QUAD CITES SIMULATOR FOUR YEAR CERTIFICATION REPORT MARCH,1995 I. Introduction The Quad Cities Simulator is used to conduct NRC Licensing Examinations and is therefore required to meet criteria established in 10CFR 55.45. A report identifying simulator testing status must be submitted to the commission every four years on the anniversary of the simulator certification. The r,.t.Td Cities Simulator was certified March 26, 1991.

The Quad Cities Simulator is owned and operated by Comed and Iowa Gas and Electric Companies for the training and testing of Quad Cities Nuclear Power Plant operators. Because of the near duplication between the two Quad Cities units, the simulator is considered a plant specific simulator for both Quad Cities Unit One and Unit Two, hereafter referred to as the Quad Cities Simulator. The Quad Cities Simulator models Quad Cities Unit one with Unit One being considered the reference plant. The simulator was constructed by Link-Miles Simulation Corporation and was declared ready for training in April 1990.

This report summarizes the simulator testing performed since the last certification report submitted to the NRC. A full report including test data for any certification year is available upon request. For the purpose of this report, a certification year starts on March 18 of a year and ends on March 18 of the following year.

2. Steady State Test )

The steady state test is divided into two parts, a one hour i stability test and full and interim power tests. The stability test verifies the computed values do not deviate more than two percent in an hours time. The power test compares simulator computed data to actual plant data over the power range. These test are performed annually.

3. Normal Operations Test Normal plant operations specified in ANSI /ANS-3.5 1985, section 3.1.1. are performed on the simulator as a test to ensure the procedures can be performed using only operator actions nornal to. the reference plant operation. The i evolutions consist of startups, shutdowns, power operations j and surveillance tests. These tests were performed over the four year certification period as indicated below:

a. For certification year 1991-1992, all Normal Operation tests were performed satisfactorily,

b. For certification year 1992-1993, Power Operation tests were performed satisfactorily. I

c. For certification year 1993-1994, Surveill.ance tests were .

performed satisfactorily.

d. For certification year 1994-1995, Plant shutdowns and  ;

selected Surveillance tests were performed 1 satisfactorily.  !

4. Transient Tests  !

Transient tests, as specified in ANSI /ANS-3.5 1985 Appendix  !

B, were performed, plotted and then evaluated to be l consistent to actual plant transients, UFSAR or best guess opinion. Transient tests were performed and evaluated l annually.

a. Certification year 1991-1992 tests were satisfactory.

b. Certification year 1992-1993 tests were satisfactory. ,

c. Certification year 1993-1994 tests were satisfactorv. i
