[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).

1. Q does not meet K/A statement. K/A requires some knowledge of RCP trip requirements as they apply to vapor space accidents. You can delete all of the information in the given section and answer the Q solely by fundamental knowledge of Rule 2 without having to even recognize one is in a vapor space accident situation.

2. There may be a relatively easy way to fix the Qput some of the information in the Q statement in the conditions of the Q as follows to elicit analysis of conditions from the applicants. For example, give two SCM readings in the initial conditions of the Q, then give two SCM readings in the current conditions (the correct SCM would be reading less than zero). Then ask for first part Q whether or not all RCPs have to be secured based on the given conditions.

3. Editorial: no apostrophe needed for RCPs, apostrophe designates possession instead of plurality.

4. Second part distractors A(2) and C(2): lets discuss during review to ensure they are logically false, if we tie the Q into a vapor space accident its probably o.k.

Q appears U as submitted, could be reclassified as E based on hopefully ease of correction.

Facility licensee modified Q as requested by the NRC, reclassified as an E rather than a U for quality purposes. Q now appears ready to be administered on the examination.

MKM 11/17/2014 K/A 009EA2.23 2 H 2 X N N/A N E

1. Q does not meet K/A statement and has most of the same issues as Q1 above specifically, that the given conditions can be deleted and the Q asked as a fundamental knowledge of Rule 2, no analysis of conditions associated with SBLOCAs or RCP operating parameters are required.

2. Like in the above Q, we should be able to fix the Q by placing required information in the Q stem. For example, give SBLOCA conditions and RCP parameters which are operating limits that have been exceeded. But it has been greater than two minutes, so now do you trip the RCP or not? Then well probably be good with K/A match issue.

Q appears U as submitted, could be reclassified as E based on hopefully easy correction.

Facility licensee modified Q as requested by the NRC, Q is reclassified as an E based on ease of correction. Q now appears ready to be administered on the examination.

1. Q does not meet K/A statement. K/A requires applicant to demonstrate knowledge of the consequences of thermal shock, but such knowledge is not elicited from the Q. First part of the Q does not meet K/A, second part statement teaches the applicant that seal injection flow is re-established slowly to prevent thermal shock to a component; applicant then answers the Q by knowing which component.

2. Second part Q distractors of thermal barrier are non plausible. Q statement specifically asks about restoration of RCP seal injection; it is therefore evident that RCP seal injection impacts RCP seals in a comparison to the thermal barrier. Why would an applicant think that incorrect restoration of RCP seal injection damages the thermal barrier but not RCP seals?

3. Q says it is modified, but no basis Q is provided in the Q writeup sections (either Q Source or Development References). Please provide Q source as reference.

Q appears U at this time due to not meeting the K/A statement and due to multiple non plausible distractors.

Facility licensee proposed new Q to meet this K/A statement. New Q was modified slightly in agreement with both facility licensee and NRC. Newly modified Q appears ready to administer on this examination.

1. Q does not meet K/A, which requires some link between entry into TS and a loss of CCW condition. First part Q elicits information concerning letdown temperature setpoint, second part Q elicits information concerning Pzr level.

2. Second part Q may be minutia? Are RO applicants required to know/be able to differentiate between the actual TS requirement setpoints and the PT instrument error setpoint bands? May not be an issue because I believe the Q requires other modifications anyway.

Q appears U at this time due to not meeting K/A statement.

Facility licensee explained during review that at Oconee the CCW system is not a safety-related SSC included in TS/SLCs and that at Oconee the LPSW system was the heat sink system for safety related equipment such as HPI pumps. Chief Examiner allowed extension of the K/A match to loss of LPSW based on the design of the Oconee station. Facility licensee will propose new Q based on these considerations. Initial submitted Q is re-rated as E rather than U based on this discussion with the licensee.

Facility licensee submitted new Q to match loss of LPSW and entry-level conditions for TS. Analysis and comments on new Q: Q=K/A, Q is on RO level. Believe this is a higher cognitive Q based on analysis of second part Q. Second part Q statement uses a (1) in the fill-in-the blank, should be a (2); otherwise looks o.k. New submitted Q is ready for administration on the examination.

2. Phrasing of first part Q (MINIMUM condition(s).) is somewhat confusing. Typically it is better to test only the logical differences in the answer choices. If all the answer choices contain a piece of information, then that piece of information must be logically a true and you are not testing anything to do with that piece of information. Recommend changing the first part Q to test whether AIA does/does NOT supply backup control air to 1HP-31. (which from a strictly logical perspective is all that is being tested anyway).

