Anticipated Transient Without Scram (ATWS System Number 029 K/A: EK3.12 RO Tier: RO Group: RO Imp: SRO Tier: 1 SRO Group: 1 SRO Imp: 4.7
Description:
Knowledge of the reasons for actions contained in EOP for ATWS.
Question:
If Reactor power is not lowering after a plant trip, Standard Post Trip Actions (SPTAs), 2202.001, Contingency Step 3.A.2 directs the operator to open the feeder breakers to 480 VAC Load Center busses 2B7 and 2B8 for ten (10) seconds and then reclose them.
The reason for re-closing these breakers is to:
A. Restore power to the CEDMCS in order to verify that all CEAs have fully inserted.
B. Re-energize the 2B7 and 2B8 busses before the under voltage relays strip the individual loads from the busses.
C. Restore power to the Pressurizer backup heaters for proper pressure control.
D. Restore power to Component Cooling Water Pump 2P33C and 480V MCCs.
Answer:
D. Restore power to Component Cooling Water Pump 2P33C and 480V MCCs.
Notes:
CEDMCS control power is not interrupted. Load centers do not have under voltage relays to strip loads, and backup heaters are powered from Load Centers 2B9 and 2B10.
This question was generated from a randomly selected K/A to be part of the SRO exam and not on the RO exam; however, this question is not one of the 25 10 CFR 55.43 category questions selected for this exam. Four additional questions were selected to be on the SRO exam that are not on the RO exam to in order to comply with the NUREG 1021 guidance to have a balance of K&A selections on the initial sample plan. One of these 4 happen to fall into the 10 CFR 43 category so there are actually 26 SRO only questions on the SRO exam that are in the 10 CFR 43 category.

A. Isolate letdown.
B. Manually actuate SIAS.
C. Manually actuate CIAS.
D. Manually actuate CSAS.
Answer:
C. Manually actuate CIAS.
Notes:
SIAS would already have automatically actuated, therefore L/D would already have isolated. CIAS should be manually actuated due to high Containment Radiation to preclude the possibility of releases from containment.
CSAS should not be automatically or manually actuated during a Small Break LOCA at the existing containment pressure in order to maintain RCPs running

Description:
Knowledge of the physical connections and/or cause-effect relationship between the Containment Purge System and Engineered Safeguards.
Question:
Containment Purge will be automatically secured on all of the following EXCEPT:
A. Hi-Hi alarm signal on Radwaste Area Disch 2VEF-8A/B Process Rad Monitor 2RITS-8542.
B. Hi-Hi alarm signal on Containment Purge Disch 2VEF-15 Process Rad Monitor 2RITS-8233.
C. Hi Containment Pressure of 18.3 psia.
D. Pressurizer Pressure of 420 psia with a variable low pressure setpoint of 450 psia.
Answer:
A. Hi-Hi alarm signal on Radwaste Area Disch 2VEF-8A/B Process Rad Monitor 2RITS-8542.
Notes:
Answers B, C and D are wrong because these signals will cause an automatic termination of the containment purge system. All of these three signals will cause at least one supply and return containment Isolation to automatically close. B because of high exhaust activity, C because of a SIAS and CIAS, and D because of a SIAS signal. The isolation closing will cause a low suction pressure trip of the exhaust unit and the supply unit has to see the exhaust unit running or it will trip after a 10 second time delay.

Description:
Knowledge of the interrelations between the Pressurizer Pressure Control Malfunction and its associated controllers and positioners.
Question:
Given the following plant conditions:
- Plant Power is 100%.
- All controllers are in their normal system lineup.
- Pressurizer Pressure is 2230 psia and controller selected to 'A'.
- Pressurizer Level is 65% and controller is selected to 'A'.
- No evolutions in progress.
- 2Y1 Power is lost and immediately restored.
- All components and controllers operate as designed.
With no operator action, which of the following is correct?
A. Both spray valves at 40% open, only backup heaters will be on.
B. Both spray valves closed, all backup and proportional heaters will be on.

Given the following plant conditions:
- Fire results in a control room evacuation.
- Immediate actions are completed successfully.
- RO #2 is performing follow-up actions and discovers the VCT outlet valve, 2CV-4873 has developed a hot short.
Which of the following actions should the RO #2 take:
A. The breaker to the VCT outlet valve should be opened and the valve opened.
B. The breaker to the VCT outlet valve should be opened and the valve closed.
C. The breaker to the VCT outlet valve should be closed and left in hot short position.
D. The VCT outlet valve should be isolated by a manual valve and breaker remains as is.
Answer:
B. The breaker to the VCT outlet valve should be opened and the valve closed.
Notes:
Note: a hot short causes the valve to fail in its undesirable position, in this case open.
'A' is wrong because with pressure in the VCT, proper boric acid will not be injected into RCS from BAMT gravity feed valves.
'B' is correct because the valve can not be close manually until it is deenergized.
'C' is incorrect because of same reason as 'A'; but it would be appropriate to open the valve breaker.
'D' is incorrect since there is no manually isolation for the VCT outlet valve.

B. Emergency Feedwater Pump 2P7B.
C. Auxiliary Feedwater Pump 2P75.
D. Condensate Pump 2P2A Answer:
B. Emergency Feedwater Pump 2P7B Notes:
'A' is incorrect since the steam driven pump is not running and is assumed to have failed on overspeed and will take additional time to reset.
'B' is correct since it is motor driven and has throttle valves on it's discharge to each SG to minimize the possibility to damage feed ring on establishment of feeding SG's. This is the first pump that the EOP directs recovery of and is thus considered the preferred pump when it becomes available.
'C' is incorrect since it is non-vital powered.
'D' is incorrect since SG pressures are above shutoff head and a cooldown will be required before it can feed the SG's.

Ability to determine/interpret corrective actions required for high fission product activity in RCS.
Question:
Given the following plant conditions:
- Unit is operating at 100% power following a Plant Startup from a Refueling Outage.
- RCS Letdown Gross Rad Monitor (2RITS-4806A) reads 1E5 CPM and is slowly rising.
- Chemistry samples indicate that RCS activity is approaching the Technical Specification limits.
Which ONE of the following actions should be taken due to the rising RCS activity?
A. Bypass Letdown Demineralizers and swap the VCT inlet to the Hold Up Tanks.
B. Minimize Letdown to allow more dilution inventory from Charging into the RCS.
C. Increase Letdown flow to maximize RCS activity cleanup using demineralizers.
D. Isolate RCS Letdown Gross Rad Monitor (2RITS-4806A) to prevent over-ranging.
Answer:
C. Increase Letdown flow to maximize RCS activity cleanup using demineralizers.
Notes:
Tech Guide for High Activity in the RCS, AOP 2203.020 Step 3, states that raising Letdown flow will raise the rate of fission product removal and should offset any the raised dose seen by personnel due to the raised flow rate. This makes answer C correct. Answer A is wrong because it would only move the fission products to another tank which would have to be processed later. B is incorrect because too much inventory added to the RCS would violate Technical Specifications. D is incorrect because we want to continue to monitor RCS activity with this monitor.

Knowledge of the operational implication of the definitions of Core Quadrant tilt as they apply to Dropped Control rod.
Question:
Given the following plant conditions:
- Plant is at 100% power.
- Control Element Assembly, (CEA) 047 drops to 100 inches withdrawn.
COLSS calculated Azimuthal Tilt (AZ Tilt), will:
A. be a higher value than before the dropped CEA.
B. NOT change following the dropped CEA.
C. stop calculating following the dropped CEA.
D. be a lower value than before the dropped CEA.
Answer:
A. be a higher value than before the dropped CEA.
Notes:
'B' & 'D' are incorrect since the core tilt will be higher due to the reduced flux in the quadrant (fuel assembly) that has the dropped CEA.
'C' is incorrect since the incore calculated AZ tilt will only stop calculating below 15% power.
'A' is correct since the affected fuel assembly and core quadrant incores will detect the reduced flux and the increased flux in the rest of the core quadrant incores, therefore AZ tilt magnitude will be higher than initial calculated AZ tilt.

