UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION I 2100 RENAISSANCE BOULEVARD, SUITE 100 KING OF PRUSSIA, PENNSYLVANIA 19406-1415 July 11, 2013 Mr. Kevin Walsh Site Vice President Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant NextEra Energy Seabrook, LLC c/o Mr. Michael OKeefe P.O. Box 300 Seabrook, NH 03874

SUBJECT:

INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING WRITTEN EXAMINATION APPROVAL (SEABROOK STATION, UNIT NO. 1)

Dear Mr. Walsh:

The purpose of this letter is to confirm the final arrangements for the upcoming written operator licensing examination at Seabrook Station, Unit No. 1. Please note that the operating test approval has been 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. K. Browne, Nuclear Training Manager. Note that any examination waivers and application denials have been addressed in separate correspondence.

The NRC has approved the written examination in accordance with NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," Revision 9, Supplement 1. Your staff will administer the written examination during the week of July 22, 2013. 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-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 operator applicants at your facility.

If you determine that this written examination is not appropriate for licensing operators at your facility, do not administer the examination and contact me at (610) 337-5306.

Mr. K. Walsh 2

Please contact your Chief Examiner, Mr. David Silk at (610) 337-5372, if you have any questions or identify any errors or changes in the license level (reactor operator or senior reactor operator), or type of examination (partial or complete written examination), specified for each applicant.

Sincerely,

/RA/
