FERMI ES-201 Examination Security Agreement Form ES-201-3

1.

Pre-Examination 1 /V I acknowledge that I have acquired specialized knowledge about the NRC licensing examinations scheduled for the week(s) of _

as 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 and/or 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 compromised.

2.

Post-Examination To the best of my knowled~ge I did not divulge to any unauthorized persons any information concerning the NRC licensing examinations administered during the week(s) of J.

. 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 uality Checklist Form ES-8, Si)

Facility Fermi 2 Date of Examination 03-10-03 Operating Test Number:2003-301

1. GENERAL CRITERIA Initials l

a.

The operating test conforms with the previously approved outline; changes are consistent with E

sampling requirements (e.g., 10 CFR 55.45, operational importance, safety function distribution).

t 6

e

b.

There is no day-to-day repetition between this and other operating tests to be administered 7

during this examination.

I

c.

The operating test shall not duplicate items from the applicants' audit test(s)(see Section D.1.a).

4 4

d.

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

e.

It appears that the operating test will differentiate between competent and less-than-competent applicants at the designated 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 sequence of steps, if applicable

b.

The prescripted questions in Category A are predominantly open reference and meet the criteria IA in Attachment 1 of ES-301.

A/

c.

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

I, A___

d.

At least 20 percent of the JPMs on each test are new or significantly modified.

3.OV SIULAT C

3. SIMULATOR (CATEGORY C) CRITERIA I

1.

The initial conditions are realistic, in that some equipment and/or instrumentation may be out of service, but it does not cue the operators into expected events.

ad o

2.

The scenarios consist mostly of related events.

3.

Each event description consists of 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)

4.

No more than one non-mechanistic failure (e.g., pipe break) is incorporated into the scenario without a credible preceding incident such as a seismic event.

5.

The events are valid with regard to physics and thermodynamics.;

6.

Sequencing and timing of events is reasonable, and allows the examination team to obtain complete evaluation results commensurate with the scenario obiectives.

V/1 >__.

7.

If time compression techniques are used, the scenario summary clearly so indicates. Operators N

I have sufficient time to carry out expected activities without undue time constraints. Cues are A

IVA given.

8.

The simulator modeling is not altered.

9.

The scenarios have been validated. Any open simulator performance deficiencies have been evaluated to ensure that functional fidelity is maintained while running the planned scenarios.
