Dear Mr. Conway: The purpose of this letter is to confirm the final arrangements

for the upcoming operator licensing

examination

at Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant. The NRC has completed

its review of the operator license application

submitted

in connection

with this examination

and separately

provided the name of the approved applicant

to Ron Fortier, Exam Support Leader. Note that any examination

waivers and application

denials have been addressed

in separate correspondence.

The NRC has approved the subject examinations

in accordance

with NUREG-1021, "Operator

Licensing

Examination

Standards

for Power Reactors," Revision 9, Supplement

1. The NRC staff will administer

the operating

tests on November 15, 2011. 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-1 021 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, Steve Garchow, at (817) 276-4426, 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

andlor operating

test) specified

for each applicant.
