C. 2 and4.

D. 3 and5.

Question 98 The following plant conditions exist:

A General Emergency has been declared.

The Wide Range Gas Monitor (WRGM) is in HIGH Alarm.

Upper wind direction indicates 45 degrees.

Offsite Dose Calculation determines PAR Group A is applicable only.

Based ONLY on these conditions and using the Emergency Response Manual (ER-1.2D/G), which one of the following is the correct action to guard against personnel exposure?

Schiller Station Activation State Recommendation A. REQUIRED Evacuate 2 mile radius and 5 miles downwind-Shelter all others.

B. NOTREQUIRED Evacuate 2 mile radius and 5 miles downwind-Shelter all others.

C. REQUIRED Evacuate 5 mile radius and 10 miles downwind-Shelter all others.

D. NOTREQUIRED Evacuate 5 mile radius and 10 miles downwind-Shelter all others.

FPL Energy Seabrook Station SEABROOK STATION 2005 NRC EXAMINATION Exam Analysis Sheets

2003-05 Seabrook Station NRC Written Exam Justification for Answer Key Change and Regrade Following initial exam grading, Seabrook training staff conducted an independent analysis of questions that 50% or more of the candidates answered incorrectly. Eight questions were reviewed. Question 47 was found to contain a technical error as described below. All other questions reviewed were found to be technically accurate and properly structured.

Question 47 Nine out of ten candidates answered incorrectly. Eight of those nine chose the C distractor, which is not correct because an 86UB actuation will trip the generator breaker resulting in a turbine and reactor trip. Thus entry into E-0 is required eliminating distractors C & D. The question work sheet states that B is the correct answer because an 86UB actuation will not only trip the associated UAT breakers but will also prevent auto transfer of the buses to the RAT supply. Tom Manning of plant electrical engineering was consulted to confirm that auto transfer to the RAT supply is not prevented by an 86UB actuation. Therefore the correct answer to this question is A.

The ES-401 worksheet for question 47 references the 13.8kV Detailed System Text and L80121, the 13.8kV Lesson Guide. Neither of these references indicates that auto transfer to the RAT supplies is blocked by an 86UB actuation.

Recommendations

1. Correct question 47 worksheet (Form ES-401-5)

Correct Proposed Answer from B to A Correct Explanation of Answer, last sentence to The 86UB device will not prevent transfer from the UAT to the RAT backup supply of power, so therefore Bus 1, 3, and 5 will remain energized.

Add Technical References 309742 sheet 8 Protective Relaying Schematic UAT 1X-2A Backup

. Relaying.

Video Alarm Response Procedure D6455 Response to UAT 2A PROT SYS 2 TRIP & LOCK OUT Correct Explanation of Distractors first line to B - incorrect because transfer to RAT supplies will occur. E-0 is correct procedural reference.

2. Correct answer key for question 47. Correct answer is A

3. Regrade question 47 for all candidates.

4. Submit Condition Reports (TDRs) to evaluate potential LOlT program weakness where indicated by Training Supervisor Review and Approval Date a-7-05

2003-05 Seabrook Station NRC Written Exam Analysis The following questions required review as 50% or more of the candidates answered incorrectly:

Question 19 Six out of ten candidates answered incorrectly. Five of those six chose the A distractor, recognizing that following the rod drop Tavg would be lower. Apparently, however, they failed to consider the decrease in steam pressure associated with the lower Tavg. The question is technically accurate and properly structured. Submitted CR 05-01589 to address this as a potential LOlT program weakness.

Question 42 Five out of ten candidates answered incorrectly. Four of those five chose the B distractor, recognizing that a single train of CBS will limit containment pressure to design values. The B distractor is incorrect because the indicated CBS-P-SA discharge pressure is too low to deliver flow to the spray header. The question is technically accurate and properly structured. Submitted CR 05-01591 to address this as a potential LOlT program weakness.

Question 47 Nine out of ten candidates answered incorrectly. Eight of those nine chose the C distractor, which is not correct because an 86UB actuation will trip the generator breaker resulting in a turbine and reactor trip. Thus entry into E-0 is required eliminating distractors C & D. The question work sheet states that B is the correct answer because an 86UB actuation will not only trip the associated UAT breakers but will also prevent auto transfer of the buses to the RAT supply. Tom Manning of plant electrical engineering was consulted to confirm that auto transfer to the RAT supply is not prevented by an 86UB actuation. Submitted CR 05-01592 to address this as a potential LOIT program weakness.

Question 58 Five out of ten candidates answered incorrectly. All five of those chose the D distractor. FR-C.l requires that the operator continue to start available RCPs until CETCs are 1IOOF (not 750F per distractor D). The question is technically correct and properly structured. Submitted CR 05-01593 to address this as a potential LOlT program weakness.

Question 59 Six out of ten candidates answered incorrectly. All six of those chose the D distractor, recognizing the power to the hydrogen recombiners must be safety related. The correct answer however is an MCC not a Unit Substation (per distractor D). The question is technically correct and properly structured. Submitted CR 05-01595 to address this as a potential LOlT program weakness.

Question 82 Two out of four candidates answered incorrectly. Both of those chose distractor C. The action specified by this distractor is plausible but is not directed per the specified AOP.

The question is technically correct and properly structured. Submitted CR 05-01596 to address this as a potential LOlT program weakness.

Question 90 Two out of four candidates answered incorrectly. Both of those chose distractor B. The action specified by this distractor is plausible but is not in accord with the specified MPE. The question is technically correct and properly structured. Submitted CR 05-01597 to address this as a potential LOIT program weakness.

Question 100 Three out of four candidates answered incorrectly. All three chose distractor C. This distractor would be correct for State notifications but not for NRC notifications. The question is technically correct and properly structured. Submitted CR 05-01599 to address this as a potential LOlT program weakness.
