S #New.

1 U #New. LOD = 1. Knowledgeof 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 informationregarding each of the following concepts.]

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

2. 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).

3. 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 distractorscontain cues (i.e., clues, specific determiners, phrasing, length, etc).

The answer choices are a collection of unrelatedtruelfalse statements.

More than one distractor is not credible.

One or more distractors is (are) partially correct (e.g., if the applicant can make unstatedassumptions 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 referencetest mode (Le., it is not requiredto 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. Check questions that are sampled for conformancewith the approved KIA and those that are designated SRO-only (KIA and license level mismatches are unacceptable).

6. Based on the reviewersjudgment, 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).

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 <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />.

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. B. addedpositive reactivity changes.

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

RESOLUTION:Comment incorporated.

1. New. Q # WA. The WA is related to the knowledgeof 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.

B18 S Modified.

B19 820 X E #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.

821 Modified. In the stem question, delete the word seals, since the correct answer is associated with how the RCP would be affected, not the seals.

RESOLUTION: Comment incorporated.

822 B23 B24 X U Modified. 1) DistractorC is NOT plausible, since one would NOT stop CS pumps when containment pressure exceeded a certain pressure (would only stop CS pumps when containment pressurewas 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 distractorsA and D to make the distractorsgrammatically 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.

E Modified. Distractor C is NOT plausible. It is obvious that adding makeup to the RWST and reducing to one train of ECCS has nothingto do with restoringemergency coolant recirculation capability.

RESOLUTION: C. changed to Establish conditionsto restart RCP.

E 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 performingthe 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.

Explanation list.

X U #Bank. 1) Distractor B is NOT plausible, since this would imply that the original coincidencewas 114. 2) Distractor C is NOT plausible, since this would imply that the original coincidence was 3/4. Suggest the following new question: PZR pressurechannel - 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 temperatureand pressure. An RCS cooldown and depressurization is about to commenceto 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 channelwas 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 PressureSI 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.

X E Bank. 1) DistractorA - 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 providedto determine whether any rods have dropped. Changed beginning of C. to An ATWS condition has occurred since...

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.

The WA is 073000K1.01. 2) It can be argued that distractor C is also NOT correct and that there is NO correct answer. 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.

To resolve this item, add to the end of distractors C and D: "During Chemistry sampling".

168 H 1 U #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.

169 F 3 E Bank. Distractor D (listed as the correct answer) can be construedto 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.

170 F 1 X U New. DistractorsA and D are NOT plausible. The fact that the Reactor trip breakers indicate GREEN when OPEN and indicate RED when CLOSED is basic knowledgefor any breaker.

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

R86 F 3 E 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."

R87 H 3 S Modified.

R88 H 3 E 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.

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 Containmentto Pressurizer pressureto avoid double jeopardy with question 37. Changed ECCS to safeguards in C. Changed signal to actuation in stem.

S105 X U #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) DistractorsA, 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.

Explanation X E Modified. 1) Reword distractor A to: RCPs shall be restartedeven 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 immediatelyto restarted; B. added since.

X E 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 PressurizedThermal Shock. Also, change the assumptionin the stem to: A pre-existing flaw existed.

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

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