The following provides supplemental information to the NRC post examination questions.
NRC Question I Simulator Job Performance Measure (JPM) G Need new evaluation criteria and basis for
-
evaluating the applicants use of Abnormal Operating Procedure (AOP) M.04 Appendix E with
-
centrifugal charging pump (CCP) and volume control tank (VCT) for establishing make-up. The issues of capacity (flow rate and overall available volume) need to be addressed as an alternative for residual heat removal (RHR) from the refueling water storage tank (RWST).
TVA Response I This JPM was developed as an alternate path JPM such that when the candidates determined that the Appendix A criteria for establishing flow from the RWST through the CCPs in Step 1 could not be established, the candidate would then move on to Step 2 and establish makeup flow from the RWST through an alternate path using the RHR pumps. After reviewing the step sequence and the use of check boxes as each step is performed, it would be reasonable and logical that a candidate would go back to Step 5 of the AOP after not being able to open the suction valves from the RWST to the CCPs and conclude that the next step should be the guidance in Step 5 response not obtained (RNO) column that directs the candidate to perform Appendix E of AOP-M.04. This is not the direction given to the candidate in the JPM initiating cues, (which was to establish makeup to the refueling cavity from the RWST as soon as possible) however; the direction to perform Appendix E does have a logical flow path.
Although making up to the refueling cavity using a CCP taking suction from the VCT does reduce the rate of makeup to that of VCT makeup flow (120 gpm given the plant conditions for the JPM) vs potential makeup from injection by using a CCP taking suction from the RWST
( 400 gpm ) or RHR pumps (3000 gpm ), the rate of makeup flow was not a critical task of the JPM. Since the candidates did not know what the leak rate was, they would not know if Appendix A or Appendix E flow path was adequate until after determining if refueling cavity level was recovering or not. Determining a change in refueling cavity level to indicate how effective the makeup is in recovering level was not part of the JPM, only establishing makeup flow.
The site would evaluate the candidate as satisfactory if they assumed that makeup flow from the RWST could not be established when the CCP suction valves would not open using Appendix A and then applied the Step 5 RNO column direction of implementing Appendix E.
A revised copy of JPM G, with the alternate method of makeup to the refueling cavity using Appendix E is attached.
NRC Question 2 Administrative JPM A.1 .A Overtime Restrictions TVA Standard Programs and Processes
(SPP) 1.5, Section 3.2.1 .A.5, requires At least a 34 hour3.935185e-4 days <br />0.00944 hours <br />5.621693e-5 weeks <br />1.2937e-5 months <br /> break in any 9 calendar day period.
-
- a. How is this requirement applied / implemented at the station?
- b. How should this requirement have been applied I evaluated for the schedule given in the JPM?
TVA Response 2(a)
The actual application at the station is by using a Personnel Qualification and Scheduling software program in the Shift Operations Management System (eSOMS). This program has the criteria identified in NPG-SPP-03.21, Fatigue Management and Work Hour Limits. This is the official program used to track worker hours (actual and projected) to ensure the site is complying with the requirements of Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 26, Fitness for Duty Programs.
The application of Section 3.2.1 .A.5 of At least a 34 hour3.935185e-4 days <br />0.00944 hours <br />5.621693e-5 weeks <br />1.2937e-5 months <br /> break in any 9 calendar day period is actually a 216-hour period. The computer program evaluates the 34-hour break based on the start of work following a break of at least 34 continuous hours. Therefore, the computer program would evaluate the 216 hours0.0025 days <br />0.06 hours <br />3.571429e-4 weeks <br />8.2188e-5 months <br /> since the end of the last break of at least 34 continuous hours for another break of at least 34 continuous hours in length.
TVA Response 2(b)
Normally any hours scheduled to be worked (or planned to be worked) are processed using eSOMS to determine if any of the established criteria from Section 3.2.1 would be violated.
The JPM as administered had the candidates do a manual calculation of a work schedule based on the hours presented. During development and validation it was determined that two critical tasks (work hour violations) were present. It was not identified that a violation of Item 3.2.1 .A.5 (a 34 hr break in any 9 calendar day period) had been committed. The work hours given in the JPM were processed through the eSOMS software and the computer program did identify the two predetermined work hour violations, (one on May 30, 2010, for a violation of greater than 26 hours3.009259e-4 days <br />0.00722 hours <br />4.298942e-5 weeks <br />9.893e-6 months <br /> in 48 hour5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> period and one on June 4, 2010, for a violation of greater than 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> in a 7 day period); however, it did not identify a violation of Item 3.2.1.A.5.
The procedure requires evaluating any 9 calendar days and it would appear that a violation of the 34 hour3.935185e-4 days <br />0.00944 hours <br />5.621693e-5 weeks <br />1.2937e-5 months <br /> break in any 9 day requirement may occur on June 7, 2010. However, because of evaluating the 34 hour3.935185e-4 days <br />0.00944 hours <br />5.621693e-5 weeks <br />1.2937e-5 months <br /> break in 9-day period at the end of the workday or start of the next work day, not during a non-workday, there is a greater than 34 hour3.935185e-4 days <br />0.00944 hours <br />5.621693e-5 weeks <br />1.2937e-5 months <br /> break for the work hours listed in the JPM. If a candidate determined that a potential violation did occur for this instance it would be a conservative call and would actually need to be verified through the use of the official tracking tool (eSOMS). This would not constitute a failure by the candidate, only an item which would need further evaluation.
