  • a. The examinee will assume the shift as the ATC during an ATVVS condition. The examinee will be directedto initiate Emergency Boration using EA-68-4 EMERGENCY BORATION section 4.2. During thealignment the emergency borate valve will fail to operate. The examinee uses the alternate path toestablish emergency boration flow through the normal boration flowpath.

    b. The examinee will assume the shift with Excess Letdown in service. The examinee will remove ExcessLetdown from service using 1-SO-62-6, Excess Letdown Section 7.0.

    c. The examinee will assume the shift five hours after a LOCA. The ECCS was placed in Cold LegRecirculation using ES-i .3, Transfer to RHR Containment Sump. The examinee will be directed to placethe ECCS in Hot Leg Recirculation using ES-i .4, Transfer to Hot Leg Recirculation. During the alignment,the 1A Safety Injection pump trips. The examinee uses the alternate path to establish Hot Legrecirculation flow through the 1 B Safety Injection pump.

    d. The examinee will assume the shift in MODE 5 and the A Train RHR pump in service in the ShutdownCooling mode with a slight cooldown in progress. While monitoring plant operation the A Train RHR pumptrips and the examinee will respond to the condition using AOP-R.03, RHR SYSTEM MALFUNCTION.The examinee will place the B Train RHR pump in service and re-establish control of RHR temperaturewith a slight cooldown.

    e. The examinee will assume the shift in MODE 3 with no AFW flow available. The examinee will use EA-2-2, Establishing Secondary Heat sink using Main Feedwater or Condensate section 4.4 and start a MainFeed pump and control feed flow using a Main Feed Regulating Bypass Valve.

    f. The examinee will assume the shift after a LOCA and a High Containment Pressure condition. Theexaminee will use FR-Z. 1, High Containment Pressure, starting at step 13 to establish RHR Spray flow toreduce Containment pressure. During the alignment, the B Train RHR Spray flow isolation valve FCV-72-41 fails to operate. The examinee uses the alternate path to re-establish B Train RHR to the injectionmode and establishes A Train RHR to the Containment Spray mode.

    g. The examinee will assume the shift in MODE 3 following a Loss of Power event to the 1A 6.9kvShutdown Board with the 1A EDG supplying power to the board. The examinee will restore power usingEA-202-1 Restoring Offsite Power to 6900V Shutdown Boards. The examinee will parallel the 1A EDG tooffsite power using the normal supply breaker and ultimately unload stop the 1A EDG.

    h. The examinee will assume the shift in MODE I and perform a calibration check and adjustment of thePower Range Nuclear Instrumentation.

    The examinee will assume the shift in MODE 3 with a mechanical overspeed trip condition on the TDAFW pump.

    b. Ensure that any changes from the previously approved systems and administrative walk-through ,outlines (Forms ES-301-1 and 2) have not caused the test to deviate from any of the acceptance 4 ç—criteria (e.g., item distribution, bank use, repetition from the last 2 NRC examinations) specifiedon those forms and Form ES-201-2.

    1. Ensure that at least two topics from every applicable KIA category are sampled within each tier of the ROand SRO-only outlines (I.e., except for one category in Tier 3 of the SRO-only outline, the Tier Totals’in each KIA category shall not be less than two).

    2. The point total for each group and tier in the proposed outline must match that specified In the table.The final point total for each group and tier may deviate by ±1 from that specified In the tablebased on NRC revisions. The final RO exam must total 75 poInts and the SRO-only exam must total 25 poInts.

    3. Systemslevolutions within each group are Identified on the associated outlIne; systems or evolutions that donot apply at the facility should be deleted and justified; operationally important, site-specific systems that arenot included on the outline should be added. Refer to ES-401, Attachment 2, for guidance regardingthe elimination of Inappropriate KIA statements.

    4. Select topics from as many systems and evolutions as possible; sample every system or evolutionIn the group before selecting a second topic for any system or evolution.

    5. Absent a plant-specific priority, only those KIAs having an Importance rating (lR) of 2.5 or higher shall beselected. Use the RO and SRO ratings for the RO and SRO-only portions, respectively.

    6. Select SRO topics for Tiers I and 2 from the shaded systems and KIA categories.

    7. The generic (G) KIAs in Tiers I and 2 shall be selected from Section 2 of the K1A Catalog, but the topicsmust be relevant to the applicable evolution or system.

    8. On the following pages, enter the KIA numbers, a brief description of each topic, the topics’ importanceratings (IRS) for the applicable license level, and the point totals (#) for each system and category. Enterthe group and tier totals for each category in the table above; if fuel handling equipment is sampled in otherthan Category A2 or G* on the SRO-only exam, enter it on the left side of Column A2 for Tier 2, Group 2 (Note#1 does not apply). Use duplicate pages for RO and SRO-only exams.

    9. For Tier 3, select topics from Section 2 of the KIA catalog, and enter the KJA numbers, descriptions, IRs,and point totals (#) on Form ES-4014. Umit SRO selections to KIAs that are linked to 10 CFR 55.43.

    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.

    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:

    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).

    Check the appropriate box if a job content error is identified:he 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).he 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).he 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 samDled for conformance with the approved K)A and those that are designated SRO-only (K/A and license level mismatches are unacceptable).. 6. Enter the question source: Bank (B), Modified (M), or New (N). Check that Modified (M) questions meet criteria of ES-401 Section D.2.f.

    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?

    At a minimum, explain any “U” ratings (e.g., how the Appendix B psychometric attributes are not being met).
