  • AND RESOLUTION
          *As discursed with the licensee on February 23, 1989.

1 Comment Question C.04: Part a: The question is confusing as to which power level is intended - administrative limit or automatic interlock. Part b: The question does not state which temperatures - moderate or fuel. Resolution:

         ,Part a:         'amment partially accepted. Answer key changed to accept 1MW interlock for 1/2 credit.

Part b: Comment accepted. Part b deleted. Comment Question E.07: The training material is incorrect. Primery flow rate is 1500 gpm and isolation valve closing time is 10 seconds. Resolution: Comment accepted. Answer key changed. Comment Question E.08: For clarification, there is only one ventilation valve, not two. Resolution: Comment. accepted. Answer key changed. Comment Question G.04: The question solicits information contrary to operator training philosophy based on the campus radiation manual. Recommend question be deleted. Resolution: 1 Comment accepted.
