FACILITY COMMENT:

! Transient period -- even though key is a direct quote from the lesson plan, it still does not directly answer the question. Credit should be given to any logical explanation of transient period, i.e., the rapid increase in neutron l flux imediately after rod withdrawal due to prompt neutrons (or before delayed neutrons are produced). ( RESOLUTION:  ; i . l Agree with coment. Credit will be given for any answer which deals with prompt neutrons or the rate of reactivity addition. ' ] r i QUESTION 1.11 i FACILITY COPNENT: i . Answer key was wrong in calc. (should have been 36002 instead of 36003 ). ! RESOLUTION: i { Agree with coment. Answer key had typing error in single step of calculation j but answer was correct. QUESTION 1.12 i l Answer key corrected even though no coment received. Answer changed from 345 sec. to 310.7 sec. QUESTION 2.01 I FACILITY COMMENT: , The FCV physically will not close all the way (approximately 10% open). Do  ; ! not take off for this answer. (Ref.: Chapter 8, Systems Manual.) , i !

QUESTION 2.03 FACILITY COMENT: Also accept that RPT is the only trip that will also trip open the 4A & B

breakers. (Ref.
Chapter 5, Recirc.)

. RESOLUTION: 1 J Agree with comment. Credit will be given for any reasonable answer. QUESTION 2.04 i FACILITY COMENT: Question should be deleted - Double jeopardy question 4.11 asks for RWCU isolations. RESOLUTION: i j Disagree with comment. Although questions are similar each asks different j things. Question remains unchanged. QUESTION 2.05 FACILITY COMMENT: i Also accept WR, VP, RCIC, and MSIV isolations as potential answers - Systems l Manual 49-27. i RESOLUTION: i 4 j Comment confusing. Comment was neither accepted nor denied. All candidates answered question correctly, and clarification of comment was not requested. QUESTION 2.06 FACILITY COMMENT: l Question asks for 6 of 7 automatic trips. " Manual" was listed as an automatic

trip. Is a " Manual" trip an automatic trip? Also, 3 of the trips are j electrical protective relay trips. The operator has no direct control over i what is going to cause an electrical protective device to trip. He knows i there are breaker trips, but shouldn't be tasked with knowing each individual protective device trip. The question really should have asked for 3 trips

! excluding the manual trip and electrical protective trips. ! Question should be graded to accept any 5 correct answers. Also, since a ! confusion factor was added, points should not be deducted because of a wrong guess on what that 7th auto trip would be. 2

i RESOLUTION: Disagree with comment. Question asked for the design trips of the feed pump. Although the operator may or may not be able to change or control a protective trip he should be aware of the signals which will trip a piece of equipment i under his control. Six out of seven trips were asked for because " Manual" is not an automatic trip. However, since your reference material called it an i automatic trip it was listed as such. Credit was given for " Manual" only

;          because the reference material states it as in automatic trip.

QUESTION 2.07 , FACILITY COMENT: l Add 9., Loss of Leak Detection Power System Descrip. 49-14. RESOLUTION: l Agree with comment. Credit will be given if " Loss of Leak Detection Power" was given as an answer. QUESTION 2.08 FACILITY COMENT: 1 i See comments for answer key returned to T. Lang. Also consider Local Manual l closure.as opposed to Remote Manual. l l RESOLUTION: ! Agree with comment. Will accept any reasonable answer. QUESTION 2.08 b. FACILITY COMENT:

RESOLUTION: Agree with comment in regards to loss of power; however, disagree with comment regarding accepting any assumed condition. Will not take credit off.if answer does not include loss of power to logic channel. QUESTION 3.04-l FACILITY COMMENT: [ First of all, this question references the Systems Manual, Chapter 43 - DC Systems - there is no basis for the questions or the answers in this lesson plan. {- a.

One charger carryirg both unit divisional batteries (both are in

                             " float" then). These are all " methods" of charging batteries,
b. First of all, there is no basis in our lesson plans, procedures, J

surveillances for this question and answer. Point 1 procedures do not address putting chargers in parallel

equalize operation.

