Operator Licensing Program Feedback
The NRC’s operator licensing program is governed by the regulations in 10
CFR Part 55 and implemented in accordance with the guidance in NUREG-1021,
"Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," and other
documents. Individuals interested in these regulations and standards
have, over time, requested clarification from the NRC’s operator licensing
program office regarding specific policies and issues.
The Operator Licensing Program
Feedback Summary
is generally organized to
conform with the Examination Standards (ES) in NUREG-1021, with bookmarks
and links to related documents. Note that some of the feedback
has been revised to conform with Revision 9 of NUREG-1021, which was published
in July 2004; significant revisions are identified with an "(R9)" and can
easily be located using the Acrobat search function. Although some
of the feedback is very specific in nature and may be limited
in its applicability to other licensees, the staff believes that making
it available on the website will promote a better understanding of
the operator licensing program. Licensees are cautioned to use
the feedback as an aid in understanding the elements of the operator licensing
program and, if appropriate, to discuss their specific circumstances with
the operator licensing staff at the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
or the appropriate NRC Regional Office; moreover, the feedback represents
NRC staff positions that are NOT intended as legal interpretations of the
regulations.
