Attachment I The answer to question 40 (below) should be different than what is listed in the written examination answer key.

QUESTION: 040 (1.OO)

With Unit 2 in Mode 1 on the 60% rod line, Operators raise recirculation flow with both pumps to 80% of rated drive flow.

Assume that the APRM Flow Biased scram signal is set to the analytical value The APRM Flow Biased scram set point is now . . .

A. 108.0%.

B. 112.2%

C. 115.9%.

D. 125.0%

The key provided with the examination lists the answer as " B , but the correct answer should be "C".

Quad Cities Lesson Plan LIC-0703 LPRM/APRM, provided to your office with the original reference material submittal, lists the APRM Flow Biased scram setpoint Analytical Limit:

APRM HIGH-HIGH Trip Unit Setpoint:

Analytical Limit 20%

(Not in Run)

Analytical Limit 5 6 WD+71.1%and 125%

WD is the percentage of recirculation loop flow, which provides a rated core flow of 98 million Ibs/hr.

0.56(80) + 71.1% = 115.9%. Therefore, the answer to the question should be "C", 115.9%.

A facility requested revision to question might have prompted the error on the key. As originally provided for validation, the question was based on the Tech Spec allowable value for the APRM Flow Biased scram setpoint (.56 WD+67.4%and 122%) and the correct answer was "8". Following validation, the facility requested revision of the question to base it on the Analytical Limit instead of the Tech Spec allowable value. The Lead Examiner and Facility Representative agreed on the revision prior to approval, but it appears that the key was not revised accordingly.
