EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant, Units 1 & 2 NRC Examination Report Nos. 50-321/97-300, 50-366/97-300 During the period March 14-20, 1997, NRC examiners conducted an announced operator licensing initial examination in accordance with the guidance of Examiner Standards, NUREG-1021, Revision 7, Supplement 1, and as modified by the pilot program guidance of NRC Generic Letter 95-06, " Changes in the Operator Licensing Program". This examination implemented the operator licensing requirements of 10 CFR 555.41, $55.43, and $55.45.

Operations Control room activities were observed during the examination validation week and

-

examination administration week. The operators were found to be attentive and professional in their duties (Section 01.1).

The examiners identified a positive finding in the prompt response of the licensee's

-

Fix-It-Now (FIN) Program to a problem identified in the Reactor Building during the conduct of examinations (Section 01.2).

Three Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) candidates received written examinations and

-

operating tests. The licensee administered the written examination on March 14, and the NRC administered the operating tests March 18-19,1997 (Section 05.1).

The examiners identified a positive finding with the licensee's incorporation of graphs, j

-

charts and tables into the body of the written examination (Section 05.2).

All of the candidates passed the examination. Two candidates were graded as a

-

marginal pass on the written examination and all candidates were graded as a marginal pass on the administrative topics portion of the operating test (Section 05.3).

Report Details Summary of Plant Status During the period of the examinations the Unit 1 was at 100 percent power and Unit 2 was

'

shutdown for refueling.

l. Operations

.

Conduct of Operations 01.1 Control Room Observation During validation and administration of the examination, the examiners observed the conduct of operations by currently licensed operators in the control room. The Reactor Operators (ROs) were attentive to the evolutions in progress. The Senior Reactor Operators (SROs) limited personnel access for official business only, which contributed to a quiet, professional atmosphere.

,

01.2 Fix-h-Now (FIN) Proaram During conduct of the plant walkthrough portion of the operating test, one candidate identified that the airlock between the Unit 1 and 2 Reactor Buildings was not i

functioning properly (a door interlock prevents two doors from being open simultaneously). The candidate telephoned the problem to pler' operators and then continued with his examination task. About 15 minutes later, ' :a examiner and candidate passed by the airlock again and noted that members of the FIN team had already responded to and corrected the problem. The examiners considered the licensee's prompt response to the above problem as a positive finding regarding the FIN program.

Operator Training and Qualifications

.

.

O5.1 General Comments i

NRC examiners conducted regular, announced operator licensing initial examinations during the period March 14-20, 1997. NRC examiners administered examinations developed by two members of the Hatch training staff, under the requirements of an NRC security agreement, in accordance with the guidelines of the Examiner Standards (ES), NUREG-1021, Revision 7 Supplement 1 as modified by the pilot program guidance of NRC Generic Letter 95-06, " Changes in the Operator Licensing Program".

Three SRO instant license applicants received written examinations and operating tests.

05.2 Pre-Examination Activities Tnis examination represented the licensee's first attempt at developing written examinations and operating tests for the operator licensing process. In general, the examiners found that the as-submitted examination was good. The majority of Enclosure 1

comments on the draft written exam concerned format and style changes. Of the 100 questions developed, the examiners found five to have either 1) incorrect information in the stem to support the intended correct answer or 2) had more than one correct answer. Additionally, tan other questions were found to be either 1) too easy or 2) the fourth distractor was not plausible enough to be considered a possible correct answer

,

i by the candidates. Given the general high quality of all the written questions, the

'

examiners attributed the above weaknesses as part of the learning curve for developing NRC-style examinations. Also, the examiners positively noted that the

'

i licensee's incorporation of graphs, charts, and tables into the body of their respective questions enhanced the quality of the test.

<

The examiners considered the operating tests to be adequate. Originally, two Job

.

Performance Measure (JPM) sets were developed by the licensee's exam team in

,

anticipation of a larger number of candidates taking the tests. Each set met the

!

guide!ines of the ES, but were not found to be particularly challenging. When the

'

number of candidates dropped to three, an enhanced JPM set was developed from the

?

two as-submitted JPM sets. Similarly, five simulator scenarios were developed originally but only three were actually validated and used (with one other backup

-

scencrio) during the examination. These scenarios met the guidelines of the ES, but

'

did not possess the flexibility of additional equipment and instrument malfunctions to cover contingencies for unanticipated candidate actions. These malfunctions were

'

added to the scenarios and validated during the on-site exam review week March 3-4, 1997. Also, the examiners found that most of the equipment and instrument malfunctions were sequenced in the scenario after the major transient occurred.

