Note: 1. | |||
Ensure that at least two topics from every applicable K/A category are sampled within each tier of the RO and SRO-only outline sections (i.e., except for one category in Tier 3 of the SRO-only section, the Tier Totals in each K/A category shall not be less than two). (One Tier 3 radiation control K/A is allowed if it is replaced by a K/A from another Tier 3 category.) | |||
: 2. | |||
The point total for each group and tier in the proposed outline must match that specified in the table. The final point total for each group and tier may deviate by +/-1 from that specified in the table based on NRC revisions. The final RO exam must total 75 points, and the SRO-only exam must total 25 points. | |||
: 3. | |||
Systems/evolutions within each group are identified on the outline. Systems or evolutions that do not apply at the facility should be deleted with justification. Operationally important, site-specific systems/evolutions that are not included on the outline should be added. Refer to Section D.1.b of ES-401 for guidance regarding the elimination of inappropriate K/A statements. | |||
: 4. | |||
Select topics from as many systems and evolutions as possible. Sample every system or evolution in the group before selecting a second topic for any system or evolution. | |||
: 5. | |||
Absent a plant-specific priority, only those K/As having an importance rating (IR) of 2.5 or higher shall be selected. Use the RO and SRO ratings for the RO and SRO-only portions, respectively. | |||
: 6. | |||
Select SRO topics for Tiers 1 and 2 from the shaded systems and K/A categories. | |||
: 7. | |||
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. Refer to Section D.1.b of ES-401 for the applicable K/As. | |||

On the following pages, enter the K/A numbers, a brief description of each topic, the topics IRs for the applicable license level, and the point totals (#) for each system and category. Enter the group and tier totals for each category in the table above. If fuel-handling equipment is sampled in a category other than Category A2 or G* on the SRO-only exam, enter it on the left side of Column A2 for Tier 2, Group 2. (Note 1 does not apply). Use duplicate pages for RO and SRO-only exams. | |||
: 9. | |||
For Tier 3, select topics from Section 2 of the K/A catalog and enter the K/A numbers, descriptions, IRs, and point totals (#) on Form ES-401-3. Limit SRO selections to K/As that are linked to 10 CFR 55.43. | |||

3, 4 In columns 3 and 4, check the box if there is no verifiable or required action, as applicable. Examples of required actions are as follows: (ES-301, D.5f) opening, closing, and throttling valves starting and stopping equipment raising and lowering level, flow, and pressure making decisions and giving directions acknowledging or verifying key alarms and automatic actions (Uncomplicated events that require no operator action beyond this should not be included on the operating test unless they are necessary to set the stage for subsequent events. (Appendix D, B.3).)
5 Check this box if the level of difficulty is not appropriate.
6 Check this box if the event has a TS.
7 Check this box if the event has a critical task (CT). If the same CT covers more than one event, check the event where the CT started only.
8 Check this box if the event overlaps with another event on any of the last two NRC examinations. (Appendix D, C.1.f) 9 Based on the reviewers judgment, is the event as written (U)nacceptable (requiring repair or replacement), in need of (E)nhancement, or (S)atisfactory? Mark the answer in column 9.
10 Record any explanations of the events here.
In the shaded boxes, sum the number of check marks in each column.
In column 1, sum the number of events.
In columns 2-4, record the total number of check marks for each column.
In column 5, based on the reviewer's judgement, place a checkmark only if the scenario's LOD is not appropriate.
In column 6, TS are required to be 2 for each scenario. (ES-301, D.5.d)
In column 7, preidentified CTs should be 2 for each scenario. (Appendix D; ES-301, D.5.d; ES-301-4)
In column 8, record the number of events not used on the two previous NRC initial licensing exams. A scenario is considered unsatisfactory if there is < 2 new events. (ES-301, D.5.b; Appendix D, C.1.f)

This number should match the respective scenario from the event-based scenario tables (the sum from columns 1, 6, and 7, respectively).
2, 4, 6 For each simulator scenario, evaluate each event, TS, and CT as (S)atisfactory, (E)nhance, or (U)nsatisfactory based on the following criteria:
- a.
Events. Each event is described on a Form ES-D-2, including all switch manipulations, pertinent alarms, and verifiable actions. Event actions are balanced between at-the-controls and balance-of-plant applicants during the scenario. All event-related attributes on Form ES-301-4 are met. Enter the total number of unsatisfactory events in column 2.
- b.
TS. A scenario includes at least two TS entries/actions across at least two different events. TS entries and actions are detailed on Form ES-D-2. Enter the total number of unsatisfactory TS entries/actions in column 4. (ES-301, D.5d)
- c.
CT. Check that a scenario includes at least two preidentified CTs. This criterion is a target quantitative attribute, not an absolute minimum requirement. Check that each CT is explicitly bounded on Form ES-D-2 with measurable performance standards (see Appendix D). Enter the total number of unsatisfactory CTs in column 6.
7 In column 7, calculate the percentage of unsatisfactory scenario elements:
8 If the value in column 7 is > 20%, mark the scenario as (U)nsatisfactory in column 8. If column 7 is 20%, annotate with (E)nhancement or (S)atisfactory.
9 In column 9, explain each unsatisfactory event, TS, and CT. Editorial comments can also be added here.
Save initial review comments and detail subsequent comment resolution so that each exam-bound scenario is marked by a (S)atisfactory resolution on this form.

