Quad Cities 2011 Exam - JPM Review Comments A. GENERIC COMMENT - JPMs do not have Task Completion Standard. B. ADMIN JPMS

1. SRO Admin 1 - Review a Fire Impairment Permit Requiring Compensatory Actions
a. Steps to determine consequences should be critical. Can't determine fire watch and backup suppression requirements unless impacts are first determined.
2. SRO Admin 2 - Use Procedures Related to Shift Staffing
a. The "Initiating Cue" directs the applicant to identify the staffing adjustments that need to be made and the time constraints involved, but the JPM continues with conducting call-out.
b. Suggest that a call-out list be provided so that applicant can conduct the call-out with the examiner roll playing the individuals being called.
3. SRO Admin 3 - Verify Reactor Mode Change Requirements
b. Shouldn't the INITIAL/DATE column of Attachment E be left blank if the applicant is to perform step QCGP 1-1 step F.6.hh.
4. SRO Admin 4 - Verify a Liquid Radwaste River Discharge Permit
a. What is the test of SRO level knowledge in this ,JPM. It is simply a calculation and does not require specific SRO knowledge or ability.
5. SRO Admin 5 - Classify a Security Event
a. Initial Conditions should be set up in a timeline - otherwise events look like a collection of random events.
b. Meteorological conditions should be earned and not provided as part of "Initial Conditions."
c. Delete "highest" from "Initiating Cue"
d. 2nd Evaluator Note - completion time should be less than 15 minutes, allowing for time to pass NARS form to a communicator and time necessary to establish communication with county/state (completion of roll call).
6. RO Admin 1 - Perform One-Rod-Out Interlock Surveillance
a. This is not an administrative JPM, since there are manipulation of system components.
b. Steps H.8-11 should be critical.
7. RO Admin 2 - Evaluate License Maintenance Requirements
a. Change "Initiating Cue" to: "You are to review the above record of shift coverage for the 1st quarter, and determine your eligibility to assume shift for April 4th, 2011.

Give an explanation for your determination.

b. Is there a fatigue rule component not evaluated here; specifically February 21 thru 25 at 8 hours per day, followed by Feb 26 and 27 at twelve hours a day, then Feb 28 thru March 4 at 8 hours a day. .
8. RO Admin 3 - Review Quarterly SBLC Pump Flow Rate Test
a. Delete last two sentences of "Initial Conditions"
b. Procedure mark up of section G is incorrect; step G.6 is marked "N/A" instead of step G.7
c. ..IPM should probably include steps H.13 thru H.15 also.
9. RO Admin 4 - Disable a NUMAC ARM Channel
a. This looks more like a "systems" ..IPM rather than an "Admin" ..IPM
b. Delete " ... and directed you to bypass it." from the next to the last Initial Condition
c. Delete the last Initial Condition (JPM is NOT time critical).
d. Change initiating cue to "Disable ARM .... " Instead of "Bypass ARM .... "

C. CONTROL ROOM SYSTEMS JPMS

1. CRS a - Initiate Standby Liquid Control With RWCU Failure to Isolate
a. This probably won't get by Pete
2. CRS b - Manual Initiation of RCIC
a. Delete fourth bullet of Initial Conditions (The Unit Sup ... )
3. CRS c - Adjust Turbine/Generator System Load Set
a. Suggest setting up a scenario that requires the operator to respond to an abnormal condition rather than an administrative limit (for example a bypass valve is open because the operator failed to adjust the load limit to maintain the 10% margin).
4. CRS d - Place Shutdown Cooling In Operation with Spurious Group II
a. Include WHY SDC was secured in the initial conditions
b. Move the new temperature control band to the Initiating Cue
c. Is NSO expected to implement QCOA 1000-02 without direction from US?
5. CRS e - Energize 480 VAC Bus 15 With a Failure of the Normal Feed
a. Move next to last Initial Condition to the Initiating Cue
b. May want to include a reason for not reenergjzjng Bus 16.
6. CRS f - Bypass "A" Channel of the Reactor Mode Switch to Shutdown Scram
a. Is this a normal procedure for Reactor Shutdown? If not explain why the procedure is to be performed in the Initial Conditions.
7. CRS h - Post Accident Pumping of the DWFDS to the WCT
a. Revise so that applicant enters the procedure at step F.5.d; provide marked up procedure.
1) Step "C.1" is performed as part of ..IPM CRS d
2) Add steps/cues to trigger and stop pump
b. Alternatively move cues from "Initial Conditions" to appropriate steps.

D. IN-PLANT ..IPMs

1. IP 'i' - Locally Start-Up a Diesel Generator With a Failure of the Vent Fan to Start
a. Delete "Initial Condition" stating "The Unit Supervisor (US) has directed ... "
b. Delete "Initial Conditions" with EO and revise "Initiating Cue" to include words stating that an EO is available to work with you.
c. "Initial Condition" statements associated with Annunciators, DG Status, and Fuel Oil levels should be moved and listed as "Evaluator Notes" to be earned by the applicant.
d. Revise Locked Box re-closure cue to address "break glass" scenario
2. IP 'j' -Inject Water Into the RPV Using the Condensate System Crosstie
a. Delete "Initial Condition" stating "The Unit Supervisor has directed ... "
b. "Initial Condition" statements associated with Condensate Status and'S-key" status should be moved and listed as "Evaluator Notes" to be earned by the applicant.
3. IP 'k' - Aligning Fire Protection Water to SSMP Room Cooler
a. Initial Condition" statement associated with 'S-key" status should be moved and listed as "Evaluator Notes" to be earned by the applicant.

Quad Cities 2011 Exam - Scenario Review Comments

1. Scenario 1
a. Event 1 - Other than valve positions there does not seem to be much system feedback for evaluation applicant response.
2. Scenario 2
a. Event 3 - SIMOP direct to remove rod drift malfunction if ATC takes CRD FCV to Manual; should be taken to Manual AND. repositioned to normal flow.
b. Event 3 -If the ATC takes no action before L-6 reaches position 12 OR if FCV is taken to MAN and the malfunction is removed. the rod will latch and rod insertion is no longer required.
3. Scenario 3
a. What makes reclosing the FW Heater bypass valve a "critical task." This should be an analyzed transient.
4. Scenario 4
a. Event 1 - Minimal activity for evaluation purposes
b. General Comment - seems to be a set of very simple malfunctions with minimum response required until the Major Transient (ATWS with loss of Bypass Valves)}}
