SUBJECT: BRUNSWICK STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT - OPERATOR LICENSING

EXAMINATION APPROVAL 05000325/2019301 AND 05000324/2019301

Dear Mr. Giannone:

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

licensing operating examination at the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant. In a letter to you dated

October 4, 2018 (ML18282A212), we documented the postponement of our onsite preparatory

visit, operating test, and written examination administration due to Hurricane Florence.

Therefore, the new exam report number is 05000325/2019301 and 05000324/2019301.

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

January 21, 2019. The NRC staff will administer the operating tests during the weeks of

January 7 and January 14, 2019. 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 the Chief Examiner, Mr. Bruno L. Caballero, at 404-997-4608 if you have

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/
