- 1. Check the applicant level and enter the operating test number and Form ES
-D-1 event numbers for each event type; TS are not applicable for RO applicants. ROs must serve in both the "at
-the-controls" (ATC) and "balance
-of-plant" (BOP) positions. Instant SROs (SRO-I) must serve in both the SRO and the ATC positions, including at least two instrument or component (I/C) malfunctions and one major transient, in the ATC position. If an SRO
-I additionally serves in the BOP position, one I/C malfunction can be credited toward the two I/C malfunctions required for the ATC position.
- 2. Reactivity manipulations may be conducted under normal or controlled abnormal conditions (refer to Section D.5.d) but must be significant per Section C.2.a of Appendix D. (*) Reactivity and normal evolutions may be replaced with additional instrument or component malfunctions on a one-for-one basis. 3. Whenever practical, both instrument and component malfunctions should be included; only those that require verifiable actions that provide insight to the applicant's competence count toward the minimum requirements specified for the applicant's license level in the right
-hand columns.
- 4. For licensees that use the ATC operator primarily for monitoring plant parameters
, the chief examiner may place SRO
-I applicants in either the ATC or BOP position to best evaluate the SRO
-I in manipulating plant controls.

Units Back ward Q - K/A SR O Only 1 F 2 N U K/A mismatch. K/A is for continuous rod withdrawal, question is for rod drop. Also, actual drop time is window dressing.
Deleted actual rod drop time. Changed P1 question to meet K/A.
I think it has a subset issue. If B is true, A is true. Chang to ask for a maximum drop t ime. Added "maximum" to P2 question to correct subset issue. SAT 2 F 2 N E I f the RCP is tripped IAW step 16ff there is no procedure direction to close a spray valve. Change to ask the relationship between RCPs and spray valves. Moved AP-9.00 ref. from question to P1. Changed Part 2 to question relationship between RCPs and Spray valve
. Second part is clumsy. Change to ___ spray valve
must be closed when 1
-RC-P-1A is tripped.
Changed second part as noted.
SAT 3 F 2 N E "a minimum boron of" should say "a minimum boron concentration of". Added "concentration" to P1.
SAT 4 H 2 X X N U This question does not test the Effects of boron saturation on ion exchanger behavior i.e. What happens differently when saturated vs. not saturated.
Also has subsset issues. If A is true, so is B. Same with C and D.
Changed Q to better meet K/A. Question stem changed by asking effect of changing temp for a demin bed that has been in service and is boron saturated. This tests knowledge of change in boron saturation. Changed P2 to eliminate subset by asking for maximum allowed difference in boron allowed. SAT 5 H 2 N S 6 H 4 N E Change to ask for the first SI signal actuated
. Changed P1 to ask for first SI signal.
SAT 7 H 2 N S 8 H 2 M E Initial PRT conditions and RCP status are window dressing. Removed PRT, and RCP conditions from stem. SAT 9 H 2 N E "Spurious" is window dressing. Removed "Spurious" from question stem.

