SUBJECT: SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 -
NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION APPROVAL
05000498/2022301; 05000499/2022301
Dear Mr. Powell:
The purpose of this letter is to confirm the final arrangements for the upcoming operator
licensing examination at South Texas Project, Units 1 and 2.
The U.S. 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 Bobby Simpson, Training Manager. 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 September 08, 2022. The NRC staff will
administer the operating tests during the week of August 22, 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.
