The following generic deficiency was noted during oral exams. Both R0's and SRO's lacked full understanding of why upper and lower linear range nuclear instruments together totaled more than 100% power.
4.
Generic deficiencies noted from grading of written exams:
R0 examination a.
Reason for caution on operation of only one RCP.
b.
CIS logic when in " BLOCK".
c.
Source of interlock signal for regulating withdrawal interlocks.
SRO examination a.
Changes to beta-bar and reactor period as the core ages.
b.
Primary indicator cf loss of natural circulation.
c.
How LHGR Safety Limit changes with core average burnu.
Personnel Present at Exit Interview:
NRC Personnel D. Coe, Chief Examiner C. Holden, Senior Resident Inspector Facility Personnel J. Garrity, Plant Manager J. Frothingham, Operations Department Head A. Shean, Manager of Training M. Everingham, Operations Training Section Head J. Kirsch, Supervisor, Operations Training Group M. Swartz, Supervisor, Simulator Group B. O'Brien, Senior Instructor J. Sanoski, Senior Instructor 6.
Summary of NRC Comments made at exit interview:
Simulator Performance Due to an apparent simulator malfunction, the candidates lost control of the turbine control valves while at low power. This occurred twice; but, in both cases, the examination proceeded without interruption.
Licensee corrective action will be verified during the next simulator examination.
Procedures The emergency classification chart which identifies the conditions under which a steam-line break will initiate an ALERT is imprecise in that the criteria are listed as "CSAS with containment pressare (greater than) 20
. psi."
It does not specify if the pressure is in absolute or gage and is further complicated by intending to mean gage pressure when control room indications and E0P's use absolute (0 pen Item 86-16-01).
The licensee has committed to correcting this using their normal change procedures.
Candidate Performance Although no specific preliminary results were given, the NRC commented that the license training programs appear to be providing a good knowledge and skill foundation for these operators.

THEORY OF NUCLEAR POWER PLANT OPERATION, FLUIDS, AND PAGE
THERMODYNAMICS QUESTION 5.01 (1.00)
As a result of core burnup, beta-bar (eff) will change. This change in beta-bar (eff) would mean a change in the reactor period that would follow the insertion of a small amount of positive reactivity.
As the core ages from BOL to EOL, beta-bar (eff) will (1.0)
(a.) increase and the stable, positive reactor period will be larger.
(b.) increase and the stable, positive reactor period will be smaller.
(c.) decrease and the stable, positive reactor period will be larger.
(d.) decrease and the stable, positive reactor period will be smaller.
Comment: The question should address SUR instead of reactor pericd, seeing as the Maine Yankee instrumentation and procedures do not refer to reactor period.
QUESTION 5.02 (2.00)

ANSWER 5.02 (2.00)
After the trip the neutron flux level decreases rapidly and this rapidly decreases the "Xe burnout" (neutron absorption in Xe-135).
The primary source of Xe-135 in the core is due to the decay of the fission product I-135.
The I-135 concentration level will have been set by the 100% power level operation prior to the trip. After the trip the I-135 concentration will decrease at its radioactive decay rate (which is faster than the radioactive decay rate of Xe-135).
Hence, after the trip the rate of production of Xe-135 will not initially change while the rate of removal of Xe-135 by absorption will decrease immediately. [+2.0]

ANSWER 6.07 (3.00)
a.
Th would be about 2 deg F hotter so that delta T-power in the primary is the same [+1.0].
This neglects any increase in thermal losses.
b.
The increased primary temperatures would mean a higher steam and hence a higher steam pressure [+1.0].
c.
The higher S/G temperature and pressure would mean a lower enthalpy steam. Hence the steam flowrate must be greater to generate the same output power [+1.')].

ANSWER 5.08 (1.50)
The MTC is more negative at EOC than at BOC [+0.5].
This difference increases the severity of the incident at E0C because the incident provides a sudden cooling of the RCS [+0.5] which because of the more negative MTC causes the reactivity of the core to increase more than at BOC [+0.5].

