TIME APPLICANT NAME/DOCKET #
APPLICANT QUESTION/COMMENT PROCTOR RESPONSE 8
0937 Brandon Tribble/55-72723 Is this failure on the input or output of the controller?
The conditions and stem of the question were read back to the applicant. No further information was provided. The conditions state that the failure is from the pressure transmitter, which is the input to the controller.
42 1042 Caleb Walker/55-76377 Do I assume current plant alignment?
The conditions and the stem were read back to the applicant. No additional information was provided. From the
briefing, the applicants are not to assume any additional failures or plant alignments unless specifically stated in the stem or conditions of the question.
81 1137 Brandon Tribble/55-72723 The question stem refers to regulated voltage but the reference refers to unregulated voltage points. What are the unregulated voltage values?
After a discussion with the exam team, determined that the applicant did not need unregulated voltage to answer the question (the applicant can deduce the values from the information given).
No additional information was provided.
21 1141 Josef Nichols/55-76378 Do I consider the plant conditions in the stem to determine which radiation monitor to use or do I just answer based on what the Annunciator Corrective Action says?
The conditions and the stem were read back to the applicant. No additional
information was provided. The conditions of the question render one of the radiation monitors incapable of monitoring radiation.
25 1143 Josef Nichols/55-76378 Do I consider the rate of Containment sump level rise as a leakrate?
The conditions and the stem were read back to the applicant. No addition information was provided. The question conditions state that the sump is rising at 10 gpm, not that a leakrate has been performed.

which method is used (at normal full power).
99 1303 Brandon Tribble/55-72723 When answering this question, do I consider the situation in which the SM becomes incapacitated?
The conditions and stem were read back to the applicant. No additional information was provided. The stem of the question does not ask about when the SM becomes incapacitated. It asks about when the SM can delegate authority.
67 1408 Kyle Rollans/55-76375 What does most limiting Tech Spec action mean? Does that mean the action that has the shortest time to take an action or does that mean the action that will place the plant in Mode 3 the fastest?
The conditions and stem were read back to the applicant. No additional information was provided. The stem of the question asks about the most limiting tech spec action (1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> or less action) which also
