ATTACHMENT 2 OPERATOR LICENSE EXAMINATION COMMENTS VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY (DOMINION)
NORTH ANNA POWER STATION UNITS I AND 2
Post Exam Comments Simulator Scenario 4 Event number 5 (Letdown Leak)
Comment:
The requirement for entry into Tech Spec 3.6.1, Containment, due to a leak on the letdown line outside of containment, is incorrect.
Recommendation:
Facility recommends that the requirement for entry into T.S. 3.6.1 for inoperable containment be removed from the scenario.
Discussion:
The one hour action of T.S. 3.6.1 does not apply based on the leak was isolated by closing the inside containment isolation valve which prevents a release from occurring during an accident. T.S. 3.6.3 is the correct T.S. call for this failure based on inoperability of the outside containment isolation due to leak between the valve and containment. This is the position of the Supervisor of Nuclear Shift Operations (Senior License) and was concurred with through the licensing department.
Administrative JPM A.3 (Radiological Control)
Comment:
Either RWP Task may be selected for the work to be performed.
Recommendation:
Facility recommends that JPM step 1 not be critical and that the answer key should be changed to accept 2 answers for JPM step 2 depending on which RWP Task was chosen.
Discussion:
The JPM task is to determine the appropriate RWP Task and allowed stay time for locally operating the cold leg loop stop MOV. The initial conditions also stated that it will take 15 minutes to locally close the valve. Neither RWP Task would allow sufficient stay time to fully close the MOV but either RWP Task could have been used to perform the work. The dose rates at the MOV handwheel to be operated are $0 mR/hr. RWP Task 1 is for dose rates less than 100 mR/hr with a dose alarm of 10 mR and a dose rate alarm of 50 mR/hr.
RWP Task 2 is for dose rates greater than lOOmR/hr with a dose alarm of 20 mR and a dose rate alarm of 150 mR/hr. RWP Task 1 could be used with a change to the dose rate alarm that can be authorized by the HP supervisor in accordance with RP-AA-274 (Radiation Work Permits) step 5.16.5.d (attached). During administration of the JPM, multiple candidates asked questions concerning interaction with the HP supervisor.
JPM Step two would still be critical with two different answers based on which RWP task was selected. RWP Task 1 would have a stay time of 6 minutes. RWP Task 2 would have a stay time of 12 minutes.
Step two still has multiple critical elements needed to arrive at the correct answer:
- 1. Knowledge of equipment location. The cold leg stop was not labeled on the survey map
- 2. Ability to read a survey map
- 3. Ability to read and comply with an RWP. Candidate had to read RWP to determine they needed to leave the area at 80% of allotted dose.
- 4. Ability to calculate a stay time.
Revised JPM and answer key are attached.

RWP 16-2229-2 Critical Step IST[] UNSAT[]
Standards If RWP Task I is selected then use the following calculation:
Operator uses RWP to determine dose alarm is set at 10 mRem.
Operator determines from the RWP (Worker Instruction #4 that the Operator must place the plant in a safe condition and leave the area once 80% of the dose alarm setpoint is reached.
Operator determines that they must leave the area after l6mRem of dose has been achieved. (80%
- 10 mRem = 8 mRem)
Operator uses survey map to determine general area dose rate is 80 mR/hr.
Operator then divides 8 by 80 to obtain a stay time of 6 minutes
(.10 hrs).
If RWP Task 2 is selected then use the following calculation:
Operator uses RWP to determine dose alarm is set at 20 mRem.
Operator determines from the RWP (Worker Instruction #4) that the Operator must place the plant in a safe condition and leave the area once 80% of the dose alarm setpoint is reached.
Operator determines that they must leave the area after l6mRem of dose has been achieved. (80%
- 20 mRem = 16 mRem)
Operator uses survey map to determine general area dose rate is 80 mR/hr.
Operator then divides 16 by 80 to obtain a stay time of 12 minutes
(.20 hrs).

