HNP Licensed Operator Written Exam question #26 Post Exam Comment Comment for question # 26 is both answers A and B are correct. In the HNP EOP users guide the bases for the 100°F/hr cooldown rate limit is stated as follows: EOPs that provide instructions for plant cooldown and depressurization to cold shutdown conditions limit the RCS cooldown rate to 100°F/hr consistent with the Tech Spec limits for Modes I 3. This basis confirms answer A is correct. The stem of the question states that an EPP-009 Post LOCA Cooldown and Depressurization is in progress. The bases document for EPP-009 (ES-I .2),

states that the maximum cooldown rate of 100°F/hr will preclude violation of the Integrity Status Tree thermal shock limits. FRP-P.1, RESPONSE TO IMMINENT PRESSURIZED THERMAL SHOCK, would be the procedure entered if the Integrity Status Tree limits were violated which would also make answer B Correct. Since the stem of the question did not specify whether the basis for the limit of 457°F at 0630 or the basis for the limit in EPP-009 was desired, either answer could be considered correct based on the reference used to answer the question. EPP 009 basis document was not referenced in the development of this question and this new technical information supports accepting both answers as correct.
