EXAMINATION REPORT Individual performance results are not included in this report because these reports are placed in the NRC Public Document Room, a.

EXAMINATION REVIEW COMMENT RESOLUTION i

In general, editorial comments or changes made during the-i examination, review, or subsequent grading reviews are not addressed by this resolution section. -This section reflects resolution of substantive coments made in Omaha Public Power District written response to the written examination content. The proposed modifications that have been accepted are included in the master -

examination key, comprising Section 3.d of this report, as are all other changes mentioned above but not discussed herein. Coments not accepted are addressed below.- Note that coments from the licensee response are paraphrased for brevity. The full text of the coments as received from the licensee is included in Section 3.e of this report.

5.08 The question could be misleading since the examinee may have assumed a constant fuel temperature in all cases, in which case (b), (c), and (d) would not change.

It is suggested that the question be revised to include the following: " Assume Tave and reactor power are the same in all four cases.

Resp.

The comment is noted and the examiner sees no basis for agreement.

3

P 3

5.12.b An additional correct answer is one based on the note from Fig. 4-2 in the Emergency Operating Procedures which states:

"Any time the RCS has experienced an uncontrolled cooldown causing RCS temperature to go below 500 oF."

A copy of Fig. 4-2 is attached. E0P-1 instructs the operator to maintain RCS pressure and temperature between the 20 0F subcooled curve and the 200 oF. subcooled curve. Any uncontrolled cooldown causing the RCS temperature to go below 500 oF, which takes the RCS temperature and pressure to the left of the 200 of subcooled curve results in PTS conditions.

Resp.

This comment is noted and the examiner agrees. However there will be no change in the key as this scenario is inherent in the existing key.

6.02.a An additional initiator of load shed is Offsite Power Low Signal (0PLS). This results from coincident occurrence of degraded voltage and SIAS. This is also reflected by the existing answer key for part b.

Resp.

This cannot be accepted as a valid answer as the question asks for the types of load shedding, not individual initiating events.

6.03.b The question could have been interpreted in such a way that an answer which discusses the two method as

" switching to a live bus" and " switching to a dead bus" should also be accepted for full credit. As indicated in the attached pages from Operating Instruction 01-EE-4, the methods used for transferring to a live bus differ significantly from methods used to transfer to a dead bus.

Resp.

This comment is not accepted as the question solicits design features and attributes, not specifics of procedures.

6.03.d There are other design features that add reliability to the inverters. Any of the following answers should be acceptable for full credit:

(1) Each inverter has its own internal frequency reference.

(2) The ability exists to cross-tie instrument AC buses.

(3) The power supply for the inverters is from a battery which provides backup power in case a battery charger fails.

(4) Spare battery charger.

Resp.

Item (2) is acceptable and already exists in the answer key. The other items are not acceptable as this information was solicited in parts a and c.

The answer key will not deduct credit for the suggested answers but will require the bus cross-tie feature for full credit.

'4

.The other answers address reliability of the inverter power supply, not the bus power supply.

6.05.a An alternate correct answer is to prevent a harsh environment for FW-6 created by a rupture of a steam line for FW-10.

Therefore FW-10 is considered to be the designated emergency pump, and FW-6 is given preferential operation.

It is also correct to mention the undesirable conditions introduced due to the fact that use of FW-10 introduces an unmonitored release path'.

Resp.

Comment is not accepted as the question does not solicit action or symptoms based on accident conditions, but operating method as a result of system design.

6.05.c In order to avoid confusion in this question, it might be reworded as follows: "Why is it recommended that Steam generator level be maintained greater than or equal to 80%

when feeding through the auxiliary feedwater nozzles?"

Comment is noted. Licensee should note that proposed Resp.

~ question wording gives half the answer to part b.

6.06.a It is very unclear as to what is meant by "... options available to the operator for reading these indicators..."

