December 8, 2009 Rick A. Muench, President and Chief Executive Officer Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation P.O. Box 411 Burlington, KS 66839

SUBJECT:

WOLF CREEK NUCLEAR OPERATING CORPORATION, UNIT 1 - NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION APPROVAL 05000482/2009302

Dear Mr. Muench:

The purpose of this letter is to confirm the final arrangements for the upcoming operator licensing retake examination at Wolf Creek Generating Station that will consist of the Simulator Scenario portion of the operating test.

The NRC has completed its review of the operator license application submitted in connection with this examination and separately provided a list with the approved applicant to Rick Murray, Licensed Supervising Instructor. Note that any examination waivers have been addressed in separate correspondence.

The NRC staff will administer the operating test on December 15, 2009. This operating test has undergone extensive review by my staff and representatives responsible for licensed operator training at your facility. Based on this review, I have concluded that the operating test meets the guidelines of NUREG-1021 for content, operational, and discrimination validity.

Please contact your Chief Examiner, Gabriel Apger, at (817) 276-6508, if you have any questions or identify any errors or changes in the license level (RO or SRO) or type of examination (partial or complete operating test) specified for the applicant.

Sincerely,

/RA/
