3. Generic Knowledge and Abilities 1 2 3 4 10 1 2 3 4 7 Categories 3 3 2 2 2 2 1 2 Note: 1. Ensure that at least two topics from every applicable K/A category are sampled within each tier of the RO and SRO-only outlines (i.e., except for one category in Tier 3 of the SRO-only outline, the Tier Totals in each K/A category shall not be less than two).

2. The point total for each group and tier in the proposed outline must match that specified in the table.

The final point total for each group and tier may deviate by +/-1 from that specified in the table based on NRC revisions.

The final RO exam must total 75 points and the SRO-only exam must total 25 points.

3. Systems/evolutions within each group are identified on the associated outline; systems or evolutions that do not apply at the facility should be deleted and justified; operationally important, site-specific systems/evolutions that are not included on the outline should be added. Refer to Section D.1.b of ES-401 for guidance regarding the elimination of inappropriate K/A statements.

4. Select topics from as many systems and evolutions as possible; sample every system or evolution in the group before selecting a second topic for any system or evolution.

5. Absent a plant-specific priority, only those K/As having an importance rating (IR) of 2.5 or higher shall be selected.

Use the RO and SRO ratings for the RO and SRO-only portions, respectively.

6. Select SRO topics for Tiers 1 and 2 from the shaded systems and K/A categories.

7.* The generic (G) K/As in Tiers 1 and 2 shall be selected from Section 2 of the K/A Catalog, but the topics must be relevant to the applicable evolution or system. Refer to Section D.1.b of ES-401 for the applicable K/As.

8. On the following pages, enter the K/A numbers, a brief description of each topic, the topics importance ratings (IRs) for the applicable license level, and the point totals (#) for each system and category. Enter the group and tier totals for each category in the table above; if fuel handling equipment is sampled in other than Category A2 or G* on the SRO-only exam, enter it on the left side of Column A2 for Tier 2, Group 2 (Note #1 does not apply). Use duplicate pages for RO and SRO-only exams.

9. For Tier 3, select topics from Section 2 of the K/A catalog, and enter the K/A numbers, descriptions, IRs, and point totals (#) on Form ES-401-3. Limit SRO selections to K/As that are linked to 10 CFR 55.43.

(A3) Use plant drawings to determine effect(s) of fuse R, N removal Equipment Control KA 2.2.15 (3.9) Ability to determine the expected plant configuration using design and configuration control documentation, such as drawings, line-ups, tag-outs, etc.

Radiation Control (A4) Determine Containment Water Level During Containment Flooding Emergency Procedures/Plan R, M KA 2.4.21 (4.0) Knowledge of the parameters and logic used to assess the status of safety functions, such as reactivity control, core cooling and heat removal, reactor coolant system integrity, containment conditions, radioactivity release control, etc.

NOTE: All items (5 total) are required for SROs. RO applicants require only 4 items unless they are retaking only the administrative topics, when all 5 are required.

Type Codes & Criteria: (C)ontrol room, (S)imulator, or Class(R)oom (D)irect from bank ( 3 for ROs; 4 for SROs & RO retakes)

(N)ew or (M)odified from bank ( 1)

(P)revious 2 exams ( 1; randomly selected)

NRC RO ADMIN JPMS A1 - This task will have the applicant calculate core decay heat using the charts from Attachments 1 and 6 of OSP-0041.

A2 - This task will have the applicant plot RPV level using a set of correction curves and then determine is adequate core cooling is assured.

A3 - The applicant will use plant drawings to determine the effects of removing a fuse to support a maintenance activity. Three effects are asked for: (1) the fail position of an exhaust filter damper; (2) any other components that are affected and the associated effect; and (3) identification of any alarms or indications that would be seen in the Control Room.

A4 - This task will have the applicant use given data and a procedure to determine the water level in the containment. This data will be further used to determine correlated water level in the RPV. The task is being performed because of a plant emergency that required entry into the Severe Accident Procedures (SAPs).

JPM A4 was re-selected due to validation comments about the original JPM not being an RO task in our plant.

NRC S1 - The applicant is directed to withdraw control rods to achieve criticality.

Before criticality is reached however, at the evaluators discretion, a CRD pump trip occurs. As an alternate path, the standby CRD pump is started but also trips. The operator will be required to place the mode switch in SHUTDOWN after receiving an accumulator fault associated with a withdrawn control rod and RPV pressure less than 600 psig.

S2 - This is a replacement JPM for Starting the Condenser Air Removal Pumps.

A post-maintenance run of RCIC is ongoing. Direction will be given to secure RCIC using the SOP. An alarm alerts the applicant of an abnormal condition in the RCIC exhaust drain system. Because of plant conditions, and direction in the Alarm Response Procedure, the applicant will restart the RCIC Gland Seal Compressor.

S3 - This is a replacement JPM for Performing a Pressure Set Adjustment.

There were too few steps in the previous JPM.

The plant is operating at power; this JPM is a surveillance to verify the full stroke operation of the Main Turbine Bypass Valves.

S4 - This is a replacement JPM for placing the Turbine on the turning gear.

The reactor is shutdown with two loops of shutdown cooling in operation.

This task will have the applicant secure the B loop of SDC. As an alternate path, a low voltage condition will cause elevated motor amps on the A RHR Pump; the applicant will have to use the ARP to reduce load on the pump by reducing flow.

S5 - This JPM was adjusted to allow the evolution at higher power so there would be less low power JPMs. (Containment purge instead of drywell purge.)

The plant had experienced high containment radiation levels and high volume purge, using Standby Gas Treatment, was placed in service and rad levels reduced. This task will have the applicant secure the containment purge using SOP-0059. As an alternate Path, a failure of the decay heat removal fan occurs, and the applicant will be required to re-start the standby gas treatment system with a suction from outside air using SOP-0043.

S6 - This JPM was adjusted to allow the evolution at higher power so there would be less low power JPMs.

The plant is performing a startup per GOP-0001. This task has the applicant start the Suppression Pool Cooling and Cleanup System using SOP-0140, Suppression Pool Cleanup and Alternate Decay Heat Removal section 5.2.

NRC C1 - This task will remove DC loads from the station batteries in order to reduce heat load in the control room. Without operator action, during a station blackout, Control Room temperatures can reach greater than 120F in less than 4 hours4.62963e-5 days 0.00111 hours 6.613757e-6 weeks 1.522e-6 months .

C2 - This task will have the applicant bypass a control rod to allow movement of the rod without position indication.

P1 - This task will have the applicant simulate venting the scram air header during an ATWS.

P2 - This task will have the applicant align the Standby Service Water System to the Fire Protection Water System Hose Racks. This would be performed provide water for firefighting via manual hose streams in the Control Building.

P3 - This task will have the applicant simulate performing a post-maintenance startup of the RPS Motor Generator Set B using SOP-0079, Reactor Protection System. An Alternate Path is taken when the MG fails to self-excite and the applicant must use guidance in the procedure to reset the over excitation trip to allow the motor generator to achieve proper voltage.
