1. I a. Verify that the outline(s) fit(s) the appropriate model, in accordance with ES401. IR R

I I b. Assess whether the outline was systematically and randomly prepared in accordance with Section D.l of ES-401 and whether all KIA cateaories are amroDriatelv sampled.

T T I c. Assess whether the outline over-emphasizes any systems, evolutions, or generic topics.

~

r N I d. Assess whether the justifications for deselected or rejected WA statements are appropriate.

I

a. Using Form ES-301-5. verify that the proposed scenario sets cover the required number

2. of normal evolutions, instrument and component failures, technical specifications, C

and major transients.

b. Assess whether there are enough scenario sets (and spares) to test the projected number and mix of applicants in accordance with the expected crew composition and rotation schedule without compromising exam integrity, and ensure that each applicant can be tested using at least one new or significantly modified scenario, that no scenarios are duplicated from the applicants' audit test(s), and scenarios will not be repeated on subsequent days. Pb

c. To the extent possible, assess whether the outline(s) conform(s) with the qualitative and quantitative criteria specified on Form ES-301-4 and described in Appendix D.

- a. Verify that the systems walk-through outline meets the criteria specified on Form ES-301-2:

3.

(1) the outline(s) contain(s) the required number of control room and in-plant tasks w disbibuted among the safety functions as specified on the form J (2) task repetition from the last two NRC examinations is within the limits specified on the form T (3) no tasks are duplicated from the applicants' audit test(s)

(4) the number of new or modified tasks meets or exceeds the minimums specified on the form W

(5) the number of alternate path, low-power, emergency, and RCA tasks meet the criteria on the form

b. Verify that the administrative outline meets the criteria specified on Form ES-301-1:

(1) the tasks are distributed among the topics as specified on the form (2) at least one task is new or significantly modified (3) no more than one task is repeated from the last two NRC licensing examinations PIP

c. Determine if there are enough different outlines to test the projected number and mix of applicants and ensure that no items are duplicated on subsequent days. Np.

4. a. Assess whether plant-specific priorities (induding PRA and IPE insights) are covered in the appropriate exam section. 4

N c. Ensure that K/A importance ratings (except for plant-specific priorities) are at least 2.5.

E &f R

A d.

ES-401 BWR Examination Outline FORM ES-401-1 Note: 1. Ensure that at least two topics from every applicable WA category are sampled within each tier of the RO and SRO-only outlines (Le., except for one category in Tier 3 of the SRO-only outline, the "Tier Totals" in each WA category shall not be less than two).

2. The point total for each group and tier in the proposed outline must match that specified in the table.

The final point total for each group and tier may deviate by i1 from that specified in the table based on NRC revisions. The final RO exam must total 75 points and the SRO-only exam must total 25 points.

3. Systemdevolutions within each group are identified on the associated outline; systems or evolutions that do not apply at the facility should be deleted and justified; operationally important, site-specific systems that are not included on the outline should be added. Refer to ES-401, Attachment 2 , for guidance regarding the elimination of inappropriate WA statements.

4 Select topics from as many systems and evolutions as possible; sample every system or evolution in the group before selecting a second topic for any system or evolution.

5 Absent a plant-specific priority, only those WAS having an importance rating (IR) of 2.5 or higher shall be selected Use the RO and SRO ratings for the RO and SRO-only portions, respectively.

6. Select SRO topics for Tiers 1 and 2 from the shaded systems and WA categories.

7.' The generic (G) WASin Tiers 1 and 2 shall be selected from Section 2 of the WA Catalog, but the topics must be relevant to the applicable evolution or system.

a. On the following pages, enter the WA numbers, a brief descnption of each topic, the topics' importance ratings (IRs) for the applicable license level, and the point totals (#) for each system and category. Enter the group and tier totals for each category in the table above; if fuel handling equipment is sampled in other than Category A2 or G' on the SRO-only exam, enter it on the left side of Column A2 for Tier 2 , Group 2 (Note $1 does not apply). Use duplicate pages for RO and SRO-only exams.

9. For Tier 3, select topics from Section 2 of the WA catalog, and enter the WA numbers, descriptions, IRs, and point totals (#)on Form ES-401-3. Limit SRO selections to WAS that are linked to 10 CFR 55.43.

Summary of Systematic Random Selection Process 1 . Random Number Generator was used using Excel Spreadsheet RANDBETWEEN fimction to generate all random selections.

2. For All Tiers, Random Selection was used to generate KA Topics and Statements.

3. Commencing with Tier 1 Group 1, the random number 2 was generated for the first APE, 295001. An A m statement was randomly chosen using the Random Number Generator.

4. Systematic and uniform sampling was assured by progressing through KA Categories on the ES-401-1 form with the exception of APE 295016. No AK1 category topic exists. Randomly selected an AK2 statement and reverted to the previously described sequence on the next APE.This was noted on ES-40 1-4.

5. For Tier 1 Group 2, random number 2 was generated to select the first KA Category (K2). Random selection produced topics and statements with sequentially selected KA Categories (Kl, K2, K3, AI,A2, and G).

6. For Tier 2 Group 1, random number 7 was generated to select the first KA Category (A1 ). Random selection produced statements with sequentially selected KA Categories (KI,K2, K3, K4,K5,K6 A l , A2, A3, A4 and G).

7. For Tier 2 Group 2, random number 6 was generated to select the first KA Category (K6). Random selection produced systems and statements with sequentiaIIy seIected KA Categories (KI, K2, K3, A l , A2, and G).
