SUBJECT: VOGTLE NUCLEAR PLANT - OPERATOR LICENSING WRITTEN

EXAMINATION APPROVAL 05000424/2011301 AND 05000425/2011301

Dear Mr. Brigdon:

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

examination at Vogtle 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 your office. The NRC staff administered the operating tests to individuals, as applicable,

during the weeks of March 14, 2011, and March 21, 2011. 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 administer the

written examination in accordance with Revision 9, Supplement 1, of NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing

Examination Standards for Power Reactors, on April 1, 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 your Chief Examiner, Mr. Phillip Capehart, at (404) 997-4483 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/
