SUBJECT: SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION,

UNITS 1 AND 2 - NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION

APPROVAL 05000498/2020301; 05000499/2020301

Dear Mr. Powell:

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

licensing examinations at South Texas Project Electric Generating Station, Units 1 and 2.

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. S. Mason,

Regulatory Examination Author. Note that any examination waivers and application denials

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 Wednesday July 29, 2020. The NRC staff will

administer the operating tests during the weeks of July 13 and July 20, 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.

G. Powell 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,

Gregory E. Werner
