Form 2.3-1 Examination Outline Quality Checklist Facility: Hope Creek Date of Examination: 8/8/22 (Y)es / (N)o Item Task Description

a. The outline was systematically and randomly prepared in accordance with the z instructions in Section B of ES-4.1, and all knowledge and ability (KIA) categories are w

appropriately sampled.

I=

I b. The outline does not overemphasize any systems, evolutions, or generic topics.

C. Justifications for deselected or rejected KIA statements are acceptable.

a. Using Form 3.4-1, Events and Evolutions Checklist, verify that the proposed scenario set contains the required number of normal evolutions, reactivity evolutions, instrument and component failures, manual control evolutions, technical specifications, and major transients.

0::

0 b. There are enough scenarios (and spares) for the projected number and mix of

~

applicants in accordance with the expected crew composition and rotation schedule without compromising exam integrity. Ensure that scenarios will not be repeated on

E subsequent days.

ci5 Ensure that all scenarios are new or significantly modified in accordance with ES-3.4 C.

and that no scenarios are duplicated from the applicants' audit test(s).

d. To the extent possible, assess whether the outline(s) conforms with the qualitative and quantitative simulator set criteria specified on Form 2.3-2.

a. Verify that the administrative outline meets the criteria specified in the instructions on Form 3.2-1 and that no tasks are duplicated from the applicants' audit test(s).

(/)

b. Verify that the control room and in-plant systems outline meets the criteria specified in

E the instructions on Form 3.2-2 and that no tasks are duplicated from the applicants' Q..

-, audit test(s).

c. Determine whether the number of job performance measures (JPMs) and JPM types is sufficient for the projected number and mix of applicants and ensure that no items are duplicated on subsequent days.

a. Assess whether the appropriate exam sections cover plant-specific priorities (including probabilistic risk assessment and individual plant examination insights).

b. Assess whether the 10 CFR 55.41, 10 CFR 55.43, and 10 CFR 55.45 sampling is

_J appropriate.

~

w

c. Check whether KIA importance ratings (except for plant-specific priorities) are greater z than or equal to 2.5.

w

(!) d. Check for duplication and overlap across the exam and with the last two NRC exams.

e. Check the entire exam for balance of coverage.

f. Assess whether the exam fits the appropriate job level (reactor operator or senior reactor operator).

a. Each job performance measure (JPM) includes the following, as applicable: syr y

... task standard Initial conditions 1<

.. initiating cues references and tools, including associated procedures reasonable and validated time limits (average time allowed for completion) and specific designation If the facility licensee deems it to be time critical

. alternate path JPMs are labeled as "alternate path" operationally important specific performance criteria that include the following:

- 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 JPM task standard

- Identification of critical steps and their associated performance standards

- restrictions on the sequence of steos, if aoollcable

b. Ensure that any changes from the previously approved JPM outlines (Forms 3.2-1 and 3.2-2) ~?.*

'( y -Cf' have not caused the test to deViate from any of the acceptance criteria (e.g., item distribution, bank use, repetition from the last two NRC examinations) specified on those forms.

QUALITATIVE ATTRIBUTES

1. The initial conditions are realistic in that some equipment and/or instrumentation may be out of service, but It does not cue the operators into expected events. SP' l

2. The scenarios consist mostly of related events. SP

3. Each event description consists of the following: ~r y (f

• the point in the scenario when it is to be initiated

• the malfunctlon(s) or conditions that are entered to Initiate the event

• the symptoms/cues that will be visible to the crew

• the expected operator actions (by shift position)

• the event termination point (if applicable)
