SUBJECT:
COOPER NUCLEAR STATION - NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING
EXAMINATION APPROVAL 05000298/2020302
Dear Mr. Dent:
The purpose of this letter is to confirm the final arrangements for the upcoming operator
licensing examinations at Cooper Nuclear Station.
The NRC has completed its review of the operator license applications submitted in connection
with this examination and separately provided a list of approved applicants to James Florence,
Superintendent, Simulator and Training Support. Note that any examination waivers and
application denials have been addressed in separate correspondence.
The NRC has approved the subject examinations and hereby authorizes you to administer the
written examination in accordance with NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination
Standards for Power Reactors," Revision 11, on September 29, 2020. The NRC staff will
administer the operating tests during the week of September 21, 2020. This examination 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 examination meets the
guidelines of NUREG-1021 for content, operational, and discrimination validity. By
administering this examination, you also agree that it meets NUREG-1021 guidelines and is
appropriate for measuring the qualifications of licensed operator applicants at your facility. If
you determine that this examination is not appropriate for licensing operators at your facility, do
not administer the examination and contact me at 817-200-1159.
J. Dent, Jr.

Please contact John Kirkland, chief examiner, at 817-200-1771, if you have any questions or

complete written examination and/or operating test) specified for each applicant approved to
take the examination.
Sincerely,
Gregory E. Werner, Chief
Operations Branch
