Dear Mr. Hanson:
On March 2, 2017, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed the initial operator licensing reexamination process for license re-applicants employed at your Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3. The enclosed report documents the results of those examinations. An exit meeting was conducted on March 2, 2017, between Mr. Thomas Dean, other members of your staff, and Mr. Jesse Seymour, Chief Operator Licensing Examiner, to review observations noted during the examination process as well as the proposed final grading of the operating reexamination for the license re-applicants.
The NRC examiner administered an initial license reexamination operating test during the week of February 27, 2017. Two Senior Reactor Operator re-applicants were administered license reexaminations. The results of the reexaminations were finalized on March 6, 2017.
Two applicants passed all sections of their respective reexaminations; two were issued senior operator licenses.
The examination and other related examination documentation will be withheld from public disclosure for 24 months per your request. This letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be made available for public inspection and copying at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document Room in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.
