NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-361/98-302; 50-362/98-302

Dear Mr. Ray:

From November 15-20,1998, an operator licensing certification inspection was conducted at your San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Units 2 and 3, reactor facilities. The enclosed report presents the scope and results of that inspection.

The inspection included an evaluation of five applicants for reactor operator licenses and nine applicants for senior operator licenses. We determined that ten of the applicants satisfied the requirements of 10 CFR Part 55, and the appropriate licenses have been issued.

Your facility training and operations staff reviewed the written examinations after administration and recommended changes to 22 of the questions submitted for the reactor operator and.

senior operator examinations combined. Nearly all of the comments cited technical inaccuracies in the questions that made more than one choice correct or resulted in no correct choices. This represents a significant weakness in the technical review conducted prior to examination submittal. Additionally, in several cases, applicants responded with the same wrong answer to a number of questions. We concluded that this represented significant training deficiencies. This conclusion was further supported by some of the operational errors made by applicants.

Based on these technical review and training deficiencies, we request that you respond in writing to this report within 90 days of receipt of this letter. Your response should address the root causes for the lack of adequate technical review and the training deficiencies represented by the applicant performance and your proposed corrective actions.

. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its

/

, erdlosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR).

SUMMARY

San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Units 2 and 3 NRC Inspection Report 50-361/98-302; 50-362/98-302 i

NRC examiners evaluated the competency of nine senior operator applicants and five reactor

[

operator applicants for issuance of operating licenses at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating l

Stauon facility. The licensee developed the initial license examinations using NUREG-1021,

" Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," Interim Revision 8. The NRC examiners administered the operating tes' ts on November 15-19,1998. The facility licensee administered the initial written examinations to all applicants on November 20,1998.

Ooerations The large number of questions missed and the high number of common error responses by most applicants indicated training weaknesses. This conclusion was further i

supported by performance weaknesses observed during the operating examination (Sections 04.1 and O4.2).

The f acility licensee developed an adequate written and operating examination, f

However, the post-examination review of the written examination identified a large number of technicalinaccuracies. The large number of technicalinaccuracies indicated a significant weakness in the facility licensee's initial technical review (Section O5.1.2).

An inadvertent breach of examination security did not result in an examination compromise (Section 05.3).

Report Details l

Summarv of Plant Status The units operated at essentially 100 percent power for the duration of this inspection.

l. Operations 04 Operator Knowledge and Performance 04.1 initial Written Examination a.

Insoection Scope On November 20,1998, the facility licensee proctored the administration of the written i

examination to nine senior operator license applicants and five reactor operator license applicants. The facility licensee provided post-examination comments (Attachment 3) following the administration of the written examination. The chief examiner reviewed the comments for technical adequacy. The chief examiner reviewed the written examination grading on December 2,1998.

b.

Observations and Findinas Three of five reactor operators and six of eight senior reactor operator applicants passed the written examination. The written examination was waived for one senior reactor operator applicant who had passed the written examination on a prior licensing examination. Reactor operator applicant scores ranged from 72.6 to 85.3 percent with an average of 78.7 percent. Senior reactor operator applicant scores ranged from 63.8 to 85.1 percent with an average of 79.8 percent. The overall written examination average was 79.4 percent.

The following questions were missed by at least one half of the applicants. Questions common to both examinations are shown with the number from the reactor operator examination first.

Common questions: 1/1,6/7,11/13, 14/18*,16/21*,24/27*,28/29*,42/39*,58/52*,

65/58*,78/74*,81/79*, 85/84*,86/85*,94/94*,98/99*

Reactor Operator only: 45*,49*,57,63*,64,88*,

Senior Operator only: 22*,32*,57*,78*,87 Most app!; cants gave the same incorrect answers to the above questions marked with an asterisk (*) plus common question 59/53, and senior operator question 15. The knowledge deficiencies fell roughly equally into two broad categories - systems and t

l

=

procedures. Of the system knowledge based errors, about two thirds related to logic or control circuit performance. During the pre-examination review, the chief examiner expressed concern to the facility licensee about the number of control logic questions and whether references should be provided for some of them. Licensee staff responded that the tested areas were required knowledge.

c.

Conclusions The large number of questions missed and the high number of common error responses by most applicants indicated training weaknesses.

O4.2 initial Operatina Test a.

Insoection Scope The examination team administered the various portions of the operating test to the 14 applicants on November 15-19,1998. Each applicant participated in at least two dynamic simulator scenarios and received a walkthrough test, which consisted of ten system tasks together with followup questions for each system. Additionally, each applicant was tested on five subjects in four administrative areas with a combination of I

administrative tasks and questions.

b.

