  • Denotes persons attending the exit meeting of August 6, 1987.
2. Examination Schedule Due to difficulties encountered with the licensee's requalification training program, the written exam that was originally scheduled for Monday August 3rd, was delayed to Friday August 7th, to coincide with a planned requalification exam. This was done to allow the NRC's participation in the requalification exam, the details of which are contained in NRC Operator Licensing Report No. 315/0L-87-01 and NRC Inspection Report No. 315(316)/87027(DRS).

The oral examinations were performed on August 4th and 5th with the , written examination being administered the 7th.

3. Examination Observations During the administration of the operating exams, the examiners observed I both generic strengths and weaknesses on the part of Senior Reactor Operator and Reactor Operator candidates.

2

The following candidate strengths were observed:

  • The SRO and RO candidates were very familiar with the Technical )

5 specifications and in general could locate all required LCO's and Action Statements.

                                           -+     The SRO and R0 candidates with one exception were familiar with         i the emergency procedures and were proficient'in their use during the integrated operations portion of the oral exam.                     !

i

  • The candidates knowledge of plant systems'in the auxiliary building was good.

The following candidates weaknesses were observed:

  • Candidates in general, did not use procedures to perform normal evolutions such as power changes.
  • When procedures were used for power changes, the candidates incorrectly used Procedures 4021.001.003 and .006, entitled " Power Reduction and Power Escalation" when Procedures 4021.011.002 and .003 entitled
                                                  " Automatic" and " Manual Reactor Control with Load Variations" should have been used.
  • An Additional weakness was identified with the candidates knowledge of the Westinghouse Radiation monitors, specifically with regard to what indications to expect while using their function selector .

switches.

4. Exit Meeting The examiners met with licensee representatives (denoted in Paragraph 1) on-August 6, 1986, at the conclusion of the oral examinations prior to the written scheduled examinations. The examiners observations i regarding candidate performance during the oral examinations as denoted in Paragraph 3 were summarized. The licensee representatives acknowledged this information. <

i The logistics of the Senior and Reactor Operator replacement and i requalification written examinations scheduled for August 7, 1906, j were also discussed. The licensee's comments on these written exams were provided to the examiners on August 17, 1986, in accordance with agreements made between the Chief Examiner and the Operations Training j Supervisor, after the written examinations were administered. An j evaluation of the facility comments is included as Attachment 1 to this report. I l ! i l l ) i 1 1 ) l 1 l l 3 l 1

SR0 EXAM COMMENTS I COMMENT 5.01

b. ~This question is a good example of applying theoretical knowledge to actual (potential) plant transients. It should be noted that additional variables are added when this is done. In this case,.

the knowledge being tested is "How does Beta Bar Effective change from BOL to E0L, and how does that affect the responsiveness of the reactor." This question, however, addresses a transient condition described in the FSAR which adjusted many variables (such as rcd worth) from BOL to E0L and we request that the candidates not be

                                   . penalized for justifying their answers using these variables.

REFERENCE FSAR 14.2.6, Appendix 14.c (attached). NRC Response: Concur. Candidates will not be penalized for a different justification as long as the justification can be supported by the FSAR. COMMENT 5.02 (a) (3) The generally accepted reason for control rod worth changing with boron concentration is " competition." We request that a discassion of competition be accepted for full credit. REFERENCE Attached Westinghouse internal letter on "Effect on Control Rod Worth of Changes in Soluble Boron, Xenon, and Power Level." NRC Response: Concur. Answer key modify. COMMENT 5.04 Rated thermal power for Unit 1 is 3250 MW and the conversion factor given on Page 2 of the Data Sheet is 1 kW = 3413 BTU /hr. We request the answer key be corrected as follows. Line 1: 5% decay heat = (.05) 3250 MW = 162.5 MW Line 6: 162.5 MW + 15 MW = 177.5 MW (3413 BTU /hr/KW) (1000 KW/MW)

                                                           = 6.06E8 BTU /hr                                 i (1.01E7 BTU / min.)                           (

Line 7: 3.10E7/6.06E8 = .0051 hr ( .0001 hr for rounding) or 3.10E7/1.01E7 = 3.07 min. ( .1 min for rounding) , REFERENCE Unit 1 Technical Specification 1.3. I NRC Response: Concur. Answer key modified. COMMENT 5.05 The question as stated, "What happens to the margin to criticality?", does not elicit a quantity or factor by which the margin changes. We request that full credit be assigned for stating that the margin

                                                               " decreases."

