A3 This is a new JPM. The operator will be given a set of conditions reflecting a loss of level and cooling to the Spent Fuel Pool with a full core off-loaded, where attempts of makeup have failed. The operator will also be given a present Spent Fuel Pool level and time since shutdown. The operator will be directed to use Enclosure 5 (Spent Fuel Pool Boiloff rate) of AP/1/A/5500/41 (Loss of Spent Fuel Pool Cooling or Level), and estimate how fast the Spent Fuel Pool level will go down as the pool boils; and then use this boiloff rate and Enclosure 13 (Spent Fuel Pool Radiation Level vs. Water level Above Fuel) of AP/1/A15500/41 (Loss of Spent Fuel Pool Cooling or Level), and predict when the radiation levels in the Spent Fuel Pool area will be greater than 1 Rem/hour if no makeup is added.

The operator will be expected to determine that the boiloff rate is 4.4 inches/hour, and that the expected time that the Dose Rate in the Spent Fuel Area exceeds 1 Rem/hour is 36+/-2 hours.

A4 This is a modified version of a Bank JPM. The operator will be told that Unit 1 and Unit 2 are in Mode 1 at 100% power; and then given a timeline of events that result in the implementation of the Abnormal/Emergency Operating Procedures at Unit 1 The operator will be directed to classify the event in accordance with RP/O/A/5700/000 (Classification of Emergency). The operator will be expected to declare a Site Area Emergency based on 4.4.5.1 Failure of Reactor Protection System Instrumentation to Complete or Initiate an Automatic Reactor Trip Once a Reactor Protection System Setpoint Has Been Exceeded and Manual Trip WAS NOT Successful. This action is Time Critical and must be completed within 15 minutes. Then, the operator must prepare an Emergency Notification Form for this event in accordance with RP/0/B/5700/029 (Notifications to Offsite Agencies From the Control Room), and present this form to the Emergency Coordinator for approval, also within 15 minutes of the event classification.

The operator will be directed to perform Step 8 of EP/1/A/5000/ES-1 .3 (Transfer To Cold Leg Recirc) and align NS for Recirc. The operator will attempt to place the A Train of NS in service manually, discover that it cannot be placed in service (Alternate Path), and then place the B Train in service as an alternative.

JPM E This is a modified version of a Bank JPM. The operator will be told that Unit 1 is in mode 5 during a refueling outage, that AP/1/A/5500/19 (Loss of ND or ND System Leakage) has been entered and completed up to Step 5; and that the CR5 is considering makeup options for the NCS. The operator will be directed to use Enclosure 5 (Makeup Via NV Pumps Through S/I Flowpath) of AP/1/A/5500/19 (Loss of ND or ND System leakage) to maintain NCS level greater than 1 0 inches. The operator will be expected to initiate make up to the NCS using Enclosure 5 of AP/1/N5500/19.

JPM F This is a new JPM. The operator will told that Unit 1 was at 1 00% power when a leak developed in the KC System, that the crew entered AP/1/A15500/21 (Loss of KC or KC System Leakage) and has completed the actions through Step 1 2. They will be told that MCB Annunciator 1AD-7, Dl VCT HI TEMP, has just alarmed, making Foldout Page item #5 applicable. The operator will be directed to perform the actions of Enclosure 4.6 of AP/1/A/5500/21 (Loss of KC or KC System Leakage), while the crew continues with the AOP. The operator will be expected to isolate Letdown, and attempt to start the PD Pump. Upon PD Pump start, the motor will fail (Alternate Path), and the operator will ultimately align the suction of the NV Pumps to the FWST.

JPM G This is a bank JPM. The operator will be told that Unit 1 is operating at 1 00% power, that a monthly test of the 1 B Emergency Diesel Generator is required, and that the System Engineer wants to start and stop the Diesel from the Control Room. The operator will be directed to conduct a Slow Start of the 1 B Emergency Diesel Generator using Enclosure-13.1 of PT/1/A/4350/002B, Diesel Generator lB Operability Test.

During the perFormance of Enclosure 13.1, a sudden loss of crankcase vacuum will be indicated together with a loss of engine speed (Alternate Path). The operator will be expected to stop the engine with the normal stop switch.

[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 samiled 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).

2. Cred. Dist.: Second part of distractors B. and D. is non-plausible because of the additional information . . . due to a loss of cooling flow that is not supported by any conditions in the Q stem.

I 3. Partial: What procedure directs the actions? Supporting reference that was provided is the ARP display page for annunciator 2A KC HX OUTLET TEMP, which only directs the operators to reduce heat load on KC system However, ifthe operators were to secure all NCPs, that is an action that reduces the heat load on the KC system.

Therefore, distractor C. is a second correct answer. For A to be the only correct answer, we must have a procedural reference that specifically states reduce NC system cooldown rate as the required action for the conditions given in the Q stem.

