SUBJECT:

INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING OPERATING TEST APPROVAL (PEACH BOTTOM ATOMIC POWER STATION, UNITS 2 AND 3)

Dear Mr. Hanson:

The purpose of this letter is to confirm the final arrangements for the upcoming operator licensing examinations for the operating test at the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3. Please note that written examination approval will be 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. Robert Reiner, Director of Training. Note that any examination waivers and application denials have been addressed in separate correspondence.

The NRC approved the subject operating test in accordance with NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," Revision 9, Supplement 1 on March 13, 2015. The NRC staff will administer the operating tests during the week of March 23, 2015. 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 examination is not appropriate for licensing operators at your facility, do not administer the examination and contact me at (610) 337-5306.

B. Hanson 2 Please contact your Chief Examiner, Mr. Peter Presby at (610) 337-5392, if you have any questions or identify any errors or changes in the license level Reactor Operator (RO) or Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) or type of examination (partial or complete operating test) specified for each applicant.

Sincerely,

/RA/
