LICENSING EXAMINATION APPROVAL 05000275/2011302;

05000323/2011302

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.
