SUBJECT: SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - OPERATOR LICENSING -

OPERATING EXAMINATION APPROVAL 05000400/2012301

Dear Mr. Griffith:

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

operating examination at the Harris 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 will begin administering the operating tests to individuals, as

applicable, during the weeks of February 13, 2012, and February 21, 2012. Note that any examination

waivers and application denials have been addressed in separate correspondence.

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 operating 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 the Chief Examiner, Mr. Richard S. Baldwin, at (404) 997-4642 if you have any questions

or identify any errors or changes in license level (RO or SRO) or type of examination (operating test)

specified for each applicant on the list of approved applicants.

Sincerely,

/RA by Malcolm T. Widmann for/