The question gives that the initiating event is a loss of flow and asks the applicant to determine that the cause of the trip is loss of flow.
Change the initial condition to a power level closer to (but above) P
-8. Perhaps 2-part. First part, is cause of trip. RCS flow or SG level. Second part, Is this indicated by color or flashing rate.
The reason for the RCP trip is window dressing.
Changed power level in stem of question to 40%. Changed to 2
-part question. P1 asks for annunciator that caused reactor trip. P2 asks for color of First out annunciator.
SAT 16 H 2 N E Do not diagnose in stem (LBLOCA).
Replaced LBLOCA with indications that would be present; Crew enters AP-16.00 (Initial); RCS pressure 150 psia and lowering (Current).
Subset. If A is true, B is true. Say minimum action required. Also, since the justification for the distractor is that a different pump requires CLS to be reset, that seems like a more credible distractor (Reset CLS, place control switch in PTL.
Changed Part 2 to "What is minimum action required-" Changed distractor A2 and C2 as noted above. SAT 17 H 2 N S 18 H 2 B S 19 F 2 X B E "to minimize the time required to repressurize the RCS" is not a credible distractor. What is the link between continued RCP operation and time to subsequently repressurize?
Changed C2 and D2 distractor to a more credible distractor that relates to Seal DP. SAT 20 H 2 X N E One only needs to know the definition of the word "median" to get the second half correct. Suggest you ask about control response (or lack of control response).
Changed P2 to ask about "Control Rods".
Change from asking what "will" happen to asking what "should" happen.
Changed P2 question to "Should control rods move?"
SAT 21 F 2 N E Do not diagnose in the stem (SBLOCA). Just give observable info the applicant needs to answer the question. Deleted "small break LOCA. Added bullet to indicate RCS pressure is 800 psig and lowering.
SAT 22 F 2 X X N U It is intuitive that the least number of charging pumps best accomplishes overpressure mitigation. The applicant does not have to know anything about the LCO to get this one. Also this has nothing to do with loss of Rx coolant makeup.
Changed question to better meet K/A. Question poses scenario where a boration path is rendered inop. Candidates have to assess if they meet TS requirements for Boron injection.
The word "claiming" in the stem is unnecessary.
Removed "claiming" and replaced with ____, making this question a fill
-in-the-blank question.
SAT 23 F 2 X N U KA mismatch. Do not have to know anything about containment sump level to correctly answer this question. Changed question from Containment Spray To Recirc Spray requirements which states that Recirc Spray pumps must be secured if Ctmt. Sump level is < 4.0 feet.
Subsets. If B is true, C is true. Ditto A and D. Need a limiter in the stem. Also restate stem as a requirement (must be secured).
Added limiter to eliminate subset issue, and changed question to "-the minimum Containment sump level for operatin of the Recirc Spray pumps is ___." Kept distractor values the same.
SAT 24 F 2 N S 25 H 2 M E Don't ask what shall be done. Ask what is required.

Units Back ward Q - K/A SR O Only 27 F 2 N E Give a range on the distractor temperature to match the structure of the correct answer. Do not diagnose in the stem (LBLOCA). Give the applicant the observable indication necessary to answer the question. Gave range on distractors and changed indications to not diagnose in stem.
SAT 28 H 2 M E Don't diagnose in stem (ATWS).
Give an initial power level.
The first two columns comprise four unique answers. The second 2 columns add nothing.
"Several minutes" is too fuzzy. After some time, RCS pressure will either be controlled by safeties/PORVs, or else go offscale high. Either way, pressure will not rise forever.
Does "all feedwater . . .has been lost" include AFW? If not, specify. If so, I think this accident has not been analyzed.
Re-wrote stem to give initial power as well as specify loss of MFW. Removed PZR Level and Steam Pressure columns. Changed "several minutes" to "two (2) minutes".
SAT 29 F 2 N E Don't ask what "would" happen. Ask about requirements. Changed stem to ask which of the listed RMs was required to be in service for fuel movement. The version you sent me did not include this change.
Intended change was inadvertently not sent, desired change attached
. Stem should refer to required OPERABILITY of the rad monitor.
Added "to be operable" to stem.
SAT 30 H 2 X N E Is there a link between loading a spent fuel cask and an area rad alarm in the new fuel storage area? Ensure this is operationally valid. The New fuel storage area and Spent fuel storage area are in same building and adjacent to each other. A fuel handling accident in the Fuel Building would affect both radiation monitors.
Also, it does not seem credible to me that a valid area rad alarm has no effect on fuel handling activities.
The distractor analysis refers to fuel assembly reconstitution, but the stem says that cask loading is in progress.
Revised question to ask the required MCR actions regarding ventilation lineup. Also revised distractor analysis to reflect cask load vice fuel reconstitution.
SAT 31 H 2 X N U Appears to be a K/A mismatch. What surveillance procedure is involved?
Changed question to require candidate to use 0
-OSP-RC-002 to calculate a primary
-to-secondary leak rate. Now matches KA.
SAT 32 H 2 M E Much window dressing. The question simply asks what devices reposition in response to a main steam isolation signal and what causes such a signal. Everything above "Which ONE" seems to be unnecessary.
Removed "window dressing" and changed wording as needed.
SAT 33 H 2 M S How can the applicant determine that MTC is negative? Added bullet stating that ramp plan calls for dilutions for duration of ramp, implying negative MTC.
Your comment does not describe what you actually did, but what you did is probably fine. If the value of MTC is normally available in the control room this question is SAT. It MTC is not normally readily accessible, give a boron concentration indicative of late in core life.
MTC is not readily accessible in MCR, so changed bullet stating that RCS boron is 300 ppm. This should provide enough information to the candidates that MTC is negative.

