8. Explanation
8. Explanation 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 a 1(easy) to 5 ( difficult); (questions with a difficulty between 2 and 4 are acceptable)
3. Check the appropriate box if a psychometric flaw is identified:
  • Stem Focus: The stem lacks sufficient focus to elicit the correct answer (e.g., unclear intent, more information is needed, or too much needless information).
  • Cues: The stem or distractors contain cues (i.e., clues, specific determiners, phrasing, length, etc.).
  • T/F: The answer choices are a collection of unrelated true/false statements.
  • Cred. Dist: The distractors are not credible; single implausible distractors should be repaired, more than one is unacceptable.
  • Partial: 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:
  • Job Link: 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).
  • Minutia: 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).
  • # / Units: The question contains data with an unrealistic level of accuracy or inconsistent units (e.g., panel meter in percent with question in gallons).
  • Backward: 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 K/As that are designated SRO-only (K/A and license level mismatches are unacceptable)
6. Enter questions source: (B)ank, (M)odified, or (N)ew. Verify that (M)odified questions meet the criteria of ES-401 Section D.2.f.
7. Based on the reviewer's 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" Status ratings (e.g., how the Appendix B psychometric attributes are not being met).

  • Does max makeup plus letdown always exceed max charging at Farley?
  • Is there a low VCT level auto suction swap at Farley?
  • How many times will makeup cycle before the plant trips?
  • Does the answer to any of these questions change the plausibility of the distractors? Drl 1/18/17 F 2 N E
8. Explanation: 003AA1.02 2 K/A is met.

Add per AOP-19 to the second question. I know you state it in the stem, but I believe the rod would move in manual, so an applicant could argue that it was correct.

Also the question analysis references AOP-16. This needs correction. Drl 1/18/17 F 2 N S 3 8. Explanation: 003G2.4.31

8. Explanation: 003K5.02 4

K/A is partially met. The primary RCS parameter affected is provided in the stem; additionally, the K/A focus is coastdown vs. RCP shutdown which is 5.03, consider revising to ask trends for both loop Tave and DNB vs. procedure action (Discuss with Dave). NL 1/18/17 H 2 M E 5 8. Explanation: 004K5.35 K/A is met. Need to specify the letdown water to prevent two correct answers if someone considers CCW. NL 1/18/17

8. Explanation: 005K2.03 K/A is met.

6 Explanation for Answer D doesn't make sense because same power supply is listed. Also need to confirm LC U is an A train power supply. NL 1/19/17 Are there any valves on the Load Centers? If not, then I would question the plausibility of those distractors. Otherwise its OK. Drl 1/19/17 F 2 B E

8. Explanation: 006A3.08 7 K/A is met There is a lot of unnecessary verbiage in this question. Is this to make it seem harder than it is? I would suggest the question is made simpler. Perhaps ask:

8. Explanation: 007EK1.05 (Pre-submittal RO 1) pre-submittal comments :

K/A is met.

This is a GFES question as written. Not very relevant as a T1/G1 question. Could we ask what E-0 asks the RO to verify and what to do if conditions are not met? Drl 8/30/16 GFE question (Reactor Theory 192003, K1.08, 192008, K1.23).

At _____ minutes after a reactor trip the SRNIs are/are not expected to be energized. NL 8/30/16.

draft submittal comments:

K/A is met.

Appears question changed to Bank question? Question still missing Tier 1 tie. NL 1/23/17 This is a pure GFES question as written. This is supposed to be a Tier 1 question. Could we somehow involve something that the RO needs to do in E-0? Drl 1/18/17 F 2 N S 9 8. Explanation: 007K4.01 K/A is met. NL and Drl 1/18/17 F 3 X X N U

8. Explanation: 008A3.10 K/A is met.

10 I see what youre trying to do, but the question as written would tend to make the applicants answer the first question as a pressure signal because a pressure is one of the answers to part B. How about making the first question will/will not close on a high temperature signal I think the second question can essentially stand. Drl 1/18/17 H 2 X N E

8. Explanation: 008AA1.05 (Pre-Submittal RO 2) pre-submittal comments:

K/A is met.

Again, not extremely relevant as a T1/G1 question. Could we change the first question to ask if injection flow wil/will not be greater than 1500 gpm. The second question could ask if the procedure does or does not require you to manually open the MOVs/ drl 8/30/16 11 Use of 700 psig RCS pressure too high to make C.1 and D.1 creditable distractor. Basis of my comment is too many ways to eliminate (Range of RHR pump discharge pressure (0-700), Auto close interlocks for RHR system (700/750), system design pressure (600 psig?).

