Fire Brigade Leader? If so the Standard for PS 3 should include an item to designate a Fire Brigade Leader.

Response

1. Chemists and RP qualifications are not annotated on the Operations Org Chart. This tells the examinee that they are qualified Fire Brigade.
2. Added Non-Critical Step
3. Added words to standard.

1. The initial conditions, specifically the last bullet, is unnecessarily leading the examinee. The determination of the regulatory impact (TS, TRM, or other applicable requirements) is an SRO responsibility. The bulleted item should end simply with the fact that Door 34 is NOT a fire door.
2. The Initiating Cue should simply be for the examinee to determine the impact of the door being open on any regulatory requirements. The examinee should then determine the applicability of LCO 3.0.9.
3. Add a step prior to JPM step 2 for applicant to identify applicability of step 4.3.2.F.2
4. JPM step 2; Step number referenced is incorrect (based on references supplied);

I can foresee applicants attempting to breakdown the task to three parts: transit to the valve, repairs and cleanup, and transit out of the area. it has been done in the past with similar JPMs; especially with applicants who have not made actual entries in the past. (Question)

4. PS 3; The determination that the expected dose will exceed the allowable entry dose should be part of PS 4; step D.3 of the procedure simply requires determination of the allowable entry dose. Should step PS 3 not be critical and PS 4 should be with the Standard specifying that the examinee; 1) determines allowable entry dose will be exceeded and 2) contacts RPC for resolution.

Response

1. Task standard added.
2. Updated ICs to state transit time dose is negligible.
3. Specified ICs to state the job is 45 minutes at the valve.
4. Updated PS4 to make it critical. PS3 would still be critical.

Check or mark any item(s) requiring a comment and explain the issue in the space provided using the guide below.

1. Check each JPM for appropriate administrative topic requirements (COO, EC, Rad, and EP) or safety function requirements and corresponding K/A. Mark in column 1.

(ES-301, D.3 and D.4)

2. Determine the level of difficulty (LOD) using an established 1-5 rating scale. Levels 1 and 5 represent an inappropriate (low or high) discriminatory level for the license that is being tested. Mark in column 2 (Appendix D, C.1.f)
3. In column 3, Attributes, check the appropriate box when an attribute is not met:
  • The initial conditions and/or initiating cue is clear to ensure the operator understands the task and how to begin. (Appendix C, B.4)
  • The JPM contains appropriate cues that clearly indicate when they should be provided to the examinee. Cues are objective and not leading. (Appendix C, D.1)
  • All critical steps (elements) are properly identified.
  • The scope of the task is not too narrow (N) or too broad (B).
  • Excessive overlap does not occur with other parts of the operating test or written examination. (ES-301, D.1.a, and ES-301, D.2.a)
  • The task performance standard clearly describes the expected outcome (i.e., end state). Each performance step identifies a standard for successful completion of the step.
  • A valid marked up key was provided (e.g., graph interpretation, initialed steps for handouts).
4. For column 4, Job Content, check the appropriate box if the job content flaw does not meet the following elements:
  • Topics are linked to the job content (e.g., not a disguised task, task required in real job).
  • The JPM has meaningful performance requirements that will provide a legitimate basis for evaluating the applicant's understanding and ability to safely operate the plant. (ES-301, D.2.c)
5. Based on the reviewers judgment, is the JPM as written (U)nacceptable (requiring repair or replacement), in need of (E)nhancement, or (S)atisfactory? Mark the answer in column 5.
6. In column 6, provide a brief description of any (U)nacceptable or (E)nhancement rating from column 5.

Save initial review comments and detail subsequent comment resolution so that each exam-bound JPM is marked by a (S)atisfactory resolution on this form.

3 X Response: Greater than 30% is the power of applicability; however, the RBM Upscale S applicability also requires MCPR to be below the limit specified in the COLR. MCPR is not below the limit in the COLR, therefore this LCO is not applicable, and as such, it is NOT being credited for a TS call.

