2. Installed two new condensing chambers which are not temperature compensated, a. The piping is routed through dryvell penetration N 26.

b. The new condensing chambers are located *

above their respective reactor nozzles to allow proper sloping of the reference column piping to their penetrations.

3. Moved the two fuel zone water level reference legs from the curront CEMAC cold reference legs to the new cold reference legs.

4. Return the level 1 (Triple low) trip point to 160 inches.

QUESTION 6.04 (3.00)

With the Unit operating at 75% rawer, an electrical fault causes the Maximum Combined Flow Setpoint of the EHC system to drop to minimum.

HOW WILL EACH OF the following RESPOND after the fault? WHY7 (Consider response through ONE MINUTE after the fault. Assume NO OPERATOR ACTION.)

ATTACHED FICURE, EHC LOGIC, IS PROVIDED FOR REFERENCE a. Turbine control valve position (1.00)

b. Bypass valve position (1.00)

c. Reactor power (1.00)

ANSWER 6.04 (3.00)

a. The TCVs will close to 50n flow position (0,5)

The TCV low value gate passes a HCF signal of 50% rather than the signal from the pressure controller. (0.5)

b. The BPVs will remain closed through the transient (0.5)

the MCF summer will send a zero signal to the BPV LVG (0.5)

c. Reactor power (and pressure) will rapidly increase following (0.5)

the fault.

The reactor will scram on High Flux and/or high pressure (0.5)

because of the closure of the TCVs

QUESTION 8.09 (2.25)

During plant operations at 804 power, RBM "B" has fai?id and is bypassed. APRM

"E" har also failed and is bypassed.

APRM "A" fails downscale.

Utilizing the Technical Specification provided in the attachments, DETEhMINE any LCO's entered by the failure of APRM "A". Iadicate the DURATION of the LCO's and the ACTION required if the specified LCO time elapses. (2.25)

ANSWER 8.09 (2.25)

Failure of APRM "A" results in less than two (2) instrument channels for trip channel "A". (0.25) The Technical Specification requires two (2) instrument channels for each trip channel. APRM "E" is already bypassed, so APRM "A" cannot be bypassed. (0.25) Trip system "A" shall be placed in the tripped condition.

(0.50)

APRM "A" is also the normal reference APRM for RBM "B" (0.25). Since APRM "E" is the alternate reference APRM for RBM "B", RMB "B" is INOP. (0.50) A seven (7)

day LCO was in effect due to RBM "B" being INOP. RBM "A" is not INOP and shall be placed in a tripped condition. (0.50)

FACILITY COMMENT:

The second part of the answer is wrong. The reference APRM for the A Rod Block Monitor is the "E" APRM, "C" is the backup. The reference for the "B" RBM is the "B" APRM and "D" is the backup. When the "E" APRM becomes INOP, the reference APRM for "A" RBM becomes the "C" APRM. This leaves the "A" RBM still operable. No LCO's are in effect for the RBM.

REFERENCE: LOT 0280, page 4 Lower right.

RESOLUTION: Eliminate second part of question.

'

the question value lowered to 1.5.

L 2.07 Coment partially accepted. Credit will only be given for rupture

.

diaphragms and their correct setpoint.

2.09(b) Coment partially accepted. Question (b) is to be deleted since it does not distinguish between kncwledge of the LOCA signal and just guessing. Point value of the ouestion is 2.0; Sectior .alue 24.5.

3.01 Coment accepted. This material was not provided in what was submitted to the region for exam preparation.

l 3.05 Coment partially accepted. Placing the drawer select switch to out of operate is not part of the information given in the question and therefure requires the candidate to rnake assumptions in order to answer the question. Taking the drawer select switch to out of g operate will not be allowed as an acceptable answer.

3.08 Coment accepted.

3.09 Coment partially accepted. "Remain Open" is to be considered correct only if the candidate states that RHR is presured to be running; otherwise "Close" is the correct answer.

3.10 Coment accepted. Unit 2 receives a Red Block.

Unit 3 a half scram.

l l 4.05 Coment accepted. No change to answer key is required.

4.06 Coment accepted.

, 4.08 Coment noted. However, since the question tests knowledge of l imediate operator actions, the answer key remains unchanged.

5.03 Same response as for question 1.07.

6.04 Coment not accepted. The question explicitly states that the I Maximum Combined Flow setpoint drops to minimum, and not to zero.

7.02 Coment accepted. Answer key has been modified accordingly.

7.03 Coment not accepted. The question asks for a definition of NOT SHUT DOWN, not how to determine if the reactor is not shut down.

8.02 Coment accepted. Answer key has been modified accordingly.

8.09 Coment partially accepted. Answer key for part (b) has been modified as follows: No LCOs for the RBM. Additionally, the point value of the question was reduced to 2.0.
