Instructions:

1. Check the applicant level and enter the operating test number and Form ES-D-1 event numbers for each event type; TS are not applicable for RO applicants. ROs must serve in both the at-the-controls (ATC) and balance-of-plant (BOP) positions. Instant SROs (SRO-I) must serve in both the SRO and the ATC positions, including at least two instrument or component (I/C) malfunctions and one major transient, in the ATC position. If an SRO-I additionally serves in the BOP position, one I/C malfunction can be credited toward the two I/C malfunctions required for the ATC position.
2. Reactivity manipulations may be conducted under normal or controlled abnormal conditions (refer to Section D.5.d) but must be significant per Section C.2.a of Appendix D. (*) Reactivity and normal evolutions may be replaced with additional instrument or component malfunctions on a one-for-one basis.
3. Whenever practical, both instrument and component malfunctions should be included; only those that require verifiable actions that provide insight to the applicants competence count toward the minimum requirements specified for the applicants license level in the right-hand columns.
4. For licensees that use the ATC operator primarily for monitoring plant parameters, the chief examiner may place SRO-I applicants in either the ATC or BOP position to best evaluate the SRO-I in manipulating plant controls.

Changed P1 question to meet K/A.

1 F 2 N U I think it has a subset issue. If B is true, A is true.

Chang to ask for a maximum drop time.

Added maximum to P2 question to correct subset issue.

SAT If the RCP is tripped IAW step 16ff there is no procedure direction to close a spray valve. Change to ask the relationship between RCPs and spray valves. Moved AP-9.00 ref. from question to P1.

Changed Part 2 to question relationship between 2 F 2 N E RCPs and Spray valve.

Second part is clumsy. Change to ___ spray valve must be closed when 1-RC-P-1A is tripped.

Changed second part as noted.

SAT a minimum boron of should say a minimum boron 3 F 2 N E concentration of. Added concentration to P1.

SAT This question does not test the Effects of boron saturation on ion exchanger behavior i.e. What happens differently when saturated vs. not saturated.

Also has subsset issues. If A is true, so is B. Same with C and D. Changed Q to better meet K/A.

Question stem changed by asking effect of changing 4 H 2 X X N U temp for a demin bed that has been in service and is boron saturated. This tests knowledge of change in boron saturation. Changed P2 to eliminate subset by asking for maximum allowed difference in boron allowed.

SAT 5 H 2 N S Change to ask for the first SI signal actuated.

6 H 4 N E Changed P1 to ask for first SI signal.

SAT 7 H 2 N S

The question gives that the initiating event is a loss of flow and asks the applicant to determine that the cause of the trip is loss of flow.

Change the initial condition to a power level closer to (but above) P-8.

Perhaps 2-part. First part, is cause of trip. RCS flow 15 F 2 N E or SG level. Second part, Is this indicated by color or flashing rate.

The reason for the RCP trip is window dressing.

Changed power level in stem of question to 40%.

Changed to 2-part question. P1 asks for annunciator that caused reactor trip. P2 asks for color of First out annunciator.

SAT Do not diagnose in stem (LBLOCA). Replaced LBLOCA with indications that would be present; Crew enters AP-16.00 (Initial); RCS pressure 150 psia and lowering (Current).

Subset. If A is true, B is true. Say minimum action required. Also, since the justification for the distractor 16 H 2 N E is that a different pump requires CLS to be reset, that seems like a more credible distractor (Reset CLS, place control switch in PTL.

Changed Part 2 to What is minimum action required Changed distractor A2 and C2 as noted above.

SAT 17 H 2 N S 18 H 2 B S to minimize the time required to repressurize the RCS is not a credible distractor. What is the link between continued RCP operation and time to 19 F 2 X B E subsequently repressurize? Changed C2 and D2 distractor to a more credible distractor that relates to Seal DP.

SAT One only needs to know the definition of the word median to get the second half correct. Suggest you ask about control response (or lack of control response). Changed P2 to ask about Control Rods.

20 H 2 X N E Change from asking what will happen to asking what should happen.

Changed P2 question to Should control rods move?

SAT

Do not diagnose in the stem (SBLOCA). Just give observable info the applicant needs to answer the 21 F 2 N E question. Deleted small break LOCA. Added bullet to indicate RCS pressure is 800 psig and lowering.

SAT It is intuitive that the least number of charging pumps best accomplishes overpressure mitigation. The applicant does not have to know anything about the LCO to get this one. Also this has nothing to do with loss of Rx coolant makeup. Changed question to better meet K/A. Question poses scenario where a 22 F 2 X X N U boration path is rendered inop. Candidates have to assess if they meet TS requirements for Boron injection.

