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

EXAMINATION APPROVAL 05000313/2018301

Dear Mr. Anderson:

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

licensing examinations at your Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1.

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

you may administer the written examination on March 7, 2018, in accordance with Revision 11

of NUREG-1021. The NRC staff will administer the operating tests during the week of

February 26, 2018. The list of applicants approved to take the examination has been provided

to Randal Martin, Operations Training Superintendent. 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 817-200-1159.

R. Anderson 2

Please contact your Chief Examiner, John Kirkland, at 817-200-1771, 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/

Vincent G. Gaddy, Chief
