2013 DRESDEN NUCLEAR POWER STATION INITIAL LICENSE EXAMINATION PROPOSED EXAM FILES

ES-301 Operating Test Quality Checklist Form ES-301-3 Facility: Dresden Units 2 & 3 Date of Examination: 10/21/2013 Operating Test Number:

Initials

1. General Criteria a

b*

c#

a.

The operating test conforms with the previously approved outline; changes are consistent with c.QI1 NIA uv sampling requirements (e.g., 10 CFR 55.45, operational importance, safety function distribution).

~

b.

There is no day-to-day repetition between this and other operating tests to be administered CiJ"1 NIA

~\\i) during this examination.

c.

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

Of!'?

d.

acceptable limits.

e.

It appears that the operating test will differentiate between competent and less-than-competent I~

NIA

~\\J applicants at the designated license level.

2. Walk-Through Criteria

a.

Each JPM includes the following, as applicable:

NIA initial conditions initiating cues references and tools, including associated procedures reasonable and validated time limits (average time allowed for completion) and specific designation if deemed to be time-critical by the facility licensee

~'W operationally important specific performance criteria that include:

COJ 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 task 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 systems and administrative walk-through NIA

~w outlines (Forms ES-301-1 and 2) have not caused the test to deviate from any of the acceptance cry criteria (e.g., item distribution, bank use, repetition from the last 2 NRC examinations) specified on those forms and Form ES-201-2.

3. Simulator Criteria The associated simulator operating tests (scenario sets) have been reviewed in accordance with CP7 NIA ~w Form ES-301-4 and a copy is attached.