INFORMATION USE
Administrative JPM A.4 (PAR Update)
Comment:
Reporting of previously reported sectors on a PAR update is not critical.
Recommendation:
Facility recommends that the answer key be modified to make reporting of the previous affected sectors not critical.
Discussion:
The PAR JPM was administered as a time critical JPM. A post exam review has identified flaws in the manner in which the JPM was administered that adversely impacted candidate performance.
An Initial Condition of the JPM was that the TSC was not yet manned (implying that no turnover of SEM duties had occurred).
Another Initial Conditions of the JPM was EPIP 1.06, Protective Action Recommendations, was entered and a PAR was issued. The previously completed EPIP-1.06 and PAR paperwork are provided for your review; however the start time of the JPM began prior to the candidates performing a thorough review of the procedure and paperwork.
The JPM task initiating cue was perform EPIP-1.06, beginning at Step 11 (a marked up copy of an already in progress procedure).
Given the manner in which the JPM was administered the candidates were placed in the role of assuming SEM duties (the updated PAR to be given was message number three, one hour and 15 minutes following the first General Emergency declaration). We say placed in the role, because as previously stated, if they were the SEM from the onset of the event (i.e. Shift Manager who has not yet been relieved since the TSC is not manned) they would have full knowledge of all activities, communications, and conditions up to that point.
To assume the duties and responsibilities of the SEM a turnover is required.
NUREG-0654 requires that facilities have turnover processes in place. EPIP 1.01 Attachment 2 is the facility guidance that implements the NUREG requirement and is required to be completed prior to assuming the duties of the SEM. The candidates were placed in the awkward position of assuming a duty in a manner contrary to both their training and the procedures of the facility. The candidates spent a significant amount of time reviewing, getting up to speed with what had transpired because they realize the importance of accuracy in classifying, communicating, & reporting and wanted to make sure they thoroughly understood the situation at hand.
The candidates were told to start at step 11 of EPIP-1.06. This step loops you back to step 7.
By strict procedural compliance they check the box for Average Wind Direction Shifts To Any New Area(s) and go to Step 17. If the candidates were given time to review the previous steps performed (as would be the case during turnover in a real emergency) they would have reviewed the entire procedure and worked through the procedural difficulties to arrive at the step that requires previous sectors to be included.
A note before step 17 of EPIP-1.06 states: NOTE: A new PAR is only issued for wind shifts, based on the conditions below, in new affected sectors that have NOT been included in a previous PAR. CR1041252 was submitted to enhance the procedure.
RIS 2003-12 Clarification of NRC Guidance for Modifying PARS was reviewed. This RIS was issued based on a utility modified PAR that decreased the effectiveness of a PAR. This utility changed a previous PAR from evacuate to shelter. The updated PAR conflicted with the previous PAR. NAPS EPIP 1.06 has a caution that does not allow downgrading of previous PARS without consultation with the State. The critical step is to identify new sectors affected and make the correct recommendation for those sectors. The updated PAR did not modify the initial PAR provided for the omitted sectors.
The proposed answer key that includes these comments is attached.

Evaluate CR1041252s recommended changes to NAPS EPIP5 1.06 & 4.07 Detailed Assignment: Evaluate CR1041252s recommended changes to NAPS EPIP5 1.06 & 4.07: 1.
Change EPIP-1.06 step 12 from GO TO STEP 12 to GO TO STEP 21 apparent -
transposition error. 2. Change EPIP-1.06 and EPIP-4.07 Attachments 3, Report of Protective Action Recommendation, to make it clear that previous downwind sectors should be noted for a PAR changed due to a change in wind direction (reference EPIP-1.06 Step 17.f & EPIP-4.07 Attachment 1 Step 3 (RNO)).
Response: The first recommended change was to correct an apparent transposition error where NAPS EPIP-1.06 Step 12 directed the user to GO TO STEP 12. This error existed since Revision 11 became effective on 12/22/20 14. Comparison with Surrys EPIP-1.06 Revision 11 validated the statement in the parent condition report suggesting that the appropriate transition should have been to Step 21. This error was corrected by issuance of EPIP-1.06 Revision 12, which became effective on The second recommended change was to enhance EPIP-1.06 and EPIP-4.07 by modifying Attachments 3, Report of Protective Action Recommendation, to make it clear that previous downwind sectors should be noted for a PAR changed due to a change in wind direction. EPIP-1.06 Revision 12 refers to EPIP-4.07 for evaluation of wind shifts where previous revisions allowed this evaluation by either procedure. No change was made to EPIP-1.06 or EPIP-4.07 http ://pamsrpt.dominionnet.com/maximo/output? report=domCR_CRABundle.rptdesign... 7/14/2016
