Question is based knowledge of how the ESF DG governor is controlled when the engine receives an emergency start signal due to a loss of power to its associated BUS. The distracter chosen indicates a lack of knowledge of how generator frequency changes with an adjustment using the GOV control switch. Training on the governor controls for an ESF DG are given in the lesson plan for ESF DG. LOT 201.39.

No changes to the exam are warranted.

RO #32 - 5 candidates chose distracter A; 1 candidate chose distracter D (correct answer is C).

Question is based on operator understanding of Component Cooling Water (CCW) heat exchanger controls and their effects on CCW temperatures.

LOT 21 NRC EXAM ANALYSIS - 10/9/2017 RO #53 - 4 candidates chose distracter B; 1 candidate chose distracter C (correct answer is A).

Question is based on off-normal procedural requirements during a fuel handling accident. The distracters chosen indicate a lack of knowledge for actions to take during a shutdown condition and fuel assemblies are being off-loaded from the reactor core when a fuel handling accident occurs in containment. Training on 0POP04-FH-0001, Fuel Handling Accident, is covered in off-normal procedure training. LOT 505.

No changes to the exam are warranted.

SRO #93 - 7 candidates chose distracter B; (correct answer is D).

Question is based knowledge of Technical Specifications (TS) associated with offsite power. The distracter chosen indicates a lack of knowledge of how to apply TS 3.8.1.1 with a loss of power to one of the switchyard BUSES. (North or South BUS) Seven out of eight SRO candidates missed this question, however, a review of the lesson plan on non-class 13.8 and 4.16KV power, LOT 201.31, and the lesson on TSs, LOT 503, indicates that the knowledge needed to answer the question is being given. In addition the ESF Power Availability Surveillance, 0PSP03-EA-0002, clearly states in the notes and pre-cautions the knowledge needed to answer the question. This surveillance is covered during time on shift.

No changes to the exam are warranted.
