Dear Mr. Crane:

In a telephone conversation on November 6, 2006, between Mr. Raymond Keith Walton of theNRC and Mr. Mark Jensen of Quad Cities Operations Training, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station the weeks of June 4 and June 11, 2007. In addition, the NRC will make an examination validation visit to your facility the week of May 14, 2007.The NRC will prepare the examinations based on the guidelines in Revision 9 of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors." Your staff will be given the opportunity to review the examinations during the week of May 14, 2007.To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the reference materialsidentified in Attachment 2 to ES-201 by December 4, 2006. 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 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 necessaryfor 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 ineffect while the written examinations and operating tests are being administered.
