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 outline sections (i.e., except for one category in Tier 3 of the SRO-only section, the Tier Totals in each K/A category shall not be less than two). (One Tier 3 radiation control K/A is allowed if it 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 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 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.
G* Generic K/As These systems/evolutions must be included as part of the sample (as applicable to the facility) when Revision 3 of the K/A catalog is used to develop the sample plan. They are not required to be included when using earlier revisions of the K/A catalog.
These systems/evolutions may be eliminated from the sample (as applicable to the facility) when Revision 3 of the K/A catalog is used to develop the sample plan.

ES-301 Control Room/In-Plant Systems Outline Form ES-301-2 NRC JPM Examination Summary Description S1: The plant has just down-powered to 70% power due to a feedwater heater tube leak and the CRS has directed you to balance ASI IAW procedure OP-010-004, Attachment 9.4 using control rods. Once the applicant has started to move control rods, several rods drop into the core, but an automatic trip does not occur (alt path). The applicant must initiate a reactor trip.
S2: The plant has experienced a loss of offsite power and the CRS has directed you to establish natural circulation IAW procedure OP-902-003, Step 17. This will require adjustment of several parameters to get it at the required values IAW step 17.
S3: The A SIT tank pressure has dropped due the low alarm setpoint and must be raised IAW OP-009-008, section 6.1, using N2, to a final value of 630 psig.
S4: The plant is preparing to startup with only the 2A RCP running. The CRS has directed you to start the B RCP IAW procedure OP-001-002. After the start, the applicant is monitoring the 2B RCP parameters and notices alarms for vibrations. The applicant will take actions IAW OP-901-130, section E2, to trip the pump prior to an auto trip.
S5: the plant has experienced a LOCA with containment Hydrogen at 0.7%. The CRS has directed you to place the first hydrogen recombiner in service IAW OP-008-006, section 6.1, starting at 6.1.3. Using time compression, when the first increase to 10kw is completed, power will continue to increase without control (exceeding 75kw) and will require it to be secured.
S6: the CRS has directed you to energize the 1A safety bus from offsite power in accordance with OP-902-009, Standard Appendices. Direct from bank NRC Aug 2011 Exam.
S7: The B SFP cooling pump maintenance was recently completed, and it is ready for a post maintenance run. The CRS has directed you to shift SFP cooling pumps from the A pump to the B pump IAW OP-002-006, section 6.14. Shortly after securing the A pump, the B pump trips, requiring a restart of the A pump due to loss of SFP cooling (Alt Path).
S8: The CRS has directed you to discharge Waste Condensate Tank A to the Circulating Water System in accordance with OP-007-004, Liquid Waste Management System. Upon initiation of flow, LWM flow controller output fails high, raising flow beyond what is permitted by the release permit. (2017 NRC Exam)
P1: The control room was evacuated due to fire and you are at LCP-43 (Remote Shutdown panel) and have completed steps 1-32 of OP-901-502. You are directed to complete steps 33 and 34 to borate the RCS from LCP-43.
P2: Reset overspeed trip of EFW turbine IAW OP-902-005.
P3: The CRS has directed you to place battery charger 1B in service in accordance with OP-006-003, Section 8.3. After alignment, the HI-V Shutdown lamp remains illuminated, which requires both AC and DC isolation breakers to be opened for the 1B battery charger (step 8.3.5).

2 2 Instructions:
- 1.
Check the applicant level and enter the operating test number and Form ES-D-1 event numbers for each event type; TS are not applicable for RO applicants. ROs must serve in both the at-the-controls (ATC) and balance-of-plant (BOP) positions. Instant SROs (SRO-I) must serve in both the SRO and the ATC positions, including at least two instrument or component (I/C) malfunctions and one major transient, in the ATC position. If an SRO-I additionally serves in the BOP position, one I/C malfunction can be credited toward the two I/C malfunctions required for the ATC position.
- 2.
Reactivity manipulations may be conducted under normal or controlled abnormal conditions (refer to Section D.5.d) but must be significant per Section C.2.a of Appendix D. (*) Reactivity and normal evolutions may be replaced with additional I/C malfunctions on a one-for-one basis.
