SUMMARY

AND

PUBLIC MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT

-JULY 1998 NRC REGION 11 EXAMINATION WORKSHOP AND NOVEMBER 1998 TRAINING MANAGERS' CONFERENCE - BRUNSWICK STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT

Dear Mr. Herrell:

Region 11 facilitated a workshop on Operator Licensing Examination Techniques on July 15, 1998, conducted at the Richard B. Russell Building. The workshop attendees included representatives from all Region il facilities. It is our opinion that the workshop was beneficial and provided an excellent opportunity for open discussion on the operating test portion of the operator licensing examination process.

During the workshop, we covered a preliminary response to concerns expressed at the January 1998 workshop and a synopsis was promised, but due to the status of the program, cannot be provided. The slides used for our discussions are enclosed.

Also, I would like to extend an invitation to you, and to members of your operations and training staff, to attend this year's Training Managers' Conference to be held on November 5,1998. Our goal for the meeting is to provide an open forum for discussion of operator licensing issues.

The site for this year's conference will be in the Richard B. Russell Building Auditorium on Spring Street in downtown Atlanta. As of this date, the agenda is open. We encourage you to submit, via telephone, a list of topics that you would like to have discussed.

Additionally, we would appreciate an update of the home addresses of your licensed operators.

Please send them in an envelope marked "To Be Opened by Addressee Only" to either Ms.

Beverly Michael or myself. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Bev at (404) 562-4640 or me at (404) 562-4638.

Sincerely, (Original signed by T.A. Peebles)

Thomas A. Peebles, Chief Operator Licensing and Human Performance Branch Division of Reactor Safety Docket Nos.: 50-325 and 50-324 License Nos.: DPR-71 and DPR-62

Is there more than one correct answer?

Is the given answer correct?

Adecuate data in the stem?

Is cata in the stem consistent and plausible?

II. PSYCHOMETRICS: The process of applying sound qualitative processes to mental measurements.

l PSYCHW1ETRIC FLAWS THAT COULD DIMINISH THE VALIDITY OF THE EXAMIN FLAW . GUIDANCE APPENDIX B REFERENCE

1. Low level of Question should be written to reflect App. B

./ knowledge the level of knowledge most 1.d appropriate for a specific K/A.

When there is a choice, try to write the question to reflect the higher level.

SEE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE BELOW

2. Low operational Does the question test the intent of App. B validity the K/A? 1.a/b/e Could someone do the job safely and 2.k effectively without being'able to answer the question?

3. Low discriminatory Will a less than competent candidate App. B validity miss the item? 1.d Can a person understand the principle 2.g being tested and still miss the item?

SEE LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY BELOW.

4. Implausible Can a distractor be eliminated with App. 8 Distractors out understanding the concept being 2.b/f/h/m tested?

5. Confusing or State the question as concisely as App. B ambiguous language possible but provide all necessary 1.c information.

6. Confusing negatives Avoid negative stems. App.B 2.e l 7. Collection of Each item should focus on one K/A App.B true/ false item determined by the stem. 1.f 2.c

8. backwards logic Examine on a topic in a way that is App.B consistent with how the K/A should be 1.h remembered and used.

LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY Establish a level of difficulty that will enable an applicant who is capable of safely operating the plant to complete and review the examination within four hours and achieve a grade of 80 percent or greater. [ES-401 p.4]

Since item difficulty can usually be decreased or increased by revision, the ,

examination author need not be overly preoccupied with difficulty when writing !

the items. The author should focus on achieving a valid measure of the l concept he is attempting to evaluate. [ Appendix B. p. 6]

LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE !

-Level 1: FUNDAMENTAL KNOWLEDGE The recall or recognition of discrete bits of information.

- knowledge of terminology

- definitions

- set points

- other specific facts Level 2: COMPREHENSION Involves the metal process of understanding the material through relating it to.its own parts or some other material.

- describing or recognizing relationships

- recognizing how systems interact ,

- consequences or implications of events '

Level 3: ANALYSIS. SYNTHESIS OR APPLICATION Involves assembling sorting or integrating information to predict'an event or outcome. Requires mentally using the knowledge and its meaning to solve problems.

(1) distractors that do not follow grammatically from the stem.

l (2) options that can be judged correct or incorrect without reading the stem.

(3) equivalent and /or synonymous options which rule out both options.

l (4) an option which includes another option.

(5) implausible distractors.

(6) a correct answer which is longer that the distractors.

(7) cualifiers in the correct answer unless they are used in cistractors. (e.g. probably, ordinarily) 1 (8) words such as "never" . "always" which suggest a wrong answer.

3. DeveloD Performance Criteria .

The JPM should have meaningful performance requirements that will provide a legitimate basis for evaluating the examinee's ability to safely operate the system or the plant. Artificially subdividing .,

existing tasks to generate new ones may dilute the value of the JPMs to a point where they become meaningless.

The JPM shall identify specific performance standards, or check points, that will permit the examiner to evaluate successful progress toward completing the task in-accordance with the procedural references.

Detailed control and indication nomenclature and criteria (e.g., switch positions and meter readings) should be identified whenever possible, even if these criteria are not specified in the procedural step. The JPM should also note any important observations that should be made by the examinee while performing the task.

The JPM must clearly identify the task standard; i.e., the predetermined outcome (qualitative and/or quantitative) against which task performance will be measured. (vetysp.nocedurah e step that the -e (dbfieatjy,g(4 req? accurately,iin-thepropersequehce.xamineemustperform ,.2and-at.:the proper,:

Ifi. there are any specific procedural restrictions on the sequence in which the steps are performed they shall be clearly noted in the JPM.

