Several questions on this exam are directly from 2011 and 2012 NRC Exams and MNS Audit Exams. This could make the exam predictable. Will discuss 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 ciuestions that are samnled 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).

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 referance 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 samqled 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).
ES-401 2 Form ES-401-9 SRO Questions 76 H 2 X X B S 004G2.2.22 Question does not appear to match the K/A.
The K/A is for the charging system and the question refers to actions required in a SGTL event. Appears to be asking an SRO topic.
The TS listed is for standby shutdown system, not the CVCS system.
This question is slightly different than the original bank question. Charging flow is 85 gpm, not 78 as listed in the original question and your distractor analysis. This makes distractors B and D not plausible.
2011 MNS NRC Exam Q92 10/24/2013 After discussion it appears the standby makeup pump is part of the CVCS system. Agree with the changes to the second part of the distractors. SAT 11/19/2013 77 H 2 B S 012G2.1.2 Question appears to match the K/A.

Second part of distractors C and D are not plausible as written. Why would you have a valve automatically close, and then send someone to verify it closed?
Therefore the applicant need only understand that the bypass will automatically open at 85 psig (RO knowledge) and will correctly answer the question.

81 F 2 X N U 002G2,1.36 Question does relate to fuel handling, but how does it relate to the reactor coolant system?
Question does not appear to match the KJA. Question does have an SRO aspect to it. Question needs to relate to the RCS. Most of the stem could be removed and the question could still be asked. 10/28/2013 Second attempt of the question does relate to the RCS (basis statement for having a boron concentration high enough to have Keff be .95.
However the .99 (greater than or less than) number is not plausible. This is the typical value that is maintained in Mode 1, 2, or 3, 4, or 5 when refueling is not in progress (listed in your definitions). So why would anyone think this acceptable during refueling?
Try asking a question on TS 3.9.5 involving RCS flow or requirements for having RHR in operations etc. Licensee replace question with new question.

Appears to have an SRO aspect to it. Fourth bullet in step states NC pumps have been secured due to loss of subcooling. This is cueing. Just state NC pumps have been secured. Second part of distractors c and d not very plausible with these conditions (yes you will transition to ES1 .3 sooner or later if not completely cooled down and on RHR. But it will be way later.

Currently as written there appears to be two correct answers.
Without a time line, both A and C are correct. If the loss of charging and therefore letdown lasts longer than 60 minutes, the letdown depressurization must be done locally. With no time listed one could argue that both are correct. 2010 MNS NRC 0 #85 10/28/2013 Reviewed question again and agree. Question is SAT 11/19/2013
86 H 2 X M U 040AA2.04 Question appears to match the K/A.

This may be in the basis, but it is also the system function. Objectives 2 and 3 of the ECC-Nl lesson plan. 2009 MNS NRC 0 #56 Modified 10/28/2013 Licensee revised question, however it now has a combination of ECCS actuation, and Main steam line actuation.

What vital AC electrical instrument bus was lost, and how did that loss affect the CLAs? Question may not be SRO only. (Requested verification from other examiners). The fact that one accumulator is expected to be loss out of the break is ECCS functional knowledge and is typically RO knowledge. The first part of the question regarding CLA level is TS entry level and is RO knowledge. 10/28/2013 Changed K/A to 057AA2.07 or 2.19 or 2.20 Licensee rewrote new question for 057AA2.19 Question is SAT. 11/25/2013 88 F 2 B S 062AA2.03 Question appears to match the K/A.
