NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Knowledge and Abilities Catalog Revision; Notice of Availability
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Notice of availability.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: NUREG-1122, ``Knowledge and Abilities Catalog for Nuclear
Power Plant Operators: Pressurized Water Reactors,'' and NUREG-1123,
``Knowledge and Abilities Catalog for Nuclear Power Plant Operators:
Boiling Water Reactors,'' were developed in 1985 to assist operator
licensing examiners in the development of content valid written and
operating examinations to administer to reactor plant operators and
senior operators.
The Knowledge and Abilities (K/A) catalogs have been revised to
resolve inconsistencies between the two catalogs and inconsistencies in
content within the K/A catalogs. The revision also incorporates
evolutionary changes in the operator licensing program and revised
definition of operator's tasks within facility licensee's
organizations.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission held public workshops on
August 2-5, 1994, and conducted discussions regarding the draft
revisions to the K/A catalogs. The results of the workshops have been
incorporated into a draft revision to the K/A catalogs.
The Commission believes that it would be beneficial to obtain
public comment on this revision from all interested parties. After
considering public comments, the NRC staff expects to issue the revised
K/A catalogs for use in operator licensing examinations.
DATES: Comment period ends January 6, 1995. Comments received after
this date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but the
Commission is able to assure consideration only for comments received
on or before this date.