2. Some of the modifications to the basis Q appear to have lessened the plausibility of the distractors. Discussion is as follows: In the given conditions, we are told that the inverter has lost normal input powerso why would we want to realign to the inverter as specified in distractor A? For distractors C and D, are there any NIs at Oconee that have backup power supplies that automatically transfer based on switch alignments?

Finally, distractor D non plausible due to interplay between an automatic transfer and a static switch.

3. These plausibility concerns would seemingly be fixed using the pedigree Q from ILT39.

Q appears U at this time due to multiple non plausible distractors.

1. Q=K/A, Second part Q is on RO level; however, the first part Q is at the SRO-only level. First part Q requires the applicant to have detailed EOP transition knowledge (procedure selection) beyond entry conditions. Is it an RO function or an SRO/procedure reader function to determine the EOP tabs and priorities to be entered following Subsequent Actions? For example, on the SRO exam Q95 and Q99 are SRO only based on procedure selection of EOP tabs.

Q appears U at this time due to SRO only knowledge required on the RO exam/license level mismatch.

Based on facility licensee input, the first transition after Subsequent Actions is RO level knowledge and all subsequent procedural transitions are SRO level knowledge.

1. Q is RO level; however, Q does not meet the K/A statement. Although a natural circ situation is provided, the Q does not test any knowledge related to annunciator alarms, indications, or alarm response procedures as required by the K/A. The first part Q is knowledge of a Rule 7 setpoint; the second part Q is major action mitigation of the FCD EOP tab when voids are seen to be formed in the Rx vessel head. To meet the K/A we need to test some aspect of annunciator alarms or recognition of plant conditions based on annunciator alarms; or other indications associated with annunciators; or alarm/annunciator response procedures.

1. Q=K/A, Q is on RO level.

2. There is excessive overlap with this Q and Q4 which makes multiple distractors non plausible. Based on information in Q4, the applicants will know that RCP trip causes a runback to either 74% power or 65% powerin either case, not 55%. That makes distractor A non plausible. The second part of Q4 teaches the applicants that D(2) cannot be true; therefore distractor D is non plausible. Further, the structure of Q4 lends a lot of credence to correct answer B.

Q appears U at this time due to overlap between Q4 leading to multiple non plausible distractors.

1. Q=K/A, Q is on RO level.

2. Q is potentially U due to overlap between this Q and the simulator JPM a which also requires a Rx trip due to high CRDM temperature. Discussion is as follows: Applicants will have just seen the simulator JPM and just had to trip at 180 degrees, therefore the 140 degree distractors are non plausible. Either the JPM or this Q will need to be changed.

3. Second part Q is somewhat confusingwhich RCW system temperatures are we asking about, and when (timing concern e.g., before or after the Rx trip, does it matter?). If we want to keep this Q as is, we will need to be more specific with what we are asking with the second part Q.

Q is potentially U or E based on the above discussions.

Facility licensee changed the simulator JPM so that it is no longer an alternate path JPM and therefore resolved any concerns over excessive overlap.

3. It is common knowledge that the turbine trips on a Rx trip from 100% power. What specific impact would instrument air have on the Main Turbine that AP/22 would specifically direct operators to manually trip both the Rx and the Turbine? Distractors B and D are non plausible. Giving benefit of the doubt here based on presumed ease of correction: just put the power level in the 10-15% range as long at it is below the Rx trip/Turbine trip interlock.

2. Not stopping control rod withdrawal is weakly plausible, would there be any adverse consequences if rod withdrawal is stopped? To enhance plausibility recommend specifying withdrawal of safety rods vice control rods. Per the distractor analysis, we need to specify that extra operators are available in the control room. Recommend modifying the first bullet to state: Reactor startup in progress with extra licensed operators available in the control room. Recommend modifying the third bullet to state:

Operators are withdrawing CRD Safety Rods, when 1SA-03/E-7 (TO Bearing Header Pressure Low) actuates unexpectedly. Then delete control from control rod in the first part Q. I believe plausibility will be enhanced with these changes, Oconee please evaluate/discuss.

Q appears U at this time due to SRO-level concerns and multiple correct answers.

Facility licensee initially proposed a new Q that was deemed unsatisfactory based upon the first part Q construction. Facility licensee then proposed another version of the first part Q along with the second part Q from the second attempt. Analysis of this Q:

Q=K/A, Q is on RO level. Editorial recommendations:

-for parallelism with Q69, change colon to for the in accordance with statement

-change second part question mark to a period, add WOOTF statement as follows: Which ONE of the following completes the statements above?

Facility licensee made changes as requested above. Third version of the Q, with changes, is ready for administration on the examination.

Q appears U at this time due to overlap concerns with Q77 as well as multiple non plausible distractors.

