Cooper Nuclear Station NRC ILT Examination Analysis In accordance with NuReg 1021 Rev 2 Sup 1 the Cooper nuclear station NRC ILT Examination analysis was performed for all questions that resulted in half or more of the students missing the question. No question or answer key changes are recommended based on this analysis or candidate feedback. Question RO 14- This question is technically accurate and psychometrically sound. The candidate's that missed the question feedback was they had not seen this in the simulator or covered it during the classroom training. This information was covered with the class and demonstrated in the site specific simulator. This has been added to the ILT program. Question RO 45- This question is technically accurate and psychometrically sound. The candidate's that missed the question feedback was they could not remember if it was 5.4Fire-SO or 5.1 Incident that required the scram. This information was covered with the class. Question RO 55- This question is technically accurate and psychometrically sound. The candidate's that missed the question feedback was they remembered the Technical Specification requirement, but not the OEH abnormal requirement. Students that selected distractor 'a' thought 1025 psig was the auto scram which is incorrect the auto scram is 1050 psig. This information was covered with the class. Question RO 66- This question is technically accurate and psychometrically sound. The candidate's that missed the question feedback was could not remember which required a license. Question SRO 5- This question is technically accurate and psychometrically sound. The candidate's that missed the question feedback was they forgot that RPS B would result in the RHR SOC isolation valves closing. This information was covered with the class and demonstrated in the site specific simulator. Question SRO 13- This question is technically accurate and psychometrically sound. The candidate's that missed the question feedback was that they thought that RCIC resulted in a LOSF or they thought they could use the hour to determine if HPCI was operable before they had to move further into the RCIC Technical Spcification. This information was covered with the class.

Question SRO 14- This question is technically accurate and psychometrically sound. The candidate's that missed the question feedback was they could not remember how many SRMs were allowed to be downscale per Technical Specifications. This information was covered with the class. Question SRO 24- This question is technically accurate and psychometrically sound. The candidate's that missed the question feedback was they did not realize that the Reactor Building was INOPERABLE is a single SBGT subsystem can not maintain the required Reactor Building DIP. This information was covered with the class.
