1. General Criteria

.j_

aft G

a.

The operating test conforms with the previously approved outline; changes are consistent with sampling requirements (e.g., 10 CFR 55.45, operational importance, safety function distribution).

(Ad c c b.

There is no day-to-day repetition belween this and other operating tests to be administered during this examination.

a.

The operating test shall not duplicate items from the applicants audit test(s). (see Section 0.1.a.)

(..Jc d.

Overlap with the written examination and between different parts of the operating test is within acceptable limits.

44 6

e.

It appears that the operating test will differentiate between competent and less-than-competent w

applicants at the designated license level.

2. Walk-Through Criteria a.

Each.)PM includes the 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 it 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

identification of critical steps and their associated performance standards

restrictions on the sequence of steps, if applicable

b.

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, repetition from 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 accortiance with Farm J

The scenarios have been validated. Pursuant to 10 CFR 55.46(d). any open simulator performance deficiencies or deviations from the referenced plant have been evaluated to ensure that functional (4/

fidelity is maintained while running the planned scenarios.

Every operator will be evaluated using at least one new or significantly modified scenario.

All other scenarios have been altered inaccordance with Section 0.5 of ES-301.

All individual operator competencies can be evaluated, as verified using Form ES-301 -6 (submit the form along with the simulator scenarios).

Check the applicant level and enter the operating test number and Form ES-D-i event numbers for each event type; TS are not applicable for RO applicants. ROs must serve in both the at-the-controls (ATC) and balance-of-plant (BOP) positions; Instant SROs must do one scenario, including at least two instrument or component (I/C) malfunctions and one major transient, in the ATC position.

2.

Reactivity manipulations may be conducted under normal or controlled abnormal conditions (refer to Section D5.d) but must be significant per Section C.2.a of Appendix D. (*) Reactivity and normal evolutions may be replaced with additional instrument or component malfunctions on a 1 -for-i basis.

3.

Whenever practical, both instrument and component malfunctions should be included; only those that require verifiable actions that provide insight to the applicants competence count toward the minimum requirements specified for the applicants license level in the right-hand columns.

There is no way to know steam pressure. During LOCA, the steam generator can become a heat source as a combination of break flow and ECCS flow removes decay heat. See step 19 of E-1 and associated background. Add to stem that a cooldown is in progress using SG PORVs. This ensures that the SGs are coupled.

Also change the distractor analysis to say that the steam pressure correlates to Tcold, not core exit temperature.

The timing of Subsequently needs refinement. If the time delay is such that system pressure is restored, the C heaters may not still be on.

I do not have the Lesson Plan to verify the correct answer, but the last bullet (the OATC notifies...) seems to be window dressing.

How does the notification change the question or answer?

S DRPI actually changes at least twice every 6 steps of bank motion because the two groups in the bank move separately. Since each rod is measured independently, DRPI changes could occur much more frequently. If you want to ask for rod speed, just ask for rod speed.

The LCOs were entered when the plant met the associated applicability statements. Required actions are entered in this case, not LCOs.

Station blackout is defined in 10CFR50. Using the term Blackout for loss of a single bus seems strange. Would the plant call this a blackout, or is this simply an attempt to make it appear to be a better K/A match?

At the plants I am familiar with the most limiting action requirement in this condition is due to the loss of multiple battery chargers. If this is most limiting, it seems that the correct answer should contain this action.

KA Match: Discuss KA Match with the licensee. The KA requires testing TS Entry Conditions with a Station Blackout present - I.E.

loss of both onsite and offsite AC power.

S The statement required actions for mitigating any adverse parameter trend seems vague and open-ended. Since it is not credible that anyone would think that rising RCS pressure and PZR level are adverse parameter trends, the question clearly means, what do I need to do to stop the FWST from depleting?

If I think the break is not isolated, then I will continue to try to isolate the leak (c and d close additional valves).

But If think that the break is isolated then B is not credible, since it basically says that doing nothing will stop the loss of FWST inventory.

S Evidently 1EADA/1VADA means 1EADA AND 1VADA. This is not evident from the question, I had to read the distractor analysis to figure this out.

Also, at many Westinghouse plants, the need for P-4 to be met to reset SI is not a function of HOW SI was initiated, but whether an automatic SI signal is currently present. In other words, SI may be able to be reset following an automatic SI if the initiating signal were no longer present. Please verify that the question is technically correct in this regard.

Is this memory level knowledge for an RO at Catawba?

S A TS is not entered. A required action is entered. Entering a TS has no defined meaning (it is slang, at best).

Consider a wording similar to : LCO 3.6.12 (Ice Bed) is (met or not met). Ice bed operability is based in part on (ice condenser door position or ice bed temperature).
