SUBJECT:
GRAND GULF NUCLEAR STATION - NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION APPROVAL 05000416/2025301
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.
The NRC has completed its review of the operator license applications submitted in connection with this examination and separately provided information on the approved applicant to Ms.
Angela Blair, 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 operating test in accordance with NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," Revision 12, on September 9, 2025. The written examination has been excused. 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.
