1. The initial conditions are realistic, in that some equipment and/or instrumentation may be out of service, but It does not cue the operators into expected events.

2. The scenarios consist mostly of related events.

i 1

.c:

3. Each event description consists of

. the point in the scenario when it is to be initiated

the malfunction(s) that are entered to initiate the event

. the symptoms/cues that will be visible to the crew

. the expected operator actions (by shift position)

. the event termination point (if applicable)

4. No more than one non-mechanistic failure (e.g., pipe break) is incorporated into the scenario without a credible preceding incident such as a seismic event.

5. The events are valid with regard to physics and thermodynamics.

6. Sequencing and timing of events is reasonable, and allows the examination team to obtain complete evaluation results commensurate with the scenario objectives.

7. If time compression techniques are used, the scenario summary clearly so indicates.

Operators have sufficient time to carry out expected activities without undue time constraints.

Cues are given.

8. The simulator modeling is not altered.

9. The scenarios have been validated. Pursuant to 10 CFR 55.46(d), any open simulator performance deficiencies or deviations from the referenced plant have been evaluated to ensure that functional fidelity is maintained while running the planned scenarios.

10. Every operator will be evaluated using at least one new or significantly modified scenario.

All other scenarios have been altered in accordance with Section D.5 of ES-301. ci2i.

11. All individual operator competencies can be evaluated, as verified using Form ES-301-6 (submit the form along with the simulator scenarios).

12. Each applicant will be significantly involved in the minimum number of transients and events specified on Form ES-301 -5 (submit the form with the simulator scenarios).

[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 guestions 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).

Modified from Oconee 2010A NRC Exam. (I think this is the third time I have seen this question in a modified form. Is there not anything else you can write a Quench tank question on?) This is a backward method of matching the K/A.

Replaced question, new question is SAT 5/1412012.

34 F 2 X N U 007K1.03 Question appears to match the K/A. Distractors A and B are not plausible. One pressure you could use is the reset pressure from the actual PORV, You state it opens at 2450 psig, when does it close on lowering pressure? Or you need to make a 2 X 2 out of the last two distractors.

Changed question to a 2X2. SAT 5/24/2012 35 F 2 N S 008K4.09 Question appears to match K/A. SAT 36 H 2 X X N E 010G2.2.42 Question appears to match the K/A. Distractor C and D plausibility discussions do not make sense. It states the second part is plausible because RCS pressure is in the normal operating window and above the bank 2 cutoff of 2150 psig. The stem states that RCS pressure is 2145 psig. Need to raise pressure to approximately 2155 psig or something similar to test the pressurizer saturation recovery circuit as intended. If this is not the intent, then I am not sure C and D are plausible.

Does some other air compressor start? If no other air compressors start then A is not plausible because something would have to start to stabilize pressure. If pressure was at 90 psig, then only the backup air compressor would be running.

RO Exam: Unsat = 8 Enhancements = 23 Sat =44 Generic comments:

1) Please ensure all bank questions answers are in a different order than the original.

2) Somewhat concerned with exam predictability with all the questions from the 2009 exams (eight are listed from 2009 exams as you have them listed Some are 2010 exams, however, you have been numbering your exams different from the NRC and it is difficult to determine is they are all off of the same exams). I know some are modified but there is still some concern, If the changes that we make to the test due tc unsats or enhancements alleviates the issue OK. If not we will address the issue then.

The question essentially asks for a major procedure strategy which is usually considered RD knowledge. The first part of the question is RD knowledge. Also if the crew was still in UNPP step 21 would have the operator Utilize HPI as necessary to maintain RCS pressure and SCM.

The question does not state that the crew had completed UNPP, and does not appear to be asking for a transition. Therefore I believe this is RD knowledge. Will Discuss.