Pressurizer Vapor Space Accident System Number 008 K/A: AK2.02 RO Tier: 1 RO Group: 2 RO Imp: 2.7 SRO Tier: 1 SRO Group: 2 SRO Imp: 2.7
Description:
Knowledge of the interrelations between the Pressurizer Vapor Space Accident and the sensors and detectors.
Question:
Given the following:
- Reactor tripped.
- Pressurizer Pressure equals 2400 psia.
- Quench tank temperature equals 180°F.
- Quench tank pressure equals 10 psig.
- All systems and components are operating as designed.
- Assume Pressurizer Relief Tailpipe temperature alarm is not present .
Which of the following PZR relief valve tail pipe temperatures indicate a code safety leak?
A. 240°F B. 193°F C. 180°F D. 662°F Answer:
A. 240°F Notes:
Must convert quench tank pressure to absolute 10+15 = 25 psia Must look up saturation pressure for 25 psia and interpolate between 20 and 30 psia.
250.34 - 227.96 = 22.38 ; 22.38/2 = 11.19 227.96 + 11.19 = 239.15 Therefore 240 °F is the most credible of the given choices.
Distracter 'D' is not a credible value given the above conditions since it is the saturation temperature for 2400 psia with 25 psia backpressure in the line. For that temperature to be seen, a partial blockage must occur in the tailpipe so that 2400 psia backpressure is seen on the leaking PZR relief valve.

Question:
Given the following plant conditions:
- All components aligned in normal 100% power lineup.
- Reactor Makeup Water Flow Control Valve in "Dilute" position.
- A VCT level transmitter reference leg develops a leak.
- All systems / components operate as designed.
Which of the following actions should be completed:
A. Close Reactor Makeup Water Flow Control Valve, 2CV-4927, due to valve opening.
B. Isolate letdown flow due to loss of charging flow.
C. Switch VCT inlet/divert valve , 2CV-4826, to the VCT, due to valve opening to BMS.
D. Open VCT outlet valve, 2CV-4873-1 due to valve closing.
Answer:
C. Switch VCT inlet/divert valve , 2CV-4826, to the VCT, due to valve opening to BMS.
Notes:
VCT level transmitters will fail high on loss of reference leg.
'A' is incorrect due to Valve only opening if Reactor Makeup Water Flow Control Valve is in the 'Automatic' position.
'B' is incorrect since VCT level is not in the CCP stopping circuit, on actual low level in the VCT the low CCP suction pressure switch will stop the CCP, if SIAS is not present.
'C' is correct since the VCT inlet/divert valve will switch to the BMS position on a high level (78%)
'D' is incorrect since the RWT to CCP suction will not automatically open although actual VCT level will drop.

Question:
Given the following:
- A plant trip has occurred.
- SPTAs are in progress.
- CBOR notes that one CEA is not fully inserted.
- All Reactor Trip switchgear breakers are open.
The correct action to take based on these conditions would be to:
A. Continue to assess other safety functions because the Reactivity Safety Function is met.
B. Initiate emergency boration to ensure adequate shutdown margin is obtained.
C. Remove power to the CEA by depressing the DSS Emergency Trip pushbutton.
D. Remove Power to the CEA by de-energizing both MG sets for 10 seconds.
Answer:
B. Initiate emergency boration to ensure adequate shutdown margin is obtained.
Notes:
At ANO the SPTAs direct that emergency boration be implemented if all CEAs are not fully inserted.
Emergency boration is implemented conservatively until there is a peer check on amount of CEAs inserted at which point emergency boration can be terminated. IAW the SPTAs step 3.B, the reactivity safety function can only be met if emergency boration is in progress. Power has already been removed from the CEA by the fact that the Reactor trip breakers are open.

Knowledge of abnormal condition procedures.
Question:
Given the following:
- RCS leakage to the "B" Steam Generator has been calculated to be 20 gpm.
- RCPs 2P32A and 2P32C are running.
- A plant cooldown is now directed by the AOP procedure.
The plant should be cooled down to below 520°F by _______ indication to ensure that
_______________________________________________ after the "B" Steam Generator is isolated.
A. Thot; Main Steam Safety valves do NOT lift.
B. Tcold; Main Steam Safety valves do NOT lift.
C. Thot; Margin to Saturation is maintained >30°F.
D. Tcold; Margin to Saturation is maintained >30°F.
Answer:
A. Thot; Main Steam Safety valves do NOT lift.
Notes:
As directed by steps 16 and 17 of AOP 2203.038, the RCS must be cooled down to less than 520°F by Thot indication because the SG pressure will go to Thot saturation pressure when it is isolated. The 520°F corresponds to a temperature below the lowest set pressure Main Steam Safety valves thus they will not lift.
Margin to Saturation should always be maintained > 30°F if possible but this is based on RCS pressure at any RCS temperature.

Description:
Ability to determine viable alternatives for placing plant in a safe condition when condenser is not available when SGTR present.
Question:
Given the following plant conditions:
- A complete Loss of Offsite Power occurs from 100% Power Operations.
- Both EDGs start and tie onto their respective safety buses.
- During SPTAs, RCS Pressure starts to drop rapidly and is currently 1575 psia.
- Steam Generator "A" level is 55% and rising rapidly.
- Steam Generator "B" level is 23% and being maintained with EFW.
- Main Steam Line "A" Radiation monitor readings are rising.
To place the plant in a safe condition and minimize any radioactive release will require the RCS to be COOLED down to less than 520°F by:
A. Backflowing the "A" Steam Generator to the RCS.
B. Steaming both Steam Generators to the atmosphere.
C. Steaming both Steam Generators to the Condenser.
D. Steaming the "B" Steam Generator to the atmosphere.
Answer:
B. Steaming both Steam Generators to the atmosphere Notes:
Answer A is wrong because for the given conditions, backflowing the SGs to the RCS is not possible. This is the step to take after the cooldown to minimize the release of radioactive water. B is incorrect because the Condenser is not available due to the loss of circulating water and the inability to maintain a vacuum -
condenser interlock prevents opening Steam Dump bypass valves to the condenser. D is incorrect because this will only cool down the B Steam Generator and the goal is to cool the ruptured Steam Generator below the saturation temperature for the lowest MSSV lift setpoint prior to isolation. Therefore answer C is the only viable option for cooling the plant down in preparation for Steam Generator isolation.

- Plant was operating at 100% Power.
- Both Main Feedwater Pumps tripped on low suction pressure.
- EFW Pump 2P7B fails to start.
- All other components operate as designed.

A. Secure all running RCPs to minimize the amount of heat input into the RCS.
B. Maintain two (2) RCPs running with one in each loop to balance SG heat removal.
C. Cooldown and depressurize the RCS to maximize margin to saturation.
D. Maximize steam generator blowdown to increase the heat removal rate from the RCS.
Answer:
A. Secure all running RCPs to minimize the amount of heat input into the RCS.
Notes:
With no feedwater available, the SG inventory would be rapidly depleted with the 4 MW of heat input to the RCS per RCP. The ORP for Loss of Feedwater directs securing of all RCPs thus preventing a more rapid loss of SG inventory due to this heat input.

A. 2DG1 can be started from the control room but has to be secured locally.
B. 2DG1 has to be started locally but can be secured from the control room.
C. 2DG1 has to be started and stopped locally in the diesel room.
D. 2DG1 can be started and stopped remotely from the control room.
Answer:
C. 2DG1has to be started and stopped locally in the diesel room.
Notes:
To start and stop an EDG requires DC control power to energize the air start solenoids and the shut down relay to dump hydraulic fluid off the governor to place the fuel racks in the no fuel position. However, the air start solenoids can be manually overridden open locally and a backup source of 12 VDC power can be aligned for field flashing. This will get the EDG started. The manual pushbutton that actuates the mechanical overspeed shutdown device can be pushed locally to shut the engine down with a loss of DC. This explanation makes answers A, B and D wrong

Question:
Given the following:
- A Liquid Release Permit has been requested for Boric Acid Condensate Tank, 2T-69A.
- Chemistry has returned the permit to operations after sampling and analyzing the tank.
- While conducting the source check on the BMS Liquid Discharge Radiation Monitor, 2RE-2230 it is determined that the radiation monitor is not responding.
- The Shift Manager declares 2RE-2230 inoperable.
To prevent an accidental release of a non-permitted tank, the release of 2T-69A cannot continue unless:
A. the Plant Manager has approved the release with an inoperable radiation monitor.
B. independent verification of tank samples, release rate data, and lineup completed.
C. the inoperable radiation monitor, 2RE-2230, is returned to an operable status.
D. contingencies for analyzing grab samples every two (2) hours are established.
Answer:
B. independent verification of tank samples, release rate data, and lineup completed.
Notes:
In accordance with the requirements in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) Specification L2.1.1, a liquid release of an onsite tank can continue with an inoperable radiation monitor as long as an independent sample is taken and analyzed to ensure release limits will not be exceeded. Also an inoperable radiation monitor requires an independent check of the proper valve lineup to ensure the sampled tank is the one released. Plant Manager approval is not required specifically for this case. His approval of plant procedures in general allows this exception. Grab samples during the release are not specified in the OCDM requirement nor the procedure.

