SUBJECT: SURRY POWER STATION - NRC EXAMINATION REPORT
05000280/2004-301 AND 05000281/2004-301
Dear Mr. Christian:
During the period February 23 - March 2, 2004, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
administered operating examinations to employees of your company who had applied for
licenses to operate the Surry Power Station. At the conclusion of the examination, the
examiners discussed the examination questions and preliminary findings with those members
of your staff identified in the enclosed report. The written examination was administered by
your staff on March 4, 2004.
All applicants passed both the written and operating examinations. There were three post
examination comments submitted. The NRC post examination comment resolutions are
included in this report as Enclosure 2.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter
and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public
Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs
document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site
at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Should you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact me at (404) 562-4638.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
ER 05000280/2004-301, 05000281/2004-301; 2/23-3/2/2004 and 3/4/2004; Surry Power
Station; Licensed Operator Examinations.
The NRC examiners conducted operator licensing initial examinations in accordance with the
guidance of NUREG-1021, Draft Revision 9, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for
Power Reactors. This examination implemented the operator licensing requirements identified
in 10 CFR §55.41, §55.43, and §55.45.
The NRC administered the operating examination February 23 - March 2, 2004. The Surry
Power Station training staff administered the written examination on March 4, 2004. The written
examination, job performance measures (JPMs) and one scenario were developed by the NRC.
The remaining scenarios (3) were developed by the Surry Power Station training staff from
outlines developed by the NRC. All applicants, four Reactor Operators (RO) and six Senior
Reactor Operators (SRO), passed both the operating and written examinations. All applicants
were issued operator licenses commensurate with the level of examination administered.
No significant issues were identified.

4. OTHER ACTIVITIES (OA)
4OA5 Operator Licensing Initial Examinations
a. Inspection Scope
The NRC developed the written examination, the NRC and licensee co-developed the
operating examination in accordance with the guidelines specified in NUREG-1021,
Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors, Draft Revision 9. The
NRC examination team reviewed the proposed examination. Examination changes
agreed upon between the NRC and the licensee were made according to NUREG-1021
and incorporated into the final version of the examination materials.
The examiners reviewed the licensees examination security measures while preparing
and administering the examinations to ensure examination security and integrity
complied with 10 CFR 55.49, Integrity of examinations and tests.
The examiners evaluated four Reactor Operator (RO) and six Senior Reactor Operator
(SRO) applicants who were being assessed under the guidelines specified in NUREG-
1021. The examiners administered the operating tests during the period February 23 -
March 2, 2004. Members of the Surry Power Station training staff administered the
written examination on March 4, 2004. The evaluations of the applicants and review of
documentation were performed to determine if the applicants, who applied for licensees
to operate the Surry Power Station, met the requirements specified in 10 CFR Part 55.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
The licensees operating examination submittal was within the range of acceptability
expected for a proposed examination. Four ROs and six SROs passed both the
operating and written examinations. The licensee submitted three post examination
comments concerning the written examination. The RO and SRO written examinations
with answers and examination references, and licensees post examination comments,
may be accessed in the ADAMS system (ADAMS Accession Numbers, ML040890634,
ML040890642, ML040890633).

NRC Resolutions to Surry Power Station Initial Post Exam Comments
1. Question #38
Facility Comment: Most trainees applied the Management standard for conservative
decision making. If reactor trip is imminent, then manually trip the reactor and perform
the immediate actions of E-0. The definition of IMMINENT is within one to two hours
and continuing deteriorating conditions exist.
DNOS-0101, Nuclear Safety and Conservative Decision Making, states Operators
faced with unexpected or uncertain conditions will place the plant in a safe condition and
will not hesitate, if necessary, to reduce power or trip the reactor.
The conditions provided in this question, one condensate pump running with feed pump
suction pressure at 105 psig and decreasing, can only result if the only running
condensate pump is also significantly degraded. This places the plant in a condition not
considered in the development of AP-21.00, Loss of Main Feedwater Flow.
The Supervisor of Shift Operations said that he would not hesitate to trip the reactor
given the conditions provided in the stem of the question.
We ran this scenario on the simulator and were unable to keep the unit online. It
resulted in a reactor trip 100% of the time.
6 of 10 trainees chose answer (B).
Recommendations: Based on the above information, accept (B) as an alternate correct
answer.
NRC Resolution: Recommendation accepted; the question has two correct answers (A
and B). The NRC concurs that it is reasonable and conservative for an operator to
manually trip the reactor with Main Feedwater pump suction pressure at 105 psig and
slowly lowering. The stem conditions created the sense that the system conditions were
continuing to degrade therefore, a natural assumption was that a reactor trip was
imminent.

