Exam Review Comments Following Validation NOTE: There was no ES

-401-9 form filled out because this exam was authored by the NRC. The following comments were made on the changes made by Grand Gulf following validation with the licensed operators. All the comments were resolved prior to making the exam final.

Question 4

- One could argue none of the distractors are correct since none of the listed conditions will "directly" result in a turbine trip and reactor scram. Level 8 is the scram and level 9 is the turbine trip.

Recommend

- Change stem to read "With the plant at full power, which of the following plant conditions-"?

Question 32

- The question asks if TS 3.5.2 is met. The stem does not provide information regarding the status of the other ECCS systems. Second, we don't expect the students to have the tech spec titles memorized by number.

Recommend

- Change the last line of the stem to read, "If all the other ECCS systems are operable, is TS 3.5.2, ECCS Shutdown, met?"

Question 41

- Edit. Change the first line of the stem to read, "The plant has experienced a transient and the following conditions currently exist:" Question 48

- The stem asks two questions but the distractors only provide one answer.

Recommend

- Change the stem to ask only one question (the one that matches the distractors).

Question 59 - Stem wording is awkward.

Recommend

- Change the stem to read "What is required before the RHR system will initiate in the containment spray mode when using the Manual CTMT Spray pushbutton?"

Question 70

- This question tests on TS below "the line" making it an SRO question.

Recommend

- Replace the question. Question 79

- We don't expect the applicants to have the various EOP graphs memorized.

Recommend

- Provide the RPVST curve as a reference.

Question 87

- This is an RO question since it is a systems question (i.e. the procedure selection is not required to correctly answer the question).

Recommendation

- Revise the question so the procedure selection is necessary to correctly answer the question. Question 92

- Distractors C(2) and D(2) don't make sense.

Recommendation

- Change distractor C(2) to match A(2) and change distractor D(2) to match B(2). Question 93

- This is another RO systems question.

Recommendation

- Change the latter part of the stem to read "The SRO should FIRST direct the crew actions in accordance with:

A. ARI 04-1-02-1H13-P870-6A-A5, FW HTR 6B LVL HI

-HI B. ONEP 05-1-02-1-1, Reactor Scram C. ONEP 05-1-02-V-5, Loss of Feedwater Heating D. One other procedure distractor
