: a. The examiners expressed concern that the examinations could not be completed during the week of August 29 1988, due to the lack of                                                                      L adequate reference material being provIded for preparation of the                                                                    i examinations. The operating examinations had to be postponed because the operational scenario's were developed using material                                                                    .

Examination Review Copies of the written examinations and answer keys were given to the facility for review at the conclusion of the examination.                                                                    The facility coments were provided to the examiners on September 9,1988. The coments and resolution are enclosed as Attachment 1 to the report.

ATTACHMENT 1                                                                      l i
General Coments Coment:                                          Several questions were not directly related to Big Rock Point.
Although the information reflected in those questions was, in fact, based on study material for the Reactor Operator / Senior Reactor Operator Program, it was provided as supplemental information on which a student can base his understanding of the concept and apply that understanding to Big Rock Point. In most cases, a question directly applicable to Big Rock Point could have been asked. It is felt that .he student can more fully comprehend specific Big Rock Point concepts if some of this additional information is made available. Examination questions in those areas should be avoided since they do not, for the most part, aid in determination of the student's understanding and knowledge of this plant.
Response:                                        Enclosure 1 to the 90 day letter, dated May 12 1988, provided specificguidanceontheneedforplantspecifIcreference material. Such guidance is provided to avoid the situation identified in the above coment. Nonrelevant material should be clearly indicated as such in the material furnished for exam developement.
Comment:                                          In general, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's existing policies on comunications with the facility during development of the Hot License Examinations, and review of the examination after it has been administered, have led to problems that could have been avoided. Communications with the facility while developing examinations on any uncertain points is the best tool to eliminate examination discrepancies.
Response:                                        The staff is aware of the licensees' concerns as noted in the coment. Examiner Standard ES-201, Revision 5, Attachment 2, Enclosure 4, "Requirements For Facility Review of Written Examination," will allow the Chief Examiner the option to have the facility review the written examination. Whenever this option is utilized, a Pre-Examination Security Agreement will be signed. Regardless of whether this option is utilized or not, the submittal of thorough, accurate, and appropriate reference material is essential to minimizing problems with examination content.
Coment:                                          Numerous questions require "setpoints" to be included in the answer. However, the guidance of ES-202 states that setpoints should be avoided. Because of this, setpoints are not normally required to be memorized and student answers may reflect this.
Response:                                        Specifically, six questions required numerical responses in the answer:
1
 
(1) Question 2.04. The numerical value enclosed in parenther.es in the answer key is for information and is not required for full credit.
(2) Question 2.10. Same disposition as Question 2.04 above.
Parentheses inadvertently omitted from Part b of the answer key.
(3) Question 2.11. The 150 psig value requested in the question relates to the shutdovr. cooling system operational design limitations as providcd in the lesson plan and system operating procedure. Expected candidate knowledge of this value is consistent with the examiner standards and NUREG 1123. The candidate d.monstrated this knowledge by correctly answering the question.
(4) Question 3.01. This question requested the candidate to provide a safety system interlock (when a scram is bypassed).
This is consistent with the examiner standards and NUREG 1123.
(5) Question 3.03. This question requested the control settings for the safety related liquid poison system heaters and the length of time (Design Criteria) that the system remains operable upon loss of the heaters. These knowledges are consistent with the examiner standards and NUREG 1123.
l            (6) Question 3.11. This question tests for the operational
;                  interlocks for the Circulating Water Pump and it's discharge l                  valve. This knowledge is consistent with the examiner standards and NUREG 1123.
l l  Comment:  Several answers in the examination keys contained parameter values I            which included tolerances. These tolerances, in all cases, are
!            absent from the references given and appeared to be somewhat l            arbitrarily assigned. Additionally tolerances were assigned to I            parameters for which none exist. Several of these were cases where the reference and plant procedures given parameter values as approximate pressures, times, etc. Clearly, no tolerance applies to these and, in fact, no tolerance applies to any of the values where they appear in the answer key using the reference provided.
Response: In general, when numerical responses are requested, examination policy and common sense necessitate that a nominal tolerance be assigned. This allows the candidates to demonstrate their knowledge of the important system numerical values in magnitude without being penalized if they miss the correct answer by a small amount. When none is present in the facility material, the examiners assign a value that is subject to facility review and comment. This approach was used in two cases on Questions 2.11 and 3.11. The candidate is not required to state these nominal tolerances in his/her answer.

t t
l Two other questions were also assigned tolerances based on the same  l general guidance. In these two cases, Questions 3.01 and 3.03, the    !'
tolerance assigned was based on the conflicting information in the provided reference material.                                  !
Question 3.01. Two values were given for the scram bypass          i setting; less than 500 psig and 450 psig. Hence the tolerance      !
of 500 + 0 - 50 psig.
P Question 3.03. Regarding liquid poison heater settings the material  I referred to two heaters, one set at 140*F, the other set at 150 F.    ,
Hence, the 140 - 150'F tolerance.                                    !

