Dear Mr. Garchow:

Subject:

Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (PVNGS)

Units 1,2 and 3 Docket Nos. STN 50*528/529/530 2009 Reactor Operator and Senior Reactor Operator Written Examination Results Arizona Public Service Company (APS) management has completed its review of the operator examination conducted November 6, 2009, thru November 13, 2009.

The required examination documents referenced in NUREG 1021, Rev 9, Supplement 1, Section ES-501 (C.1.a) were hand-delivered or sent electronically to the chief examiner, with one exception. APS will forward the original Form(s)

ES-201-3, "Examination Security Agreement," with the appropriate pre- and post-examination signatures by December 15, 2009. This will allow time for APS to obtain signatures from the individuals who had detailed knowledge of any part of the operating tests or written examination.

There are no commitments made to the NRC by this letter.

Please call Mr. Warren Potter, Department Leader Nuclear Training, at (623) 393-6165, if you have questions or require additional information.

SRO Question 15 deletion proposal Due to two answers containing conflicting information that the examinees were exposed to during the LOIT program, Palo Verde suggests that question 15 of the 2009 SRO Initial License exam be deleted from the exam per ES-403 D.1.c.

The conflicting answers are:

  • Answer "A" states; "only A02C is running "
  • Answer "B" states; "A02B will start after a 120 second time delay...."

This became apparent during the exam review process as well as interviews with the SRO examinees.

Interviews with candidates showed that ofthe 8 SRO candidates, 4 chose answer "B", 3 chose answer "A", and one candidate chose "D". All 4 candidates that chose answer "B" stated the referenced alarm response as justification for there answer.

The conflicting information is contained in the Alarm Response Procedure (40AL 9RK7A, Panel B07A Alarm Response Procedure, Window 9B). The Alarm Response states the following:

  • The Standby CEDMAir Cooling Fan starts after a Reset Time Delay.

This conflicts with the next sentence in the Alarm Response Procedure:

  • Backdraft dampers have been installed to allow any single CEDM Cooling Fan to provide sufficient cooling. .

In addition to the above, the following statement is also include on the same page of the Alarm Response procedure:

  • IF the loss of one CEDM Fan in a CEDM ACU causes DP to fall below the auto start set point, OR the loss of two CEDM Fans in one CEDM ACU causes DP to fall below the auto start set point, THEN the standby CEDM Air Cooling Unit should auto start: ....

Engineering was consulted to determine the correct answer based on the question. The initial response from the system engineers was also in conflict.

The next step was to verify the response ofthe unit simulator. It was verified that the simulator does not model the low DIP start function. Auto starts are triggered by other means.

_ _ 1. The breaker for the affected CEDIVI ACU will trip and the fan will stop.

NOTE The Standby CEDM Air Cooling Fan starts after a Reset Time Delay. Backdraft dampers have been installed to allow any single CEDM Cooling Fan to provide sufficient cooling.

_ _ 2. IF the loss of one CEDM Fan in a CEDM ACU causes DP to fall below the auto start set point, OR the loss of two CEDM Fans in one CEDM ACU causes DP to fall below the auto start set point, THEN the standby CEDM Air Cooling Unit should auto start:

  • HCA-HS-49, CEDM ACU FANS A/C A02A/A02C amber light on.
  • HCB-HS-50, CEDM ACU FANS B/D A02B/A02D amber light on.

The only change between breaker closed and breaker open is that charger amps drop by 10 amps due to losing the trickle charge to the "A" battery.

The below table includes all of the control room indicators for this system in the left hand column.

The right hand column provides the transmitters (with corresponding grid locations) that supply a signal to the indicators.

INDICATOR RANGE TRANSMITTER 125V DC BUSA 0- 150 DC This meter indicates voltage on panel M41, PKA-EI-M41 VOLTS associated with the "A" Battery Bus. This indicator and associated voltmeter can be found on 01-E-PKA-002 at G-8.

Each PK bus has the same indication, using separate meters.

125 V BATTERY A 1500-0-1500 This meter indicates current from the "A" PKA-II-M4102 DC AMPS Battery to/from PKA-M41. This indicator and associated transmitter can be found on 01-E PKA-002 at G-7.

Each PK bus has the same indication, using separate meters.

BArrERY CHARGER A 0-150 DC This meter indicates voltage coming from PKA-EI-M4104 VOLTS Battery Charger A. This indicator and associated voltmeter can be found on 01-E PKA-002 at G-7.

Each PK Battery Charger has the same indication, using separate meters.

BATTERY CHARGER A 0-500 DC This meter indicates current coming from PKA-II-M4104 AMPS Battery Charger A. This indicator and associated ammeter can be found on 01-E PKA-002 at G-7.

Each PK Battery Charger has the same indication, using separate meters.

CHGRAC RED/GREEN Single light that indicates which DC bus is OUTPUT TO light being supplied by its associated swing PKA-M41 charger. Light is located on B01 below its associated Class Battery meters.

If light is RED, then the indicated Class bus is being supplied. If the light is GREEN, the bus is not being supplied.
