SUBJECT: SEQUOYAH - OPERATOR LICENSING WRITTEN EXAMINATION APPROVAL

05000327/2013302 AND 05000328/2013302

Dear Mr. Smith:

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

licensing written examination at Sequoyah 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 began administering the operating tests to

individuals, as applicable, the week of December 2, 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, during the week of

December 16, 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) 997-4550.

Please contact your Chief Examiner, Mr. Kenneth Schaaf, at (404) 997-4468 if you have any

questions or identify any errors or changes in license level (RO or SRO) specified for each

applicant on the list of approved applicants.

Sincerely,

/RA/