Description:
Knowledge of the interrelationships between the Area Radiation Monitoring (ARM) System Alarms and the detectors at each ARM location.
Question:
Given the following plant conditions:
- The Plant is at 30% Power coming out of a refueling outage.
Which SET of the following radiation monitors, if in alarm, would provide the best indications of a primary to secondary leak? (Assume both are in alarm)
A. The N-16 monitor and condenser off-gas radiation monitor.
B. Main steam line radiation monitor and CCW loop II radiation monitor.
C. Auxiliary Building 335' elevation area monitor and the N-16 monitor D. Loop I CCW radiation monitor and the condenser off-gas radiation monitor.
Answer:
A. The N-16 monitor and condenser off-gas radiation monitor.
Notes:
The N-16 monitors are much more sensitive at low power than the main steam line radiation monitors and along with the condenser offgas monitor, should provide positive indication of a SG tube leak. The CCW loop monitors and Aux Building area monition on elevation 335' should not be affected.

Pzr Level Control Malfunction System Number 028 K/A: AA1.07 RO Tier: 1 RO Group: 3 RO Imp: 3.3 SRO Tier: 1 SRO Group: 3 SRO Imp: 3.3
Description:
Ability to operate and/or monitor charging pumps in maintenance of Pzr level as applied to the Pzr Level Control Malfunctions.
Question:
Given the following plant conditions:
- The plant is at full power.
- Pressurizer Level Control System master controller is in AUTO REMOTE.
- Pressurizer Level Control is selected to "CH 4627-A".
- Pressurizer Heater Low Level Cutout is selected to "A&B".
- Charging Pump Selector Switch, 2HS-4868, is in "A&B".
- Pressurizer Reference leg 2LT-4627-1 develops a leak.
- No operator action is taken.
WHICH ONE of the following describes the response of the Pressurizer Level Control System?
A. Charging Pumps A and B start, heaters energize, letdown flow decreases.
B. Charging Pumps A and B start, heaters cutout, letdown flow decreases.
C. Charging Pumps A and B get a stop signal, heaters energize, letdown flow increases.
D. Charging Pumps A, B, and C get a stop signal, heaters cutout, letdown flow increases.
Answer:
C. Charging Pumps A and B get a stop signal, heaters energize, letdown flow increases.
Notes:
The reference leg leak will cause a high indicated level input to the Pressurizer Level controller and associated bistables to cause level to indicate above setpoint by > 4.5%. This will in turn send a stop signal to the backup charging pumps in this case pumps A and B (the lead pump will continue to run), a signal to energize all pressurizer heaters and force the Letdown Flow Controller to maximum output.

Description:
Knowledge of the operational implications of the principle of cooling by natural convection as they apply to Loss of Offsite Power.
Question:
During a natural circulation cooldown, which ONE (1) of the following pressurizer level responses would indicate the presence of a void in the reactor vessel upper head?
A. A Pressurizer level increase when charging flow is directed through the auxiliary sprays.
B. A Pressurizer level decrease when charging flow is directed through the auxiliary sprays.
C. A Pressurizer level increase when charging flow is directed into the cold legs.
D. A Pressurizer level decrease when there is an increase in the cooldown rate.
Answer:
A. A Pressurizer level increase when charging flow is directed through the auxiliary sprays.
Notes:
Answer A is correct because a lowering of pressure in the pressurizer would cause expansion of the bubble in the head forcing water up into the pressurizer - just the opposite of answer B. Answer C is wrong because a level increase should be expected with charging going to the loops. Answer D is wrong because a cooldown should contract the RCS and lower Pressurizer level.

- A Shutdown Bank Control Element Assemblies (CEAs) have been pulled to their "Full Out Position".
- The CBOR is pulling Regulating Group CEAs using the "Manual Sequential", MS, mode during a Reactor Startup.
- CEA Regulating group 3 is currently at 108.7 inches withdrawn.
- No other CEA mode of operation has been used by the CBOR during this Reactor Startup.
- No CEAs have been repositioned to minimize finger wear in accordance with 2102.004 Attachment D, Programmed CEA Insertion to Minimize CEA Finger Wear.
- All systems operate as designed.
At this point CEA Regulating Group 2 will be at the _________________________ and CEA Regulating Group 4 should be at __________ inches withdrawn.
A. Upper Electrical Limit; 10 B. Upper Group Stop; 10 C. Upper Electrical Limit; 60 D. Upper Group Stop; 60 Answer:
B. Upper Group Stop; 10 Notes:
In the Manual Sequential Mode of operations, the Upper Group Stop (145 Inches withdrawn) will prevent further CEA movement to the Upper Electrical Limit (150 inches withdrawn). This makes answers A and C wrong.
The next subsequent groups begins to move out when the previous group reaches the Upper Sequential Permissive at 98.7 inches withdrawn so group 4 would be at 10 inches withdrawn at 108.7 inches withdrawn on group 3. This makes D wrong.

Description:
Knowledge of the effect of a loss or malfunction of containment isolation valves will have on RCP operation.
Question:
Given the following plant conditions:
- The plant is at 100% power.
- An inadvertent CIAS occurs.
- Crew has entered 2203.039, Inadvertent CIAS.
- CCW to Reactor Coolant Pumps (RCPs) CANNOT be restored within 10 minutes of event initiation.
- Crew trips the plant and secures all RCPs.
The correct action to take next to prevent RCP seal failures due to heat buildup would be to:
A. Start all available Containment Cooling Units aligned to Service Water.
B. Commence a rapid plant cooldown to Shutdown Cooling entry conditions.
C. Verify RCP Controlled Bleedoff is isolated to the VCT and Quench Tank.
D. Make a Containment entry and Isolate RCP vapor seal leakoff to the RDT.
Answer:
C. Verify RCP Controlled Bleedoff is isolated to the VCT and Quench Tank.
Notes:
The answer to this question is based on the caution and step 4E in 2203.039 which requires the controlled bleedoff path to be secured to prevent RCS water flowing up through the RCP seal package thus eliminating the heat source to the seals. A and C are options that may be taken later to cool the RCS/Containment but this will not prevent RCP seal failures from occurring in the near term. D would only isolate a very small flowpath back to the RDT but the major flowpath would still be available.

Description:
Ability to monitor automatic operation of the CVCS including effects of Tave and Tref.
Question:
The plant status is as follows:
- Reactor power is 80% and stable.
- Tavg = Tref at 570°F.
- Pressurizer Level indicates 50%.
- Pressurizer Level Controller is in Remote Auto.
- Letdown Flow Controller is in Automatic.
- All three Charging Pump hand switches are in Automatic.
- Charging Pump Selector switch is in the "B & C" position.
The correct alignment regarding the status of Charging and Letdown for this condition would be: (Reference Material Provided)
A. Three (3) Charging Pumps will be running with maximum letdown flow B. Two (2) Charging Pumps will be running with maximum letdown flow C. Three (3) Charging Pumps will be running with minimum letdown flow D. Two (2) Charging Pumps will be running with minimum letdown flow Answer:
C. Three (3) Charging Pumps will be running with minimum letdown flow Notes:
B and D are wrong because the level deviation between the actual pressurizer level and the pressurizer level setpoint for the above stated conditions is ~ 6%. This would start both backup charging pumps along with the running lead Pump A.
A would be wrong because the level deviation would also make the letdown flow controller output go to its minimum automatic control level output to attempt to raise Pressurizer level.
This question will requires 2102.004 Attachments C and E to be used as a reference.

A. +/- 2%; Turbine First Stage Power B. +/- 2%; COLSS Calorimetric Power C. -0.5/+10%; Turbine First Stage Power D. -0.5/+10%; COLSS Calorimetric Power Answer:
B. +/- 2%; COLSS Calorimetric Power Notes:
A is incorrect because Turbine First Stage Power is not the power used for comparison.
B is correct because Note 2b of T.S. Table 4.3-1 requires the three powers listed above to be within the absolute value of 2% of the COLSS Calorimetric Power when above 80% power.
C & D are valid distracters because the limits used are valid for plant power between 15% and 80% but incorrect because of the stem conditions.

Instrumentation inside Containment that have recently been identified to demonstrate erratic behavior based on the temperature and pressure changes above are:
A. Steam Generator pressure instruments B. Pressurizer pressure instruments C. Low Range radiation monitors D. Reactor Coolant System temperature instruments Answer:
D. Reactor Coolant System temperature instruments Notes:
Erratic behavior of RCS temperature instrument were noticed during a 14 day Containment Fan Cooler Operability test during July of 2001 due to warmer Service Water heating up the Containment. This caused an erratic trend in a concurrent RCS leakrate procedure. Pressure instruments should not be affected due to a vacuum reference leg. High Range radiation monitors have been identified to be inaccurate in a harsh Containment environment but not the Low Range monitors.

