SUBJECT: SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT - NRC OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION

APPROVAL 05000327/2017301 AND 05000328/2017301

Dear Mr. Garner:

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

licensing written examination at Sequoyah Nuclear Plant (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 to NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," during the week of December 18, 2017. The NRC staff will administer the operating tests during the weeks of December 4 and December 11, 2017. The list of the applicants approved to take the examination has been provided to your office. 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 (404) 997-4551.

Please contact the Chief Examiner, Mr. Newton Lacy, at (404) 997-4571 if you have questions or identify any errors or changes in 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/ Gerald J. McCoy, Chief
