SUBJECT:
WATTS BAR NUCLEAR PLANT - OPERATOR LICENSING WRITTEN
EXAMINATION APPROVAL 05000390/2011302
Dear Mr. Thompson:
The purpose of this letter is to confirm the final arrangements for the upcoming operator
licensing written examination at Watts Bar 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 week of December 19, 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 December 29, 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) 997-4608.

Please contact your 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/ Ronald Aiello For B. Caballero
