Partial Job-Link Minutia #/ units Back-ward Q= K/A SRO Only [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). Q# 1. LOK (F/H) 2. LOD (1-5) 3. Psychometric Flaws 4. Job Content Flaws 5. Other 6.

Work in unit differences when appropriate. 2. Ensure annunciator noun names are consistently written through the exam, i.e. a comma, capitalized title, quotation marks, etc. The same for procedure titles. 3. Be consistent with the which one of the following completes the following statement or statements. 4. Be consistent through the exam with caps or bold for parameter directions i.e. detector failed HIGH. 5. Change "should be" and "will be" language to what are the requirements or what do procedures direct. 6. When using bank Questions, rearrange the answer choices such that the correct answer is not always the same letter choice as the original Question unless there is a reason not to do so. i.e. answer choice length or numerical order. 1 F 2 X N E Do the statalarms input directly to trip confirm lamp?

Q appears ready to be administered on the examination. ASG 11/6/15 5 F 2 N Y N S Question is U due to KA match: the question does not ask for the reason Tave shifts to the loop with the highest flow, just what signal causes it to shift. Too difficult to come up with an operationally valid reason for the shift other than "because it's more accurate." After discussion with CE, accepted as a KA match. Question is SAT. Spacing of Answer choice A is different than the others.- corrected. Q appears ready to be administered on the examination. ASG 11/6/15 6 F 2 X N U B2 and D2 distractor is not plausible. It doesn't make sense to have RCP thermal barrier system just to prevent a temperature rise in the LDST. Also there is a separate seal return cooler that performs this function. Changed distractors B2 and D2 to improve plausibility. Q appears ready to be administered on the examination.

The second part essentially asks to choose between doing nothing with the affected SG or stop steaming the affected SG. Potential fix: because discontinue steaming is so strong, maybe it should be in the question stem and test the next actions to take. i.e. Align blowdown to lower level or verify other SG is available for continuing cooldown. 11 H 3 X B ILT46 Q10 E Mix up correct answer letter for Bank questions This question looks like a Modified Q rather than a Bank Q.

The first question asks where the turbines are being controlled (with given conditions of reactor power and positions of FDW master controllers, reactor diamond, and main and startup FDW valves):

the motor gear unit or the motor speed changer. This can be answered without knowledge of the KA. The second question asks whether runback of main feed water will occur automatically on reactor trip. Again, this can be answered without knowledge of the KA.

42 F 2 N E Recommend adding a comma in the question statement: "-degrees F, and we ensure this-"

43 F 2 x N E AP-1 says to lower power to less than or equal to X. Question wording "-power reduction to a MINIMUM of ___" is confusing. The direction in the AP gives a maximum power by saying less than or equal to. Recommend changing second part to "AP-1 requires a Manual power reduction to _____. and change the choices to 65 or 74 or AP-1 states that -.

Although there are differences between the two questions, is this question is actually modified rather than new?

50 H 2 M ILT46 Q49 S 51 H 2 M ILT44 Q41 E First question can be seen as a cue to the second question. Recommend switching the order of the questions and slightly rewording to avoid using the word "only" and therefore eliminate any possibility that someone could argue "no correct answer" if there is any follow up action associated with RB purge termination such as procedure direction to close PR-1 and 6. 1) Automatic termination of RB Purge [does/does NOT] close 1PR-1 and 1PR-6; Under the given conditions, automatic termination of RB Purge operation due to increasing activity [is/is NOT] available.

Partial Job-Link Minutia #/ units Back-ward Q= K/A SRO Only 53 H 2 N E Recommend rewording the first question for clarity and to enhance distractor plausibility: "An increase in LPSW flow to the Component Coolers [is/is NOT] required in order to maintain 3A Letdown Cooler Component Cooling outlet temperature constant from 1200 - 1230." The second question is a borderline tack-on. However, since the question involves and increasing letdown line temperature due to the cooler leak, requiring an increase in LPSW flow to the cooler, the second question is related.