NRC Response: Partially concur. Because the requested modification does not adequately test the concept referenced by the cited K/A's, the question is deleted. COMMENT 5.06 We feel that this question could be misinterpreted due to the fact that early in core life, the rate of change of critical boron concentration (decrease) is much larger than at my other time in core life due to fission product poison. buildup. Ti is rapid decrease precedes the plateau which the stated answer is apparentiy referring to. Please refer to the stated reference (attached), particularly Figure SNP-RF-14: Critical Baron Concentration Curve (Revision 2). We request that you also accept, for full credit, a discussion of wny 1 the critical boron concentration decreases at a much more rapid rate l at 00L than it does at E0L, specifically, at BOL, fission product poisons i are building up, requiring more rapid boron reduction to offset the buildup 1 of poisons and to offset fuel depletion. At E0L, boron reduction is only l required to offset fuel depletion. NRC Response: It is agreed that the question could be confusing if a candidate did not adequately understand the variables that effect critical boron concentration. If a candidate was confused by the question, he was instructed to question a proctor. No such questions arose during the exam. The rapid decrease in boron concentration referred to in the facility comment occurs extremely early in core life. When this amount of total core life is compared to the rest of core life, it becomes microscopic in detail . The question implies L. that this effect is not the one to be discussed. l l I l 2 t__ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

For these reasons, the answer key remains unchanged. No credit will be deducted for a discussion of the rapid initial decrease, as long as the required answer as stated in the key is included. COMMENT. 5.08 1 The question asks the candidate to "Show all work, including any applicable j formulas." The answer requires multiple written variations of the same formula [Q = UA(Tave-Tstm)] for full credit. We request that full credit be given for mental manipulation of the applicable formula as can be demonstrated by substitution of numerical values into the modified formula, i.e., A(1)[567-515] = 0.8a(1)[Tave-515] or an equivalent variation. We also request that the full credit value for the required Tave be accepted if it is within the range of a least 579.5 to 580.5 since the calculation involves steam table interpolation. NRC Response: Full credit will be given if all work is shown and the work method is obviously correct. The range of answers for Tave is modified as requested. COMMENT 5.09 The answer, as keyed, requires specific terminology to be used. We provide two of the several alternate reasonable explanations that should be acceptable. (1) As fluid flows around the bend, the velocity of the fluid increases in the shorter radius (pressure decreases) and the velocity of the fluid decreases in the larger radius (pressure increases), and thus the flow rate is proportional to the square root of the delta P. (2) As fluid flows through the pipe, it tends to maintain its direction unless acted upon by some force (First law of Motion). This force is exerted on the fluid by the wall of the pipe causing its momentum to change as determined by the radius of the bend. As the force changes, so does the pressure since . Flow rate is then proportionaltothesquarerootoftbe_d[eltaP. ~ REFERENCE Mitigating Core Damage Training Manual (Westinghouse) Chapter 6, Pages 6-23 through 6-25 (attached). Lesson plan R0-C-MC06, Vital Process Instrument Response. NRC Response: The alternate answers provided by the facility are considered l equivalent alternate wordings of the original answer key. As such, they will be accepted for full credit. I 3

recognize-'FQ(Z) as the Heat Flux Hot Channel' Factor,'he would have also

                                                                                 ~1ost; points'in Part (b).          This method of questioning should not be used, as stipulated by.ES-202 Paragraph E.13.

A better way of wording the question would have been:

a. Define'the term Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor,.FQ(Z)'

per Technical Specifications Basis Section.

                                    ,                                                 1   b.       List the FOUR items monitored-by the operator to ensure that hot channel factor limits are maintained.

We' request that this be taken into consideration while grading this question and in future' examination questions covering this topic. NRC Response: The wording of Part (a) of the question did not limit x j the range of possible answers-to'a specific area of the- ' Technical Specifications. The original answer is from Technical Specification Bases,=and therefore remains , unchanged. The Paragraph of ES-202 cited by.the facility refers to the use of double jeopardy questions. This question is'not double jeopardy in nature. To correctly answer'Part (b), the candidate had to simply know that FQ(Z) is a hot channel factor of some-kind, and not,the specific definition of FQ(Z) as required for Part a. Therefore, a correct answer for Part (a) is not required to obtain full credit for Part (b) and thus the question and answer remain unchanged. COMMENT 5.11

a. The Unit of differential rod worth used at D.C. Cook is pcm/ step and we request that common units be used in exam questions. l The keyed answer is incorrect in that a value of .00767 was used in-the calculation for Beta Bar Effective when the question specifies .00596 be used. The correct answer is -0.187 dpm. q 1

Additionally, a candidate may try to account for the power change ~l during the 25 seconds that the rods are in motion (48 steps per minute, 20 steps). Since determining the power drop would require use of equations not provided, the candidate could reasonably assume

                                                                                        . a.6.5E-8 amps be accepted for full credit.                                      ,

[P = (10E-8)(10E( .187)(1.417))] 4 i _ _ _ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _ _ _ - - _ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _ _ _ _ l

L NRC Response: While is reasonable to expect that candidates be able to perform simple math manipulations to place data given in a question into , units commonly used at the facility we concur that it is not a  ! required knowledge. The section requiring manipulation of the value of differential rod worth remains unchanged for the purposes of this exam as it has no effect on the pass / fail rate of the candidates. This will not be a requirement for credit 'j on future exams. The answer key is modified to use the correct value of Beta Bar Effective. The facility is correct regarding the use of equations not

                             .provided for Part (b). However, it is not valid to assume a constant startup rate over the entire time span stated in the question. Based on the fact that not enough information was provided to correctly answer this question, Part (b) is deleted, and the point value is adjusted accordingly.

