SUBJECT: ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE, UNIT 1 - NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING

RETAKE EXAMINATION APPROVAL 05000313/2009301

Dear Mr. Mitchell:

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

licensing examination at Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1.

The NRC has completed its review of the operator license application submitted in connection

with this examination and separately provided a list of the approved applicant to Randal Martin,

Superintendent, Initial Licensed Operator Training. Note that any examination waivers and

application denials have been addressed in separate correspondence.

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

written examination in accordance with NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination

Standards for Power Reactors," Revision 9, Supplement 1, on January 27, 2009. 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) 860-8159.

Please contact your Chief Examiner, Tom McKernon, at (817) 860-8153, 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 the

applicant.

Sincerely,

/RA/