Observations and Findinas All applicants passed the operating examination.

The examiners observed consistently good three-way communications and supervision of control panel activities during the dynamic simulator and dynamic walkthrough portions of the operating test.

During Simulator Scenario 2, simultaneous steam generator tube rupture and failed open steam generator safety valve malfunctions occurred on the same steam generator.

In one crew, no applicants observed the abnormal cooldown caused by the failed open safety valve and, therefore, did not diagnose and respond to the unmonitored radioactive release. During the same scenario, only one of five crews communicated to management or support personnel any precautions or concerns regarding the radiological conditions impacting recovery efforts.

There were three instances in which applicants read or operated the wrong radiation monitors in response to system tasks or scenario events. The nature of the errors was similar, and the examiners concluded that instrument label placement contributed to the errors. The instrument labels were positioned below the instruments for a small number of radiation monitors. Virtually all other instruments and controls in the control room had the label: ps5;iioned above the instrument.

c.

Conclusions All applicants passed the operating examinations but exhibited some knowledge and ability weaknesses. This performance further supported that training weaknesses existed.

05 Operator Training and Qualification 05.1 Initial Licensina Examination Develooment The licensee developed the initial licensing examination in accordance with guidance provided in NUREG-1021," Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," Interim Revision 8, and additional guidance provided by the chief examiner.

05.1.1 Examination Outline The facility licensee submitted the initial examination outline on September 2,1998.

The chief examiner reviewed the submittal against the requirements of NUREG-1021, Interim Revision 8. The examination outlines satisfied the requirements of the examination standards with regard to breadth, depth, ar.d scope.

O5.1.2 Ednination Packaae a.

Inspection Scoce The facility licensee submitted the completed draft examination package by October 5,1998. The chief examiner and peer reviewers reviewed the formal submittal against the requirements of NUREG-1021, interim Revision 8. An onsite validation of the operating examination was conducted during the period November 4-6,1998.

b.

Observations and Findinos The reviewer directed that 18 of 125 written examination questions be revised or replaced as a result of being assessed as discriminating at too high or too low a level.

The reviewer provided enhancement comments on an additional 25 questions. The reviewer commented on several questiens related to control systems logic as possibly being too difficult to answer without a refvence; however, the reviewer left the decision with the facility licensee to propose the use of specific references.

Approximately 50 percent of the prescripted questions developed for Parts A and B of the operating test had to be revised or replaced for various deficiencies including low discrimination, direct look-up, and wrong focus. Overall, the walkthrough portion was assessed as marginally adequate because there was at least one acceptable prescripted question per task.

The reviewer identified two system tasks in one of the walkthrough test that tested the same operator ability and directed that one be replaced. Both tasks required the l

operator to parallel electrical generating sources (one for the main turbine generator and one for an emergency diesel generator). During the onsite validation of the operating examination, the chief examiner identified that two of the simulator malfunctions were 1

l

also included as system tasks in the walkthrough part of the operating examination and directed that the scenario malfunctions be replaced. Apart from this minor task duplication, the reviewer determined that the simulator scenarios were of good quality.

The facility licensee provided a total of 22 post-examination comments (see ) on the written examination recommending question deletion and acceptance of additional answers. Nearly all of the comments addressed technical inaccuracies. The chief examiner accepted all the facility licensee post-examination comments except the following:

Senior Operator Comment 5 - The facility licensee recommended deleting the question on the basis that the allowed maximum value was a pressurizer level of 57 percent, which was not one of the choices. The chief examiner rejected this recommendation because the reference cited required that pressurizer level must be less than 900 ft, which equated to 57 percent. Therefore, Choice C (53 percent) remained as the only correct answer since it was the highest value below 57 percent.

Senior / Reactor Operator Comment 16/11 - The facility licensee recommended accepting Choice B as an additional correct enswer based on the possible assumption that condenser backpressure did not continue to increase above the last reported value. The chief examiner rejected this recommendation based on the procedural requirement to take action if the condenser backpressure increased to equal to or greater than 3.5 inches of mercury. Therefore, taking no action until condenser backpressure increased to 4.5 inches of mercury (Choice B) was not acceptable.

c.

Conclusions The facility licensee developed an adequate written and operating examination that had i

job performance measure prescripted questions of marginal quality. However, the post-examination review of the written examination identified a large number of technical inaccuracies. The large number of technicalinaccuracies indicated a significant weakness in the facility licensee's initial technical review.

O5.2 Simulation Facility Performance The examiners observed simulator performance with regard to fidelity during the examination validation and administration. The simulation facility supported the examination administration well. The examiners observed no problems.

