NRC COMMENTS TO INITIAL EXAM SUBMITTAL INCLUDING ES-401-9 AND OPERATING COMMENTS FOR THE DAVIS-BESSE INITIAL EXAMINATION FEBRUARY 2008

ES-401

k.

Check austbns that are samoled for conformance with the approved WA and those that are designatedSRO-ooly(WA and license level mismatches are unacceptable).

Based on the reviewefs judgment, is the question as written (U)nsalisfactory (requiring repair or replacement), in need of (E)ditorial enhancement, or (S)atiifactory?

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

Written Examination Review Worksheet Form ES-401-9 Esplanation

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

Enter the level of knowledge (LOK) of each question as eimer (F)un&mertal or (H)igher cognitive level.

Enter the level of difficuhy (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 psychmetric flaw is identfied:

The stem lacks sufficient focus to elich the correct answer (e.g., unclear intent, more information is needed, or t w 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 IrueJfalse statements.

The distractors are not credible; single implausible d6tractors should be repaired, more than one is unacceptable.

One or more distractors is (are) partially correct (e.9.. il the applicant can make unstated assumptions that are not contradicted by stem).

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 questim requires the recall of knowledge that is t w specific for the closed reference test mode (i.e., 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.

Check the appropriate box il a job content error is identfied:

[Calculate RCS Flow with F755 Inoperable)

RO Comment

1) Page 3, step 3 - Instead of providing a summary page with the computer point values already given, have the applicant obtain the values of the parameters from the computer.

2) As written, step 3 is not a Critical Step, since one is just copying information from a given sheet to Attachment 7 of the specified procedure.

3) The specific volume number calculated in steps 2 and 4 is given to 5 digits. However, since the 2 values being extrapolated against are only to 4 digits, the final extrapolated value should only be to 4 digits.

This JPM Is inltlallv Unsatisfactory, since the task only involves multiplying 3 numbers together. No matter how one extrapolates the specific volume between the 2 given values of RCS pressure, an RCS flow value within the acceptable range will be obtained.

[Comments above during initial review before onsite validation]

[Comments below were during onsite validation]

4) In the Initial Conditions, add that SPDS is not available.

Resolution

1) Comment incorporated.

2) Step changed such that candidate needs to obtain point values from the simulator computer. Step is now a Critical Step.

General Comment tor All Control R m

and In-Plant JPMs

1) In the Initial Conditions, add a statement regarding the status of Makeup Pump 1 (i.e., that the pump is running).

2) In step 2, by following the procedure Makeup Pump I could be stopped instead of Makeup Pump 2. A similar comment applies to steps 3, 4, and 5 regarding MU Pump 1 components instead of MU Pump 2 components.

3)Step 7(8) would be a Critical Step if MU Pump 1 (2)was stopped, and step 8(7) would not be a Critical Step.

4) On page 4 before step 1. change so that it says that the sequence of steps 1 and 2 is not critical.

5 ) In step 3, add a Comment that the switch is not labeled and the bottom of the toggle switch should be depressed to stop the pump.

6) In step 4, delete mention of RED and GREEN lights since there are no lights. Instead, add a CUE that, if asked, the pump is otf by local indication.

7) Add a statement before step 7 that the sequence of steps 7 and 8 is not critical.

On page 1 of the JPM, add "Alternate Path with a "Yes" or "NO" added, to assist the Examiners in identitying if the JPM is an Alternate path.
