ES-301 Operating Test Quality Checklist Form ES-301-3 K

Facility: G//&f Date of Examination: h/fh/bf Operatin[ 'est N u m b p '

1. General Criteria
a.

The operating test conforms with the previou!;ly approved outline; changes are consistent with sampling requirements (e.g., 10 CFR 55.45, operational importance, safety function distribution).

There is no day-to-day repetition between this and other operating tests to be administered during this examination.

The operating test shall not duplicate items from the applicants' audit test(s). (see Section D.1.a.)

Overlap with the written examination and between different parts of the operating test is within acceptable limits.

It appears that the operating test will differentiate between competent and less-than-competent applicants at the designated license level.

2. Walk-Through Criteria
a.

Each JPM includes the following, as applicable:

initial conditions initiating cues references and tools, including associatsd procedures reasonable and validated time limits (average time allowed for completion) and specific designation if deemed to be time-critical by the facility licensee operationally important specific perform 3nce criteria that include:

detailed expected actions with exa,:t criteria and nomenclature system response and other examirier cues statements describing important observations to be made by the applicant criteria for successful completion of the task identification of critical steps and their associated performance standards restrictions on the sequence of steps, if applicable Ensure that any changes from the previously E pproved systems and administrative walk-through outlines (Forms ES-301-1 and 2) have not caiised the test to deviate from any of the acceptance criteria (e.g.. item distribution, bank use, repetition from the last 2 NRC examinations) specified on those forms and Form ES-201-2.

ES-301 Transient and Event Checklist Form ES-301-5 Instructions:

1.

Check the applicant level and enter the operating test number and Form ES-D-1 event numbers for each event type; TS are not applicable for RO applicants. ROs must serve in both the at-the-controls (ATC) and balance-of-plant (BOP) positions; Inst,mt SROs must serve in both the SRO and the ATC positions, including at least two instrument or component ( K ) malfunctions and one major transient, in the ATC position. If an Instant SRO additionally serves in the BOP position, one IIC malfunction can be credited toward the two IIC malfunctions required for the ATC position.

Reactivity manipulations may be conducted under normal or controlled abnormal conditions (refer to Section D.5.d) but must be significant per Section C.2.a of Appendix D. (*) Reactivity and normal evolutions may be replaced with additional instrument or component malfunctions on a l-for-I basis.

Whenever practical, both instrument and component malfunctions should be included; only those that require verifiable actions that provide insight to the applicants competence count toward the minimum requirements specified for the applicants license level in the riqht-hand columns.
