OPERATING TEST CHECKLISTS AND NRC COMMENTS FOR THE DRESDEN RETAKE EXAMINATION - JAN 2003

Submitted Operating Test with NRC Comments Contains the following:

Letter Exelon Cover letter transmitting the operating test ES-301-3 Operating Test Quality Checklist ES-301-4 Simulator Scenario Quality Checklist Three (3) dynamic simulator scenario guides (ES-D-1 & ES-D-2) There were no NRC comments made on the submitted examination. Only one minor change was made to one scenario based on simulator response during the validation of the scenario.

1. GENERAL CRITERIA Initials

a. The operating test conforms with the previously a b* c#

approved outline; changes are consistent with samplin requirements e.g., 10 CFR 55.45, /

operational importance. afet function distribution

b. There is no day-to-day repetition between this and other operating tests to be administered during. this examination. kI

.1 C. The operatinig test shall not duplicate items from the applicants' audit test(s)__(see Section D. 1.a). 41)Aw

d. Overlap with the written examination and between operating test categories is within accep limits.

e. It appears that the operating test will differentiate between competent and less-than-competent a plicants at the desi nated license level.

2. WALK-THROUGH (CATEGORY A & B) CRITERIA

a. Each JPM includes the following, as applicable:

• initial conditions

• 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 seguence of steps, if

b. aplicable The prescripted questions in Category A are predominantly open reference and meet the l**

._. criteria in Attachment I of ES-301.

C. Repetition from operating tests used during the acceptable limits (30% for the walk-through) andprevious licensing examination is within do not compromise test integrity.

d. At least 20 ercent of the JPMs on each test are new or significantly modified. I

3. SIMULATOR (CATEGORY C) CRITERIA

a. The associated simulator operating tests (scenario sets) have been reviewed in accordance with Form ES-301-4 and a copy is attached.
