Link units ward K/A Only Distractor C is not plausible because everyone should know that boron concentration decreases over core life. I suggest that you change distractor C to read more negative (worth more) due to E increased neutron leakage.

1* F 2 x Y N S Resolution: Distractor C was changed to more negative (worth more) due to increased neutron leakage. This question is satisfactory.

Distractor C is not plausible. With an increase is RCS pressure anybody with a causal knowledge of pumping systems would pick distractor C. Distractor C should be changed to Charging pump discharge header pressure remains the same and total seal injection E flow lowers 2* H 2 x Y B S Resolution: Distractor C was changed to Charging pump discharge header pressure remains the same and total seal injection flow lowers. This question is satisfactory.

How many minutes do you have to trip RCPs if loss all seal cooling.

If it is not 5 minutes the distractors need to be changed to whatever the time limit is. Its 2 minutes for the bearing oil coolers. Why arent you using 2 minutes in the distractors???

3* H 2 Y N S Resolution: Changed time frame from 5 minutes to 2 minutes since bearing oil cooler time limit is 2 minutes. This question is satisfactory.

No correct answer. Will the suction of the CV pumps be lost when VCT level reaches 0%??? There should still be enough static head in the piping to provide suction pressure. It wont be lost at 0% VCT U level. Therefore no correct answer??? Need to delete last sentence 4 H 2 Y N from distractors A and C.

S Resolution: Removed last sentence from all distractors. The question now contains only one correct answer and is satisfactory.

Not sure what the clad melt 6 F 2 x Y B temp is.

S Resolution: Distractors B & C were changed to 500F below the fuel cladding melting point. This question is satisfactory.

LOD=1 Straight forward power supply question. Need to replace question. Question is What is power supply for the North SI pump.

F 1 U Resolution: Question was replaced with a new question 7 Y N H 3 S requiring more knowledge than just what is the power supply to north SI pump. This question is satisfactory.

Does the stem contain enough information to answer the question??? May just need to change the level in the distractor A to a level in normal band??? Add reduce level to distractor C.

When was 62 psig changed to 800psig??? If it was this cycle or last we can keep it. I would prefer 600psig in distractors A & C. I would also change distractor A from OR to AND as well as distractor C E from AND to OR. I would also change the 1/3 in distractors A & B to 11 F 2 x Y B S 2/3.

Resolution: Distractors A, B, & C pressures and logic were changed to enhance question. This question is satisfactory.

LOD=1 Need to replace the question F 1 U Resolution: Replaced question with a bank question from 2008 12 Y B H 3 S NRC Exam. This question is satisfactory.

Why are distractors A & B plausible??? Is SG-12 and NR-43 powered by CRID III on U-1??? Why not ask what effect does this failure have on both the units??? Asking about only U-1 is slightly leading. This is a better way to ask what is the power supply to 13 H 2 Y B S Resolution: Distractors A & B are plausible based on SG-12 and NR-43 power supplies. This question is satisfactory.

A better distractor for A would be stop all RCPs to minimize heat input into cnmt. Or the second part of distractor C could be added to distractor A. stop all RCPs. A cnmt pressure relief is performed to minimize the risk of SI actuation since cnmt cooling has been lost. Why is distractor D plausible??? When would you perform a cnmt pressure relief to allow cnmt purge??? A better distractor E would be stop three RCPs. A cnmt pressure relief is performed 14 F 3 x Y B since ice condenser cooling has been lost.

S Resolution: Distractors A & D were changed to enhance their plausibility. A was changed to stop all RCPs to minimize heat input into cnmt and D was changed to Operate cnmt purge as required to maintain the ice condenser doors closed. This question is satisfactory.

F 3 Y B S LOD=1 This is a Whats the power supply for Hydrogen Recombiner question. Might be acceptable if there are actions that must be performed to cross-tie power or realign power to these buses because it shows they know the bus that powers the equipment and what alignment is needed to energize the correct bus. The question E shouldnt contain (Train A) and (Train B) in the distractors.

18 H 2 Y B S Resolution: Question is more complicated than initially thought and is not a LOD=1 question. H2 Recombiner power supplies are opposite of respective safety buses. That is, recombiner 1 is fed from B-train power and recombiner 2 is fed from A-train power. (Train A) and (Train B) were removed. This question is satisfactory.