54 F 2 x B ILT41 Q52 E Add "no operator actions" Does the fact that the Backup IA compressors are in STBY1 need to be specified in the stem to ensure there are not two correct answers? If an applicant can reasonably think that the Backup IA compressor could be in STBY2, then both C and A would be correct. This question does not appear to overlap with Question 64. Although both questions have IA pressure around 90 psig and decreasing (91 psig and decreasing in Q54), Q64 requires knowledge of alignment of station air to IA (auto or manual) at IA=85 psig. Q54 requires knowledge of automatic set points of IA compressors. None of the distractors rely on an 85 psig set point. 55 H 2 M ILT46 Q54 S 56 F 2 B ILT41 Q56 S Q# 1. LOK (F/H) 2. LOD (1-5) 3.

Spell out inches throughout the exam. 58 H 2 x N E Question appears to meet the KA, in that failure of 1HP-120 is a malfunction of the pressurizer level control system, and the question asks for the impact on the PZR heaters, which is part of the pressurizer pressure control system. Recommend adding the word "begins" under Time = 1230 to tighten up the fact that there is one and only one correct answer: "Pressurizer level begins decreasing at 1" per minute". The determination if HPI is available is part of the IMAs, and therefore RO knowledge. However, the second half of the question goes one step further and asks if 1HP-5 will be shut by the procedure, which is contained in the subsequent actions. Need to make sure that the second half of the question is expected RO level knowledge. Is an RO expected to know that 1HP-5 is only closed when there are no HPI pumps operating under the given conditions? If so, the question appears to be SAT (with the above recommended modification). Otherwise, the second question will need to be modified. Need to add which one of the following statement. Double quotes to inches.

Why, in the second bullet say "very slowly" versus slowly? Does it change anything? 60 H 2 x M ILT46 Q45 E Question appears to be SAT, but need to look at overlap with Q61 and low vacuum conditions. Giving the actual set point of MFP low vacuum trip in Q 61 answer choices gives this question away. Fix Q61 will make this SAT 61 H 2 X X X N E The distractor analysis states that the distractor (555) would be correct if Reactor Power was > 29.75%. The conditions in the stem give reactor power at 25% and slowing increasing and turbine vacuum at 27"HG and degrading. No rates are given. Without the rates, there is no definitive single correct answer, since both could be argued to be correct (one is correct if vacuum is degrading faster than power is increasing, and the other would be correct if power is increasing faster than the vacuum is degrading). To fix this, as well as to make the first question more meaningful, recommend giving a series of times, power levels, and turbine vacuum readings. The first question can ask the earliest time at which a turbine trip should have occurred (should also fix overlap with Q 60), and the second can ask what Tave will stabilize at (same as current second question). The words "stabilize from the transient" imply the reactor did not trip and too strongly points to the correct answer.

In the stem of the question, the conditions indicate primary to secondary leakage that is worsening, and the first part of the question (which meets the KA) elicits knowledge of determining the leak rate from the process rad monitor readings. The second part of the question places the applicant in the SGTR tab and asks the maximum RCS temp allowed when isolating the affected SG. Both deal with primary to secondary leakage, but the jump is a far and the two halves are not very closely related. The third bullet in the stem is actually unnecessary to answer the question. Maybe actions from AP for tube leak, or ask if entry conditions met? 63 H 2 X N U There are subset issues with the answer choices- a tank that is sampled for hydrogen within 24h (the correct answer) will also be sampled within 48h (incorrect). Similarly, a tank that must be reduced within 24h (incorrect) will also be reduced within 48h (correct). The subset issue makes it so there are two correct answers for the first question, and although there is only one correct answer for the second question, it renders the distractor implausible (NUREG rules of usage/logic- there can be only one correct answer, and if someone were to choose 24, that would mean there were two correct answers, therefore the correct answer must be 48). This should be able to be solved by asking: within a maximum of ___ hours for both halves or using a time line. Tie the question into what do the procedure say? or make it a time line question. For instance, taking the watch, while reviewing logs, time tank isolated, time sampled (is/is not acceptable by procedure), reduce H2 by time ____.

The second question asks if a water fog can be used to fight a fire at the switchgear. However, the KA asks the operational implication of the effect of the water spray on electrical components. The questions are asked in such a way that knowledge of the fire protection system and using a water fog on 1TA is not needed to answer the first question (bypassing the intent of the KA). Per CE, OK to ask about use of fog pattern with water on electrical equip. However still need to meet KA by asking about operational implication of using the fog pattern on it. i.e. does the fire plan require deenergizing swgr prior to using a fog? are there any super important things that are allowed to be fogged vs anything that must be deenergized?
