3. Examination Review Meeting At the conclusion of the written examinations, the examiners provided Mr. Wendell Barror, with a copy of the written examination and answer key for review. The NRC Resolutions to-facility comments are listed below.

j a. SR0 Exam 1 Question NRC Resolution 1.01 Agree with the facility comment. Answer "b" will be accepted as a correct answer for full credit. 1.10 Disagree with the facility comment. Facility reference material provided only supports "a" as the correct answer. No change will be made.to the answer key. 1.18 Agree with the facility comment. No change will be made to the answer. key. 1.25 Agree with the facility comment. Facility's recommended factor will be accepted as one of the required three factors.

o l 2 2.08 Facility comment acknowledged. Note that the referenced learning objective is quite explicit. In the training manual it states: " Identify.the (5) five major sections of the RN system (Intake, Pumps, Main Supply, Hx, Main Discharge)." However, the recommended additional answers are either equivalent answers or subsets of the existing ) answer key and will be graded accordingly. 2.16 Agree with the facility comment. Answer number 2 will be broken up into 3 separate answers. The candidate will be required to list 3 of the possible 6 answers. 3.05 Agree with the facility comment. The answer key will be changed to TRUE.  ! 3.07 Agree with the facility comment. Automatic actuation logic and actuation relays will be deleted from the answer key. Additional changes to the answer key will be made to correct the inequality signs depicting the trip setpoints. 3.08 Facility comment acknowledged. Shell warming open bias is a form of " Bias Signal Voltage." The answer key will be changed to accept either answer for full credit. 3.10 Disagree with the facility, comment. For under-compensation, indicated power is greater than actual power. The magnitude of the indicated start-up rate (SUR) is lower than the magnitude of the actual SUR; however, it is conservative due to the fact that the sign is negative. Therefore, with

      . respect to reactor safety, over-compensation is " worse" than under-compensation.       Over-compensation can cause no electronic problems, but it is still worse than under-compensation due to the fact that the indicated power level is less than the actual . power level. No change will be made to the answer key.

3.12 Agree with the facility comment. The answer key will be changed to accept " Detects faults within slave cycler" as an additional correct answer. 3.14 Agree with the facility comment. However, in lieu of 82% and 78%, the answer will further be changed to accept 82.4% and 78.1% + or - p.5% respectively. 3.15 Agree with the facility comment. The answer key will be changed to read as follows: Interlocks on the LCC incoming breakers prevent closing both breakers together and prevent closing both feeders from the standby transformer at the.same time, o

1 Facility comment acknowledged. The answer key will be 3.18 modified to give credit - for the following additional answers: a.1 Rods will only drive-in until the derivative circuit times out.  ! a.2 Reactor will not trip, but Tave will remain low since l a R0D STOP (C-2) has occurred. 1 ! 3.20 Agree with the facility comment. The applicable portion of the answer key will be changed to read as follows:

b. All four (4) breakers will trip (RT "A" & "B" and BY "A" & "B").

I c. RT "A" and BY "B" will trip. I 3.22 Agree with the facility comment. Tref will not drop 3 F for this load rejection. However, since the status of the Tavg - Tref differential prior to the instrument failure is not provided, it is possible that a dump actuation could I occur. The answer key will be changed to also accept " Arm l and Dump" as a correct answer. , u i 4.01 Facility comment acknowledged. The existing answer key is i sufficient. Additional correct information regarding l procedure usage will not result in credit deduction 1 l 4.n2 Disagree with the facility comment. The reference material l provided (i.e., the procedure) does not have entry l conditions. However, it is clearly stated in the training I material (0P-CN-H0-EP1, p.16) that at least one 4160 volt essential AC bus is also required to enter EP/1/A/5000/01. No change will be made to the answer key. 4.03 Agree with the facility comment. The answer key will be l l changed to reflect the terminology used in the procedure and will read as follows: Manually trip the reactor Verify reactor tripped Verify turbine tripped , Verify 4160 V essential power busses energized 1 Check if SI is actuated 4.06 Disagree with the facility comment. The facility's training material (OP-CN-H0-CSF, p.14), which provides justification for this procedural step, gives the full basis for tripping the RCP. No change will be made to the answer key. i

s ~ 4 4.10 Agree with the facility comment. This is a typographical error in the examination. The answer key will be changed as the facility recommended. ,

                                                                                               )

4.14 Agree with the facility comment. This is a typographical  ; error in the examination. The answer key will be changed ' to read "90% of the Admin quarterly limit."  ! 4.22 Agree with the facility comment. The answer key will be changed to list 3 answers, and full credit will require 2 of the 3 answers. 4.23 Agree with the facility comment. The facility's recommended answer will be added to the answer key and full 1 credit will require 8 of the 9 answers. 4.24 Agree with the facility comment. The answer key will be changed to list 3 answers, and full credit will require 2 of the 3 answers.

5 8.07 Agree with the facility comment. The facility recommended j answer will be accepted as an additional correct answer. 8.09 Disagree with the facility comment. The question clearly- 1 states "all" power is lost, thus precluding .the situation , posed in the provided Technical Specification interpretation. ] No change will be made to the answer key.  ! 8.11.a Agree with the facility comment. The facility recommended answer will be accepted as an additional correct answer. 8.14 Facility comment acknowledged. The facility's recommended answer is equivalent to the answer key.

4. Exit Neting l

At the conclusion of the site visit the examiners met with representatives I of the plant staff to discuss the results of the examination. ) There were generic weaknesses noted during the oral examination. ] These areas of below normal performance included:

1. Candidate's lack of basic familiarity with personnel dosimetry and radiation exposure limits.
2. Candidate's failure to consistently ensure escort's log entries in and out vital areas.

The cooperation given to the examiners and the effort to ensure an i atmosphere in the control room conducive to oral examinations were noted and appreciated. i l The licensee did not identify as proprietary any of the naterial provided i l to or reviewed by the examiners. 1 1 1
