ES-401D.1.b - Statement of Random KA Selection The Initial License Class examination outline for the January, 2009 Exam has been developed in accordance with the guidance in NUREG 1021 Rev 9. This version requires a random sampling of the Knowledge and Abilities Catalog, NUREG 1123, for written examination sample plan development.

Prior to development of the written examination outline, the K/A Catalog was reviewed and any K/As not relevant to Columbia Generating Station, a BWR-5 with a Mark II Containment, were eliminated.

To satisfy the systematic sampling requirement, the methodology in ES-401 Att.

1 was followed. The exception to Att. 1 was the use of a computerized random number generator instead of the suggested token process. Any K/A selected with an importance factor of less than 2.5 was rejected. All remaining randomly selected K/As that were rejected have been documented and justified on ES-401-4, which is included with this submittal.
