- 05 Operator Training and Qualificdion 05.1 General Comme 013 Operator in!tial license examinations were administered at the Perry Nuclear Power Plant (PNPP) to seven Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) applicants and two Reactor Operator (RO) applicants during the week of August 25,1597. Two SRO applicants were previously licensed at the fac!!ity as ROs. One RO applicant failed the written
. examination and one SRO applicant failed the written, Job Performance Measures (JPMs), and dynamic simulator scenario examirations. All other applicants passed all portions of their examinations and were issued operator licenses.
. The PNPP training department participated in a pilot process !n which the initial license examination was developed by PNPP training department instructors and approved by the NRC in accordance with guidance prescribed by NUREG 1021," Operator Licensing Examiner Standards," Revision 7, and superseded in part by Interim Pilot Examination Guidance provided in Generic Letter (GL) 95-06, " Changes in the Operator Licensing Program." As part of the pilot program, the NRC administered the operating test and the licensee administered the written test.
All materials developed by the licensee for the examination were submitted to the NRC on or ahead of schedule. The submitted material was of high quality and with only a few exceptions, was used as written by the examiners The examiners observed that the SRO applicants taking this examination were not as well prepared as those at previous examinations performed at PNPP. The examiners noted that SRO applicants examined at previous PNPP examinations were all well prepared to take the examination. Some SRO applicants presented for this examination appeared well prepared for their examination but others were weak in their execution of SRO responsibilities. It was the opinion of the NRC Chief Examiner that, with the exception of a few applicants, the SRO command and control skills of the applicants were generally lower than those observed during previous examinations. This intormation is provided for feedback into the facility systematic approach to training (SAT) program, no written response is necessary.
During the administration of the examination a significant weakness was noted in all applicants in the areas of the feedwater system and the reactor pressure vessel level control system. Applicants missed questions in this area on the written examination, during JPM follow up questions, and during dynamic simulator scenario demonstrations.
Additional training in these areas may be warranted for applicants examined during this examination. This information is provided for feedback into the SAT program, no written response is necessary.

Examination Scone i Using NUREG-1021," Operator Licensing Examiner Standards," GL95-06," Changes'in- ' the Operator Licensing Program," and NUREG/BR-0122, " Examiner's Handbook for Developing Operation Licensing Written Examinations," examiners reviewed each written examination question. Each question was reviewed for comprehension, validity and level of difficulty, b.
Observations and Findinos NRC examiners made minor comments on approximately twenty of the one hundred and twenty five questions submitted by the licensee. This was substantially below the number and depth of comments returned to other facilities involved in the p!!at examination process. This was an indication of the high quality of the submitted examination.
The written examinations were challenging, discriminating, and written at the right - difficulty level. Suggestions were made by the NRC examiners to change some questions on the RO examination as they involved tasks normally assigned to SROs.
The examination author was able to provide lesson plan objectives demonstrating the facility's requirement for the ROs to be knowledgaaole on the examined material. An analysis of the examination grading revealed eleven questions m!: sed by both RO applicants and four question missed by more than 50% of the SRO applicants.
Enclosure 4, Written Examination Analysis, contairis the questions missed by ooth ROs - and more than 50% of the SROs.
An NRC examiner was in the examination room when the written examination was administered. The licensee's examination administrator conformed to all requirements for administering the written examination. All examination rules were read to the applicants and enforced by the examination administrator. When the written examination wLs completed one RO applicant approached the examination administrator and indicated that a reference, PEl-B13, RPV Control (Non-ATWS), was ' not in the reference materials at his table. The examination administrator checked the - reference material packages for each examination table and confirmed that the reference was at the applicant's table and was overlooked by the applicant.
Two applicants failed the written examination with scores of 76 (RO) and 77 (SRO). All other applicants passed the written examination with scores ranging from 81 to 94.
c.
Conclusions-The written examination provided by the training depariment proved to be a high quality evaluation tool for determining applicant competence. The training department has the capability of developing a challenging, discriminating $ written examination.

.. . . - - -- ~ . . . . 05.3 Administrative Job Performance Measures ' a.
Examination Scope Using NUREG 1021, Operator Licensing Examiner Standards, examiners reviewed each administrative Job Performance Measure (JPM). Each administrative JPM was reviewed for applicability, importance, and safety significance. The aggregate of the administrative JPMs was reviewed to ensure all required areas of the administrative JPM examination were repreNnted.
b.
QhsgIyations and Findings The office review of the submitted administrative JPMs indicated they met all NRC guidelines. The administrative JPMs were well planned and prepared.- No significant problems were encountered by NRC examiners while validating or administering the examination.
