Memorandum July 11, 2008 To: Mr. Mark Bates USNRC Sam Nunn Atlanta Federal Building 61 Forsythe St., S.W> Suite 23T85 Atlanta, Georgia 30303-8931 From: Walt Shura Dominion (North Anna Power Station) 1022 Haley Drive Mineral, Virginia 2311 7 Return of ES-201-3 Examination Security Agreement Forms

Dear Mark,

Enclosed please find page 1-3 ofES-201-3 Examination Security Forms. All signatures needed have been obtained. I might mention that page 3 contains both copied and original signatures. I could get page 3 resigned if required. Please advise.

I want to thank you and Bruno for your assistance in preparing the exam. Obviously, the results are not what ether of us wanted or expected, but that's not for the lack of trying. We will go forward with our root cause at North Anna and apply the lessons learned to our next exam.

Where possible, we will attempt to effect changes in the process - both from a utility and a regulatory perspective. Perhaps we will meet in Atlanta during the upcoming workshop on examination development.

Sincerely, Walt Shura Supervisor Nuclear Training North Anna Power Station

[Refer to Section 0 of ES-401 and Appendix B for additional information regarding each of the following concepts.]

1. Enter the level of knowledge (LOK) of each question as either (F)undamental or (H)igher cognitive level.

2. Enter the level of difficulty (LOO) of each question using a 1 - 5 (easy - difficult) rating scale (questions in the 2 - 4 range are acceptable).

3. Check the appropriate box if a psychometric flaw is identified:

The stem lacks sufficient focus to elicit the correct answer (e.g., unclear intent, more information is needed, or too much needless information).

The stem or distractors contain cues (i.e., clues, specific determiners, phrasing, length, etc).

The answer choices are a collection of unrelated true/false statements.

The distractors are not credible; single implausible distractors should be repaired, more than one is unacceptable.

One or more distractors is (are) partially correct (e.g., if the applicant can make unstated assumptions that are not contradicted by stem).

4. Check the appropriate box if a job content error is identified:

The question is not linked to the job requirements (i.e., the question has a valid KIA but, as written, is not operational in content).

The question requires the recall of knowledge that is too specific for the closed reference test mode (i.e., it is not required to be known from memory).

The question contains data with an unrealistic level of accuracy or inconsistent units (e.g., panel meter in percent with question in gallons).

The question requires reverse logic or application compared to the job requirements.

5. Check questions that are sampled for conformance with the approved KIA and those that are designated SRO-only (KIA and license level mismatches are unacceptable).

6. Based on the reviewer's judgment, is the question as written (U)nsatisfactory (requiring repair or replacement),

in need of (E}ditorial enhancement, or (S)atisfactory?

7. At a minimum, explain any "U" ratings (e.g., how the Appendix B psychometric attributes are not being met).

1. "c" is not credible because why would you state that rod motion is "allowed" in bank select and then say that you can ONLY use turbine load to match Tave and Tref, i.e., rod motion in bank select is not allowed?

2. Re-word the stem question to include "in accordance with the annunciator response procedure."

Suggestion: Re-work 1st part of each choice to ask for the effect on the lift/stationary/gripper coils. The second part of each choice should present the applicant with a choice of using rod motion in "Bank Select" or adjusting turbine load.

Suggested re-work:

Which ONE of the following describes how this failure will affect the control rod drive system, including the required action in accordance with the annunciator procedure?

A. The lift coils and movable gripper coils will both be de-energized.

Move the control bank in "Bank Select" to maintain Tave.

B. The lift coils will be de-energized and the movable gripper coils will be energized at reduced voltage.

Use manual turbine control to maintain Tave.

C. The lift coils and movable gripper coils will both be de-energized.

Move the control bank in "Bank Select" to maintain Tave.

D. The lift coils will be de-energized and the movable gripper coils will be energized at reduced voltage.

Use manual turbine control to maintain Tave.

