NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION APPROVAL

05000445/2016301; 05000446/2016301

Dear Mr. Peters:

The purpose of this letter is to confirm the final arrangements for the upcoming operator

licensing examinations at the Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2.

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 R. Blankenship,

Facility Representative. Note that any examination waivers and application denials have been

addressed in separate correspondence.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has approved the subject examinations and

you may administer the written examinations in accordance with Revision 10, of NUREG-1021,

Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors, on July 18, 2016. The NRC

staff will administer the operating tests during the week of July 11, 2016. 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.

Please contact your Chief Examiner, Brian Larson, at (817) 200-1172, 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 written examination and/or operating test) specified for each applicant.

Sincerely,

/RA/
