SUBJECT:
PALO VERDE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNITS 1, 2, AND 3 - NRC
INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION APPROVAL
05000528/2020301; 05000529/2020301; 05000530/2020301
Dear Mrs. Lacal:
The purpose of this letter is to confirm the final arrangements for the upcoming operator
licensing examinations at Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1, 2, and 3.
The 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. B. Garrettson, Lead Examination Developer. 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 December 10, 2020. The NRC staff will
administer the operating tests during the week of November 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.
