ES-401 Written Examination Review Worksheet Form ES-401-9 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).

I question whether or not this is really operationally valid. Unless there is really some reason to pick the A loop first, what difference does it make.

Does not make a difference which loop only consistent with actual procedure step.

Cred Dist: C&D closing both loops at the same time would lose your LP injection and you would risk restarting the leak when you tried to re-establish injection. This doesnt seem plausible.

With pressure at 1770 psig and decreasing, it is plausible to think that RHR could remain isolated since RHR pumps are typically secured in the EOPs when not injecting. Additionally, if the sole location of the leak is the RHR lines, then transition would be made to EOP-2.0 and then to EOP-1.2 to terminate SI.

Raised RCS pressure to make higher above shutoff head of RHR (165 psig).

Am I to assume that the SG is dry and the RCS has filled due to SI? If so, its not operationally valid to assume that no operator actions were taken.

Choice C is not plausible. EOP 1.2 (Safety Injection Termination) does not contain a step for closing the PZR PORV Block Valves.

Why would it? (dmb)

Choice A is not plausible. In EOP-2.0 you check if SI flow should be reduced and then go to EOP-1.2 (Safety Injection Termination) if it should be. (dmb)

Why would closing PORV Block Valves be contained in the SI Termination Procedure? This is not an SRO only question. (dmb)

Replaced question with one that tests using the SOP to identify a leaking PORV.

Question SAT 8/12. KDS 79 H 3 X X M U 007 EA2.02 S Cred Dist: 1st part is RO knowledge but thats ok. While the second part is a procedure selection which makes it SRO, not racking out a breaker that is closed is AO knowledge. I dont think you can insert the racking tool if the breaker is closed can you? If you have any procedure that allows this and a breaker that it can be done on, we can discuss. If not, C&D are not plausible.

Replaced with question testing actions required to restore ESF bus with alternate source after failure of an EDG to start.

Cred Dist/Cue: The stem states that SI is not required and asks what required actions are. The 1st part of A&B state to manually initiate SI.

I understand that pressure is continuing to decrease but as the question is written, A&B are not plausible.

Will stopping RCP A successfully mitigate the depressurization?

Will depressurization stop completely? Successfully may be open to interpretation (discuss wording).

Choice C can be eliminated as the only correct answer by itself based on RO knowledge since heaters cannot overcome spray.

However, based on EOP-1.1 Alternative Action step 8.b.3), the CRS will direct ensuring PZR Heaters are on. This makes choice C a partially correct answer. Also, choice D may not be fully correct since the same step in the procedure states that you may have to secure RCP B or C as well. (dmb)

S Adjusted spacing.

Last bullet needs PND on the end of the valve name to match the EOP PND was added to valve name in last bullet.

Why would the applicants receive EAL classification tables for this question?.....C&P from another question?

Question asks about full train of depressurization in accordance with matrix on EAL classification tables so reference is applicable to this question.

Stem Focus: In the RNO column for step 7 of Att. 3, if 3107A is not closed, it directs taking the booster pump to PTL and closing 3107A before refilling the system. The way the question is worded (what addresses the condition), filling is incorrect without first securing the booster pump and closing 3107A.

Added placing A SWBP in PTL and closing 3107A to A and B.

Part: In attachment 3, step 7a: Ensure two Service Water Pumps are running. Does ensure mean to start the a SW Pump? If so, is D correct? The plausibility statement states that if 3107A were closed, it would be correct (referring to RNO step b.1). The procedure states that if 3107A is closed, to start the SW Booster Pump. ????

No alarms indicate that SW pumps failed to start. Choices C and D discuss starting the SWBPs and not the SW pumps.

Plausiblity statement is if 3107A had automatically closed and if it was closed when implementing the step not if operators had to close it.

Do not believe that the second part of choice B is a correct answer.

Does the A SWBP actually get started after filling? (dmb)

SOP-117 Section IV M has operators start the SWBP after filling the RBCU lines for 10 minutes at step 2.10.

Are the applicants required to know this?

Preventing boron stratification should be added to the answer for choice A to match the bases.

Question does not appear to be SRO only. Choices B, C and D can be eliminated based on RO above the line knowledge.

Knowledge of the bases is not required when the question can be answered solely by knowing that cavity level is above 23 feet and one train of RHR is in service. (dmb)

S A train is inoperable because it does not have support system of CCW to cool it. It is plausible that it might be operable because it can be run indefinitely with local temperature monitoring.