COMMENT 5.12 This question is subject to interpretation as to which charging flow rate is to be evaluated and the keyed answer states that you will accept other answers if supported by viable assumptions. Question 5.12, Attachment 1 identifies other possible answers and their calculations. We request that any of the following answers be accepted for full credit. NRC Response: As stated in the original answer, other methods will be accepted if supported by viable assumptions. The facility comment simply restates this. As such, the answer key remains unchanged. COMMENT 5.13 The introductory sentence of the question is a paraphrase of a sentence from T.S. Basis which states " SHUTDOWN MARGIN requirements vary throughout core life as a function of fuel depletion, RSC boron concentration and RCS Tavg." T.S. then goes on to say that the most restrictive condition is the steam line break at EOL and a minimum of 1.6% K/K is required to control this reactivity transient. The required SHUTDOWN MARGIN of 1.6% K/K is required at BOL as well as EOL and does not change over core life.

                % better way to word the question may be:
                        "In determining the SHUTDOWN MARGIN by Tech. Specs, B0L and EOL conditions were analyzed. Which time in core life was more restrictive? Why?"

5

This question requires the candidate to explain why a T.S. LC0 changes over. core life, when it doesn't change. This type of question should be' avoided as per Paragraph 4.5.1(5) of NUREG 1121 (DRAFT 9/85) and we

                              . request that it be deleted.

NRC Response: The clarification made during the course of the exam made it clear that the LC0 does not change over core life, Lut that the analysis did change over core life. It was also made clear that a discussion of the LC0 was not desired, and that a discussion of the Technical Specification Basis analysis was required. The question and answer remain unchanged. COMMENT 6.02

c. Shutdown bank rod speed is "62" steps per minute. (From Page 11 of 24 of the referenced document).

NRC Response: Answer key will be modified. COMMENT. 6.03

a. The following additional Unit 2 main feedwater pump trips are supplied in addition to those keyed. Unit 2 has two different diverse Lubricating 011 trips. Refer to attached functional ,

diagram (Dwg. 2-5627).

10. L.0. Pressure < 60% Normal
11. L.0. Pressure < 40% Normal
b. The question is general in nature but appears to assume in its answer that all steps have been completed in Procedure CHP-4021.055.003 (Placing MFP and MFP Turbine in Service) up to Step 6.4 (Prepare the FPT for Service). If the SR0 does not make this assumption, he is liable to supply other additional correct answers found in previous steps in the procedure, particularly from Step 4.9 of the PRECAUTIONS which provide conditions that must be satisfied to enable turbine startup. (Resetting reactor trip breakers, emergency trip device, operating device, etc.) The procedure that governs the answer is much more in detail than the lesson plan used to develop the answer key. We request that any correct actions provided by the SR0s that answer the question and come from OHP 4021.055.003 should be allowed for full credit.

NRC Response: a. Answer key will be modified to accept Unit 2 FW Pump Trips. i

b. Do not concur. Step 4.9.1 of Procedure OHP 4021.055.003 specifically delineates the three actions which must be taken to reset the turbine trips.

COMMENT 6.04-L c. The erroneous startup rate'('SUR) listed as one of two problems in. L the answer key is an extremely insignificant problem when compared to the "two"' problems in answer,Part c.2 (Limited overlaps - inability-

                           .to block SR level trip). The error introduced by the overcompensation of:IR detectors will~ be below their " idling' current";for the majority of the startup;and will not be sensed by the SUR circuit. If no overlap- orivery little overlap is seen during the startup, taking.

K into account the low startup rates used by operators-(0.1 to 04 3 dpm , typically near criticality), the SUR' error will not be observable by using the meters in the control room.- In addition,.since the difference'in the-'! rate of change" in level of'a properly compensated channel.and an overcompensated channel is very small, the observable

'SUR would p.robably never be_ determined on control room meters.

Furthermore, if the SR trip could not be a blocked, IR range SUR

                          -would never indicate as it would be below the sensitivity of-IR level output due to '! idling current" of the IR.
                        .We request that these factors be taken into account during grading-of this question'and further recommend that the answer key be modified as follows:
c. (Any two @ 0.375 each)
                                       '1. Limited SR to IR overlap.                                 '
2. Inability to block SR high level trip.
3. Possible erroneous IR SUR indication.

NRC_ Response: The answer key will be modified to not require " erroneous start-up rate" as an answer to the question. The point value of the question will.be reduced and will be; revised to accept any two of the above answers at .25'each. COMMENT- 6.05

a. One purpose of the Containment Hydrogen Recirculation /" Hydrogen Skimmer" (CEQ) fans is to draw air from the upper containment and distribute this air to the vicinity of the hydrogen recombiners.

We request that the CEQ fans be an alternate answer to receive full credit for this question,

b. Please note that the " Temperature Set Controller" is never used to adjust temperature (see referenced lesson plan). In all plant Surveillance and Abnormal Operating Procedure (OHP 4030.STP.013, OHP 4022.034.004 and THP 4030.STP.206 - Performance section STP) only the " Power Adjust Potentiometer" is used to adjust heater temperature.

I I 7 1-_ __ _ _ _ __ i

l l NRC Response: a. Answer key will be modified to also accept CEQ Fans,

b. Answer key will be modified to reflect facility comment.

