to

make copies of all examination materials that are necessary for administering the examination.

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

outline by May 15, 2013. Mr. Baldwin will provide a written examination outline to your staff by

February 8, 2013. The operating test, written examination, and the supporting reference

materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by June 14, 2013. Pursuant to Title

10, Section 55.40(b)(3), of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 55.40(b)(3)), an authorized

representative of the facility licensee shall approve the outline, examination, and test before

they are submitted to the NRC for review and approval. All materials shall be complete and

ready-to-use.

We request that any personal, proprietary, sensitive unclassified, or safeguards information in

your response be contained in a separate enclosure and appropriately marked. Any delay in

receiving the required examination and reference materials, or the submittal of inadequate or

incomplete materials, may cause the examinations to be rescheduled.

W. Gideon

In order to conduct the requested written examinations 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 noted 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.

To permit timely NRC review and evaluation, your staff should submit preliminary reactor

operator and senior reactor operator license applications, medical certifications, and waiver

requests (if any) at least 30 days before the first examination date. If the applications are not

received at least 30 days before the examination date, a postponement may be necessary.

Signed applications certifying that all training has been completed should be submitted at least

14 days before the first examination date.

This letter contains information collections that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of

1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). These information collections were approved by the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) under approval number 3150-0018, which expires on February

28, 2013. The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average

500 hours0.00579 days <br />0.139 hours <br />8.267196e-4 weeks <br />1.9025e-4 months <br /> per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining

the data needed, writing the examinations, and completing and reviewing the collection of

information. Send comments on any aspect of this collection of information, including

suggestions for reducing the burden, to the Information and Records Management Branch (T-6

F33), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, or by Internet

electronic mail at infocollectsresource@nrc.gov; and to the Desk Officer, Office of Information

and Regulatory Affairs, NEOB-10202, (3150-0018), Office of Management and Budget,

Washington, DC 20503.

The NRC may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, an

information collection, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its

enclosures will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document

Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRCs document

system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-

rm.adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
