Item Changed Reason for Change CR-b Added alternate path designation Overlooked that it is an alternate path JPM on original outline.

CR-e Changed event from Switch Running The originally chosen JPM (a newly developed SX Pumps (with failure to develop one) did not have clear procedural guidance, pressure) to Respond to 1A SX Pump and could have resulted in 4 different operator Trip (Standby Pump Trips). responses.

CR-h Removed alternate path designation The response is contained in the BAR with little decision making required.

RA-c Changed from bank JPM to new JPM RM-11 system was changed to a Windows based Radiation Monitoring System and the actions are different.

Scenario Swapped events # 2 & 3 Ensures control rod control is in AUTO before N16-1 instrument failure that affects rod control Scenario Changed Event 2 from TS evaluation CR-c is operation of a SI pump and the N16-4 of SI pump failed surveillance to AF relevant TS is entered when a valve is closed pump failed surveillance in the surveillance. This could lead the students to the answer on scenario event.

Scenario Changed event 6 from I to C Error on original outline. This is a component 16-5 failure, not an instrument failure.

Question Rejected K/A and replaced question K/A is at a General Employee level, not

1. 72 suitable for licensed operator exam discrimination.

Question Rejected K/A and replaced question This K/A is very applicable to ROs and difficult

1. 92 to apply as a generic K/A not linked to a system. Asking a basis question fits the SRO model much better.

RA-a Replaced Perform Shutdown Margin Little discriminatory value, replaced with JPM Calculations JPM with Perform Offsite requiring more evaluation.

AC Power Availability Surveillance.

IP-i Removed Alternate Path designation JPM is not alternate path.
