SUBJECT:
WATTS BAR NUCLEAR PLANT - NRC OPERATOR LICENSING
EXAMINATION APPROVAL 05000390/2022301 AND 05000391/2022301
Dear Mr. Barstow:
The purpose of this letter is to confirm the final arrangements for the upcoming operator
licensing written examination at the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (Units 1 and 2).
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has approved the subject examinations,
and you may administer the written examination in accordance with Revision 12 to NUREG-
1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors, during the week of
August 15, 2022. The NRC staff will administer the operating tests during the week of August 8,
2022. The list of the applicants approved to take the examination has been provided to your
office.
The 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 (404) 997-4703.
Please contact your Chief Examiner, Mr. David Lanyi, at (404) 997-4487, if you have any
questions or identify any errors or changes in license level (reactor operator or senior reactor