'tW L FACILITY COMMENTS / RESOLUTIONS
^ Question 1.01 Facility Comment: Question asks for a response in terms of " reactor period." Although this unit is widely known and used in some plants, it is not measured or discussed in any Maine Yankee Operational Documents.
An answer discussing response in terms of startup rate should be accepted.
It is again requested that the NRC refrain from use of this term in exams given at Maine Yankee.
Resolution: Maine Yankee Training Lesson, MT-T-65, Rev. 1, Lesson Number R0-L-1.10 is entitled, " Period, SUR, In-Hour." This lesson plan references NUS Manual Module 3 in which the title to Section 6.2 is
" Pe ri od. " In the answer key add to the reference list the following:
2.
Maine Yankee: Reactor Operator Reactor Theory and Lesson Plans,
" Period, SUR, In-Hour," R0-L-1.10, pp. 2 through 7.
Question 1.03 Facility Comment: This question refers to a calculation of SDM which is not performed at Maine Yankee. SDM is defined in Technical Specifications but no formula for calculation exists. All references to ensuring sufficient SDM exists refer the operation to approved curves in the TDB.
The candidates will more than likely list many _of the factors acceptable by your answer key but may break down the power defect into its associated components (moderator, fuel, void, pressure defects) which should also be acceptable.
It is again requested that the NRC refrain from reference to this calculation not used at Maine Yankee in future examinations.
Your reference of R0-L-18 probably is incorrect as it does not discuss SDM.
Resolution: Maine Yankee Training Lesson, MT-T-65, Rev. 1, Lesson Number R0-L-1.8, R0-L-1.9, R0-L-1.10, etc. all list on page 1 that "the trainee will be able to perform the following evolutions;--- b) Shutdown margin calculation." Change the answer key to read:
2.

.
Question 1.04a Facility Comment: Maine Yankee may have a positive MTL at B0C.
If the candidate assumes a positive MTC, the POAH is of concern because it will cause an addition of positive reactivity and therefore a larger SUR.
See Lesson Plans R0-L-1.7 and R0-L-1.11.
Resolution: In the question and in the answer key change P0H to POAH.
Add to the answer key the following: At BOC, the reactor may have a positive MTC [+0.3].
If the MTC is positive, the PGAH is of concern because it would represent the point at which additional reactivity is added to the core; which, in turn, would increase the SUR [+0.5].
Change the reference to:
1.
Maine Yankee:......, pp. 19 and 20, and Viewgraph 13.6-2.
Question 1.04b Facility Comment: Steam pressure will probably not increase since the turbine bypass system will maintain pressure constant if in AUTO (normal lineup) - Systems Training Manual, Vol. 5, Ch. 25.
An increase in PZR level and pressure (with appropriate CVCS response, i.e., increase in letdown / decrease in changing) may be the operators best indications depending on rate of power rise to the P0AH.
Systems Training Manual, Vol. 1, Ch. 4.
Resolution: The Reactor Operator Reactor Theory and Lesson Plans,
'
R0-L-1.11 should be corrected.
Change the answer key to read:
T-ave increases [+0.3]
SUR decreases
[+0.3]
PZR level and pressure increases (with CVCS response)
[+0.3]
Turbine bypass valves open further to keep S/G pressure from increasing
[+ 0.3]
[+0.9 maximum]

Question 1.06 Facility Comment: The question tells the candidate that the scenario begins with "all controllers in AUTO." This statement is confusing in that it could lead the candidate to assume conditions which are not normal for 70% power.
I assume that the examiner means that system alignments are normal for this power level.
If so, I believe the answer to be incorrect.
If the RCS flowrate is decreased while holding steam demand constant (which will be true with normal system lineups), then the RCS delta T (Th-Tc)willincrease(ThT,Tc}). T-ave as indicated to the operator will not change from steady state to steady state.
If T-ave remains the same, there would be little or no change in steam generator temperature or pressure.
If steam generator pressure does not change, then steam flow will not change.
Regardless of what happens to T-ave, pressurizer level will remain the same since the level controller will be set to maintain 50% level at 70%
power.
Letdown and charging flow rates will fluctuate to maintain this level.
Systems Training Manual, Vol. 1, Ch. 3/4.
Other answers should be accepted depending on the candicates assumption of
"all controllers in AUTO."
Resolution: The answer to "a.",
"b.", and "c." will be treated as a single question.
If the candidate answers that T-ave would increase, then the answers given in the answer key would be correct and worth [+1.5].
If the candidate answers that T-ave does not change, an answer that the S/G conditions would not change would be correct and worth [+1.5].
The answer to "d." will be changed to "no change in PZR level if the setpoint is in MANUAL or PZR level would increase if setpoint is auto-controlled by the RRS [+0.5]. "

