SUBJECT:
OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION - OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION
APPROVAL 05000269/2024301, 05000270/2024301, AND 05000287/2024301
Dear Steven Snider:
The purpose of this letter is to provide U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approval of
the proposed written examination and operating test 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 Oconee Nuclear Station.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has approved the subject examinations,
and you may administer the written examination in accordance with Revision 12 to NUREG-
1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors, during the week of
August 19, 2024. The NRC staff will administer the operating tests during the week of August
12, 2024. The list of the applicants approved to take the examination has been provided 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 it
meets NUREG-1021 guidelines and is 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 examination and contact me at
(404) 997-4703.
Please contact your Chief Examiner, Mr. Jason Bundy, at (404) 997-4557, if you have any
questions or identify any errors or changes in license level (reactor operator or senior reactor
