SUBJECT: WATERFORD STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNIT 3: NRC INITIAL

OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION APPROVAL 05000382/2017301

Dear Mr. Chisum:

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

licensing examinations at the Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3.

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 Mr. Robert

Simpson, Manager, Training and Development. 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 April 5, 2017. The NRC

staff will administer the operating tests during the week of March 27, 2017. 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, Chris Cowdrey, at (817) 200-1545, if you have any

questions or identify any errors or changes in the license level (RO or SRO) or type of