Description:
Knowledge of the physical connections and/or cause effect relationships between the MFW System and the RCS.
Question:
Given the following conditions:
- A reactor trip was initiated by low Steam Generator Pressure on both SGs ten minute ago.
- A Main Steam Isolation Signal, MSIS, was generated at the trip.
- Both SG levels are 23% Narrow Range and slowly restoring.
- RCS T-ave is 550°F.
The correct status of the following Main Feedwater System components would be:
A. Main Feedwater Pumps at 3030 rpm, Main Feed Regulating Valves Closed, Main Feed Regulating Bypass valves at approximately 19% open.
B. Main Feedwater Pumps at 3030 rpm, Main Feed Regulating Valves Closed, Main Feed Regulating Bypass valves at approximately 5% open.
C. Main Feedwater Pumps at turning gear speed, Main Feed Regulating Valves Closed, Main Feed Regulating Bypass valves at approximately 50% open.
D. Main Feedwater Pumps at turning gear speed, Main Feed Regulating Valves Closed, Main Feed Regulating Bypass valves at approximately 35% open.
Answer:
D. Main Feedwater Pumps at turning gear speed, Main Feed Regulating Valves Closed, Main Feed Regulating Bypass valves at approximately 35% open.
Notes:
The Main Feedwater Pumps will go to minimum speed of 3030 rpm on a reactor trip; however in this case both MSIVs should be closed due to an MSIS signal so no steam is available to the MFW turbine therefore they will slow down and go on the turning gear. This makes answers A and B wrong.
The MFRV always closes on a trip due to RTO. The MFRV Bypass valve modulate based on a T-ave of 548.24 at ~19% open position to a T-ave of 552 at 50% open. With the given conditions, T-ave should be calculated to be 550 which should place the bypass reg. valves at approximately 35 % open. This is based on a calculation of 4.12% flow demand at 550 degrees F T-ave. Therefore C is wrong.

Question:
Given the following plant conditions:
- Plant is operating at 100% power.
- 125 VDC Panel 2D26 supply breaker trips open due to a fault on the bus.
- 10 minutes later, the plant trips from 100% power due to a Loss of Offsite Power.
- Both steam Generator levels drop to 20% Narrow Range Level.
- All systems operate as designed under these conditions.
The response of the Emergency Feedwater System would be:
A. 2P-7A would automatically start and feed only the 'A' SG.
B. 2P-7B would automatically start and feed only the 'A' SG.
C. 2P-7A would automatically start and feed both SG's.
D. 2P-7B would automatically start and feed both SG's.
Answer:
D. 2P-7B would automatically start and feed both SG's.
Notes:
A loss of the 2D26 bus would prevent the normally closed upstream discharge MOVs from the 2P-7A EFW pump from opening and 2P7A would not start so no flow would come from the 2P-7A pump. This makes answers A and C wrong. Both AC powered MOVs on the discharge of the 2P-7B would come open providing a flow path through the downstream MOVs to provide flow to both steam generators and not just the 'A' SG. This makes answer B wrong.

Description:
Ability to operate and/or monitor in the control room transfer from boron storage tank to boron injection tank.
Question:
Given the following conditions:
- Plant is at 100% power.
- Safety Injection Tank (SIT) "A" is at 80.3% and 605 psig.
- After filling, SIT "A" is at 87.7% and 625 psig.
In accordance with Technical Specifications (TS), after completion of this task the CBOT should:
A. Contact Chemistry to sample SIT "A" within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />.
B. Restore SIT "A" level to within the TS limits C. Restore SIT "A" pressure to within the TS limits.
D. Take no additional actions based on this task.
Answer:
C. Restore SIT "A" pressure to within the TS limits.
Notes:
Safety Injection Tanks are required to be sampled if a > 5% level rise occurs unless the level rise occurred due to an addition from the RWT. This is the source of water for the HPSI pump at 100% power. This makes distracter A wrong. SIT A level parameters given are within the TS limits therefore distracter B is wrong.
Answer C is correct because the SIT pressure is above the TS limit of 624. Distracter D is wrong because an action is required.

Description:
Knowledge of the effect of a loss or malfunction of the PZR sprays and heaters will have on the PZR Pressure Control System.
Question:
Given the following:
- The plant is at 100% Power.
- Pressurizer Pressure Channel Select Switch is selected to "A".
- Pressurizer Pressure Controller, 2PIC-4626A, is in Automatic.
- All other Pressurizer pressure controls are in their normal configuration.
- Selected pressure transmitter 2PT-4626A fails High.
- All other systems respond as designed.
- No operator action is taken.
Considering only the effects of Pressurizer pressure, which ONE of the following correctly describes the response of the plant?
A. All backup heaters energize, spray valves stay closed, and the plant trips on RPS trip on high Pressurizer Pressure at 2362 psia.
B. All backup heaters energize, spray valves stay closed, and the plant trips on CPC Aux trip on high Pressurizer Pressure at 2375 psia.
C. All backup heaters remain off, spray valves open, and the plant trips on RPS trip on Low Pressurizer Pressure at 1675 psia.
D. All backup heaters remain off, spray valves open, and the plant trips on CPC Aux trip on Low Pressurizer Pressure at 1860 psia.
Answer:
D. All backup heaters remain off, spray valves open, and the plant trips on CPC Aux trip on Low Pressurizer Pressure at 1860 psia.
Notes:
With the pressure transmitter failed high, the output of the controller will sense a high input pressure and open the main spray valves fully and de-energize all backup heaters. With the spray valves fully open, Pressurizer Pressure will drop with no operator action and trip the plant on a CPC auxiliary trip pressure of 1860 psia.

Question:
Given the following plant conditions:
- Plant is operating at 100% power.
- PPS Channel B High Containment Pressure bistable is in the tripped condition and bypassed.
- PPS Channel C High Containment Pressure transmitter fails high.
- The CBOT goes to bypass affected tripped bistable on PPS Channel C.
Which ONE of the following is the correct response of the PPS System on the High Containment Pressure bistables when the CBOT goes to bypass the affected tripped bistable on Channel C PPS?
A. Both the Channel B and C bistables will be bypassed.
B. Both the Channel B and C bistables will NOT be bypassed.
C. The C bistable will be bypassed and the B bistable will NOT be bypassed.
D. The B bistable will be bypassed and the C bistable will NOT be bypassed.
Answer:
B. Both the Channel B and C Bistables will NOT be bypassed.
Notes:
Due to the design of the PPS, it will not physically allow two channels to be placed in bypass at the same time.
There are conditions where a trip in one channel is placed in "trip" and the same trip in another channel is placed in "bypass". This would change the normal trip logic from 2 out of 4 to 1 out of 2. Distracters C & D appear to be valid distracters by presenting incorrect information.

A. CPC COLSS Dropped Rod Contact PDIL Alarms UEL, LEL Lights Major CEA Deviation Alarms Notes:
The RSPTs are the safety related rod position indications which go to the safety systems and the maximum rod stop indications such as CPCs, Upper Electrical Limit (UEL), Lower Electrical Limit (LEL) and the dropped rod contacts. The Pulse counters are the non-safety rod position indication and go to the non-safety systems such as COLSS and the Plant Computer which drives the Power Dependent Insertion Limit (PDIL) Alarm and the CEA Group deviation Alarms. Answer A is the only one above with the correct combination.

Question:
Given the following plant conditions:
- The plant has tripped from 100% power due to a Loss of Offsite Power (LOOP).
- RCS pressure is 2100 psia and slowly dropping.
- Steam Generator pressure is 940 psia and slowly dropping in both SGs.
Which ONE of the following actions should be taken to prevent further pressure reduction in the Steam Generators and overcooling of the RCS.
A. Close the Upstream ADV isolation because the Upstream ADV fails open on a LOOP.
B. Close the MSIVs because the Downstream ADV fails open on a LOOP.
C. Close the MSIVs because the MSR 1st stage reheat isolations remain open on a LOOP.
D. Close the MSIVs because the MSR 2nd stage reheat isolations remain open on a LOOP.
Answer:
D. Close the MSIVs because the MSR 2nd stage reheat isolations fail open on a LOOP.
Notes:
A is incorrect, the Upstream ADVs do fail open on a Loss of Power but are normally isolated at power by a closed MOV. B is incorrect because the downstream ADVs are powered from Vital buses and would retain power and control at setpoint. C is incorrect because the MSR 1st stage reheat is supplied from turbine extraction steam which would be isolated by the Main Turbine Stop valves automatically. D is correct because the MSR 2nd stage reheat isolation come directly off of the Main Steam Header and is a Non Vital Powered MOV.