ES-301 13 Form ES-301-7 Vogtle 1,2 2021-301 NRC Exam Operating Test Review Comments A) RO Admin JPMs a) RO Admin JPM a i) JPM is Satisfactory. Will validate with an operator during on-site validation.
b) RO Admin JPM b i) The concept of the JPM is good. The body of the JPM is constructed so that there is only one critical step containing the final answer. The JPM needs to be constructed to follow the steps of attachment 3. You could make a note in the body of the JPM that the highlighted portions of the key are critical steps. Each intermediate calculation is a critical step needed to arrive at the final answer. This will prevent an applicant from getting the correct answer for the wrong reason. The key is good. Will validate with an operator during on-site validation.
ii) 10/28/2021 - Licensee made corrections to address the concerns as stated above. The JPM is now Satisfactory.
c) RO admin JPM c i) Same comment as listed above for RO Admin JPM b. Will validate with an operator during on-site validation.
ii) 10/28/2021 - Licensee made corrections to address the concerns as stated above. The JPM is now Satisfactory.
d) RO admin JPM d i) Need to put varied radiation levels for the other rooms/compartments on the map for each level.
Otherwise, this is just a simple high school math problem. Will validate with an operator during on-site validation.
ii) 10/28/2021 - Licensee made corrections to address the concerns as stated above. The JPM is now Satisfactory.
B) SRO Admin JPMs a) SRO Admin JPM a i) Simply reviewing a task that an RO performed and identifying an error does not meet the requirements for an SRO Admin JPM. The skill set required to perform this task is no different than the skill set used on RO Admin JPM a. Performing the calculation/review and then identifying the appropriate technical specification entry, procedure to direct, etc. would turn this type of JPM into an SRO Admin JPM. SRO Admin JPMs should test knowledge/skills above that required for an RO.
ii) 10/28/2021 - Licensee submitted a different conduct of operations JPM that tests an SRO Technical Specification evaluation. This JPM is Satisfactory.
b) SRO Admin JPM b i) Other that giving the SRO applicants the step number to compare parameters given in the initial condition, this JPM does not require any SRO knowledge above that of an RO. The SRO would read step 20 to the ROs and they would be the ones to get the information. This is not an SRO level Administrative JPM.
ii) 10/28/2021 - Licensee submitted a different JPM that tests SRO procedure direction. The JPM is Satisfactory.
c) SRO Admin JPM c i) See comments above for RO JPMs a and b concerning intermediate critical steps. Will validate with an operator during on-site validation.
ii) 10/28/2021 - Licensee made corrections to address the concerns as stated above. The JPM is now Satisfactory.
ES-301 14 Form ES-301-7 d) SRO Admin JPM d i) Do not need to tell the applicant the reference to use when approving the dose extensions in the initiating cue. Would somebody tell them that when they are the Emergency Director? It is on the form they are looking at anyway. Will validate with an operator during on-site validation.
ii) 10/28/2021 - Licensee made corrections to address the concerns as stated above. The JPM is now Satisfactory.
e) SRO Admin JPM e i) Need to add something to the cue stating something to the effect that Emergency Directors Judgement should not be used for the classification.
ii) 10/28/2021 - Licensee made corrections to address the concerns as stated above. The JPM is now Satisfactory.
C) Simulator/In-Plant JPMs a) Simulator JPM a i) JPM is Satisfactory. Will validate with an operator during on-site validation.
b) Simulator JPM b i) JPM is Satisfactory. Will validate with an operator during on-site validation.
c) Simulator JPM c i) JPM is Satisfactory. Will validate with an operator during on-site validation.
d) Simulator JPM d i) JPM is Satisfactory. Will validate with an operator during on-site validation.
e) Simulator JPM e i) JPM is Satisfactory. Will validate with an operator during on-site validation.
f) Simulator JPM f i) JPM is Satisfactory. Will validate with an operator during on-site validation.
g) Simulator JPM g i) JPM is Satisfactory. Will validate with an operator during on-site validation.
h) Simulator JPM h i) JPM is Satisfactory. Will validate with an operator during on-site validation.
i) In-Plant JPM i i) JPM is Satisfactory. Will validate with an operator during on-site validation.
j) In-Plant JPM j i) JPM is Satisfactory. Will validate with an operator during on-site validation.
k) In-Plant JPM k i) JPM is Satisfactory. Will validate with an operator during on-site validation.
D) Simulator Scenarios a) Scenario #1 i) Event 9 (page 26 of 37) - Do not believe the answer to step 6.b (PRZR PORVs-CLOSED) is yes. 1PV-455 failed open in previous event.
ii) Will validate with operators during on-site validation.
iii) 10/28/2021 - Licensee submitted correction to event 9. Scenario #1 is now Satisfactory.
b) Scenario #2 i) No concerns identified during in-office review. Will validate with operators during on-site validation.
ii) 10/28/2021 - Due to reduction in number of applicants, Scenario #2 is not needed for this operating test.
c) Scenario #3 i) No concerns identified during in-office review. Will validate with operators during on-site validation.
ES-301 15 Form ES-301-7 d) Scenario #4 i) Event 2 - Does not really have verifiable actions for the OATC as is stated on the event description on the ES-D-1. None are needed because credit is only being given to the SS for the TS call.
ii) Event 7 - Need to discuss if tripping reactor coolant pumps is really a critical task for this scenario. Is the scenario set up where RCS inventory will be less than the critical inventory during the run time of the scenario?
iii) Will validate with operators during on-site validation.
iv) 10/28/2021 - Licensee submitted correction to verifiable action statement. Licensee verified that tripping RCPs is a critical task based on Westinghouse Owners group criteria. Event 3 was changed to a heater drain pump trip due to some similar symptoms/actions between the ACCW pump trip which was previously in the scenario and Event 4. This scenario is now Satisfactory. Scenario #4 has been designated as the spare scenario and will only be run if necessary.
e) Scenario #5 i) No concerns identified during in-office review. Will validate with operators during on-site validation.

