SUBJECT: HARRIS NUCLEAR PLANT - OPERATOR LICENSING WRITTEN

EXAMINATION APPROVAL 05000400/2013301

Dear Mr. Griffith:

The purpose of this letter is to confirm the final arrangements for the upcoming operator licensing

written examination at Harris 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 September 9, 2013, and September 16, 2013.

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, during the week of September 23, 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.

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/

Mark E. Franke, Chief
