SUBJECT: VOGTLE - OPERATOR LICENSING WRITTEN EXAMINATION APPROVAL 05000424/2017301 AND 05000425/2017301

Dear Mr. Stiles:

The purpose of this letter is to confirm the final arrangements for the upcoming operator licensing written examination at Vogtle Electric Generating Plant.

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 your office. The NRC staff will administer operating tests to these individuals, as applicable, the weeks of May 8 and May 15, 2017. Note that any examination waivers and application denials have been addressed in separate correspondence.

The NRC has approved the subject written examination and hereby authorizes you to administer the written examination in accordance with Revision 10 of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," the week of May 22, 2017.

This examination has undergone extensive review by my staff and representatives responsible for 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 operators 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) 997-4662.

Please contact your Chief Examiner, Mr. Michael Kennard, at (404) 997-4627 if you have any questions or identify any errors or changes in license level (RO or SRO) specified for each applicant on the list of approved applicants.
