- 1.
Check the applicant level and enter the operating test number and Form ES-D-1 event numbers for each event type; TS are not applicable for RO applicants. ROs must serve in both the at-the-controls (ATC) and balance-of-plant (BOP) positions; Instant SROs must serve in both the SRO and the ATC positions, including at least two instrument or component (I/C) malfunctions and one major transient, in the ATC position. If an Instant SRO additionally serves in the BOP position, one I/C malfunction can be credited toward the two I/C malfunctions required for the ATC position.
- 2.
Reactivity manipulations may be conducted under normal or controlled abnormal conditions (refer to Section D.5.d) but must be significant per Section C.2.a of Appendix D. (*) Reactivity and normal evolutions may be replaced with additional instrument or component malfunctions on a 1-for-1 basis.
- 3. Whenever practical, both instrument and component malfunctions should be included; only those that require verifiable actions that provide insight to the applicants competence count toward the minimum requirements specified for the applicants license level in the right-hand columns.

7.* The generic (G) K/As in Tiers 1 and 2 shall be selected from Section 2 of the K/A Catalog, but the topics must be relevant to the applicable evolution or system. Refer to Section D.1.b of ES-401 for the applicable K/As.
- 8. On the following pages, enter the K/A numbers, a brief description of each topic, the topics importance ratings (IRs) for the applicable license level, and the point totals (#) for each system and category. Enter the group and tier totals for each category in the table above; if fuel handling equipment is sampled in other than Category A2 or G* on the SRO-only exam, enter it on the left side of Column A2 for Tier 2, Group 2 (Note #1 does not apply). Use duplicate pages for RO and SRO-only exams.
- 9. For Tier 3, select topics from Section 2 of the K/A catalog, and enter the K/A numbers, descriptions, IRs, and point totals (#) on Form ES-401-3. Limit SRO selections to K/As that are linked to 10 CFR 55.43.

[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 met the 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?

The second questions parenthetical statement should be a bullet in the current conditions portion of the stem.
Modified as suggested.
The first question is not very discerning. If the training is to always initiate prior to reaching the setpoint, then why would anyone choose is NOT?
Could we go at this by testing what to do if the manual initiation and AUTO initiation does not work?
Basically modified as suggested. Asked about 1 valve not responding to manual or automatic initiation signal Could we change the second answer form 0 to 2? If the example is that the C LPI pump wont start, but the other two would, it would be more plausible to have the same setup on the HPI pumps. drl 4/1/15 Modified as suggested.

AP43 will direct entry into AP/25 (which will direct the trip) and entry into AP/50 which will direct the need to trip or perform a rapid shutdown (AP/29).
If this were a challenging plant fire but not in an SSF risk area then rapid shutdown would be a correct choice Overlap issue with 74.

Im not certain that 0.2 inches in the quench tank is really plausible. Yes you can see it on the computer, but would the gages give you this accuracy. If yes, then thats ok.
Otherwise, lets make this something like 4 inches.
QT level gage is a digital gage which reads to the tenth of an inch therefore a.2 inch change in level is definitely readable on the gage.

If so is NOT energized ever a truly plausible answer? drl 4/3/15 At 2155 psig Bank 2 heaters would be off based on just their response to RCS pressure since they turn on at 2140 and off at 2150 therefore Not energized is a correct answer if the Pressurizer is saturated.

212 ºF is not plausible. This is the old isenthalpic expansion game.
Whatever the enthalpy of the steam in the pzr is will be the same as the enthalpy downstream of the PORV. The temperature will be based on the pressure at that point. The question is kind of flawed in that you have to make the assumption that you are at QT pressure here. I just ball-parked the math and it looked to be about 268 F to me. This needs a much closer look.
Or maybe I just need a better reason why 212 is plausible. drl 4/3/15 Changed 2nd part of A & C to 250 degrees. If the applicant doesnt convert 40 psig to 55 psia, they should determine ~ 250 degrees on the mollier diagram which will be incorrect.

Auto Voltage Adjuster is not very plausible as presented. A better way to ask this would be to put KHU frequency below grid frequency, ensure that voltages given are procedurally acceptable. Then ask which switch is required to be adjusted in order to close the breaker IAW the procedure.
The second question is fine. drl 4/10/15 Revised first part of question as suggested. Tweaked second part to ensure not being directed to violate a procedure Still not quite right. It should be obvious to any operator (licensed or not) that to adjust the synchroscope, you use the Speed Changer.

As written, C is not plausible. Why would you have to announce an alarm clear if you didnt have to announce that it came in? How about if you change the first question to ask if SM permission is initially required to suspend verbal announcement.

Then ask if, when the alarm comes in, it has to have the ARP reviewed at that point. drl 4/13/15 Guidance in AD-OP-ALL-1000 was not specific enough to ask the question as suggested.