- 3.
Whenever practical, both instrument and component malfunctions should be included; only those that require verifiable actions that provide insight to the applicants competence count toward the minimum requirements specified for the applicants license level in the right-hand columns.
- 4.
For new reactor facility licensees that use the ATC operator primarily for monitoring plant parameters, the chief examiner may place SRO-I applicants in either the ATC or BOP position to best evaluate the SRO-I in manipulating plant controls.

NRC Scenario 1 - Narrative 2022 NRC Exam Scenario 1 D-1 Rev 3 The crew assumes the shift with the reactor at POAH following a forced outage. The turnover will include instructions to continue the startup by pulling control rods in accordance with the reactivity plan.
Event 1: The reactivity plan will include instructions to pull control rods. Once enough of a reactivity change is seen by the examiners the next event can be triggered.
Event 2: After the first event is complete, the Safety Channel C RCS Cold Leg instrument RC-ITI-0102CC (Loop T112C) fails high requiring TS 3.3.1 entry and bypassing affected bistables. The SRO should review and enter Technical Specification 3.3.1 Action 2 and bypass 3-HI LOCAL POWER and 4-LOW DNBR bistables within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> in accordance with OP-009-007, Plant Protection System.
Event 3: Once TS have been entered and bypasses are complete, the A CCW pump trips, requiring a manual start of another pump. The SRO should review and enter 3.7.3 and cascading Technical Specifications and take actions to align the AB CCW pump within 72 hrs per OP-901-510, Component Cooling Water System Malfunction. Tech Spec 3.8.1.1 will be entered for Electrical Breaker Alignment Check and to verify Train A components and EFW AB operability.
Event 4: After event 3 is complete, the selected Pressurizer Pressure Control Channel (RC-IPR-100X) fails high and both spray valves open but will close in manual. The crew should close the spray valves to stop the pressure reduction. The SRO should enter OP-901-120, Pressurizer Pressure Control Malfunction and implement Section E1 Pressurizer Pressure Control Channel Instrument Failure. The crew should take manual control of the Pressurizer Pressure Controller to restore Pressurizer Pressure to within band (if out), swap control to the Channel Y pressure channel, and return the Pressurizer Pressure Controller back to AUTO.
Event 5: A large Break LOCA is inserted on a ramp. This event contains CT-1, Trip RCPs on LBLOCA.
The ATC will manually trip the reactor then trip RCPs within 3 min following loss of CCW Cooling due to containment pressure reaching 17.7 psia (CSAS) or due to low RCS pressure. The crew will perform Standard Post Trip Actions using OP-902-000, SPTAs and diagnose to OP-902-002, Loss of Coolant Accident Recovery.
Event 6: After the reactor is tripped, and RCPs are secured a loss of offsite power occurs. The A EDG energizes the A safety bus for 10 seconds and then trips on overspeed, the A safety bus remains deenergized (dead) for the remainder of the scenario.
Event 7: CS B spray valve fails to auto open and must be manually opened to meet the containment safety function (CT-2, manually open CS-125B) before leaving step 9.3 of the procedure.
Event 8: BAM-113 and CVC-183 fail to reposition following SIAS and should be repositioned. BAM-113 should be manually opened and CVC-183 should be manually closed.
The scenario can be terminated once all CTs are complete (RCPs tripped and CS-125B open), event diagnosed and procedure transition is done, AND event 8 is completed or at the lead examiners discretion.
NRC Scenario 1 - Critical Task Determination 2022 NRC Exam Scenario 1 D-1 Rev 3 Critical Task Safety Significance Cueing Measurable Performance Indicator Performance Feedback CT-1: Trip any RCP exceeding operating limits or after 3 min without CCW flow This task is satisfied by manually tripping all 4 Reactor Coolant Pumps within 3 minutes of a loss of CCW flow to the RCPs. This task becomes applicable following the actuation of CSAS.
This step is performed for protection of the RCPs, since CCW, which provides cooling to the RCPs, is isolated upon CSAS actuation.