ES-301 Operating Test Review Worksheet Form ES-301-7 26 Instructions for Completing This Table:

Use this table for each scenario for evaluation.

2 Check this box if the events are not related (e.g., seismic event followed by a pipe rupture) OR if the events do not obey the laws of physics and thermodynamics.

3, 4 In columns 3 and 4, check the box if there is no verifiable or required action, as applicable. Examples of required actions are as follows: (ES-301, D.5f)

  • opening, closing, and throttling valves
  • starting and stopping equipment
  • raising and lowering level, flow, and pressure
  • making decisions and giving directions
  • acknowledging or verifying key alarms and automatic actions (Uncomplicated events that require no operator action beyond this should not be included on the operating test unless they are necessary to set the stage for subsequent events. (Appendix D, B.3))

5 Check this box if the level of difficulty is not appropriate.

6 Check this box if the event has a TS.

7 Check this box if the event has a critical task (CT). If the same CT covers more than one event, check the event where the CT started only.

8 Check this box if the event overlaps with another event on any of the last two NRC examinations. (Appendix D, C.1.f) 9 Based on the reviewers judgment, is the event as written (U)nacceptable (requiring repair or replacement), in need of (E)nhancement, or (S)atisfactory? Mark the answer in column 9.

10 Record any explanations of the events here.

In the shaded boxes, sum the number of check marks in each column.

  • In column 1, sum the number of events.
  • In columns 2-4, record the total number of check marks for each column.
  • In column 5, based on the reviewer's judgment, place a checkmark only if the scenario's LOD is not appropriate.
  • In column 6, TS are required to be 2 for each scenario. (ES-301, D.5.d)
  • In column 7, pre-identified CTs should be 2 for each scenario. (Appendix D; ES-301, D.5.d; ES-301-4)
  • In column 8, record the number of events not used on the two previous NRC initial licensing exams. A scenario is considered unsatisfactory if there is < 2 new events. (ES-301, D.5.b; Appendix D, C.1.f)
  • In column 9, record whether the scenario as written (U)nacceptable, in need of (E)nhancement, or (S)atisfactory from column 11 of the simulator scenario table.

Check or mark any item(s) requiring comment and explain the issue in the space provided.

1, 3, 5 For each simulator scenario, enter the total number of events (column 1), TS entries/actions (column 3), and CTs (column 5).

This number should match the respective scenario from the event-based scenario tables (the sum from columns 1, 6, and 7, respectively).

2, 4, 6 For each simulator scenario, evaluate each event, TS, and CT as (S)atisfactory, (E)nhance, or (U)nsatisfactory based on the following criteria:

a. Events. Each event is described on a Form ES-D-2, including all switch manipulations, pertinent alarms, and verifiable actions. Event actions are balanced between at-the-controls and balance-of-plant applicants during the scenario. All event-related attributes on Form ES-301-4 are met. Enter the total number of unsatisfactory events in column 2.
b. TS. A scenario includes at least two TS entries/actions across at least two different events. TS entries and actions are detailed on Form ES-D-2. Enter the total number of unsatisfactory TS entries/actions in column 4. (ES-301, D.5d)
c. CT. Check that a scenario includes at least two pre-identified CTs. This criterion is a target quantitative attribute, not an absolute minimum requirement.

Check that each CT is explicitly bounded on Form ES-D-2 with measurable performance standards (see Appendix D). Enter the total number of unsatisfactory CTs in column 6.

2+4+6 7 In column 7, calculate the percentage of unsatisfactory scenario elements: 100%

1+3+5 8 If the value in column 7 is > 20%, mark the scenario as (U)nsatisfactory in column 8. If column 7 is 20%, annotate with (E)nhancement or (S)atisfactory.

9 In column 11, explain each unsatisfactory event, TS, and CT. Editorial comments can also be added here.

Save initial review comments and detail subsequent comment resolution so that each exam-bound scenario is marked by a (S)atisfactory resolution on this form.