I i Point 2 - There is not a reference in our procedures or lesson plans which even mention the " rectifiers" in the battery chargers as limiting components.  ! Unless this question is deleted, give credit for any answer that deals with procedures, etc. , above, or other " reasonable" responses. 1 RESOLUTION: Agree with comment in regards to accepting other answers which came from other reasonable interpretation. Credit will be given for other interpretations of j " methods" of charging. The basis for question is that there is a D.C. system and its operation should be understood. 4 QUESTION 3.05 c. i FACILITY COMMENT: f Also accept Tech Spec numbers for SDV rod block and scram - t el.' 765' 5 1/4" Rod Block el.' 767' 5 1/4" Scram RESOLUTION:

QUESTION 3.06 l FACILITY COMMENT

See T. Lang answer key for comments. i RESOLUTION: i Comment only rephrased answer key. Credit will be given as stated. l-5 l

t r . . t QUESTION 3.07 FACILITY COMMENT:

a. Type of valve (i.e., pneumatic 3-way valve) should not be required 4

for credit. It was not asked for. Credit should be given for any answer which explains that Service Water Flow through the Stator i Cooling Heat Exchanger is controlled to maintain temperature.

b. Type of valve (i.e., pneumatically operated butterfly valve) should not be required for credit. It was not asked for. Credit should be given for any answer which explains that pressure is supplied by the Stator Cooling Pumps, and that a pressure control valve maintains

! pressure. 4 RESOLUTION: i Agree with comments. Additional information was in answer key only for clarification, answer was quoted from reference material. i QUESTION 3.08 i i FACILITY COMMENT: i '

a. Answer key is wrong. Should be I and IV instead of I and II!
c. We do not and cannot operate in the Regions II and III, where operation is not permitted. The 90 sec. answer is mentioned in the lesson plans, j but it is hardly a key point. The 90 sec. appears to have come from a

, generic generator manual. In regions II and III, the generator is l motorized. Our generator is protected by a reverse power trip which will ! automatically trip off the generator after a short time delay on a ! reverse power condition. Delete question 3.08 c. j RESOLUTION: i a. Agree with comment. Answer key changed to reflect grading.

c. Deleted from test. Section value dropped by 0.5 points.

QUESTION 3.09 a. FACILITY COMMENT: Also accept - The worth of control rods at the 100% rod line. and Imperfect mixing (Systems Manual 10-5,10-6). RESOLUTION: Will accept " Worth of Control Rod" but will not accept imperfect mixing. 6

1 l l QUESTION 4.02 1 - FACILITY COMMENT: l l Our operators are trained to operate with conservatism. The important point of this question should be aimed at "Does the operator understand that when a component is placed to PTL is it considered inop?" - not "what is the one existing approved exception to this rule?" - which is what the question is i asking for. This question should be deleted because knowing this one ! exception is hardly worth 8% of this exam section. The existing question and answer key ask for two conditions when there is i really only one condition - when an approved procedure exists which has been i approved IAW Tech Specs. At the present time, there happens to be only one example that has been analyzed and approved in this fashion - the Diesel Fire Pumps. ! The only other potential time that systems are put into " manual" or "PTL" without.immediate regard for automatic operability requirements is under emergency conditions (LGAs) when General precaution #6 allows the operator to place an ECCS component in the MANUAL mode if at least two independent indications confirm "misoperation in the automatic mode" or " adequate core cooling is assured" - LGA Gen. Precautions, j Also, LAP 1600-2 allows taking systems out of normal operational lineup in i order to 1) " prevent injury to personnel," 2) minimize " releases offsite,"

3) prevent " damage to equipment" pg. 5, LAP 1600-2.

l If question not deleted - consider above possibilities. f RESOLUTION: 4 Disagree with comment. An operator should know that placing a piece of equipment in PTL will make that equipment inoperable. If the facility places exceptions to the condition then the operator should know exception l as well as the rule. QUESTION 4.03 i I FACILITY COMMENT: Also accept the new position " Station Manager" which was recently created i in an organizational change. l RESOLUTION: i Agree with comment. Will accept Station Manger as a correct answer. 3 l 7 i l

