ES-401 Written Examination Review Worksheet (Millstone 3 RO)
Form ES-401-9 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 (Le., clues, specific determiners, phrasing, length, etc).
The answer choices are a collection of unrelated true/false statements.
The distractors are not credible; sin@ implausible distractors should be repaired, more than one is unacceptable.
One or more distractors is (are) partially correct (e.g., if the applicant can make unstated assumptions that are not contradicted by stem).
The question is not linked to the job requirements (Le., 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 reguired 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.
Check questions that are sampled for conformance with the approved WA and those that are desianated SRO-only (WA and license level mismatches are unacceptable).
Based on the reviewer's judgment, is the question as written (U)nsatisfactory (requiring repair or replacement), in need of (E)ditorial enhancement, or (S)atisfactory?

Check the appropria!e box if a job content error is identified:
- 5.
- 6.
I 7.
At a minimum, explain any "U" ratings (e.g., how the Appendix B psychometric attributes are not being met).

Millstone 3 Operational Test Changes JPMs SRO A.l.l - replaced Tech Spec evaluation JPM because this activity can be evaluated in the dynamic simulator portion of the exam. This was replaced with a RCS leakage surveillance review.
2K7 NRC S.6 (check if RCPs should be stopped) was replaced because it was determined to be overly simplistic and was replaced with establish RHR train B boron concentration.
General Comments: JPMs had minor modifications which included: adding cues / information for the examiners, truncating JPMs due to absence of critical steps, and critical & non-critical steps were clarified.
Simulator Scenarios 2K7 NRC-01:
Loss of control rod position failure was dele..>d due to having minimal evaluative use.
LOCA size was increased to shorten scenario run time.
SI pumps auto start failure were added as malfunctions.
2K7 NRC-02:
Designated tripping the RCPs as a critical task.
2K7 NRC-03:
Made power ascension and RPCCW pump trip separate events.
General Comments: Minor changes were made to scenarios such as adding cues from the field, notes to simulator operators, and clarifying points.
