RE: NUREG 1021, ES-601 I

Mr. Lee H. Bettenhausen Chief. Operations Branch, DRS U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Region i 475 Allendale Road King of Prussia, PA 19406

REFERENCE:

Facility Operating License No. DPR 21 Docket No. 50-245 NRC Requalification Examination Summary

Dear Mr. Bettenhausen:

During the week of September 13, 1993, Licensed Operator Requalification Examinations were administered to fifteen Millstone Unit No.1 Licensed Operators and Senior Ucensed Operators. These examinations were conducted in accordance with the applicable sections of Revision 7 of NUREG 1021, Operator Licensing Examiner i

Standards.

Accordingly, the examinations were prepared, administered, and evaluated by both NRC and facility examiners.

i i

The security agreement is also forwarded as requested at the exit.

Preliminary results of the facility evaluations for all portions of the examination were provided to Mr. Herb Williams, NRC Chief Examiner, on September 17,1993. Based on our review of the exam grading, these results can be considered final. Attached is a summary of our grades.

An evaluation of the examination results were performed to identify strengths and weaknesses, both individual and crew, and to identify necessary remediation and enhancements to the MP1 Licensed Operator Requalification Program content. The following is a summary, by examination environment, of the evaluation:

)

SjlMULATOR EXAMINATIONS:

STRENGTHS:

Teamwork and crew interaction. Where appropriate, team members were involved in decision-making and shared, with each other, informat;on concerning event strategy and inter-watchstation operations. Individual team members operated within their pre-defined roles.

Diagnostics and analysis of off-normal events.

~.

WEAKNESSES:

None of the weaknesses listed below are considered of such significance that they required formal individual or crew remediation.

Where appropriate, increased emphasis will be placed on these items during simulator training sessions.

Procedure usage by one Reactor Operator (RO) during one scenario could be enhanced. He improperly controlled level and placed the sump pumps in OFF contrary to procedure guidance.

More caution must be exercised by crews regarding sending Plant Equipment Operators (PEO) into high radiation areas.

Better priorities could have been set on electrical plant restoration during the ATWS/LNP scenario.

Staff crew communications in one scenario was below expectations. The Shift Supervisor (SS) failed to keep all crew members informed of actions directed outside the control room.

WALKTHROUGH EXAMINATION The examinees demonstrated a high degree of proficiency and knowledge for the tasks examined.

No weaknesses were noted during the performance of the Job Performance Measures (JPMs).

I Several JPMs need to be strengthened regarding initiating or terminating cues. Those enhancements include:

JPM 114 - Respond to CONVEX's Request for An Emergency Generation Test t

Reduction (Faulted) - several examinees reduced load by 200 MWe not to 200 MWe.

i JPM 29 -

Supplying ECCS Suction Header from ESW Header - initial conditions must be strengthened to indicate ECCS pumps are presently aligned to CST.

JPM 14 -

Manual Start from Diesel Room - procedure addresses start of Diesel from engine control panel not local control panel. The task title should be -

changed to reflect procedural task.

JPM 34 -

Transferring Recirculation Pump from Loop Manual Control to Manual Control Local - cue must be changed to indicate hand position vice manual position.

)

1

- 3'-

WRITTEN EXAMINATION Examinee performance on the written examination was generally very good to excellent for twelve individuals. Only two examinees scored less than 90%.

Two questions were missed by a significant number of examinees (> 20%). Analysis of the questions indicate the ROs are weak using EOP flow charts and personnel are not aware which RPV level instruments are compensated for elevated drywell i

temperatures.

Very truly yours, NORTHEAST NUCLEAR ENERGY COMPANY I