The facility learning objectives should be modified to better reflect actual plant use of the Temperature I Controller. l COMMENT 6.06 ) a. The question does not solicit the answer in the detail required by the answer key for full credit. A sufficient answer should be

                                      " Generated by a reactor trip" or " Reactor trip breekers open." In order to obtain the keyed answer, two suggestions are provided for future question modification at this facility.

(1) How is Reactor Trip Permissive (P-4) generated? (BE SPECIFIC) (2) How is Reactor Trip Permissive (P-4) generated? (Included any logic or coincidence.)

b. We request that answer key part (2), (3) and (4) have the following placed ir, parentheses and not be required for full credit.

(1) Feeds feedwater isolation (coincident w/ Low-Tavg) (2) Blocks closed FRVs (when closed by SI or Hi-Hi S/G 1evel) (3) Feeds SI (block / reset) logic NRC Response: a. Do not concur. Per Functional Diagram 98512-5, P-4 is generated only when a reactor trip breaker and its bypass breaker are open. Partial credit was already allowed for the answer " Reactor Trip."

COMMENT 6.08 This question may be interpreted in two ways by the SR0 candidate. The first way to understand the question is to ask "What is the basis for 1) Normal pressurizer spray flowrate (* 800 gpm) and 2) pressurizer spray valve bypass flowrate (* 2gpm total). The second interpretation of this question would be that it asks "What is the basis for the minimum and maximum pressurizer spray flowrate (800 gpm nominal)?" The FSAR provides that the spray flow must be at least enough (minimum) to mitigate the step power reduction of 10% that is keyed in the answer. No basis is provided for the maximum flowrate but it is 8

That question does specify the number of responses i required. I 1' REFERENCE DCC FSAR, Pages 4.2-6 and 7 (attached). NRC Response: Partially concur. The answer key will be revised to accept the suggested alternate answers in the facility comment. Credit will be awarded based upon the assumptico the candidate 3 makes when answering the question. No extra credit wiii be awarded if the candidate supplies only one of the " minimum bases" in reference to the snray valve bypass flow of 2 gpm. COMMENT 6.09 I The answer key for this question specifically mentions " positioning air will be vented" which causes steam dump valve to clone. The question did not solicit this type of detail concerning steam dump valve operation. We request that full credit be given for statements similar to "Vhen  ; temperature reaches 541 F (or P-12), all steam dump will close."  ; NRC Response: No credit will be taken away for an answer that does not , specifically refer to positioning air.being vented.

COMMENT- 6.12 Because the initial conditions specify the 1E ESW Pump is in lockout, omission of automatic actions related to this pump from answers provided by examinees indicates that they know the pump will not start. We-request that full credit be given for answers that-only identify actual automatic actions which occur as a result of an SI under these conditions. Because the question relates to a Unit 1 SI. signal, examinees may not specifically mention start signal to Unit.2 ESW pumps as implied by the "All" statement in the answer key. We request that no points be lost by examinees who listed only U1 ESW system responses. Other actions will occur that are indirectly related to those signals generated by the . equipment response to the SI signal, i.e., opening of the ESW Pp discharge i valve on a pump start, opening of the Emergency D/G'ESW supply valve in response to a D/G running signal. We request that points not be taken 1 off for listing these additional automatic actions. i 10

COMMENT- 6.14 The questions and answers, as written, require the examinees to make assumptions on the positions of the west ring header iso'iation valves RPV-11 and PRV-21. It appears that the question writer assumed the west ring header valves to be closed in Part (a) and open in Parts (b), (c), and (d). Without knowledge of the question writer's assumption, examinees could not answer all parts of this question correctly. The one exception to this would be Part (d) which would be FALSE. We request

                .that Parts (a), (b), and (c) be deleted from the exam and a reassignment of point valve be made making Part (d) worth 1 point rather than 0.5.

This reassignment of point values is to avoid increasing the effective point values of the remaining questions in this exam category. REFERENCE OP-12-5120-6 Flow Diagram Compressed-Air System (Key Plan) (attached). NRC Response: After reviewing the supplied drawing, the answer for Part (a) of-the question has been changed to false. No part of this question will be deleted as this question was very explicit in that it specified the position of only PRV-20 and PRV-10 and no other valves. COMMENT 6.15 Part (c) of this question asked the reason for having a maximum power level above which lower ice condenser access is forbidden, The question does not ask for any specific type of radiation hazard. The answer key < contains " Neutron dose consideration." While neutron dose is of concern, the reason for having limited access is to avoid excessive radiation exposure. This includes neutron and gamma dose. We request the answer key be modified to allow full credit for any of the following: I Neutron Dose l Gamma Dose I Gamma Does for N M gamma l ALARA considerations i High Radiation Levels ] (Or similar wording) j l 1 I 11 l o

NRC Response: The answer key wn1 be modified.to accept "High Radiation Levels" or equivalent wording. In additici. the answer key will be revised to.also accept a power level of 10% for the first'part of (c) as was discussed between the chief examiner and your training staff. COMMENT '7.03 We request that "2 out of 4 power range channels > 10% power to satisfy P-10" also be accepted for full credit. NRC Response: Answer key modified.' COMMENT 7.04 For Parts (a), (b), and (c) inclusive, we request that an indication as l to whether the specified permissive allows a manual block of a trip or instates an automatic block of a trip should not be required for full credit. The question wording requires the students to list (state) all defeated trips (both manual and automatic), but does not request that the student enumerate which trips are blocked by which method.

