The stem or distractors contain cues (i.e., clues. specific determiners, phrasing, length, etc).

(th e fact that an SRV is open after a LOFP doesn't= ATWS at time 0) Also do you think it is fair to ask an operator to diagnose an A TWS and not give them control rod or APRM info. Maybe we should say you are the BOP and observe the conditions. RESOLUTION
The distractors are not credible; single implausible distractors should be repaired , more than one is unacceptable.
: Added time = 5 minutes. And justified question based on operator training.
One or more distractors is (are) partially correct (e.g., if the applicant can make unstated assumptions that are not contradicted by stem).

This question has two problems
: 1) the IRMs run in dry tubes that extend from the below the reactor vessel to the top guide. So there is no correct answer.
: 2) the dry tub is inserted into a guide tub . So both the "IRMs are within a dry tube" and "the IRMs are with in a guide tube" would be correct.

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 (LOO) 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 KIA 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 fo r conformance with the approved KIA and those that are designated SRO-only (KIA 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 0 .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?
: a. At a minimum, explain any "U" ratings (e.g., how the Appendix B psychometric attributes are not being met).

Q# LOK LOO (F/H) (1-5) Stem Cues T/F Cred. Partial Job- Minutia #I Back- Q= SRO B/M/N U/E/S Explanation Focus Dist. Link units ward KIA Only 1 L 3 x x y N u The stem states "IRM detectors are withdrawn from the core region during power operation within a tube which extends from the core plate up to the top guide." This question has two problems

1) the IRMs run in dry tubes that extend from the below the reactor vessel to the top guide. So there is no correct answer.
2) the dry tub is inserted into a guide tub . So both the "IRMs are within a dry tube" and "the IRMs are with in a guide tube" would be correct.

RESOLUTION: Question replaced 2 H 3 y B s 3 L 3 y B E The stem now reads Which ONE of the following will generate a reactor scram SIGNAL as a result of this loss of power?" Consider changing "SIGNAL* to "input signal". The stem conditions would only be a 'h scram?

RESOLUTION: Change made

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 (LOO) 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 KIA 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 fo r conformance with the approved KIA and those that are designated SRO-only (KIA 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 0 .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?
a. At a minimum, explain any "U" ratings (e.g., how the Appendix B psychometric attributes are not being met).

or at the 15ft 1 inch (Answer C)

RESOLUTION: Question revised.

(the fact that an SRV is open after a LOFP doesn't= ATWS at time 0) Also do you think it is fair to ask an operator to diagnose an ATWS and not give them control rod or APRM info. Maybe we should say you are the BOP and observe the conditions.

RESOLUTION: Added time = 5 minutes. And justified question based on operator training.
