SUBJECT:

INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION OPERATING TEST APPROVAL (OYSTER CREEK NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION)

Dear Mr. Rausch:

The purpose of this letter is to confirm the final arrangements for the upcoming operator licensing examinations at Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating 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 Mr. Gregg W. Ludlam, Training Director.

Note that any examination waivers have been addressed in separate correspondence.

The NRC has approved the operating test portion of the examination and will administer those tests to the applicants during the week of April 14, 2008. 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. 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 (610) 337-5046.

We are currently reviewing your staffs comments on the written exam. We will notify you by letter when our review is finished, at which point you will be authorized to administer the written portion of the license exam.

Please contact your Chief Examiner, John Caruso, at 610-337-5389, 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/

Samuel L. Hansell, Jr., Chief Operations Branch Division of Reactor Safety
