11 Senior Reactor Operator-Instant (SRO-I) 7 3

10 Senior Reactor Operator-Upgrade (SRO-U) 2 or 3 3 or 2 5

2. Select safety functions and systems for each JPM as follows:

Refer to Section 1.9 of the applicable knowledge and abilities (K/A) catalog for the plant systems organized by safety function. For pressurized-water reactor operating tests, the primary and secondary systems listed under Safety Function 4, Heat Removal from Reactor Core, in Section 1.9 of the applicable K/A catalog, may be treated as separate safety functions (i.e., two systems, one primary and one secondary, may be selected from Safety Function 4). From the safety function groupings identified in the K/A catalog, select the appropriate number of plant systems by safety functions to be evaluated based on the applicants license level (see the table in step 1).

For RO/SRO-I applicants: Each of the control room system JPMs and, separately, each of the in-plant system JPMs must evaluate a different safety function, and the same system or evolution cannot be used to evaluate more than one safety function in each location. One of the control room system JPMs must be an engineered safety feature.

For SRO-U applicants: Evaluate SRO-U applicants on five different safety functions.

One of the control room system JPMs must be an engineered safety feature, and the same system or evolution cannot be used to evaluate more than one safety function.

3. Select a task for each JPM that supports, either directly or indirectly and in a meaningful way, the successful fulfillment of the associated safety function. Select the task from the applicable K/A catalog (K/As for plant systems or emergency and abnormal plant evolutions) or the facility licensees site-specific task list. If this task has an associated K/A, the K/A should have an importance rating of at least 2.5 in the RO column. K/As that have importance ratings of less than 2.5 may be used if justified based on plant priorities; inform the NRC chief examiner if selecting K/As with an importance rating less than 2.5.

The selected tasks must be different from the events and evolutions conducted during the simulator operating test and tasks tested on the written examination. A task that is similar to a simulator scenario event may be acceptable if the actions required to complete the task are significantly different from those required in response to the scenario event.

Apply the following specific task selection criteria:

At least one of the tasks shall be related to a shutdown or low-power condition.

Four to six of the tasks for RO and SRO-I applicants shall require execution of alternative paths within the facility licensees operating procedures. Two to three of the tasks for SRO-U applicants shall require execution of alternative paths within the facility licensees operating procedures.

At least one alternate path JPM must be new or modified from the bank.

At least one of the tasks conducted in the plant shall evaluate the applicants ability to implement actions required during an emergency or abnormal condition.

At least one of the tasks conducted in the plant shall require the applicant to enter the radiologically controlled area. This provides an excellent opportunity for the applicant to discuss or demonstrate radiation control administrative subjects.

If it is not possible to develop or locate a suitable task for a selected system, return to step 2 and select a different system.

License Level Control Room In-Plant Total Reactor Operator (RO) 8 3

11 Senior Reactor Operator-Instant (SRO-I) 7 3

10 Senior Reactor Operator-Upgrade (SRO-U) 2 or 3 3 or 2 5

2. Select safety functions and systems for each JPM as follows:

Refer to Section 1.9 of the applicable knowledge and abilities (K/A) catalog for the plant systems organized by safety function. For pressurized-water reactor operating tests, the primary and secondary systems listed under Safety Function 4, Heat Removal from Reactor Core, in Section 1.9 of the applicable K/A catalog, may be treated as separate safety functions (i.e., two systems, one primary and one secondary, may be selected from Safety Function 4). From the safety function groupings identified in the K/A catalog, select the appropriate number of plant systems by safety functions to be evaluated based on the applicants license level (see the table in step 1).

For RO/SRO-I applicants: Each of the control room system JPMs and, separately, each of the in-plant system JPMs must evaluate a different safety function, and the same system or evolution cannot be used to evaluate more than one safety function in each location. One of the control room system JPMs must be an engineered safety feature.

For SRO-U applicants: Evaluate SRO-U applicants on five different safety functions.

One of the control room system JPMs must be an engineered safety feature, and the same system or evolution cannot be used to evaluate more than one safety function.

