SUBJECT: VOGTLE ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT - OPERATOR LICENSING WRITTEN

EXAMINATION APPROVAL - EXAM NOS. 05000424/2009301 AND 05000425/2009301

Dear Mr. Brown:

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

examinations at the Vogtle Electric Generating 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 you. The NRC staff administered the operating tests to these individuals, as applicable,

during the week of June 1, 2009. Note that any examination waivers and application denials have been

addressed in separate correspondence.

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

written examinations on June 26, 2009, in accordance with Revision 9, Supplement 1, of NUREG-1021,

Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors.

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 determine 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. Edwin Lea, at (404) 562-4567 if you have any questions or

identify any errors or changes in license level (RO or SRO) or type of examination (partial or complete

written examination and/or operating test) specified for each applicant on the list of approved applicants.

Sincerely,
