1. GENERAL CRITERIA
I.
The operating test conforms with the previously approved outline: changes are consistent with
sampling requirements (e.q., 10 CFR 55.45. operational importance, safety function distribution).
There is no day-today repetition between this and other operating tests to be administered
during this examination.
The operatinq test shall not duplicate items from the applicants' audit test(s)(see Section D.1.a).
Overlap with the written examination and between operating test categories is within acceptable
limits.
lt appears that the operating test will differentiate between competent and less-thanzompetent
applicants at the designated license level.
1.
j.
?.
2. WALK-THROUGH (CATEGORY A & 6) CRITERIA
3.
Each JPM includes the following, as applicable:
. initial conditions
. initiating cues
, references and toois, including associated procedures
. reasonable and validated time limits [average time allowed for compietion) and specific
. specific performance criteria that include:
designation if deemed to be time critical by the facility licensee
. 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 in Attachment 1 of ES-301.
Repetition from operating tests used during the previous licensing examination IS within
acceptable limits (30% for the walk-throuqh) and do not compromise test inteqritv.
At least 20 percent of the JPMs on each test are new or siqnificantly modified.

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 sympmmslcues 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 nokmechanistic failure (e.g., p$e break) is incorporated into the scenario
without a credible precedinq incident such as a Se!sm!c event.
The events are valid with reqard to physics and thermodynamics.
Sequencing and timing of events is reasonable, and allows the examination team to obtain
complete evaluation results commensurate with the scenario obiectlves.