Dist Partial Job-Link Minutia # / Units Back ward Q - K/A SR O Only 34 H 2 X N E The distractor analysis says that if the turbine were in IMP IN, inward rod motion is credible. Wouldn't IMP IN aggravate the situation and make the cooldown worse? i.e. the turbine would respond to the drop in impulse pressure by taking more steam?
Removed reference to IMP IN and added explanation of Power Mismatch Circuit.
SAT 35 H 2 N S 36 H 2 M S 37 H 2 N E Ensure that the name of the switch in the stem exactly matches plant labeling. i.e. if "giveaway" is not on the label, don't use it in the question.
Replaced "giveaway" with actual switch name (non
-unit-specific).
SAT 38 H 2 B E Lowering SG pressure by itself does not indicate Natural circulation is in progress. It would drop as a result of steaming and feeding even if loop isolation valves were closed. Perhaps "consistent with" is a more accurate phrase. Also, "slowly lowering" may be necessary (per procedure). If it rapidly lowers and Tcold doesn't follow it, this is an indication of a loss of NC. Changed stem to replace "indicates" with "is consistent with". Also changed "stable or lowering" to "slowly lowering".
With this wording, I think B is also correct. Replace t with a distractor that is inconsistent with natural circulation.
Replaced distractor B with an indication that is NOT consistent with Natural Circulation; "CETCs rising."
SAT 39 F 2 N S 40 F 1 N U It is general employee knowledge to stop a radioactive leak if possible. This does not test licensed knowledge.
Also, is AUX BLDG SAMPLE Radiation Monitor 1
-RM-156 an area monitor?
Perhaps require the applicant to identify a possible source for a given Area rad alarm?
Rewrote question to require applicant to identify likely source of a particular RM alarm.
SAT 41 F 2 M S Send a reference that shows that median Tavg is used for feed isolation.
Added reference (0
-AP-53.00, Attachment 4) showing Tave Control Circuit.
SAT 42 F 2 B S 43 H 2 M S 44 H 2 N S 45 F 2 X N U This does not test an EOP warning, caution, or note. This question can be answered with system knowledge only.

