On April 17, 2019, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2019-02, "Preparation and Scheduling of Operator Licensing Examinations."

RIS 2019-02 requests that licensees voluntarily submit projections of their site-specific operator licensing examination schedules as well as the estimated number of applicants planning to take operator licensing and generic fundamental examinations for years 2021-2024.

Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC) hereby provides as enclosures to this letter the requested information on NRC form 536 for Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant- Units 1 and 2, Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant- Units 1 and 2, Vogtle Electric Generating Plant- Units 1 and 2, and Vogtle Electric Generating Plant- Units 3 and 4. The estimates provided represent SNC's current understanding, but are subject to possible change in the future. These enclosures supersede previous, similar RIS responses.

This letter contains no NRC commitments. If you have any questions, please contact Justin Wheat at 205.992.5998.
