I acknowledge that I have acquired specialized knowledge about the NRC licensing examinations scheduled for the week(s) of
 
as of the date of my signature.
I agree that I will not knowingly divulge any information about these examinations to any persons who have not been authorized by the NRC chief examiner.
I understand that I am not to instruct, evaluate, or provide performance feedback to those applicants scheduled to be administered these licensing examinations from this date until completion of examination administration, except as specifically noted below and authorized by the NRC (e.g., acting as a simulator booth operator or communicator is acceptable if the individual does not select the training content or provide direct or indirect feedback).
Furthermore, I am aware of the physical security measures and requirements (as documented in the facility licensees procedures) and understand that violation of the conditions of this agreement may result in cancellation of the examinations and/or an enforcement action against me or the facility licensee.
I will immediately report to facility management or the NRC chief examiner any indications or suggestions that examination security may have been compromised.
2.
Post-Examination To the best of my nowlqdg9, I did not divulge to any unauthorized persons any information concerning the NRC licensing examinations administered during the week(s) of 57/4 - 7.23 / tt,o From the date that I entered into this security agreement until the completion of examination administration, I did not instruct, evaluate, or provide performance feedback to those applicants who were administered these licensing examinations, except as specifically noted below and authorized by the NRC.

Im a little unsure as to what to do with this 0, it has a few issues. First part distractor analysis talks about compliance with LCO 3.1.6, and the applicant is given the RiL curves as a reference. However, once you have inserted all control banks, you are back in MODE 2 whh keff less than 1.0 and the LCO 3.1.6 boration requirement no longer applies.

[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 24 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 ciuestions that are sampled 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).

Specifically, it could be argued for this Q that FR-P.i checks for two parameters to verify LELOCA (therefore potential for no correct answer). Easy fix though, recommend 0 statement as follows: FR-Ri uses the parameters of NC pressure and (2) to check if a large break LOCA has occurred.

1. Q=K/A, Q is on RO level.
2. Distractors A(1) and C(1) are non-plausible; there are no conditions or exceptions given in the stem that would lead an applicant to think that only the shunt trip failed to operate. A(2) and B(2) distractors are weakly plausible because there is no reason for the operator to not also open the MG set breakers.

Q as submitted is U due to multiple non plausible distractors.

Potential fix recommendation:

Given the following initial conditions on Unit 1:

-Power stable at 100% with surveillance testing in progress

-Reactor Trip Breaker A (RTA) and Bypass Breaker B (BYB) are racked-in and closed.

The following sequence of events occurs:

-A complete loss of feedwater occured

-All efforts to trip the Reactor from the control room were unsuccessful

-Operators entered EP/1/N5000/FR-S.1 (Response to Nuclear Power Generation/ATWS)

-An AC was dispatched to locally trip the Reactor Based on the given conditions, Reactor Trip Breaker A (RTA)

(1) coil(s) failed to operate as designed.

If the AC is successful in opening all Reactor Trip and Bypass breakers, then per FR-S.1 it [is/is NOT] required to open the MG set breakers locally.

1. Q=K/A, Q is on RO level.
2. Distractors C(2) and D(2) are non plausible. When the reactor trips, operators are making a MODE change no matter what the previous conditions of the unit were; therefore, it does not make sense that ensuring an inadvertent mode change does not occur would be a reason for a reactor trip function setpoint.

I 0 as submitted is U due to multiple non plausible distractors.

1. Q=KIA, 0 is on RO level.
2. Distractor C is not plausible when compared to distractor Ait doesnt make sense that you would wait on starting the D/Gs from the control room to dispatch an operator to try for local actions when the question asks for FIRST action attempted.
3. Distractor D is weakly plausible. Recommend adding a bullet to stem such as Unit 2 was unaffected by the loss of offsite power on Unit 1. Giving some benefit of the doubt here.

2. There is some level of overlap between this Q and SRO 084; believe this is acceptable because the reason for natural circulation flow is different (RCP trip criteria vs. loss of offsite power). Lets discuss during in-office review to ensure everyone is in agreement.

Q is evaluated as U at this time due to job-link/minutia concerns (asking greater than one hour TS actions statements w/no reference).

Based on facility licensee comments, it was determined that actual specification asked in the Q statement was actually a 30 minute spec and therefore within the bounds of being asked from memory without a reference.

2. First part 0 is worded awkwardly, if asked w/no multiple choice I would probably answer that the flywheel ensures proper coastdown time of the NC pumps; its hard for me to make sense of a statement that a particular reactor trip ensures a pump coasts down.
3. Level of difficulty 1/GFES knowledge and credible distractorslogically second part 0 can be answered by GEES-level reasoning and logic as follows: when operating at normal at-power conditions, actual heat flux is some value lower than critical heat flux.

