ES-401 Record of Rejected K/A's Form ES-401-4 Randomly Selected Tier / Group Reason for Rejection KA Facility rarely throttles the CCW Pump discharge valves, and when this does occur (During Testing) indications of the action are in the field. Best effort was made to construct question, but it RO 2/1 008 A4.03 did NOT result in a psychometrically sound question (No Plausible Distractors). Replaced with 008 A4.01, randomly chosen by the Chief Examiner.
The AC instrument busses at the facility have no associated alarms in the Control Room, NOR does the alternate power source for those AC instrument busses. The best effort was RO 1/1 057 AA2.06 made to construct a question but it was determined we could not hit this KA. Replaced with 057 AA2.15, randomly chosen by the Chief Examiner.
The incorrect bypassing of a channel at RNP results in a plant trip in most cases. Trying to find an instrument that could be incorrectly bypassed, but not cause a trip, and then write a question to an SRO only level (most of these error scenarios SRO 2/1 012 A2.03 would be RO knowledge) was very difficult and in the attempt that was made, could be tied back to a less than one hour tech spec, and thereby removing the SRO only plausibility. Replaced with 012 A2.05, randomly chosen by the Chief Examiner.

K/A EPE011 EK3.15 4 F 2 X N E Do not believe that the reason for choices C and D are plausible.
Recommend asking what the maximum RWST level is that requires shifting to ECCS sump recirculation (19% or 27%) and giving times in the initial condition to choose between hot or cold leg recirculation. The reason for picking between hot or cold leg would be the time being greater or less than 11 hours1.273148e-4 days <br />0.00306 hours <br />1.818783e-5 weeks <br />4.1855e-6 months <br />.

Distractor B does not appear to be plausible. When starting at a required pressurizer level of only greater than 14% and probable RCP seal leakage, it does not seem reasonable that pressurizer level greater than 7% can be ensured. Also, Distractors A and B are essentially the same thing. Distractor D is not plausible due to not being able to reach a red path if the cooldown rate limit is followed.
The stem question statement is not totally correct. The procedure caution statement only says that pressure should not be lowered less than 190 psig, it does not say to stop before.
Question is Unsatisfactory due to two non-plausible distractors.
Recommendations:
- Remove unnecessary information from current initial conditions. We can discuss specifics.
- Give two times (30 minutes apart) with S/G pressure and pressurizer level. For the first time, have pressurizer level less than 14%. For the second time, have S/G pressure at 190 psig and pressurizer level going off scale low.
- Ask: IAW ECA-0.0, what is the earliest time that the S/G depressurization is required to be stopped AND the reason for stopping the depressurization (preventing injection of accumulator nitrogen into the RCS or ensuring that no Reactor Vessel upper head voiding will occur).

K/A SYS015 A2.04 91 H 2 X N E The bullet in the initial conditions that states that the crew lowered reactor power IAW AOP-101 needs to be more specific as to what the current reactor power is. It could be argued that if the crew lowered power IAW AOP-001, then it would be less than or equal to 50% and no further reduction would be required.
It would probably be more clear just to ask whether the CRS is or is not required to direct a power reduction to less than or equal to 50%
in accordance with AOP-001 Attachment 1 for the second part question.

1/29/2016 - Revised question is Satisfactory Instructions
[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).

The operator will be provided with Power Range Excore Nuclear Instrumentation indicated and normalizing detector currents, and directed to manually calculate Quadrant Power Tilt Ratio, and identify whether or not any limitations have been exceeded. The operator will be expected to calculate QPTR in accordance with FMP-007, Quadrant Power Tilt, and identify that Technical Specification LCO 3.2.4, Quadrant Power Tilt Ratio (QPTR), is NOT met.
A1b This is a new JPM. The operator will be told that they are a Licensed Reactor Operator who was assigned to the day shift staff for a special project, and not routinely standing watch in the Control Room. They will be provided with a work history and various qualification dates, and then directed to identify any requirements that must be met prior to the end of the quarter that are required to maintain their license ACTIVE; and any additional requirements that are required to maintain their qualification to stand watch in the Control Room. The operator will be expected to evaluate their work history and identify that four 12-hour shifts must be completed as either the RO or the BOP prior to the end of the quarter to maintain their license ACTIVE, and that an SCBA quantitative and qualitative fit test must be completed prior to standing watch in the Control Room again.
A2 This is a Bank JPM. The operator will be told that the plant is in Mode 1 at 100%,

