TRIP REPORT ON OBSERVATION OF NUMARC WORKSHOPS On April 8, 1988 we observed three workshops conducted by NUMARC to develop guidance for industry preparation for the NRC requalification examination process. The workshops were held at the INPO office in Atlanta, GA.
John N. Hannon observed the workshop on developing Job Performance Measures for the plant walk-through, Len Wiens observed the workshop on developing simulator scenarios, and Shelley Spilberg observed the workshop on developing open reference written examination questions. As observers, we did not actively participate in the workshop activities, but only stated or clarified existing agency policy for the workshop participants. Agenda for the three

OBJECTIVE 3 - GUIDELINES FOR IDENTIFYING CRITICAL STEPS
- 1. Improper performance could result in personnel injury or equipment damage (Ex. starting a pump with the suction valve shut) i (Ex. racking out a breaker under lead)
- 2. Failure to complete a step of the JPM prevents successful task completion.
(Ex. failure to start a boric acid pump during emergency boration)
- 3. Failure to complete steps in sequence when step sequence is critical to successful task completion 7 (Ex. ensure HHSI pump running prior to tripping RCP)