Because containment pressure is not given, shows no concern if standing signal present and hurts plausibility of question. Provide a value of containment pressure below the actuation setpoint to add plausibility of discharge header valve operation with resetting the CS signal.

8. Explanation: 059G2.2.44 K/A is met.

The use of the words "will and will NOT" in the first part of the answer could be understood to mean action on the part of operator; use "has and has NOT" tripped to be more passive and align with an auto action. At first read all of the second parts seemed non-plausible (except the correct answer) because suction pressure was improving. After reading the plausibility for the feed pump trip I'm more ok with the second parts for answer 3 and 4 leaving only second part of 1 as non-plausible.

Another comment concerns the argument for two correct answers. I'm assuming the "OFF" position requires the crew to manually start the 1C pump (tagged for Emergency Use).

43 An applicant could argue that the auto start function was not available and the discussion/decision to use delayed > 10 sec and further challenged the MFP with lower suction pressure, etc. and the 1C pump is less reliable and a rapid load reduction would be a prudent operator action under these conditions and answer A is also correct (not sure I would disagree either). Any way to avoid gray area? Does 1C have to be "Emergency Use"...could be re-worded to contact maintenance for PMT, etc.? NL 1/25/17 Why do we need to have the C pump as Emer use only? A2is not really plausible with the B answers available. Suggestion: Leave the C pump in Auto (i.e.: no information).

Delete the 40 second information. Then ask The suction pressure turned because 1C condensate pump started/1A SGFP tripped. Change the second answer to immediately reduce turbine and ensure SGFP suction pressure stabilizes > 275 psig. B & D answer 2 will remain the same. Drl 1/15/17

86 Is SRO expected to know from memory rad classification levels? Is so sat; otherwise, need to discuss references. NL 1/26/17 This is an operability/availability call K/A. The SRO needs to determine if a component is TS operable and/or MR available.

Not sure how this can be written for 060. Drl 1/27/17 F 3 B S

The second question distractor implies the first answer would have been done first. Why not just ask if the battery is operable per the TS? Drl 1/27/17 H 2 X N E

8. Explanation: 065AA2.03 K/A is met.

Have concern about plausibility of first question asked. Basis knowledge of Train separation should eliminate C and D first parts. Need to discuss; one possibility might be to 89 ask something about the air supply from air reservoir.... is or is NOT affected by the leak isolation (plausible to thing separable supply line into air reservoir or from the reservoir to the actuator)? NL 1/27/17 C is a non sequitur. If both valves are affected then entry into the TS would always be required. Instead why not just ask if the pump is operable with a minimum of 1 / 2 valves operable. Or you can go into the MR space and ask if the pump is available per your MR procedures. Drl 1/27/17

B distractor is problematic. If you dont enter SWS TS, why would you even consider the electrical TS? Instead, why not put them in Mode 4 (or Mode 3) tell them one train of SWS is inop and ask if 3.8.1 and 3.4.6 need entered? Drl 1/27/17 F 2 X X B E

8. Explanation: 103A2.02 K/A is met. Doesn't seem creditable that anything regardless of what kind of toolbox would be left in containment especially when you just asked about an FME Monitor and and 91 inventory in and out is required. Need to discuss how to fix.

Wording like "under certain conditions" appears like gray area and word NEVER can be perceived as a clue. Maybe pick one of the examples that GM can be used to meet the source range requirement and asked as can or can NOT in that example. NL 1/30/17 92 Get rid of under certain conditions.

The first question distractors are weak. Maybe we could ask if the PMT has to be part of the main work order. Drl1/27/17

Pre-submittal comments:

K/A is met. Drl 8/31/16. Sat. NL 8/30/16 Farley comment 96 *NOTE* Question was significantly modified after validation based upon validator comments. Some validators chose the wrong answer based upon the wording of the note below.

We believe the procedure should be changed so that the note explicitly applies to Action Level 3 Condition 1. The way the note is currently written confuses the test taker and would put the applicant in a gray area. Ive re-written the question to apply the same concept as the original version but evaluation of Action Level 3 Condition 1 is avoided.

Draft submittal comments :

Does entering AL 3 preclude entering AL 2? I know it doesnt matter in this case, We need to look at this closely to ensure it is operationally valid. Drl 1/27/17 F 2 B E
