1. GENERAL CRITERIA

-a

a. The operating test conforms with the previously approved outline; changes are consistent with P

sampling requirements (e.g., 10 CFR 55.45, operational importance, safety function distribution).

b. There is no day-to-day repetition between this and other operating tests to be administered during this examination. 3 I c. The operating test shall not duplicate items from the applicants audit test(s)(see Section D.l .a).
d. Overlap with the written examination and between different parts of the operating test is within acceptable limits.
e. It appears that the operating test will differentiatebetween competent and less-than-competent amlicants at the desianated license level.

H a.

2. WALK-THROUGH CRITERIA Each JPM includesthe 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

- identificationof critical steps and their associated performance standards

- restrictionson the sequence of steps, if applicable It Ensure that any changes from the previously approved systems and administrative walk-through outlines (Forms ES-301-1 and 2) have not caused the test to deviate from any of the acceptance criteria (e.g., item distribution, bank use, repetitionfrom the last 2 NRC examinations) specified on those forms and Form ES-201-2.

3. SIMULATOR CRITERIA The associated simulator operating tests (scenario sets) have been reviewed in accordance with Form ES-301-4and a copy is attached.

Initials QUALITATIVE ATTRIBUTES a b" c#

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.
2. The scenarios consist mostly of related events.
3. Each event description consists of the point in the scenario when it is to be initiated the malfunction(s) 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 mint (if aoolicable)

4. No more than one non-mechanistic failure (e.g., pipe break) is incorporated into the scenario without a credible preceding incidentsuch as a seismic event.
5. The events are valid with regard to physics and thermodynamics.
6. Sequencing and timing of events is reasonable, and allows the examination team to obtain complete evaluation results commensurate with the scenario objectives. 3+
7. If time compression techniques are used, the scenario summary clearly so indicates.

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

Cues are given.

8. The simulator modeling is not altered.
