Instructions for Completing Matrix This form is not contained in or required by NUREG-1021. Utilities are not required or encouraged to use it. The purpose of this form is to enhance regional consistency in reviewing operating tests. Additional information on these areas may be found in Examination Good Practices Appendix D. Check or mark any item(s) requiring comment and explain the issue in the space provided.

1. Determine whether the task is dynamic (D) or static (S). A dynamic task is one that involves continuous monitoring and response to varying parameters. A static task is basically a system reconfiguration or realignment.
2. Determine level of difficulty (LOD) using established 1-5 rating scale. Levels 1 and 5 represent inappropriate (low or high) discriminatory level for the license being tested.
3. Check the appropriate box when an attribute weakness is identified:
  • The initiating cue is not sufficiently clear to ensure the operator understands the task and how to begin.
  • The JPM does not contain sufficient cues that are objective (not leading).
  • All critical steps (elements) have not been properly identified. 0 Page 1 of 6 OBDI 202 - IOLE Process
  • Scope of the task is either too narrow (N) or too broad (B).
  • Excessive overlap with other part of operating test or written examination.
4. Check the appropriate box when a job content error is identified:
  • Topics not linked to job content (e.g., disguised task, not required in real job).
  • Task is trivial and without safety significance.
5. Based on the reviewer=s judgment, is the JPM as written (U)nacceptable (requiring repair or replacement), in need of (E)ditorial enhancement, or (S)atisfactory?

10. Explanation (See below for instructions)

Set ES TS Crit IC Pred TL L/C Eff U/E/S 1 X X X E Add IRM D INOP to turnover sheet to ensure event 3 is an actual TS entry. Potential LCOs dont count.

Added IRM D inop but not bypassed to make IRM H and actual LCO condition entry.

Auto-trigger steam leak when 5 rods are full-in. Auto trigger and booth operator backup instructions added.

Add steps pg 23 for MSIV low level and RPS jumpers. Added steps from 5.8.3 and 5.8.20 for RPS and MSIV jumper installation.

Event 5 Add reference to potential TS 3.3.8.1, and TS 3.4.5 for follow-up. Added reference to 3.3.8.2, RPS EPA Bkrs, (not 3.3.8.1 LOP instrumentation, I had mis-noted it) and TS 3.4.5, for DW atmospheric monitor, and accommodated follow-up question.

Specify Max Safe Temp Limit in critical task. Specified 195°F in parenthesis.

2 X X S Add PC Flooding entry criteria to critical task.

Added PC Flooding entry criteria.

Event 4: Add applicable TS if DW pressure > 0.75psig (3.6.1.4?)

Added potential to enter TS 3.6.1.4. Also added TS 3.4.1 for single loop operation and Stability Exclusion region entry.

Post-major: add 5.3EMPWR actions to D-2.

Added actions for REC and Air Compressors from 5.3EMPWR.

3 X E Event 2: Lower power to 98%. Event 2 is now reduce power to 98%.

Initial power should be 100%. Initial condition is now 100% power.

Also revised end point to All Rods In and revised simulator file to auto delete ATWS when ATC resets the scram.

4 X E Eliminate failed APRM A in initial conditions. Event 2 will remain for a board operator bean, but will not be credited for a TS entry. This is because crew may take no action with 1 APRM already bypassed. Deleted APRM A inop from initial conditions.

Add another event for TS entry (MSL Rad Mon A fails downscale).

Added MSL Rad Monitor A downscale, TS 3.3.6.1 as event 3. Revised subsequent event numbers.

Event 4: Add note that if crew scrams, FW break is auto-triggered.

Added auto trigger to simulator file and scenario notes that FW line break will auto trigger if crew prematurely scrams (if RPS A and B are de-energized).

6. TL: Time line constructed, including event and process triggered conditions, such that scenario can run without routine examiner cuing.
7. L/C: Length and complexity for each scenario in the set is reasonable for the crew mix being examined, such that all applicants have reasonably similar exposure and events are needed for evaluation purposes.
8. Eff: Sequence of events is reasonably efficient for examination purposes, especially with respect to long delays or interactions.
9. Based on the reviewer=s judgment, rate the scenario set as (U)nacceptable (requiring repair or replacement), in need of (E)ditorial enhancement, or (S)atisfactory.