Comment:              Questions 1.01, 5.01.                  Big Rock Point (BRP) does not have "IRMs."
Several hours later leads the operator to a point past the peak (four hours + time to startup + several (?) hours).                                                                                                                                        l Actual xenon concentration equals rate of production - rate of removal. Mathematical calculation is not required on the job.
Actual time at which peak is reached and xenon concent*ation decreases and adds reactivity would be f,omething less than 7 to 11 hours.
The multiple choice answers do not reflect the actual condition.
This question and answer does not solicit the operator's knowledge ofthesubjectmatter.

Resolution: Agree in part.                            Clarification to the candidates was made during exam that the reactor was operating at system pressure and temperature in lieu of "Range % of the IRM." The Xenon                                                                                                                                      !

reactivity. In order to maintain reactor at system pressure and temperature, control rods would have to be withdrawn to compensate for Xenon build-in. This question tests basic understanding of how Xenon effects reactor power. The answer l                          key was not changed.                                                                                                                                                                        I l  Comment:              Questions 1.03, 5.03. The answer to this question is dependcat on I                          exactly what temperature and pressure the start up is at when the                                                                                                                          j rod drop occurs as to whether temperature coefficien'. will affect the accident.

discussions with the site "eact . engineer, it was noted that the concept of flux shaping using control rods is used to some extent at Big Rock Point. The concepts utilized at the plant and the specific question asked in the exam was consistent with the training material and requires the type of general knowledge expected of licensed operators regarding control rod theory.
Answer key unchanged.

Resolution:  Agree with Comment. Answer key was changed to accept recirculation flow indicator in control room.      Recommend reference material be updated to reflect this.
        - Coment:    Questions 1.11, 5.11. Barrier fuel not used at BRP. This concept is used only to illustrate possible sclutions to PCI.
 
==Reference:==
BRP Material Science Less Plan.
Resolution:  Comment noted. Enabling Objective No. 5 states, "Describe the method incorporated to remedy pellet cladding interaction as described in Chapter 10," (NUS Reactor Materials Manual, Chapter 10). Listed under PCI Remedies is a discussion on "barrier fuel." The way the lesson plans at Big Rock are written makes it very difficult for the examiner to differentiate between what is required knowledge of an operator (per enabling / learning objectives) and what is actually used at Big Rock. It is recommended that all training material ba revised to clarify between background information and the required information a candidate can be examined on. Answer key unchanged, since it did not change the pass / fail decision for the candidates. This cuestion will not be uploaded to the exam bank to prevent it's future use.

Comment:    Question 1.14. Equation sheet on R0 Exam has 1 x 10 -5 sec = A*.
Student used this number for calculation. Answer should reflect this number.
Resolution: Comment noted. Equation sheet is considered to be in error.
Answer key changed to allow the use of 1 x E-5 or 1 x E-4.
Comment-    Questions 2.01, 6.01. Question should lead students to ONP if that is the specific answer requested. As this question is stated, other answers would be acceptable, i.e., Loss of Station power, MG set supply breaker open, etc.
Resolution: Comment noted. ONP 2-36 does not list specific causes for a loss of MG set. P&ID WD 740, Sheet 11 does not show any direct causes related to RPS MG set loss. ONP 2-35 is the only document tchich specifkally states possible causes for loss of a RPS MG sat.
Loss 01 Station Power is an indirect cause of loss of MG set.
The direct cause would be due to low voltage of MG set. Answer key was changed to accept low voltage as an alternative answer for loss of generator voltage and to accept supply breaker and output breaker trip.
Comment:    Questions 2.03, 6.03. Pump can also be started locally at the diesel fire pump from the magnetic switch levers.

Resolution: Comment noted.            From the reference material supplied by the licensee it is not clear that the DC Wide Range Monitors have the same requirements as the PICOs. This question was deleted.
Comment:    Question 8.13.            Memorizing definitions is avoided where they do not apply to plant conditions. At BRP, it is felt to be adequate knowing that the definitions in Technical Specifications exist.
It is a better operational practice to look up the definition when required to do so. This operator action tends to eliminate errors in memory.

