RO A1a G2.1.43 3
E 2 Stuck Rod SDM Is determining acceptance criteria an RO function (i.e.,
should it be a critical step)?
Acceptance criteria provided to the RO in Initial Conditions. Step is now critical.
RO A1b G2.1.5 3
E Shift Staffing Could the second question affect the way that they look at the first question? Perhaps we could just ask the first question and ask to explain any holes if any? Then filling each position with a qualified body would each be critical steps. Im not sure this second question adds any value.
Is this task a normal RO function?
Revised as suggested.
RO A2 G2.2.12 2
X E
Boron Injection Flow Path Verification Im not sure how this JPM has more than 1 critical step.
This is also borderline for EC.
Will they understand that the valve is tagged closed?
How will they get the initial information about the status of the system? Are they to assume normal lineups?
Made correct filling out of the datasheet critical too.
Initial Conditions state that only two valves out of expected condition.
RO A3 G2.3.12 1
U Assess rad conditions and determine if task can be completed.
Kind of simplistic. Could we strengthen by asking the HP requirements to enter? Elsewhere I have seen this modified to require some kind of knowledge of the location of equipment?
Changing as requested. Still need to see final version.

Rewritten. Need to see final version.
SRO A2 G2.2.23 2
X E
Determine TS LCO for SG Instrument LCO How is this significantly different than what they are required to do in the scenarios?
How different is this from a failed instrument during the scenarios? Is this too much overlap? Scenario 2 Event 1 is only potential for this.
Lets talk about this operator aid and how it exists in the plant.
This is different because they are required to fill out the paperwork. The licensee inadvertently took this out of TS. They placed it in the bases until they could correct.
The SRO will need to find this information in order to complete JPM sat.

Isolate accumulators during post-LOCA C/D This does not appear to meet alternate path criteria.
When the applicant enters the simulator, the lack of light indication tells him that the A accumulator cannot be isolated.

ES-301 Operating Test Review Worksheet Form ES-301-7 Instructions for Completing This Table:
Use this table for each scenario for evaluation.
2 Check this box if the events are not related (e.g., seismic event followed by a pipe rupture) OR if the events do not obey the laws of physics and thermodynamics.
3, 4 In columns 3 and 4, check the box if there is no verifiable or required action, as applicable. Examples of required actions are as follows: (ES-301, D.5f) opening, closing, and throttling valves starting and stopping equipment raising and lowering level, flow, and pressure making decisions and giving directions acknowledging or verifying key alarms and automatic actions (Uncomplicated events that require no operator action beyond this should not be included on the operating test unless they are necessary to set the stage for subsequent events. (Appendix D, B.3).)
5 Check this box if the level of difficulty is not appropriate.
6 Check this box if the event has a TS.
7 Check this box if the event has a critical task (CT). If the same CT covers more than one event, check the event where the CT started only.
8 Check this box if the event overlaps with another event on any of the last two NRC examinations. (Appendix D, C.1.f) 9 Based on the reviewers judgment, is the event as written (U)nacceptable (requiring repair or replacement), in need of (E)nhancement, or (S)atisfactory? Mark the answer in column 9.
10 Record any explanations of the events here.
In the shaded boxes, sum the number of check marks in each column.
In column 1, sum the number of events.
In columns 2-4, record the total number of check marks for each column.
In column 5, based on the reviewer's judgement, place a checkmark only if the scenario's LOD is not appropriate.
In column 6, TS are required to be 2 for each scenario. (ES-301, D.5.d)
In column 7, preidentified CTs should be 2 for each scenario. (Appendix D; ES-301, D.5.d; ES-301-4)
In column 8, record the number of events not used on the two previous NRC initial licensing exams. A scenario is considered unsatisfactory if there is < 2 new events. (ES-301, D.5.b; Appendix D, C.1.f)
In column 9, record whether the scenario as written (U)nacceptable, in need of (E)nhancement, or (S)atisfactory from column 11 of the simulator scenario table.

