SUBJECT:

CATAWBA NUCLEAR STATION - NOTIFICATION OF LICENSED OPERATOR

INITIAL EXAMINATION NOS. - 05000413/2016301 AND 05000414/2016301

Dear Mr. Henderson:

During a telephone conversation on December 16, 2015, between Mr. Bruce Boyette,

Operations Training Instructor, and Mr. Michael Meeks, Senior Operations Engineer,

arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at Catawba Nuclear

Station. The operating test is scheduled to be administered during the week of May 16, 2016.

The written examination is scheduled to be administered the week of May 23, 2016. The on-site

preparatory week is scheduled for the week of April 18, 2016.

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

written examination based on the guidelines in Revision 10 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 February 16, 2016. Mr. Meeks provided the written examination outline to your staff

in September, 2015. The operating test, written examination, and the supporting reference

materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by March 17, 2016. 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.

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 (Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) approval number 3150-0090), medical certifications (OMB approval number 3150-0024),

and waiver requests (if any) (OMB approval number 3150-0090) 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 OMB under

approval number 3150-0018, which expires on April 30, 2016. The public reporting burden for

this collection of information is estimated to average 2500 hours0.0289 days <br />0.694 hours <br />0.00413 weeks <br />9.5125e-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).