05.3 Examination Security During examination administration, the examination material was maintained in a locked room to which only the examiners and limited members of the training staff,in the security agreement, had keys.

On Tuesday, November 17,1998, between 5:30 a.m. and 6 a.m., a site security guard opened the examination material room with a master key to permit the cleaning staff to remove trash. The cleaning staff left the door to the room slightly ajar, but not open

i enough to permit observing the contents of the room. The examiners arrived at about f

6:30 a.m. and found the door ajar. The examination material did not appear to have been disturbed. Oni one license applicant had arrived onsite by that time. The

/

applicant was interviewed, and he stated that he had gone directly to the applicant's sequestering room upon arrival. Members of the training staff had noted the applicant's i

arrival and had not seen him anywhere near the examination material roorn. The security guard and cleaning individual were added to the security agreement. There were no discernable improvement in the performance of any applicant, nor other indication of any applicant having obtained knowledge of the examination content following the incident. The chief examiner determined that examination material security had been inadvertently breached but that no examination compromise had occurred.

V. Management Meetings X1 Exit Meeting Summary The examiners presented partial inspection results to members of the licensee i

management at the conclusion of the onsite inspection on November 19,1998. After the grading of the written examinations and analysis of the results, the chief examiner held a final exit with the licensee telephonically on December 18,1998. The licensee acknowledged the findings presented.

The licensee did not identify as proprietary any information or materials examined during the inspection.

I 9.0 kcP OPERATION I

9.1 With at least one RCP operating, reverse flow will be present in the idle loop.

lD 9.2 The loss of RCP heat will affect cooldown rate. Consequently, Tcold i

should be maintained 2125'F to prevent entering the restrictive heatup and cooldown limitations that apply when s120*F.

1 9.3 When securing RCPs, it may be necessary to reduce PIR heater output due i

to the reduction of PZR Spray Valve bypass flow.

9.4 Due to insufficient Pressurizer heater capacity, it may be necessary to secure all RCPs and main spray prior to initiating Auxiliary Spray.

Otherwise, loss of MPSH for the RCPs could occur.

(Ref. 2.3.17) 9.5 Pressurizer insurge may occur when securing the last RCP. This is caused due to the lower RCS flow across the core. As Core Exit Temperature rises, the RCS will swell into the Pressurizer. Adjusting letiown flow will help minimize this insurge.

9.6 Indicated Tcold will initially rapidly lower in any loop where SDC is injecting, if the RCP operating in that loop is stopped or when the last RCP is stopped. This is due to cooler SDCS injection water flowing over the loop Tcold temperature element.

r 9.7 If any RCPS are operating, then the Tcold associated with an operating RCP should be used for RCS temperature monitoring.

9.8 WhentherearenoRCPsoperating,thenTR-0351A(T351X),SDCCombined Outlet Temperature, should be used for Teold temperature monitoring.

9.9

,ff RCPs are running, Ili1H one RCP shall remain in service until completing RCS boration to Hode 5, or refueling concentration and other forced circulation dependent parameters are met (e.g., hydrogen, i

peroxide,etc.).

9.10 When the last RCP is stopped, then RCS Thot indications (T351Y and CETs) will begin to rise due to the increased time coolant is in the Core region (i.e., no RCP forced circulation). Consequently, SDCS flowrate should be adjusted to maintain RCS Tcold TR-0351A (T351X) at the desired temperature.

The generation of the Control Element Assembly, CEA, deviation alarm is a multi component process. The Reed Switch Position Trnaamitters, RSPT's, actually sense the CEA's position. The Control Element Assembly C+ %r, CEAC, uses the input from the RSPT and sends a signal to the alarm. Both --+;-wnts are n=w to generate a deviatwo alarm.

"B"is also correct in that HPSI throttle /stop criteria will NOT be met because of the unavailability of the S/G as stated in the stem (step FS-6 a.1 requires operating S/g with an ADV operating), and continuing to inject water into the RCS will increase pressure also leading to PTS event.

NUCLEAR ORGAN!ZATION INTEGRATED OPERATING INSTRUCTION S023-5-1.8 UNITS 2 AND 3 REv!SION 9 PAGE 86 0F 91 ATTACHMENT 13 9.o keP OPteATI6N 9.1 With at least one RCP operating, reverse flow will be present in the idle loop.

lD 9.2 The loss of RCP heat will affect cooldown rate. Consequently, Tcold should be maintained zl25'F to prevent entering the restrictive heatup and cooldown limitations that apply when s120'F.

9.3 When securing RCPs, it may be necessary to reduce PZR heater output due to the reduction of PZR Spray Valve bypass flow.

