To: Todd Fish, Chief Examiner From: Phil Nielsen, Peach Bottom Regulatory Exam Author
Subject:
Adjustments to Peach Bottom Operating Exam Materials for the February 2005 Initial NRC Examination.
The following materials received modifications resulting from comments from the NRC Examination Team during the on-site preparation held December 14 - 16, 2004.
Administrative JPMs RO Conduct of Operations - Initiate a Temporary Change 0 Enhanced the Initiation Cue for clarity.
0 Enhanced the task standard for critical steps to indicate which sub-steps are critical.
RO Equipment Control - Identify Clearance Points 0 Enhanced the task standard for critical steps to indicate which sub-steps are critical.
RO Emergency Plan - Make State and Local Notifications 0 Enhanced the Initiation Cue for clarity.
0 Removed the critical indication for some steps.
SRO Conduct of Operations - Manual Heat Balance 0 Truncated JPM for evaluation efficiency while maintaining adequate length for a comprehensive evaIuat ion.
SRO Equipment Control - Clearance Approval Added another error to the provided clearance.
SRO Radiation Control - Authorize an Emergency Exposure 0 Enhanced the Task Conditions for clarity.
System JPMs ADS Reset 0 Enhanced Task Conditions by changing indicated Reactor Pressure for realism.
HPCl Suction Transfer Modified JPM to require the candidate to diagnose the condition before taking appropriate actions.

Adjustments to Peach Bottom Operating Exam Materials for the February 2005 Initial NRC Examination (Continued)
System JPMs (Continued)
Diesel Generator Load Test 0 Truncated JPM for exam administration efficiency.
0 Removed Alternate Path Off Gas - Place the Standby Air Ejector in service 0 Enhanced Task Conditions by changing GP-2 Attachment reference Main Steam - Close Stuck Open MSlV 0 Changed from Unit 2 to Unit 3 JPM 0 Clarified that this JPM is Alternate Path RPS - Scram Solenoid Deenergization 0 Enhanced Task conditions from specific rods to several rods.
Control Room Ventilation Restoration 0 Truncated JPM for exam administration efficiency Simulator Dynamic Scenarios Scenario 1 0 Changed one event to require more RO actions on failure.
Scenario 2 0 Changed classification of one failure from instrument to Component.
Scenario 3 0 Removed Instrument classification from one event present only for its Tech Spec evaluation.
Scenario 4 0 Swapped sequence of first two events for exam administration efficiency.
0 Removed Instrument classification from two events present only for their Tech Spec evaluation.
0 Enhanced Shift Turnover for clarity.

[Refer to Section D of ES-401 and Appendix B for additional information regarding each of the following concepts.]
Enter the level of knowledge (LOK) of each question as either (F)undamental or (H)igher cognitive level.
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).
Check the appropriate box if a psychometric flaw is identified:
0 The stem lacks sufficient focus to elicit the correct answer (e.g., unclear intent, more information is needed, or too much needless information).
0 The stem or distractors contain cues (i.e., clues, specific determiners, phrasing, length, etc.).
0 The answer choices are a collection of unrelated true/false statements.
0 The distractors are not credible; single implausible distractors should be repaired, more than one is unacceptable.
0 One or more distractors is (are) partially correct (e.g., if the applicant can make unstated assumptions that are not contradicted by stem).
Check the appropriate box if a job content error is identified:
0 The question is not linked to the job requirements (Le., the question has a valid WA but, as written, is not operational in content).
0 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).
0 The question contains data with an unrealistic level of accuracy or inconsistent units (e.g., panel meter in percent with question in gallons).
0 The question requires reverse logic or application compared to the job requirements.
Check auestions that are sampled for conformance with the approved K/A and those that are designated SRO-only (WA and license level mismatches are unacceptable).
Based on the reviewers judgment, is the question as written (U)nsatisfactory (requiring repair or replacement),
in need of (E)ditorial enhancement, or (Sjatisfactory?
. At a minimum, explain any U ratings (e.g., how the Appendix B psychometric attributes are not being met).
