WC INITIAL EXAM OUTLINE COMMENTS Administrative JPMs

$ On SRO admin outline, APerform an RCA frisk@ appears to be too simple. Licensee agrees, will change JPM.

$ What are the backgrounds of the admin outline procedures, i.e., new, bank, modified?

Licensee will add the backgrounds to the outline.

$ How is the APerform a Surveillance Test AFD@ for the ROs an admin JPM? Licensee will provide information that the applicant can use to perform the surveillance test.

$ On the RO admin test, consider providing the applicant with multiple RWPs so that he has to select the correct RWP. The licensee will require the applicant to identfy the correct RWP.

$ Will the RO equipment control JPM data sheet have errors or out-of-spec readings on it?

The equipment control data sheet will have errors/out-of-spec readings that the applicant will be required to identify.

$ SROs typically do not perform surveillance tests. Therefore the SRO admin for KA 2.1.33 should require the SRO to review the completed surveillance test and identify any discrepancies, and determine if the surveillance was acceptable. Licensee agrees to change the JPM to be a review of surveillance data by the SRO.

Walkthrough and Simulator JPMs

$ Identify which in-plant JPMs meet the requirement for the applicant=s response to an emergency or abnormal conditions. It is JPM P3.

Scenarios

$ Be sure to include a time line on the scenarios.

$ Add in parentheses which operator (RO, BOP, SRO) gets credit for the malfunctions in the event type column of the outline.

$ The back-up scenario appears to be very challenging. Consider switching this to one of the scenarios to be performed. Licensee will make this one of the performed scenarios.

$ The requirement of ES-301 is that if you do not want to use a reactivity or normal evolution, they can be substituted on a one-on-one basis with additional Is and Cs. Since you are not using the reactivity or normal evolutions, there should be a minimum of 6 I and C evolutions. You don=t meet this requirement for ROs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 in scenarios 1, 2, and 3. The licensee agrees and will add necessary events to the scenarios.

Written Exam

$ Be sure that the reference questions contain the K/A number and description.

$ On rejected K/A list, K/A 41029, 2116, it is not clear why they could not develop a question on this KA. The licensee rejected this KA because it was very difficult to develop meaningful distractors for the communications system during an ATWS condition.

After further discussion, we agreed with the licensee that this is a valid rejection.

$ Tier 2 Group 1, you selected more than two from a given system/evolution (e.g., for systems 003 and 006. This appears to be contrary to Note 3 on ES-401-2. The licensee agrees and will make necessary changes to the outlines.

$ Ensure that questions developed for K/As that refer to procedures (e.g., 026 Containment Spray on Pg 7) cover the use of the procedures. The licensee acknowledged the examiner=s comment.

General

$ List or explain where the plant specific priorities (PRA and IPE insights) are covered in the exam. The licensee will develop a table that will show what the PRA and IPE insights.
