SUBJECT: BROWNS FERRY - OPERATOR LICENSING WRITTEN EXAMINATION

APPROVAL 05000259/2018301, 05000260/2018301 AND 05000296/2018301

Dear Mr. Vaughn:

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

licensing written examination at Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant.

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

and you may administer the written examination in accordance with Revision 11 to NUREG-

1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors, during the week of

July 23, 2018. The NRC staff will administer the operating tests during the week of July 16,

2018. The list of the applicants approved to take the examination has been provided to your

office. 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 (404) 997-4551.

Please contact your Chief Examiner, Mr. Daniel Bacon, at (404) 997-4518, if you have any

questions or identify any errors or changes in license level (reactor operator or senior reactor

operator) or type of examination (partial or complete written examination or operating test, or

both) specified for each applicant approved to take the examination.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Gerald J. McCoy, Chief