Question 1.07b Facility Comment: Maine Yankee does not use the reactivity unit of pcm in any operational document. Assuming the students uses reactivity in terms of % delta rho:
K-K
1 1.004 - 1.0 rho = ------- = ---------- = 0.4% delta rho KK 1.004
Resolution: During the examination it was announced that the answer could be given in any units. Hence, the answer key will read:
b.
398 pcm or 0.398% delta rho.
Question 1.07c Facility Comment: Same comment as above.
K-K
1 1.004 - 0.92 rho = -------
= 0.4% delta rho KK (1.004)(0.92)
It is requested that the NRC refrain from using reactivity terms other than those used in our operational documents in future examinations.
See Lesson Plan R0-L-1.10.
Resolution: During the examination it was announced that the answer could be giver in any units. Hence, the answer key will read:
c.
9090 pcm or 9.09% delta rho.
Answer 2.02c Facility Comment: Answer Key has correct answer listed under (d.)
Answer should read "inside the neutron shield tank against the inner l
wall."
Systems Training Manual, " Containment Building," Ch. PG-13.
-
Pesolution: Interchange "c." and "d." in the answer key.

.
Question 2.04 Facility Comment: Maine Yankee has only 3 SIT's not 4.
The questicn refers to operational " MODES." Maine Yankee does not refer to operating conditions as MODES. We assume you mean " Power Operation Condition" or Condition 7.
This question has ne correct response since our SIT isolation MOV's are disabled OPEN
.
It is again requested that the NRC refrain from referring to operational
" MODES" in examinations given at Maine Y?nkee.
Resolution: Delete Question 2.04.
Question 2.06 Facility Comment: N2 is normally isolated to containment and any overpressure will be relieved to the hydrogenated vent header via PR-A-45 (quench tank vent valve).
Systems Training Manual, "PZR and Press Relief," Ch. PG-25.
Resolution: Change the wording in the answer key to read:
PRESSURE [+0.25] (The quench tank is pressurized as needed by the addition of N2 gas to maintain 2 psig.) The tank will automatically vent on increasing pressure (beyond 18 psig) to the hydrogenated vent header
[+0.75].
Modify the reference to include pp. 22 through 26.
!
Answer 2.07a Facility Comment: Correct answer should be to avoid thrust shift or thrust reversal conditions causing excessive shaft movement and seal damage (movement is vertical rather than radial).
OP-1-1 Step 7.0 and 7.2 Systems Training Manual, "RCS," Ch. PG-60.
Resolution: Change the answer to read: to avoid thrust shift reversal conditions causing excessive shaft movement and seal damage [+1.0].
Maine Yankee

Question 2.09b Facility Comment: Two charging (HPSI) pumps are also required whenever boron concen!. ration is less than the Hot Shutdown Boron Concentration (Tech Specs 3.10).
Even though technical specifications require 2 at power (72%), two may be required at lower power levels.
Resolution: Change the answer to read:
reactor power > 2% [+1.0]
boron concentration ( hot shutdown boron concentration [+0.5]
[+1.0 maximum]
Add a second reference:
2.
Maine Yankee: Technical Specifications, Section 3.10.
Answer 2.11 Facility Comment: The answer key is incorrect.
From reviewing the listed reference, it is apparent that the examiner has listed design valves and not " normal operating parameters."
Same reference Pg. 32 gives normal operating pressure as 10-20 psig.
Control room logs give normal band as 15-25 psig (Surveillance Proc.
3.1.1).
Control room logs give normal band as90-110 deg (Surveillance Proc. 3.1.1).
"VCT Spray" is a term not used at Maine Yankee.
It is assumed that the normal valve you request is that for letdown flow (Surveillance Proc.
3.1.1) (logs) lists70-150 gpm as normal band.
i
'
Resolution: Section 5.2, " Operator Monitoring Requirements," lists, starting on page 98, nominal values as 100% of full power values.
Letdown
_
flowrate is listed as 80 gpm, VCT temperature as 115 deg F, and VCT pressure as 13 psig.
In the middle of page 99, Section 5.3, " Design Parameters" starts. On page 102 under VCT are listed normal operating pressure at 50 psig, normal operating temperature at 120 deg F, and normal spray flow at 80 gpm. As for pressure, neither 50 psig or 13 psig correspond to the surveillance range of 15 to 25 psig. As for temperature neither 120 or 115 deg F correspond to the surveillance range of 90 to 110 deg F.
80 gpm as the normal or nominal 100% power flowrate is consistent and consistent with the surveillance range of 70-150 gpm.
The answer key will read as:
Any value between a.
90 to 110 deg F b.
15 to 25 psig
,
!
c.
70 to 150 gpm
[+0.5 each]

