'The Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company ATTN: 'Mr. 0 avid:Igyarto Training Manager Perry Nuclear Power Plant 10 Center Road

. Perry, OH: 44081:

Dear Mr. 'Igyarto:

Thank you.for again inviting Region III to participate in the semi-annual, meetings'of the Midwest Nuclear Training Association.

I believe the exchange of. information at these meetings is very beneficial.

J n going over the April 27, 1990 meeting, I realized that I erred on a response l

I to a question. - An individual asked whether questions on Part A (static simulator) of the_ written exam dealing:with procedures (e.g., "In accordance with station procedures, what : actions would you take if....?") were appropriate.

I

' answered that as long_ as the individual had to. synthesize data from the simulator that procedure related questions were acceptable. While questions dealing with.

. integrated plant. operations may require reference to procedures, my answer-was.

incorrect and conflicted with information I provided earlier in the meeting.

t To clear up any confusion.in this area, the-following is a discussion of what is appropriate for questions associated with Parts A and B of the written 1

examination.'

Part A'is designed to place the operator in his/her operational environment and evaluate his/her knowledge of plant systems, integrated plant operations, and-instrumentation and control systems.

Recognition of Technical Specification.

(TS): Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCO) entry and the operator's ability to determine and/or predict the effects of postulated events are

.al.so appropriate areas for evaluation.

In addition, operationally oriented-theory is valid and the use of facility charts / curves is encouraged.

It should be noted that systems oriented questions couched in operating / emergency / abnormal. procedures, e.g., "while implementing procedure

, instrument / component fails. What is the expected response of

?" are acceptable.

}

Part B-is; distinct from Part A in that the operator is presented with hypothetical circumstances including details of relevant parameters from which the operator must determine the appropriate procedural selection and implementation..These circumstances will include emergency, abnormal, r

normal and administrative procedure implementation as well as Technical Specifications and the Emergency Plan. The operator will be evaluated on the interpretation and/or use of procedural direction, guidance and information.
