SUBJECT: FARLEY NUCLEAR PLANT - OPERATOR LICENSING WRITTEN

EXAMINATION APPROVAL 05000348/2019301 AND 05000364/2019301

Dear Mr. Austin:

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

licensing operating examination at the Farley 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

June 24, 2019. The NRC staff will administer the operating tests during the weeks of

June 10-21, 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) 997-4662.

Please contact the Chief Examiner, Mr. Michael K. Meeks, at (404) 997-4467 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/

Eugene F. Guthrie, Chief
