SUBJECT: ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE, UNIT 2 - NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING

EXAMINATION APPROVAL 05000368/2019301

Dear Mr. Anderson:

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

licensing examinations at Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 2.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (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 Mr. Randal Martin, Operations Training Superintendent. Note that any

examination waivers and application denials have been addressed in separate correspondence.

The NRC has approved the subject examinations and hereby authorizes you to administer the

written examination in accordance with NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination

Standards for Power Reactors," Revision 11, on May 2, 2019. The NRC staff will administer the

operating tests during the week of April 22, 2019. 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.

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 approved to

take the examination.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Gregory E. Werner, Chief
