SUBJECT: SEQUOYAH - (RETAKE) OPERATOR LICENSING OPERATING TEST APPROVAL 05000327/2016302 AND 05000328/2016302 Dear Mr. Smith:

The purpose of this letter is to confirm the final arrangements for the upcoming operator

licensing retake operating test at Sequoyah Nuclear Plant.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has completed its review of the operator license application submitted in connection with this operating test and separately provided a list designating the approved applicant to your office. The NRC staff will begin administering the operating test to the individual during the week of July 25, 2016. Note that any examination

waivers and application denials have been addressed in separate correspondence.

The NRC has approved the subject operating test and hereby authorizes you to administer the operating test in accordance with Revision 10, of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," during the week of July 25, 2016.

This test 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 test meets the guidelines of NUREG-1021 for content, operational, and discrimination validity. By administering this test, 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

test is not appropriate for licensing operators at your facility, do not administer the test and

contact me at (404) 997-4662. Please contact your Chief Examiner, Mr. Daniel Bacon, at (404) 997-4518 if you have any questions or identify any errors or changes in license level (RO) specified for the applicant on

the list of approved applicants.

Sincerely, /RA by Gerald J. McCoy for/
