SUBJECT:
SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT, UNITS 1 AND 2 - NRC INITIAL OPERATOR
LICENSING EXAMINATION APPROVAL 05000498/2023301;
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 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. Joey Trudeau,
License Operation Training Supervisor. 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 August 9, 2023. The NRC staff will administer
the operating tests during the week of July 17, 2023. 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.
