SUBJECT:
BROWNS FERRY - OPERATOR LICENSING WRITTEN EXAMINATION
APPROVAL 05000259/2015302, 05000260/2015302 AND 05000296/2015302
Dear Mr. Bergeron:
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 will administer operating tests to these
individuals, as applicable, during the week of November 16, 2015. 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 10 of NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing
Examination Standards for Power Reactors, the week of November 23, 2015.
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) 997-4551.
