SUBJECT: ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE, UNIT 1 - NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING

EXAMINATION APPROVAL 05000313/2020301

Dear Mr. Dinelli:

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

licensing examinations at Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1.

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. R. Martin,

Operations Training Superintendent. Note that any examination waivers 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 8, 2020. The NRC staff will administer the

operating tests during the week of March 30, 2020. 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.

J. Dinelli 2

Please contact K. Clayton, chief examiner, at 817-200-1216, if you have any questions or

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

complete written examination and/or operating test) specified for each applicant approved to

take the examination.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Gregory E. Werner, Chief