a. For Part (a), we request that you accept for full credit " Source Range Reactor Trip."
b. For Part (b), we request that you also accept for full credit, wording similar to that employed in R0-C-NSil-SH03 (appended as-a reference to 7.03) and restated as follows:

(Reference-4021.028.001 " Upper Compartment Ventilation" k Step. 6.1.1. ) NOTE: A fourth fan may be started as r to maintain containment temperature. necessa'y (4) Upper containment ventilation' heating on. Refer to CHP 4021.028.001 6.1.2 Upper containment Ventilation heating-should be initiated if. upper containment temperature < 75 F (therefore, heaters may have been left on inadvertently) and 6.1.3 Place Upper Containment Ventilation heaters in AUTO (a malfunction of heater control thermostat may have caused the heaters to energize at a higher setpoint). (5) Upper compartment supplied with purge and heating steam valved in to purge supply units. NRC Response: The first three of the five comments simply reiterate the answers in the answer key. Comments four and five will be incorporated into the answer Key, COMMENT 7.06 We request that the allowable range for a full credit answer be extended to .6 - 1.0 Rad /hr for the .7 + .1 Rad /hr range allowed by the answer key. The actual scale width spanned by the .6 - 1.0 range is 2.5/32 inch (* 2 mm). The intersection of the 610 meter dose rate scale is the result of the third line drawn on the nomograph. Several five (5) attempts by the reviewer to ascertain replication of the keyed answer resulted in the following data: Three results - * .8 R/hr (Note: The keyed answer is lower as the point of origin for !ine 2 is slightly to the right of scale 3). 1 result - slightly less than .7 R/hr 1 result - 1.0 R/hr 13

l These.results were obtained using conditions similar to those which. the students would have been required to employ during the exam. (i .e, the use of the cardboard backing from a pad of writing paper as a straight-edge since no straight-edges were provided and a slightly dulled pencil point since this was the third sequential section of the exam.) Using

                                       .8 R/hr as the midpoint (the most frequently obtained result), a variation of one scale graduation on either side results in the
                                       .6 - 1.0 range. An answer on either end of this range represents a cumulative error of 1 mm from the midpoint. As Scale No. 7 represents the third sequential scale intersection determined in this problem, an error of .33 mm for each scale intersection would accumulate to a total error of 1 mm for the final reading.

The requested range does not impact the classification of the event. PMP 2080.EPP.101, " Emergency Classification" ECC 19 " Radiation Releases" requires that measured or projected dose rates of 250 mR/hr whole body at the site boundary be classified as a General Emergency. Thus, for all results within this' .6 - 1.00 Rad /hr range, a Protective. Action Recommendation (PAR) would be required to be developed based on the duration of the release and the resulting projected dose. If the 8-hour 4.8 Rem Whole Body (.6 x 8) to 8.0 Rem Whole Body (1.0 x 8). Projected dose rates above 5 Rems Whole Body require a precautionary evacuation for a two mile radius and sheltering five miles downwind. A projected dose rate just 5 Rem Whole Body requires sheltering in a two mile radius and five miles- downwind. However, the result obtained form the given nomograph does not constitute the 610 meter dose rate as, at a minimum, the 610 meter dose rates from Unit 2's plant vent, both Unit l's and Unit 2's steam jet air exhaust and both Unit l's and Unit 2's gland steam exhaust must be added to obtain the actual site boundary dose rate. Therefore, even at the low end of the range (.6 Rad /hr), once the other release points are added, and, taking into account the points listed on Page 1 of the protective action recommendation flowchart, the PAR would be appropriate to protect the public. NRC Response: The problem was designed to determine the methodology of calculating the initial dose assessment and was not wholly dependent upon an exact numerical solution for credit. The answer key was modified to accept 0.8 +/-02 R/hr. COMMENT 7.08 We request that (in addition to the keyed response) full credit be allowed for any of the following listed responses: Piping or equipment damage. Thermal stressing of piping.  ; l 14

1 l j The potential problems resulting from a steam trap remaining isolated for 1 an excessive period of time can be divided into two areas of discussion: ) (1)- The problems which would ensue if this trap is unisolated too quickly. ] l (2) The problems which would ensue if this trap remained isolated l indefinitely with no: provisions made to bypass it. The answer key reference from the body of the procedure (Section 4.1.1.8) lists an immediate event (water hemmer) which would ensue in Case 1 above. The consequences of the water hammer are the problems which are to be I avoided. These consequences are downstream piping or component damage and/or failure resulting from the mechanical shock created by the water hammer. Furthermore, the piping immediately upstream of the trap which has collected the relatively cooler water would be subjected to thermal stress when it is purged by the flow of warmer steam when trap is quickly unisolated. Case 2 above is also addressed by this precaution which requires logging of isolated equipment on Table No. 1 of CHP 4021.001.001. This table is entitled " Equipment Out Of Service Due To Heatup." As initial condition (3.1) of this procedure requires completion of Data /Signoff Sheet 5.1. Line Item No. 14 on Data /Signoff Sheet 5.1 requires that the Main Steam System be lined up in accordance with OHP 4021.051.001 " Placing the Steam Generators and Main Steam System In Service." The key point states that this lineup must be completed prior to heating and pressurizing this system. Since this lineup requires steam traps to be unisolated, Table No. I serves as a record of which traps must be returned to service or manually bypassed in order to prevent water backup into main steam lines with resulting erosion problems. NRC Response: Alternate answers are acceptable. COMMENT 7.10 An alternative full credit answer is contained in a caution proceeding OHP 4021.FR-H.1, Response to Loss of Secondary Heat Sink. An entry condition is "from E-0, Step 8, when minimum Auxiliary Feedwater flow is not verified." The caution states that RCPs should be tripped (and bleed and feed immediately initiated) if: ,

  • Any 3 S.G.'s < 8% W.R.

