1. General Criteria The operating test conforms to the previously approved outline; changes are consistent with sam lin re uirements e.., 10 CFR 55.45, operational im ortance, safe function distribution.

There is no day-to-day repetition between this and other operating tests to be administered durin this examination.

The o eratin test shall not du licate items from the a plicants' audit test(s see Section D.1.a..

Overlap with the written examination and between different parts of the operating test is within acce table limits.

It appears that the operating test will differentiate between competent and less-than-competent a plicants at the desi nated license level.

2. Walkthrough Criteria

a.

Each JPM includes the following, as applicable:

initial conditions initiating cues references and tools, including associated procedures reasonable and validated time limits (average time allowed for completion) and specific designation if deemed to be time critical by the facility licensee operationally important specific performance criteria that include--

detailed expected actions with exact criteria and nomenclature system response and other examiner cues statements describing important observations to be made by the applicant criteria for successful completion of the task identification of critical steps and their associated perfomiance stand restrictions on the se uence of ste s, if a licable

b.

Ensure that any changes from the previously approved systems an e walk!

outlines (Forms ES-301-1 and ES-301-2) have not caused the test to any of acceptance criteria (e.g., item distribution, bank use, repetition from th RC examinations s ecified on those forms and Form ES-201-2.

3. Simulator Criteria The associated simulator operating tests (scenario sets) have been reviewed in accord Form ES-301-4, and a co is attached.

1.

The initial conditions are realistic in that some equipment and/or instrumentation may be out of service, ~ ct I~

but it does not cue the operators into expected events.

2.

The scenarios consist mostly of related events.

Each event description consists of the following:

the symptoms/cues that will be visible to the crew the expected operator actions (by shift position) the event termination point (if applicable)

4.

The events are valid with regard to physics and thermodynamics.

5.

Sequencing and timing of events is reasonable and allows the examination team to obtain complete

evaluation results commensurate with the scenario objectives.

If time compression techniques are used, the scenario summary clearly so indicates.

~

Operators have sufficient time to carry out expected activities without undue time constraints.

Cues are given.

7.

The simulator modeling is not altered.

8.

The scenarios have been validated. Pursuant to 10 CFR 55.46(d), any open simulator performance

deficiencies or deviations from the referenced plant have been evaluated to ensure that functional

~

fidelity is maintained while running the planned scenarios.

9.

Scenarios are new or significantly modified in accordance with Section D.5 of ES-301.

12. Each applicant will be significantly involved in the minimum number of transients and events specified ~ o/v f.>~

on Form ES-301-5 (submit the form with the simulator scenarios).
