SUBJECT: DIABLO CANYON POWER PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 - NRC INITIAL

OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION APPROVAL 05000275/2024301;

05000323/2024301

Dear Ms. Gerfen:

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 applications submitted in connection

with this examination and separately provided a list of approved applicants to Mr. K. Smith, NRC

Exam Development Lead. 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 August 2, 2024. The NRC staff will administer

the operating tests during the weeks of July 15 and July 22, 2024. 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.

P. Gerfen 2

Please contact Mr. Kelly Clayton, chief examiner, at 817-200-1216, if you have any questions or

identify any errors 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

Operations Branch

Division of Operating Reactor Safety