4. Cues: First part of answers A. and B. contains cueing in the answer choice; as submitted, reduce the KC system heat load by . . . is a big tip-off because it is not the specific action (reduce NC system cooldown rate), instead it is a very broad statement

2. Stem focus and Partial: We need to state specific nomenclature as is listed in the control room instead of generic categories. For example: LT-XXX, PZR LEVEL CHAN II, will indicate than actual level. This also gets us away from multiple correct answers; if an applicant believes NC PZR indicated level means the wide-range, colder calibrated level instrument, then distractor C. is also a correct answer.
3. LOD=1/GFES. The Q can be answered via simple recall of GFES components lessons (e.g., mnemonic hot cal reads high/cold cal reads low). Because this is a site-specific exam, the Q can not be exclusively GFES-orientated.
4. One way to approach the K/A would be to test instruments that may or may not be affected by containment temperature (i.e. whether the parameter has adverse containment values in EOPs or not). For example, consider the following Q sketch/outline: after isolating RV to containment a steam break occurs and containment temperature is XXX degrees F. The operating crew is implementing EOPs and is evaluating SI termination criteria. The team (will/will NOT) have to use adverse containment values for subcooling. The team (will/will NOT) have to use adverse containment values for RVLIS level.

Q is U due to LOD=1/GFES-only evaluation.

3. Stem focus: all answer choices include entry into REQUIRED ACTIONS of LCO 3.6.1 3, so logically we dont really have to consider any other possibility.
4. Cred. Dist: Dont believe second part of C and D are plausible. Giving licensee benefit of the doubt here with E rating instead of U rating due to ease of correction (?).

Basis for this determination: second part of Q states what is the concern with increasing ice bed temperature? (i.e. temps going up) and second part of distractors talks about ice buildup. Logically iftemps are going up why would more ice buildup be a concern?

Opposite effect should be correct.

3. Cred. Dist: Distractor A. is non plausible. If the applicant correctly recognizes the issue with the NC pump, there is no circumstance in any other procedure that will direct the operator to intentionally violate a plant interlock, lower power, and then trip the NCP with no other words about E-O entry. Because there are no additional words about E-O entry, distractor A. is saying its perfectly acceptable to stay at 48% indefinitely with a tripped NCP.

2. The Q format is a little confusing. How could all the conditions given in the stem be present 20 minutes later, if trend information is given? We must be precise as to what we are asking, precise as to specifically what the conditions are that we are asking the applicants to evaluate.
3. There appears to be erroneous information in the General Discussion portion of the answer/distractor analysis. The final statement reads: If the containment barrier was also affected, the classification was be [sic] upgraded to a General Emergency. The correct answer is a General Emergency, so this statement does not make sense in context.
4. Cred. Dist. : Because this is an open reference question, by giving four unique EALs, it essentially becomes a direct look-up question; all the applicant has to do is look at the four choices and match them with the given conditions (i.e. rather than the other way around which is what would actually happen in an operational context). This makes the other distracters non-plausible.

-Reactor tripped automatically and SI actuated automatically

-1 B D/G failed to start

2. Partial: Do not believe there is specifically a correct answer in the first part answer choices. Based on the given conditions in the stem, when the operator reaches step 22 of enclosure 8 of FR-H.1 the answer to the left-hand column will be yes, which means that the 22.a.RNO is not applicable. When the operator moves on to step 23, the answer to the left-hand column will be no, which makes the 23.a. RNO applicable.

This leads to a correct answer to the first part of the Q to be: align feed flow to just one S/G to establish flow rate required to lower core exit T/Cs. Therefore, it is technically incorrect to state that the correct answer is feed flow indication going up AND CETs decreasing. It would be more correct to state CETs decreasing ONLY.

3. Cred Dist: when comparing the second part answer choices, reactor vessel nozzles is not plausible, its obvious that if operators were to thermally shock the reactor vessel nozzles they would have already over-thermally shocked the SG tubes as well, which are going to feel the direct effects of introducing the cold CF flow onto the hot&dry S/G tubes.

2. Stem Focus: try to find a better way of putting the crew in a particular spot in the procedure instead of stating crew is at step #XX, because use of such a format implies (incorrectly?) that there is an expectation to know/recognize every step in every procedure by number. Recommendation below.
3. Credible dist.: As submitted, distractor B is non plausible. With the conditions as given, it is obvious that FR-S.1 has not helped the team fix the situation, why would they immediately transition away from the highest possible priority procedure to perform a lower-priority procedure?

Consider the following recommendation:

Initial conditions on Unit 1:

-The crew implemented E-O (Reactor Trip or Safety Injection) due to a valid Reactor trip signal.

-Subsequently the crew transitioned to FR-S.1 (Response to Nuclear Power Generation/ATWS) due to a failure of the Reactor to trip automatically or manually.

Current conditions:

-The crew has just completed the step in FR-S.1 to check NC T-colds stable or going up, and is now evaluating plant conditions for a potential procedural transition.

-I/R SUR is positive.

