[Refer to Section D of ES-401 and Appendix B for additional information regarding each of the following concepts.] I

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.

More than one distractor Is not credible.

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 Isidentified:

4 The question is not linked to the Job requ rements (i.e the quest on has a valid K/A but, as written, Is not operational in content).

The question question conta requires ns the datareca The with of anknowledge levelisofoaccuracy unrealistic that c icorforinconsistent the closed reference test mode (i.e., it is not required to be known from memory).

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 the appropriate box if the sampled question does not match the approved K/A or an SRO-only question is not at the SRO level.

6. Based on the reviewer's judgment, is the question as written (U)nacceptable (requiring repair or replacement), in need of (E)ditorial enhancement, or (S)atisfactory?

7. For any "U"ratings, at a minimum, explain how the Appendix B psychometric attributes are not being met.

"* Reactor power is oscillating between 15% and 35%

"* ERVs are cycling

"* ECs are in service

"* RO has been directed to manually open ERVs until RPV pressure drops to 965 psig Which one of the following describes the reason for controlling pressure at 965 psig?

Pressures higher than 965 psig...

A. increase the probability of ERV failure.

B. do not ensure adequate margin to the ERV lift setpoints.

C. exceed the 100% steam flow turbine bypass capacity.

D. will allow reactor power oscillations to continue.

Proposed Answer: B Justification: B is correct - Candidate must conclude that the MSIVs are closed, based on the range within which power is oscillating while ERVs are cycling in response. Per EOP Bases, page 136, with the MSIVs closed, the 965# value simply ensures "adequate margin to the ERV lift setpoints." Therefore, pressures higher than 965# provide less than adequate margin to the setpoints. C is incorrect This would be the 'classic' reason for choosing the 965# value IF the MSIVs were open. For these stem conditions, the MSIVs are closed; therefore, 100% steam flow turbine bypass capacity is irrelevant. A is incorrect - ERV failure probability is based on the rate of ERV cycling, not the given margin that might exist between actual RPV pressure and the lowest ERV lift setpoint.

D is incorrect - Oscillating reactor power is contingent upon RPV level and/or pressure oscillations.

The bottom-line purpose of taking manual ERV control is stop these oscillations. Just because pressure might be higher that 965 psig does not mean it is also oscillating.

• Generator load reject occurs

SAFETY LIMIT SCRAM SETPOINT A. Exceeded Not exceeded B. Exceeded Exceeded C. Not exceeded Not exceeded D. Not exceeded Exceeded Proposed Answer: D Justification: D is correct - Candidate must know that the RCS S.L. is 1375 psig and that the associated LSSS/SCRAM setpoint is </= 1080 psig. The generator load reject analysis is not concerned with the RCS Si.; rather its concern is with the MCPR S.L. for Fuel Clad Integrity. MCPR is preserved by way of the high pressure and/or high flux scram that results from the TSV closure with failed TBVs. 1375 psig is not exceeded, but the LSSS (scram setpoint) for RPV pressure is exceeded. A/BIC are incorrect - different combinations that do not conform to the correct answer.

"* The EPR setpoint controller rapidly fails low

"* An automatic reactor scram results

"* HPCI initiates as designed With no operator action, which one of the following describes a consequence of this event?

Failure of...

A. EC piping and supports if used for pressure control B. ERVs to automatically open if needed C. main condenser shells D. main turbine blading Proposed Answer: A Justification: A is correct - When EPR fails, TCVs'JTBVs open wide, causing a huge swell of RPV water level which results in FWP and turbine trip. If turbine trip doesn't process the scram first, MSIV closure

(<850 psig in RUN) will. In any event, RPV level remains high with no path to steam down (MSIVs closed). Continued EC operation with level >95" will result in water-hammer related damage to EC piping and supports (per N1-OP-13, D.17.0). B is incorrect - Although the ERVs may suffer the effects of high water level, this distractor is wrong because the potential ERV threat is being able to re-close them after allowing water through them.

B. loads will not automatically transfer between Battery Boards 11 and 12; stripping loads is necessary for a manual dead-bus transfer.

C. the static battery chargers will not carry the battery boards; stripping loads preserves DC battery power for vital functions.

D. MG Set 167 is unavailable; stripping loads preserves battery board power for the process computer.

Proposed Answer: C Justification: C correct- SBC's are lost; preserving DC power for Rx Instrumentation, EC controls, and starting EDGs is critical in a blackout. AIB incorrect - there are no auto-transfer features for either BBl 1/12 loads, or in-service/standby SBCs. D incorrect - although MG set 167 is unavailable, DC power is preserved for vital functions (described above), not for the PPC (an AC-powered system).