NRC Scenario 2 - Narrative 2022 NRC Exam Scenario 2 D-1 Rev 3 The crew assumes the shift at 100% power with instructions to maintain 100% power. AB Buses are aligned to Train B. Temp Diesels are not available.
Event 1: Following crew turnover, AH-12A trips and AH-12B starts. CRS declares AH-12A inoperable and enters TS 3.7.6.3a 7 day LCO.
Event 2: SG #2 NR Level channel (1123A) fails low. The SRO should direct the BOP to bypass bistables 8, 10, and 20 on PPS Channel A. The SRO will enter TS 3.3.1 action 2, 3.3.2 action 19, TRM 3.3.1 action 1 and comply with TRM 3.3.2. TS 3.3.3.5 and 3.3.3.6 are evaluated and determined to be not applicable.
At LCP-43, SG-ILI-1123-A1 is indicating failed low. Use Thunder View if asked for other SG levels at LCP-43.
Event 3: Hot Leg 1 Temperature, RC-ITI-0111X, fails low affecting PZR level setpoint. Pressurizer level setpoint will lower which will cause letdown flow to rise with only one charging pump in operation.
Pressurizer level will lower due to this condition. SRO will enter OP-901-110, Pressurizer Level.
Event 4: Once event 3 is complete, a tube leak occurs in Feedwater Heater 5B, causing Condensate flow to isolate through Low Pressure Feedwater Heaters 5B and 6B. The crew will enter OP-901-221, Secondary System Transient, Section E1, Loss of Feedwater Preheating. This also requires a power reduction in accordance with OP-901-212, Rapid Plant Power Reduction, which will prompt a reactivity manipulation.
Event 5: Once event 4 is complete, a Loss of 1A non-safety bus (causes trip of 1A and 2A RCPs),
causes reactor trip. ATWS occurs which requires crew to open the 32A and 32B CEDM MG set breakers to insert all control rods per SPTA procedure OP-902-000, step1 CRITICAL TASK (CT-1).
Event 6: Three CEDMs stick out due to bowing and emergency boration is required within 1 minute of the trip of two RCPs and before leaving the step on reactivity control in SPTA procedure CRITICAL TASK (CT-2).
Event 7: AN ESD occurs with MS-106B, Main Steam Line #2 Safety #1, on SG #2 failing 50% open and requires entry into OP-902-004, Excess Steam Demand Recovery Procedure.
Event 8: Main Feedwater Isolation Valve Steam Generator 1, FW-184A fails to AUTO close on MSIS requiring manual closure.
NRC Scenario 2 - Critical Task Determination 2022 NRC Exam Scenario 2 D-1 Rev 3 Critical Task Safety Significance Cueing Measurable Performance Indicator Performance Feedback CT-1: Trip Reactor during ATWS event with the two 32 breakers when other methods fail to trip it.
This task is satisfied by manually tripping the Reactor by de-energizing busses 32A and 32B within 1 minute of the two RCPS tripping and before leaving step 1 of SPTA procedure OP-902-000.
The task becomes applicable following the trip of the 1A and 2A RCPs because a PPS limit could be exceeded.
This task is satisfied by manually Opening BOTH of the following breakers for 5 seconds and THEN re-closing: a) SST A32 FEEDER b) SST B32 FEEDER Failure to trip the Reactor when an automatic PPS signal has failed to actuate can lead to a degradation of fission product barriers. 1 minute is determined to be a reasonable time limit to identify and take action for satisfactory performance.

NRC Scenario 4 - Narrative 2022 NRC Exam Scenario 4 D-1 Rev 3 The crew assumes the shift at 100% power with instructions to maintain 100% power. No equipment is out of service.
Event 1: Following crew turnover, the crew is directed to perform OP-903-046 section 5.3, EFW Pump AB Check. EFW AB will trip on mechanical over speed and cannot be reset due to linkage damage. The CRS will enter TS 3.7.1.2 action d.
Event 2: When the Tech Spec review is complete, letdown backpressure control valve, CVC-123B, fails closed. The SRO should enter OP-901-112, Charging or Letdown Malfunction, section E2 which will place the standby backpressure control valve in service.