Therefore, a discussion of any of the options available for reading the radiation monitor should accepted for full i

credit. Examples include: All positions, any three decades, alert setpoint.. alarm setpoint, local (meter),

and remote (meter). Note that there are six combinations of three consecutive decades available to the operator.

Resp.

The question asked for the options, not any of the options available to the operator. Therefore full credit could not be allowed unless all of the suggested answers were supplied. The comment is not acceptable and the examiner will require the original answer. Those answers requested by the licensee will be allowed for no credit.

6.07.b Part a. addresses only CCW/RW interface valves.

Therefore, it is logical to assume that part b. is addressing the same valves. No indication is given that valves strictly in the RW system should be considered in the response. An answer which discusses the use of accumulators and describes the interface valves equipped with accumulators should be accepted for full credit.

Resp.

The examiner disagrees with the proposed logical assumation by the examinees. However the required answer will )e expanded to require the mention of interface valves for full credit, effectively increasing the

l t

5 question score for those examinees who mentioned interface valves.

6.08.b An additional correct answer is that the valve is used for shutdown cooling purification as detailed in valve checklist from OI-SC-5, attached.

Resp.

Not accepted. Inclusion of valve on checklist does not support contention that systems interface is used for this evolution.

6.08.c Additional correct answers for Parts (1) and (2) include filling the spent fuel pool, draining the transfer canal, reducing fuel pool level, failure of pool cooling system, and full core off-load.

Resp.

Comment is noted and examiner agrees. However answer key will not be changed as all these answers are inherent in the existing key.

6.09.a The sequencers are started by receipt of an accident signal, therefore, accident' signal should be acceptable in part 3 of this question Resp.

Comment noted. Answer key will not be changed as proposed change is already inherent in existing answer.

6.09.b A number of additional correct answers exist for this question. These include:

(1) Drain and refill the VCT as part of the venting process.

(2) Lower VCT pressure to allow gasses to come out of solution.

(3) Obtain maximum purification and letdown flow (actually(a way of enhancing filtration and domineralization flow.

4) " Burp" the VCT with hydrogen and nitrogen.

Resp.

Not accepted. The proposed additional answers are procedures, not methodology.

6.10.b Additional correct answers include low temperature over-pressurization, shutdown cooling system valve interlock, and pressurizer pressure low (PPLS initiates SI). Any four answers should be accepted for full credit.

It is recommended that the question be worded to say " List four protective action signals that could be initiated by high or low pressurizer.

Resp.

Coment not accepted.

LTOP PORV actuation and PPLS SI initiation are inherent in existing answer.

SDC valve interlock is not considered to be a protective action.

The comment on question rewording is noted.

7.01.a It is unclear as to what is meant by "Be specific as to technique of determination." Therefore, any answer which

I 6

y

  • ~

discusses in some detail the process for generating 1/M plots should be accepted for full credit.

Resp.

Not accepted. The proposed answer is acceptable for partial credit, but the number of channels and the number

.of times the count is performed is the required specific information solicited by the question.

7.02.a

-Two additional correct answers exist:

(1) A correct basis is to reduce probability of fuel failure by fuel i

conditioning.

(2) A correct basis is to limit increases in local power density. Any two of the four answers should be accepted for full credit.

Resp.

Partially accepted.

The answer of fuel conditioning limits is accepted and will be incorporated into the key.

i i

Increasing local power density will not be added to the key, but this answer is inherent in the required answer of

{

ASI.

7.02.b Additional correct answers include: Acceptable power peaking. factors, minimum SDM is maintained, CEA ejection consequences are mitigated, core burnup distribution for i

LSSS setpoints, and negligible effects due to Xenon distribution. Any two answers.should be acceptable for full credit.

{

Resp.

.Not accepted. Question asks for the "only two considerations." Any two of the answers above are not the only two considerations. The alternative would be to require all five answers above plus any others that may be remotely applicable.

4 7.02.c To clarify this question, it is suggested that it be l

reworded as follows:

"During initial criticality of a j

newly refueled core, Why may the Reactor Engineer place i

limits on maximum withdrawal of CEA's?