The operator will be provided with the EDPs, and the P&IDs, and directed to use all available resources to identify the pump boundary valves needed to be closed to isolate the leak, and identify the motor breaker to electrically isolate the pump motor.
The operator will be expected to identify that the leak can be isolated by closing three valves; CVC-270, CVC-290 and CVC-291, and that the pump motor can be electrically isolated by opening Breaker 52/34B. This JPM was previously used on the 2014 NRC Exam, randomly selected for use on the 2016 Exam.
A3 This is a new JPM. The operator will be told that a station wide accident has occurred due to an Earthquake, that the plant is in Mode 6 with a full core off-load, that the Spent Fuel Pool level has lowered to 10 feet above the top of the fuel, and has stabilized at this level, and that the crew is implementing AOP-036 (SFP Events). The operator will be provided with an R-5 reading, a dose limit of 25 mrem, and the assignment of a repetitive task within AOP-036 which will require entry into the Spent Fuel Building for 3 minutes, before exiting; and will be directed to estimate how many times the operator can perform this repetitive task before they must be replaced by another operator. The operator will be expected to determine that the dose rate around the Spent Fuel Pool area is 193 mrem/hour and based on this the operator will determine that the repetitive task can be performed 2 times before another operator will need to perform the task.

The operator will be expected to complete Attachment 2 and determine that the Mode change cannot occur with current plant conditions, per the attached KEY.
A3 This is a new JPM. The operator will be told that the plant is in Mode 1 at 100% power, and that a Waste Gas Release Permit for the A WGDT has been presented to the Shift Manager for review and approval. The operator will be provided with a WGDT Release Permit and directed to review and approve the Waste Gas Release Permit, or to identify all issues found which would prevent approval. The operator will be expected to review the WGDT Release Permit and identify that it cannot be approved because (1) it has been written for the wrong WGDT and (2) the R14C setpoint is less conservative than required.
A4 This is a Bank JPM. The operator will be given an initial set of plant conditions. The operator will be directed to classify the event in accordance with the Robinson Nuclear Plant Emergency Action Level Matrix.

ES-401 Record of Rejected K/A's Form ES-401-4 Randomly Selected Tier / Group Reason for Rejection KA Facility rarely throttles the CCW Pump discharge valves, and when this does occur (During Testing) indications of the action are in the field. Best effort was made to construct question, but it RO 2/1 008 A4.03 did NOT result in a psychometrically sound question (No Plausible Distractors). Replaced with 008 A4.01, randomly chosen by the Chief Examiner.
The AC instrument busses at the facility have no associated alarms in the Control Room, NOR does the alternate power source for those AC instrument busses. The best effort was RO 1/1 057 AA2.06 made to construct a question but it was determined we could not hit this KA. Replaced with 057 AA2.15, randomly chosen by the Chief Examiner.
The incorrect bypassing of a channel at RNP results in a plant trip in most cases. Trying to find an instrument that could be incorrectly bypassed, but not cause a trip, and then write a question to an SRO only level (most of these error scenarios SRO 2/1 012 A2.03 would be RO knowledge) was very difficult and in the attempt that was made, could be tied back to a less than one hour tech spec, and thereby removing the SRO only plausibility. Replaced with 012 A2.05, randomly chosen by the Chief Examiner.

