., Approved by: Ilmud/ dill /M SldB7 Sf J. Colli 6s, Deputy Director Date Division of Reactor Projects Summary: The NRC administered written requalification examinations to two

'

operators and eight senior operators out of 18 licensed operators at this facility. This examination was conducted in response to a substantiated alle-gation that facility administered written requalification examinations were not properly proctored (NRC Inspection Report No. 50-54/86-02, unresolved item 86-02-02). The present examination results indicate a generic weakness in the licensee's requalification training program in the area of principles and

theory of reactor operation.

Facility Attendees W. Ruzicka, Operations Manager S. Lapinski Examination Review:

At the conclusion of the written examination a brief review was conducted by members of the licensee's staf The examiner indicated that two changes to the examination were made during its administration and answered questions regarding the examination content. No resolutions of facility concerns was made onsit The facility submitted written com-ments on the examination within the five day period allowed (Attachment 3)

and the NRC resolved each of these (Attachment 4) before final grading was complete . Analysis of Results The high Section H failure rate indicates a generic weakness in the principles and theory of reactor operatio The following specific ,

weaknesses were noted:

.

' -*

-3 Operators were generally unable to discuss why the maximum Kexcess value for the pool must be less than' for the stall in order to meet the basis of the specificatio Operators could not predict the effect of a pool temperature increase on indicated and actual reactor powe Operators were generally unable to calculate the reactivity effect of Xenon given initial reactivity and initial / final count rate informatio Some operators were unable to correctly interpret the meaning of an

"inaccurately low reading" on a commonly used instrumen Some operators had difficulty distinguishing between the terms production (of an isotope) and quantity (of an isotope) Conclusions The facility requalification training program requires upgrading in the area of principles ard theory of reactor operation.

NRC RULES AND GUIDELINES FOR LICENSE EXAMINATIONS 1 ?

During 'the administration of this examination the following rules apply: Cheating on the e::ami nati on means an automatic denia1 of your app 1ication and coul d resul t in more severe penalties. Restroom trips are to be limited and only one candidate at a time may leav You must avoid all contacts with anyone outside the examination room to avoid even-the appearance or possibility of cheating. Use black ink or dark pencil goly to facilitate legible reproductions. Print your name in the blank provided on the cover sheet of the examination. Fill in the date on the cover sheet of the e;: ami n at i on (if necessary). Use only the paper provided for answers. Print your name in the upper rioht-hand corner of the first page of each section of the answer sheet. Consecutively number each answer sheet, write "End of Category __" as appropriate, start each category on a new page, write gnly gn goe side of the paper, and write "Last Page" on the last answer sheet.