ANSWER: 1 Simultaneously opening the accumulator vent valves would connect the two accumulator gas spaces. If a large break LOCA were to occur on either of the loops ("A" or "C") both accumulators would depressurize invalidating the LOCA analysis.

3. Finally the second low level alarm on the RWST sounds. At this time, the operator performs the switchover operation.

The changeover from injection to recirculation is effected by the operator in the Control Room via a series of manual switching operations according to written procedures. Valves SI-856A and B are manually closed at the valves.

Remotely operated valves for the injection phase of the SIS (Figures 6.3.1-1 and 6.3.1-2) which are under manual control, (this is, valves which normally are in their ready position and do not receive a SI signal) have their positions indicated on a common portion of the control board. At any time during operation, when one of these valves is not in the ready position for injection, it is shown visually on the board. Table 6.3.2-1 is a listing of the instrumentation readouts on the control board which the operator can monitor during recirculation. In addition, an audible annunciation alerts the operator to the condition.

6.3.2.2.5.1 Location of the major components required for recirculation. The RHR pumps are located in the RHR pump pit (Elevation 203 ft 0 in.) which is below the basement floor of the Auxiliary Building (Elevation 226 ft 0 in). The RHR pump pit is located between the Containment I

Building and the Auxiliary Building. The residual heat exchangers are located on the first floor of the Auxiliary Building.

The high head SI pumps, component cooling pumps and component cooling heat exchangers are located in the Auxiliary Building (Elevation 226 ft 0 in). l The service water pumps are located in the intake structure, and the redundant piping to the component cooling heat exchangers is run underground.

6.3.2.2.6 Accumulators. The accumulators are pressure vessels filled '

with borated water and pressurized with nitrogen gas. During normal plant operation, each accumulator is isolated from the RCS by two check valves in series.

Should the RCS pressure fall below the accumulator pressure, the check valves open and borated water is forced into the RCS. Mechanical operation of the swing-disc check valves is the only action required to open the injection path from the accumulators to the core via the cold leg.

The accumulators are passive engineered safety features (ESF) because the gas forces injection; no external source of power or signal transmission is needed to obtain fast-acting, high-flow capability when the need arises.

One accumulator is attached to each of the cold legs of the RCS.

The design capacity of the accumulators is based on the assumption that flow from one of the accumulators spills onto the containment floor through the ruptured loop. lne flow from the remaining accumulators provides sufficient water to fill the volume outside of the core barrel below the nozzles, the bottom plenum, and one-half the core.

RCS Specific Activity B 3.4.16 BASES (continued)

SURVEILLANCE SR 3.4.16.1 REQUIREMENTS SR 3.4.16.1 requires performing a gamma isoto)ic analysis as a measure of the gross specific activity of t1e reactor coolant at least once every 7 days. The analysis shall consist of a qualitative measurement of the total radioactivity of the primary coolant in units of yC1/gm. ,

While basically a quantitative measure of radionuclides with half lives longer than 15 minutes, excluding iodines, this measurement is the sum of the degassed gamma activities and the gaseous gamma activities in the sample taken. This Surveillance provides an indication of any increase in gross specific activity.

Trending the results of this Surveillance allows proper remedial action to be taken before reaching the LCO limit under normal operating conditions. The Surveillance is applicable in MODES 1 and 2. and in MODE 3 with T , at least 500*F. The 7 day Frequency considers the unlikelNood of a gross fuel failure during the time.

SR 3.4.16.2 This Surveillance is performed in MODE 1 only to ensure !

iodine remains within limit during normal operation and following fast power changes when fuel failure is more apt to occur. The 14 day Frequency is adequate to trend changes in the iodine activity level, considering gross activity is monitored every 7 days. The Frequency, between 2 and

S_R 3.4.16.3 A radiochemical analysis for $ determination is required every 184 days (6 months) with the plant operating in MODE 1 equilibrium conditions. The E determination directly relates to the LCO and is required to verify plant operation :

within the specified gross activity LCO limit. The analysis for E is a measurement of the average energies per disintegration for isotopes with half lives longer than

II. QUESTION:

HPCI started on high drywell pressure, but tripped on high RPV level.

Explain how HPCI responds as level lowers from the high level trip to Lo Level 3.

Additionally, if you wanted to restart HPCI at 120", what actions would be required to perform that action?

:u================================================================

III. AN8WER:

As level lowers, HPCI will not restart until level reaches LL-2 (105").

HPCI will then reset its trips and start and inject with no operator action. HPCI will continue to run as level lowers to LL-3.

To restart HPCI prior to reaching LL-2, depress the high water level trip reset pushbutton, the drywell signal will then restart HPCI and' cause it to inject.

l l l l ES-301 Specific Instructions for Category A l

i l .

Although Admin topics may be examined separately, it .is preferable, whenever l l possible, to link, associate, or integrate l them with tasks and events conducted during l Categories B and C e Using a single Admin JPM is generally 1 preferred, however, two prescripted j

questions may be used.

If the applicant has a "U" in only one Admin topic, the examiner may fail the applicant in Category A depending on the importance of the identified deficiency.

- Topics in the administrative portion of the NRC initial examination are weighted the highest of all examination areas, and are thus the most likely to result in a failing grade.

- A single knowledge weakness / or applicant error can result in an initial examination i failure.

Common Single Failure Points:

Clearance Error.

Reactivity Balance Error.

The key is a balance between questions and JPM's.

All JPMs will result in a long Admin exam, with a high potential to fail a candidate for a single error.

l All questions usually results in a weak

- Admin exam.
