SUBJECT: BROWNS FERRY - OPERATOR LICENSING WRITTEN EXAMINATION
APPROVAL 50000259/2011302, 5000260/2011302 AND 5000296/2011302
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 Station.
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 operating tests to these
individuals, as applicable, during the week of August 8, 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 on August 19, 2011, 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) 997-4436.
Please contact your Chief Examiner, Mr. Bruno Caballero, at (404) 997-4608 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/
Mark E. Franke, Chief