ANSWER                5.02      (2.00)
Fcr up power transients tne shorter lived precursors are dominant, and so reactivity is added, the shorter lived precursors give birth to noutrens which will cause more fissions sooner and increase the rate    (1.0) at which power increases.
For down power transients, the rate of power change is limited to the rate of decay of the longest lived precursor.        They will continue to supply neutrons at a value dependent on the previous power level and thus retard the rate of power decrease.                                (1.0)

ANSWER          5.03      (2.50)
: e.      Doppler (.34) is the first to add negative reactivity. The increase in power level causes a rise in fuel temperature and a corresponding addition of nogettve reactivity due to the doppler effect (0.5).
: b.      Moderator Temperature Coefficient (.33) is the next as there is a time delay (fuel time constant'. for the heat generation in the fuel pellet to reach the coolant in the channel and cause the temperature to increase (0.5).
: c.      Void Coefficient (.33) is the last as the moderator temperature has to increase to the point of saturation before voids are formed in appreciable quantity.    (Also accept if there are no voids early in startup) (0.5)

Peripheral rod worth will increase (0.5).      High Xe concentration in thw center of the core (highest power before scram) will depress the thermal neutron flux in that ragion causing the coletive neutron flux in the peripheral bundles to be higher, thus increase the relative rod corth in peripheral rods (1.0).                                      (1.5)

1. Examiners J. C. Bjorgen, Region III, Chief Examiner E. A. Hare, Region III
2. Exit Meeting An exit meeting was held on September 1, 1988. The following personnel were present at this meeting.

Consumers Power Corpany f T. W. Elward, Plant manager R. R. Frisch, Senior Licensing Analyst R. Buckner, Nuclear Training Administrator D. G. La Creix, Senior Nuclear Instructor - C. R. Abel, Production and Performance Superintendent P. Donnelly, Nuclear Safety Administrator l T. R. Fisher, Senior Quality Assurance Consultant ' H. Scheels, Shift Supervisor E US NRC J. C. Bjorgen, Chief Examiner l E. A. Hare, Examiner t G. C. Wright, Chief, Operations Branch t N. R. Williamson, Resident Inspector The following topics were discussed at the exit meeting: f i

a. The examiners expressed concern that the examinations could not be completed during the week of August 29 1988, due to the lack of L adequate reference material being provIded for preparation of the i examinations. The operating examinations had to be postponed because the operational scenario's were developed using material .

that was no longer valid for the plant. This included the ' Emergency Operating Procedures and the Nuclear Instrumentation , System Description. > t An additional meeting was held with the plant manager on October 12, i

       ,          1988, to briefly discuss the findings of the operating examination.                                                                  I L

No generic weaknesses were identified.

3. Examination Review Copies of the written examinations and answer keys were given to the facility for review at the conclusion of the examination. The facility coments were provided to the examiners on September 9,1988. The coments and resolution are enclosed as Attachment 1 to the report.

t 2 i

ATTACHMENT 1 l i General Coments Coment: Several questions were not directly related to Big Rock Point. Although the information reflected in those questions was, in fact, based on study material for the Reactor Operator / Senior Reactor Operator Program, it was provided as supplemental information on which a student can base his understanding of the concept and apply that understanding to Big Rock Point. In most cases, a question directly applicable to Big Rock Point could have been asked. It is felt that .he student can more fully comprehend specific Big Rock Point concepts if some of this additional information is made available. Examination questions in those areas should be avoided since they do not, for the most part, aid in determination of the student's understanding and knowledge of this plant. Response: Enclosure 1 to the 90 day letter, dated May 12 1988, provided specificguidanceontheneedforplantspecifIcreference material. Such guidance is provided to avoid the situation identified in the above coment. Nonrelevant material should be clearly indicated as such in the material furnished for exam developement. Comment: In general, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's existing policies on comunications with the facility during development of the Hot License Examinations, and review of the examination after it has been administered, have led to problems that could have been avoided. Communications with the facility while developing examinations on any uncertain points is the best tool to eliminate examination discrepancies. Response: The staff is aware of the licensees' concerns as noted in the coment. Examiner Standard ES-201, Revision 5, Attachment 2, Enclosure 4, "Requirements For Facility Review of Written Examination," will allow the Chief Examiner the option to have the facility review the written examination. Whenever this option is utilized, a Pre-Examination Security Agreement will be signed. Regardless of whether this option is utilized or not, the submittal of thorough, accurate, and appropriate reference material is essential to minimizing problems with examination content. Coment: Numerous questions require "setpoints" to be included in the answer. However, the guidance of ES-202 states that setpoints should be avoided. Because of this, setpoints are not normally required to be memorized and student answers may reflect this. Response: Specifically, six questions required numerical responses in the answer: 1

