SUBJECT: WATERFORD STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNIT 3 - NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING WRITTEN EXAMINATION APPROVAL

05000382/2009301

Dear Mr. Kowalewski:

The purpose of this letter is to confirm the final arrangements for the upcoming operator licensing written examination at Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3.

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 Horace J. Lewis, Operations Training Superintendent. 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 NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," Revision 9, Supplement 1, on October 14, 2009. 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 written 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, contact me at (817) 860-8159.

Please contact your Chief Examiner, Brian Larson, at (817) 860-8172, if you have any questions or identify any errors or changes in the license level (RO or SRO) or type of examination (partial or complete written examination) specified for each applicant.

Sincerely,

/RA/ Ryan E. Lantz, Chief Operations Branch Division of Reactor Safety
