SUBJECT: SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2,

NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION APPROVAL

05000498/2017301 AND 05000499/2017301

Dear Mr. Powell:

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

licensing examinations at your South Texas Project Electric Generating Station, Units 1 and 2.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has approved the subject examinations, and

you may administer the written examination on October 9, 2017, in accordance with Revision 11

of NUREG-1021. The NRC staff will administer the operating tests during the week of

September 25, 2017. The list of applicants approved to take the examination has been

provided to G. Janak, Manager, Operations Training. The 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.

G. Powell 2

Please contact your Chief Examiner, Kelly Clayton, at 817-200-1216, 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 G. Gaddy, Chief