Event 3: After the standby letdown backpressure control valve is in service, Log Power Channel D will fail low. The CRS should enter TS 3.3.1 functional unit 3 action 2 and TS 3.3.3.6 action 29 and bypass bistables 1-4 on PPS Channel D. Bistable 14 may be bypassed while in Mode 1, not applicable until Mode 2.
Event 4:. After the crew has addressed TS, Pressurizer Level Channel X, RC-ILI-0110X, fails high. The CRS will enter OP-901-110, Pressurizer Level Control Malfunction, section E1, Pressurizer Level Control Channel Malfunction. The crew will swap controlling channel to Channel Y and restore Pressurizer Control back to Auto. The CRS should enter TS 3.3.3.5 action a. TS 3.3.3.6 should be reviewed and determined to not be applicable.
Event 5: After Pressurizer Control is in auto, the Main Turbine will trip followed by a Loss Of Offsite Power. Charging Pump Event 6: The 3A to 2A bus tie breaker will fail to open causing EDG A output breaker failing to close. The crew will take action to open the 3A to 2A bus tie breaker (Critical Task 1) which will allow EDG A to power the 3A Safety Bus.
Event 7: EDG B will trip on overspeed after 20 seconds from event 5.
Event 8: CCW Pump A will fail to load on the sequencer requiring the BOP to manually start CCW Pump A within 10 minutes of output breaker closure (Critical Task 2) to prevent overheating of the only remaining EDG (A) still powering a vital bus and prevent an SBO event.
Event 9: Charging Pump A will fail to auto start. The ATC should recognize that no charging pumps are operating and start Charging Pump A.
The scenario can be terminated after the crew has powered the 3A Safety Bus, verified proper CCW operation, conserved Steam Generator inventory and have discussed actions for restoring Main Feedwater to at least one Steam Generator per OP-902-006, Loss of Feedwater Recovery, or at the lead examiners discretion.
NRC Scenario 4 - Critical Task Determination 2022 NRC Exam Scenario 4 D-1 Rev 3 Critical Task Safety Significance Cueing Measurable Performance Indicator Performance Feedback CT-1: Energize the 3A vital AC Bus with A EDG and prevent entering OP-902-005, Station Blackout Recovery.
Task is applicable when EDG B over-speeds/trips and loss of offsite power occurs.
This task is satisfied by manually opening bus tie breaker 3A-2A, which then allows EDG A to energize the 3 A bus, prior to performing actions in OP-902-005, Station Blackout Recovery.
This task becomes applicable once the Loss of Offsite power occurs.
Failure to energize at least one emergency bus will result in the plant remaining in a configuration that will not support protection if a subsequent event would occur. This lowers the mitigative capability of the plant.
(WTRN-OPS-CRITTASKS, CT-03)
Breaker indication on CP-1 and control room lighting.
OP-902-000, Standard Post Trip Actions The crew takes action to manually energize the required Safety Bus by opening the required 3-2 tie breaker.
EDG status and output breaker indication CT-2: Manually start CCW Pump A (when it does not energize on the sequencer) within 10 minutes of EDG A output breaker being closed in order to prevent overheat of the A EDG.
This task is satisfied by manually starting the A CCW pump when it fails to sequence on the 3A bus.
This task becomes applicable once the Loss of Offsite power occurs.
Failure to establish CCW cooling to an operating and loaded EDG within 10 minutes will overheat the EDG and put the plant in an SBO event and place the plant at increased risk of core damage.
(WTRN-OPS-CRITTASKS, CT-03)
CCW pump indicating lights and CCW flow on CP-8.
OP-902-000, Standard Post Trip Actions The crew takes action to manually start the CCW A pump.
CCW A pump indicating lights and CCW flow.
Critical Task (NUREG-1021, Rev. 11 Appendix D)
- If an operator or the crew significantly deviates from or fails to follow procedures that affect the maintenance of basic safety functions, those actions may form the basis of a CT identified in the post-scenario review.
- Causing an unnecessary plant trip or ESF actuation may constitute a CT failure. Actions taken by the applicant(s) will be validated using the methodology for critical tasks in Appendix D to NUREG-1021.
