e£Sc r ES-201 Examination Security Agreement Form ES-201-3 Pre-Examination I acknowledge that I have acquired specialized knowledge about the NRC licensing examinations scheduled for the week(s) of-S/z-4zidzfzas of the date of my signature. I agree that I will not knowingly divulge any information about these examinations to any persons who have not been authorized by the NRC chief examiner. I understand that I am not to instruct, evaluate, or provide performance feedback to those applicants scheduled to be administered these licensing examinations from this date until completion of examination administration, except as specifically noted below and authorized by the NRC.Furthermore, I am aware of the physical security measures and requirements (as documented in the facility licensee's procedures) and understand that violation of the conditions of this agreement may result in cancellation of the examinations andlor an enforcement action against me or the facility licensee. I will immediately report to facility management or the NRC chief examiner any Indications or suggestions that examination security may have been compromise.
Post-Examination To the best of my knowledge, I did not divulge to any unauthorized persons any information concerning the NRC licensing examinations administered during the week(s) of From the date that I entered into this security agreement until the completion of examination administration, I did not instruct, evaluate, or provide performance feedback to those applicants who were administered these licensing examinations, except as specifically noted below and authorized by the NRC.

ES-301 Operating Test Quality Checklist Form ES-301-3 (R8, S)
Facility: Surry Power Station Date of Examination: Weeks of March 18 & 25, 2002 Operating Test Number: 1 Initials 1. GENERAL CRITERIA a
b c# The operating test conforms with the previously approved outline; changes are consistent with
"SB sampling requirements (e.g., 10 CFR 55.45, operational importance, safety function distribution). There is no day-to-day repetition between this and other operating tests to be administered Rj A
RSS during this examinatio The operating test shall not duplicate items from the applicants' audit test(s)(see Section D.1.a).
RLM RSS Overlap with the written examination and between operating test categories is within acceptable RLM RSB limit It appears that the operating test will differentiate between competent and less-than-competent R-J RSS applicants at the designated license leve. WALK-THROUGH (CATEGORY A & B) CRITERIA
- Each JPM includes the following, as applicable:
RSS initial conditions I Initiating cues
- references and tools, including associated procedures reasonable and validated time limits (average time allowed for completion) and specific designation if deemed to be time critical by the facility licensee
- specific performance criteria that include:
- detailed expected actions with exact criteria and nomenclature
- system response and other examiner cues
- statements describing important observations to be made by the applicant
- criteria for successful completion of the task
- Identification of critical steps and their associated performance standards
- restrictions on the sequence of steps, if applicable The prescripted questions in Category A are predominantly open reference and meet the JR"'
criteria in Attachment 1 of ES-30 Repetition from operating tests used during the previous licensing examination is within RL-ASS acceptable limits (30% for the walk-through) and do not compromise test integrit At least 20 percent of the JPMs on each test are new or significantly modifie "'-'4 3. SIMULATOR (CATEGORY C) CRITERIA The associated simulator operating tests (scenario sets) have been reviewed in accordance with

b*
c# The initial conditions are realistic, in that some equipment and/or instrumentation may be out RLM RSB of service, but it does not cue the operators into expected event.
The scenarios consist mostly of related event RLM RSB Each event description consists of RLM RSB the point in the scenario when it is to be Initiated the malfunction(s) that are entered to initiate the event the symptoms/cues that will be visible to the crew the expected operator actions (by shift position)
the event termination point (if applicable) No more than one non-mechanistic failure (e.g., pipe break) is incorporated into the scenario RLM RSB without a credible preceding incident such as a seismic even.
The events are valid with regard to physics and thermodynamic RLM RSS Sequencing and timing of events is reasonable, and allows the examination team to obtain RLM RSB complete evaluation results commensurate with the scenario objective.
If time compression techniques are used, the scenario summary clearly so indicate RLM RSB Operators have sufficient time to carry out expected activities without undue time constraint Cues are give.
The simulator modeling is not altere RLM RSB The scenarios have been validated. Any open simulator performance deficiencies have been RLM RSB evaluated to ensure that functional fidelity is maintained while running the planned scenario.
Every operator will be evaluated using at least one new or significantly modified scenario. All RLM RSB other scenarios have been altered in accordance with Section D.4 of ES-30.
All individual operator competencies can be evaluated, as verified using Form ES-301-6 RLM ASO (submit the form along with the simulator scenarios).

[Refer to Section D of ES-401 and Appendix B for additional information regarding each of the following concepts.] Enter the level of knowledge (LOK) of each question as either (F)undamental or (H)igher cognitive leve.
Enter the level of difficulty (LOD) of each question using a 1 - 5 (easy - difficult) rating scale (questions in the 2 -4 range are acceptable). Check the appropriate box if a psychometric flaw is identified:
The stem lacks sufficient focus to elicit the correct answer (e.g., unclear intent, more information is needed, or too much needless information).
The stem or distractors contain cues (i.e., clues, specific determiners, phrasing, length, etc).
The answer choices are a collection of unrelated true/false statement More than one distractor is not credibl One or more distractors is (are) partially correct (e.g., if the applicant can make unstated assumptions that are not contradicted by stem). Check the appropriate box if a job content error is identified:
The question is not linked to the job requirements Qi.e., the question has a valid K/A but, as written, is not operational in content).
The question requires the recall of knowledge that is too specific for the closed reference test mode (i.e., it is not required to be known from memory).
The question contains data with an unrealistic level of accuracy or inconsistent units (e.g., panel meter in percent with question in gallons).
The question requires reverse logic or application compared to the job requirement.
Check questions that are sampled for conformance with the approved K/A and those that are designated SRO-only (K/A and license level mismatches are unacceptable). Based on the reviewer's judgment, is the question as written (U)nacceptable (requiring repair or replacement), in need of (E)ditorial enhancement, or (S)atisfactory? At a minimum, explain any "U" ratings (e.g., how the Appendix B psychometric attributes are not being met)..