Instructions for Completing This Table:
Check or mark any item(s) requiring comment and explain the issue in the space provided.
1, 3, 5 For each simulator scenario, enter the total number of events (column 1), TS entries/actions (column 3), and CTs (column 5).
This number should match the respective scenario from the event-based scenario tables (the sum from columns 1, 6, and 7, respectively).
2, 4, 6 For each simulator scenario, evaluate each event, TS, and CT as (S)atisfactory, (E)nhance, or (U)nsatisfactory based on the following criteria:
- a.
Events. Each event is described on a Form ES-D-2, including all switch manipulations, pertinent alarms, and verifiable actions. Event actions are balanced between at-the-controls and balance-of-plant applicants during the scenario. All event-related attributes on Form ES-301-4 are met. Enter the total number of unsatisfactory events in column 2.
- b.
TS. A scenario includes at least two TS entries/actions across at least two different events. TS entries and actions are detailed on Form ES-D-2. Enter the total number of unsatisfactory TS entries/actions in column 4. (ES-301, D.5d)
- c.
CT. Check that a scenario includes at least two preidentified CTs. This criterion is a target quantitative attribute, not an absolute minimum requirement. Check that each CT is explicitly bounded on Form ES-D-2 with measurable performance standards (see Appendix D). Enter the total number of unsatisfactory CTs in column 6.
7 In column 7, calculate the percentage of unsatisfactory scenario elements:
8 If the value in column 7 is > 20%, mark the scenario as (U)nsatisfactory in column 8. If column 7 is 20%, annotate with (E)nhancement or (S)atisfactory.
9 In column 9, explain each unsatisfactory event, TS, and CT. Editorial comments can also be added here.
Save initial review comments and detail subsequent comment resolution so that each exam-bound scenario is marked by a (S)atisfactory resolution on this form.

S 003AK1.04 001 K/A is not really met here. The K/A is looking for what happens to power and flux on a dropped rod.
So perhaps something about what you have to do with the turbine to get Tavg at program. Maybe a question about whats going on with AFD or QPTR.
I know this was a pre-submittal, but lets talk about this. Revised as requested Since the K/A seems to want to consider power level maybe the second part could ask the flux shift would/would not be larger at 50%?

004K5.30 001 Is there any way an applicant could appeal that the temp changes within RHR does affect total flow and therefore 1FV-618 would modulate? The question is not bound by time (i.e. 15 min.) Changed to 1TV-130 as a direct impact to temperature change.
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 a 1 (easy) to 5 (difficult); questions with a difficulty between 2 and 4 are acceptable.
- 3.
Check the appropriate box if a psychometric flaw is identified:
Stem Focus: The stem lacks sufficient focus to elicit the correct answer (e.g., unclear intent, more information is needed, or too much needless information).
Cues: The stem or distractors contain cues (e.g., clues, specific determiners, phrasing, length).
T/F: The answer choices are a collection of unrelated true/false statements.
Cred. Dist.: The distractors are not credible; single implausible distractors should be repaired, and more than one is unacceptable.
Partial: One or more distractors are partially correct (e.g., if the applicant can make unstated assumptions that are not contradicted by the stem).
- 4.
Check the appropriate box if a job content flaw is identified:
Job Link: 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).
Minutia: 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).
- /Units: The question contains data with an unrealistic level of accuracy or inconsistent units (e.g., panel meter in percent with question in gallons).
Backward: 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 K/As that are designated SRO-only. (K/A and license-level mismatches are unacceptable.)
- 6.
Enter questions source: (B)ank, (M)odified, or (N)ew. Verify that (M)odified questions meet the criteria of Form 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 status ratings (e.g., how the Appendix B psychometric attributes are not being met).

S 022AK3.03.001 Is the knowledge for the second question RO knowledge? I agree that they should know that the procedure would require them to know that they needed to put excess letdown in service. But is it reasonable to expect them to know that reactor power needs to be reduced because of that? This seems pretty deep in the procedure. Maybe if we asked something at an overall procedural strategy level instead.
However, if the facility representative states that this would be required RO knowledge, it would be acceptable.
The first question might be better if we just asked if the valve did/did not close Lets discuss.

WE04EK2.02 001 If the last step performed asks if the RHR valves are closed, why would the applicants think that the next valves to close are SI valves?
An easy fix would be to delete the third bullet and reverse the questions. The indication question would need slightly reworded to ask when if RHR is required to be isolated, then the breakers will/will not be required to be closed (or words to that affect)

Only I know that this was considered SAT on the early submittal, but we still need to put the distractor analysis in this document too.

S 008A2.03 001 Original early submittal comment was The first question is not really related to the question stem. Generically, you cannot throttle CCW flow to the RHR HX. How about you change the question to have both trains of RHR in service, then have the fault. Then ask if temperature can be controlled by throttling on the B train CCW. I think the second question can then be asked as written.
Modifictions made as suggested. Current question appears SAT.

015AG2.1.32 001 Generic comment. Move procedure title to after question and before answers.
Im going to need convincing that this is at the SRO level. I read the comments how you need detailed knowledge of 13003-1 Fig 1 to get this knowledge.
This looks like RO knowledge though. As far as if the plant needs tripped before the pump. An RO should know what the max power is that a RCP can be tripped without tripping the plant first. Swapped out.

S 067AA2.14 001 This doesnt appear to meet the K/A. The K/A is looking for equipment affected in a particular fire suppression activities. In this case, if you want to ask what the crew must do due to this fire that would work. The second question does not appear to be related to the first question at all.
