2013 Clinton Initial Licensed Operator Examination Outline Review I. Operating Test A. RO Admin JPMs

1. JPM 513 - Perform a Locked High Radiation Area Entry Provide an explanation of how this JPM differs from JPM 410, Read a Survey Map, which was used on the previous two exams.

RESPONSE: The previous JPM simply required identification of information on the map. JPM 513 requires the examinee to determine requirements for entry based on information provided on the map.

B. SRO Admin JPMs

1. JPM 516 - Select Volunteers and Authorize an Emergency Exposurfor a Life-Saving Operation Provide an explanation of how this JPM differs from JPM 450, Authorize an Emergency Dose for a Life-Saving Operation, used on the last examination.

RESPONSE: Previous JPM authorize a single individual and included the required briefing. JPM 516 evaluates three individuals, one of whom cannot be authorized due to a previous emergency exposure.

2. JPM 514 - Determine Reporting Requirements per OP-AA-106-101 Provide an explanation of how this JPM differs from JPM 101, Prepare and Event Notification Worksheet, used on the 2009 SRO examination.

RESPONSE: Previous JPM was for ROs who had to complete a notification of an Emergency Classification. JPM 514 requires SROs to determine the reporting requirements (50.72) for ERDS failure.

C. Control Room Systems

1. JPM 414 - Parallel DG 1B with Offsite Power Replace of Modify - This would be the third consecutive exam in which this JPM has been used.

RESPONSE: JPM being replaced.

2. JPM 517 - Turbine On-Line Tests Provide and explanation of how this JPM was modified from JPM 415 used on the 2010 examination.

RESPONSE: JPM 517 is an alternate path version of JPM 415.

D. Simulator Scenarios

1. Scenario 1, Event 8 Why is the Terminate and Prevent Critical Task specific to HPCS only?

Should include all applicable EOP-3 Detail F systems.

RESPONSE: Will be changed to include all applicable systems.

2. Scenario 2, Event 8 Is there some sort of precursor, or indication for the loss of the RAT (e.g.,

a lightning strike or earthquake induced sudden pressure fault - see comment 4 below)?

RESPONSE: Event 8 now Event 9. There is no specific precursor other than failure occurs during automatic bus transfer with corresponding alarms to indicate reason for lockout.

3. Scenario 3, Event 7 Low discriminatory value event; Minimal manipulation involved in response to event.

RESPONSE: Event modified to require start of standby pump to replace affected pump.

4. Scenario 2/3 Add an additional Instrument/Component failure for either the BOP in Scenario 2 or the ATC in Scenario 3. This will give ROs 2 and 4 n+1 component failures (currently have only the minimum). Suggest adding the Scenario 4, Event 5 Earthquake to Scenario 2 (occurring simultaneously with the CD pump trip).

RESPONSE: I/C failure added to Scenario 2 for BOP.

5. Scenario 3, Event 9 If not already designed as such, recommend starting the steam break small enough to allow the crew to exercise the RCS Leakage Off-normal before being forced to initiate the SCRAM.

RESPONSE: Event modified to incorporate Off-Normal implementation.

II. Written Exam A. Rejected K/As

1. K/As should not be rejected solely because there is not a link in the K/A manual to 55.43(b).

RESPONSE: Discussed with facility author.

2. At first glance the number of rejected K/As appears excessive (one or more K/As rejected on 23/75 questions and 14/25 SRO questions). A more detailed review indicated that only 9 (5 RO and 4 SRO) questions had K/As rejected during the initial outline preparation. Explanations provided by facility were evaluated and found to be acceptable.

RESPONSE: Discussed with facility. No additional action required.
