SUBJECT: EDWIN I. HATCH - OPERATOR LICENSING WRITTEN EXAMINATION

APPROVAL 05000321/2019301 AND 05000366/2019301

Dear Mr. Kelly:

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

licensing written examination at Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (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. Mark Verbeck, Operations Training Supervisor. Note that any

examination waivers have been addressed in separate correspondence.

The NRC has approved the subject written examination and hereby authorizes you to

administer the written examination in accordance with Revision 11 of NUREG-1021, Operator

Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors, on August 29, 2019. The NRC staff will

administer operating tests to these individuals, as applicable, during the weeks of August 12,

and August 19, 2019. This examination has undergone extensive review by my staff and

representatives responsible for 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

operators 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 your Chief Examiner, Mr. Bruno Caballero at (404) 997-4608 if you have any

questions or identify any errors or changes in license level (RO or SRO) or type of examination