Description:
Knowledge of the effect that a loss or malfunction of the Condenser Air Removal System will have on the main condenser.
Question:
Given the following plant conditions:
- The plant is at 100% power.
- Condenser Vacuum starts to degrade.
Which ONE of the following describes the design of the Condenser Vacuum System that will prevent continued degradation of Condenser vacuum.
A. Condenser Vacuum Pump 2C-5A will shift to the "Hogging" mode of operation at 4" HgA vacuum in the condenser and prevent further loss of vacuum.
B. Condenser Vacuum Pump 2C-5A will shift to the "Holding" mode of operation at 6" HgA vacuum in the condenser and prevent further loss of vacuum.
C. Condenser Vacuum Pump 2C-5B will startup at 4" HgA vacuum in the condenser and will be operating in the "Holding" mode after the inlet diaphragm valves are opened.
D. Condenser Vacuum Pump 2C-5B will startup at 6" HgA vacuum in the condenser and will be operating in the "Hogging" mode after the inlet diaphragm valves are opened.
Answer:
C. Condenser Vacuum Pump 2C-5B will startup at 4" HgA vacuum in the condenser and will be operating in the "Holding" mode after the inlet diaphragm valves are opened.
Notes:
The "Hogging" mode of operation on the operating or the started standby air evacuation pump will not occur until vacuum degrades to 7" HgA. This makes answers A and D wrong. The "Holding" mode of operation is achieved on an increasing vacuum at 5"HgA. For the given conditions the 2C-5A Vacuum pump would already be in the holding mode of operation; therefore, answer B is wrong. Answer D is also wrong because the auto start of the standby pump is at 4" HgA vacuum.

Knowledge of the effect that a loss or malfunction of the DC electrical system will have on the EDG.
Question:
Given the following plant conditions:
- The Plant is at 100% power.
- 2DG2 is at 2850 KW for surveillance testing.
- A fault on 2D02 causes the loss of all Green DC.
- All other equipment operates as designed.
- Assume no operator action.
One minute into this event, 2DG2 would be:
A. Running and paralleled with offsite at approximately 2850 KW B. Secured due to a loss of electrical governor control power C. Running but unloaded because the output breaker opened D. Running on the mechanical governor and loaded to 2A4 only Answer:
A. Running and paralleled with offsite at approximately 2850 KW Notes:
To start and stop an EDG requires in-house DC control power but when the EDG is running, the power to the governor speed control circuit is supplied from potential transformers on the output voltage of the Diesel itself.
Thus when the diesel is running a loss of its associated vital DC should have no impact and the Diesel will remain tied to offsite at full load. No Breakers should reposition because they have lost control power to open them so answer B and C are wrong. Answer A is wrong because it takes DC power to energize a shutdown solenoid to secure the EDG.

Description:
Knowledge of the operational implications of radiation theory, including sources, types, units and effects as they apply to the Process Radiation Monitoring System.
Question:
Given the following plant conditions:
- Plant has returned to 100% power from 70% power.
- Annunciator 2K12-A1, "LETDOWN RADIATION HI/LO has actuated.
- CBOT is directed to monitor RCS Gross and Iodine activities on Letdown Radmonitor Recorder, 2RR-4806, on 2C-22.
If RCS Iodine 131 Activity has caused the alarm, then ___________________ should be suspected but if RCS Gross Activity has caused the alarm, then __________________ should be suspected.
A. RCS crud burst; Letdown filter damage B. Fuel cladding damage; RCS crud burst C. Letdown filter damage; Fuel cladding damage D. RCS crud burst; Fuel cladding damage Answer:
B. Fuel cladding damage; RCS crud burst Notes:
The differential pressure across the Letdown radiation monitors is driven by the pressure drop across the Letdown filter. The only way Letdown filter damage could cause a rise in RCS activity is if it as located upstream of the radiation monitor. As such they are in parallel to the radiation monitors thus answers A and C are wrong. D is wrong because it is the reverse of the correct answer B.

Description:
Knowledge of Circulating Water System design feature(s) and interlock(s) which provide for heat sink.
Question:
Given the following plant conditions:
- Plant is at 100 % power.
- Circulating Water Pump 2P-3B trips on undervoltage due to an electrical fault.
- All equipment operates as designed.
Vacuum will degrade and:
A. cause a turbine trip because the discharge valve will not close until the Circulating Water System is shutdown allowing vacuum to drop below 7.8" HgA vacuum .
B. cause a Turbine trip because the discharge valve closes completely in slow speed allowing vacuum to drop below 7.8" HgA vacuum.
C. then stabilize at a degraded pressure because the discharge valve starts closing in fast speed and then shifts to slow speed as the valve approaches the closed seat.
D. then stabilize at a degraded pressure because the discharge valve closes completely in fast speed preventing backflow through the idle pump.
Answer:
C. then stabilize at a degraded pressure because the discharge valve starts closing in fast speed and then shifts to slow speed as the valve approaches the closed seat.
Notes:
The closing actuation of the CW pump discharge valves actuates two different speed clutches. 1st the fast speed clutch is engaged on a pump trip to rapidly ramp the valve closed to 17% open to prevent reverse flow and thus a loss of heat sink to the condenser. After this the slow speed clutch is engaged to continue closing the valve against a higher differential pressure until it is fully closed. This interlock is designed to prevent a turbine trip on low vacuum from 100% power due to a loss of the condenser heat sink on a loss of one Circulating Water Pump.

Ability to (a) predict the impacts of steam dumps not cycling properly at low load, or stick open at higher load (isolate and use atmospheric reliefs when necessary) on MTG system and (b) based on those predictions, use procedures to correct, control, or mitigate the consequences of those malfunctions or operations.
Question:
Given the following plant conditions:
- The plant is at 100% power.
- A failure in the Steam Dump and Bypass Control System (SDBCS) has caused the first valve in the Valve Group Sequence Program, Steam Dump to the Main Condenser, 2CV-0303, to fail full open.
- All other SDBCS valves remain closed.
If no operator action was taken, Reactor power would rise to _________ and the correct action to take to close 2CV-0303 would be to ________________________________________________.
A. 110%; place the permissive handswitch for 2CV-0303 to MANUAL position B. 105%; place the permissive handswitch for 2CV-0303 to OFF position C. 110%; place the permissive handswitch for 2CV-0303 to OFF position D. 105%; place the permissive handswitch for 2CV-0303 to MANUAL position Answer:
B. 105%; place the permissive handswitch for 2CV-0303 to OFF position Notes:
The capacity of 2CV-0303 is 5% and the other steam dumps are 11.5%. One of the other dumps would go above the Linear Power high trip setpoint of 110% power which would be the maximum power achieved. This makes answers A and C wrong. Going to Manual on the permissive switch provides a one out of two required signals to open 2CV-0303. Going to Off prevents any open signals from reaching 2CV-0303, removes all air and the valve fails closed.

- The plant has been tripped due to low SG pressure.
- SG #1 pressure is 850 psia and slowly recovering.
- SG #2 pressure is 725 psia and slowly dropping.
- Containment pressure is 19.3 psia and slowly rising.
At this point, the flowpath for RCP controlled bleed-off would be directed to:
A. The Volume Control Tank B. The Reactor Drain Tank C. The RCS Quench Tank D. The Containment Sump Answer:
C. The RCS Quench Tank Notes:
The Containment Isolations for Controlled Bleed-off will close on a CIAS due to Containment Pressure above the setpoint of 18.3 psia. This will cause the controlled bleed-off pressure to rise to the controlled bleed-off relief setpoint of 2PSV-4836 set at 150 psig. This will direct controlled bleed-off to the RCS Quench Tank.
The VCT is the normal path for the bleed-off flow path. The Reactor Drain Tank has the majority of CVCS and ECCS relief drain paths. The containment Sump collects all other drains inside containment.

Notes:
For closed Reference exam, a copy of T.S. 3.2.1, 3.2.4 and 3.2.7 should be provided along with COLR Figure 4 and applicable Limit steps.
Based on the given parameters and COLR Figure 4, DNBR is outside the acceptable range for 80% power so T.S. 3.2.4 action b applies. LPD is within the LCO limit of the COLR of <13.5. The limits calculated in the AOP for DNBR and LPD are the average of the 4 readings taken above plus or minus a margin so at this point the calculated limits are not exceeded and an immediate power reduction is not required.

