SUBJECT: BROWNS FERRY - OPERATOR LICENSING WRITTEN EXAMINATION

APPROVAL 05000259/2014301, 05000260/2014301 AND 05000296/2014301

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 April 28 - May 2, 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 on May 9, 2014, 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) 997-4662.

D. Laing 2

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 by MBates for/