Simply ask which of these responses is a direct result of the loss of the associated DC Power. Removed the "why" component in the responses.
SAT 47 F 2 X B U K/A mismatch. This tests the effect of an EDG failure on fuel oil system, instead of the other way around.
Rewrote question to determine the effect on EDGs (Tech Spec) with the Aboveground Fuel Oil Storage Tank removed from service.
Tested the candidates knowledge of the minimum on
-site fuel oil required.
This version of the question makes most of the stem into window dressing. I believe that the minimum requirement is independent of the current status of tanks. I suggest you make this an evaluation of how the unavailability of the above ground tank affects EDG operability.
Removed the bullets pertaining to the Underground Fuel Oil Storage Tanks. Changed question to ask minimum fuel oil in UFOSTS per TS 3.16. Changed distractor D to 40,000 gal. to better match question.
Re-sequence answers from higher to lower or vice versa. Re-sequenced answers from higher to lower.
SAT 48 H 2 N S 49 F 2 X N U Do not diagnose in stem (SBLOCA). K/A mismatch. This is not "guidance contained in EOP" Rewrote question to use EOP guidance and removed SBLOCA from stem.
FR-Z.1 step 6 also directs closing MSTVs. Is the point to ask which one is first?
Changed stem bullet to indicate all other ESF equip responded as designed (other than MSTVs). This done to bolster question to support fact that FR
-Z.1 is not required to be entered because both trains of CS operated. Changed P1 tostate "-which procedure will first close MSTVs" Note: this may not be necessary if FR
-Z.1 entry conditions are not met.
SAT 50 F 2 M E Explain how this is a "ventilation system".
Process Ventilation System takes suction of dilution air in the Auxiliary Building near the Primary Sample Sink using Process Ventilation Blowers, discharging through the lightning rods on top of containment. Drawing attached.
SAT 51 F 2 M S 52 H 2 M S 53 H 2 N U K/A mismatch. This question can be answered solely on system knowledge. Everything following "Given the following" is window dressing. The particular condition of the plant is not relevant to the question.
Don't diagnose in stem (small LOCA).
Rewrote question to better match the KA.
SAT 54 F 2 N E The question is confusing. It implies that the pump start location is dependent on screen speed. Is screen in fast an interlock or only a procedure requirement?
Split question into 2 discrete parts to allay confusion.
SAT 55 H 2 N E Don't diagnose in stem. Give indication the operator can see. Revised stem to give operator indications rather than diagnosis.

The applicant is told that a pressure change has a reactivity effect and then asks the applicant to determine that this is due to a pressure coefficient of reactivity. Also, I suspect that the pressure coefficient is due, at least in part, to voids from nucleate boiling.
Revised question to better differentiate what causes the reactivity change.
SAT 63 F 2 N S 64 F 2 M S 65 F 2 M S 66 F 2 N S 67 F 2 N S 68 F 2 N U There is no apparent link to radiation control or radiological safety procedures.
Replaced question with a bank question from North Anna's 2014 NRC exam.

-16 alarms on all SGs? What is the reference for this?
In order to conclude from SG WR trends that the 'B" SG is ruptured, it is necessary to know AFW flow rates and steaming rates
. Since our N
-16 RMs are located very close to each other (w/in ~ 5 feet), it is expected that a SGTR in one SG will cause all N
-16 RMs to alarm due to "shine". They are designed to detect very small leaks (0-200 gpd - equivalent to 0.14 gpm) that would otherwise not be seen. Revised stem to include feed/steam rates.
SAT 82 H 2 N S 83 H 2 X N E It does not seem operationally valid for PZR level and subcooling to be stable with an elevated containment pressure. What is the source of pressure in containment?
The distractor analysis for A says "Plausible if candidate determines . . . based on PRZR level lowering". PRZR level is stable in the stem.
Clumsy wording in stem. "The First procedure attempted to" and Which procedure, will the team".
Perhaps "The first attempt to load EDG #1 is done in accordance with" and remove the comma in the second part (after procedure).
Revised conditions and stem IAW NRC comments.
Provided more operationally
-valid indications. CTMT pressure would be expected to be elevated due to loss of cooling.
Revised distractor analysis to refer to elevated CTMT pressure vice PZR level.
SAT 84 H 2 N E A complete loss of DC is possible at any time. Add to the first part "in accordance with ECA 0.0." Giving the entire TRM to the applicant contains a risk of compromising another question. Ensure that no other question is affected by this reference.
Revised stem IAW NRC comments. Only one other question (#63) refers to the TRM, and then only to administrative requirements if a TRM item is determined to be inadequate. There is no compromise by giving the TRM as a reference.
Subset issues. If C is correct, A is correct (so I wouldn't pick C because I know there are not 2 correct answers). Ned a modifier in stem.
Added modifier "minimum" to P1. Used a range of time which better matches ECA
-0.0 Note. This started as a TRM question, but in the present form, how is this SRO only
? The form says it is procedure selection, but no procedure is selected. If this is unique to the SRO position in your training program. Attach the relevant learning objective.
Added Objective C for ND

