- b. There is no day-today repetition between this and other operating tests to be administered during this requirements (e.g., 10 CFR 55.45, operational importance, safety function distribution).

- c. The operating test shall not duplicate items from the appiicants'audit test(s). (see Section 0.1.a,)
- d. Overlap with the written examination and between different parts of the operating test is within
- e. it appears that the operating test wiii differentiate between competent and less-than-competent acceptable limits.
- 2. Walk-Through Criteria
- a. Each JPM includes the following. as applicable:
initial wnditions
. 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 operationally important specific performance criteria that inciude:
-detailed expected actions with exact criteria and nomenclature
-system response and other examiner cues
-statements describing important obsewations to be made by the applicant
-criteria for succassfui wmpietion of the task
-identification of critical steps and their associated performance standards
-restrictions on the sequence of steps, if applicable
- b. Ensure that any changes from the previously approved systems and administrative walk-through outlines (Forms ES-301-1 and 2) have not caused the test to deviate from any of the acceptance criteria (e.g.,
item distribution. bank use. reoetition from the last 2 NRC examinationsl SDeCified on those forms
- 3. Simulator Criteria The associated simulator operating tests (scenario sets) have been reviewed in accordance with Form ES-301-4 and a copy is attached.

- 2. The scenarios consist mostly of related events.
- 3. Each event desaiption consists of
- 1) the point in the scenario when it is to be initiated
- 2) the malfunction(s) that are entered to initiate the event
- 3) the symptomslcues that will be visible to the crew
- 4) the expected operator actions (by shift position)
- 5) the event termination point (if applicable) pJ7

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