Operating Test Comments Administrative JPMs:

RO Admin JPM C01: Volume Weighted Drywell Average Air Temperature.

1. Why is only TR-4383B Pen 3 (B) considered critical? All pens are critical Steps - Fixed the steps involved

2. Do you need to have an error tolerance if applicants round off? YES - Fixed the step

3. Can this be done in a classroom? (Simulator not needed?) Could be done with pictures, if needed.

RO Admin JPM C02: Verification of License Requirements.

1. There are no listed critical steps in this JPM. Specify critical steps- Fixed the step

2. Shouldnt there be a choice of 4 ROs not 3 ROs? (Compare to written question that is required to have one correct answer and 3 distractors!) No, if they miss any critical step - UNSAT (OK as is)

3. What is the generic blank box on page 10 for? DELETE- Deleted RO Admin JPM EC: RBCCW Pump tag out.

1. Page 9, is this what the applicants would use for an actual tagout? Or would they use a form from an operations approved procedure?

RO Admin JPM RC: Determine Personnel Availability to Perform Radiation Area Task.

1. Delete first bullet from Initiating Cues so it looks like a statement followed by 3 bulleted items. Fixed the cue SRO Admin JPM C02: Verification of License Requirements.

1. Shouldnt there be a choice of 4 SROs not 3 SROs? (Compare to written question that is required to have one correct answer and 3 distractors!) No, if they miss any critical step - UNSAT (OK as is)

2. Do you need to shade the critical step box, it appears to be the convention. Fixed the step SRO Admin JPM EC: Clearance Review.

1. Do the applicants review an actual tagout form from an operations approved procedure?

Yes (OK as is)

2. On page 3, there are URL links. These links must be removed prior to our submittal to ADAMS. Suggest removing URL links. Removed links SRO Admin JPM EP: Emergency Classification/Reclassification.

1. Second box, page 7, Need to change Evaluator Cue to, Provide applicant with Form NG165K AFTER (IF) applicant recognizes need for dose extension. Prompt applicant to complete Sections 1 & 2. Fixed the step

2. This same JPM was run during 2007 exam. ES-301-1 does not show P in Type Code column. Correct the form Fixed the form

In-Plant JPM P1: Manually Initiate Cable Spread Room CO2.

1. Second box page 11, why is it necessary to record the time of completion for this step?

See page 13, first box Validated that the time requirement was needed

2. Second box page 12, what is critical about this step? Verify steps arent Critical Fixed the step

3. Does is it really take 40 minutes to complete this JPM? OV - Time was validated

4. This same JPM was run during the 2009 exam. ES 301-1 does not show P in Type Code column. Correct the form - Fixed the form In-Plant JPM P2: Startup RPS MG Set.

1. Why is the first box of the JPM a critical step? Verify steps arent Critical Fixed the step

2. Middle box on page 10, step appears to be incomplete. Since light is supposed to be OFF and UF Light is ON, then ADD STEP Fixed the step

3. If the previous box UF Light is made to be ON, then shouldnt the last box on page 10 be critical? Critical Step Fixed the step

4. This is barely acceptable as alternate path JPM! NEED MORE SPECIFICS - Why is this barely acceptable? Validated that the acceptability of the JPM In-Plant JPM P3: Maximize CRD Injection.

1. There is no listed completion time for this JPM! OV Time was validated to be 40 minutes.

2. Turnover sheet: The initial conditions that I read may not exactly match the simulator setup This is an in-plant JPM, there is no simulator setup involved! Removed the statement on the turnover sheet.

3. Top box, page 7, why is this step critical if it is a verification step of an already open valve? Verify steps arent Critical Fixed the step

4. Top box, page 8, why is this step critical if it is a verification step of an already open valve? Verify steps arent Critical Fixed the step

5. Middle and bottom boxes, page 9, why are these steps critical if it is a verification step?

6. Top box, page 10, why is this a critical step? Verify steps arent Critical Fixed the steps

7. Bottom box page 10, and bottom box page 11, I assume there are two air pressure gages so to match automatic and manual air pressure signals? Need to add how this is done - Validated that the step was sufficient.

Control Room JPM S-1: Reset Scoop Tube Lockup.

1. This same JPM was run during the 2007 exam. ES 301-1 does not show P in Type Code column. Correct the form - The system and the JPM were changed since 2007.

Control Room JPM S-3:Establish Leak Path to Main Condenser.

1. Performance Step 5, page 7, delete second is from first sentence. Typo corrected Control Room JPM S-4: Control HPCI in Pressure Control Mode.

1. Minimal actions for alternate path JPM! Where does the Alt Path start? Verified OK at OV (ALT Path start point noted)

Control Room JPM S-5: Place H2O2 Monitors in Service.

1. Ensure that this JPM is not performed as part of a scenario! OV Verified OK at OV

Control Room JPM S-6: Synchronize the Main Generator.

1. Step 35, typo!! Need to change one of the H Breakers to I Breaker (two cases)!

Where does the Alt Path start? Verified OK at OV (ALT Path start point noted)

Control Room JPM S-7: Downscale/Upscale Trip of ARM.

1. When testing upscale trip, the critical step is to check trip setpoint with Appendix 1.

When testing downscale trip, checking setpoint with Appendix 1 is NOT a critical step.

WHY the difference? I would think that testing the upscale and downscale trips would have the same task as critical!! Verified OK at OV (Critical Steps fixed)

General Notes:

• None of the scenarios has any instrument failures. They are all component failures!

Verified OK at OV (OK as is)

• Of the three scenarios that will be run on the applicants, there is only one electrical failure! (a trip of the RPS EPA Breaker!). No bus or breaker failures.

• There is only one scenario (4) that is a low power (60% Power) scenario. Presently that is scheduled as the spare scenario. Verified OK at OV (scenario 4 was used as part of the examination, not as a spare)

• I was unable to check the scenarios attributes to the target attributes since there was no ES-301-4 sheet available. Verified OK at OV (OK as is)

• I ran out of time and could not finish review of Scenario #4. SPARE - OV Verified OK at OV (scenario 4 was used as part of the examination, not as a spare)

• I suggest that the highlighted comments be reviewed by you then discussed with the licensee since these items may need more time to address and should be addressed by the licensee before site exam validation. All comments addressed at OV Scenario 1: OV - Not used for the exam (returned to the licensee)

Scenario 2: OV - Not used for the exam (returned to the licensee)

Scenario 3: OV - Verified at OV (OK as validated)

Event 3, D Well Water Pump Trip.

Wasnt this pump restarted as part of JPM S-8, Install EOP Defeat 4 with a Group 7 Isolation? We shouldnt duplicate. - Verified at OV (OK as validated)
