NOTE 1: Does this question meet the requirements of FAQ 401.55; does it test information 1) from the AOP/EOPs 2) diagnosis of procedures to be used to address Generic Comments the situation 3) progression of an event, OR 4) assessment of integrated plant response to emergency or abnormal situations crossing several plant systems and/or safety functions?

Date Updated: 2/18/202 2 NOTE 2: Does this question meet the requirements of FAQ 401.44; does it test plant-wide generic information (not become an extension of Tier 2) per Tier 3 objectives.

NOTE 3: For SRO-only questions, select K/As tied to 10 CFR 55.43.

NRC: 2018 NRC Exam - Q-39. Reference Provided - Stem embedded Image of Bypass Permissive Lights at 1PM05J. See NOTE 1: - Link to (3).

1 H 3 B S Response: Technical reference revision updated (Rev 4) and added Grid Locations for the Permissive Lights to the distractors.

Question is SAT as written.

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 (easy) to 5 (difficult); questions with a difficulty between 2 and 4 are acceptable.
3. Check the appropriate box if a psychometric flaw is identified:
  • Stem Focus: The stem lacks sufficient focus to elicit the correct answer (e.g., unclear intent, more information is needed, or too much needless information).
  • Cues: The stem or distractors contain cues (i.e., clues, specific determiners, phrasing, length).
  • T/F: The answer choices are a collection of unrelated true/false statements.
  • Cred. Dist.: The distractors are not credible; single implausible distractors should be repaired, more than one is unacceptable.
  • Partial: One or more distractors 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:
  • Job Link: 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).
  • Minutia: 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).
  • #/Units: The question contains data with an unrealistic level of accuracy or inconsistent units (e.g., panel meter in percent with question in gallons).
  • Backward: 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. Verify 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 status ratings (e.g., how the Appendix B psychometric attributes are not being met).
