c. Ensure that all scenarios are new or significantly modified in accordance with ES-3.4 Y N/A Y and that no scenarios are duplicated from the applicants audit test(s).
d. To the extent possible, assess whether the outline(s) conforms with the qualitative and Y N/A Y quantitative simulator set criteria specified on Form 2.3-2.
a. Verify that the administrative outline meets the criteria specified in the instructions on Y N/A Y Form 3.2-1 and that no tasks are duplicated from the applicants audit test(s).
b. Verify that the control room and in-plant systems outline meets the criteria specified in the instructions on Form 3.2-2 and that no tasks are duplicated from the applicants Y N/A Y audit test(s).
c. Determine whether the number of job performance measures (JPMs) and JPM types is sufficient for the projected number and mix of applicants and ensure that no items are Y N/A Y duplicated on subsequent days.
a. Assess whether the appropriate exam sections cover plant-specific priorities (including Y N/A Y probabilistic risk assessment and individual plant examination insights).
b. Assess whether the 10 CFR 55.41, 10 CFR 55.43, and 10 CFR 55.45 sampling is Y N/A Y appropriate.
c. Check whether K/A importance ratings (except for plant-specific priorities) are greater Y N/A Y than or equal to 2.5.
d. Check for duplication and overlap across the exam and with the last two NRC exams. Y N/A Y

Form 2.3-2 Operating Test Quality Checklist

Facy: Calvert Cliffs D*inatio 7/11/2022 Opering Ttber: 2022

General Criteria (Y)es / (N)o a b* c#

a. The operating test meets the criteria on the associated test outline. Y Y
b. There are enough test items so that test items will not be repeated on more than 1 day ofY Y the operating test.
c. The operating test does not duplicate items from the applicants audit test(s). Y Y
d. Overlap with the written examination and between different parts of the operating test is Y Y minimized.
e. It appears that the operating test will differentiate between competent and Y Y less-than-competent applicants at the designated license level.

Walkthrough Criteria

a. Each job performance measure (JPM) includes the following, as applicable:
  • t ask standard
  • initial conditions
  • initiating cues
  • references and tools, including associated procedures
  • reasonable and validated time limits (average time allowed for completion) and specific designation if the facility licensee deems it to be time critical
  • alternate path JPMs are labeled as alternate path Y Y
  • operationally important specific performance criteria that include the following:

- detailed expected actions with exact criteria and nomenclature

- system response and other examiner cues

- statements describing important observations to be made by the applicant

- criteria for successful completion of the JPM task standard

- 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 JPM outlines (Forms 3.2-1 and 3.2 -2) have not caused the test to deviate from any of the acceptance criteria (e.g., item Y Y distribution, bank use, repetition from the last two NRC examinations) specified on those forms.

Simulator Scenario Set Criteria for Scenario Numbers: / /

QUALITATIVE ATTRIBUTES

1. The initial conditions are realistic in that some equipment and/or instrumentation may beY Y out of service, but it does not cue the operators into expected events.
2. The scenarios consist mostly of related events. Y Y
3. Each event description consists of the following:
  • the point in the scenario when it is to be initiated
  • the malfunction(s) or conditions that are entered to initiate the event
  • the symptoms/cues that will be visible to the crew
  • the expected operator actions (by shift position)
  • the eventminatioiiflica (Y)es / (N)o QUALITATIVE ATTRIBUTES (c ontinued) a b* c#
4. The events are valid with regard to physics and thermodynamics. Y Y
5. The sequencing and timing of events is reasonable and allows the examination team to Y Y observe and evaluate applicant performance.
6. If time compression techniques are used, the scenario summary clearly so indicates. Y Y Operators have sufficient time to carry out expected activities without undue time constraints. Cues are given.
7. The simulator modeling is not altered. Y Y
8. The scenarios have been validated. Pursuant to 10 CFR 55.46(d), any open simulator Y Y performance deficiencies or deviations from the referenced plant have been evaluated to ensure that functional fidelity is maintained while running the planned scenarios.
9. Scenarios are new or significantly modified in accordance with ES-3.4. Y Y
10. Scenarios (as grouped) allow each applicant to be significantly involved in the minimum Y Y number of transients, events, and evolutions specified on the version of Form 3.4-1 submitted with the scenario set.
11. Applicants are evaluated on a similar number of preidentified critical tasks across Y Y scenarios, when possible.
12. The level of difficulty is appropriate to support licensing decisions for each crew position. Y Y Actual Attributes by (Y)es / (N)o TARGET QUANTITATIVE ATTRIBUTES per Scenario (See ES -3.4) Scenario No.