The word claiming in the stem is unnecessary.

Removed claiming and replaced with ____, making this question a fill-in-the-blank question.

SAT KA mismatch. Do not have to know anything about containment sump level to correctly answer this question. Changed question from Containment Spray To Recirc Spray requirements which states that Recirc Spray pumps must be secured if Ctmt. Sump level is < 4.0 feet.

Subsets. If B is true, C is true. Ditto A and D. Need 23 F 2 X N U a limiter in the stem. Also restate stem as a requirement (must be secured). Added limiter to eliminate subset issue, and changed question to the minimum Containment sump level for operatin of the Recirc Spray pumps is ___. Kept distractor values the same.

SAT 24 F 2 N S Dont ask what shall be done. Ask what is required.

Do not diagnose in the stem (LBLOCA). Give the applicant the 27 F 2 N E observable indication necessary to answer the question. Gave range on distractors and changed indications to not diagnose in stem.

SAT Dont diagnose in stem (ATWS).

Give an initial power level.

The first two columns comprise four unique answers.

The second 2 columns add nothing.

Several minutes is too fuzzy. After some time, RCS pressure will either be controlled by safeties/PORVs, or else go offscale high. Either way, pressure will not E

28 H 2 M rise forever.

Does all feedwater . . .has been lost include AFW?

If not, specify. If so, I think this accident has not been analyzed. Re-wrote stem to give initial power as well as specify loss of MFW. Removed PZR Level and Steam Pressure columns. Changed several minutes to two (2) minutes.

SAT Dont ask what would happen. Ask about requirements. Changed stem to ask which of the listed RMs was required to be in service for fuel movement.

The version you sent me did not include this change.

29 F 2 N E Intended change was inadvertently not sent, desired change attached.

Stem should refer to required OPERABILITY of the rad monitor.

Added to be operable to stem.

SAT Is there a link between loading a spent fuel cask and an area rad alarm in the new fuel storage area?

Ensure this is operationally valid. The New fuel storage area and Spent fuel storage area are in same building and adjacent to each other. A fuel handling accident in the Fuel Building would affect both 30 H 2 X N E radiation monitors.

Also, it does not seem credible to me that a valid area rad alarm has no effect on fuel handling activities.

The distractor analysis refers to fuel assembly reconstitution, but the stem says that cask loading is in progress.

Revised question to ask the required MCR actions regarding ventilation lineup. Also revised distractor analysis to reflect cask load vice fuel reconstitution.

SAT Appears to be a K/A mismatch. What surveillance procedure is involved?

Changed question to require candidate to use 0-31 H 2 X N U OSP-RC-002 to calculate a primary-to-secondary leak rate. Now matches KA.

SAT Much window dressing. The question simply asks what devices reposition in response to a main steam isolation signal and what causes such a signal.

Everything above Which ONE seems to be 32 H 2 M E unnecessary.

Removed window dressing and changed wording as needed.

SAT How can the applicant determine that MTC is negative?

Added bullet stating that ramp plan calls for dilutions for duration of ramp, implying negative MTC.

Your comment does not describe what you actually did, but what you did is probably fine. If the value of MTC is normally available in the control room this 33 H 2 M S question is SAT. It MTC is not normally readily accessible, give a boron concentration indicative of late in core life.

MTC is not readily accessible in MCR, so changed bullet stating that RCS boron is 300 ppm. This should provide enough information to the candidates that MTC is negative.

Wouldnt IMP IN aggravate the situation and make the cooldown worse? i.e. the turbine would respond to 34 H 2 X N E the drop in impulse pressure by taking more steam?

Removed reference to IMP IN and added explanation of Power Mismatch Circuit.

SAT 35 H 2 N S 36 H 2 M S Ensure that the name of the switch in the stem exactly matches plant labeling. i.e. if giveaway is not on the label, dont use it in the question.

37 H 2 N E Replaced giveaway with actual switch name (non-unit-specific).

SAT Lowering SG pressure by itself does not indicate Natural circulation is in progress. It would drop as a result of steaming and feeding even if loop isolation valves were closed. Perhaps consistent with is a more accurate phrase. Also, slowly lowering may be necessary (per procedure). If it rapidly lowers and Tcold doesnt follow it, this is an indication of a loss of NC.

38 H 2 B E Changed stem to replace indicates with is consistent with. Also changed stable or lowering to slowly lowering.

With this wording, I think B is also correct. Replace t with a distractor that is inconsistent with natural circulation.

Replaced distractor B with an indication that is NOT consistent with Natural Circulation; CETCs rising.

