II. Discussion

    NUREG-1122 and NUREG-1123 provide the basis for development of 
content valid examinations used for licensing operators at nuclear 
power plants under the Commission's regulations contained in part 55 of 
title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ``Operator 
Licenses.'' The examinations developed using NUREG-1122 and NUREG-1123, 
along with NUREG-1021, ``Operator Licensing Examination Standards for 
Power Reactors,'' will sample the topics listed in 10 CFR part 55.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 10th day of April, 2017.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Nancy Salgado,
Chief, Operator Licensing Branch, Division of Inspection and Regional 
Support, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