• Battery Board 12 is lost

• A sustained loss of Turbine Building ventilation has occurred

• No operator action is taken Which one of the following describes the plant response per Technical Specification bases?

A. Reactor Coolant Safety Valves will lift.

B. Reactor Coolant Pressure Safety Limit will be violated.

C. Peak cladding temperatures greater than 15000 F will occur.

D. Loss of RPV inventory due to steam flow will exceed the Core Spray capacity.

Proposed Answer: A Justification: A is correct - Per T.S. 2.2.2, all 9 Safety Valves may lift to prevent exceeding the 1375 psig Safety Limit in the event of an MSIV closure from rated power followed by a high flux scram. BB 12 loss leaves the plant with only 3 ERVs, with insufficient relief capacity to keep pressure below the Safety Valve setpoints. Sustained loss of TB Ventilation will ultimately (no operator action) allow Main Steam Pipe Tunnel temperature to reach 200 F.

MSIV's will auto-close as a result. B is incorrect - Purpose of the Safeties lifting is to prevent exceeding the Pressure Safety Limit. C is incorrect - Plausible only if examinee is distracted to think that the "Minimum Number of ERVs Required for ED" is something greater than 3. D is incorrect - Plausible only if examinee is distracted to believe that the 3 available ERVs, combined with the lifting Safeties, let down inventory at a rate that is greater than Core Spray's capacity to replace.

• Power ascension is in progress

• Turbine Load Limiter is set at 95%

As reactor power is raised, which one of the following effects will be seen when the Turbine Load Limiter setpoint is reached?

A. The intercept valves will throttle closed and the bypass valves will open.

B. The control valves will stop opening, causing a high pressure reactor scram.

C. The control valves will stop opening and the bypass valves will open to maintain pressure.

D. There will be no effect because the Governor and Speed Load Changer are in control of the turbine.

Proposed Answer: C Justification: C is correct - Pressure is controlled by control, then bypass valves.

Load is controlled by control valves. The Load Limiter may be employed to limit control valve opening (Load). A is incorrect - IV's are not affected by the Load controls. B is incorrect - Ignores operation of Bypass valves. D is incorrect - The Load Limiter can limit the oil available to the control system, limiting CV opening.

Without operator action, which one of the following describes an effect of this malfunction?

A. Turbine trip and reactor scram B. Increased vibrations on the LP 'A' journal bearings C. Potential turbine overspeed on a loss of generator load D. 10% closure on at least one Turbine Control Valve (TCV)

Proposed Answer: B Justification: B is correct - SCU linkage holds open the IV portion of the CRV. A disconnected linkage results in that IV going closed, stopping steam flow into one of the two inlets to LP 'A'.

Unbalanced steam flow into LP 'A' (thru the unaffected CRV) results in increased vibrations. A is incorrect - TSV/TCV closure scram signals, yes; CRV closure scram signals, no.

• Main generator output voltage is normal when the amplidyne begins to fail (Time = 0 seconds)

• The following main generator output voltages result:

• TIME OUTPUT VOLTS 20 seconds 26,000 30 seconds 27,000 40 seconds 28,000 50 seconds 29,000 60 seconds 30,000 Without operator action, which one of the following identifies the earliest time by which the house loads should have fast transferred to reserve power?

A. 30 seconds B. 40 seconds C. 50 seconds D. 60 seconds Proposed Answer: C Justification: C correct - Generator over-voltage trips are: 110% x normal (24,000) for 30 seconds, and 118% x normal for 2 seconds. Given time-line indicates output volts will reach the first trip point (26,400) @ Time = 24 seconds, and will reach the 2nd trip point (28,320) @ Time = 43 seconds. The 1 st trip's timer will trip the generator at Time = 54 seconds (i.e., 24 + 30).

The 2 nd trip's timer will trip the generator at Time = 45 seconds (43 + 2). By Time = 50 seconds, house loads will have auto-transferred to reserve transformers. The turbine will have tripped, and the reactor will have scrammed, as well, but are incidental to this question. A/B/D incorrect - See explanation above.