SAT 39 F 2 N S It is general employee knowledge to stop a radioactive leak if possible. This does not test licensed knowledge.

Also, is AUX BLDG SAMPLE Radiation Monitor 1-40 F 1 N U RM-156 an area monitor?

Perhaps require the applicant to identify a possible source for a given Area rad alarm?

Rewrote question to require applicant to identify likely source of a particular RM alarm.

SAT Send a reference that shows that median Tavg is used for feed isolation.

41 F 2 M S Added reference (0-AP-53.00, Attachment 4) showing Tave Control Circuit.

SAT 42 F 2 B S 43 H 2 M S 44 H 2 N S This does not test an EOP warning, caution, or note.

This question can be answered with system knowledge only.

Discussed with Chief - Surry doesnt have EOP 45 F 2 X N U actions for Loss of DC. Caution will come from 1-AP-10.06, Loss of DC Power. Chief agreed on phone call.

Removed the why component in the responses.

SAT K/A mismatch. This tests the effect of an EDG failure on fuel oil system, instead of the other way around.

Rewrote question to determine the effect on EDGs (Tech Spec) with the Aboveground Fuel Oil Storage Tank removed from service. Tested the candidates knowledge of the minimum on-site fuel oil required.

This version of the question makes most of the stem into window dressing. I believe that the minimum requirement is independent of the current status of tanks. I suggest you make this an evaluation of how 47 F 2 X B U the unavailability of the above ground tank affects EDG operability.

Removed the bullets pertaining to the Underground Fuel Oil Storage Tanks. Changed question to ask minimum fuel oil in UFOSTS per TS 3.16. Changed distractor D to 40,000 gal. to better match question.

Re-sequence answers from higher to lower or vice versa.

Re-sequenced answers from higher to lower.

SAT 48 H 2 N S Do not diagnose in stem (SBLOCA). K/A mismatch.

This is not guidance contained in EOP Rewrote question to use EOP guidance and removed SBLOCA from stem.

FR-Z.1 step 6 also directs closing MSTVs. Is the point to ask which one is first?

Changed stem bullet to indicate all other ESF equip 49 F 2 X N U responded as designed (other than MSTVs). This done to bolster question to support fact that FR-Z.1 is not required to be entered because both trains of CS operated. Changed P1 tostate which procedure will first close MSTVs Note: this may not be necessary if FR-Z.1 entry conditions are not met.

SAT Explain how this is a ventilation system.

Process Ventilation System takes suction of dilution 50 F 2 M E air in the Auxiliary Building near the Primary Sample Sink using Process Ventilation Blowers, discharging

through the lightning rods on top of containment.

Drawing attached.

SAT 51 F 2 M S 52 H 2 M S K/A mismatch. This question can be answered solely on system knowledge. Everything following Given the following is window dressing. The particular 53 H 2 N U condition of the plant is not relevant to the question.

Dont diagnose in stem (small LOCA).

Rewrote question to better match the KA.

SAT The question is confusing. It implies that the pump start location is dependent on screen speed. Is screen in fast an interlock or only a procedure 54 F 2 N E requirement?

Split question into 2 discrete parts to allay confusion.

SAT The 2 part does not discriminate. The applicant is nd told that a pressure change has a reactivity effect and then asks the applicant to determine that this is due to a pressure coefficient of reactivity. Also, I suspect 62 F 2 X N E that the pressure coefficient is due, at least in part, to voids from nucleate boiling.

What is the reference for this?

In order to conclude from SG WR trends that the B SG is ruptured, it is necessary to know AFW flow rates and steaming rates.

Since our N-16 RMs are located very close to each 81 H 2 N E other (w/in ~ 5 feet), it is expected that a SGTR in one SG will cause all N-16 RMs to alarm due to shine. They are designed to detect very small leaks (0-200 gpd - equivalent to 0.14 gpm) that would otherwise not be seen. Revised stem to include feed/steam rates.

SAT 82 H 2 N S It does not seem operationally valid for PZR level and subcooling to be stable with an elevated containment pressure. What is the source of pressure in containment?

The distractor analysis for A says Plausible if candidate determines . . . based on PRZR level lowering. PRZR level is stable in the stem.

Clumsy wording in stem. The First procedure attempted to and Which procedure, will the team.

83 H 2 X N E Perhaps The first attempt to load EDG #1 is done in accordance with and remove the comma in the second part (after procedure).

Revised conditions and stem IAW NRC comments.

Provided more operationally-valid indications. CTMT pressure would be expected to be elevated due to loss of cooling.

Revised distractor analysis to refer to elevated CTMT pressure vice PZR level.

