SUBJECT:
VOGTLE NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - OPERATOR LICENSING - OPERATING
EXAMINATION APPROVAL 05000424/2013301 AND 05000425/2013301
Dear Mr. Brown:
The purpose of this letter is to confirm the final arrangements for the upcoming operator licensing
operating examination at the Vogtle 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 April 15, 2013, and April 29, 2013. 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,