- 1. I see where the reactor startup is required to be announced to plant personnel in 12003-1, but do not see where the Shift Supervisor is required to announce Mode 2 specifically. This is a potential cue since pulling control banks is what causes the mode change.
10/28/2021 - Licensee was unable to write an SRO only question to the original K/A.
Selected K/A G2.1.8. Licensee submitted a different question for the new K/A. The question is Satisfactory.

- 1. Question is Unsatisfactory due to more than on non-credible distractor. Replacing with a solid blue window is not credible. A semi-annual audit is also not very credible for disabled annunciators. With those distractors, this question is not discriminating at all.
10/28/2021 - Licensee changed the distractors to address the concerns as listed above. The question is now Satisfactory.

Vogtle 1&2 2021-301 Initial Operator License Exam Instructions
[Refer to Section D of ES-401 and Appendix B for additional information regarding each of the following concepts.]
- 1.
Enter the level of knowledge (LOK) of each question as either (F)undamental or (H)igher cognitive level.
- 2.
Enter the level of difficulty (LOD) of each question using a 1 - 5 (easy - difficult) rating scale (questions in the 2 - 4 range are acceptable).
- 3.
Check the appropriate box if a psychometric flaw is identified:
The stem lacks sufficient focus to elicit the correct answer (e.g., unclear intent, more information is needed, or too much needless information).
The stem or distractors contain cues (i.e., clues, specific determiners, phrasing, length, etc).
The answer choices are a collection of unrelated true/false statements.
The distractors are not credible; single implausible distractors should be repaired, more than one is unacceptable.
One or more distractors is (are) partially correct (e.g., if the applicant can make unstated assumptions that are not contradicted by stem).
- 4.
Check the appropriate box if a job content error is identified:
The question is not linked to the job requirements (i.e., the question has a valid K/A but, as written, is not operational in content).
The question requires the recall of knowledge that is too specific for the closed reference test mode (i.e., it is not required to be known from memory).
The question contains data with an unrealistic level of accuracy or inconsistent units (e.g., panel meter in percent with question in gallons).
The question requires reverse logic or application compared to the job requirements.
- 5.
Check questions that are sampled for conformance with the approved K/A and those that are designated SRO-only (K/A and license level mismatches are unacceptable).
- 6.
Enter question source: (B)ank, (M)odified, or (N)ew. Check that (M)odified questions meet criteria of ES-401 Section D.2.f.
- 7.
Based on the reviewers judgment, is the question as written (U)nsatisfactory (requiring repair or replacement), in need of (E)ditorial enhancement, or (S)atisfactory?
- 8.
At a minimum, explain any U ratings (e.g., how the Appendix B psychometric attributes are not being met).
