SUBJECT:
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE, UNIT 1 - NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING
OPERATING TEST APPROVAL AMENDED 05000313/2020301
Dear Mr. Dinelli:
The purpose of this letter is to amend the final arrangements for the upcoming operator
licensing examinations at Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1. Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the
originally approved dates could not be met.
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 and application denials
have been addressed in separate correspondence.
The NRC approved the subject examinations in March and authorized you to administer the
written examination in accordance with NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination
Standards for Power Reactors," Revision 11, on April 2, 2020. This portion of the examination
administration was completed. In consultation with the Initial Operator Licensing Branch of
Nuclear Reactor Regulation, the region, and your staff have been authorized to exceed the
30-day deviation between the written examination administration and the operating test
administration because of the pandemic. If conditions regarding the pandemic do not
deteriorate from the conditions assessed on Monday, May 18, 2020, the NRC staff will
administer the operating tests the week of June 1, 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.

Sincerely,
Gregory E. Werner
