- 3. Psychometric Flaws
- 4. Job Content Flaws
- 5. Other 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 to 5 (easy to difficult) rating scale (questions in the 2 to 4 range are acceptable).
- 3. Check the appropriate box if a psychometric flaw is identified:
- a. The stem lacks sufficient focus to elicit the correct answer (e.g., unclear intent, more information is needed, or too much needless information).
- b. The stem or distractors contain cues (i.e., clues, specific determiners, phrasing, length, etc).
- c. The answer choices are a collection of unrelated true/false statements.
- d. The distractors are not credible; single implausible distractors should be repaired, more than one is unacceptable.
- e. 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:
- a. 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).
- b. 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).
- c. The question contains data with an unrealistic level of accuracy or inconsistent units (e.g., panel meter in percent with question in gallons).
- d. 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 reviewer's judgment, is the question as written (U)nsatisfactory (requiring repair or replacement), in need of (E)ditorial enhancement, or (S)atisfactory?
Place the answer letter here Place the 55.41 or 55.43 item here

A 41.7 Lockout transfer relay control switch - if this switch does not exist, what makes it viable (distractors B and C)?
The Lockout Transfer Relay control switch does exist, its used when separating the Control Room controls from the RDP control, i.e. like during a fire in the control room. Other components on the RSP require an EMERGENCY switch be manipulated prior to the component switch being used.
Like a permissive, several RHR system valves require a NORM /
EMER switch being placed in EMER for the component switch to work. The SRV switches do not require and permissive switch being used.

B 43.5 REFERENCE PROVIDED. Please walk through question using the reference; not sure I can see why lowering flow would be plausible in this situation.
The objective of the actions is to reduce reactor power to get below the MELLLA Boundary, per the PF map with current core flow the target would be 73% power. Reducing core flow would reduce power, but, would still remain above the boundary line. The plausibility is knowling that power needs to be reduced and lowering core flow would reduce power but not be blow the boundary line.

43.5 I'd like to better understand why C and D are wrong, as the stem does not indicate any local indication of breaker or component damage nor a confirmed cause (or does the fault alarm do that)? Could we add in the stem, which of the following is the NEXT action that should be directed in accordance with procedural requirements?
Worded stem to say "What should be the NEXT action directed by the CRS?"
The C4 alarm suggest a possible bus fault, which would require the CRS to investigate and then restore, with Instrument air supply valve being powered by the MCC there in not enough time to investigate. Plant data shows about 2 minutes before control rods begin to drift.

If complete loss of instrument air procedure is required to be entered <80 psig, then it's still going to be required to be entered <70 psig (distractor B). Also, isolating valves seems to pale as a success path compared to getting an air compressor running (i.e. are distractors A and D really credible?) Possibly add what is the "MAXIMUM" air pressure where procedure must be entered and give indication of some kind of a leak in the stem to make A and D more plausible.

43.5 FIRST TEN. Discuss; isn't it apparent that a full core offload would minimize the need to have ECCS available? If (4) was required, wouldn't that also be covered in (2)? (2) is also pretty generic and appears that it would be correct under many circumstances (?). Why use "ECCS systems" in (2) but just "ECCS" in (4)?
Changed stem to include words from IOI on full core offload.
- 4 states to actually enter the LCO but the only requirement is to initiate a Potential LCO for 3.5.2.

43.5 I'm not sure I'm understanding the question. Why would rods not be inserted if a scram signal was generated and the IRMs were reading normal after the transient?
Is the question trying to imply that an ATWS has occurred? Maybe stem needs some adjustment (Discuss).
The applicant is required to conclude that an ATWS has occurred, therefore EP2/2A must be entered along with the Reactor Scram ONEP. With power being well beiow 5% due to being on range 7 a normal RPV level band will be given.

The SOI allows drive water DP to be raised during normal control rod movement up to 350 psid. After 350 psid is reached and rod will not move then the ONEP is entered and Inability to Withdraw Control Rods section is entered. Q now S 92 H

A 43.2 REFERENCE PROVIDED. Why is "the" necessary in front of the valve number? Why would one bellieve that more than one system/subsystem is inoperable?
Why would one believe a completion time was not met when no times are given in the stem?
Removed "the" from in front of valve number.
RHR 'A' is already INOP for LPCI due to being in Suppression Pool Cooling with the F024A open. When the F024B fails to open and trips the breaker, LPCI 'B' is still operable, but, Suppression Pool cooling for 'B' is now INOP.

Answer A & B: Performance of both of these activities must be done during an outage with the Reactor Head removed for refueling purposes.
Changed Answer A explanation to the following: Replacing of a CRD Mech. is mostly done from undervessel area, however, when the control rod is uncoupled the Refueling Bridge is used to hold the control rod while being uncoupled.
Changed Answer B explanation to the following: Removing an SRM detector from the core is done by the Refueling Bridge, but, per Tech Specs is not considered a Core Alteration. Q now S 96 F