Units Back ward Q - K/A SR O Only 85 H 2 N S What does the note before the question mean?. It seems to me that adding the third bullet inappropriately tells the applicant that an emergency classification is necessary when that seemed to be the point of the question. Also, I thought the reference we were providing was the E
-plan classification document. The associated learning objective says "utilizing the EAL charts".
Removed note and third bullet. The E
-plan classification document is interchangeably referred to as the "EAL Matrix" or "EAL Charts".
SAT 86 H 2 X N E The 5 minute delay does not seem operationally relevant. In the stated sequence, this 5 minutes would have elapsed.
Also, explain how the loss of this bus is causing intake canal level to go down.
Revised to ask the reason for the 5
-minute delay. The loss of 1G bus results in the loss of all Unit 1 CW pumps. With power restored, the crew would be expected to restart any previously running CW pumps. SAT 87 H 2 M E Don't diagnose in the stem. Why is RVLIS rising?
Revised stem to give indications that the operator would have. Removed "rising" from RVLIS indication.
SAT 88 H 2 S N E "Reference provided" is contradicted by "Reference provided to applicant: NO" It seems that this would lead to E
-plan activation, so 4 hour4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> is not a credible distractor.
The explanation says 'requires hospitalization" but this information is not in the stem.
Changed "No" to "Yes" for reference provided.
Changed 4-hour report to 8
-hour report as this is more plausible. VPAP
-2802, section 6.3.5.b requires an 8-hour report to be made if an Alert/SAE/GE wa s declared. Actual report of the EAL is governed by EPIP-2.0.1/2.0.2, and not VPAP 2802. Changed the stem to include "require hospitalization for their injuries".
SAT You must have changed you mind about someone needing hospitalization as part of the question. 89 H 2 N E Doesn't the low temperature in the pump house make all ESW pumps inoperable which affects both units
?
If so, that seems more operationally relevant than the battery inoperability
. Revised Part 1 to remove reference to ESW Pump batteries and just asked for ESW Pump status. Both units are affected, but TS allows two ESW pumps to be operable if one unit is in CSD with low SFP heat load. Unit 2 is on the way there, but not there yet.
SAT 90 H 2 M E Why is circ/serv water temperature given in stem?
CW/SW temperature is a required variable to determine Containment Allowable Air Partial Pressure IAW the TS figure.
SAT 91 F 2 N S 92 H 2 N S 93 H 2 N S 94 H 2 X N E Don't make it generic. Pick a particular example where this rule applies and use that as the premise of the question. It could be open reference for the LCO in question (but do not include the basis section that applies to specifically answer the question). Made the question more specific, relating to a faulted electrical bus. Reference not required.

Units Back ward Q - K/A SR O Only 95 H 2 N E The sentence that begins with "Which ONE of the following" is unnecessary and does not flow with the following statements.
Removed the unnecessary statement.
SAT 96 H 2 N S 97 H 2 N S 98 H 2 M E Inappropriate references to FR
-H.1. (technical references, distractor analysis). Is the operator expected to determine that pressure/temperature conditions are to the right of limit A from memory?
On other questions that allow references, there was a note that said "references provided". I did not see that here. This is not SRO only because of procedure selection, but because of the classification. Red path entry is RO knowledge.
Removed references to FR
-H.1. Yes, the operator is expected to know the conditions that would place him/her to the right of Limit A. Removed reference since a picture of the screen is provided in the body of the question. Removed reference to procedure selection as basis for SRO
-only. SAT 99 H 2 M E Don't ask what the SRO will do. Ask what is required. Revised stem to incorporate NRC comments.
SAT 100 H 2 M E Priority is fuzzy when use of yellow path procedures is optional. Ask about the terminus of the heat sink status tree.
Don't ask about expected team actions. Ask what the procedure referenced in the above terminus would direct.
You clearly changed the question but I think you comments got lost here. The 2 nd part of the C distractor is not credible the way it is written. Perhaps you meant to use the PORV to steam the level down. Perhaps say "to reduce inventory.
Added "reduce inventory" to C2.
