Subject: Operator Licensing Examination Site Visit (Generic Letter No.
83-01)
The NRC currently is developing data which will form the basis for our
operator license application review scheduling, manpower and resource
allocation planning, and budget preparation through 1985. In order to do
this, we are seeking your help in the form of certain information which this
letter defines.
Please identify all requests for site visits to conduct operator licensing
examinations or instructor certification examinations which you plan to
submit to us between now and December 31, 1985 which should fall into one of
the following categories:
(1) Initial (cold) license examinations for units applying for operating
licenses.
(2) Initial license examinations to extend licenses to a second, identical
unit after initial licensing.
(3) Examinations to support certification of utility employees as
instructors.
(4) Examinations to support certification of individuals who are not
utility employees but who are under contract to instruct licensed
operators.
(5) Examinations for initial licensing of personnel at operating facilities
or for upgrading a license from the Reactor Operator to the Senior
Operator level.
We appreciate that your plans regarding all the requested information might
not be firm at this time, but would like the best estimates you can give,
including probable number of candidates. If a submittal date, or an
application itself, or both are tentative, indicate that and we will treat
the data appropriately.