Description:
Ability to explain and apply all system limits and precautions.
Question:
The Reactor Startup procedure, 2102.016, requires that the RCS average temperature remain greater than or equal to 525°F when the Reactor is critical.
One of the reasons for this limitation is to ensure:
A. Moderator Temperature Coefficient is within its analyzed temperature range.
B. Shutdown margin is adequately maintained during power escalation.
C. CEA rod worths are within their analyzed Core Reload assumptions.
D. Core Operating Limits Supervisory System (COLSS) is calculating POL margins.
Answer:
A. Moderator Temperature Coefficient is within its analyzed temperature range.
Notes:
Answers A, is the only reason above listed in the basis for TS 3.1.1.5 for maintaining the RCS above 525°F.
This is where the limitation of OP 2102.016, Reactor Startup, Step 5.14 comes from. Shutdown margin is maintained by keeping CEAs above the Transient Insertion limits given in the COLR. CEA rod worth assumptions are based on normal operating temperature of 545°F. COLSS start calculating POLs at 15 %
power and above.

- Plant is in Mode 6.
- Refueling shuffle is in progress from the Reactor to the Spent Fuel Pool (SFP).
- Refueling Cavity water level is 401 feet 6 inches.
- A Non Licensed Operator (NLO) informs the control room that both doors on the Containment access personnel airlock are wide open.
The correct response to this report would be to:
A. Immediately suspend all movement of irradiated fuel inside containment and at the SFP.
B. Immediately suspend core alterations and irradiated fuel movement inside Containment.
C. Have the NLO close one airlock door and inform security of the Containment Breech.
D. Have the NLO verify that either one of the airlock doors is capable of being closed.
Answer:
D. Have the NLO verify that either one of the airlock doors is capable of being closed.
Notes:
TS Amendment 230 to TS 3.9.4 allows the personnel airlock doors to remain open during core alterations as long as a minimum of one of the two doors is capable of being closed. This is a new amendment that no longer requires one of the airlock doors to be closed during core alteration. Since the LCO is met with either airlock door capable of being closed, then the actions to suspend core alterations or irradiated fuel movement do not apply.

- The plant has tripped from 100% Power.
- RCS pressure is 1600 psia and lowering.
- RCS T-cold is 505°F and lowering.
- Pressurizer Level is 10% and lowering.
- Containment pressure is 14.5 psia and stable.
- Containment temperature is 110°F and stable.
- No radiation alarms are present inside containment or on the Main Steam lines.

- B Steam Generator level is 20% NR and lowering.
- No Main Steam Safeties have lifted.
- No other abnormal conditions exist and all components have actuated as designed.
- All systems function as designed.
Which ONE of the following actions should be taken to stabilize plant pressure and temperature?
A. Manually initiate a MSIS and verify the Main Steam Isolation Valves go closed.
B. Take manual control of the FWC system and minimize Main Feed to Steam Generators.
C. Close both Main Steam to the EFW Pump Terry Turbine, 2P7A, isolation valves.
D. Take manual control of the HPSI system and throttle the excess flow to the RCS.
Answer:
C. Close both Main Steam to the EFW Pump Terry Turbine, 2P7A, isolation valves.
Notes:
Answers A and B are both incorrect because a MSIS should have already occurred causing the MSIVs and Main Feed Isolations to close so an excessive steaming path downstream of the MSIVs or an excessive feeding to the SGs should not exist. Answer D is incorrect because even though a SIAS has been initiated, the RCS pressure is still above the shutoff head of a HPSI pump so excessive cooling flow from the HPSI pumps should not exist. Answer C is correct because the steam isolations to the Terry Turbine are upstream of the MSIVs, 132

Question:
Given the following:
- The plant is at 100% Power.
- Annunciator 2K12 A-8, INSTR AIR PRESS HI/LO, comes in.
Which ONE of the following is the correct action to take if IA Header Pressure continues to drop?
A. At 35 psig, trip the Reactor and commence Standard Post Trip Actions.
B. At 40 psig, align Service Water to the Containment fan cooling units.
C. At 60 psig, open the IA cross-connect isolation valves from Unit 1.
D. At 65 psig, start the temporary IA Compressor and enter Loss of IA AOP.
Answer:
A. At 35 psig, trip the Reactor and commence Standard Post Trip Actions.
Notes:
The Loss of IA AOP entry conditions is 80 psig IA pressure and lowering so the AOP should have already been entered in answer A. Answer B is wrong because the cross-connect isolations should be opened at 80 psig and dropping and then closed at 60 psig and dropping to prevent a loss of IA on Unit 1. A loss of IA will cause an isolation of Main Chilled Water to the Containment Cooling Units so an option would be to line up Service Water to the units; however, this is not a step directed by the Loss of IA AOP thus answer C is wrong. The procedure directs tripping the unit at 35 psig IA header pressure.

Excess RCS Leakage System Number A16 K/A: 2.4.1 RO Tier: RO Group: RO Imp: SRO Tier: 1 SRO Group: 3 SRO Imp: 4.6
Description:
Knowledge of the EOP Entry conditions and immediate actions steps as related to Excess RCS Leakage.
Question:
Given the following:
- The plant is at 100% power when an RCS leak develops.
- Letdown is isolated.
- Pressurizer Level is 48%.
- The Swing Charging Pump 2P36C is powered from the red train.
- A 2A4 Electrical Bus lockout occurs.
Which ONE of the following describes the correct action to take at this point?
A. Commence a controlled plant shutdown and cooldown to Mode 5 conditions.
B. Stabilize plant power and restore the 2A4 Electrical Bus before continuing.
C. Trip the Reactor, commence SPTAs, and enter the LOCA Recovery Procedure.
D. Start a High Pressure Safety Injection Pump and shutdown to Hot Standby.
Answer:
C. Trip the Reactor, commence SPTAs, and enter the LOCA Recovery Procedure.
Notes:
With the loss of 2A4, only 2 charging pumps are available for makeup with a capacity of 88 gpm. The exit conditions for the RCS Excess leakage AOP is when the leak exceeds the charging pump capacity which is the case here. Step 4 of the AOP directs a Reactor trip and SPTAs when Pressurizer Level is > 10% deviated from setpoint (60% at 100% power) and still dropping with all available charging pumps running. A controlled plant shutdown is directed by the AOP only if within the capacity of the charging pumps. A RCS leak can be mitigated with one safety bus so the leak takes precedence over restoring the electrical safety bus. A HPSI pump cannot provide the additional makeup required at normal plant pressure during the shutdown.

Description:
Ability to determine and interpret facility conditions and selection of appropriate procedures during abnormal and emergency operations as they apply to the Reactor Trip/Recovery.
Question:
Given the following conditions:
- The Reactor has tripped.
- No Safety or Non-Safety 4160 VAC and 6900 VAC busses are energized.
- RCS Tcold is 555F and stable.
- Steam Generator levels are 15% and slowly trending down.
- Standard Post Trip Actions (SPTAs) are complete.
- The Crew has entered OP 2202.008, Station Blackout recovery procedure.
- Main Steam Isolation valves have been closed manually.
Which ONE of the following correctly describes the action the CRS should take?
A. Re-perform the Standard Post Trip Actions and re-diagnose the event.
B. Continue in the Station Blackout recovery procedure until <70 Inches SG Levels.
C. Exit the Blackout procedure and enter the Functional Recovery procedure.
D. Exit the Blackout procedure and enter the Loss of Feedwater procedure.
Answer:
C. Exit the Blackout procedure and enter the Functional Recovery procedure.
Notes:
With no feedwater available to feed the Steam Generators, the Station Blackout Procedure safety function for RCS Heat Removal is not being met. With two events and actions in the Blackout procedure not satisfying the respective safety functions, the EOP users guide states that the Functional Recovery Procedure (FRP) must be used (OP 1015.021 - Step 5.1.8 C.). Performing the SPTAs again will not help; however, Step 7E of OP 2202.008 sends the CRS directly back to diagnostics with out performing SPTAs and the diagnostics should send the crew to the FRP. The Crew cannot remain in the selected Optimum Recovery Procedure with out meeting all the safety functions. The Loss of Main Feedwater Procedure will not be effective without power.

