d. Assess whether the justifications for deselected or rejected WA statements are appropriate.

a. Using Form ES-301-5, verify that the proposed scenario sets cover the required number of normal evolutions, instrument and component failures, and major transients.

b. Assess whether there are enough scenario sets (and spares) to test the projected number and mix of applicants in accordance with the expected crew composition and rotation schedule without compromising exam integrity; ensure each applicant can be tested using at least one new or significantly modified scenario, that no scenarios are duplicated from the applicants' audit test@)",

b. Verify that:

(1) the tasks are distributed among the safety function groupings as specified in ES-301, (2) one task is conducted in a low-power or shutdown condition, (3) 40% of the tasks require the applicant to implement an alternate path procedure, (4) one in-plant task tests the applicant's response to an emergency or abnormal condition, and

{5) the in-plant walk-through requires the applicant to enter the RCA.

c. Verify that the required administrative topics are covered, with emphasis on performance-based activities.

d. Determine if there are enough different outlines to test the projected number and mix of applicants and ensure that no items are duplicated on successive days.
