SUBJECT:
BROWNS FERRY - OPERATOR LICENSING WRITTEN EXAMINATION
APPROVAL 05000259/2013301, 05000260/2013301 AND 05000296/2013301
Dear Mr. Laing:
The purpose of this letter is to confirm the final arrangements for the upcoming operator
licensing written examination at Browns Ferry Nuclear Station.
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 operating tests to these
individuals, as applicable, from June 3-7, 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 the week of June 24, 2013, in accordance with Revision 9,
Supplement 1, of NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power
Reactors.
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.

Please contact your Chief Examiner, Mr. Bruno Caballero, at (404) 997-4608 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/
