2013 DRESDEN NUCLEAR POWER STATION INITIAL LICENSE EXAMINATION PROPOSED EXAM FILES

ES-301 Operating Test Quality Checklist Form ES-301-3 Facility: Dresden Units 2 & 3 Date of Examination: 10/21/2013 Operating Test Number:

Initials

1. General Criteria a b* c#

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). c.QI1 NIA uv

~

b. There is no day-to-day repetition between this and other operating tests to be administered NIA ~\i) during this examination. CiJ"1

c. The operating test shall not duplicate items from the applicants' audit test(s). (see Section D.1.a.) Of!'? NIA ~\!.)

d. Overlap with the written examination and between different parts of the operating test is within NIA ~\)

acceptable limits. !cO?

e. It appears that the operating test will differentiate between competent and less-than-competent NIA ~\J applicants at the designated license level. I~

2. Walk-Through Criteria -- -- --

a.

Each JPM includes the following, as applicable:

initial conditions NIA initiating cues references and tools, including associated procedures reasonable and validated time limits (average time allowed for completion) and specific

. designation if deemed to be time-critical by the facility licensee ~'W operationally important specific performance criteria that include:

- detailed expected actions with exact criteria and nomenclature COJ

- 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 NIA outlines (Forms ES-301-1 and 2) have not caused the test to deviate from any of the acceptance cry ~w 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 accordance with CP7 NIA ~w Form ES-301-4 and a copy is attached.

~sden Units 2 & 3 Date of Exam: October 21, 2013 Scenario Numbers: 1 I 2 I 3 QUALITATIVE ATTRIBUTES Initials a b* c#

1. The initial conditions are realistic, in that some equipment and/or instrumentation may be out of service, but it does not cue the operators into expected events. 01'7 N/A ~~\.~

2. The scenarios consist mostly of related events. Clh; N/A ~

3. Each event description consists of N/A

• the point in the scenario when it is to be initiated

• the malfunction(s) that are entered to initiate the event

~~

4.

• the symptoms/cues that will be visible to the crew

• the expected operator actions (by shift position) the event termination point (if applicable)

No more than one non-mechanistic failure (e.g., pipe break) is incorporated into the scenario without a credible preceding incident such as a seismic event.

5. The events are valid with regard to physics and thermodynamics. I~ N/A ~\,)

6. Sequencing and timing of events is reasonable, and allows the examination team to obtain complete evaluation results commensurate with the scenario objectives. C"J N/A

7. If time compression techniques are used, the scenario summary clearly so indicates. N/A Operators have sufficient time to carry out expected activities without undue time constraints.

8. The simulator modeling is not altered. I~ N/A ~'J-'w

9. 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 N/A

~w to ensure that functional fidelity is maintained while running the planned scenarios.

10. Every operator will be evaluated using at least one new or significantly modified scenario. N/A '?)-.W All other scenarios have been altered in accordance with Section 0.5 of ES-301. ~