Given the following:
- The plant has been shutdown for 3 days to conduct a refueling outage.
- The plant is in Mode 5.
- Shutdown Cooling is in service.
- RCS temperature is 135 degrees.
- Keff has been calculated to be 0.92.
- The Refueling Team has just completed removing the Reactor Vessel Maintenance Structure Mode 6 will be entered when:
A. RCS Temperature has been reduced below 125°F.
B. Reactor Vessel head bolts have been detensioned.
C. Keff has been reduced below 0.90.
D. RCS and Refueling Canal Boron concentration is > 2500 ppm.
Answer:
B. Reactor Vessel head bolts have been detensioned.
Notes:
Mode 6 is defined as Keff less than or equal to 0.95 with RCS temperature less than or equal to 140°F. In this question the RCS temperature and Keff already meet the Mode 6 requirements so that all that is left to enter Mode 6 is detensioning the Reactor Vessel Head. 2500 ppm boron concentration is the requirement to commence a fuel shuffle from the core to the Spent Fuel Pool.

As the responsible supervisor, you are performing an INTERIM approval for a permanent procedure change (PC) required to continue a HPSI pump quarterly surveillance conducted on the weekend. The 50.59 SCREENING for this PC indicates that a 50.59 EVALUATION must be completed.
Which of the following statements describes the correct action concerning the procedure change:
A. Approval can be granted as long as the OSRC, Onsite Safety Review Committee, reviews the 50.59 EVALUATION in fourteen days.
B. Do not approve it because a 50.59 EVALUATION is required.
C. Approval can be granted without completion of the 50.59 EVALUATION.
D. Do not approve it because a special OSRC, Onsite Safety Review Committee, must be called for approval.
Answer:
B. Do not approve it because a 50.59 EVALUATION is required.
Notes:
A SRO cannot approve an interim procedure change if the 50.59 screening requires a 50.59 evaluation since the change could affect a license bases document and therefore requires more scrutiny, additional reviews, prior to implementation. A standard procedure change process must be implemented.

Question:
An NRC commitment exists that requires a 30 day isolation of a gaseous decay tank (2T18) prior to release.
Which of the following best describes the reason for this requirement:
A. This requirement allows short lived gaseous activity present in the tank to decay.
B. This requirement ensures that all the radioactive gases have sufficient time to diffuse throughout the tank.
C. This requirement prevents purging the RCS to an isolated tank within the last 30 days.
D. This requirement ensures that an explosive mixture is not present in the tank during discharge.
Answer:
A. This requirement allows short lived gaseous activity present in the tank to decay.
Notes:
Distracter 'B' is incorrect since any gas present in the tank will readily diffuse throughout the tank.
Distracter 'C' is incorrect since this requirement is applicable for any release, since short lived decay products are present in the VCT.
Distracter 'D' is incorrect since oxygen and hydrogen readily diffuse throughout the tank and cannot collect in any 'pocket' within the tank that would necessitate a long wait period for diffusion.

A. Isolate flow to the radiation monitor.
B. Have WCO raise flow until alarm clears, up to flow limit.
C. Pull the card for the annunciator.
D. Station additional operator in control room to acknowledge alarm.
Answer:
B. Have WCO raise flow until alarm clears, up to flow limit.
Notes:
Distracter 'A' is incorrect although it will stop the nuisance alarm it will prevent monitoring RCS failed fuel.
Answer 'B' is correct as the nuisance alarm is cleared and monitoring function is maintained.
Distracter 'C' is incorrect because it is less preferred than raising the process flow since it eliminates the monitoring of flow through the rad monitor by alarm function.
Distracter 'D' is incorrect since this will add congestion to the control room and the horn and light will still be acknowledged.

Question:
Given the following plant conditions:
- 100% power, normal system alignment.
- Loop 2 SW is supplying ACW.
- #1 EDG is paralleled with off site power at 2850 KW.
- All systems are operating within normal temperature and pressure bands.
If 'A' Service water pump tripped and no operator action were to occur, which of the following would occur first:
A. #1 EDG scavenging air temp would exceed 180°F.
B. Letdown DI would be bypassed automatically.
C. SWC turbine runback.
D. RCP motor/bearing high temperature alarms.
Answer:
A. #1 EDG scavenging air temp would exceed 180°F.
Notes:
'A' is correct since the EDG is operating at full load and the EOP requires securing the EDG within 3 minutes if SW is lost.
Distracter 'B' is incorrect since it is cooled by CCW and the CCW system would have to heat up and then letdown would heat up which would all take longer than the EDG scavenging air temp.
Distracter 'C' is incorrect since ACW cools SWC heat exchanger and loop 2 is supplying ACW which is unaffected.
Distracter ' D' is incorrect since CCW cools these components and would take longer than the EDG scavenging air temperature to heat up to alarm setpoint and the AOP estimates 10 minutes on loss of CCW cooling flow before a RCP must be tripped..

B. Stop 'A' LPSI pump Notes:
Distracter 'A' is incorrect since the valve is deenergized open when in reduced inventory (2CV 5038-1 is available as an isolation to the SDC system). Isolation of SDC suction is desired, but only after the SDC pump is secured.
Distracter 'B' is correct since the possibility of cavitation is a concern.
Distracter 'C' is incorrect since isolation of the flow controller will not help mitigate the loss of inventory.
Distracter 'D' is incorrect since starting another SDC pump will only increase the possibility of cavitating the LPSI pumps and possibly gas binding the SDC system.

Steam Generator Tube Rupture System Number 038 K/A: EA2.08 RO Tier: 1 RO Group: 2 RO Imp: 3.8 SRO Tier: SRO Group: SRO Imp:
Description:
Ability to determine viable alternatives for placing plant in a safe condition when condenser is not available when SGTR present.
Question:
Given the following plant conditions:
- Reactor tripped with a SGTR in progress.
- SIAS, CCAS have been actuated.
- RCS pressure is 1200 psia.
- Ruptured SG pressure is 900 psia.
- Ruptured SG level is 47%.
- Condenser pressure is atmospheric.
The best method to cooldown and depressurize the ruptured SG given the above conditions is which of the following (assume all procedural steps to accomplish task have been completed unless precluded by above conditions):
A. Open the SG blowdown valves and EFW valves and feed and bleed SG.
B. Steam the SG using the upstream ADV's and feed with EFW.
C. Let the SG cool by ambient heat losses.
D. Lower RCS pressure to allow SG to drain to the RCS and expose SG tubes.
Answer:
D. Lower RCS pressure to allow SG to drain to the RCS and expose SG tubes.
Notes:
'A' is incorrect since condenser is not available, RCP's are running and it would use too much inventory.
'B' is incorrect since this would be an offsite radioactive release and the ruptured SG is well below the pressure that might lift an MSSV and ruptured SG level is not in danger or overfill concerns.
'C; is incorrect since this would take an inordinate amount of time resulting in unnecessary RCS inventory continuing to leak into the ruptured SG.
'D' is the preferred method described in the EOP.

Accidental Liquid Radwaste Release System Number 059 K/A: AA2.04 RO Tier: 1 RO Group: 2 RO Imp: 3.2 SRO Tier: SRO Group: SRO Imp:
Description:
Ability to determine and interpret the valve lineup for a release of radioactive fluid as they apply to the Accidental Liquid Radwaste Release.
Question:
Given the following plant conditions:
- Boric Acid Condensate Tank, 2T69A, has been placed on recirc for a sample (30 minutes ago).
- Annunciator 2K11-C10, PROCESS LIQUID RADIATION Hi/LO actuates.
- 2RITS-2330, Liquid Rad Waste Disch to Flume, count rate is increasing above alarm setpoint.
- Reactor Drain Tank (RDT) draining evolution to Hold Up Tank 2T-12A is in progress.
- All other systems are in normal valve configuration.
Which of the following should be done immediately to mitigate the radioactive liquid release?
A. Contact Unit 1 and have them start another circulating water pump.
B. Close Liquid Release Isolations 2CV-2330A/B by taking 2RITS-2330 selector switch to the check source position.
C. Secure draining operations from the RDT to 2T-12A.
D. Contact WCO and have him check Boric Acid Condensate Pump, 2P-47A, recirc valve fully open or secure 2P-47A.
Answer:
D. Contact WCO and have him check Boric Acid Condensate Pump, 2P-47A, recirc valve fully open or secure 2P-47A.
Notes:
Distracter 'A' is incorrect since it will not stop the accidental release, however it will minimize the release rate due to raising the dilution factor.
Distracter 'B' is incorrect since the radiation monitor is already in alarm and the valve should have already closed.
Distracter 'C' is incorrect since the flow path from the RDT to the 2T12 tanks cannot be aligned to the liquid radwaste header.
'D' is the correct answer. Given the above conditions, the only source of radioactive liquid is from the 2T69A recirc lineup with leakby past the discharge valve

