[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 reviewer's 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).

S G2.3.14 Knowledge of radiation or contamination hazards that may arise during normal, abnormal, or emergency conditions or activities.
Does not meet the KA statement.
A not plausible, only performed while SD or in an outage.
C not plausible, stem conditions don't support any HWC items to support a HWC malfunctions D not plausible, only performed while SD or in an outage.
This is a conductivity question per the plausibility distractor analysis.
Only need to know that resin affects conductivity to answer the question. The KA is for radiation or radiological contamination. Also, not a HCL.
R: OK with question, add radiation affects to plausibility statements.

G2.4.47 Ability to diagnose and recognize trends in an accurate and timely manner utilizing the appropriate control room reference material.
Does not meet the KA. Does not test ability to diagnose/recognize trends; the 1 st sentence in the stem is not needed. Question is not technically correct as the LPAP is not entered at 19.1% steam flow. (It's actually in the transition zone). Also the question as written in not operationally valid. Uses backwards logic.
Note: LP gives information pertaining to inverse video when in the transition zone.

Subset issue: 23% power is defined as part of MODE 1 therefore this is also correct. 2 nd part of question stem is confusing. You state hi water level twice. This is unnecessary. The basis for the indirect high water level scram from the main turbine trip instrumentation is to -
Need to change choice of hi level trip to protect turbine to something else, the correct choice is obvious by eliminating hi level trip to protect the turbine.

Could this be answered solely through use of procedure hierarchy?
The only info given is that an ARP is in alarm using the EOPs. Would you go use an OP is this situation? OP
-19 is not referenced in this ARP. OP
-17(RHR) is referenced for draining the Torus.
Also, the HPCI System lesson plan states that "Operation below 2100 rpm may result in failure of the AOP due to repeated cycling
". This does not agree with your plausibility for choice C & D. If anything , someone could confuse this with bearing damage also.

. C is not plausible. This would meet the RO responsibility. If the RO is responsible for knowing that at 95 degrees the alarm is received and expected for placing HPCI in test mode then distractor A is not plausible. Otherwise, you could never perform the test and not be a TS condition to suspend the test.
Also the correct answer "D" is a non

R: Plant is still reviewing.
7/24/14 Changes made by the licensee. Not SRO Only. Distractor C & D determined as untrue using RO Knowledge of immediate Rx trip criteria and determination of what SP bulk water temperature.
