The operating test shall not duplicate items from the applicants' audit test(s)(see Section D.l.a).

Each JPM includes the following, as applicable:

initial conditions inltiating cues 0

references and tools, including assoclated 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 include:

detailed expected actions with exact criteria and nomenclature system response and other examiner cues statements describing important observations to be made by the applicant criteria for successful completion of the task identification of critical steps and their associated performance standards restrictions on the sequence of steps, if applicable R

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, repetition from the last 2 NRC examinations) specified on those forms and Form ES-201-2.

The initial conditions are realistic, in that some equipment and/or inStNmentation may be out of service, but it does not cue the operators into expected events.

The scenarios consist mostly of related events.

7.

No more than one non-mechanistic failure (e.g., pipe break) is incorporated into the scenario without a credible preceding Incident such as a seismic event.

The events are valid with regard to physics and thermodynamics.

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

If time compression techniques are used, the scenario summary clearly so indicates.

Operators have sufficient time to cany out expected activities without undue time constraints.

4-Cues are given.

Every operator will be evaluated using at least one new or significantly modified scenario.

All other scenarios have been altered in accordance with Section D.5 of ES-301.

All individual operator competencies can be evaluated, as verified using Form ES-301-6 (submit the form along with the simulator scenarios).

Each applicant will be significantly involved in the minimum number of transients and events speclfied on Form ES-301-5 (submit the form with the simulator scenarios).
