ES-301 Operating Test Quality Checklist Form ES-301-3 Facility: Oconee Date of Examination: 12/09/2013 Operating Test Number: 1 Initials
- 1. General Criteria a.
The operating test conforms with the previously approved outline; changes are consistent with sampling requirements (e.g., 10 CFR 55.45, operational importance, safety function distribution).
b.
There is no day-to-day repetition between this and other operating tests to be administered during this examination.
c.
The operating test shall not duplicate items from the applicants audit test(s). (see Section 0.1.a.)
d.
Overlap with the written examination and between different parts of the operating test is within acceptable limits.
e.
It appears that the operating test will differentiate between competent and less-than-competent applicants at the designated license level.
- 2. Walk-Through Criteria a.
Each JPM includes the following, as applicable:
initial conditions initiating cues references and tools, including associated 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
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.
- 3. Simulator Criteria The associated simulator operating tests (scenario sets) have been reviewed in accordance with Form ES-301-4 and a copy is attached.

1.
The initial conditions are realistic, in that some equipment and/or instrumentation may be out of service, but it does not cue the operators into expected events.
2.
The scenarios consist mostly of related events.
3.
Each event description consists of the point in the scenario when it is to be initiated the malfunction(s) that are entered to initiate the event the symptoms/cues that will be visible to the crew the expected operator actions (by shift position) the event termination point (if applicable) 4.
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.
5.
The events are valid with regard to physics and thermodynamics.
6.
Sequencing and timing of events is reasonable, and allows the examination team to obtain complete evaluation results commensurate with the scenario objectives.
7.
If time compression techniques are used, the scenario summary clearly so indicates.
Operators have sufficient time to carry out expected activities without undue time constraints.
Cues are given.
8.
The simulator modeling is not altered.
tY 9.
The scenarios have been validated. Pursuant to 10 CFR 55.46(d), any open simulator vL/
performance deficiencies or deviations from the referenced plant have been evaluated to ensure that functional fidelity is maintained while running the planned scenarios.
10.
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.
11.
All individual operator competencies can be evaluated, as verified using Form ES-301 -6 j 4./
(submit the form along with the simulator scenarios).
12.
Each applicant will be significantly involved in the minimum number of transients and events specified on Form ES-301 -5 (submit the form with the simulator scenarios).
13.
The level of difficulty is appropriate to support licensing decisions for each crew position.

Instructions:
1.
Check the applicant level and enter the operating test number and Form ES-D-1 event numbers for each event type; TS are not applicable for RO applicants. ROs must serve in both the at-the-controls (ATC) and balance-of-plant (BOP) positions; Instant SROs must serve in both the SRO and the ATC positions, including at least two instrument or component (I/C) malfunctions and one major transient, in the ATC position.
If an Instant SRO additionally serves in the BOP position, one I/C malfunction can be credited toward the two I/C malfunctions required for the ATC position.
2.
Reactivity manipulations may be conducted under normal or controlled abnormal conditions (refer to Section D.5.d) but must be significant per Section C.2.a of Appendix D.
(*) Reactivity and normal evolutions may be replaced with additional instrument or component malfunctions on a 1 -for-i basis.
3.
Whenever practical, both instrument and component malfunctions should be included; only those that require verifiable actions that provide insight to the applicants competence count toward the minimum requirements specified for the applicants license level in the right-hand columns.

Instructions
[Refer to Section D of ES-401 and Appendix B for additional information regarding each of the following concepts.]
1)Enter the level of knowledge (LOK) of each question as either (F)undamental or (H)igher cognitive level.
2)Enter the level of difficulty (LOD) of each question using a 1 B 5 (easy B difficult) rating scale (questions in the 2 B 4 range are acceptable).
3)Check the appropriate box if a psychometric flaw is identified:
4)The stem lacks sufficient focus to elicit the correct answer (e.g., unclear intent, more information is needed, or too much needless information).
5)The stem or distractors contain cues (i.e., clues, specific determiners, phrasing, length, etc).
6)The answer choices are a collection of unrelated true/false statements.
7)The distractors are not credible; single implausible distractors should be repaired, more than one is unacceptable.
8)One or more distractors is (are) partially correct (e.g., if the applicant can make unstated assumptions that are not contradicted by stem).
9)The question is not linked to the job requirements (i.e., the question has a valid K/A but, as written, is not operational in content).
10)The question requires the recall of knowledge that is too specific for the closed reference test mode (i.e., it is not required to be known from memory).
11)The question contains data with an unrealistic level of accuracy or inconsistent units (e.g., panel meter in percent with question in gallons).
12)The question requires reverse logic or application compared to the job requirements.
5.Check questions that are sampled for conformance with the approved K/A and those that are designated SRO-only (K/A and license level mismatches are unacceptable).
6.Based on the reviewers judgment, is the question as written (U)nsatisfactory (requiring repair or replacement), in need of (E)ditorial enhancement, or (S)atisfactory?
7.At a minimum, explain any U ratings (e.g., how the Appendix B psychometric attributes are not being met).

Not sure what the physics would be to continue to drive the stator temperature up if the pump was tripped at 260 °F. This might lead the applicants to ignore the lower temperature. Instead ask at what temperature should the pump be tripped and what actions should be entered.

The second question implies that the correct answer for the first question is off.
Also, since there is no information given, what in the stem would let the applicant know that the plant is not aligned via backcharge of the main transformer? You state that this is one of the normal configurations.
This does not appear to be SRO only. The first part is plant knowledge and the ROs would have a general idea of what is contained in the EOP tabs.
