Subject:

Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1 Docket Number 50-346, License Number NPF-3 Operator License Examination Outline 10 CFR 55 Enclosed is the operator license examination outline required to support the operator license examinations being administered at the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station (DBNPS) during the weeks of June 15 and June 22, 2015. These outlines are submitted in accordance with NU REG 1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors (Revision 9, Supplement 1 ). The unsigned Form ES-301-4, Simulator Scenario Quality Checklist, is being sent to support Form ES-201-2, Examination Outline Quality Checklist.

A signed version of this form will be sent with the exam materials.

The Westinghouse developed PWROG Random Generator software was used to generate both the RO and SRO written examination outlines.

This software follows the selection process described in ES-401, Attachment 1, Example Systematic Sampling Methodology and the KIA Elimination Guidance provided in ES-401. Replacement K/As were manually selected utilizing this same guidance.

Rejected K/As were documented on Form ES-401-4, Record of Rejected K/As. The expected additions to the Exam Security Agreement are additional Operations Validation Team members.

We request these materials be withheld from public disclosure until after the completion of the exam. MAR 6 2015
