SUBJECT: SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT - OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION

Dear Mr. Garner:

The purpose of this letter is to provide U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approval of

the proposed written examination under Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations

(10 CFR) 55.40(b)(4) and to confirm the final arrangements for the upcoming operator licensing

examination at the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant.

The NRC has approved the subject examinations, and you may administer the written

examination on April 3, 2023, in accordance with Revision 12 to NUREG-1021, Operator

Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors, issued September 2021. The NRC has

provided the list of applicants approved to take the examinations to your office. The

examinations have 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

examinations meet the guidelines of NUREG-1021 for content, operational, and discrimination

validity. By administering the written examination, you also agree that the examinations meet

NUREG-1021 guidelines and are appropriate for measuring the qualifications of licensed

operator applicants at your facility. If you determine that these examinations are not appropriate

for licensing operators at your facility, do not administer the written examination and contact me

at (404) 997-4703.

Please contact your NRC Chief Examiner, Mr. Joseph Viera, at (404) 997-4643, if you have

questions or identify any errors or changes in the license level (reactor operator or senior

reactor operator) or type of examination (partial or complete written examination or operating

test, or both) specified for each applicant approved to take the examinations.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Thomas A. Stephen, Chief

Operations Branch 1
