WRITTEN EXAMINATION APPROVAL 05000259/2011301, 05000260/2011301 AND

05000296/2011301

Dear Mr. Morris:

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

examination at Browns Ferry Nuclear Power 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 your office. The NRC staff administered the operating tests to individuals, as applicable,

during the weeks of February 7, 2011, and February 14, 2011. Note that any examination waivers and

application denials have been addressed in separate correspondence.

The NRC has re-approved the subject written examination since changes were made after original

approval. I hereby authorize you to administer the written examination in accordance with Revision 9,

Supplement 1, of NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors, on

February 18, 2011.

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) 997-4550.

Please contact the Chief Examiner, Mr. Ronald F. Aiello, at (404) 997-4641 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,

/RA/
