All reactor operator candidates passed all portions of their examinations and will be issued licenses.
Six senior reactor operator candidates passed all portions of their examination and will be issued licenses. Of the three senior reactor operator candidates that did not pass: 1 failed the written only, 1 failed the simulator and oral only and 1 failed the written, oral and simulator.
Lack of proper examination security continues to be a problem.

Summary of NRC Comments made at exit interview: The chief examiner reviewed the number and type of examinations administered during the previous week and presented _ generic weaknessestobserved during the simulator and oral examinations.
Examination security was lax. A security officer passed through a barrier to use a restroom reserved for the candidates.
This was the third occurrence of this type.
In addition, personnel entered and exited the simulator without prior approval. The licensee committed, in a letter dated June 18, 1986, to station a security guard during the written examination and to post conspicuous signs during the simulator examination. These actions should be adequate to ensure examination security.
Initially security access to the plant was delayed. However, attention by management improved access and reduced delays in later entries into the plant.
IX.
Examination Review An examination review was conducted after the completion of all operating exams.
Items from Attachment 3 were discussed on a line item basis. All items were considered during grading but not all items resulted in a change to the master exam. Attachment 4 details the significant changes to the examinations.

... ANSWER 6.01 (1.00) - - Steam venting out the break occurs sooner E0.25] for a hot leg break than for a cold leg break because of the loop seal between the.S/G and RCP E0.253. Thus, inject'fon flou is more effective in the hot leg break because injection flou exceeds break flow when break fine shifts + from 2 phase to all steam E0.253.
Therefore, less mass is lost from the system E0.253.

AHSWER 6.03 (2.00) As power decreases, steam flow detector delta-P decreases, . and steam generator pressure increases.
CO.43 Since steam flow uses a square root extractor corrected for ' steam pressure, and steam pressure is stuck at a lower value ' than actual, indicated steam flow will be lower than actual flow.
CO.43 'The steam-feed flow error signal will tend to close the FWRV.
LO.43 As the level decreases, the level signal will open the FWRV.
00.43 Eventually, the level error will cancel the flow error and steam floe will equal feed flow at a lower level.

Ef fect on rod worth is dependent on location of rod ' in question relative to the rod moved.
If rod inserted is close to one in question, the moved cod will depress the flux in the region and lesson the worth of rods in close proximity.
If rod inserted is far away from the rod in question the flux in _ the region of this questioned rod will increase and-its worth will increase.

Answer Ke;- discusses B from BOL to EOL which has no bearing on this question.
Rod Worth curves , are not based on B.
,. A more correct answer should compare rod worth at BOL to EOL and conclude that rod worth , increases over life.
Since BOL curves are used the reactor will actually go critical below the calculated ECP.
