SUBJECT:
PALO VERDE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNITS 1, 2,
AND 3 - NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION
APPROVAL 05000528/2018301; 05000529/2018301; 05000530/2018301
Dear Mr. Bement:
The purpose of this letter is to confirm the final arrangements for the upcoming operator
licensing examinations at your Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1, 2, and 3.
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 Mr. J. Rodgers,
Lead Examination Developer. Note that any examination waivers and applications denials have
been addressed in separate correspondence.
The NRC has approved the subject examinations and hereby authorizes you to administer the
written examination in accordance with NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination
Standards for Power Reactors," Revision 11, on April 13, 2018. The NRC staff will administer
the operating tests during the week of April 16, 2018. 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.
