EXAMINATION APPROVAL 05000348/2008301 AND 05000364/2008301

Dear Mr. Horn:

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

licensing written examination at the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant.

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 Ms. Donna Christiansen, Operations Training Supervisor. The NRC

staff will administer the operating tests to these individuals, as applicable, during the weeks of

October 27, 2008, and November 3, 2008. 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 admin-

ister the written examination in accordance with Revision 9, Supplement 1, of NUREG-1021,

Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors, during the week of

November 10, 2008.

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 deter-

mine that this examination is not appropriate for licensing operators at your facility, do not

administer the examination and contact me at (404) 562-4550.

Please contact your Chief Examiner, Mr. Mark Bates, at (404) 562-4612 or Mr. Craig Kontz,

Chief Under Instruction (CUI), at (404) 562-4715, if you have any questions or identify any
