SUBJECT: OCONEE - OPERATOR LICENSING WRITTEN EXAMINATION

APPROVAL 05000269/2015302, 05000270/2015302 AND 05000287/2015302

Dear Mr. Steely:

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

written examination at Oconee Nuclear Station.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (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 your office. The NRC staff will administer operating tests to these

individuals, as applicable, on December 3, 2015, and the week of December 7, 2015. Note that

any examination waivers and application denials have been addressed in separate

correspondence.

The NRC has approved the subject written examination and hereby authorizes you to administer

the written examination in accordance with Revision 10 of NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing

Examination Standards for Power Reactors, the week of December 14, 2015.

This examination has undergone extensive review by my staff and representatives responsible for

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 operators 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) 997-4551.

J. Steely 2

Please contact Mr. Andreas Goldau at (404) 997-4528, if you have any questions or identify any

errors or changes in license level (RO or SRO) or type of examination (partial or complete written

examination and/or operating test) specified for each applicant on the list of approved applicants.

Sincerely,

/RA/