OR

  • Pressurizer Pressure > 2335 psig due to loss of sec.ondary heat sink.

(This action is not required by the referenced procedure which only addresses a failed controlling channel, but would be required by the Tripping of Protection Set Bistables Procedure and by Technical Specifications).

NRC Response: Because the requested modification does not adequately test the I concept referenced by the cited K/A's the question is deleted. L 1 16 l

COMMENT 7.16 a, The question, as stated, asks why adverse conditions require the use of alternate setpoints to implement the ERGS. The question does not request a discussion of what those adverse conditions are. We request the following alternative correct response be awarded full credit (in addition to the keyed response).

                         " Instrument errors may become excessive due to radiation or temperature concerns."
b. The wording in Question 7.16(b) implies that, since adverse conditions were declared due to radiation, containment pressure is not at its adverse setpoint. Therefore, we request that the answer key be modified so that " containment pressure less than 1.1 psig' not be required for full credit.

In addition, we request that the answer key be further modified to allocate full credit for either of the following correct response: ,

  • For adverse conditions declared due to the Containment dose rate exceeding 10 5 R/hr, the plant engineering staff (Plant EvaluationTeam.-PET)mustassesstheintegrateddoserate.

If the integrated dose rate is less than 10 Rads, then normal instrument values may be used. (It is not necessary to have a dose rate < 105 R/hr to reinstate normal values), j

  • If the integrated dose setpoint has been reached, then adverse conditions are used until the instrument is replaced.

NRC Response: a. Do not concur. The proposed alternate answer is simply a statement of why alternate setpoints are used. The question specifically asked for a brief explanation as to why alternate instrument setpoints are used. This request for  ! an explanation should have indicated to the candidates that l a more in-depth answer was desired.  ;

b. Do not concur. Because adverse conditions were declared due to radiation and not containment pressure does not imply that the containment pressure did not exceed the limit at a later time. When exiting adverse containment conditions, all criteria must be evaluated prior to returning to the " Normal" instrument setpoints.

NRC Response: Comment accepted. Answer key modified for Part (a) so that pressure setpoints are 375 1 22 psig for Unit 1 and 425 i 15 for Unit 2. The facility is requested to correct the lesson plans submitted to the NRC to make the pressure setpoints consistent throughout. COMMENT 2.07 We request that Item 1 of the answer key be modified to allow full credit as stated or "Either unit vent radiation monitor (VRS-1500 or VRS-2500) not' alarming (high)."- Rad monitors numbers not required. REFERENCE Print OP-98311 (attached). NRC Response: Comment not accepted. The reference submitted with the comment by the facility clearly shows that both unit. vent radiation monitors must not be alarming as a prerequisite to opening RRV-306. Therefore, the answer key is modified so that Part 1 reads "Both unit vent radiation monitors must not be alarming."

NRC Response: The question clearly asked for loads from the unit HEADERS. It then asks for which HEADER Supplies the load and gives the list of possible correct answer that will be accepted. As acknowledged in the facility comment, the cited reference lists loads from tea unit headers. Thus the original reference and question are consistent. The references provided with the facility comment support the original reference in showing that the original ar.swer key is correct. While it is.0. rue that the supplies for the unit NESW headers can be cross-connected, this Information is not required for credit on this question, nor was it elicited in the wording of the question. The question was very specific in requesting the header designation for supplying the load, and not which unit's LLSW pump supplies the load. Indeed, the word " pump" never appeared in the question. The list of additional loads requested by the facility to be included in.the answn; key are supplied from the NESW miscellaneous header. This is supported by both the original reference and the additional reference material submitted with the facility comment. Again, the question clearly asks for loads from the UNIT headers, which excludes loads from the miscellaneous header. For the above listed reasons, the antwer key remains

                                   ' unchanged.'

NRC Response: During the administration of the exam, candidates questioned the use of the words " Turbine trip system pressure."

                        'for.the question is appropriately adjusted.

Test questions are written to be placed as high on this hierarchy as possible. Rewriting the question as suggested by the facility would move the question from Category 4 (analysis and deduction) to Category 1 (knowledge and recall). This is undesirable and                                                                         i therefore the question will remain unchanged.

