SUBJECT: COMANCHE PEAK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 - NRC INITIAL

OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION APPROVAL 05000445/2015302;

05000446/2015302

Dear Mr. Flores:

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

licensing examinations at the Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant.

The 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 Garry Struble,

Licensing Exam Manager. Note that any examination waivers and application denials have

been addressed in separate correspondence.

The NRC has approved the subject examinations and hereby authorizes you to administer the

written examination in accordance with NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination

Standards for Power Reactors," Revision 9, Supplement 1, on June 8, 2015. The NRC staff will

administer the operating tests during the week of June 1, 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 (817) 200-1159.

Please contact your Chief Examiner, Clyde Osterholtz, at (817) 200-1269, if you have any

questions or identify any errors or changes in the license level (RO or SRO) or type of

examination (partial or complete written examination and/or operating test) specified for each

applicant.

Sincerely,

/RA/
