Dear Sir:

On June 18, 2024, Reactor Operator and Senior Reactor Operator written examinations were administered at Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS). On June 24, 2024, the following post-examination documentation was transmitted electronically to your office as required by Section ES-4.4 8. 7 of the reference:

• the graded written examinations (i.e., each applicant's original answer and examination cover sheets) plus a clean copy of the applicant's answer sheet;

• the master written examinations and answer keys, annotated to indicate any changes made while administering and grading the examinations;

• any questions asked by the applicants and the answers given to the applicants during the written examination (ES-4.3);

• all examination administration or post-examination review comments made by the facility licensee and the applicants after the written examination and operating tests (ES-4.3);

• the seating chart for the written examination (ES-4.3);

• documentation (through a cover letter or other correspondence) of facility licensee management or supervisor concurrence;

• the results of any performance analysis for the written examination, with recommended substantive changes;

There were no changes required to the master examinations or answer keys during the administration or grading of the examination.

The completion of Form 1.3-1 is delayed due to issues associated with the collection of post-examination signatures; this form will be forwarded to you at a later date with your previous concurrence.

The graded written examination and written examination performance analysis contain personally identifiable information. As such, we request the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to withhold these documents from the public document room per 1 O CFR 2.390.

We also request the NRC to withhold the master examination and answer key from the public document room for two years from the date of the exam.

This letter contains no new regulatory commitments. Should you have any questions or require additional information, please contact me at (402) 825-5416 or Andrew Vaughn, FacilitY. ~presentative, at (402) 825-5345.