The appliccats were well prepared for the administrative JPM portion of the examination. No significant adverse comments were made by any of the examiners coaceming applicant performance co. the administrative JPMs.
c.
Conclusions The proposed administrative JPMs provided to tne NRC indicated creative thought and good preparation. The administrative JPMs used to examine the applicants proved to be a good evaluation tool for determining applicant competence. The applicants were well prepared for this portion of the examination. The licensee's training department has the capability of writing administrative JPMs that meet NRC examiner requirements.
05.4 Ooerating Job Performance Measures a.
Examination Scoce Using NUREG-1021, Ooerator Licensing Examiner Standards, examiners reviewed the operating JPMs. Each JPM was reviewed for applicability, importance, and safety significance. The aggregate of the JPMs was reviewed to ensure all required areas of the JPM examination were represented. JPM follow up questions were reviewed for applicability and to determine if they were considered direct look up or memory level questions.
b.
Observations and Findings The licensee submitted JPMs that met standards prescribed in NUREG-1021 and GL 95-06 for addressing the various types and numbers of functional safety systems, alternate path and shutdown plant requirements. Critical tasks were correctly identified within the JPMs.
- - . _
-- -. - ... - -. -. - -.. - - - -... -. ... -- - ' . Many JPM questions were considered direct look up questions by Ele NRC examiners, it was determined that facility tralners did not understand the correct definition of ? direct look up! questions. - NRC examiners provided guidance to the facility trainers who . promptly replaced many of the questions considered to be direct look up and changed - ' the status of other direct look up questions to closed reference questions.
A broad spectrum of individual weaknesses was detected during JPM administration.
The following syrtopsis of the weaknesses found is provided as input for the training _ depadment's SAY program, no response is required: _ Severe applicants were unable to correctly identify the loads supVed by the -* . RCIC g'and seal compressor. This was a JPM follow up question; no reference allowed.
- Several applicants were unable to correctly identify the RCIC system response to - an increasir g suppression pool water level when the RCIC system was sligned in the Condensate Storage Tank to Condensate Storage Tank mode (full flow test). This was a JPM follow up question; no reference allowed. All of the operators missing this question believed the rising water level would have no , effect on the RCIC system because.of the test lineup.
' Several applicants were unable to correctly explain tne plant response to a - failure of a Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) level detector when it was selected for feedwater level control. This was a JPM follow up question; no reference allowed.
Several applicants were unable to provide the location of the facility hydrogen - detectors used for post accident analysis. This was a JPM follow up question; no reference allowed.
None of the applicants were able to correctly calculate an Average Power Range - Monitor (APRM) thermal trip setpoint when provided with a specified core flow.
This was a JPM follow up question; reference allowed.
c.
Condusions Facility instructors presented a good package of JPMs that met all NRC requirements for use to examine the applicants except for the JPM follow up questions. Most JPM follow up questions did not meet the criteria for open reference questions until reworked or replaced. Although many individual weaknesses were apparent to the NRC examiners, in general, the operators were well prepared for the operating JPM portion of the examination. The facility's training department has the capability of writing operating JPMs that meet NRC examiner requirements.

+ 05.5 Dynamic Simulator Scenatios a.
Examination Scoce Using NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examiner Standards, examiners reviewed each dynamic simulator scenario. Each scenario was reviewed for content, applicability, and safety significarice.
b.
Observations and Findings The dynamic scenarios submitted by the licensee had the required number of malfunction events for each applicant. The initial conditions were different for each scenario and included low power scenarios. The submitted scenarios included equipment or instrument failures after the major transient had occurred.
The office review of the scenariw showed that the submitted scenarios needed only minor modifications to be acceptable for use as an NRC examination. Some events did not provide the opportunity for the NRC examiners to fully evaluate applicant skills, but by inserting minor changes such as changing the ramp rate for malfunction insertion, changing the order of the events, and replacing events, the examiners were able to ensure compliance with NUREG 1021 guidelines. The scenarios used in the examination provided a good opportunity for NRC examiners to evaluate applicant skills.
Individual candidate weaknesses were detected during simulator scenario administration. The following synopsis of the weaknesses found is provided as input for the training department's SAT program, no response is requ: red: Several applicants had difficulty with feedwater control after a manual start of the - motor driven feedwater pump. It was apparent they did not understand the relationship between individual pump controis, the startup level controller, and the master water level controller.
