FREE SAMPLE March 2020 GFE Q28 NRC: Distractor B can be argued as a second correct or partial correct answer based on how it is worded.

The first part is true as efficiency will lower due to loss of extraction steam. The second part describes what is occurring in that less steam will go to the turbine when the TCVs close down to address the decrease in steam header pressure due to colder feedwater entering the reactor. It seems that this distractor was written to be the opposite of Distractor A which attempts to address the fact that if less steam is extracted from the turbine the applicant could assume more steam would go to the turbine causing load to go up.

I am also not really sold on Distractor C for plausibility, but do not have a better recommendation.

Response: Changed B to lower, because decreased steam flow caused Main Turbine Control Valve #4 to close more to maintain Rx pressure - Incorrect since Perry uses partial arc admission and TCV #4 is fully closed up to 85% power.

Changed C to, the same as before because Rx Power was returned to 80% power - Incorrect since plant efficiency lowers and MWe lowers (20 MWe for this scenario).

FREE SAMPLE Meets Tier 1 requirements per ES-4.2 because the question addresses the progression of an event.

Perry 2015 NRC Exam Q26 NRC: This question should be considered a bank question. The change to the question stem and the correct answer were not substantive enough to meet the criteria in ES-4.2 to be considered modified. In both instances steam from the reactor vessel will not have sufficient water level in the suppression pool to be quenched even considering the two different pathways the steam would travel.

The question does not meet the KA. The answer and Distractors A and D are linked to the lowering suppression pool level and have little to do with the high drywell pressure. Distractor B could be argued is implausible as I am not aware of a situation where drywell integrity would be impacted by an emergency depressurization. The question seems to want to test the applicants knowledge of changing plant conditions since specific rates of change are given but there is no need to assess them. Perhaps if the applicant had to assess them and compare the rising drywell pressure condition to other conditions listed, I could consider the KA to be a match.

Response: Agree that submitted question does not meet KA.

In a Mark III containment, a primary leak in the drywell will result in rising DW pressure and temperature and as long as suppression pool level is adequately maintained, no adverse effects to containment will result. Therefore, submitted a new question that ties DW pressure to containment integrity via inadequate suppression pool level.

Since this is a New question, changed pedigree sheet to New from Bank and is a Lower Order question.

NRC: Distractor A appears that it should be 7.25 ft based on references provided to avoid damage to RCIC and/or HPCS.

Correction to Distractor A was made. Question is now SAT.

Perry 2002 Retake NRC Exam Q14 NRC: This question includes a subset with regards to the correct answer and the distractors. Specifically, when the applicant assesses either temperature or pressure the higher value has to be correct or else a subset would exist. Specifically, if 90F were correct then 100F must be correct as well. Therefore, 90F and 1.5 psig can be eliminated as possible answer choices. This question is considered an E because it was used on a previous NRC exam. Adding the term lowest to the question stem would most likely remove the subset concern.

Response: Buses L11 & L12 are fed from UAT at power and supply fast speed Recirc Pumps. On a normal scram, Buses L11 & L12 would transfer to the S/U transformer via bus L10. However, on a LOOP, all L buses would be deenergized causing a loss of Recirc pumps and RPS.

Normally, following a Rx scram with all control rods inserted, IRMs are on Range 3 or lower and lowering by the time the RO is able to insert them. IRMs on Range 8 indicate that a low power ATWS (<4%) is present and Rx pressure must be maintained as high as practicable.

Since this was a previous NRC exam question, it is considered an enhancement even with 2 implausible distractors. There is not an immediate entry condition in RPV Control for containment temperature. It should be evident that the crew would have to initially enter the EOPs in the Primary Containment Control procedure. Perhaps a better way to ask the question is which procedure along with EOP-2 is required to mitigate these plant conditions? The answer choices would then be SOI-P50, EOP-SPI 2.2, SOI-M11, and ONI-C71.

NRC: This question stem does not include detailed enough information to indicate whether the LPCI injection valve would actually be open. The provided reference indicates that the injection valve opens when the RPV pressure is lowered enough to meet the permissive requirements. The answer justification indicates the valve will open on the high drywell pressure initiation setpoint.