B train is inoperable because B breaker is not racked down.

If B was racked down and C racked up then B train would be operable.

Stem Focus: Why is the reference provided? It has above the line information (memory) and an action. Without reference, question is ok.

The reference is provided to provide plausibility for distracters C and D since these items are not required from memory.

The first part of choice D may not be plausible considering B Charging Pump is inoperable and C Charging Pump breaker is racked up on B Train. (dmb)

Racking C charging pump onto B train would actually make it operable if not for the B breaker.

Removed extra highlighted space on answer B.

Added if all applicable action statements are satisfied? to the end of the stem.

Do you expect the SRO to know instrument tolerances from memory? (dmb)

ROs should know the instrument tolerances since they are the operators who take the logs and report to the CRS if out of tolerance. Can we provide a copy of the log page containing the tolerance?

What if RB pressure peaked at 62 psig, then rapidly reduced to 2 psig (something that would indicate containment breach). Would you transfer out of EOP-6.0? Were flirting with SAMGs so I dont want to go there however, when to transfer out of EOP-6 is valid for SROs.

Cloned and revised question to provide indications for the two red paths to core cooling and eliminated the RB pressure aspect.

With the information given, I dont see how you could fault an applicant for stating that it would and use EOP-4.1C.

Part: If you were going to cooldown using steam dumps, would you not be able to use the good SGs. It appears that C could be correct also.

Caution to EOP-4.1C states If any RUPTURED SG Narrow Range level is GREATER THAN 90% [83%] this procedure should NOT be used, since water may exist in the steamline.

S The verifications of operability on the train opposite of the inoperable diesel are discussed in the bases.

Cred Dist: B the assumptions made to make the 2nd part plausible appear to make the Operable call not plausible. The same philosophy for the 1st and 2nd part seem to contradict each other.

Replaced Make preparation to lower load within ONE (1) hours with Verify operability of the A EDG. This is plausible because it would be an action if offsite to 1DA was considered inoperable Rearranged choices.

Question SAT 8/6. KDS 90 H 3 X N E 068 AG2.4.8 S Stem Focus: The stem of this question is difficult to put into a sequence.

Is EOP-1.1 being run concurrently with FEP-4.0? As I read the question it is. The FEP reference page states that EOP implementation during FEP usage is undesired.

It seems that I would have evacuated the CR by the time I had to make the decision to go to EOP-15.0 The actual question appears to be ok but the stem needs some work and we need to walk though to verify that its operationally valid.

Worked on stem. Placed fire later in timeline and left loss of heat sink and application of EOP-15.0 until after CR evacuation.

Plus if Im cooling down by procedure, it seems likely that you will keep the RCPs on until secured by the cooldown procedure. That being said, the second part of B&D appear to not be plausible.

Added RM-G19B and C as area radiation monitors to match K/A.

Remove discussion of cooldown from second question to make B and D plausible. The step would actually cause RCP trip on low pressure (unless operators know to apply note).

Need to discuss the attachment. By giving them the TS page, its setting them up to pick the incorrect answer. We need to agree that operations is ok with this aspect of the question.

With regard to the original submittal, the second aspect of the question requires the candidate to freeze the status of the CCW pumps after racking up one breaker and then make the operability call. In order to maintain that context, the first question needs to be asked. Operations is OK with the question as written.

Replaced the question with a revised version that eliminates the freezing in time aspect and provides a more realistic scenario in which a single train is restored. The reference is required in this case to provide the answer.

Cred Dist: Having to sample the tank before releasing it (when you have made an addition to it) is pretty basic knowledge unless you have an example of when that would not be required. This makes A&B not plausible. Recommend dropping the addition to the tank, keeping the wind direction and asking (1) who has to approve the release and (2) can the release be restarted with the current wind direction.

Discuss with examiner that there was a question on the audit that asks who approves a liquid release with one monitor out of service (different system, scenario and question).

No site assembly for an Alert Cred Dist: Is it stated anywhere to direct non-essential personnel to their residences?

EPP-012 states that it is one of the options. 5.3.1 is the exact announcement made and contains the option to release to personal residences.

Stem Focus: It appears in the stem that you are aware of the containment breach with a LOCA (2 barriers) and an alert was then declared. It was then another half hour before a SAE was declared with no other information.

Revised question to split out loss of the two barriers. So that declare alert after LOCA and then escalate to a Site Area Emergency after the breach in containment.
