UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION IV 1600 E LAMAR BLVD ARLINGTON, TX 76011-4511 September 23, 2015 Mr. Dennis L. Koehl President and CEO/CNO STP Nuclear Operating Company P.O. Box 289 Wadsworth, TX 77483

SUBJECT:

SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 - NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION APPROVAL 05000498/2015301; 05000499/2015301

Dear Mr. Koehl:

The purpose of this letter is to confirm the final arrangements for the upcoming operator licensing examinations at the South Texas Project Electric Generating Station.

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 S. Mason, SRO Instructor. Note that any examination waivers and application denials have been addressed in separate correspondence.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has approved the subject examinations and you may administer the written examinations in accordance with Revision 10, of NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors, on September 24, 2015. The NRC staff will administer the operating tests from September 28 through October 6, 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/

Vincent Gaddy, Chief Operations Branch Division of Reactor Safety
