! contained in-plant steps that the applicants believed were to be executed in the control ( room. The applicants were unable to complete the assigned task because the 1 procedure provided weak guidance and the applicants lacked the necessary system l i
'
knowledge required to compensate for the poorly worded procedure. A second j procedure, Abnormal Operating Procedure (AOP) 10A, " Safe Shutdown - Local Control," i contained incorrect valve designators for two auxiliary feedwater valves (AOP 10A, l Attachment C, Step 7A, Result Not Obtained (RNO)). The applicants were able to complete the JPM because of their knowledge of the system and the final, desired valve lineup. The examiners referred these procedure weaknesses to the station's training department for possible revisio Conclusions Station personnel recently revised many of the station's operating and administrative procedures.

05 Operator Training and Qualification )
05.1 General Comments Nuclear Regulator Commission examiners developed and administered operator initial .
license examinations at the Point Beach Nuclear Power Plant to four Reactor Operator (RO) and five Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) applicants during the week of July 16, 1999. All applicants successfully passed all sections of the initial license examinatio The NRC examiners used the guidance prescribed in NUREG 1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors, Rev. 8 April 1999, to prepare and administer the operating test and written examinatio .2 Pre-Examination Activities Scope Nuclear Regulatory Commission examiners developed the examination material using the guidance prescribed in NUREG 1021. Point Beach training department instructors reviewed the material for technical accuracy and plant applicabilit b.- Observations and Findinas Written Examination Training department instructors reviewed the written examination and made a significant l . number of comments on the proposed examination. The instructors' review was i thorough and accurate. The comments provided by the instructors enhanced the quality I and discriminatory value of the written examination. The NRC examiners determined that the majority of corrections made to the written examination were a result of the ,
licensee's procedure revision program that occurred during development of the !
examination.
i !
i Operatina Examination l Training department instructors reviewed the operating test and made several comments on the proposed test. Two administrative JPMs and two operating JPMs were replaced because they were either too lengthy, made poor use of the simulator, or l were not supported by the simulator. The dynamic simulator scenarios were acceptable t with minor modifications.
l The instructors' comments on the operating test enhanced the quality and discriminatory value of the operating test. The instructors were always business-like and professional in their dealings with the NRC examination tea r

. Conclusions
- The facility training staff was well prepared to support the examination process and provided high quality reviews of the written examinations and operating tests.
- 05.3 ' . Examination Activities l Scope l
i The NRC examiners administered the operating test (JPMs and dynamic scenarios)
,
during the week of July 26,1999, and the written examination on August 2,1999. The
, tests were administered using the guidance prescribed in sections ES-302 and ES-402 l of NUREG 1021.
l Observations and Findinas
'
Operatina Test l
!
! The applicants appeared well prepared for the test. They quickly found appropriate procedures when required and normally executed the procedures correctly. Applicants i
. communicated clearly and accurately with only occasional failures to complete repeat-backs; crew briefs were generally good.~ Applicant diagnostic skills were normally accurate. Control board switch manipulations were normally accurate with only a few isolated errors. Senior Reactor Operator command and control skills and knowledge of l technical specifications were good. Reactor Operator ability to use technical specifications was very good.
l
'
The training staff's support of the examination process was noteworthy. Paperwork to support the administration of the operating test was always correct and detailed. Shift tumovers provided by the instructors during the dynamic scenarios were typical of those provided in the control room and added realism to the examination process. The licensee training staff coordinated the arrival times of the applicants and provided escorts to maintain examination security during the ooerating test. The licensee's daily setup and execution of the operating test during the validation and examination weeks was timely and accurat The following weaknesses were observed by the examiners:
Some applicants were not familiar with certain back panel operations and the 1 l locations of back panelinstruments and control ;

