2/1 073 K5.01 Question # 51 During NRC review of the exam materials, it was determined that this K/A is not supportive of a licensing decision and the K/A should be deleted from this exam and replaced with a Randomly selected K/A. Deleting this K/A will result in Tier 2 total for K5 to be less than the suggested value of 2. Discussed with the chief examiner on 4/29/13. This will result in exercising note 2 of the outline that allows this deviation (+ 1) based on NRC review. Documented this deviation on ES-401-2 PWR Examination Outline cover page.

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 distracters contain cues (i.e., clues, specific determiners, phrasing, length, etc).
The answer choices are a collection of unrelated true/false statements.
The distracters are not credible; single implausible distracters should be repaired, more than one is unacceptable.
One or more distracters 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).

2013 Davis-Besse Initial Licensed Operator Exam Outline Review I.
JPMs A. RO Admin COM: Describe how RO A1.1 is different from RO A1.1 on 2011 Exam.
ANS: Will verify JPM is different.
COM: RO A3 appears to be more of a Systems JPM ANS: Title is misleading and should be changed to Perform Administrative Checks for RW Discharge. JPM requires manipulation of switches to reset the setpoint; however, the RM is not performing its system function of alarming and/or isolation if setpoint is exceeded.
As a result we feel this is admin vice system JPM. We do have a replacement admin JPM for R.4 which would be Notification of Offsite Agencies for UE.
B. SRO Admin COM: SRO A1.1 - A notification to the FAA doesnt appear to match the K/A; seems to fit 2.4.30 instead.
ANS: Understand focus is more on filling out report vice making the report. Will replace with new SRO admin JPM for reviewing the SDM that is performed by the ROs. Will have mistakes to be identified by the reviewer. The KA 2.4.30 doesnt fit either because R.4 section is for EP, at least for initial exams (ES 301-1). Probably KA 2.1.17, ability to makeverbal reports is a better fit.
C. Control Room Systems COM: Explain how de-energizing an instrument transmitter (S2) is related to the Reactor Coolant System Inventory Control; seems to be more related to the Instrumentation Safety Function.
ANS: This system (ECCS) is only listed in the the Reactor Coolant System Inventory Control Safety Function. Not listed under the Instrumentation Safety Function COM: Explain how S3, HPI Flow Balance is related to the Reactor Pressure Control Safety Function; Inventory Control seems more appropriate.
ANS: Because plant is in LOCA, operator balances flow is based on pressure, have a related curve and graph to balance flow based on pressure.
D. In-Plant Systems COM: Explain how P3, Service Water Header Pressure control relates to the Heat Removal Safety Function; Plant Service Systems seem more appropriate.
ANS: Change KA, put under Safety Function 8, Plant Service Systems.
II.
Scenarios A. Scenario 1 COM: Recommend adding an additional I/C failure for the ATC prior to the major. This scenario is the only scenario that 2 of the 3 SROI will be on the panel.
ANS: Will modify alignment such that one crew of 3 SRO-Is, and two crews of one SRO-U and two ROs, changeout the SRO-U on second set with the remaining SRO-U. Run Scenarios 1&3, 2 ROs get minimum C/I failures (will add another ATC C/I), 2 ROs get 1 greater than minimum C/I; run Scenario 2 for third SRO-Is crew. Scenario 4 is backup.
COM: I dont believe I would classify event 8 as M, unless the leak is driving the condition to scram and not simply the failure to isolate.
ANS: Unisolable steam leak, isolate S/G and blowdown, trip reactor. Separate M.
COM: What is the probability that the BOP operator could be assigned the task of establishing MU/HPI/PORV cooling on Event 10?
ANS: The ATC will handle while BOP is on backpanel.
B. Scenario 2 COM: Event 1, does bi-stable tripping require the operator to leave the ATC area? If so, wouldnt the BOP operator be the one tripping bi-stables? If so, the ATC operator would not receive credit.
ANS: Mislabeled, should be BOP.
COM: What will be done to ensure that the ATC-RO responds and mitigates events 7 & 8?
ANS: ATCs will handle SFAS and ECCS actions; BOP will monitor secondaries.
