SUBJECT:

COOPER NUCLEAR STATION - NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING

EXAMINATION APPROVAL 05000298/2022301

Dear Mr. Dent:

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

licensing examination 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 examination and hereby authorizes you to administer the

written examination in accordance with NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination

Standards for Power Reactors," Revision 12, on June 21, 2022. The NRC staff will administer

the operating tests during the week of June 13, 2022. 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

Please contact Mr. Thomas Farina, chief examiner, at 817-200-1117, 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,

Heather J. Gepford, Ph.D., Chief
