SUBJECT:
VOGTLE ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT UNITS 1&2 - OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION APPROVAL 05000424/2023301 AND 05000425/2023301
Dear Mr. Downs:
The purpose of this letter is to provide U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approval of the proposed written examination and operating test under Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 55.40(b)(4) and to confirm the final arrangements for the upcoming operator licensing examination at Vogtle Nuclear Generating Station Units 1&2.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has approved the subject examinations, and you may administer the written examination in accordance with Revision 12 to NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors, during the week of May 8, 2023. The NRC staff will administer the operating tests during the week of May 1, 2023.
The list of the applicants approved to take the examination has been provided to your office.
The examinations have 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 examinations meet the guidelines of NUREG-1021 for content, operational, and discrimination validity. By administering the written 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 these examinations are not appropriate for licensing operators at your facility, do not administer the examination and contact me at (404) 997-4703.
Please contact your Chief Examiner, Mr. Jason Bundy, at (404) 997-4557, if you have any questions or identify any errors or changes in license level (reactor operator or senior reactor
