UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION III 2443 WARRENVILLE RD. SUITE 210 LISLE, IL 60532-4352 August 29, 2016 Mr. Bryan C. Hanson Senior VP, Exelon Generation Company, LLC President and CNO, Exelon Nuclear 4300 Winfield Road Warrenville, IL 60555

SUBJECT:

OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION APPROVAL

Dear Mr. Hanson:

The purpose of this letter is to confirm the final arrangements for the upcoming operator licensing examinations at the Braidwood Station.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has completed its review of the operator license applications in connection with this examination and separately provided a list of approved applicants to Mr. Kostas Dovas, Training Director. Note that any examination waivers and application denials have been addressed in separate correspondence.

The 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, during the week of September 12, 2016. The NRC staff will administer the operating tests during the weeks of September 5 and 12, 2016.

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 630-829-9834.

Please contact your Chief Examiner, Mr. Raymond (Keith) Walton, at 630-829-9836, 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 written examination and/or operating test) specified for each applicant.

In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding, of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRCs Public Document
