SUBJECT:
HOPE CREEK GENERATING STATION - OPERATOR LICENSING OPERATING TEST APPROVAL
Dear Charles McFeaters:
The purpose of this letter is to provide U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approval of the proposed 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 operating test at the Hope Creek Generating Station.
The NRC has approved the subject operating test in accordance with Revision 12 to NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors, issued September 2021. The NRC staff will administer the operating test during the week of August 11, 2025. The NRC has provided the list of the applicants approved to take the examination to Joe Custodio, Senior Director Nuclear Training. The 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 (610) 337-6916.

Please contact your NRC Chief Examiner, Joseph DeMarshall, at (610) 337-5134, 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 operating test) specified for each applicant approved to take the examinations.
