SUBJECT:
WOLF CREEK - NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION
APPROVAL 05000482/2025301
Dear Cleve Reasoner:
The purpose of this letter is to confirm the final arrangements for the upcoming operator
licensing examination at Wolf Creek.
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 Andy Servaes,
Initial Exam 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 13, 2025. The NRC staff will administer
the operating tests during the week of August 18, 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.
