1. Choice B does not appear to be a plausible distractor when compared to Choice A because of the cause and effect relationship between pressure and the position of the letdown pressure control valve. It is also possible that there could be two correct answers if the letdown pressure control valve opened simultaneously as pressure increased or the valve may open first due to the locations that pressure is sensed for RCS pressure and valve control. To leave the question as written, I would need to have this run on the simulator to ensure that the correct answer is obvious. Recommend removing initially from the stem and changing Choice B to close vice open. This would result in one correct and four fully incorrect choices.

1. Choice C is not plausible. If an applicant incorrectly believed that a low failure of the controller would cause heaters to de-energize and spray valves to open, how would it be reasonable to expect that the PORV controlled by the master pressure controller would not open also? Could ask which PORV would open (or whether or not a certain PORV would open) and whether or not a reactor trip would occur.

1. The answer choices could be written more concisely. Some choices discuss rolling with air and then subsequently starting while others discuss immediately starting. I believe in any case that the diesel starts, it rolls with air first. Could just ask if there is or is not a time delay before the diesel can be started and whether or not the mode selector switch must be placed in manual-remote for the diesel to be started.

1. Although this is actually testing a note in the AP, the way the question is written appears to be more SRO level due to asking in the format of greater than one hour action statements without a reference. Also, the time Mode 3 entry is required is more of an SRO job function. Recommend setting up a timeline with different values of leakage from each S/G and asking when (IAW AP-24) is the earliest time that a plant shutdown is required and whether the decision is based on leakage from one or all steam generators.

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).