SAT

A complete loss of DC is possible at any time. Add to the first part in accordance with ECA 0.0. Giving the entire TRM to the applicant contains a risk of compromising another question. Ensure that no other question is affected by this reference.

Revised stem IAW NRC comments. Only one other question (#63) refers to the TRM, and then only to administrative requirements if a TRM item is determined to be inadequate. There is no compromise by giving the TRM as a reference.

Subset issues. If C is correct, A is correct (so I wouldnt pick C because I know there are not 2 84 H 2 N E correct answers). Ned a modifier in stem. Added modifier minimum to P1. Used a range of time which better matches ECA-0.0 Note.

This started as a TRM question, but in the present form, how is this SRO only? The form says it is procedure selection, but no procedure is selected. If this is unique to the SRO position in your training program. Attach the relevant learning objective.

Added Objective C for ND-88.1-LP-10, TRM Overview to Objective field and Part 55 content.

Added Figure1: Screening for SRO-only linked to 10CFR 55.43(b)(2), to Question Reference section.

(F/H) (1-5) Cues T/F Partial Minutia O Focus Dist Link Units ward K/A Only What does the note before the question mean?. It seems to me that adding the third bullet inappropriately tells the applicant that an emergency classification is necessary when that seemed to be the point of the question. Also, I thought the reference we were providing was the E-plan 85 H 2 N S classification document. The associated learning objective says utilizing the EAL charts.

Removed note and third bullet. The E-plan classification document is interchangeably referred to as the EAL Matrix or EAL Charts.

SAT The 5 minute delay does not seem operationally relevant. In the stated sequence, this 5 minutes would have elapsed. Also, explain how the loss of this bus is causing intake canal level to go down.

Revised to ask the reason for the 5-minute delay.

86 H 2 X N E The loss of 1G bus results in the loss of all Unit 1 CW pumps. With power restored, the crew would be expected to restart any previously running CW pumps.

SAT Dont diagnose in the stem. Why is RVLIS rising?

Revised stem to give indications that the operator 87 H 2 M E would have. Removed rising from RVLIS indication.

SAT Reference provided is contradicted by Reference provided to applicant: NO It seems that this would lead to E-plan activation, so 4 hour4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> is not a credible distractor.

The explanation says requires hospitalization but this information is not in the stem.

Changed No to Yes for reference provided.

Changed 4-hour report to 8-hour report as this is more plausible. VPAP-2802, section 6.3.5.b requires 88 H 2 S N E an 8-hour report to be made if an Alert/SAE/GE was declared. Actual report of the EAL is governed by EPIP-2.0.1/2.0.2, and not VPAP 2802. Changed the stem to include require hospitalization for their injuries.

SAT You must have changed you mind about someone needing hospitalization as part of the question.

Doesnt the low temperature in the pump house make 89 H 2 N E all ESW pumps inoperable which affects both units?

If so, that seems more operationally relevant than the battery inoperability.

Revised Part 1 to remove reference to ESW Pump batteries and just asked for ESW Pump status. Both units are affected, but TS allows two ESW pumps to be operable if one unit is in CSD with low SFP heat load. Unit 2 is on the way there, but not there yet.

SAT Why is circ/serv water temperature given in stem?

CW/SW temperature is a required variable to 90 H 2 M E determine Containment Allowable Air Partial Pressure IAW the TS figure.

SAT 91 F 2 N S 92 H 2 N S 93 H 2 N S Dont make it generic. Pick a particular example where this rule applies and use that as the premise of the question. It could be open reference for the LCO in question (but do not include the basis section that 94 H 2 X N E applies to specifically answer the question).

Made the question more specific, relating to a faulted electrical bus. Reference not required.

On other questions that allow references, there was a note that said references provided. I did not see that here.

This is not SRO only because of procedure selection, 98 H 2 M E but because of the classification. Red path entry is RO knowledge.

Removed references to FR-H.1. Yes, the operator is expected to know the conditions that would place him/her to the right of Limit A. Removed reference since a picture of the screen is provided in the body of the question. Removed reference to procedure selection as basis for SRO-only.

SAT Dont ask what the SRO will do. Ask what is required.

99 H 2 M E Revised stem to incorporate NRC comments.

SAT Priority is fuzzy when use of yellow path procedures is optional. Ask about the terminus of the heat sink status tree.

Dont ask about expected team actions. Ask what the procedure referenced in the above terminus would direct.

You clearly changed the question but I think you 100 H 2 M E comments got lost here.

The 2nd part of the C distractor is not credible the way it is written. Perhaps you meant to use the PORV to steam the level down. Perhaps say to reduce inventory.

Added reduce inventory to C2.