• Then, power is reduced to 90%

A. Deviation meter first swings right, then swings left, and stabilizes at the center.

B. Deviation meter first swings left, then swings right, and stabilizes to the left of center.

C. Demand meter first swings right, then swings left, and stabilizes at a value lower than before the transient.

D. Demand meter first swings left, then swings right, and stabilizes at a value greater than before the transient.

Proposed Answer: A Q1l4-, erIe-X,4/W P*P--Jo c8le-tA --,6vr'PL 1e/wu./ue-Justification: A is correct - During steady state (zero level error signal), the deviation meter is kept 'balanced' at the center of the meter scale (i.e., @ the 'zero deviation' or red dot position on the scale). When the downpower begins, the deviation meter swings to the right, because a positive level error exists, causing the FCV to be open more than is required for the now lowering steam flow and feed flow demands. As the transient comes to an end, the deviation meters swings left, back towards the center (zero level error position) and stabilizes there. RPV water level is back to its pre-transient value. B is incorrect - See 'A' justification. Additionally, with the 13 FCV in BAL (i.e.,

automatic mode), the controller deviation will return to zero (i.e., centered). CID are incorrect - 'C' is a very plausible distractor because the demand meter does indeed also move during the transient. However, with a lowering feed flow requirement during the downpower, the demand meter swings left of its pre-transient value and stablizes at some lower value (i.e., this lower value is a result of a demand signal to the FCV, itself, that positions the valve less open than it was before (to accommodate the lower feed flow that is now required)). The demand meter has no reason to swing back toward its pre-transient value, because, indeed, the controller stabilizes with there being a lower demand signal sent to the FCV. This same discussion (a mirror image) justifies why 'D' is incorrect.

The last day the ST can be completed before going overdue is...

A. 10/6/02 B. 10/9/02 C. 10/10/02 D. 10/13/02 Proposed Answer: B Justification: B is correct - Per TS 4.0.1, max allowable ST extension is not exceed 125% of the assigned interval (1.25 x 31 days = 38; i.e., grace period = 7 days). Per GAP-SAT-01, ST is 'overdue' if not completed by the end of the grace period. A is incorrect - plausible if candidate confuses 'overdue' with 'past due' (i.e., 115% of interval).

Proposed Answer: B Jusiif~atlon jusulTIcatlon: B is correct - per TS 3.6.2c(f). Since 36-06A inputs to both trip systems (EC System 11 and System 12), the second half of 3.6.2c(f) applies. A is incorrect - plausible if candidate goes directly to EC LCO 3.1.3 and assumes that 36-06A makes one of the EC's inop, with a resulting 7-day LCO and increased surveillances on the other EC. C is incorrect - plausible if candidate is uncertain of the EC high steam flow isolation logic arrangement, and the fact that the single failed d/p transmitter feeds both trip systems. Instead, candidate may determine that the first half of the note (3.6.2c(f)) applies. D is incorrect - plausible if the candidate is very unsure of himself with respect to TS operability for instrumentation and/or the ECs. The "one and ten shutdown" is a very common Unit 1 requirement, elsewhere; therefore, provides ciood distraction.

A. Lo-Lo RPV level, only 500 - 1080 psig B. Lo-Lo RPV level, only about 75 psig C. All isolations 500 - 1080 psig D. All isolations about 75 psig Proposed Answer: D Justification: D is correct - Crew is in EOP-3, 5 and 8. EOP-5 requires blowdown for RB area water levels. 15% power is generating more steam pressure than what 2 ERVs can relieve; therefore, RPV pressure is rising slowly. EOP 8 assumes pressure control. EOP-8, Step 15 directs use of alternate blowdown systems if <3 ERVs are open and RPV pressure >72 psig. EOP-8, Table 0, directs use of EOP-1, Att.1 to override all MSIV isolations. AIB are incorrect - Would override the Io-lo level isolation, only, if pressure control were still in EOP-3; it is not. C is incorrect - The only place in the EOPs that directs override of all MSIV isolations is in EOP-8, Table 0, and only for the purpose of supporting EOP-8, Step 15.

Proposed Question: SRO 094 One hour ago, a reactor scram occurred, with the following:

• RPV Level dropped to 35 inches and is now 70 inches and stable

• RPV Pressure dropped to 900 and is now 970 psig and stable

• Torus water level is 11 feet and stable

• EC 11 CANNOT be isolated

• EC 11 Vent radiation monitor is in alarm Chemistry reports that the off-site dose projection is 1080 mRem/hr TEDE.

Which one of the following describes the required actions?

A. Perform an RPV blowdown.

B. Bypass ADS C. Lower RPV pressure to 450 to 550 psig D. Open ERVs to lower RPV pressure to 965 psig Proposed Answer: A Justification: A is correct- Rad Release EOP for GE and primary system discharging outside containment. B incorrect- The vents are on the main steam line to the EC. Opening the vents will be ineffective in reducing the release. C incorrect- This is an appropriate action before the General Emergency level is reached. Once the General Emergency level is reached, the required action is to open 3 ERVs (RPV blowdown). D incorrect- An EOP-3 action; there is no ATWS in these stem conditions.
