Operating Test Grading Considering feasibility and options for transitioning away from competency-based scenario grading towards a more simplified, performance-based approach in order to:
- Improve regulatory alignment - no requirement exists to grade operating tests based on the cause of an error
- Focus on required actions and task standards for each scenario event
- Clarify guidance for identification of critical tasks
- Shift TS evaluation to the admin JPM portion of the exam
- Simplify post-examination results and documentation
- Provide flexibility for new reactors where certain NUREG-1021 competencies may not apply 6
NUREG-1021 Revision Objective: Consolidate and streamline examiner standards for ease of use and maintenance purposes Focus: NUREG-1021 contains the information necessary to prepare, evaluate, proctor and grade written examinations and operating tests required in 10CFR55.41, §55.43 and §55.45.
Relocate unrelated information to guidance documents Details: Stand alone sections facilitate future revisions because they can be revised independently (Similar to NUREG-0800 structure)
Additional: Improve guidance on Critical Tasks and create placeholder for Advanced Reactor examinations (i.e., NuScale SMR) 7
Requalification Inspection
- Inspection Procedure Revision - Effective January 1
- Requalification written examination guidance
- Direct Look-up Definition: For open-reference questions, if the question stem provides the reference title and/or number and the correct answer requires no understanding, application, analysis, or problem solving, but simply requires the ability to find the information in the reference, then the question is likely a direct look-up.
- Non-Credible Distractor: For open-reference questions, if the question stem provides the reference title and/or number and a distractor can be easily eliminated because it is not located anywhere in the reference, then that distractor should be considered not credible.
- Requalification cycle to cycle examination security guidance
- Written: Biennial requalification written examinations differ from one 24-month requalification program to the next so that 55.49 requirements and licensee program requirements for equitable and consistent examinations are met.
- Operating Test: Annual requalification operating tests differ from year to year so that 55.49 requirements and licensee program requirements for equitable and consistent examinations are met.
