Here are the changes requested upon the initial review. I will determine if more changes are required as I develop exam questions. The password is the same as before.

PVNGS Draft Outline Comments (completed 9/13/04)

Changes marked in red and line outs Operating Exam

1. The outline only shows one JPM as a repeat - Emergency/Abnormal Plant Evolutions (EAPE)

Item 3, A032 Loss of a Startup Channel During Refueling@ from the 2002 exam. However EAPE Item 1 (loss of inventory in the refuel pool) could possibly be similar to JPM B4 from the 2002 exam which dealt with loss of spent fuel pool level. I need to check this JPM once the exam comes in for review. This JPM is significantly different from the previous JPM given in 2002. (Completed)

2. Need K/A numbers for Systems and EAPE JPMs and importance ratings for all JPMs.

Completed on 9/9/04, when Phil sent in completed written and operating outline. Discussed this with him verbally. (Completed)

Written Exam

3. Reviewed the licensee random and systematic process for selecting K/As and I followed this up with a phone conversation. I have no concerns with their selection process. Ensured that their selection process was random and systematic all the way to the actual K/A selection.

4. Under the heading K/A Topic(s), include a short written description of the K/A.

(Completed)

5. For Tier 2 - K/A 034A1.02 similar to K/A 002A1.11 -> both deal with inventory loss. Need to review questions for these two K/As to ensure not oversampling. 002A1.11 rejected and resampled within the same sytem. 034A1.02 rejected and resampled within same system.

(Also, this is the same as item 6.b below) (Completed)

6. Possible duplication between written and operating outlines as follows:

a) JPM EAPE #3 (K/A 032AA2.02), loss of startup channel during refueling and written outline Tier 1, K/A 032AK3.02, guidance contained in EOP for loss of source-range nuclear instrumentation. 032AK3.02 rejected and resampled within SR NI system.

(Completed) b) JPM EAPE #1 (K/A 025AA1.02), loss of SDC - loss of inventory in refuel pool and written outline K/A 034A1.02 similar to K/A 002A1.11 -> both deal with inventory loss. Recommend changing one of the written K/As or the JPM. Oversampling on dealing with loss of inventory. 002A1.11 rejected and resampled within the same sytem.(Completed)

(Changed 034 Fuel Handling Equipment from A1.02 to A1.01, load limit KA)

7. Rejected a previous outline KA (Tier 2, 32002A1.11) as not being applicable to the LSRO Job Function and replaced with 32002K6.14. This was discussed via telecom with Mark Haire on 10/01/04.

8. Rejected a previous outline KA (Tier 1, 42032AK3.02). There is no EOP/AOP guidance for loss of SR NI. Another KA was randomly sampled from within the same system.

(42032AK201). Reviewed with Mark Haire on site the week of 11/30/04.

3. Generic Knowledge and 1 2 3 4 GFE Abilities Categories 10 2 2 2 2 2 Note: 1. Ensure that at least one topic from every K/A category is sampled within each tier.

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

The final point total for each tier may deviate by +/-1 from that specified in the table based on NRC revisions.

The final exam must total 40 points.

3. Select topics from many systems and evolutions; avoid selecting more than two K/A topics from a given system (except fuel handling equipment) or evolution (except refueling accident).

4. The shaded areas are not applicable to the category/tier.

5.* 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.

6. If the applicants have not previously taken the GFE, Tier 3 shall include basic reactor theory, component, and thermodynamic topics that apply to fuel handling operations.

7. Systems/evolutions within each tier are identified on the associated outline. Enter the K/A numbers, a brief description of each topic, the topics importance ratings (IR) for the SRO license level, and the point totals (#)

for each system and category. Enter the tier totals for each category in the table above.

8. For Tier 3, select topics from Section 2 of the K/A catalog, and enter the K/A numbers, descriptions, importance ratings, and point totals (#) on Form ES-701-3.

9. Refer to ES-401, Attachment 2, for guidance regarding the elimination of inappropriate K/A statements. The facility licensees JTA for fuel handlers should be used as the basis for eliminating or adding testable topics.