Distractor B does not appear to be plausible. When starting at a required pressurizer level of only greater than 14% and probable RCP seal leakage, it does not seem reasonable that pressurizer level greater than 7% can be ensured. Also, Distractors A and B are essentially the same thing. Distractor D is not plausible due to not being able to reach a red path if the cooldown rate limit is followed.
The stem question statement is not totally correct. The procedure caution statement only says that pressure should not be lowered less than 190 psig, it does not say to stop before.
Question is Unsatisfactory due to two non-plausible distractors.
Recommendations:
- Remove unnecessary information from current initial conditions. We can discuss specifics.
- Give two times (30 minutes apart) with S/G pressure and pressurizer level. For the first time, have pressurizer level less than 14%. For the second time, have S/G pressure at 190 psig and pressurizer level going off scale low.
- Ask: IAW ECA-0.0, what is the earliest time that the S/G depressurization is required to be stopped AND the reason for stopping the depressurization (preventing injection of accumulator nitrogen into the RCS or ensuring that no Reactor Vessel upper head voiding will occur).

The second part question appears to be asking procedure transition criteria, which is SRO knowledge.
Question is Unsatisfactory due to license level mismatch.
I am not sure that a leak in this location would always cause an APP-036-D7 alarm. The FSAR states that an alarm in this location would most likely be VCT or RWST water because there are so many check valves downstream. The R-4 alarm setpoint is 50 millirem per hour. Did or can you validate on the simulator?
Why ask or mention D8, since it is given in all four answer choices?

12/22/15- Revised question reviewed. Is there any place in AOP-26 that the EDGs are aligned by the operators to E-1 and E-2 independently? If not, choices C(2) and D(2) are not plausible. The question still needs some enhancement.

The question is not SRO only. SRO only knowledge should not be claimed for major mitigative strategy or AOP entry conditions. See Attachment 2 of ES-401.
Also, based on the wording of step 12 of AOP-012, the note prior to step 12, and the AOP-038 entry conditions, it appears that the SRO could perform a rapid power reduction if desired.
With no indication of condenser backpressure value or trend, how is going to a rapid power reduction plausible?
The question is Unsatisfactory because it is not SRO only.
Based on a review of your procedures, this could be a very hard K/A to satisfy at the SRO only level. We can discuss randomly selecting another K/A.

Please explain why it is required to secure feeding the A steam generator as stated in the first part question stem.
Discussing transitioning to E-2 in the second part question stem provides a cue to the first part question and does not affect the answer. Indications of the faulted steam generator are provided in the initial conditions. Should just ask IAW the given conditions and E-3.
12/22/15 - Reviewed the revised question.
Based on the given conditions, it appears that the Secondary Integrity Criteria on the foldout page for E-3 are met. This would require a transfer to E-2. Since this is not one of the listed choices, there is no correct answer choice for this question.

Need to remove the information in the bullet that states causing IA Header pressure to slowly lower. The applicants should know that a clogged air dryer will cause pressure to lower.
The question does not really appear to be operational valid. We need to discuss the normal lineup of the instrument air system and how we would get in the situation proposed by the question.
The question does not really test the K/A, but can be pretty easily fixed. We can discuss.
Will need the appropriate IAW statement added to the question stem. Also, need to word question with regard to the fact that the use of attachment 2 or 3 is in a step that is based on order of preference.

This does not appear to meet the intent of the K/A. It seems to meet more of the RCP K/A than the type of topics listed for the Containment system.
This does not appear to be an SRO only question. It does not have procedure selection and could be answered with RO knowledge.
Based on a review of your procedures, this could be a very hard K/A to satisfy at the SRO only level. We can discuss randomly selecting another K/A.
K/A SYS103 2.4.41 Revised question is Unsatisfactory due to LOD = 1. The correct answer choice (both halves) is so strong and self-explanatory that it makes the question provide no discriminatory value.
1/26/16 - Revised question is Satisfactory.
K/A SYS015 A2.04 91 H 2 X N E The bullet in the initial conditions that states that the crew lowered reactor power IAW AOP-101 needs to be more specific as to what the current reactor power is. It could be argued that if the crew lowered power IAW AOP-001, then it would be less than or equal to 50% and no further reduction would be required.
It would probably be more clear just to ask whether the CRS is or is not required to direct a power reduction to less than or equal to 50%
in accordance with AOP-001 Attachment 1 for the second part question.

1/29/2016 - Revised question is Satisfactory Instructions
[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).
