ES-401 Written Examination Review Worksheet Form ES-401-9 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 - 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 meet 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?
8. At a minimum, explain any U ratings (e.g., how the Appendix B psychometric attributes are not being met).

Stem Focus: Reword question to remove assuming it functions correctly. They should already assume that it functions correctly unless told otherwise.

- Removed assuming it functions correctly.

Stem Focus: The explanation states that the bypass breakers (I assume BYA) only have UV coils. The correct answer states that RTB and BYA breakers are opened by shunt trip and UV coils. This would mean that there are no correct answers. Modify the question but keep the general idea the same.

- Re-worded stem question to clearly indicate that the UV and Shunt trip did open both breakers. Understand how this could have implied that they did. Changed UV to SSPS to be more detailed. Ok 12/24 KDS 2 H 1 B U 009 EA2.11 S LOD: This should probably be a two part question to get the difficulty higher.

KA. 036 is fuel handling accident. I dont see anything in the question pertaining to an accident.

Cred Dist: At 89%, its not plausible that you need to add primary water to the PRT. At 129 degrees, its not plausible that you need to add primary water to heat up or cool down the PRT.

-modified question by raising pressure and lowering level in stem.

Now A is the correct answer and the plausibility of the distracters is improved. Will update DA if acceptable.

ATL changed level to 71% Ok 12/24 KDS 34 H 2 X X B U/E 008 K3.03 S Stem Focus: The oil cooler low flow really makes it hard not to pick bearings overheating. Can you give a valve closure without the alarms to give the same answers.

Cred Dist: With low oil flow alarms in, operating indefinitely is not plausible.

-the alarms in are for low cooling flow to the oil coolers not low oil flow.

Stem Focus: I will need something from engineering that states that you would expect safety valve leakage if containment temp increases from 110 to 130 degrees. Other than that, I dont see any answers as plausible. Even the correct answer.

-discuss, reference material covers concerns listed above. At SQN this is a valid situation.

At what temp would you require to shutdown or de-energize equipment? This may be a good direction for this question.

Ok 12/24 KDS 40 H 3 B E/S 025 A3.02 S This question explanations are confusing. If I get the alarm once (at

24) if level turns around and the alarm clears, A is correct. The alarm will have to be acknowledged before it would reflash is that correct. If so, we need to add a bullet. Lets walk through this question to make sure of whats going on.

-discuss - will explain as it is assumed that the operator acknowledged alarm. Ok 12/24 KDS 41 F 1 M U 026 G2.2.36 S LOD: Assuming that the 1A-A CS pump is powered from the 1A-A Bus (and associated 1A-A DG) why would you not think that its operability is affected?

The question concept appears to be ok. The time below 220 psig has to be very specific. I would recommend a timeline so there is no doubt about the duration below 220 psig. It would be too easy to appeal as it is written.

-the requested time line would be in seconds and would be the first time the examinees saw a question like this. Recommend leaving as is.

ATL added after the alarm is received to question stem Ok 12/24 KDS 45 H 3 M E 061 K1.07 S Do you need the last bullet? It appears that if the alarm is in (you can assume its valid), the clock starts.

-yes, to show that the motors and the turbine AFW pumps are less in alarm.

What are the travel times for the valves. From the plausibility statement it appears that if the alarm is in for 5.5 seconds, the valves will start to open. As long as the travel times dont stretch the time out over 60 seconds, the question appears to be ok.

-stroke times are <42 seconds Ok 12/24 KDS 46 F 3 N S 061 K6.01 47 H 3 B E 062 A1.01 S Stem Focus: Change answer A to remove the word other. 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> would seem to be more plausible than 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />.

Cred Dist: Not plausible to think that you could not continue the release A.

No action required is not valid either, C not valid.

Ask as a 2 part. Release will terminate automatically/require manual termination.

After batch samples are obtained and the release is reinitiated, periodic sampling during the release is/is not required. Something to that effect.

-created 2 X 2 as requested ATL changed question stem to have rad monitor INOP and reworded second question to reflect ODCM wording regarding batch sampling Ok 12/24 KDS 72 F 1/2 B U G2.3 S Cred Dist: 1st part of A&B doesnt appear to be plausible. The plausibility statement is confusing to read so if you can explain why this would be valid after a CRI, it may be ok.

With A&C, explain why you wouldnt want the emerg press fans operating.if you can prove plausibility with the procedure, this may be ok. This question will need much more plausibility information than what is in the existing statements. Otherwise you may need to start over.

-Discuss, updated DA. The 125 RM normally monitors the MCR intake and actually initiates the CRI. This makes it plausible. It gets isolated on a CRI though or it would continue monitoring. Stopping the Emergency Pressurization fan is plausible as the CRI procedure actually has conditions where the fans are shut down depending on wind direction during an event.

Need to put some kind of time line on the conditions. Would I HAVE TO WAIT until I reached 1250 psig. If I were ate 1280 and decreasing and thought that 1250 psig was immanent, would I be wrong to secure them?

- Normally the operators do not trip RCPs early, the procedure direction is if RCS pressure is less than 1250 psig and an SI pump is running then trip RCPs I referenced the reference package from 2013-301 in E-1 and it appears that I get to the decision to go to ES-1.2 (Step 15) before I get to the step for RHR spray (Step 17). So to me it looks as if I would already have transitioned to ES-1.2 before I go to the point in the procedure that the question suggests. There may be no correct answers.

The premise of the question appears to be ok but the conditions need to be specific enough so the correct parts are definitely correct and the incorrect parts are definitely not correct.

- Reworded stem to have values for PZR pressure and CNMT pressure at the transition to E-1, and supporting parameters that are observed after PZR safety valve goes closed.