-W/R Neutron Flux is 7%

-CETs are 1220 F and increasing Based on the current conditions, which ONE (1) ofthe following describes the NEXT required procedural implementation, in accordance with FR-SI?

A. Complete the actions of FR-S.l and then implement FR-C.l (Response to Inadequate Core Cooling).

B. Perform actions of FR-C.I (Response to Inadequate Core Cooling) that do jj. cool down the NC system or add positive reactivity to the core in parallel with FR-S.l.

C. Perform actions of FR-C.l (Response to Inadequate Core Cooling) in parallel with FR-S.1.

D. GO TO EG/I/A/MSAM/SACRG1 (Severe Accident Control Room Guideline Initial Response).

2. Cred. Dist.: second part of distractors C. and D. are non-plausible. Why would starting requirements not need to be met before starting an NCP? There is no situation in E-3 where NCPs are started without support systems, and there are no conditions given in the stem that would lead the applicant to believe FRP requirements for starting NCPs without support systems apply.

. Partial: Need to tighten up the first part Q statement to ensure that first part of I distractors A. and C. are not potentially correct; for example in accordance with the EOP background document for E-3, the principal reason for restarting an NC pump at this point in E-3 is to during the subsequent recovery.

2. Although the Q asks per design basis, the provided references show that the 1-hour battery limit is also included as a NOTE in APi 5. Knowledge of NOTES or CAUTIONS in AOPs and EOPs is considered RO-level knowledge. Therefore, the applicant can elicit the correct answer from RO level knowledge that is not exclusive to SROs; i.e., to be considered SRO only level, information that is contained in the design basis needs to be exclusively stated in the design basis, or other reference that is specific to SRO knowledge requirements (such as TS bases, FSAR analyses, etc.). If the information is listed in the design basis and another source that is either systems-level knowledge or RO level knowledge, it cannot be considered as SRO only.

I Q is U due to not meeting SRO only knowledge level.

89 H 2 x K/A WE1 1 G2.4.23 1 Q does not meet K/A on the SRO level. The K/A specifically requires knowledge of bases information ( knowledge of the bases for prioritizing emergency procedure implementation ); however, given the psychometrics of the Q, there are 4 unique answers that only deal with the next actions by the crew; therefore, an applicant can elicit the unique correct answer with only knowledge of the next required action, and not demonstrate any knowledge of bases information to get the correct answer.

3. Partial: be careful with the use of the logical ONLY here; recommend specifically stating what is meant as follows:

A. The release may NOT be approved due to inadequate number of RC pumps.

2. Cred. Dist.: Second part ofA, B, and D non plausible. Discussion: second parts of A and B are very similar and logically are interdependent of each other; i.e., if the core becomes [completely] uncovered, core cooling has been lost. Furthermore, when discussing critical safety functions, to state core cooling has been lost is a specific condition that is not supported by conditions in the stem; the only information we are given is that the team has swapped ECCS suctions to cold leg recirculation which contradicts the statement that core cooling has been lost. Therefore, distractor A is non plausible. Distractor B states that the core has become uncovered, but it is RO level knowledge to know that the core uncovered setpoint is RVLIS lower level of 39%--with RVLIS at over half full reading, why would applicant think that the core is uncovered?

Distractor D is non plausible because the applicants have seen many LBLOCAs in the simulator where the RCS and the FWST are voided/dumped into the containment sumps and the levels do not come close to offscale high.

Q is U due to multiple non plausible distractors.

Consider the following recommendation, dont know if it works for McGuire or not:

Initial conditions on Unit 1:

-an accident occurred resulting in automatic Reactor Trip and Safety Injection

-Containment pressure peaked at 2.8 PSIG and is slowly decreasing Current conditions:

-ECCS suctions have been aligned for Cold Leg Recirculation

-FWST level is 7% and lowering

-NC pressure is 2 PSIG

-CETs = 600 °F and increasing

-RVLIS lower level = 49% and lowering

-Containment sump levels are as follows:

LT-XXX=13.1 ft and rising, LT-XXX=12.9 ft and rising, LT-XXX=7 ft and stable Based on the current conditions, which ONE (1) of the following states the required procedure transition, AND the reason for implementation of this procedure?

A. Implement FR-C.2 (Response to Degraded Core Cooling).

The level of water in the core region has been reduced such that a challenge exists to core cooling.

B. Implement FR-C.2 (Response to Degraded Core Cooling).

Containment sump levels are invalid and can be disregarded due to instrument failures.

C. Implement FR-Z.2 (Response to Containment Flooding).

Containment sump levels are higher than expected, indicating a potential for a ruptured RN or KC pipe inside containment.

D. Implement FR-Z.2 (Response to Containment Flooding).

Containment sump levels are higher than expected, indicating a potential secondary line (feedwater or main steam) break inside containment along with the input from the NC system and the FWST.

2. Cred. Dist. And Partial: Second part of all distractors needs revision and strengthening.
