SUBJECT: SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION

- NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION APPROVAL

05000498/2018301 AND 05000499/2018301

Dear Mr. Powell

The purpose of this letter is to confirm the final arrangements for the upcoming operator licensing examinations at South Texas Project Electric Generating Station, Units 1 and 2

. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has approved the subject examinations, and you may administer the written examination, in accordance

with Revision 11 of NUREG

-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," on November 7, 2018. The NRC staff will administer the operating tests during the week of October 2 2, 2018. The list of applicants approved to take the examination has been provided to Adrian Culver , Initial Training Supervisor

. 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 817

-200-1159.

G.T. Powell

2 Please contact your Chief Examiner, John Kirkla

nd , at 817-200-1 771, if you have any questions

or identify any errors or changes in the license level (reactor operator

or senior reactor operator) or type of examination (partial or

complete written examination

or operating test, or both) specified for each applicant

approved to take the examination

. Sincerely, /RA/ Vincent G. Gaddy, Chief Operations Branch
