SUBJECT:
COOPER NUCLEAR STATION - NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING
EXAMINATION APPROVAL 05000298/2020301
Dear Mr. Dent:
The purpose of this letter is to confirm the final arrangements for the upcoming operator
licensing examinations at Cooper Nuclear Station.
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. James
Florence, Superintendent, Simulator and Training Support. 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 August 4, 2020. The NRC staff will administer
the operating tests during the week of July 27, 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. Dent, Jr.

Please contact Thomas Farina, Chief Examiner, at 817-200-1117, if you have any questions or

complete written examination and/or operating test) specified for each applicant approved to
take the examination.
Sincerely,
Gregory E. Werner