Resp.

Comment noted.

l 7.03.b With the RCS pressure at 1500 psig, pressurizer pressure

]

low signal (PPLS) would be blocked since this must occur i

above 1600 psig. Therefore, an alternate correct answer i

would be to initiate PPLS by placing block switch to the emergency reset position.

It should also be noted that j

the answer provided in the key is incorrect. The correct answer can be ascertained by reviewing the block diagram for the Engineering Safeguards Control actuation which is attached.

Resp.

Partially accepted.

The question asked for automatic, not j

manual initiation. The key answer will be expanded to require the manual initiation of automatic initiation for i

7 half the question credit. The second comment required a telephone call to the licensee in order to understand the problem. The answer key has been changed to reflect that CSAS does not occur as a result of CPHS alone..

7.04.b A0P-19, " Loss of Shutdown Cooling", has no specified "last resort" method for removing residual heat subsequent to a complete loss of shutdown cooling for the condition with the head removed with refueling conditions established.

Since this question was misleading, it requested that question 7.04.b either be deleted from the examination or any reasonable flow path be accepted for full credit. The appropriateness of a flowpath can be verified by referring to the P&ID's for the Fort Calhoun Station.

Resp.

Not accepted.

The procedure describes a flow path to be used for cooling when the head is removed and the refueling pit is flooded with the transfer canal open.

7.05.a Full credit should be given for stating that the recirculation valves have been closed on a RAS or that the recirculation to the SIRWT has been isolated on a RAS.

A0P-23 does not discuss deadheading of the pumps.

Resp.

Coment is noted. Answer is inherent in the existing key.

7.06.a An additional vent path exists, that of venting the pressurizer to the VCT. This path is described in 01-CH-3. While this flow path is not part of the reactor coolant gas vent system, it would be an available flow path and would be considered for use following an accident.

If only the answers in the key are desired, it is suggested that the question be revised as follows:

"During recovery from an accident, it becomes necessary to vent the RCS of non-condensable gasses using the reactor coolant gas vent system..."

Resp.

Not accepted. There is no documentation that this method would be used during accident or accident recovery conditions.

7.07.a An alternate correct answer is that a star (*) preceding a step in the Safety Function Status Check portion of the Emergency Operating Procedures requires the operator to record the value of the parameter.

Resp.

Not accepted. The star (*) requiring a value to be i

recorded does not precede a step but appears as usually within the step.

7.07.b A description of actions taken to attempt to establish reactivity control should be accepted for full credit a

_ _ ~ _

i 8

instead of the statement of attempting to establish -

reactivity control.

In order to aid clarity, it is suggested that the question be reworded as follows: Whct course of action does E0P-20 direct the operator to take if acceptance criteria for. reactivity control cannot be met?

Resp.

The comment concerning rewording the question for clarity is noted. Action necessary to establish reactivity.

reactivity control will be accepted in lieu of the blanket i

statement, However it must be noted that the operator is responsible for other safety functions to obtain full credit for this question and this response will be required.

+

7.09.b It is requested that the answer in the key be replaced with the following: "Cooldown below no-load Tave with no means of makeup to the RCS may result in loss of RCS pressure and inventory control." Void formation is not mentioned in this statement from E0P-02.

Resp.

This comment is noted and ignored as the statement is obviously inherent in the existing answer key.

7.10.b Credit should also be given for the following responses:

(1)

Isolating the steam generator, as detailed in step 3.14 of E0P-04.

(2) Controlling RCS pressure 0-100 psid above isolated steam generator pressure, as detailed in step 3.18 of E0P-04.

Resp.

Not accepted as these reasons were not delineated for this purpose within the procedure.

{

7.10.d Voiding in the head should be an acceptable answer in addition to voiding in the RCS.

Resp.

This answer-is already.in the existing key.

.8.02.a This question is extremely difficult to interpret.