Resolution: Distractors C & D are responses to other rad 32* H 3 Y B S monitors (ERS-2409) and are thus plausible. This question is satisfactory.

Would distractor D be better using 5000 as the limit since this is an actual dose limit???

33* H 2 Y B S

34 H 2 Y B S 35 F 2 Y M S Why are distractors A & B plausible??? A says to align U-1 BA makeup to feed U-2 through cross-tie but BA pumps wouldnt be able to inject through cross-tie due to charging pump discharge pressure. Same with distractor B and why would you use U-2 BA makeup to feed U-2 through the cross-tie???

Why isnt CC flow to the RCP thermal barrier Hx checked prior to U isolating seal injection flow in 2-OHP-4025-LS-6???

36 H 2 x Y B S Resolution: Changed distractor A to use the U-1 CCP to x-tie to U-2. Distractor B was changed eliminate any reference to use of the x-tie. This question is satisfactory.

37 H 3 Y B S Resolution: Removed attachment that was previously provided. The question is no longer a direct look up. This question is satisfactory.

Distractor D is implausible (-1.55psig). Why would pressure be this low as a result of a loss in CHW flow???

E Resolution: Distractor D was changed from -1.55psig to -

38 F 2 x Y B S 0.05psig and upper cnmt temp was changed from 97F to 115F to enhance the distractor. This question is satisfactory.

E 42* H 2 x Y B Resolution: Distractor C was changed to Component Cooling S flow is lost to all the ESF loads. And distractor D was changed to all RCP seal injection is lost.

43 H 2 Y N S 44 H 2 Y B S 45 H 3 Y B S 46 H 2 Y B S Does the cnmt purge system isolate automatically on high rad signal??? If it does then there may not be a correct answer. If a cnmt high rad isolates cnmt there is no guarantee it wont occur before the procedure step is performed.

E 47 H 2 Y M Resolution: Added a bullet to the stem that says Two minutes S later, all radiation monitors show a stable trend with no additional alarms actuated. This enhancement ensures that only one correct answer exists. This question is satisfactory.

Distractor A needs to be changed to 514 PSIG.

E Resolution: Distractor A was changed to 514psig because it is 48 H 2 Y N the most likely error that an applicant would make. This S question is satisfactory.

Distractors B, C, & D are not plausible. The stem states cnmt pressure is high but none of these distractors would result in high cnmt pressure. Question doesnt discriminate.

Resolution: The ESW system can be aligned several different 50* H 3 Y B S ways, so the stem must state a configuration or the applicants would have to ask which configuration the system is in or make an assumption about its configuration. This question is satisfactory.

51* H 2 Y B S What is the normal power supply??? The DC input??? Supporting documentation doesnt state that DC input Bkr must be manually closed before auto re-transfer occurs. Please show me how inverter is feed electrically.

52 H 3 Y N S Resolution: DC is the normal power supply and station provided necessary info when asked about inverter feeds. This question is satisfactory.

53 F 3 Y B S No completely correct answer. Outside air dampers also close and inlet dampers open. Should change distractors to incorporate the changes in damper position also.

Resolution: Bolded pressurization fan alignment. The 54 F 3 Y B S question has only one correct answer because question is only asking about pressurization fans and not what happens on a Hi Rad signal. This question is satisfactory.

It seems like the way the question is asked only one distractor (A) is plausible. Why would anybody pick anything other than A??? Its the only logical choice. Need to explain why B, C, & D distractors are plausible.

25(100) H 2 Y Y B S Instructions

[Refer to Section D of ES-401 and Appendix B for additional information regarding 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 distractors contain cues (i.e., clues, specific determiners, phrasing, length, etc).

• The answer choices are a collection of unrelated true/false statements.

• The distractors are not credible; single 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).

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 K/A 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 (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.

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

6. Enter question source: (B)ank, (M)odified, or (N)ew. Check that (M)odified questions meet criteria of ES-401 Section D.2.f.

7. Based on the reviewers judgment, is the question as written (U)nsatisfactory (requiring repair or replacement), in need of (E)ditorial enhancement, or (S)atisfactory?

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

• Designates the questions reviewed to meet requirement of ES-401.E.2.c. (100% of questions were reviewed by Chief Examiner) 16