Written Examination The written examination was administered on August 2,1999, prior to the management exit meeting. All applicants completed the examination within the allotted five hour Conclusions The applicants were well prepared for the operating test and written examination. In general, they displayed good operating and communicating practices during the operating test. The facility training staff was well prepared to support the examination proces .
05.4 Post Examination Activities Examination Scope The NRC examiners evaluated individual applicant performance on the operating test and the written examination. The examiners also reviewed post en mination comments submitted by the licensee. Examiners followed the guidelines contained in sections ES-303, ES-403, and ES-501, of NUREG 102 Observations and Findinas Job Performance Measures Two generic knowledge deficiencies were discovered while grading the candidates'
performance of the operating JPMs:
-
Sevful applicants were not able to complete a task to start and parallel an emergency diesel generator to its electrical bus using emergency operating procedures. Most applicants not properly completing the procedure did not realize certain steps of the procedure were required to be locally execute Several applicants were not familiar with the location of instruments and controls ;
'
located in the control room's back panels. When the applicants were given a cue by a simulator operator that they could not find the instrument or controller in the remote location, the applicants then realized the desired equipment was in the control room back panels and they correctly completed the assigned tas Dynamic Simulator Scenarios l The NRC examiners did not identify any significant or generic weaknesses during the review of the dynamic simulator scenario test result Written Examinatio_q All of the applicants passed the written examination with scores ranging from approximately 85% to 94% There were five questions that were answered incorrectly by more than 50% of the applicants.

- Manually opan containment ventilation cooler outlet emergency FCV Transitior tc OSP-S.1," Response to Nuclear Power Generation /ATWS." Trip the main fe.ed pumps, place the condensate pumps in PULL OUT, and stop the heater dab pum ANSWER COMMENT:
The answer key should be changed to only accept answer d as the correct answer. Por EOP-0, " Reactor Trip or Safety injection," actions to verify feedwater isolation occur in Step 5. This is the first step after the immediate actions are complete. The actions referred to in answer b are not complete until Step 12 within EOP-0. The actions referred to in answer e are not required at this time per EOP-0, Step 1. Additionally, even if status tree monitoring were implemented on an earlier transition out of EOP-0, the actions referred to in answer c are not required per CSP-ST.0, " Critical Safety Function Status Trees," Figure 1, "ST-1 Suberiticality," based on the information contained in Questien 1 NRC Resolution:
The comment was accepted. This was a typographical error and was discovered by NRC examiners prior to receiving the licensee's comments. The answer was changed to accept only answer d as the correct answe .

I COMMENT:
l The answer key should be changed to only accept answer b as the correct answer. The RO examination question #45 that is the same as SRO question 20 uses answer b as its correct answer. Per the Mollier Diagram, following the constant enthalpy line from 2000 psia saturated conditions to 20 psia (equivalent of 5 psig) and then following up the 20 psia curve to the saturation line, you cross the saturation line at -228' NRC Resolution:

, ' Question #59 (RO); #34 (SRO)
Given the following conditions:
,
,
' A large break LOCA has occurred inside containment Containment pressure initially increased to 30 psig, then began trending down and is currently.10 psig The spray addition tank level has decreased by 20% i What is the current status of the containment spray pumps and valves?
PUMPS DISCHARGE VALVES Running Full open Secured Closed Running Mid-position Secured Full open ANSWER d
Comment:
The question as worded is not clear as to whether any assumptions should be made for operator actions being completed, if the examinee assumes that no operator action has occurred, then the spray system would still be in operation and fully aligned, since there are no conditions which would automatically secure the containment spray pumps, even though containment pressure is below the actuation setpoint (25 psig) and the design quantity (12%) of NaOH has been injected. Under these assumptions, both spray pumps would be running and the discharge valves would be full open. The examinee would select answer a. as correct. If the examinee assumes that a procedure guided operator action has occurred, then the spray system would have been secured in accordance with EOP-1.3, " Transfer to Containment Supm Recirculation," Step 3 (a continuous action). EOP-1.3 would be entered based on a large break LOCA. EOP-1.3, Step 3, checks for containment spray pumps running (Substep a), containment pressure less than 15 psig (Substep b) and spray addition tank level being lowered by at least 12% (Substep c). Since the question states that the last two of these conditions are satisfied, then the examinee would complete the remaining substeps, that reset containment spray signal (Substep d), stop both containment spray pumps (Substep e),
shut the suction MOVs (Substep f), and shut the spray additive tank discharge valves
-
(Substep g). Since EOP-1.3 does not direct shutting the discharge valves, the examinee would select answer d. as correct. The examinee could correctly select either answer a. or d. based on the assumptions made and the lack of clarity in the question with respect to the performance of operator actions. Additionally, based on guidance contained in EOP-1.3, answers b. or c. could not be considered as correct answer l l

