Ensure that at least two topics from every applicable K/A category are sampled within each tier of the RO and SRO-only outlines (i.e., except for one category in Tier 3 of the SRO-only outline, the Tier Totals in each K/A category shall not be less than two). (One Tier 3 Radiation Control K/A is allowed if the K/A is replaced by a K/A from another Tier 3 Category).
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 +/-1 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. Systems/evolutions within each group are identified on the associated outline; systems or evolutions that do not apply at the facility should be deleted with justification; operationally important, site-specific systems/evolutions that are not included on the outline should be added. Refer to Section D.1.b of ES-401 for guidance regarding the elimination of inappropriate K/A 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 K/As 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 K/A categories.
7. The generic (G) K/As in Tiers 1 and 2 shall be selected from Section 2 of the K/A Catalog, but the topics must be relevant to the applicable evolution or system. Refer to Section D.1.b of ES-401 for the applicable K/As.
8. On the following pages, enter the K/A numbers, a brief description 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 a category 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 K/A catalog, and enter the K/A numbers, descriptions, IRs, and point totals (#) on Form ES-401-3. Limit SRO selections to K/As that are linked to 10 CFR 55.43.

Tier / Randomly Selected Reason for Rejection Group K/A 1/1 APE 025 G2.4.30 The generic portion of the KA tests knowledge an SRO needs for making notifications. It is more suited for an (Outline Question 7) SRO question. Therefore the KA was replaced with APE 025 G2.4.8.

1/1 APE 026 AA1.04 This KA tests knowledge of CCW and how it relates to CRDM high temperature alarms. At STP, CRDMs are not (Outline Question 8) directly cooled by CCW. Therefore the KA was replaced with APE 026 AA1.05.

1/2 APE 076 G2.2.3 The generic portion of the KA tests knowledge of the differences between Unit 1 and 2 in regards to High (Outline Question 25) Reactor Coolant Activity. There is no difference between the Units associated with High Reactor Coolant Activity.

Therefore the KA was replaced with APE 076 G2.2.44.

2/1 006 K6.18 This KA tests knowledge of subcooling margin indicators as it relates to ECCS. A question for this (Outline Question 33)

KA would be similar to a question for KA EPE 009 EA1.16. (Outline Question 3) Therefore the KA was replaced with 006 K6.02.

2/1 008 G2.4.21 The generic portion of the KA tests knowledge of Safety Function parameters and logic. Component (Outline Question 35)

Cooling Water does not input into Safety Function parameters and logic. Therefore the KA was replaced with 008 G.2.4.50.

2/1 010 K4.02 NOTE: A Tier 2, Group 4, K4 question was missing from the original outline. 010 K4.02 was randomly (Outline Question 37) selected to make up for the missing question.

2/1 022 A4.03 This KA tests the ability to operate and/or monitor Containment Cooling dampers. There are no (Outline Question 40)

Containment Cooling dampers to operate or monitor. Therefore the KA was replaced with 022 A4.04.

2/1 103 A3.07 NOTE: This is an administrative change only. There is no KA 103 A3.07. The KA should have been 103 (Outline Question 53)

A3.02 and has been properly corrected.

2/2 027 A4.02 This KA tests knowledge of remote operation of Containment Iodine filters. At STP, operations has (Outline Question 61) no interface with the Containment Iodine filters.

Therefore the KA was replaced with 027 A4.03.

Tier / Randomly Selected Reason for Rejection Group K/A 2/2 072 G2.2.4 The generic portion of this KA tests the variations in control board/control room layouts and other (Outline Question 64) differences between the Units associated with Area Radiation Monitoring. At STP there are no differences between the Units associated with Area Radiation Monitoring. Therefore the KA was replaced with 072 G.2.1.19.

3/2 G2.2.17 This generic KA tests knowledge of managing maintenance activities. It is better suited for an SRO (Outline Question 68) question. Therefore the KA was replaced with G.2.2.3.

Ensure that at least two topics from every applicable K/A category are sampled within each tier of the RO and SRO-only outlines (i.e., except for one category in Tier 3 of the SRO-only outline, the Tier Totals in each K/A category shall not be less than two). (One Tier 3 Radiation Control K/A is allowed if the K/A is replaced by a K/A from another Tier 3 Category).
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 +/-1 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. Systems/evolutions within each group are identified on the associated outline; systems or evolutions that do not apply at the facility should be deleted with justification; operationally important, site-specific systems/evolutions that are not included on the outline should be added. Refer to Section D.1.b of ES-401 for guidance regarding the elimination of inappropriate K/A 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 K/As 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 K/A categories.
7. The generic (G) K/As in Tiers 1 and 2 shall be selected from Section 2 of the K/A Catalog, but the topics must be relevant to the applicable evolution or system. Refer to Section D.1.b of ES-401 for the applicable K/As.
8. On the following pages, enter the K/A numbers, a brief description 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 a category 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 K/A catalog, and enter the K/A numbers, descriptions, IRs, and point totals (#) on Form ES-401-3. Limit SRO selections to K/As that are linked to 10 CFR 55.43.
