SUBJECT: ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE, UNIT 1- NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING

EXAMINATION APPROVAL 05000313/2016301

Dear Mr. Warren:

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

licensing examinations at the Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1.

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 Randal Martin,

Operations Training Superintendent. Note that any examination waivers and application denials

have been addressed in separate correspondence.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has approved the subject examinations and

you may administer the written examinations in accordance with Revision 10, of NUREG-1021,

Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors, on September 1, 2016. The

NRC staff will administer the operating tests during the week of August 22, 2016. 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.

Please contact your Chief Examiner, Thomas J. Farina, at (817) 200-1117, if you have any

questions or identify any errors or changes in the license level (RO or SRO) or type of

examination (partial or complete written examination and/or operating test) specified for each

applicant.

Sincerely,

/RA/
