Check the appropriate box if a job content error is identified:
*** The question is not linked to the job requirements (Le., the question has a valid KIA 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).

2 H 2 x x x N e 202001 A3.04 S 1. Cue: Ask the licensee why 69% power was chosen. [speed limiter #2 steam flow setpoint is 65%.] Ask the licensee why the stem needs to state that both feed pumps are operating? (will 1 pump suffice at this power?) Ask the licensee why the word "RED" is capitalized?
- 2. Partial: Since the question stem does not specify the lowest "c" is also reactor water level, an applicant could argue that "C" correct IF the steam flow setpoint was not exceeded, i.e.,
Le., 69% power is too close to the 65% steam flow setpoint. Suggest adding a statement to the stem that the lowest reactor water level achieved was 36" and was subsequently recovered by the 28 2B RFPT. Will the unit response be the same at 100% power?

Cues: The fill-in-the-blank statement is a cue because it pOints points the applicant to the fact that both pumps operate in the same fashion, i.e., Le., they'll either both trip or both continue to run even though the power supply is only 4KV Bus 2C. The fill-in-the-blank statement does not allow for the applicant to demonstrate a knowledge of the common cooling pump power supply for both ASDs. Suggest re-working the question to test the applicants knowledge that both ASDs will trip [following a loss of Bus 2C] instead of just one ASD tripping.
- 2. Cred Dist: The second part of the choices is not symmetrical, i.e.,
Le., "0" is the only choice that states that the pumps will not trip.

Licensee stated this test item linked to 10CFR55.43 (5) [procedure selection] because the applicant must recall the action in the procedure and when to take the action.
The following knowledges are required to determine the correct answer "C":
- Testing req'd suspended at 105: (Immediate action statement C.1)
- Logging req'd every 5 minutes: Step 4.4 in 34AB Because this is borderline SRO-only knowledge with respect to procedure selection, suggest re-working the question to require the applicant to select a procedure or , alternatively, test the applicants' knowledge of the TS Bases for TS 3.6.2.1. The 2nd part of the question [whether or not HPCI HPCl testing can continue]
is a good starting point to retain. st st

SRO-only: The 2nd portion of the question was intended to 10CFRSS.43 (5) [assessment of facility conditions and target 10CFR55.43 selection of appropriate procedures].
"A" and "B" can be eliminated by RO systems knowledge associated with how many RBCCW pumps remain running
[systems knowledge]. The correct answer "CO "C" can be determined by knowing that the recirc pumps have lost their cooling medium (RBCCW) and require tripping.
- 2. Partial: There is a potential for no correct answer because the (Le., enter the scram procedure) is guidance to trip the reactor (i.e.,
directed by 34AB-P42-001-2, Step 4.8 which directs the operator to scram the reactor and enter 34AB-C71-001-2 at the shift supervisor direction. Therefore, the requirement for 34AB-C71-001-2 is a discretionary decision point in the procedure and may not always be required.

SRO-only: This question is borderline because the knowledge of how many SRMs are required in Mode 3 vs Mode 2 is RO Tech Spec knowledge ..

- 2. Job-Link: The 1stst sentence states that "Unit 2 is in.in Mode 3.....".
8ecause Because the 2nd sentence states that the mode switch has just been placed in the Startup position, the question has the potential to become mis-leading, i.e., the plant is now in Mode
- 2. Suggest combining the 1st st and 2nd sentences to state that Unit 2 is preparing to startup and the mode switch is in the startup/hot stby position (ensure exact labeling).
- 3. Stem focus: The 2nd 2nd fill-in-the-blank statement is confusing because it does not ask the applicants for the REQUIRED position of the mode switch.
Discuss wi licensee: The 24 hour repair time exceeds the 4 hour A.1 action statement time; therefore, in accordance with TS, is the licensee allowed to leave the mode switch in startup for 4 hours knowing that the repair time will not be met? Discuss wi licensee.

tracking
licensee may have interpreted the KIA statement wording too restrictive. Consequently, the "8" "B" and "c" "C" choices are not plausible since an unknowledgeable applicant could "guess" that the name of the sheet was "Tracking" when the equipment was not presently required to be operable.
