Here are the changes requested upon the initial review. I will determine if more changes are required as I develop exam questions. The password is the same as before.
PVNGS Draft Outline Comments (completed 9/13/04)
Changes marked in red and line outs Operating Exam
- 1. The outline only shows one JPM as a repeat - Emergency/Abnormal Plant Evolutions (EAPE)
Item 3, A032 Loss of a Startup Channel During Refueling@ from the 2002 exam. However EAPE Item 1 (loss of inventory in the refuel pool) could possibly be similar to JPM B4 from the 2002 exam which dealt with loss of spent fuel pool level. I need to check this JPM once the exam comes in for review. This JPM is significantly different from the previous JPM given in 2002. (Completed)
Completed on 9/9/04, when Phil sent in completed written and operating outline. Discussed this with him verbally. (Completed)
Written Exam
- 3. Reviewed the licensee random and systematic process for selecting K/As and I followed this up with a phone conversation. I have no concerns with their selection process. Ensured that their selection process was random and systematic all the way to the actual K/A selection.
- 4. Under the heading K/A Topic(s), include a short written description of the K/A.
(Completed)
- 5. For Tier 2 - K/A 034A1.02 similar to K/A 002A1.11 -> both deal with inventory loss. Need to review questions for these two K/As to ensure not oversampling. 002A1.11 rejected and resampled within the same sytem. 034A1.02 rejected and resampled within same system.
(Also, this is the same as item 6.b below) (Completed)
- 6. Possible duplication between written and operating outlines as follows:
a) JPM EAPE #3 (K/A 032AA2.02), loss of startup channel during refueling and written outline Tier 1, K/A 032AK3.02, guidance contained in EOP for loss of source-range nuclear instrumentation. 032AK3.02 rejected and resampled within SR NI system.
(Completed) b) JPM EAPE #1 (K/A 025AA1.02), loss of SDC - loss of inventory in refuel pool and written outline K/A 034A1.02 similar to K/A 002A1.11 -> both deal with inventory loss. Recommend changing one of the written K/As or the JPM. Oversampling on dealing with loss of inventory. 002A1.11 rejected and resampled within the same sytem.(Completed)
(Changed 034 Fuel Handling Equipment from A1.02 to A1.01, load limit KA)
- 7.
Rejected a previous outline KA (Tier 2, 32002A1.11) as not being applicable to the LSRO Job Function and replaced with 32002K6.14. This was discussed via telecom with Mark Haire on 10/01/04.
- 8.
Rejected a previous outline KA (Tier 1, 42032AK3.02). There is no EOP/AOP guidance for loss of SR NI. Another KA was randomly sampled from within the same system.
(42032AK201). Reviewed with Mark Haire on site the week of 11/30/04.

- 2. The point total for each tier in the proposed outline must match that specified in the table.
The final point total for each tier may deviate by +/-1 from that specified in the table based on NRC revisions.
The final exam must total 40 points.

- 4. The shaded areas are not applicable to the category/tier.
5.* The generic (G) K/As in Tiers 1 and 2 shall be selected from Section 2 of the K/A Catalog, but the topics must be relevant to the applicable evolution or system.
- 6. If the applicants have not previously taken the GFE, Tier 3 shall include basic reactor theory, component, and thermodynamic topics that apply to fuel handling operations.
- 7. Systems/evolutions within each tier are identified on the associated outline. Enter the K/A numbers, a brief description of each topic, the topics importance ratings (IR) for the SRO license level, and the point totals (#)
for each system and category. Enter the tier totals for each category in the table above.
- 8. For Tier 3, select topics from Section 2 of the K/A catalog, and enter the K/A numbers, descriptions, importance ratings, and point totals (#) on Form ES-701-3.
- 9. Refer to ES-401, Attachment 2, for guidance regarding the elimination of inappropriate K/A statements. The facility licensees JTA for fuel handlers should be used as the basis for eliminating or adding testable topics.