It appears that a specific item from the surveillance section of Technical Specifications or a surveillance test is.

being solicited.

It is not apparent that an item appearing in the definitions section of the Technical Specifications is the desired response. Due to the misleading nature of this question, it is requested that it be deleted from the examination. Should this infomation be desired in the future, a multiple choice fomat might be appropriate.

Resp.

Not accepted. All candidates who asked received l

clarification.

Further all Technical Specification instrument surveillances are classified as a particular i

~..

9 type, eg; calibration, channel check, response time check, etc.

8.02.c Alternative correct responses to the reason for the required action to be taken are contained in the last paragraph of the basis for Technical Specification 2.15.

Some of the other reasons include: Preventing a limiting condition for operation on CEA insertion, CEA deviation, CEA overlap, or CEA sequencing from being approached.

Resp.

This comment is ignored as the question does not require the limiting event to be named and the above statements are the reasons for installing a rod block.

8.07.a In order to clarify the question, it is suggested that the second sentence be reworded as follows: What conditions eliminate the need for the requirement to disable the pumps?

Resp.

Noted.

8.08.a This question could be clarified by adding that each of the first two barriers start at the core and work out.

Resp.

Noted 6

8.10.c The question as written is in error. Technical Specification 5.11.1 addresses High Radiation Areas.

Technical Specification 5.11.2 addresses Very High Radiation Areas.

From the answer key it appears that the desired response was the methods required for High Radiation Area. As such, the candidates could have been mislead by the question and responded with the items listed in Technical Specification 5.11.2 Due to the confusion created, this question should be deleted from the examination.

Resp.

This comment is not understood in that a response concerning T. S. 5.11.2 was desired. However no change will be made to the key as t M requirements'of 5.11.2 are referenced from 5.11.1 and they are identical.

MARCH 5, 1987 EXIT MEETING

SUMMARY

At the conclusion of the site visit, the NRC examiners met with representatives of the plant staff to discuss the site visit. The following personnel were present.

-0 PPD OPPD J. Hannon R. Andrews J. Fluehr P. Harrell J. Gasper W. Gates J. Pellet L. Kusek D. Leather T. Westerman:

K. Morris D. Munderloh J. Whittemore J. Tesarek L. Wigdahl Mr. Whittemore started the meeting by expressing thanks for the cooperation received by the examiners during the site visit. The operations staff was singled out-for the cooperation of-the on-shift control room operators during examination administration. The following general topics were discussed.

(1) AsrequiredbyNUREG:1021,theExaminerSdndards, preliminary results are no longer provided in the exit meeting.

(2) NRC would attempt to finalize results as soon as possible, but grading could not commence until the licensees comments on the written exam were received in the RIV office.

(3) The licensee expressed concern that they had little or no control over the candidates selected to receive NRC requalification examinations.

It was explained that examinations were often cancelled or delayed due to personal or scheduling problems. It was also noted that the NRC has regulatory responsibility to ensure that individuals holding active operator licenses are in fact competent to operate the facility safely.

c.

GENERIC WEAKNESSES The generic weaknesses noted below were noted during the administration of the operating oral walk-through examinations.

They are provided for the benefit of the licensee and no response or corrective actions are required.

(1) Candidates could not recognize abnormal indications on the Qualified Safety Parameter Display System (QSPDS) and when abnormalities were pointed out, they could not propose corrective action.

(2) At least three candidates stated that boration would cause a noticeable shift in core flux axial profile shape because of higher boron concentration entering the bottom portion of the Core.

(3) Candidates were at a loss to explain why the core axial flux varied with changes in core power and lifetime.

11 (4) At least two candidates stated that a Radiation Work Permit could not be made_ active on back shift as the supervisory personnel needed to approve were not on site and would have to be called out.

(5) Knowledge of plant response to small reactivity changes at low power levels was weak in some individuals.

(6) Candidates were confused about the procedure to extend radiation exposure limits, some even to the point of inability to execute the opened procedure.
