UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION III 2443 WARRENVILLE RD. SUITE 210 LISLE, IL 60532-4352 November 8, 2016 Mr. Peter A. Gardner Site Vice President Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Northern States Power Company, Minnesota 2807 West County Road 75 Monticello, MN 55362-9637

SUBJECT:

OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION APPROVAL

Dear Mr. Gardner:

The purpose of this letter is to confirm the final arrangements for the upcoming operator licensing examinations at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant.

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. Thomas Shortell, Training Manager. Note that any examination waivers and application denials have been addressed in separate correspondence.

The NRC will administer the written examinations and operating tests in accordance with Revision 10 of NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors, during the week of November 14, 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. If you determine that this examination is not appropriate for licensing operators at your facility, please contact me at 630-829-9834.

Please contact your Chief Examiner, Mr. David Reeser, at 630-829-9859, 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.

P. Gardner In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records System (PARS) component of NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