C. Scenario 3 COM: Should Event 2 only be BOP and SRO vice ALL?
ANS: No. Should be ALL. Sufficient actions for ATC stop and BOP in Rack to swap input.
COM: Recommend adding an additional I/C failure for the ATC prior to the major. This scenario is the only scenario that the 3rd SROI will be on the panel.
ANS: See comment answer on Scenario 1.
D. Scenario 4 None III.
Written COM: Provide description of methodology used to develop outline.
ANS: It is provided in the letter submitting the outline.

NA SRO-2 Change INTIATION CUE to:
- 1) Perform the Work Group Supervisor review. (shouldnt have to tell them to determine operability.
- 2) Add step to determine required LCO actions.
- 1. Revised initiating cue to read:
Review/Approve completed surveillance.
- 2. Added a cue at the end of the JPM to ask, if necessary what is the impact on pump operability NA SRO-3 INITIATION CUE - change Perform to Complete Changed Perform to Complete in the initiating cue.
NA SRO-4 Recommend the following changes to the INTITIAL CONDITIONS:
- 1) Move the You are the Emergency Director to the Initial Conditions
- 2) Revise the 1st bullet to include that a Site Area Emergency was declared 30 minutes ago and that all notifications had been completed, but ERO facilities activation is still in progress. (Provide a marked up copy RA-EP-01800 completed through step 6.2.1.l)
- 3) Change you have just declared a GE to you have just upgraded to a General Emergency per EAL RG1 based on the below Off-site Dose Assessment Data (moved to the INITIAL CONDITIONS)
- 1. Moved the You are the Emergency Director to the Initial Conditions
- 2. Revised initial conditions to include that a Site Area Emergency was declared 30 minutes ago and that all notifications had been completed, but ERO facilities activation is still in progress.
- 3. Provided a marked up copy RA-EP-01800 completed through step 6.2.1.l.

Revised initiation cue to: Continue with implementation of RA-EP-01900, General Emergency, beginning at step 6.1.1.h.
Page 3 of 5 Provide a marked up copy of RA-EP-01900 completed through step 6.1.1.g WITH the time that the GE was declared entered as Current time minus 2 minutes Provided a marked up copy of RA-EP-01900 completed through step 6.1.1.g WITH the time that the GE was declared entered as Current time minus 2 minutes.
PS delete the word unknown from the standard.
Deleted the word unknown from step 4 standard.
Control Room System JPMs NS-1 Move RE cue to the INITIAL CONDITIONS Moved RE cue to the initial conditions.
Delete INITIAL CONDITION related to demin 1st use (procedure is already markedup).
Deleted initial condition related to demin 1st time use.
PS-22 does not appear as a step in either procedure. The next step of the ARP would have the operator verify the lineup and it also appears that step 3.5.22 of DB-OP-06001 may also be applicable.
Deleted step 22 of the JPM.
NS-2 PS-7 STANDARD; there is no procedure step to verify SFAS CH1, 2, & 3 1/2 trips on LO RCS Pressure Added a comment to step 7 that the verification is non-critical.
NS-3 This is not an alternate path JPM since the task is to balance flow with one pump failed (an initial condition) and it does not appear that there is any step to attempt to start the pump.
Added a step to attempt to start the failed pump.
NS-4 It seems that DB-OP-02543 sends the operator to DB-OP06401. What guidance would direct the applicant to DB-OP02000?
Procedure step 3.20 in 06401 does not look anything like the steps stated in the JPM. You have identified critical steps that are not included in 06401.
Revised steps 5 and 7 to address the actions necessary to open the AVVs.
NS-5 No Comments N/A NS-6 PS-1; Why is 3.8.2.a marked N/A Step is marked N/A since the plant is NOT on backfeed for this JPM.
PS-9; Why is 3.9.2.a marked N/A Step is marked N/A since the plant is NOT on backfeed for this JPM.
NS-7 No Comments N/A NS-8 PS-9 though PS-12; Not an alternate path even though the valves have failed to automatically close, the Attachment is performed to verify valve status and is successfully completed by simply closing the valves with the associated MCR control switch. To be an alternate path valve(s) would have to be closed by another method or an alternate valve closed to isolate path.
