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.
