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). (One Tier 3 Radiation Control K/A is allowed if the K/A is replaced by a K/A from another Tier 3 Category).
- 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 with justification; 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 a category 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.

Group Randomly Selected K/A Reason for Rejection T1/G1 054 AK1.02 This K/A states Effects of feedwater introduction on dry S/G. ANO-1 does not have any guidance on feeding a dry S/G following a loss of MFW event. ANO-1s only guidance on feeding a dry S/G is if MFW is used to feed a S/G with an unisolable steam leak (not a MFW leak). The only remaining K/A (AK1.01) does not appear to lead to development of a discriminating question without the question being overly complicated.
Replaced with AA2.01 which has high importance values (4.3/4.4).
T1/G1 077 2.4.2 This K/A concerns the knowledge of setpoints associated with EOP entry conditions. This system is also on the SRO exam and development of a question about setpoints could compromise the SRO question. Replaced with K/A 2.1.25 concerning the use of graphs which has an importance rating of 3.9.
T1/G2 003 AK3.09 This K/A states Recording of group bank position for dropped rod (reference point used to withdraw dropped rod to equal height with other rods in the bank). Although a dropped rod will be leveled to be equal to the other rods in its group, ANO-1 does not record the group position therefore a question could not be developed for this K/A. Replaced with K/A AK 3.04 which has a higher importance rating of 3.8. The question developed for this K/A meets the intent of the original K/A.
T2/G1 063 2.1.25 This K/A states: Ability to interpret reference materials, such as graphs, curves, tables, etc. There are no such references used with the DC electrical distribution system at ANO-1. Replaced with K/A 2.2.42 Ability to recognize system parameters that are entry-level conditions for Technical Specifications with an importance rating of 3.9 (same as 2.1.25).
T2/G2 041 A4.06 This K/A concerns Atmospheric relief valve controllers which, at ANO-1, are controlled by EFIC, not the Steam Dump control system which is part of ICS. Replaced with A4.08 Steam dump valves which meets the intent of the original K/A.
T3 2.4.4 This K/A is the ability to recognize entry level conditions for emergency and abnormal operating procedures. A question could not be developed for this K/A that was not also a system type question. Replaced with K/A 2.4.29, knowledge of the emergency plan.

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). (One Tier 3 Radiation Control K/A is allowed if the K/A is replaced by a K/A from another Tier 3 Category).
- 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 with justification; 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 a category 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.