The references will be modified to read:
1. Maine Yankee: Systems Training Manual, NS-4, Paragraph 5.2 and 5.3, pp.
98 through 102.
2.
Maine Yankee: Surveillance Procedure, 3.1.1.
Answer 2.12a Facility Comment: This can be considered FALSE since the quick open override signal is common to both.
Systems Training Manual, " Steam Dump and Turbine Bypass," p. 9.
Resolution: On page 1 of the reference, it is stated that each group of valves is operated by a separate control system. This statement requires TRUE for the answer.
If the commonality of the quick open override signal can imply an answer of FALSE, then either answer would have to be considered correct. Question 2.12a is deleted.
Answer 2.12c Facility Comment: The answer key is incorrect. The correct answer should be FALSE.
If the RRS fails as is at 100% power, the signal to provide a quick open would be " locked in" therefore the system would operate upon a turbine trip to prevent safety valves from lifting. The initiation of a turbine trip which activates the system has nothing to do with RRS.
Resolution: The answer key is amended to read, " FALSE".
!
Question 3.02c Facility Comment: This question has many potential answers depending upon initial plant conditions and subsequent pla ;t responses.
The listed answer is true only if the switch was placed in block -
I pressure was then reduced and then raised to enable an auto unblock signal. Although this feature is available, the question does not clearly elicit the response required by the key.
If the switch were placed in block as is normally done when allowed by l
procedure and other normal pressure control procedures are used then no logic exists which will generate a CIS.
Resolution: This part of the question does not ask for operational sequences, but what control logic could generate a CIS.
Figure NS-5-12,
"CIS Block Diagram," supports the answer. No change to the question or to the answer key. Add Figure NS-5-12 to the reference pages.

Answer 3.03b Facility Comment: The answer key is incorrect.
Each SMM (Rx Head and Core) have selectable temperature inputs which are normally selected to different inputs.
The Head from Th RTD - The Core from an In-Core Thermocouple.
Resolution: The answer key is changed to FALSE.
Answer 3.03c Facility Comment: The " temperature" input to the steam generator SMM is calculated from SG Press, the SG Press input is selectable from a switch on the MCB, it is therefore reasonable to answer TRUE to this question.
If taken literally, it is reasonable to answer false.
Question should be removed from grading.
Resolution: Question 3.03c is deleted.
Question ~:.05 Facility Co.' ment: Many more than 4 outputs from the plant computer exist which utilize "incore instrument signals." These include the failed detector log, rhodium alarms and others listed in the Systems Training Manual for Incore Instruments, pp.16 through 21.
,
Resolution: Pages 16 through 21 does not refer to failed-detector logs or rhodium alarms.
The question asks for 4 outputs instead of 4 printouts.
Three (3) uniquely different outputs are acceptable responses.
Answer 3.07 Facility Comment: 1) V0P input to CWP is not inhibited (10**-4%; 2) SUR input to CWP is inhibited (10**-4%.
Systems Training Manual, "CEDS," p. 15 and "RPS," p. 32.
Resolution: The answer is corrected to move " disabled below 10**-4% power
[+0.25]" from "1. " to

3 or 9 Answer 3.13a Facility Comment: Above 2000 cps the WR NI channel cuts out 2 of the 3 fission chamber detectors and displays power in % rather than cps. This seems to indicate the answer should be true not false as indicated on the key.
If the examiner is looking for false based on the fact that each
-
fission chamber detector contains 3 fission chambers, I don't feel he is asking the question to test the candidates knowledge of the system. Tiue or False is correct depending on candidates understanding of question.