Response: At Perry, there is a check valve between the Injection MOV and the RPV. As long as pressure between the Injection valve and the check valve is <

530 psig, the Injection valve will open when demanded. Added Reference material to demonstrate

S FREE SAMPLE PREVIOUS 2 EXAMS: Perry 2019 NRC Exam QSRO20 NRC: This question should just be considered a bank question. There was not a substantive change in a distractor/answer along with the change in the stem and the change in the stem did not result in a distractor becoming the correct answer. The question does not meet either definition of modified per NUREG 1021, Rev. 12. Based on this determination, this would count as a previous 2 exam question.

To be considered a significantly modified question, at least one pertinent condition in the stem and at least one distractor must be changed from the original bank question. Changing the conditions in the stem such that one of the three distractors in the original question becomes the correct answer would also be considered a significant modification.

Please explain what is operationally valid about the loss in power resulting in SLC not injecting. Based on the references provided, the loss in power indicated in the stem would cause the B SLC pump to lose power, but what caused the injection pathway to become obstructed such that the running pump is deadheaded causing the relief valve(s) to lift? I would argue that the original question had the same issue in that the squib valve alignment wouldnt result in a loss of a pathway to the reactor.

Response: Revised stem to make question more operationally valid. Deleted reference to line blockage and tied to loss of power to pumps and one squib valve. Changed to Bank on pedigree sheet.

S NRC: I am concerned when we say in the stem that ATWS actions are complete that the applicant can assume that CSBW has been added. Where do we draw the line by saying ATWS actions have been completed? Are all the rods in now and we are no longer in an ATWS? I think we need to be clearer there.

NRC: Loss of K-1-A or K-1-F requires a reactor scram. It is not clear that a loss of this UPS will not cause a loss of either or both of these busses. The ARP directs going to ONI R25-2 but is not specific as to which 120 VAC busses will be lost.

Response: Additional drawing 206-055 & 206-059 to support that only V-1-A and V-1-B are lost in a loss of DB-1-A. Loss of V1A and V1B will not result in any automatic RPS Trip.

Form 2.3-5 Instructions for Written Examination Review Worksheet Refer to ES-4.2 for the definitions of terms used in this worksheet for the written examination.

Review each question (Q) as submitted and as subsequently revised and document the following in the associated worksheet columns:

1. Enter the level of knowledge (LOK) as either (F)undamental or (H)igher cognitive level.
2. Enter the level of difficulty (LOD) from 1 (easy) to 5 (difficult); mark direct lookup questions (applicant can directly determine the answer from the provided reference) as LOD 1. A question is (U)nsatisfactory if it is LOD 1 or LOD 5.
3. Check the appropriate box if a psychometric flaw is identified:

Stem Focus: The stem lacks enough focus to elicit the correct answer (e.g., unclear intent, more information is needed, or too much needless information). This is an (U)nsatisfactory question.

Cues: The stem or one or more answer choices contains cues (e.g., clues, specific determiners, phrasing, length). This is an (U)nsatisfactory question.

T/F: All of the answer choices are a collection of unrelated true/false statements. This is an (U)nsatisfactory question.

Cred. Dist.: The distractors are not credible; single implausible distractors require (E)nhancement, and more than one noncredible distractor in the same question results in an (U)satisfactory question.

Partial: One or more distractors are partially correct (e.g., if the applicant can make unstated assumptions that are not contradicted by the stem). This is an (U)nsatisfactory question.

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 knowledge or ability (K/A) but, as written, is not operational in content). This is an (U)nsatisfactory question.

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). This is an (U)nsatisfactory question.

  1. /Units: The question contains data with an unrealistic level of accuracy or inconsistent units (e.g., panel meter in percent with question in gallons). This is an (U)nsatisfactory question.

Logic: The question requires backward or reverse logic or application compared to the job requirements. This is an (U)nsatisfactory question.

5. Check the first box if a K/A mismatch flaw exists. Check the second box if the question is flawed because it is written at the wrong license level. Either condition results in an (U)nsatisfactory question.
6. Enter the questions source: (B)ank, (M)odified, or (N)ew. Verify that (M)odified questions meet the criteria of ES-4.2.
7. Based on the review performed in steps 2-5, mark the question as (U)nsatisfactory, in need of (E)nhancement, or (S)atisfactory.
8. Fully explain the reason for any (U) in column 7 (e.g., how the psychometric attributes are not being met).
9. Save the initial review comments and detail subsequent comment resolution so that each exam-bound question is marked by an (S) on this form.
