Explanation Bank.

New.

New. LOD = 1. Knowledge of lens colors. With a PZR PORV and its block valve open, it is quite logical that this is causing the RCS pressure decrease.

RESOLUTION: Replaced question.

Bank. 1) In distractor B, delete through IMO-910, since other distractors do NOT mention valve numbers. 2) Re-word distractor B to be similar to distractor A: Both operating charging pumps will receive suction flow from the RWST.

RESOLUTION: changed B. to will receive flow and removed through IMO-910.

Instructions

[Refer to Section D of ES-401 and Appendix B for additional information regarding each of the following concepts.]

1.

2.

3.

Enter the level of knowledge (LOK) of each question as either (F)undamental or (H)igher cognitive level 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).

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 truelfalse statements.

More than one distractor is not credible.

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 WA 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 (Le., 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.

6.

Check questions that are sampled for conformance with the approved KIA and those that are designated SRO-only (KIA and license level mismatches are unacceptable).

Based on the reviewers judgment, is the question as written (U)nacceptable (requiring repair or replacement), in need of (E)ditorial enhancement, or (S)atisfactoV

7.

At a minimum, explain any U ratings (e.g., how the Appendix B psychometric attributes are not being met).

Explanation Bank. 1) Add to distractor B at the end of the sentence:... and trip the No.

3 RCP after the reactor is shutdown. 2) Distractor C is NOT plausible.

Change to: Do NOT trip the reactor. Trip the No. 3 RCP and be in Hot Standby within one hour. 3) Distractor D -Add: Do NOT trip the reactor as a first sentence.

RESOLUTION: B. added after the reactor is shutdown; C. and D. starts with Do NOT trip the reactor; C. ends with Be in Hot Standby in 1 hour1.157407e-5 days 2.777778e-4 hours 1.653439e-6 weeks 3.805e-7 months .

Bank. 1) Change distactor A to be an observable parameter (Le. Charging flow will RISE). 2) Change distractor C to PRZ level will LOWER for symmetry with new distractor A above.

RESOLUTION: A. changed to Charging flow vs. RCS mass; C. changed to PRZ level will lower.

Bank. Distractor C requires knowledge from memory of the conversion of the Boric Acid Storage Tank level from % to gallons as given by an engineering calculation. This knowledge seems too detailed to require an RO to know from memory. Why would the RO be expected to know this from memory3 RESOLUTION: Added 12-Figure 19.17 pt. 1. and 2. as handout. Also capitalized Meets in stem, changed answer to 64 degrees F.

Bank.

Bank. B. addedpositive reactivity changes.

Bank. 1) Change distractor C from 141 % to 140%. 2) Add the Approx. at the beginning of distractors A, B, and C.

RESOLUTION: Added Approximately to A.,B., and C. Changed C. to 140.

Bank.

Bank. In distractor C, change would to could.

RESOLUTION: Comment incorporated.

Modified.

Bank. In distractor B, add the word the at the beginning to make the English correct.

RESOLUTION: Comment incorporated.

New. Q # WA. The WA is related to the knowledge of the interrelationship between an accidental liquid rad release and the radioactive gas monitors. The question asks what actions are required for a high radiation alarm on a gaseous rad monitor for a leak.

RESOLUTION: Re-worded stem with which is true and modified distractors to reflect a knowledge requirement instead of an action.

New. 1) Distractor C is NOT plausible. Change to: Perform a controlled rapid shutdown per -,

since RCS leakage is greater than the Tech Spec allowable value. 2) In distractor A, add the word controlled in front of rapid shutdown and state the procedure to be used for the rapid shutdown (Le., per -).

RESOLUTION: A. added procedure number and name. C. changed to rapid shutdown since greater than Tech Spec limit.

6. I U

7.

Modified. 1) Distractor C is NOT plausible, since one would NOT stop CS pumps when containment pressure exceeded a certain pressure (would only stop CS pumps when containment pressure was less than a certain value). Did you mean to say that: Containment pressure is allowed to rise to 12 psig with NO CS pumps running? 2) Distractor D is NOT plausible, since a ruptured SG would NOT be expected to be addressed in a containment high pressure procedure (since a ruptured SG would NOT be contributing to a containment pressure rise). Change distractor D to: a faulted steam generator is NOT isolated to allow for additional RCS cooldown. 3) In the question stem, delete the word the at the end of the stem, and add the word the to the beginning of distractors A and D to make the distractors grammatically correlate with the stem.

RESOLUTION: Changed C. to 12 psig with NO CTS pumps. Changed D. to faulted from ruptured. Removed the from stem and added to A.

Bank. In the question stem, change hot shutdown to hot standby, since the plant would be in hot standby (RCS temperature greater than 350°F) following a plant trip.

RESOLUTION: Comment incorporated.

Bank.

