SUBJECT:

OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION APPROVAL - OPERATING TEST (SALEM GENERATING STATION)

Dear Mr. Levis:

The purpose of this letter is to confirm the final arrangements for the upcoming operator licensing examinations at the Salem 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. Marios Kafantaris, Director of Training. Note that any examination waivers and application denials have been addressed in separate correspondence.

The NRC has approved the subject examination and the NRC staff will administer the operating test in accordance with Revision 9, Supplement 1, of NUREG-1021, AOperator Licensing Examinations Standards for Power Reactors,@ during the week of August 25, 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. 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 (610) 337-5046.

This letter only authorizes administration of the operating test. Authorization to administer the written exam will be the subject of separate correspondence.

Please contact your Chief Examiner, Brian C. Haagensen at 610-337-5084, if you have any questions or identify any errors or changes in the license level (RO or SRO) or type of examination (operating test) specified for each applicant.

Sincerely,

/RA by Darrell Roberts acting for/
