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.