E Modified. Distractor C is NOT plausible. It is obvious that adding makeup to the RWST and reducing to one train of ECCS has nothing to do with restoring emergency coolant recirculation capability.

RESOLUTION: C. changed to Establish conditions to restart RCP.

E Page 4 of 14 Modified. 1) Distractor B is ambiguous in that does it mean level in at least one SG, and does it mean total AFW flow? 2) Distractor D has a reason for performing the action, whereas the other distractors do NOT. Delete the reason in distractor 0.

RESOLUTION: Changed B. to read like C. with condition of at least 1 SG areater than 13%. Remove to reduce cooldown rate from D.

S E

Modified.

Bank. Changed protection setpoints to High Power Reactor Trip protection setpoints.

UIEIS Explanation E

Bank. 1) Distractor A - add the following words at the end of the sentence to make this distractor clearer: rods have dropped (and add a period at the end of the sentence).

2) To make distractor C more plausible, change distractor C to: An ATWS has occurred, since more than a single dropped rod should have resulted in a reactor trip.

RESOLUTION: Added to A. is provided to determine whether any rods have dropped. Changed beginning of C. to An ATWS condition has occurred since...

Bank. 1) Distractor B is NOT plausible, since this would imply that the original coincidence was 114. 2) Distractor C is NOT plausible, since this would imply that the original coincidence was 3/4. Suggest the following new question: PZR pressure channel -

has failed high ( NOTE: This needs to be a channel associated with the low PZR pressure SI). The bistables associated with the failed channel have been tripped per -.

The Unit is now in Mode 3 at full RCS temperature and pressure. An RCS cooldown and depressurization is about to commence to cold shutdown.

During the RCS depressurization, what is the REMAINING coincidence associated with P-I 1 (with the failed channel deleted) to allow blocking Low PZR Pressure SI?

A. 2 of 3 channels below P-I 1 (NOTE: The applicant may believe this distractor to be true if he thinks that the failed PZR pressure channel was NOT associated with the Low PZR Pressure SI function. )

B. 1 of 2 channels below P-I 1 C. 2 of 2 channels below P-I 1 ( I believe this is correct answer)

D. Can NOT block Low PZR Pressure SI without untripping bistable associated with P-I 1 for the failed channel.

RESOLUTION: Licensee stated that as originally written there was a 50%

failure rate during validation. Changed stem, answer, and distractors to ask for remaining SI and CTS coincidence with 1 containment pressure channel failed (required modification to question 103 to eliminate double jeopardy.

S IBank.

H 3

S I New. Changed RCS T-hot to 608 degrees F vs 560 degrees F.

E Bank. Distractor D is NOT plausible, since it has the same temperature of 400°F as in distractor C. Pick new values for distractor D so that all distractors have different values listed. For example, pick 450 psig and 430°F for distractor D, and then switch the order of distractors C and D.

RESOLUTION: Move old C. to D. as new correct answer. Change C. to 450 tlsia and 430 dearees F.

Unless the operator coordinates with Chemistry and watches the R-19 rad monitor while Chemistry selects individual SGs to sample, R-19 only provides indication that there is a tube leak somewhere in at least one of the SGs.

Explanation

New. LOD = 1. Change question so that a large break LOCA has occurred and the crew is implementing ECA-1.I, Loss of Emergency Coolant Recirculation instead of E-I. Then ask which procedure(s) have priority for implementation and why (Le., FR-C.2 (correct answer), FR-Z.l (incorrect), ECA-1.I (incorrect), or ECA-1.1 while also performing FR-Z.l (incorrect).

RESOLUTION: Incorporated comment as described.

Bank. Distractor D (listed as the correct answer) can be construed to be incorrect, since one does NOT run the second CCP as long as it continues to operate, but it is run until establishment of CVCS crosstie from Unit 1.

Add to stem that the Unit 1 CVCS crosstie for seal cooling is 00s closed.

RESOLUTION: Added to stem that CVCS crosstie is not available.

New. Distractors A and D are NOT plausible. The fact that the Reactor trip breakers indicate GREEN when OPEN and indicate RED when CLOSED is basic knowledge for any breaker.

. Also, during a light on the RCP Oil Lift Pump will illuminate RCP shutdown while in Hot Standby, the RCP Oil Lift Pump is A. after 2 minutes if the RCP Oil Lift Pump has developed sufficient pressure; required by procedure to be started.

B. after 2 minutes if the RCP Oil Lift Pump has developed sufficient pressure; NOT required by procedure to be started.

C. when the RCP Oil Lift Pump has developed sufficient pressure (independent of time); required by procedure to be started.

D. when the RCP Oil Lift Pump has developed sufficient pressure (independent of time); NOT required by procedure to be started.

Explanation

New. Will loss of 600 volt bus EZC-C affect the opening of control air to containment valves 2-XCR-100, 101, 102, and 103, and thus affect the correct answer (distractor B)?