Comment only rephrased answer key. Will accept either answer. f QUESTION 4.11  ; I , Will accept SBLC initiation'as a correct answer.  ! l I QUESTION 4.12  ; FACILITY COMENT:

Gone are the days when an Instrument Tech can request an NSO to change the
mode switch position to test an interlock. If this was to be done today,

! multiple reviews of this action by SR0s, onsite review personnel and Tech Spec  ! experts (Op. Engineer, Shift Engineer, SCRE) would have reviewed and approved i r r r 8 l ~ .- . .- - - - - . . . . . - . - - . - - _ - _ - - . . _ - . . . - - - . . . . -

this action using the Tech Spec. With no spec to reference this question, it is not really applicable for an SR0 much less an R0 candidate. If this action were really to be done, the following reviews would be done:

1. A special test procedure or an LIS or LTS would need to be written i

and approved by onsite review.

2. The Shift Supervisor would have to approve the test to be done.
3. The SCRE would have to approve the action, since it affects safety-related components.
4. A massive research effort would have been completed since potential actual ESF actuations would need to be jumpered to avoid an unnecessary
            " red phone" notification to the NRC.
5. The NSO would be instructed to take the action by his supervisor and would probably demand that the supervisor justify exactly what would i happen and why.

This question is hardly a Reactor Operator level question. The question deals with a " footnote" to a table of Operational Conditions contained in the definitions section of Tech. Specs. NUREG 1021, page 4 of 4 of ES-402 states that the "... candidate is not expected to memorize the exact details, numbers, and surveillance requirements contained therein." This statement was related ~ to the Tech Specs and their bases. Also, in Generic Letter 82-13 from l D. G. Eisenhut, dated June 17, 1982, stated, "...that Tech Spec questions concentrate on understanding of the bases, general knowledge of what actions are required immediately (within one hour) and why, and what systems have Tech Spec limits and why." As this question does not comply with these guidelines, the question is an unfair test question and should be thrown out. RESOLUTION: 1 ! Question deleted. Section point vclue changed to reflect change. l 1 l 9

4 , ATTACHMENT B  : RESOLUTION OF COMMENTS TO THE LASALLE SRO EXAM OF 5/20/85 i

!                           QUESTION 5.02 i                            FACILITY COMENT:

! b. The question does not state as to when during the transient the change i in fuel pin centerline temperature should be evaluated. For a

 ;                                            depressurization transient such as lowering of the Pressure Set, fuel i                                              centerline temperature will initially decrease due to power drop caused by increased voiding. Subsequently, power will increase as EHC responds to decreased reactor pressure. As such, either increase or decrease should be considered as acceptable answers.
 ;                          c.               Question wording is incorrect, and thus misleading for the answer i                                             desired. The question should have said, "... exceeded DNB," instead                                                        i i                                            of reaching DNB. DNB, or more correctly, OTB, is defined in the LaSalle Thermal Hydraulics Lesson Plan (74LPSDL, page 9) as "...when a                                                             !
temperature swing (on the cladding surface) of 25 F is detected." These
 .                                            swings will also cause corresponding increases and decreases in fuel pin centerline temperature. Therefore, for the wording used in the question, i                                              either increase or decrease, or remains the same should be acceptable.

l l RESOLUTION: l l b. Even if the fuel centerline temperature first decreased and then j increased, it would stabilize at a lower temperature so decrease is i the correct answer. No change to answer key.

.                           c.               As an element reaches DNB the first response of centerline fuel l                                             temperature to the steam layer on the clad would be a temperature i                                              increase.         No change to answer key.

QUESTION 5.03 , FACILITY COMENT: l j a. LGP 3-1 does not give specific guidance for soak consideration when interrupting ramp rates. Neither does Lesson Plan 74 LPSOL. LGP 3-1, i Power Changes, on page 5 tells the operator: , j "If it is necessary to interrupt the power ramp or soak for

,                                                      a load reduction, the unit may be returned to a higher power level, as recommended by the Nuclear Engineer."

