SUBJECT:
GRAND GULF NUCLEAR STATION - NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION APPROVAL 05000416/2024302
Dear Mr. Kapellas:
The purpose of this letter is to confirm the final arrangements for the upcoming operator licensing examination at Grand Gulf Nuclear Station. Please note that this examination was initially scheduled as the stations second initial examination in calendar year 2024 and was denoted in correspondence with 2024302. The first examination that was completed earlier in calendar year 2024 was denoted with 2024301.
In November 2024, your staff requested, and the NRC approved, a change in the exam administration dates from those established in the corporate notification \
letter dated March 21, 2024. Because of this change, the examination dates shifted from calendar year 2024 to calendar year 2025; however, the exam report will continue to be denoted with its original identifier in the report title, i.e., 2024302.
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 Anthony Watson, Operations 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 February 3, 2025. The NRC staff will administer the operating tests during the week of January 27, 2025. 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.

Please contact Kelly Clayton, chief examiner, at 817-200-1216, if you have any questions or identify any errors or changes in the license level (RO or SRO) or type of examination (partial or complete written examination and/or operating test) specified for each applicant approved to take the examination.
