Dear Mr. Peterson:

December 1 and Decemoer 15,1997.
Your staff will prepare the proposed examinations in accordance with the guidelines in Revision 8, of NUREG-1021, " Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors." The NRC regional office will discuss with your staff any examination changes that might be necessary prior to their administration.
To meet the above scheduie, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the proposed examination outlines by September 22,1997. The proposed written examinations, operating tests, Pnd the supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 2 of ES 201 will be due by October 20,1997. Any delay in receiving the required reference and examination materials or the submittal of inadequate or incomplete materials may result in the examinations being rescheduled.
In order to conduct the requested written examinations and operating tests, it will be necessary for your staff to prov!de 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.
Your staff should submit preliminary reactor operator and senior reactor operator license applications and waiver requests at least 30 days before the first examination date so that the NRC will be able to revi>w the applications and the medical certifications and evaluate any reqyested waivers. 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.