NRC Resolution:
The comment was accepted. T he original intent of the question was for an applicant to recognize that after the given conditions were met, an operator would realign the system to meet the desired answer. The answer was changed to accept both a. and d. as correct answer !
4. Question #87 (RO); #62 (SRO)
During a liquid release, which ONE of the following conditions would require compensatory actions to be taken? ; RE-223 out-of-service while discharging radwast i RE-219 and RE-222 out-of-service while SG blowdown in progres ; RE-229 out-of-service during unit operatio RE-230 out-of-service during a retention pond discharg ANSWER Comment:
There are two correct answers for the question as written. The answer key should be changed to accept both answers c. and d. as correct answer This comment is supported by the " Radiological Effluent Control Manual," (RECM)
Section 3.2.2, that states,"If fewer than the minimum number of radioactive effluent monitoring channels are operable, the action statement listed in either Tabel 3-1 or 3-2 opposite the channel shall be taken." Per RECM Table 3-1, RE-229 (Item #3a) and RE-230 (Item #4) are the only monitors available for certain effluent releases. Therefore, if these monitors are out-of-service, the minimum operable channels are not satisfied; therefore, the action statement is applicable. The same note applies in both these
,
situations. Note #3 states, "... effluent releases via this pathway may continue provided that at least once every 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> grab samples are collected and analyzed..." This
'
action satisfies the definition of a compensatory action. With regards to RE-223 (Item
- 1a), RE-219 and RE-222 (Item #2a), since the question looks at each of the distractors separately, the minimum operable channels are still met. Therefore, answers a. and do not require any compensatory action.
l NRC Resolution
!
The comment is accepted in part. The examiners agreed that there were compensatory actions required for distractors c. and d. However, the examiners determined that there were compensatory actions to be taken when any of the radiation monitors referred to in the question were out of service. Although the compensatory act. ions for a. and b. were not tech spec related, they were compensatory actions, and had to be taken. The
,
,
.
.
examiners determined that there were compensatory actions for a, b, c, and d. The question was deleted because all four of the distractors were correc !

The emergency diesel generator monthly surveillance test procedures for G-01, G-02, G-03, and G-04 (TS 81, TS 82, TS 83, and TS 84 respectively) each contain a precaution which requires the suspension of 345kV and 13.8 kV work and testing while testing the diesel generators. This precaution is: Only applicable when 345kV and 13.8 kV work and testing is performed in the vicinity of energized buses, Only applicable when paralleling diesel generators with offsite power when offsite power is unreliable due to weather conditions or other factor Necessary to reduce the probability of a loss of electrical load trip of either unit; the associated 4.16kV fsst-bus-transfer may challenge the overload protectio Necessary to reduce the probability of inadvertently opening the output breaker of the associated diesel generator while an auto-closure signal is present and having to reset the breaker's anti-pumping circuit.

The actions contained in EOP-3 " Steam Generator Tube Rupture" are being executed due to a
- steam generator tube rupture in the "B" steam generator (SG). Operations personnel have just completed the RCS cooldown portion of the EOP. Due to an erroneous temperature reading, the actual RCS temperature is higher than the target temperature in the EOP. What consequences will result from this condition? The pressurizer will go solid following a subsequent depressurizatio The resulting increase in pressure in the ruptured SG will result in lifting the steam line safety valve (s), Loss of RCS subcooling margin before the RCS pressure will have equalized with the ruptured SG pressure.
