SUMMARY OF GENERIC DEFICIENCIES FROM ORAL AND SIMULATOR EXAMS:

r:

. Minor deficiencies with no safety significance were noted in the following areas:

Communications Classification of events using the Emergency Plan SS/USS liason during emergencies Verification of ERG parameters 2.

SUMMARY OF GENERIC DEFICIENCIES NOTED FROM WRITTEN EXAMS:

RO Exam (2 Candidates)

,

-The following were areas of minor weakness:

Centrifugal Pump Operations Steam Dump Operation Dropped Rod Immediate Actions RCS Depressurization from RSSP SRO Exam (17 Candidates)

~The following were areas of minor weakness:

Worst Case Conditions for MSLB and Design Features which Limit Effects Indications and Automatic Action of EFW System T.S. Requirements / Bases for RHR System During Refueling Log Reviews by USS Dose Equivalent Iodine 3.

IMPROVEMENTS IN TRAINING PROGRAMS AS A RESULT OF PRIOR OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATIONS:

In response to comments from the December 1984 exam, additional emergency phones have been tied into the instructor's console providing more real-istic simulation.

4.

INTERFACE WITH PLANT STAFF DURING EXAM PERIOD:

' The simulator instructors continue to perform their liaison duties in an outstanding manner, greatly enhancing the examination process.

This allows last minute scenario modifications to examine new areas with little pause in the flow of the scenario.

The simulator malfunction list has a significant number of malfunctions with either no description or only a cursory description. These should be updatad. prior to the next exam in September.

SUMMARY OF NRC COMMENTS MADE AT EXIT INTERVIEW:

Generic deficiencies during oral / simulator exams were discussed. Training improvements and interface with plant staff were summarized as well.

Preliminary results of 15 candidates clearly passing and 4 candidates being marginal were presented.

5 candidates were identified as being clearly above average on their performance on the oral and simulator portions of the examination.

EXAMINATION REVIEW:

At the conclusion of the written examinations, the examiners met with the -

following licensee personnel to review the exam and answer keys to identify any inappropriate questions relative to plant specific design and to ensure that the questions will elicit the answers in the key and that they reflect the most current plant conditions.

-RO EXAM COMMENTS AND RESOLUTION:

_ Question 2.06B The start failure relay is also reset in addition to the _ answers provided 'on the key.

Reference Drawing was.provided at the exam review.

_ Question 3.048 The FWP discharge valves do not close on High S/G water level.

Reference _is Dwg. No. 9763-M-503582.

Question 3.09B

"Lo Lo S/G level" is appropriate also.

Referenc'e is FSAR, Table 15.0-6, Sheet 1.

Question 4.03A-

" Rapid drop in nuclear power" is an-additional answer. IAW procedure for dropped rod.

Answer changed to. include above phrase.

SRO EXAM COMMENTS AND RESOLUTION:

Question 6.038

_"0 TAT or Low Pressure Rx Trip" are acceptable.

Reference is FSAR, Table 15.0-6, Sheet 3.

Question 8.07 This question may _ be confusing in that Standing Order 83-004 requires the SS to. review the USS, A0, and two S/U ' Logs.

The turnover procedure (AQ10.003A) requires the SS to review the USS, Tagging, and Temporary ~ Modifications Log.

The reviews of AQ10.003A will be the accepted correct answers.

Question 8.08 Means of communicating may not match the answer given exactly.

In order that the candidates be evaluated on this area of the E-Plan that is not yet developed and. the appropriate equipment installed, discretion on the part of the examiner is required.

Parts B and C will be deleted as E

these procedures may change, however, parts A and D are still valid as these procedures are not expected to change.
