Note:

1.

Ensure that at least two topics from every applicable KIA category are sampled within each tier ofthe RO and

SRO-only outlines (i.e., except for one category in Tier 3 ofthe SRO-only outline, the "Tier Totals" in each KIA

category shall not be less than two).

2.

The point total for each group and tier in the proposed outline must match that specified in the table.

The final

point total for each group and tier may deviate by +/-l from that specified in the table based on NRC revisions.

The final RO exam must total 75 points and the SRO-only exam must total 25 points.

3.

Systems/evolutions within each group are identified on the associated outline; systems or evolutions that do not

apply at the facility should be deleted and justified; operationally important, site-specific systems that are not

included on the outline should be added. Refer to section D.l.b ofES-401, for guidance regarding elimination of

inappropriate KIA statements.

4.

Select topics from as many systems and evolutions as possible; sample every system or evolution in the group

before selecting a second topic for any system or evolution.

5.

Absent a plant specific priority, only those KAs having an importance rating (IR) of2.5 or higher shall be

selected. Use the RO and SRO ratings for the RO and SRO-only portions, respectively.

L

6.

Select SRO topics for Tiers I and 2 from the shaded systems and KIA categories.

7.*

The generic (G) KIAs in Tiers I and 2 shall be selected from Section 2 ofthe KIA Catalog, but the topics must be

relevant to the applicable evolution or system. Refer to Section D.I .b ofES-401 for the applicable KIA's

8.

On the following pages, enter the KIA numbers, a briefdescription ofeach topic, the topics' importance ratings

(IR) for the applicable license level, and the point totals (#) for each system and category. Enter the group and

tier totals for each category in the table above. Iffuel handling equipment is sampled in other than Category A2 or

G* on the SRO-only exam, enter it on the left side ofColumn A2 for Tier 2, Group 2 (Note #1 does not apply).

Use duplicate pages for RO and SRO-only exams.

9.

For Tier 3, select topics from Section 2 ofthe KIA Catalog, and enter the KIA numbers, descriptions, IRs, and

point totals (#) on Form ES-401-3. Limit SRO selections to KlAs that are linked to IOCFR55.43