RESOLUTION: Need to ask the utility this question.

Modified.

Bank. To make distractor D more plausible, change to: "Place the PORVs in CLOSE until required for an inadequate core cooling condition."

RESOLUTION: Comment incorporated.

Modified.

Bank.

Modified.

New.

Bank. Distractor B is NOT plausible (to require a recorder to operate for the Containment Ice Condenser to be operable).

RESOLUTION: 6. changed to "One glycol circulating pump will NOT operate."

Bank. Change distractor B to: "Removal of hydrogen in the containment atmosphere is lower due to the higher iodine present", in order to NOT mention explicitly the fact that there has been a reduction in the amount of sodium hydroxide injected.

RESOLUTION: B. changed to "the higher iodine concentration."

Modified.

New. Distractor B is NOT plausible (to reset the trip and throttle valve by closing and then opening the AFW Pump Turbine steam supply MOVs).

Delete the words : "by closing and then".

RESOLUTION: Comment incorporated.

Modified.

Bank. LOD= 1. Instead of having distractors A, C, and D have all incorrect sources of input to the RCDT, have at least one input be to the RCDT in these distractors. Otherwise, LOD= 1.

RESOLUTION: Added 1 RCDT input to each distractor: A. excess letdown HX; C. RCS loop drains; D. Rx Vessel flange UO.

Modified. 1) Distractor A could also be considered correct, since the action to slowly open the door in case water is above the sill would be a good personal safety practice. 2) The reason given for distractor A being incorrect does NOT fit distractor A.

RESOLUTION: Changed distractor A. to Open 2-DR-271 to drain ESW pipe tunnel to the sub-basement.

New. 1) Reword distractor B to: The Train B Safety Injection signal will reset, but the Train B Auto Safety Injection Actuation will NOT be blocked.

2) In distractor C, change ECCS to safeguards since safeguards equipment other than ECCS equipment could have been affected (e.g.,

Service Water pumps).

RESOLUTION: Distractor B is correct as written. Changed from Containment to Pressurizer pressure to avoid double jeopardy with question 37. Changed ECCS to safeguards in C. Changed signal to actuation in stem.

Bank.

New. 1) The question in the stem refers to the I... impact this leak rate

.... This phrase should be reworded to... impact this seal line resistance

... 2) Distractors A, B, and C are NOT plausible. 3) In distractor D delete the word Projected. 4) One distractor could be: RCP seal cooling may NOT be sufficient following an RCP thermal barrier rupture event. 5)

Another distractor could be: Auxiliary spray may NOT be available to depressurize the RCS. 6) Another distractor could be: RCP seal cooling may NOT be sufficient following a loss of CC to the RCP thermal barrier.

RESOLUTION: Change stem to seal line resistance. Change A.-

auxiliary spray inadequate; B.- seal injection inadequate during thermal barrier rupture; C.- CCP minimum flow in inadequate.

Explanation Modified. 1) Reword distractor A to: RCPs shall be restarted even if any had been previously stopped due to loss of support conditions. 2) In distractor B add the word since before RCP trip criteria.

RESOLUTION: A. changed started immediately to restarted; B. added since.

kmk Modified. 1) To make distractors C and D more plausible, change the RCS temperature and RCS pressure numbers given so that they are NOT bounded by distractor A (in both RCS temperature swing and by RCS pressure). 2) In the stem add the word potential in front of Pressurized Thermal Shock. Also, change the assumption in the stem to: A pre-existing flaw existed.

RESOLUTION: Changed to Modified. Changed all distracters and answer to eliminate overlap.

Modified. In the question in the stem, delete the word containment since PZR level at 0% is also given as a condition.

RESOLUTION: Comment incorporated.

Modified. Distractor A could be considered correct if one assumes the radiation level in containment decreased linearly 950,000 Rlhr to 90,000 Rlhr from 20 minutes to 90 minutes, resulting in a total integrated dose of less than 1 O6 R. To preclude distractor A from possibly being considered correct, change the stem to state that core damage occurred 3 hours3.472222e-5 days 8.333333e-4 hours 4.960317e-6 weeks 1.1415e-6 months ago instead of 1.5 hours5.787037e-5 days 0.00139 hours 8.267196e-6 weeks 1.9025e-6 months ago.

RESOLUTION: Changed stem to 2.5 hours5.787037e-5 days 0.00139 hours 8.267196e-6 weeks 1.9025e-6 months and provided radiation I pressure table to show that levels have been elevated for at least 90 min.

New. Distractor A is NOT plausible. Change the second sentence of distractor A to say: Pressurizer PORVs NRV-151 and NRV-153 are still OPERABLE for LTOP.

RESOLUTION: A. included NRV-151.

Modified. In the stem change to: The required response of the control room operators is to...

RESOLUTION: Changed stem from should to are required to.