Revised JPM and ES-301-2 forms to reflect that this JPM is no longer an alternate path JPM.
Page 4 of 5 In-Plant System JPMs NP-1 Remove the cue related to required emergency equipment from the CUE Sheet and replace with a new 1st step requiring examinee to identify required equipment with a cue to ask if necessary.
Removed the cue related to required emergency equipment. There are no special PPE requirements for this task. The procedural step to obtain this equipment pertains to other steps within the procedure that are not related to this particular task.
Is there any special PPE required for the breaker/disconnect operations?
No NP-2 PS-3, 4, 5, 6, are not critical steps in that they have no impact on the physical ability to establish the desired pressure.
Based on the aggregate of all comments related to this JPM, this JPM was replaced with a JPM addressing Steam binding of the motor driven AFW pump.
PS-9 is not critical unless examinee simulates a local action to place valve in required position.
See above response for NP-2.
This JPM essentially has only ONE locally performed critical step (throttling the HX outlet valve) and one locally performed non-critical step (hang a placard). All other steps are/or could be performed from the MCR prior to dispatching the operator.
See above response for NP-2.
Where placards are to be prepared or hung, provide a handout for examinee (scanned image or picture)
See above response for NP-2.
NP-3 Shouldnt PS-11 be critical since it was positioned earlier?
Made step 11 critical.
PS-6&8; cues for engine speed should be coasting or trending to 0 RPM Revised cues for engine speed in steps 6 and 8 to be trending towards 0 RPM General JPM Comments/Questions Will examinees be provided with complete procedures or only sections?
Only the sections necessary to complete the task.
Scenario Comments Scenario 1 Event 5; include affected FUNCTION (where applicable) with instrumentation Tech Spec info Event 5; included affected FUNCTION with instrumentation Tech Spec information.
Scenario 2 Summary (page 2) - change ATC tripping bistables to BOP Summary page 2 - changed ATC tripping bistables to BOP.
Event 1; include affected FUNCTION/PARAMETER (where applicable) with instrumentation Tech Spec info Event 1; included affected FUNCTION with instrumentation Tech Spec information.
Event 3 - include (ATC) performance steps to be taken to initiate power Event 3 -Added (ATC) performance steps to be taken to initiate power
Page 5 of 5 reduction.
reduction.
Event 5; Does seal injection flow have to be restored to 30-32 gallons (20 plus minute evolution) before letdown is restored? Does letdown have to be restored before moving to the next event?
Consider using time compression, these two activities are needed for evaluation purposes.
Event 5 - Letdown will be restored first. Added a note to address that it is not necessary to wait the 20 minutes to completely restore seal injection flows back to the original values. It is only necessary to see the initial restoration.
Event 6; If intent is to observe small leak response per DB-OP-02522, ensure leak starts out small (or ramp rate is long enough) to ensure time for response.
Event 6 - It is not intended to evaluate the crew response to the small break.
No credit was taken for the Abnormal operating procedure entry. The intent is to merely provide a reason for a manual reactor trip.
Scenario 3 Event 2; include affected FUNCTION (where applicable) with instrumentation Tech Spec info Event 2 - Function not applicable.
Scenario 4 (Spare)
Event 1: Seems to be more of a NORMAL evolution rather than a REACTIVITY manipulation since it doesnt appear that any power change is taking place at this time; ICS appears to be maintaining a constant power in AUTO. Event 4 will probably result in more of a power change.
Event 1 - Revised to be a normal evolution.
Event 1; add procedure reference of procedure to be used.
Event 1 - Added IAW procedure DB-OP-06001.
Event 4; include affected FUNCTION (where applicable) with instrumentation Tech Spec info Event 4; included affected FUNCTION with instrumentation Tech Spec information.
Add section number for Overcooling Section on page 13.
Added section 7 for Overcooling on page 13.
Page 13; add OP-02000 Attachment 1 and 2 actions for ATC and BOP.
Deleted ATC and BOP actions for. These actions are not required for the scenario and do not contain any critical actions. The scenario is terminated at this point.