Question 4.13 Facility Comment: The statements listed in this question have been taken from Procedure 10-1 and reworded. The examiner has assumed that changing the words gives a Yes/No situation which may or may not be true.
Example - Procedure 10-1, Precaution Step 3.1 reads - Core alterations or movement of irradiated fuel within the containment shall cease immediately....
If any of the following conditions occur:
3.1.1 3.1.2 3.1.3 A minimum of one boric acid transfer pump is not available....
The question states "One boric acid transfer pump is not available" and the answer key lists this as a condition which would cause a stop action.
If one boric acid transfer pump was not available and since 3 pumps exist, a is easy and reasonable to assume 2 are available; therefore the answer key is incorrect.
This k re logic can be used for #5. Only 1 is inoperable and we have 4.
We only need 2.
and for #3 With the purge valves open and a purge not in progress refueling could continue as long as the valves were operable to auto close or if (120 hrs the system was lined up through the HEPA filters and for #1 The equipment hatch can be open as long as it is covered with plywood.
Technical Specifications 3.13 and Procedure 10-1.
There exists no statement which by itself would cause a stop action to occur.
Resolution: The question is deleted.

FACILITY COMMENTS / RESOLUTIONS Question 5.01 Facility Comment: The use of the term Reactor Period is inappropriate for use in an exam given at Maine Yankee since it appears on no operational documents. See similar cc;nment for exam Section 1.
Resolution: Maine Yankee Training Lesson, MT-T-65, Rev. 1, Lesson Number R0-L-1.10 is entitled, " Period, SUR, In-Hour." This lesson plan references NUS Manual Module 3 in which the title to Section 6.2 is " Period." No change to the question and answer key.
Answer 5.06a Facility Comment: The value listed in the answer key seems to be taken from TDB curve 1.1.1.1 which assumes Hot Full Power.
At 80% power at 10 kMWD/MT the CB would be in the range of 240 to 270 ppm.
If the candidate uses the curves provided and performs a linear interpolation:
HZP - 580 ppm HFP - 200 ppm 380 ppm (80%)(380) = 304 ppm 580 - 304 ~ 276 ppm If the candidate uses trained thumbrules and the curves provided HFP ~ 200 ppm Power Defect ~ 1.8% delta rho 20% (1.8) = 0.36% delta rho IBW ~ 100 ppm /% (0.36%) ~ 36 ppm 200 + 36 = 236 ppm Resolution: The candidates were informed to simply use the provided TDB curves for parts "a."
and
"b.", indicating what figures they were using.
If the candidate calculates a boron concentration by either of the interpolation procedures suggested above, then those answers would be acceptable.

Question 5.06b Facility Comment: Question provides rod position at 520 steps which is impossible.
Assuming a typo and you mean 120 steps on group 5:
Group 5 ARO ~ 1.43% delta rho Groupt 5 120 steps ~ 0.63% delta rho IBW ~ 100 ppm /%
-0.7% 100 ppm /% ~ -70 ppm 236 - 70 ppm ~ 166 ppm This question seems to involve double jeopardy in that if a is incorrect, b cannot be correct unless the grader takes the answer in a into account.
Both 5.06a and b also do not take into account the change in Xe not available from the curves provided.
Resolution: Figure 2.6.1 shows rod position in accumulated steps from 0 to 700; 520 corrects to 80 on group 5.
The delta rho from ARO to 80 on group 5 is 1% delta k/k, which corresponds to 100 ppm boron.
Hence, the answer accepted for part "b." is the answer in part
"a." minus 100 ppm.
Question 6.03 Facility Comment: This question is similar to R0 question 3.02, the same comments apply.

Answer 6.05a Facility Comment: The correct answer to this question is that 7 valves are temperature controlled (from the steam dump system) and that 5 valves are pressure controlled (from the turbine bypass system).
Systems Training Manual, " Steam Dump and Turbine Bypass," Ch. PG-1, PG-3, and PG-8.
Resolution: On page 4 of PGS-14 it is stated that there are 10 temperature control valves and 2 pressure control valves and that 3 of the temperature control valves are used, in conjunction with the two pressure control valves, for the turbine bypass portion.
On page 1 it is stated the 7 valves comprise the Steam Dump portion of the system and the other five valves comprise the Turbine Bypass portion, and that each group of valves is operated by a separate control system.
The Steam Dump control is based on Tavg and the Turbine Bypass control on steam header pressure.
The result of this confusion is that the answer key is amended to read:
a.
10 temperature control valves and 2 pressure control valves [+1.0]
OR 7 temperature controlled valves and 5 pressure controlled valves [+1.0]
Answer 6.05e Facility Comment: Asking this question based on power level creates problems in that the signal is based on T-ave.
