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 were
revised in 1995 to resolve inconsistencies between the two catalogs and
inconsistencies in content within the K/A catalogs. Revision 1 also
incorporated evolutionary changes in the operator licensing program and
revised definition of operator's tasks within facility licensee's
organizations.
The current Revision 2 incorporates corrections to the Revision 1
catalogs that were identified during examination development associated
with a proposed revision of 10 CFR 55 and implementation of NUREG-1021,
Interim Rev. 8, ``Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power
Reactors.'' Revision 2 of the respective K/A catalogs has been prepared
for use in conjunction with the implementation of NUREG-1021, final
Revision 8, but may be used immediately.
Copies of NUREG-1122, Revision 2 and NUREG-1123, Revision 2 may be