2. Question #41
Facility Comment: Question has no correct answer. If the battery charger DC output
is lost, 1H1-1 cannot be the supply to Vital Bus 1/1A. When the battery charger is lost,
the inverter via the DC Bus, supplies Vital Bus 1/1A not 1H1-2 as stated in choice (D).
Recommendations: Based on the above information, recommend dropping this question
from the exam.
NRC Resolution: Recommendation not accepted. Facility comment that there is no
correct answer to this question is incorrect. Given the conditions of Battery Charger DC
Output for UPS 1A-1 reading zero amps, 1K-A8 (UPS SYSTEM TROUBLE) in alarm,
and 1K-A7 (BATT SYSTEM 1A TROUBLE) in alarm, there is one correct answer.
Answer (D) is correct for the following reasons:
DC Bus 1A voltage remaining stable indicates that Battery 1A is not supplying
the DC Bus; rather it is being supplied from a non-depleting source. UPS 1A-1 is
not the source for the DC Bus due to the UPS 1A-1 Battery Charger DC Output
indicating zero amps. The alternate source, UPS 1A-2, therefore, would be the
source supplying DC Bus 1A.
1K-A8 will annunciate when the static switch is in the alternate position. With the
static switch in the alternate position, the power supply to Vital Bus 1 and 1A
would be 1H1-2.
As stated in answer D, DC Bus 1A could be supplied by UPS 1A-2 as indicated
by DC Bus voltage remaining stable and Vital AC Buses 1 and 1A could be
supplied from 1H1-2. Thus, there is only one correct answer listed as an answer
choice.
A second possibility for supplying Vital Bus 1 and 1A would be from DC Bus 1A
through the inverter; however, this option is not listed as an answer.
Based on this analysis, answer D is the only correct answer based on the initial
conditions provided in the stem.

3. Question #66
Facility Comment: NOTE in 1-OP-VS-001 Page 17 of 51 states If the Containment
Purge Form allows greater than 3000 CFM but less than 20,000 CFM, 1-VS-MOV-
100D will be used to obtain the desired flow. Fine tuning of purge flow using 1-VS-
MOV-101 is allowed.
Step (m) on Page 17 states Adjust 1-VS-MOV-100D and/or 1-VS-MOV-101 until the
desired purge flow is indicated.
Since the stem of the question asked which valve is used to obtain the correct purge
flow rate, some trainees applied the NOTE above and chose to do the final throttling
with 1-VS-MOD-101 to obtain the final rate instead of continuing to throttle 1-VS-MOV-
100D.
4 of 10 trainees chose answer (C).
Recommendations: Based on the above information, accept (C) as an alternate correct
answer.
NRC Resolution: Recommendation not accepted. As stated in 1-OP-VS-001 (Page
17 of 51), fine tuning of flow rates is allowed using 1-VS-MOV-101. Answer choice (C)
states that 1-VS-MOV-101 should be throttled instead of 1-VS-MOV-100D due to the
low flow rate required by the Containment Purge Form. Answer choice (C) is incorrect
because 1-VS-MOV-101 is NOT throttled instead of 1-VS-MOV-100D; rather it could be
throttled in addition to 1-VS-MOV-100D. 1-VS-MOV-101 is not used due to the low flow
rate, 1-VS-MOV-101 is simply used for fine tuning when flow rates are high between
3,000 and 20,000 cfm. 1-OP-VS-001 (Page 42 of 51) NOTE prior to step 5.10.22
states, Physical limitations of 1-VS-MOV-101 will limit purge flow to approximately
3000 cfm for establishment of purge.