COMMENT 3.04 The question and answer are not technically correct, apparently due to a misunderstanding of the interrelationship between P-13 and P-7 in the reactor protection scheme. Only ONE input channel to P-13 is necessary to given an output. Only ONE input channel (P-13 _o_r P-10) to P-7 is necessary to given an output from P-7. An output from P-7 coincident with a standing turbine trip signal (from 4/4 stop valves closed in this scenario) will result in the reactor trip breakers opening. With C&I performing repairs on the FIRST failed channel, the withdrawal of Shutdown Banks and should never have been initially authorized by the SRO. Allowing C&I to test the SECOND channel would be totally unsatisfactory with a 1/2 coincidence. All candidates should exhibit an adequate knowledge of P-13 in their answer, but we highly recommend extreme latitude in grading this question based on the above discussion. REFERENCE R0-C-NS11 composite functional diagram of P-7, P-10, and P-13. (Previously supplied, attached for convenience.) NRC Response: Question deleted. COMMENT 3.07 1 As a general comment, the questien does_not solicit a particular detail of answer. A candidate with a lot of time, could write several pages - one limited in time could answer as follows: "S/G level: Remains unchanged at 44% throughout" "Feedwater: Pump speed increases to meet increased flow demand." The question apparently expects the candidate 6

E e l o ,' [ l- { to assure that a STEP load increase has occurred in order to get the response the answer key requires. Step load increase are avoided in g plant ' operations and only. occur at a rate of about once per year for l L both units a D.C. Cook - Step load increases would not be an expected 1 assumption. If a step load increase is assumed, the feedwater level j control response in the answer key is^still incorrect. The first ' indication of a step load increase is S/G level INCREASE due to level swell. - A suggested substitute answer, if a step increase in power -is assumed, is as follows:

                 " Steam flow increases (and steam pressure decreases which will cause S/G    ,

1evel to swell). The increase in steam flow will cause the FRV to open (level error is " lagged" in the circuit to minimize the effect of shrink and swell). Steam flow and feed flow will become matched after a short period of time and S/G will remain at its program level of 44% (20 to-100% power program)." The answer for Main Feedwater system response in the key is viewed on a microscopic level. For a step change power increase, this answer is more - appropriate than it would be for a ramp up power increase. The Main Feed Pump response to a ramp up power would be as follows:

                 "As feed demand and feedpump AP program increasec, the feedpump control system will increase feedpump speed (and maintain the AP program)."

Under actual operating conditions at D.C. Cook, a ramp power increase is a " straight line" trend on S/G chart recorders and meters. No oscillations will be seen in a normal ramp up power. We ask that latitude in grading be given for this question based on the preceding discussion, especially in light of the question not specifying degree of detail required in the answer. REFERENCE R0-CO-PG11 (previously supplied) NRC Response: It is inappropriate to assume that this question assumed a st :p load change. In addition, during the administration of the exam, all candidates were told to disregard the effects of shrink and swell. However, it is agreed that the original answer provided was inaccurate. Therefore, the answer is changed to read:

                             " Total steam flow will increase (.5), causing program delta P to increase (.5), which causes MFP speed to increase (.5).

This will increase feed flow (0.5), causing steam generator level to remain constant at programmed level (.5)." The total point value of this question is adjusted as indicated. 7

COMMENT '3;09 ~ '

                       -The question is' very straight forward. arid clear as to its. required answer. We'do,.however,-request that " VARIABLE" or " RAMPED with POWER".be an' acceptable setpoint for the Unit.1 steam flow value.
             ^
                 ; REFERENCE lNot; applicable.-

NRC. Response: As acknowledged in the facility comment, the question clearly stated that a setpoint was required. "Setpoint" implies that a-number .is . required, thus " variable'.' .or " ramped" are inappropriate responses to the question. As indicated in the answer,'any. setpoint stated by a candidate that is within'the required range will be accepted for full credit. The answer key remains unchanged.

  .L             'COMM:NT. 3.10
b. Because'the question implies that.C-7A'and/or C-78 (the load rejection bistables) have been made up in stating "on a: load rejection," candidates may. assume they are not required to restate-in their answer what the question implies. Also,.during a load rejection and for a short time thereafter, until the rod control system acts to match Tave to Tref, this greater than 5 temperature deviation will exist. This again, from the candidates point of view, may be implied by the question and may not need to be restated.
                             'Considering both of'these points, candidates may assume the only additional requirement other than C-9 is that the ON/0FF switches

                             -the answer key lists three correct responses, yet the question does not specifically address how many responses are required to receive full credit for this question. .If the question were worded ". . .

what three other conditions in' addition to C-9 . . .," this would have cued the candidates that C-7A.and/or C-78, a temperature deviation'and Tave greater than 541 F would be the logical choices. The question did, however, ask for " conditions" which indicates'more

                             -than one response is required.

We request the answer. key be modified as follows:

b. 1. C-7A (accept explanation)
2. C-78 (accept explanation)

L 3. Tave greater than 541 F-p. 8 i.

p- ). i .

