SUBJECT:

WATERFORD STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNIT 3 - NRC INITIAL

OPERATOR LICENSING OPERATING TEST APPROVAL 05000382/2009301

Dear Mr. Kowalewski:

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

licensing examinations at Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3.

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 Horace J. Lewis,

Operations Training Superintendent. Note that any examination waivers and application denials

have been addressed in separate correspondence.

The NRC staff has approved the operating test portion of the examination. The NRC staff will

administer the operating tests during the week of October 5, 2009. As of the date of this letter,

we have not authorized the written examination. The written examination will be approved when

the examination review is complete. The operating test 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 operating test meets the guidelines of NUREG-1021 for

content, operational, and discrimination validity. By assisting with administration of the

operating test, 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 the operating test is not appropriate for licensing operators at your facility, contact me at

(817) 860-8159.

Please contact your Chief Examiner, Brian Larson, at (817) 860-8172, 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 operating test) specified for each applicant.

Sincerely,

/RA/
