FACILITY COMMENTS /NRC RESOLUTIONS NOTE: Facility comments were submitted on a copy of an exam key,provided for this use. This key-is attached.

1.4 Comment

Part 1.4.b is a double jeopardy question; Resolution: Comment not' accepted. Answer key eliminates possibility-of double jeopardy application in grading.

1.7 Comment

Correct TYPO error. Change." takes always takes" to "always takes".

Resolution: . Comment accepted. Answer key corrected.

1.8 Comment

Part 1.8.C is not applicable to SONGS'I since the facility does not have variable speed pumps.

Resolution: ' Comment not accepted. Facility equipment has no' bearing.

on this academic question. Candidates should associate pump speed with system flow and effects on NPSH.

1.10 Comment: Correct TYPO error. Change point value from 0.5 to 1.0 for applicable Sections 1.10a and 1.10b.

Resolution: Comment accepted. Answer key corrected.

2.6 Comment

The trip setpoint (1500 PSIG) is not specifically asked for by the question, therefore, should not. be required for full credit by the answer key.

Resolution: Comment accepted.- The answer key was modified such that it is clear that a specific number is not necessary for full credit, as long as the answer provided establishes' the knowledge level required.

2.7 Comment

The facility does not consider a responding alarm to be an " automatic'. function". Also, alarms given in answer key don't'ref1'ct e the information in actual training references.

Resolution: Comment accepted. The answer key was modified to reflect'the specific reference requested by the facility.

The facility was also informed of general inconsistencies throughout the references provided for this exam.

2 l

3.1 Comment

(1) We are concerned.that the candidates will not

. consider " Total Instrumentation" when addressing the subcooling monitor, due to logic channel separation.

(2) The reference given in the answer key is not appropriate for this question.

Resolution: (1) Comment not accepted. The question clearly states " Total Instrumentation" and is consistent with the training references provided.

(2) Comment accepted. TYPO in answer key corrected.

. 3.2 Commenti Reference stated in answer key is not appropriate for this question.

Resolution: Comment accepted. Same as 2.7.

3.3 Commest

Terminology used for specific values are not clear. The

- meaning of "immediate" RCP trip is confusing.

' Resolution: Comment not accepted. The question accurately reflects the reference provided.

3.5 Comment

The' point break down is not consistent between question parts.

Resolution: Comment not accepted. Points assigned are appropriate for R0 knowledge level. The answer key is designed to reflect the entire scope of knowledge required.

Verbatum compliance to the answer key is not necessary as icng as the correct intent of the subject area is expreesed.

3.6 Comment

The references provided are not appropriate for this question.

Resolution: Comment not accepted. References were appropriate for distinguishing exactly what kind of instruments used at the facility; however, reference'to " Westinghouse-Thermal-Hydraulic Principles and Applications to Pressurized Water Reactors" was added to the key to accommodate theory aspects of this question.

3.9. Comment

Clarify terminology concerning rod position indication by inserting (digital).

Resolution: Comment accepted. Answer key modified accordingly.

4.2 Comment

. Facility procedures and system descriptions do not

, provide consistent information addressing this subject, 7

therefore, candidates could provide various answers.

Resolution: Comment not accepted. Same as 3.3.

,4.3' Comment: Part'4.3.b is not appropriate for an RO since at SONGS 1, he would not make this decision.

Resolution: Comment accepted. Answer key was adjusted to delete ~

part 4.3.b, however, over-all question point value will remain the same.

4.4 Comment

Correct part 4.4.b TYPO in answer key to read "200*F" vice 200*F per hour.

Resolution: Comment accepted. Answer key modified accordingly.

4.5 Comment

Question is not performanced based. The operator does -

not have to know RCP restart limits verbatum.

Resolution: Comment not accepted. The operator should be familiar with RCP starting duty requirements. Again, verbatum answer key compliance is not required for

, full credit, as long as intent of answer is met.

4.7 Comment

Part 4.7.a is an open-ended question in that the candidate is required to specify 8 items for full credit' from memory.

Resolution: Comment not accepted. Full credit will be given if intent of answer is met.

4.10 Comment: Point assignment not appropriate for question.

Resolution: Comment not accepted. Point value within acceptable range for question.

General Comment:

The RO exams over-all point structure was too high.

The facility would prefer more questions at a lower per question point structure.

Resolution: Comment not accepted. Point structure will remain as is for this exam. The point structure is appropriate, considering R0 knowledge level and time to respond to associated questions.

Source Range Nuclear Instrumentation detector?

(b) How is Gamma flux compensated for in the source (1.0) range instrument?

(c) What inputs to the Reactor Protection and Control (1.0)

System are provided by the Source Range Nuclear Instrument Channels?

(a) The SRM detector is a BF3 gas filled chamber.

Thermal neutrons are absorbed by boron-10 atoms in the gas . These atoms subsequently disintegrate into Li7, emitting a high energy alpha partical This Alpha partical causes ionization within the gas that is collected by the chamber cathode / anode circuitry via applied voltage .

The chamber voltage is in the PROPORTIONAL range,therefore,the output event pulse AMPLITUDE is proportional to the magnitude of the ionizing event. The number of pulses is proportional to the number of neutrons reacting with the BF3 gas.

(b) Since the amolitude of the pulses from the detector are proportional to the magnitude of the ionizing event, the pulses from neutron interactions (alpha ionizations) are larger than pulses from gamma ionizations. A pulse height discriminator (gate circuit) in the log level amplifier rejects pulses below a set range (approximately 3.5 Mev) in magnitude, eliminating the gamma pulses from the remaining circuitry.

(c) Rod stop signal (at2DPM .)

Source Range Nuclear Instrumentation detector?

(b) How is Gamma flux compensated for in the source (1.0) range instrument? .

(c) What inputs to the Reactor Protection and Control (0.5)

System are provided by the Source Range Nuclear Instrument Channels?

(a) The SRM detector is a BF3 gas filled chamber.

Thermal neutrons are absorbed by boron-10 atoms in the gas . These atoms subsequently disintegrate into Li7, emitting a high energy alpha p ar t i r.a1 This Alpha p ar t i cal causes ionization within the gas that is collected by the enamber cathode / anode cl.rcuitry via applied voltage .

The ch ambe r voltage is in the PROPORTIONAL range,therefore,the output event pulse AMPLITUDE is proportional to the magnitude of the ionizing event. The number of pulses is proportional to the number of neutrons reacting with the BF3 gas.

(b) Since the amplitude of the pulses from the detector are proportional to the magnitude of the ionizing event, the pulses from neutron interactions (alpha ionizations) are larger than pulses from gamma ionizations. A pulse height discriminator (gate circuit) in the log level amplifier rejects pulses below a set range (approximately 3.5 Mev) in magnitude, eliminating the gamma pulses from the remaining circuitry.
