a. Each JPM indudes the following, as applicable:

initial conditions initiatingcues references and tools, including assodated procedures reasonableand validated time limits {averaw time allowed for completion) and spedfic designation if deemed to be time critical by the tacility licensee operationally important specific performance aiteria that indude:

- detailedexpected actions with exact aiteria and nomenclature

- system response and other examiner cues

- statements desaibing important observationsto be made by the applicant

- criteria for successful completion of the task

- idenfication of critical steps and their asstrdated performancestandards

- resbidons OR the sequence of steps, if applicable

b. Ensure that any changes from the previouslyapprovedsystems and administrativewalk-through outlines ( F o m ES-301-1 and 2) have not caused the test to deviate from any of the acceptance a'teria (e.g., item distribution, bank use, repetition from the last 2 NRCexaminations)specified on those f o m and Form ES-201-2.

1. The initial conditions are realistic, in that some equipment andlor insbumentationmay be out of service, but it does not cue the operators into expected events. &4- @o -fe 2.

3.

The scenarios consist mostly of related events.

Each event desaiption consists of (70 zc-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 sh& position) the event termination point (if applicable)

4. No more than one non-mechanisticfailure (e.g., pipe break) is incorporated into the scenario without a credible precedingincident such as a seivnic event.

5. The events are valid with regard to physics and thermodynamics.

6. Sequendngand timing of events is reasonable, and attows the examinationteam to obtain mrnolete evaluation results commensurate with the scenario obiedves.

7. If time compression techniques are used. the scenario summary dearly so indicates.

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

Cues are given.

8. The simulator modeling is not altered. (pg 4

9. The scenarios have been validated. Pursuant to IOCl%55,46(d), any open simulator performance defiaenaes or deviations from the referenced plant have been evaluated to ensure that functional fidelitv is maintainedwhile runninq the planned scenarios.

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

All other scenarios have been altered in accordance with Sedion D.5 of ES-301.

11.

12.

All individual operator competenaescan be evaluated, as verified using Form ES301-6 (submit the form along With the simulator scenarios).

Each applicant will be significantly involved in the minimum number of transients and events
