i J. L. Pellet, NRC ! J. E. Whittemore, NRC , i l 3. Examination Report l Performance results for individual candidates are not included in this report. This report is comprised of the sections listed below: I a. Written Examination Review Comment Resolution A copy of the facility's review comments is attached. Only comments

not accepted and incorporated into the examination will be addressed j in this section. If a comment is not addressed, it was accepted.

l Comments containing clarifying or subjective requests will not be j addressed. Each item is listed by section question number. 1 l 2.05 a/6.06 a: The question specifically asks for the radiation monitors so no confusion should have arisen as to whether it was addressing hydrogen monitors or radiation monitors. 3.06 b/6.07 b: Component Cooling Water and Safety Chilled Water were not accepted as per Chapter II-7, Introduction to ESF, Figure . ICD-8, and Turbine Trip was removed from the answer key for the same I reason. l 3.12: Comment requests that the entire question be dropped from the l examination. Part a. will be retained for 0.5 points and the remainder of the question will be removed from the examination. ! Section 3 will contain 23 points instead of 25, but will still count ! for 25% of the final grade. 4.11/7.06: Iodine spiking was not accepted because the question stated that the reactor had already been at 100% power and a spike l due to the power increase would have already passed.

b. . Exit' Meeting Summary
                              .The exit meeting was held on July.17,:1987,. to conclude.the site                      1 visit. The'following personnel were present:                                          l 1

i l 'NRC Licensee D. N. Graves, Examiner L. G.'Barnes-W. F. Smith, OSP G. L.. Bell .. M. A. Neimeyer  ? C. M. Rice d C. L. Turner 'l The following observations'were made' to the licensee; l i' (1) Escorted. access into and out 'of the 'fability was handled . smoothly. (2) The.following problems were noted on the simulator:.

                                                                                                                    ]
a. The SSII panel would sometimes not allow the operator to j acknowledge and silence the alarm, which created a distraction'to the operators.

! b. The'RM-11 locks 'up periodically for no apparent reason.

c. When both pressurizer spray valves fail open, the rate of primary pressure decrease appears extremely. slow.
d. One of the-initial conditions (IC-10) initialized in an unstable plant condition and the operators are constantly.
                                            'trying to stabilize the plant:from:the beginning of the scenario.

      .g 4                                              !

t (3) The following operational concerns were noted: ,

a. There does not appear to be a procedure for restoring site l power to a safeguards bus with the diestl generator j carrying the bus.  ;
b. Following a powers perturbation, each monitor on the RM-11  !

must be reset by the operator before proper indication can i be restored. Some of the operators were reluctant to take I the time to go through all the monitors to reset them, even when needed monitors were not useable due to not being reset,

c. Attempts to maraally trip the reactor should be attempted from more than one location in the control room if one i attempt at one location does not' function.

l

d. The crew members appeared reluctant to pass along }

information on plant conditions and events to the other crew members, including the supervisor.' In several  ! instances, this lack of communication allowed events to; ' i become more severe than they should have been. ] Facility personnel present at the exit stated that that they were left with the impression, from the last operator licensing exit meeting in October, 1986, that too much information passing between i the operators during the simulator examination would be grounds for failing the candidate (s). The chief examiner replied that that impression was wrong, and that the examination encourages an exchange of information during the simulator examination, with regard to keeping the crew members informed of all activities and events. If one or more candidate.g oppear to be "carryirig" other candidates, the examiners will take steps necessary to ensure that an evaluation of the other candidates' true abilities can be made. , The facility also stated that they believed the written examinations were performance-based and opemtionally-based and hoped that G ture examinations continue in that direction. Two items noted by the examiners and passed on to the Resident Inspectors were not mentioned at the exit meeting. Mr. Larry Barnes I of TU Electric was informed of these items via a telephone conversation with Mr. David Graves on August 5, 1987. They are listed below.

a. There is no method of making offsite notifications from the Remote Shutdown Panel. Once control is established locally following a control room evacuation, cctside communications can not be conveniently made.

Answer 2.04 a.2 1 A1 and 1 A2 may be powered from UT if >15% ! power. 3 & 4 order may be reversed dependent upon time requirements, because the D/G will come on the bus <10 seconds and backfeeding the MT will take >8 hours. . l l Question and Answer 2.04 b Question is misleading in that it asks for "the only 6.9 KV breaker that does not open automatically when i ! another source is paralleled to it". This is misleading in that both l the preferred and the alternate breakers will not auto open if the diesel generator is synchronized to the bus, and the diesel generator breaker will not auto open if either the preferred or alternate source is paralleled to it. Since the question asked for the "only" breaker that had this feature, maximum grader discreation should be used. , 1 l l

Answer 3.08 b. IR Permissive Defeat button is called SR Manual Reset.

REFERENCE:

CP SYS VOL 4 SEC lli-1 i Question and Answer 3.12 Request that this answer be dropped l from the examination for the following reasons:

1. The question requires the examinee to match the actual reactor trip breaker response to the trip initiator. NO response given in Column B reflects the actual response for b, c, or d. (See attached)
2. Initiator b is interlocked at CPSES to prevent occurence. (See attached)
3. Initiator e is not applicable at CPSES because there is no manual trip at the Remote Shutdown Panel. 1 l
4. Column B choices 1, 4, and 5 are identical in accordance with the I definitions given.
5. Terminology used throughout the question was unfamiliar and confusing (i.e. QMCB-A, QMCB-B, PSDA)
6. There was some confusion on the use of abbreviations in the question. "RTBs - reactor trip breakers", was apparently interpreted to mean all breakers (including bypass breakers )

by some, while it was interpreted to mean both RTBs (not

bypasses) by others.

1. Question refers to intervals and gives no reference as to what these invervals are associated.
2. Question is misleading in that it used terminology not used at at CPSES (heating range vs. POAH).
3. Answer key does not substantiate that interval two has decreased from a +13 DPM startup rate. ,
4. After calculating the SUR for the three intervals, interval 2 i was found to be different than the others. This by itself would not allow the operator to recognize that the reactor )

j had entered the heating range. J Question 5.17 The question is misleading by stating that more than one item in Column 2 may apply. This tends to lead the examinee to look for more than one answer.

a. Power decraases initially (0.25] due to the negative reactivity of the boron addition (0.25). The primary to secondary mismatch (0.25) causes Tave to decrease (0.25). The decrease in Tave inserts positive reactivity (0.25) and restores power to slighly lower than or the same as initial power (0.25).
b. Tave is determined by the amount of pump heat and the steam dump pressure setting (0.25] thus it does not change (0.25).

ANSWER 5.03 (1.00) During nat. cire, cooldown, bypass flow is minimal (0.25). Therefore, the i water in the upper head is decoupled from the cooldown of the RCS (0.25). When this occurs, water (a metal) in the upper head may stay hot enough to flash to steam when the RCS is depressurized, even though the bulk temperatures in the RCS are cool (0.5).

a. Power decreases initially [0.25] due to the negative reactivity of the boron addition (0.25). The primary to secondary mismatch [0.25]

causes Tave to decrease (0.25). The decrease in Tave inserts positive reactivity [0.251 and restores power to slightly lower than or the same as initial oower [0.25]. i

b. Tave is determined by the amount of pump heat and the' steam dump i pressure setting [0.25] thus it does not change [0.25]. After the initial transient, power decreases [0.25] (at a -1/3 DPM rate) to the multipiled source level [0.25).
