EXAMINATION APPROVAL 05000424/2014301 AND 05000425/2014301

Dear Mr. Nesbitt:

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

licensing operating examination at the Vogtle Nuclear Power 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 will administer the operating tests to

individuals, as applicable, the week of May 12, 2014. 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, the week of

May 26, 2014.

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 operating

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) 997-4662.

C. Nesbitt 2

Please contact the Chief Examiner, Ms. Amanda Toth, at (404) 997-4520 if you have any

Sincerely,