4. 'Tave greater than Tref
5. Both Steam Dump switchesin "0N" E (Any 2'.of the above .375 pts each)'
c. If a candidate. assumes that Tave is less than 541 F, then one of-the required conditions for steam dump operation would place the steam dump in bypass interlock. We request the answer key be modified as follows:
c. 1. Tave greater than 541 F
2. Steam pressure (UPC-101) greater than setpoint
3. Bypass interlock if Tave is less than 541 F (Any 2 of the above .25 pts each)

NRC Response: Part 6: The question did not state the magnitude of the load rejection; therefore,-it is inappropriate to assume that C-7A or C-78 is present, since not all load rejections will trip the load rejection bistables. Also, not all load rejections will result in a temperature error greater than 5 degrees. Therefore,-the answer remains unch'anged. Part c: The question was meant to preclude bypass interlock as a way to get steam dumps open; howeve- it is agreed that this is not clearly stated. The answer key is modified as follows:

                         "1. Steam pressure greater than setpoint (.25) and (either of the following at .25)
2. Tave greater than 541 F
3. Bypass interlock if Tave is less than 541 F" COMMENT 3.11 j
a. The answer for this question is dependent upon whether P-7 is viewed as a blocking circuit or a permissive circuit. Either approach is acceptable but the setpoints and coincidences are different.

If you assume P-7 blocks the seven reactor trips, then the following results: P-7: Blocks trip if it does not have input from both P-10 and P-13.  ; 9 i

Response: The question specifically stated " permissive P-7." Therefore it is inappropriate in this question.to view P-7 as a " blocking circuit." Also, the facility comment makes no. specific .i recommendation for changing the answer key. For these reasons, the answer key remains unchanged.

o, . . Respondents' indicating that Aux. Building evacuation would accompany the PA announcement of occurrence of a fuel handling accident in the spent fuel storage area should not be penalized for this' inclusion. Evacuation would be performed as a response to Immediate Action 4.2.2 (attached). Point value assigned to Question 4.02 (3.00) when compared with the value i of Question 4.03 (1.50) appears inappropriate for the Importance assigned l by the K/A catalog. In accordance with NUREG-1122, the immediate actions for which an R0 is responsible following a fuel handling accident in the SFP area has an importance of 2.8, while the immediate actions for a loss of all AC have an importance of 4.1. In the interest of fairness in appraising the required knowledges and abilities of the reactor operator candidates, we: request the point values of Q.4.02 and Q4.03 be adjusted to reflect the level of importance: Q.4.02 Adjusted from 3.0 points to a value of 1.8 pts. Q.4.03 Adjusted from 1.5 points to a value of 2.7 pts. This adjustment will not affect overall category point value. REFERENCE K/A Catalog: PWR Page 3.7 - 20.1 and 3.11-11 (attached). NRC Response: The question specifically asked for the immediate actions required to be carried out by control room personnel. The Shift Supervisor is not normally considered part of the control room staff. However, if Shift Supervisor immediate actions are included in the response, and are correct, credit will not be removed. In order to gain full credit for the answer, the candidate must include all answers listed on the answer key, in addition to any other answers included being correct in accordance with the cited procedure. The answer key. remains unchanged. K/A values are used to determine what arees are to be included in an exam, as well as a basis for point'value assigned to a question. However, the K/A value is not the sole criteria for assigning point value to a specific question. ES-202 l Paragraph E.14 gives guidance on assigning point values for  ! questions. It is felt that the original point values assigned j to Questions 4.02 and 4.03 are appropriate based on the depth of answer required.

a. Heat Sink, FR-H.1, would be a red path on the Critical Safety Function Status Tree F-0.3, " Heat Sink." The answer cites FR-H.2 which is entered on a yellow path from F-0.3. It is suggested that responses identifying FR-H.1 as a red path procedure and answering (2, 3, 4, 6, 5) be given full credit. In addition, the question directs respondents to list the order that these procedures would be performed in if all the procedures were to be used. The wording may cause some respondents to list (1), Subcriticality, as the sixth and final procedure to be performed because of the direction provided in the question. We request that no credit should be lost by respondents as a result of listing (1) as the last to be performed.

NRC Response: Comment noted. There is no facility recommendation for change,:therefore, the answer key remains unchanged. COMMENT 4.11-This question requires several detailed responses specific to W. % and responsibilities at the SR0 level for full credit. The Shift Supervisor , .is the-sole-individua1'with the authority.to dispatch people to guard all control of isolation points. We request that no credit should be lost by respondents for citing the SS (Shift Supervisor) as having responsible authority. Additionally, we request consideration be given for responses indicating. that="a Clearance Permit should be hung as.soon as possible." This statement, included in Paragraph.3.1.1.1, might be interpreted as a required limitation to the exception-for emergencies. Responses addressing minor adjustments and troubleshooting may include

                            '.'or pressurized" together with " energized" and we request that no credit should be deducted for-this inclusion. Responses which reference " Job Orders" instead of "PMI-2290" thould be acceptable for credit as PMI-2290 is the Job Order instruction, and is cited on Page 2 of 18, PMI-2110 (attached).

NRC Response: R0's as well as SR0's should be aware of tagging requirements as indicated by the cited K/A. No additional reference 'is included to support the facility statement that this question is at the SR0 level. Therefore, the question and answer remain unchanged. No credit will be deducted for citing that the Shift Supervisor has responsibility. However, if a complete explanation of requirements is not given as indicated, credit will be I deducted. " Pressurized" is analogous to " energized", as are-

                                         " Job Orders" and "PMI-2290", and thus will be accepted for full credit. No credit will be deducted for stating that                         .