(1) Question 2.04. The numerical value enclosed in parenther.es in the answer key is for information and is not required for full credit. (2) Question 2.10. Same disposition as Question 2.04 above. Parentheses inadvertently omitted from Part b of the answer key. (3) Question 2.11. The 150 psig value requested in the question relates to the shutdovr. cooling system operational design limitations as providcd in the lesson plan and system operating procedure. Expected candidate knowledge of this value is consistent with the examiner standards and NUREG 1123. The candidate d.monstrated this knowledge by correctly answering the question. (4) Question 3.01. This question requested the candidate to provide a safety system interlock (when a scram is bypassed). This is consistent with the examiner standards and NUREG 1123. (5) Question 3.03. This question requested the control settings for the safety related liquid poison system heaters and the length of time (Design Criteria) that the system remains operable upon loss of the heaters. These knowledges are consistent with the examiner standards and NUREG 1123. l (6) Question 3.11. This question tests for the operational

interlocks for the Circulating Water Pump and it's discharge l valve. This knowledge is consistent with the examiner standards and NUREG 1123.

l l Comment: Several answers in the examination keys contained parameter values I which included tolerances. These tolerances, in all cases, are ! absent from the references given and appeared to be somewhat l arbitrarily assigned. Additionally tolerances were assigned to I parameters for which none exist. Several of these were cases where the reference and plant procedures given parameter values as approximate pressures, times, etc. Clearly, no tolerance applies to these and, in fact, no tolerance applies to any of the values where they appear in the answer key using the reference provided. Response: In general, when numerical responses are requested, examination policy and common sense necessitate that a nominal tolerance be assigned. This allows the candidates to demonstrate their knowledge of the important system numerical values in magnitude without being penalized if they miss the correct answer by a small amount. When none is present in the facility material, the examiners assign a value that is subject to facility review and comment. This approach was used in two cases on Questions 2.11 and 3.11. The candidate is not required to state these nominal tolerances in his/her answer. l l 2 k

t t l Two other questions were also assigned tolerances based on the same l general guidance. In these two cases, Questions 3.01 and 3.03, the  !' tolerance assigned was based on the conflicting information in the provided reference material.  ! Question 3.01. Two values were given for the scram bypass i setting; less than 500 psig and 450 psig. Hence the tolerance  ! of 500 + 0 - 50 psig. P Question 3.03. Regarding liquid poison heater settings the material I referred to two heaters, one set at 140*F, the other set at 150 F. , Hence, the 140 - 150'F tolerance.  ! i l I i 1 4 1 l 3

I 9 SPECIFIC COMENTS  ; Comment: Questions 1.01, 5.01. Big Rock Point (BRP) does not have "IRMs." Several hours later leads the operator to a point past the peak (four hours + time to startup + several (?) hours). l Actual xenon concentration equals rate of production - rate of removal. Mathematical calculation is not required on the job. Actual time at which peak is reached and xenon concent*ation decreases and adds reactivity would be f,omething less than 7 to 11 hours. The multiple choice answers do not reflect the actual condition. This question and answer does not solicit the operator's knowledge ofthesubjectmatter.

Reference:

BRP Lesson Plant BNA 31A and 31A. BRP Reactor Theory, Page 45 (Peak 7-11 hours af ter scram). BRP Reactor Theory, Pages 42 to 45. Resolution: Agree in part. Clarification to the candidates was made during exam that the reactor was operating at system pressure and temperature in lieu of "Range % of the IRM." The Xenon  ! being added due to reactor re-start is also adding negative ' reactivity. In order to maintain reactor at system pressure and temperature, control rods would have to be withdrawn to compensate for Xenon build-in. This question tests basic understanding of how Xenon effects reactor power. The answer l key was not changed. I l Comment: Questions 1.03, 5.03. The answer to this question is dependcat on I exactly what temperature and pressure the start up is at when the j rod drop occurs as to whether temperature coefficien'. will affect the accident. Students may quality, t .

Resolution: Agree with comment. Part e of this question was no longer discriminating (i.e. , did not discriminate between a knowledgeable vs unknowledgeable candidate). Therefore, Question 1.04/5.04 c. was deleted.

       -Comment:     Questions 1.06, 5.06. Sha=N nnd deep rods concept not used.at BRP. This information useu      -

_ oadground information. Resolution: Comment noted. LearningObjecti . 4 of Control Rod section states "Discuss Flux shaping wi' etrol Rods." During ' discussions with the site "eact . engineer, it was noted that the concept of flux shaping using control rods is used to some extent at Big Rock Point. The concepts utilized at the plant and the specific question asked in the exam was consistent with the training material and requires the type of general knowledge expected of licensed operators regarding control rod theory. Answer key unchanged. Comment: Questions 1.08, 5.08. Critical heat flux is used only as it applies to critical power.

