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