~

9.4 Due to insufficient Pressurizer heater capacity, it m&y be necessary to secure all RCP5 and main spray prior to initiating Auxiliary spray.

l Otherwise. loss of NPSH for the RCPs could occur.

(Ref. 2.3.17) 9.5 Pressurizer insurge may occur when securing the last RCP. This is caused due to the lower RCS flow across the core. As Core Exit Temperature rises, the RCS will swell into the Pressurizer. Adjusting letdown flow will help minimize this insurge.

~

9.6 Indicated Tcold will initially rapidly lower in any loop where SDC is injecting, if the RCP operating in that loop is stopped or when the 1ast RCP is stopped. This is due to cooler SDCS injection water flowing over the loop Tcold temperature element.

r 9.7 If any RCPs are operating, then the Tcold associated with an operating RCP should be used for RCS temperature monitoring.

9.8 When there are no RCPs operating, then TR-0351A (T351X), SDC Combined outlet Temperature, should be used for Teold temperature monitoring.

9.9 TE RCPs are running, IER one RCP shall remain in service until completing RCS boration to Mode 5, or refueling concentration and other j

i forced circulation dependent parameters are met (e.g., hydrogen, f\\

peroxide,etc.).

9.10 When the last RCP is stopped, then RCS Thot indications (T351Y and

- CETs) will begin to rise due to the increased time coolant is in the Core region (i.e., no RCP forced circulation). Consequently, SDCS flowrate should be adjusted to maintain RCS Tcold TR-0351A (T351X) at the desired temperature.

l SRO Examination Question 30 l

The design basis for adding the steam generator delta p trip was based on steam line or feed line break (harsh l

environment) inside containment accompanied by a loss of offsite power. The steam generator delta p signal used for a reactor trip due to a sheared RCP shaA is not related to the loss of offsite power. This makes the answer A incormet.

Each steam generator 2(3)E088 and 2(3)E089 has an RCS four channel measurement of differential pressure measured across the primary side, which is indicative of RCS Flow. This function was originally added to the RPS to provide a qualified means of tripping the reactor for a SLB or FWLB inside containment accompanied by a loss of offsite power, since not all of the LDNBR signal inputs (i.e., RCPSSSS) were qualified to function in the harsh environment created by those accidents.2se.nas uro.zar Another suhtantive reason for adding this function was to provide better protection against the sheared shaft event, whose importance in the safety analysis of design basis events had elevated since the original plant analyses was performed. The shearing of a RCP shaft was not considered a design basis event in the initial 3410 MWt reactor design, since it was not required by Revision 1 of R.G. 1.70. However, Revision 2 of R.G.1.70 requires that this event be considered in the preparation of the FSAR.

Additionally, analyses performed demonstrated that acceptable consequences cannot be demonstrated without providing some sort 'of protective action, and that this event has about the same probability of occurrence as the seized shaft event. The protection offered by the CPCs for this event could be cogromised if the RCP shaft were to shear above the RCPSS sensors. The low flow trip function utilizing a variable setpoint based on steam generator primary differential pressure was selected as the optimum design to mitigate this event, since it does not depend on the CPCs, and could be developed, installed, and meet licensing schedules.""

Th'e PPS provides a channel trip when the RCS flow-produced differential pressure falls below the setpoint. A reactor trip then follows on a 2-out-of-4 basis. This trip function is presently l

credited to help mitigate the consequences of a sheared RCP shaft i

accident, or a two-pump or four-pump coast down event, and is therefore classified as a safety function per 2.1 (iii). See Table.

B-12. Applicable Modes are 1 and 2.

This trip function has a variable setpoint feature that causes the 4

differential pressure setpoint to track below the measured differential pressure by a pre-determined increment. The tracking rate of the setpoint is rate-limited, in that it can decrease only at a pre-selected maximum rate, and only to a pre-selected minimum value

(" floor"). Should the signal level fall below the setpoint level

l COMMENT #9 SRO Examination Question 43 (RO46) 6 Answer B is correct based on the strictest interpretation ofimmediately before and after a trip. Immediately before the trip, S/G level exceeded 85% causing a High Level Override, HLO, signal to be applied to the main and bypass i

feed regulating valves causing both to close. The valves both stay closed until level decreases below 85% at which time the HLO signal clears and the valves go to either the Reactor Tripped merride, RTO, position or to the position set by the demand from the feed water regulating control system. With a reactor trip, an RTO signal is sent which as soon as the HLO condition clears seconds aAer the trip due to normal shrink of water levels, the RTO signal is applied and the bypass valve opens to 50%, answer C.