Facility licensee proposed new version of this Q. Analysis of this new Q is as follows:

Q=K/A, Q is on RO level. As an editorial recommendation to the second part Q, I would recommend adding a based on the given conditions statement to ensure the applicants clearly relate this Q to a plant alignment with RCPs operating. Maybe something like 2)

If I am reading AP/18 correctly, section H directs the operators to verify the containment evacuation alarm, and only in the RNO column of that step directs the evacuation of non-essential personnel from the RB. Do we need to state that the evacuation alarm did not sound? And do we need to specify which personnel we mean in the second part Q? Lets discuss during review, if we need to we should be able to make some modifications for this Q to work.

Distractor analysis states that during a LOHT all but one RCP would be tripped; assuming there are other events where all RCPs are tripped. If the event was a security event, would none of the RCPs be tripped? Since we do not specify event there are either multiple correct answers, or potentially no correct answer.

Q as submitted appears U due to multiple correct answers.

Based on facility licensee feedback, event in progress that requires SSF ASW activation is specific under all circumstances that all RCPs would be secured upon entry into AP/25.

1. Q=K/A, Q=SRO-only. Some benefit-of-the doubt given here; knowledge of system limits and precautions is normally considered RO-level. However, given the need to meet the K/A, and because the limit and precautions relates to an operability determination linked to detailed analysis of plant conditions (an SRO function), the proposed Q is considered to meet the K/A on the SRO level.

2. First part Q statement: please use all caps for OPERABLE and INOPERABLE throughout the exam for consistency, e.g. first part Q statement should read make the 1HP-120 Travel Stop INOPERABLE.

3. Second part Q statement is confusing as to what is being asked, specifically the phrasing of additional operator actions to mitigate an LTOP event are required.

4. Second part Q statement distractors of 25 minutes are non plausible. The provided reference for Q86 is TS 3.4.12, which clearly states in LCO 3.4.12.b. that 10 minutes is the correct time. Therefore, the correct answer is provided as a direct look-up and the 25 minute distractors are not plausible.

Q is U due to direct look-up of correct answer in the provided references to another Q, which also makes multiple distractors non plausible.

Facility licensee modified the second part Q with a new question, along with modifying the first part Q. New Q appears ready to administer at this time.

MKM 11/17/2014 Based on final facility licensee validations, facility recommended editorial changes to the first part Q statement to make the Q statement more clear. NRC concurred with the facility recommendations. Q as modified is still ready to administer at this time.

OCONEE Nuclear Station December 2014 ILO Exam K/A 027AA2.18 77 H 2 X Y N N U

1. Q=K/A, Q does not meet the K/A on SRO-only level. The first part Q can be determined via RO-level systems knowledge (whether the spray valve is operating as designed or not). Second part Q is testing knowledge of SL bases that does not relate to the K/A statement of determining operability of the pressurizer pressure control system channel.

2. Second part Q distractors are not plausible. It is RO level knowledge (above-the-line) to know that the RCS Pressure Safety Limit is applicable in MODE 5whether or not RCPs are running, PZR is solid, etc. If no RCPs are running, it is common knowledge that the spray valve will be ineffective at mitigating an overpressure transient; therefore, it is not plausible that it would be credited in design-space, accident analysis as the basis of safety limits in TS.

Q is U due to not meeting the K/A at SRO level, and due to multiple non plausible distractors.

Facility licensee proposed a new Q to meet this K/A. New Q meets K/A on SRO level based on seat leakage past PORV considered as the malfunction, and determination of PORV operable or not is consistent with determination of operable PZR pressure control channel. Q as proposed appears ready to administer at this time.

The provided SRO justification statement is linked to the second part Q, but the second part Q statement is not linked to the K/A, in that no knowledge of flowpath is required to answer the Q.

2. First part distractors are not plausible. With the reactor at 90% power, it is not plausible that operators would not use all available means to maintain pressurizer level.

Q is U due to not meeting the K/A at the SRO level, and due to multiple non plausible distractors.

1. Q=K/A, Q=SRO only with benefit of doubt given and changes recommended below.

Discussion is as follows: Knowledge of when manual reactor trip is required is RO-level knowledge. With the recommendations below, SRO only is better met due to procedure selection. The best way to test procedure selection is to write the Q statement such that the answer choices are the procedure designator and title.

2. First part Q distractor: I believe from looking at the generator capability curve in AP/34 that the leading MVAR limit should be 425, not 475i.e., 475 is not plausible.

Benefit of doubt given here because it may have been a typo and due to ease of correction. Need to change C(1) and D(1) to 425.