In addition, LGP 3-1 on page 5 also states, "After terminating the load increase, a soak time of 12 hours at the new power level may be required for the fuel to be pre-conditioned at that power level." , r r_ - _ , _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

         "Back-fitting" pre-conditioned envelopes based on previous power ramps during the previous 12 hours is an interpretation of PCIOMR guidelines based on considerable control room experience and in accordance with Nuclear Engineer recommendations. In this light and based on the guidance provided in LGP 3-1, an acceptable alternative answer would be one where the student stated a more conservative pre-conditioned level (such as 11.0 kw/ft) was in effect.
b. This question did not offer a correct answer. The load drop was to 12.0 kw/ft and the question asks for the time to return power to 13.0 kw/ft at 0.1 kw/ft/hr. The correct answer would be 10 hours which is not part of the answers listed.

RESOLUTION:

a. It is felt that a SR0 should have a good knowledge of pre-conditioning and how it is accomplished. No change to the answer key.
b. Agree with comment. Examinees were told to put their answer down if no answer was correct so either number 3 or 10 hours will be given credit.

QUESTION 5.09 b. FACILITY COMMENT: The question asked only why the reactivity that must be added to achieve prompt critical conditions varies with core life. This is due to the change in Beta fraction over core life. The question does not ask for why Beta fraction changes and thus should not be required for full credit. RESOLUTION: The answer key is felt to be an adequate response to " explain why." Anything less will only receive partial credit. No change to answer key. QUESTION 5.11 a. FACILITY COMMENT: Loss of backpressure portion of answers should not be required for full credit. A turbine-driven reactor feedwater pump could experience "run out" due to a controller failure causing turbine speed to increase drastically. This "run-out" condition is not directly caused by a " loss of backpressure"; therefore, the loss of backpressure should not be required for full credit. Any answer stating that system / pump flow exceeds design considerations should be acceptable. Other potential adverse consequences of pump run-out exist other thar ir.ator electrical damage. Some of these include cavitation, loss of pump c30 ling, and coupling failure. Attached are pages from a Westinghouse PWR document that describes these possibilities. Therefore, these answers should be counted as acceptable alternative answers to damage to motor windings. 2

RESOLUTION: Agree. Answer key changed to reflect this. QUESTION 6.01 a. FAC LITY COMMENT: The question asked does not deal with problems associated with having too high of a water level in the downcomer. Instead, the question only asks why we have vacuum reliefs. Therefore, the only answer that should be necessary for full credit is to "... prevent drawing water up into the downcomer as the exhaust condenses from a previous relief." Grading of this question should reflect this. RESOLUTION: The answer key is felt to be an adequate response to the question. Anything less will only receive partial credit. No change to answer key. QUESTION 6.02 FACILITY COMMENT:

,     Slow closure of the MSIVs during " test" and normal operation is performed by i      slowing bleeding air pressure off the operating piston and allows spring tension ONLY to close the valve. For this reason, a or c should be acceptable answers. 

Reference:

Main Steam L.P., pages 33-34.- l RESOLUTION: ,. Comment not accepted. Normal operation is considered to be with the control switch for opening or closing the valve. No mention is made in procedures about using the test switch for closing. Answer stays as is. I QUESTION 6.05 FACILITY COMMENT: l l Answer "b" is also acceptable as the turbine speed is controlled during normal startup by using the M/A station /EAP in MANUAL greater than 2000 RPM.

Reference:

LOP-FW-04, Step F.9. ! Also for answer "d", the use of the solenoid number "SV-7" causes confusion i and is a needless application of detail. The question was intended to ask l how handjack operation effects FAP control of the turbine. By listing the l solenoid number (which is not used in procedure or panel I.D.) to identify the i handjack could confuse the student. As to whether this solenoid must be energized or de-energized has little or no impact on an operator's ability to safely operate the plant. Grading of this question must consider the confusion and irrelevance of this question. l 3

RESOLUTION:

The term startup is normally used to mean for the beginning or in this case

.! zero speed. Therefore, answer d.is the correct answer and no change to i answer key. The use of the solenoid number came right out of the lesson plans ! and was used to reduce confusion. ! QUESTION 6.06 . FACILITY COMMENT: i .

