lNlTlAL OPEMTOR LICENSING OPERATING TEST APPROVAL -

THREE MILE ISLAND NUCLEAR STATION, UNIT 1

Dear Mr. Pacilio:

The purpose of this letter is to confirm the final arrangements for the upcoming operator licensing examinations for the operating test at the Three Mile lsland Nuclear Station, Unit 1.

Please note that written examination approvalwill be communicated under separate correspondence.

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 Mr. Thomas VanWyen, Director of Training. Note that any examination waivers and application denials have been addressed in separate correspondence.

The NRC approved the subject operating test in accordance with NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," Revision 9, Supplement 1 on April 4, 2012. The NRC staff will administer the operating tests during the week of April 16, 2Q12. This examination has undergone extensive review by my staff and representatives responsible for licensed operator training at your facility. Based on this review I have concluded that the examination meets the guidelines of NUREG-1021for 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 operator applicants at your facility. lf you determine that this examination is not appropriate for licensing operators at your facility, do not administer the examination and contact me at (610) 337-5306.