3. Recommendation is to re-write the second part Q as follows: If operation in the acceptable region of the Generator Capability Curve cannot be maintained, the NEXT required procedure transition is to Initiate ___(2)___ while continuing with AP/34. Then answer choice A(2) and C(2) becomes Unit 1 EOP and B(2) and D(2) becomes AP/1 (Unit Runback)

2. Cognitive level: this Q requires analysis of plant conditions, use of graphs and other reference materials, and application of TS. Believe this is a higher cog question, not memory-level.

3. Stem focus editorial changes: (1) undo all caps STABLE for current conditions Rx power. (2) recommend write Gr 7 control rods in current conditions same as in initial conditions. (3) all caps INOPERABLE

4. Do we need to add RCP status based on COLR graphs? Or, is it impossible to be at 80% power and stable with 3 RCPS running?

5. Unsure about the logic of the Q. If rods are at 40% withdrawn at 0500, then they crossed into the unacceptable region of the curves some time ago, and wouldnt that (unknown to the applicant) time be the start of the clock of when MODE 3 entry is required?

6. Main problem with this Q is that the 2nd part of the Q gives away the 1st part answer, because the reference is given and it is a logical true that you are in TS 3.2.1 condition B, which requires boration to be initiated within 15 minutes. Therefore, distractors C(1) and D(1) are not plausible.

Q as submitted is U due to multiple non plausible distractors.

Consider the following recommendation, Oconee please check if it is technically valid:

Given the following Unit 1 conditions:

Initial conditions:

-Time = 0400

-Reactor Power = 80% stable

-Control Rods Group 7 = 83% withdrawn

-Group 7 Rod 3 will not move and is declared INOPERABLE Current conditions:

-Time = 0500

-Reactor Power = 80% stable

-Control Rods Group 7 = 61% withdrawn In accordance with Tech Spec 3.2.1 (Regulating Rod Position Limits), if the above conditions do not change the reactor is required to be in MODE 3 not later than

_______.

3. The provided reference gives away too many clues to the correct answer to make the distractor of LCO 3.0.3 plausiblefor example, the SR statements for SR 3.4.12.3 and SR 3.4.12.6 essentially tell the applicant that pressurizer level is one of the administrative controls; therefore, entry into LCO 3.4.12 Condition F is an obvious determination.

4. I believe other information is required in the stem to give applicants a better picture of plant conditionsfor example, whether or not vent paths are open, CFT status, etc.

1. Q=K/A, Q=SRO only.

2. The second part Q gives away the answer to the first part Q in the following manner:

it is stated as a logical truth that TS 3.3.1 requires CRD trip breakers to be open at some point of time in the future. Therefore, logically it is impossible that an automatic Rx trip has occurred because TS 3.3.1 would not apply in the future. This makes A(1) and B(1) non plausible.

3. The provided reference of Table 3.3.1-1 gives away far too much information.

Although not the most desirable option, if we want to continue to use a question related to this specification we will need to redact nearly every bit of information on the Table except line 6 and the Notes (a), (b), and (c) at the end of the Table. If this is unacceptable due to operational validity concerns, we may need to discuss another option to meet this K/A topic. Lets discuss during review.

2. There is a lot of overlap between this Q and Q83; both Qs deal with knowledge of SGTR tab procedure requirements given the conditions of a SGTR in the 1A SG with overfill concerns. Other Qs that deal with procedure requirements of the SGTR tab include Q78, Q95, and Q100 is also an E-plan call based in part on a SGTR. Out of 25 questions this would potentially make SGTR 25% of the SRO exam. I know it is important to correctly mitigate SGTRs as a licensed SRO but this seems excessive. We will likely need to replace either this Q or Q83, I would recommend replacing this Q because it is a Tier 3 Generic K/A - there is no reason why we need to specifically use SGTR casualty as a Q basis.

3. Q would be rated an E on its own merit, but I think we should replace this Q per the discussion above.

Q appears to be E, but will need to replace the Q due to overlap concerns with Q83 and others already on the SRO exam. Tier 3 Generic K/As can be tied to any topic and do not necessarily need to be related to SGTR.

Facility licensee proposed completely new Q based on the above considerations. New Q meets K/A, was modified due to NRC input to change second part distractors for plausibility concerns. Final Q as modified appears ready to administer on the examination.

OCONEE Nuclear Station December 2014 ILO Exam K/A G2.4.41 100 H 2 X Y Y B E

1. Q=K/A, Q=SRO only.

2. Minor editorial commentwe can remove the double quotes for 1A SG in the first bullet under time = 1200 and in the third bullet under time = 1207 for consistency throughout the exam.

Q appears E at this time.

Facility licensee made minor change as requested. Q now appears ready to administer on the examination.