After a trip, if actual heat flux decreases at a lower rate, it stays closer to critical heat flux which is worse, therefore A(2) and C(2) non plausible. The converse makes sense:

after a trip, if the critical heat flux limit decreases at a lower rate, no matter what actual heat flux is it is better.

Is it required to memorize all MODE 2 vs. other MODE surveillance limit values? Not sure if this question is operationally validbelieve a minutia argument would be effective. For Tier 3 Generics, its always better to try to hit concepts instead of asking specific values. For this question, can we ask something more conceptual, for example is preconditioning during a valve stroke time test allowed? Or maybe when performing a stroke time test, do you start the stopwatch when the button is pressed, or when the light changes, something like that is a more pure K/A topical hit for Tier 3 questions.

0 as submitted is U due to minutia/job-link/operational validity concerns (requiring memorization of surveillance values in every MODE).

1. Q=KIA, C is on SRO only level.
2. Minutia: without a reference, essentially the first part C requires the applicants to have TS Table 3.3.3-1 memorized, but this is a 30-day LCO spec; in other words, I do not believe it is operationally valid to ask this C without a reference, but a reference would likely make it a DLU.
3. As submitted disttactots C(2) and D(2) are non plausible; it does not make sense that the basis of a high range containment area rad monitor would be to detect fuel clad leakers.

If distractors A or D were correct, then you would also be required to enter 3.8.1 CONDITION A and B as well to meet the MINIMUM Tech Spec Conditions per TS rules of usage. Because this is not an available option, it makes distractors A and D non plausible.

4. Be careful with the analysis textldistractor write-ups for this Ql believe the NOTE before 3.8.1. Condition D does not apply for the given plant conditions (bus I EDE is listed in LCO 3.8.9 as a DC train subsystem, not as an AC source to a distribution system). Also, I would need to be entering 3.8.1 Condition D to invoke the provisions of the NOTE (instead of independently/directly entering 3.8.9 due to the loss of power to a required DC train).

2.

Im a little unsure as to what to do with this 0, it has a few issues. First part distractor analysis talks about compliance with LCO 3.1.6, and the applicant is given the RiL curves as a reference. However, once you have inserted all control banks, you are back in MODE 2 whh keff less than 1.0 and the LCO 3.1.6 boration requirement no longer applies. Also, the first part Q specifically asks what is required by PT/01 9, which will require a boration eventuallywas this the knowledge that was intended to be asked?

Also, this is probably a case where the use of the word ONLY to take care of the subset problem is not the right way to goPT/019 will obviously require lots of other steps no matter what the initial action(s) is/are. The way the distractor is currently worded almost implies insertion of control banks and simultaneous boration, which is not what I think is directed by the PT/019 procedure.

3. Distractor A is non plausible, because there is no direct cause and effect relationship between control rod position and SDM.
4. Distractors C(2) and D(2) are weakly plausible when compared with SDM requirements due to the low power condition. Recommend strengthening these distractors by using something like ensure FQ(X,Y,Z) remains within limits due to the slow time response of both the moderator temperature coefficient and the Doppler (fuel) temperature coefficient reactivity feedback at low power conditions.

Q appears E at this time.

Facility licensee proposed different editorial changes to modified 0, NRC and facility licensee made additional modifications to 0 statement and second part distractors.

Final modified Q now appears ready to administer on the NRC exam.

2. general question since leak rate value is such a big issue with the 0, should we also provide RCP seal injection flows/seal return flows as well (based on whatever indications/instruments are available in the control room that would be used in an actual situation). This modification may not be needed, lets discuss during the in-office review.

Q as submitted appears E at this time.

During discussion with facility licensee, agreed w/facility that normal values for RCP seal return are reasonable to be known for the purposes of calculating leak rates tor this Q.

1. QK/A, QSRO only level.
2. Due to the psychometric structure of the second part Q and distractors, it is a logical true that ND is required, and the only question is whether or not NV and NI are also required along with ND flow. Plausibility of one ND pump flow rate vs. ND, NV, and NI pump flow rate is low. Recommend asking the Q a little more close to the language in the basis document as tollows:

The basis for allowing one train of ND to be used for Aux Containment Spray is that, after the above time limit, adequate ECCS flow via Cold Leg Recirc is provided by a single train of(2)

2. 0 may be o.k. as submitted, my concern is requiring detailed knowledge of RP/06A (without providing the reference) and also not being able (on a written exam) to provide other indications that would be available to the SM during an event. Lets discuss the operational validity during in-office review. Worst case would be to need to develop another second part Q.