Reference:

BRP Technical Specifications, P. ige 43. Resolution: Comment noted. Since no specific recommendation was made, no modification of answer key was made. Comment: Questions 1.10, 5.10. BRP also has flow indicators in the control room.

Reference:

P&ID S-001-A. Resolution: Agree with Comment. Answer key was changed to accept recirculation flow indicator in control room. Recommend reference material be updated to reflect this.

       - Coment:     Questions 1.11, 5.11. Barrier fuel not used at BRP. This concept is used only to illustrate possible sclutions to PCI.

Reference:

BRP Material Science Less Plan. Resolution: Comment noted. Enabling Objective No. 5 states, "Describe the method incorporated to remedy pellet cladding interaction as described in Chapter 10," (NUS Reactor Materials Manual, Chapter 10). Listed under PCI Remedies is a discussion on "barrier fuel." The way the lesson plans at Big Rock are written makes it very difficult for the examiner to differentiate between what is required knowledge of an operator (per enabling / learning objectives) and what is actually used at Big Rock. It is recommended that all training material ba revised to clarify between background information and the required information a candidate can be examined on. Answer key unchanged, since it did not change the pass / fail decision for the candidates. This cuestion will not be uploaded to the exam bank to prevent it's future use. 2

Comment: Question 1.14. Equation sheet on R0 Exam has 1 x 10 -5 sec = A*. Student used this number for calculation. Answer should reflect this number. Resolution: Comment noted. Equation sheet is considered to be in error. Answer key changed to allow the use of 1 x E-5 or 1 x E-4. Comment- Questions 2.01, 6.01. Question should lead students to ONP if that is the specific answer requested. As this question is stated, other answers would be acceptable, i.e., Loss of Station power, MG set supply breaker open, etc. Resolution: Comment noted. ONP 2-36 does not list specific causes for a loss of MG set. P&ID WD 740, Sheet 11 does not show any direct causes related to RPS MG set loss. ONP 2-35 is the only document tchich specifkally states possible causes for loss of a RPS MG sat. Loss 01 Station Power is an indirect cause of loss of MG set. The direct cause would be due to low voltage of MG set. Answer key was changed to accept low voltage as an alternative answer for loss of generator voltage and to accept supply breaker and output breaker trip. Comment: Questions 2.03, 6.03. Pump can also be started locally at the diesel fire pump from the magnetic switch levers.

Reference:

50P-26, Section 6.3.3. Resolution: Comment accepted. Answer key changed. If this information was provided initially then questions like these would not occur. Comment: Question 2.04. Setpoints are not required to be memorized in the training and should be avoided in written exvinations. Question 6.04 did not ask for setpoints.

Reference:

NUREG 1021, Revision e, Page 3 of 6 E. General Guidance No. 6. Resolution: Comment noted. Specific values, when not mandatory in the answer, are indicated by enclosing them in parentheses in the answer key. Parentheses added to the Part b answer key. Comment: Questions 2.05, 6.05. M0-7067, Bypass Valve Isolation Valve closes on isolation scram.

q Comment: Questions 2.06, 6.07. RDS Modifications, c. Air amplifier not presently being used. This modification was made to ensure valve closure anytime operated at operating system pressure including during testing. Resolution: Comment noted. However comment implies.that this modification is still in place. Answer key unchanged. Comment: Questions'2.07,6.08. Question does not lead the student to the system description. Further information is given in the. SOP. and the Technical Specifications.

Reference:

Standard Operating Procedure SOP-8, Post Incident System; and Technical Specifications, Page 133. Resolution: Comment noted. 50P-8 basically rewords the primary function of the Post Incident / Emergency Core Cooling System as defined in the system description. Exact wording is not necessary for full credit. BRP Technical Specifications does not clearly state the primary functions. It discuss the Bases for the requirement for operation. Answer key was not changed. , Comment: Question 2.10. Setpoint not required. Setpoint in answer key wrong (75 mr/hr). Actual setpoint at present (72 mr/hr).

e. Doppler (.34) is the first to add negative reactivity. The increase in power level causes a rise in fuel temperature and a corresponding addition of nogettve reactivity due to the doppler effect (0.5).
b. Moderator Temperature Coefficient (.33) is the next as there is a time delay (fuel time constant'. for the heat generation in the fuel pellet to reach the coolant in the channel and cause the temperature to increase (0.5).
c. Void Coefficient (.33) is the last as the moderator temperature has to increase to the point of saturation before voids are formed in appreciable quantity. (Also accept if there are no voids early in startup) (0.5)