Some applicants had dif'iculty controlling the recirc flow control system after a - runback had occurred. The operators reported to the Unit Supervisor that they had lost control of the recirc flow control system controllers when, if fact, control was still available to the operator. They apparently did not understand the set points and time constants involved within the floT! controllers.
Three of three SRO applicants given an Anticipated Transient Without Scram - (ATWS) failed to promptly take action to insert control rods into the core. Each lowered reactor pressure vessel water level to reduce reactor power, but failed to execute the parallelleg of the PEl-B13 procedure (Emergency Operating Procedure) to inser' control rods (PEl-SPI 1.3, Manual Rod Insertion). In two cases the applicants retraced PEl-B13 and noted the failure to complete the parallelleg and ordered the correct actions. In one case the SRO applicant l failed to enter the parallel leg until prompted by another applicant.
. . Although a few instances of informal or incorrect communications were observed - during tha dynamic simulator scenarios, cominunications were considered to be good. The applicants appeared to conform to the facility policy of closed loop, three-way repeal back communications.
c.
Conclusions The dynamic simulator scenarios submitted by the facility instructors met all requirements of NUREG 1021 but needed some enhancement to improve the opportunity for applicants to demonstrate license skills and for NRC examincts to observe those skills. The facility training department has the capability of writing discriminating dynamic simulator scenarios.
Significant ap,nlicant weaknesses were fcand in the areas of feedwater level control, recirc flow control, and execution of PEl-B13, RPV Control (ATWS), in the area of manually inserting control rods.
05.6 East Examination Activities The licensee provided one post examination comment for the Reactor Operator written examination. There were four clarifications issued by the facility monitor while the written exai.lination was being administered.
Post Examination Comment Question #16 (RO) Which one of the following statements is correct concerning an uncoupled control rod during coupling checks? a.
Up to two attempts may be made to recouple the drive, b.
If attempts to recouple the rod sre unsuccessful, the rod should be disarmed at that position.
c.
Digital display of control rod position on the Rod Display Module will go blank if the rod is uncoupled.
d.
When the ROD UNCCUPLED indicating light has illuminated, it will not clear until the rod is successfully recoupled.
Answer: c.
Reference: Off-Normal Instruction (ONI)-C11-2, " Uncoupled Control Rod (Unit 1)"
. . ONI C112, section 1.3, states " Digital display of control rod position on the Rod , Display Module goes blank." This step provides the reference for distracter 'c.
" Distinctor *a.' is also correct because it is not incorrect to attempt to couple a control rod twice. ONl C112, section 4.3.0 states, *lf approved by the Shift Supervisor, repeat the attempt to recouple the control rod." The original intent of this distractor was to imply that a maximum of two attempts could be made; howt;ver, the distractor is not clear in this implication. Therefore, distractor *a" is also correct.
Facility Recommendatlun: Both distracter ' a" and "c" are correct; therefore, either should be accepted.
NRC resolution: The NRC agreed with the comment and amended the RO written examination answer key to allow answers a. and c. to be accepted as correct answers.
Examination Clarifications: All examination clarifications were discussed with the NRC examiner present at the examination prior to making the clarification. The examiner agreed with the need to make each of the clarifications.
RO 76/SRO 48 The weeds " reactor scram was not on Level 3, a level 3 signal did ne' occur," were added to the question. This infom1ation was necessary to disqualify distractors a. and d.
RO-83/SRO 55 Prior to the last sentence in the question, the following words were added,"An ATWS resulted in power stabilizing at 30%." In addition to this modification, distractor d. was eliminated. The modification was required to allow candidates to determine that the redundant reactivity control system had been initiated and the distractor was eliminated because it provided a second correct answer tha*. was trivial and not the answer solicited by the question.
SRO 80 Candidates were informed that the distractors were listed in the wrong order, i.e. *b-a d-c" We "a-b-c-d." Candidates were told to use the letter that occurs before the choices and not to re-order them. This was a typographical error.
SRO 94 The words, *Drywell hydrogen concentration can be maintained <90%" were added to the end of the question. This was necessary to make the correct answer totally correct in that the Plant Emergency Instruction step that was used to answer this

> 5.7 Simulator Fidelity The examiners observed no simulator modeling deficiencies during the examination administration. The lack of simulator deficiencies is docurranted in Enclosure 2, Simulator Fidelity Report.
V. Management Meetings t X1 Exit Meeting Summary The chief examiner presented the examination team's observations and findings to Members of the licensee's management on August 29,1997. The licensee acknowledged the findings presented. No proprietary information was identified during the examination or at the exit meeting.