FINAL RESOLUTION 5/29/08: Instead of gripper coils, the first part of each choice deals with whether rod motion is inhibited or not. The second part of each choice deals with temperature adjustment using either/or turbine load/ rods in bank select. Also re-worded stem question to require lAW procedure. Question is SAT.

1. There is no way for the applicant to determine which valve seat leakage (safety or PORV) is causing the abnormal PRT level, pressure, & temperature conditions provided in the stem. Instead, the question is testing the applicant's knowledge of the differences in available instrumentation for safeties vs PORVs and is not a direct hit on the KIA.

Suggestion for more closely matching KIA:

Present the applicant with temperature indications and acoustic monitor indications in the stem. This may require re-work of 2nd half of each answer choice.

2. Question is similar to SRO Q#79; however, the SRO question deals with the unit at 100 % power and has level and pressure stable. The PRT pressure in both questions is 14 psig though.

FINAL RESOLUTION 5/29/08: Revised stem to include that acoustic monitor indications are normal. This eliminates the safeties. Also added knowledge of alarm procedure for second part of "A" and "C". Question is SAT Page 3 of 37

1. The KIA is knowledge of the effect that a loss or malfunction of the PRT will have on the containment. The question asks for how a level transmitter calibration error will affect the available volume in the PRT should a PORV lift occurs.

2. "B'" and "0" are not plausible because the time to rupture will be affected regardless of whether the applicant correctly or incorrectly determines the available volume. How can the rupture time not be affected?

3. "A" is not plausible because the stem indicated that the level reading is lower than actual; how can there be more volume available?

LOD = 1 due to above com ments If need be, discuss changing KIA wi licensee.

1. Is it possible to change subcooling to 55F with no RCPs running and provide adverse containment parameters? This may add more credibility to the first part of "A" and "B".

2. The answer choices are worded such that the charging pump stopping is tied to "saturation", which may be correct; but the wording in the reference material refers specifically to not having to reinitiate SI flow due to a loss of subcooling margin (which mayor may not reach saturation).

(20 psia & 1E5 R/hr) - These parameters are not provided in the stem, so there is not much plausibility in the bleed and feed option based on SG.level. If values can be placed in the stem that would be close to the limits for adverse numbers, then the bleed and feed option may have more credibility.

1. "C" and "0" are not plausible (writing a work request is always right..and won't mitigate problem). Choices "A" and "B" are always more reasonable to enSlJre PORVs are closed. (Why would you ever NOT ensure the PORVs are closed?)

Also, "0" can be partially correct because it is never wrong to "refer" to a procedure.

2. Not SRO-only because choices also include responsive actions which an RO would be able to recognize; therefore, procedure selection is not required to answer the question. Basic event diagnosis is all that is needed to answer the question.

Suggest the following:

Which ONE of the following describes the status of the pressurizer relief tank and also identifies the required actions in accordance with the alarm response procedure?

a. ONLY the pressure is high (Some other plausible procedure that is beyond RO knowledge) (1-AP-16 is not plausible if PRT level is stable)

b. ONLY the pressure is high 1-0P-5.7, Operation of the Pressurizer Relief Tank

c. BOTH pressure and temperature are high (Some other plausible procedure that is beyond RO knowledge)

1. "A" and "C" are not plausible because an operator would never leave the bus dead (until the EOP network is exited) with offsite power available. .

2. "0" is not plausible (enter E2 faulted steam generator) since the stem states that SG pressures are all 1000 psig.

Suggestion: Make one of the SGs faulted. The correct protocol is still to go to E-1. This will make "0" more plausible.

What AOPs can be performed concurrently with the EOPs? Are there any that can NOT be performed concurrently with the EOPs?

1. AOP entry conditions is RO knowledge

2. Applicant may be able to deduce that "C" is correct from simply knowing that the pzr surge line is on the hot leg. (RO knowledge)

3. This question deals somewhat with EOP mitigation strategy since it is a LOCA (albeit during shutdown conditions);

RO's are responsible for knowledge of EOP mitigation strategy.