3. Select a task for each JPM that supports, either directly or indirectly and in a meaningful way, the successful fulfillment of the associated safety function. Select the task from the applicable K/A catalog (K/As for plant systems or emergency and abnormal plant evolutions) or the facility licensees site-specific task list. If this task has an associated K/A, the K/A should have an importance rating of at least 2.5 in the RO column. K/As that have importance ratings of less than 2.5 may be used if justified based on plant priorities; inform the NRC chief examiner if selecting K/As with an importance rating less than 2.5.

The selected tasks must be different from the events and evolutions conducted during the simulator operating test and tasks tested on the written examination. A task that is similar to a simulator scenario event may be acceptable if the actions required to complete the task are significantly different from those required in response to the scenario event.

Apply the following specific task selection criteria:

At least one of the tasks shall be related to a shutdown or low-power condition.

Four to six of the tasks for RO and SRO-I applicants shall require execution of alternative paths within the facility licensees operating procedures. Two to three of the tasks for SRO-U applicants shall require execution of alternative paths within the facility licensees operating procedures.

At least one alternate path JPM must be new or modified from the bank.

At least one of the tasks conducted in the plant shall evaluate the applicants ability to implement actions required during an emergency or abnormal condition.

At least one of the tasks conducted in the plant shall require the applicant to enter the radiologically controlled area. This provides an excellent opportunity for the applicant to discuss or demonstrate radiation control administrative subjects.

If it is not possible to develop or locate a suitable task for a selected system, return to step 2 and select a different system.

Form 2.3-3 Instructions for Completing the JPM Table

1. Enter the JPM number and/or title.
2. Enter the type of JPM(S)imulator, (P)lant, or (A)dministrative.
3. Enter (Y)es or (N)o for an Alternate Path JPM.
4. Rate the level of difficulty (LOD) of each JPM using a scale of 1-5 (easy-difficult). A JPM containing less than two critical steps, a JPM that tests solely for recall or memorization, or a JPM that involves directly looking up a single correct answer is likely LOD = 1 (too easy). Conversely, a JPM with over 30 steps or a JPM that takes more than 45 minutes to complete is likely LOD = 5 (too difficult).
5. Check the appropriate block for each JPM error type, using the following criteria:

LOD = 1 or 5 is unsatisfactory (U).

REF: The JPM lacks required references, tools, or procedures (U).

IC: The JPM initial conditions are missing or the JPM lacks an adequate initial cue (U).

CUE: The JPM lacks adequate evaluator cues to allow the applicant to complete the task, or the evaluator cues are subjective or leading (U).

TSK: The JPM lacks a task standard or lacks completion criteria for a task standard (U).

CS: The JPM contains errors in designating critical steps, or the JPM lacks an adequate performance standard for a critical step (U).

TL: The JPM validation times are unreasonable, or a time-critical JPM lacks a completion time (U).

6. Mark the JPM as unsatisfactory (U), satisfactory (S), or needs enhancements (E). A JPM is (U) if it has one or more (U) errors as determined in step 5. Examples of enhancements include formatting, spelling, or other minor changes.
7. Briefly describe any JPM determined to be unsatisfactory (U) or needing enhancement (E). Save initial review comments and detail subsequent comment resolution so that each exam-bound JPM is marked by a satisfactory (S) resolution on this form.

1. For each scenario, enter the scenario event names and descriptions.
2. Review the individual events contained in each scenario, and identify and mark event errors:

The scenario guide event description is not realistic/credibleunsatisfactory (U).

The scenario guide event description lacks adequate crew/operator performance standardsneeds enhancement (E).

The scenario guide event description lacks verifiable actions for a credited normal event, reactivity event instrument/component malfunction, or technical specification (TS) event (or a combination of these) (U).

The scenario guide event description incorrectly designates an event as a critical task (i.e., a noncritical task labeled as critical or a critical task labeled as noncritical). This includes critical tasks that do not meet the critical task criteria (i.e., the critical task does not have a measurable performance standard) (U).

The scenario guide event description incorrectly designates entry into TS actions when not required or does not designate entry into TS actions when required (U).

3. Based on the outcome in step 2, mark the scenario event as unsatisfactory (U), satisfactory (S), or needs enhancements (E). An event is (U) if it has one or more (U) errors as determined in step 2. Examples of enhancements include formatting, spelling, or other minor changes.