          'Also should accept the~ voltage regulator and governor as separate required
auxiliary systems for this question. ,
         ' RESOLUTION:

Agree. Answer key changed. , ! QUESTION 6.07 i j FACILITY COMENT: i These are not the only high speed permissives. The following should also be counted: l j a. 4 Breaker closed , 4 b. Suction and discharged valve closed , c. M/A station in MANUAL 4 d. Any other RR pump trip signal clear

In addition, 2 of the answer in the key contain multiple interlocks which j should be counted separately:

I a. FCV position and 30% feedwater are separate interlocks-2

b. For RPT this can be initiated bv Turbine Control Valve fast closure j or Turbine stop valve closure and should be accepted as separate answers.

QUESTION 6.08

FACILITY COMMENT
a. Should also accept charging header pressure as an alternate answer. The  !

only time it does not come into play is during scram time testing when the HCU is intentionally isolated from the charging header. ! b. Answer #3 should' be basically the same as answer #2. LaSalle lesson plans for CRD nechanics and hydraulics do not include the information .

listed in the answer key. LaSalle Lesson FTin, Chapter 7, page 29 does state
"S. Normal scram (accumulator plus reactor pressure).

Normal scrams are accomplished using a combination 4 of accumulator and reactor pressures (accumulator pressure at the beginning of the stroke and accumulator i plus reactor pressure once the accumulator pressure i decays for reactor pressure)." I RESOLUTION: i a. Charging water pressure will be accepted in place of accumulator pressure j but not in place of vessel water. l b.

QUESTION 8.07 FACILITY COMMENTS: The question here deals with a " footnote" to a table of Operational Conditions contained in the definitions section of Tech Specs. NUREG 1021, page 4 of 4 of ES-402 states that the "... candidate is not expected to memorize the exact details, numbers, and surveillance requirements contained therein." This statement was related to the Tech Specs and their bases. Also in Generic Letter 82-13 from D. G. Eisenhut dated June 17, 1982 stated, "...that Tech , Spec questions concentrate on understanding of the bases, general knowledge l of what actions are required immediately (within one hour) and why, and what 8

systems have Tech Spec limits and why." As this question does not comply with these guidelines, the question is an unfair test question, and should be thrown out. RESOLUTION: Agree. Question deleted.

RESOLUTION: Comment accepted. Answer by modified. QUESTION 0.09 FACILITY COMMENT: Second half of the answer is not asked for by the question and should not be required for full credit. The question as a whole is very confusing and does not make it clear what answer is being solicited. As such the test weight is a reasonable answer but the fuel shipping cask is not. This confusion is compounded by the use of l the term " storage area" which implies the fuel storage racks and may mislead i the candidate to search for a non-existent second' weight limit. Also the l critical "L" path limits the travel of the cask and prevents it from traveling ! over the spent fuel racks. RESOLUTION: ^ First part of the comment is accepted and answer key changed.

CNSWER M.05 (3.50) o) More cooling is required in higher powered bundles. When the two phase flow is increased in a bundle there is more resistance to flow. This tends to reduce the flow in the nigher powered bundles and increase the flow in the lower powered bundles. The orifices in the foal support pieces have a larger pressure drop than the fuel, and therefore any change in pressure drop across the fuel results in insignificant change to the core flow pattern.

ANSWER 0.01 (4.00) Local boiling would occur at a pool outl'et temperature of approximately 150 degrees F. The resulting turbulence

   .ould knock loose crud and greatly increase pool activity.

At higher temperatures the cation resin would break down. This would release activity back into the pool. A later effect would be the release of sulphates which would lead to dis-solution of crud from fuel assemblies and increased activity in the pool. In addition, airborne activity would increase because of more evaporation and because radioactive iodine and noble gases would come out of solution rapidly.