Consequently, it would have been difficult for the examiners to provide a fair evaluation of the candidates' skills and abilities for these manipulations and responses. For future examination development, the licensee should ensure the ES minimum equipment and instrument malfunctions are planned to occur prior to the major transient. Other malfunctions may also be implemented after the major transient to enhance or direct the course of the scenario to the desired end point.

05.3 Examination Results and Related Findinas. Observations. and Conclusions All three SRO candidates passed the examination; however, two candidates were graded as a marginal pass on the written examination and all candidates were graded as a marginal pass on the administrative topics portion of the operating examination.

Detailed candidate performance comments have been transmitted under separate cover for management review and to allow appropriate candidate remediation.

During NRC review of the written examination, question #13 was modified to test the candidates' knowledge of electrical bus 2R24-S012 loads vice bus 2R24-S011 loads as originally submitted. While conducting a post-examination analysis for generic training or knowledge deficiencies, the licensee exam developers identified that the i

above change had been made to the master examination and answer key but had not been changed on the candidates' version of the test. The candidates were thus tested on question #13 as it was originally submitted to the NRC. This question was valid either way it was written and therefore did not need to be deleted from the test.

However, the master examination and answer key had to be corrected to reflect ihe as-given question and associated correct answer. This correction was recommended i

Enclosure 1

.

.

.

by the licensee and concurred with by the NRC Chief Examiner. The examiners noted

'

that this question did not impact the pass / fait decision on any of the candidates.

All three candidates were given administrative JPM 25025, " Shift the Mode Switch From Startup/ Hot Standby to Run" to perform on the simulator. Each was given the initial condition of a plant startup in progress with the operators at Step 7.4.1 of 34GO-OPS-001-2S, " Plant Startup" and an opportunity to familiarize themselves with plant conditions on the simulator (i.e., walkdown the control panels). As part of the simulator setup, one Plant Service Water (PSW) pump and one Residual Heat

,

Removal (RHR) pump were danger tagged out of service. Since these pumps were pieces of Technical Specification (TS) equipment, the candidates were expected to recognize this fact and apply the applicable Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) in their determination of whether the Mode Switch could be placed in Run. Technical Specifications allow a mode change with one PSW pump out of service; however. TS do not allow a mode change with one RHR pump out of service. All candidates properly followed the startup procedure but none of the candidates properly performed this task by determining that the Mode Switch should no.t be placed in Run (due to the

RHR pump being out of service). The examiners noted that the procedural steps for placing the Mode Switch to Run (steps 7.4.1 through 7.4.12) did not specifically address the need for compliance with TS requirements as a condition for that action.

This area was considered a generic candidate performance weakness.

Based on the candidates' simulator training program, a qualified instructor was permitted to stand-in as the Shift Technical Advisor (STA) during the simulator evaluations. Despite pre-exam coaching by the Chief Examiner, the substitute STA inappropriately assisted the candidates on several occasions which biased and complicated the evaluation process. Consequently, future use of an STA during NRC exams will not be permitted without prior approval by the Region 11 Operator Licensing Branch Chief. This approval should be obtained prior to commencing candidate simulator training in order to avoid confusion and negative training.

V. Manaaement Meetinas X1. Exit Meeting Summary At the conclusion of the site visit, the examiners met with representatives of the plant staff listed on the following page to discuss the results of the examinations. The licensee's management representatives dissented with NRC's intention to prohibit use of a stand-in STA during future NRC examinatin simulator scenarios. They indicated that the logical sequence of operator licensing training would be disrupted and that possible negative training could occur. Hatch management representatives indicated that other options would be explored that addressed the NRC's concerns and would communicate these to Region ll operator licensing management before initiating sirnulator training for licensing additional operators.

The Chief Examiner stated that the licensee's proposals would be reviewed when submitted and evaluated objectively to determined if the concerns discussed in this report were adequately addressed.
