SUBJECT: ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE, UNIT 2 - NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING

OPERATING TEST APPROVAL 05000368/2023301

Dear Joe Sullivan:

The purpose of this letter is to confirm the final arrangements for the upcoming operator

licensing examination at Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 2.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (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 Mr. Chris Miller, lead exam author. 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 with NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination

Standards for Power Reactors," Revision 12, on March 15, 2023. The NRC staff will administer

the operating tests during the week of March 20, 2023. 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.

J. Sullivan 2

Please contact Clyde Osterholtz, chief examiner, at 817-200-1269, 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 and/or operating test) specified for each applicant approved to

take the examination.

Sincerely,

Heather J. Gepford, Ph.D., Chief
