LICENSING EXAMINATION APPROVAL 05000424/2021301 AND

05000425/2021301

Dear Mr. Downs:

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

licensing operating examination at the 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 11 to NUREG-1021,

Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors, during the week of

November 22, 2021. The NRC staff will administer the operating tests during the week of

November 15, 2021. The list of the applicants approved to take the examination has been

provided to your office. The 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

404-997-4662.

Please contact the Chief Examiner, Mr. Daniel Bacon, at 404-997-4518 if you have questions or

identify any errors or changes in license level (reactor operator or senior reactor operator) or

type of examination (partial or complete written examination or operating test, or both) specified

for each applicant approved to take the examination.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Eugene F. Guthrie, Chief
