AJG-11-1990 11:11 FROM U.Lowell. Rad. Cab. LTO' 13014153313 P.02 3

1 UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS LOWELL ONE UNIVERSITY AVENUE LOWELL, MASSACHUSETTS 01854 l- August i1,1998' p

Mr. Paul Doyle MS O-11 D-19 United States Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555

Dear Mr. Doyle,

L ~

L Thank you for your time and ofTort in the reactor operator and senior reactor operating exams during the week of August 2,1998. It is always a pleasuie to see you. This letter includes the comments I have made on the written licensing exam.

There are three questions on the written exam that I wish to address:

O-=* ion B 14. may have two answers. In addition to the correct answer (d), answer (c) describes the outside surface temp. of a submerged material to reach 190*, with no indication of units. The lack of units makes this question ambiguous. Depending on whether the 190' is degrees Fahrenheit, or Celsius, this answer is either true or false.

l Please either consider question B.14 to have two solutions, or disregard it.

Oawian C 8, in addition to being outside of the expected reactor sp 4or training

~

focus, has a misprint in answer #2. The question should read " cooling to the steam of

boiling water flowing upward.. ." yet on the exam, the woni steam is replaced with stream. This changes the intent of the question (indicating that a stream ofboiling water flows upwards), rendering it false. Please throw out this question.

O=dian c 12, part B has two answers, I and 3. In addition to requiring a gamma monitor and delayed neutron detector to monitor the primary system, the primary loop is sampled daily to determine the pH of the water, please accept both answers as correct.

I wish to also bring a few minor comments to your attention. On page 7, question B.2, please change the word " radioactivity" to " activity" On question B.12, please formally add the value "0.5" in column B (this was donc during the exam, all examinees were aware of the change). On page 13, question C.2, the question should read "of the core locations listed..." please add a space between locations and listed. In addition, the element B3 is a graphite reflector on your drawing. The answer (5) on the answer sheet is incorrect. The correct answer for C.2 should read: d.4 If you require additional information, please do not hesitate to call me at (978) 934-3353

. e incerely yours, bb d vid C. Medich., PhD