NRC 2021, Reference The unmodified bank question is in the supporting RO developmental documents. normally this is attached in the RO exam with supporting document file. I do not like the reference as given. If you remove the block that says shutdown margin > 1.3%

and the block that says unaccaptable initiate boration I will accept having the reference. With the reference and this being a simple lookup question it borders on being too simple and is providing very little discriminatory value. if you could figure out how to ask how much boron would be required to achieve 1.3%

shutdown margin then you might have something worthwhile.

Some concerns about removing the reference since the graph contains a range of allowable temp / press. Thought it might be cleaner to remove this portion of the question (and reference) and replace with a similar procedural action related to SDM.

NRC 2017 Need to include the unmodified bank question in the supporting documents. What is normal charging flow? Somewhere in the 90 to 110 gpm range? With the rate of loss in the pzr steam space charging alone without reducing letdown you would have control of pzr level. so lowering lewtdown could be said that would or would not allow you to control level.

Discuss. Per question stem charging has been maximized per initial condition and is still decreasing by aprox. 24 gpm. Per the procedure, a decision must be made to either isolate or reduce letdown (options for both provided).

CE agreed following discussion on 7/19.

This is a good system or tier 2 question.

This does not meet the intent of a tier 1 question. Ensure that Tier 1 questions test an applicants knowledge of how to safely operate the plant during emergency and abnormal conditions.

Satisfactory ways of achieving this objective include, but are not limited to:

(1) information contained in the sites procedures, including alarm response procedures, abnormal operating procedures (AOPs), emergency operating procedures (EOPs), and their associated bases documents; (2) diagnosis that leads to selection of the procedures that should be used to respond to the evolution; (3) the progression of an event; and (4) the assessment of the integrated plant response to emergency or abnormal situations crossing severalplant systems or safety functions, or both.

This meets the tier 1 threshold with the progression of an event "how long until the NC pump is required to be tripped. I assume that the second half of the question is what is actually meeting the K/A.

Does not meet the K/A the K/A asks about a loss of make-up to the RCS. And how that impacts ECCS. The question asked is about a loss of make-up to the VCT and swap over to the ECCS suction.

What happens if you loose normal charging (make-up) and what impact does that have on ECCS.

Reword to address the tier 1 aspect.

Procedure X does or does not direct the operator to increase feed flow or somethinglike that. Also saying it is approaching 11% does that mean it is above 12% for level? Just give a value that works for the question. also i do not believe that a reference is required if temperatures and pressures are stable you have Natural circulation. Remove reference Discuss. Is Tier 1 met with part 2 question "IAW ECA-0.1..."? The part 2 question is possibly our best tie to K/A as it relates to station blackout (time instrument air remains available to be controled from CR).

Discussed with CE on 7/19 - Part 2 question is acceptable. Revised S/G level bullet in stem with acceptable stable level and remove reference.

Post discussion - also revised S/G pressure and Tcold temperature so that they match. The reference graph contained an allowable range for saturation press vs temp. If we do no provide graph we believe we need to make Tcold at saturation temp for S/G press. Question Sat

Couple of issues the setpoint question is a dierct look up as the values for the relief valves are listed on the reference you provide. The written is closed book with few exceptions this K/A being one of them. A way yo meet the K/A and avoid the direct look up issue would be to as the following "An Instrument Air Receiver Relief Valve, 1VI7 opened due to high pressure and failed to re-seat The crew entered AP/0/A/5500/022 (Loss of Instrument Air)

The relief valve has been isolated VI pressure has been restored to normal operating pressure Isolation of the relief valve 1VI7 will require __________ to be isolated from the system." The choices would be Insturment Air Compressor D only, Insturment Air Compressor E only, Insturment Air Compressor E and F, Insturment Air COmpressor D and F.

You would need to clean up the wording and put the Catawba language on it but you could use the same reference.

If there is a procedural requirement to trip the NC pumps if all KC flow is lost how does the readily available to be restored make this a incorrect answer? We probably need to put some better information in the distractor analysis to ensure that there is only one correct answer.

Procedural requirement to trip NCPs if cooling water flow has been lost for >10 minutes or NCP trip criteria is met. This guidance is contained in step 8 of AP/21.

Direction to start additional pumps is provided twice in earlier steps (2 & 7).

Added this information to distractor analysis as suggested.

How is the mode 5 really credible for a tonado why would you think the earthquake section would make it credible? I would take longer to get to mode 5 than a storm would take to pass ie tornado.
