SUBJECT:
VOGTLE NUCLEAR PLANT - OPERATOR LICENSING WRITTEN
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
written examination at Vogtle 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 weeks of April 15, 2013, and April 29, 2013. 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 May 10, 2013.
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.