Description:
Knowledge of the reasons for actions contained in AOP for Pressurizer Pressure Control Malfunctions.
Question:
Given the following:
- Plant is at 100% Power.
- A Pressurizer(PZR) Pressure malfunction has occurred.
- Procedure 2203.028, PZR Systems Malfunction, has been entered If both Pressurizer Pressure Control Channels have failed, the procedure directs the following actions:
- Place the Steam Dump Bypass Control System, SDBCS, Master controller in AUTO LOCAL and adjust setpoint to 1000 psia.
- Verify a maximum of one 11.5% SDBCS Bypass or Downstream Atmospheric Dump Valves, ADV, Permissive switch in MANUAL.
- Verify all other SDBCS Bypass and ADV Permissive switches in OFF The reason for the actions above are to:
A. Prevent spurious Quick Open signals to ALL SDBCS Bypass and ADV valves due to the failed PZR pressure bias input to the SDBCS Main calculator setpoint.
B. Limit the plant effects of any spurious open signals to the SDBCS Bypass and ADV valves due to failed PZR pressure bias input to the SDBCS Main and Permissive calculator setpoint.
C. Prevent spurious Modulation Open signals to ALL SDBCS Bypass and ADV valves due to failed PZR pressure bias input to the SDBCS Permissive calculator setpoint.
D. Limit the plant effects of any spurious open signals to the SDBCS Bypass valves due to failed PZR pressure bias input to the SDBCS Main calculator setpoint only.
Answer:
B. Limit the plant effects of any spurious open signals to the SDBCS Bypass and ADV valves due to the failed PZR pressure bias input to the SDBCS Main and Permissive calculator setpoint.
Notes:
Pressurizer Pressure Control Channel 1 inputs a bias to the SDBCS Main calculator while Pressurizer Pressure Control Channel 2 inputs to the SDBCS Permissive calculator. Since both Pressurizer Pressure Control channels have failed, all the ADVs and Bypass dump valves have the potential to open spuriously either by 158
Questions For 2002 SRO/RO Exam 17-Jan-02 quick opening or modulating due to incorrectly calculated setpoints on the Main and Permissive calculators. By taking these actions the effect to the plant will be limited to one SDBCS or ADV valve with a 11.5% steam flow capacity due to the permissive for the selected valve in manual with a setpoint from the master at 1000 psia setpoint. This makes answer C correct and the others wrong.
This question was generated from a randomly selected K/A to be part of the SRO exam and not on the RO exam; however, this question is not one of the 25 10 CFR 55.43 category questions selected for this exam. Four additional questions were selected to be on the SRO exam that are not on the RO exam to in order to comply with the NUREG 1021 guidance to have a balance of K&A selections on the initial sample plan. One of these 4 happen to fall into the 10 CFR 43 category so there are actually 26 SRO only questions on the SRO exam that are in the 10 CFR 43 category.

Description:
Ability to determine and interpret adherence to appropriate procedures and operation within the limitations in the facility's license and amendments.
Question:
Given the following:
- A Loss of offsite power has occurred.
- All systems respond as designed.
- The plant transient caused a Steam Generator Tube Rupture(SGTR) on the 'A' SG.
- SGTR Optimum Recovery Procedure 2202.004, has been entered.
- The 'A' Steam Generator has been isolated.
- A natural circulation cooldown to Shutdown Cooling entry conditions is in progress.
- Offsite Power is now restored.
- The decision has been made to restart forced circulation
- All Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) restart criteria has been met The correct sequence for restarting RCPs and the reason for this sequence is:
A. Start 1 RCP in the ruptured loop, wait 5 minutes, then start 1 RCP in the intact Loop 2, to prevent thermal shock to SG 'A' B. Start 1 RCP in the intact loop, wait 5 minutes, then start 1 RCP in the ruptured loop, to prevent rapid boron dilution in the reactor.
C. Start 2 RCPs in the ruptured loop, wait 30 minutes , then start 1 RCP in the intact loop, to prevent rapid boron dilution in the reactor.
D. Start 2 RCPs in the intact loop, wait 30 minutes, then start 1 RCP in the ruptured loop, to prevent thermal shock to SG 'A' Answer:
B. Start 1 RCP in the intact loop, wait 5 minutes, then start 1 RCP in the ruptured loop, to prevent rapid boron dilution in the reactor.
Notes:
A RCP in the intact (least affected) loop should be started first and flow should be allowed to stabilize for 5 minutes. Following the stabilization period the selected RCP in the ruptured loop should be enabled and started.
The 5 minute time delay is necessary to allow for mixing of a possible slug of water with reduced boron concentration from the ruptured SG loop. Loop 2 is the intact loop in this question making answers A and C wrong. Answer D is wrong because the delay time is much greater than 5 minute and the shocking the ruptured 160

During the performance of a resin transfer to a cask in the train bay, a qualified Category III Radiation worker must enter a high radiation area. Which ONE of the following correctly satisfies the Radiological Protection(RP) entry requirements in addition to an approved RWP.
A. Knowledge of the dose rates in the area, obtain an appropriate radiation survey meter, and wear an electronic alarming dosimeter.
B. Always have a Radiological Protection personnel escort with an appropriate survey meter and wear an electronic alarming dosimeter.
C. Knowledge of the dose rates in the area, obtain an appropriate radiation survey meter, and wear a self reading pocket dosimeter (SRPD).
D. Always have a Radiological Protection personnel escort with an appropriate survey meter and wear a self reading pocket dosimeter (SRPD).
Answer:
A. Knowledge of the dose rates in the area, obtain an appropriate radiation survey meter, and wear an electronic alarming dosimeter.
Notes:
As long as the individual is qualified a Category III Radiation worker, he does not require a RP escort to enter the area. All RO trainees are qualified as a CAT III Radiation worker. However with out an RP escort the entering individual must be informed of the area dose rates. An alarming dosimeter is always required when entering a high radiation area. The SRPDs do not have an alarming function. This makes answer A correct and the rest wrong.

- The plant is at 100% Power.
- The Low Steam Generator(SG) Level Bistable on PPS Channel D has been declared inoperable due to spurious trips and has been placed in Trip Channel Bypass.
- Currently there is no Low Steam Generator(SG) Level Bistable trip in on PPS Channel D.
To comply with Technical specifications and allow I&C to perform repairs, the correct sequence of actions to take would be:
A. Within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> from the loss of power, remove channel D from bypass, then place channel B in bypass, then place channel D in trip.

Question:
Given the following conditions:
- The plant is in Mode 3.
- RCS Tave is 505°F.
- Preparations are being made to start the 4th Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP)
When the RCP is taken to START, which ONE of the following design features is provided to prevent an electrical bus undervoltage event:
A. An undervoltage relay block on the vital 4160 volt AC busses for 25 seconds.
B. An undervoltage relay block on the vital 480 volt AC busses for 25 seconds.
C. A source undervoltage relay block on the Startup #3 for 45 seconds.
D. A 2H1/2H2 bus undervoltage lockout relay block for 45 seconds.
Answer:
B. An undervoltage relay block on the vital 480 volt AC busses for 25 seconds.
Notes:
The undervoltage protection relaying circuit is blocked on the vital 480 volt busses 2B5/6 for 25 seconds on a RCP start due to past industry experience shows that there is a potential to degrade the vital 480 volt busses low enough to auto start the EDGS. If the undervoltage relay block stays in for more than 45 seconds , then an alarm, 2B5/6 Protection Inoperative, comes in the control room The other relays in the three distracters are not blocked thus they are wrong.

Description:
Ability to operate and/or monitor operating behavior characteristics of the facility as they apply to Loss of Feedwater.
Question:
Given the following conditions:
- The plant has tripped from 100% power on low Steam Generator 'A' Level.
- Containment pressure is 20 psia and rising rapidly.
- Containment sump levels are rising rapidly.
- Steam Generator Pressures are 1000 psia and constant
- Steam Generator 'A' level is 20% and slowly dropping.
- Steam Generator 'B' level is 40% and slowly dropping.
- Feedwater flow to 'A' Steam Generator is very erratic.
- Hotwell level is dropping rapidly.
- All other conditions are normal.
The above conditions would indicate a:
A. Excess Steam Demand inside containment upstream of the 'A' Main Steam Isolation but downstream of the 'A' Steam flow venturi.
B. Loss of Coolant Accident inside containment in the Loop 1 RCS Hot leg on the Pressurizer Surge line.
C. Feedwater Line Break inside containment downstream of the Inlet Feedwater Check Valve, 2FW-5A.
D. Feedwater Line Break inside containment upstream of the Inlet Feedwater Check Valve, 2FW-5A.
Answer:
D. Feedwater Line Break inside containment upstream of the Inlet Feedwater Check Valve, 2FW-5A.
Notes:
Steam Generator 'A' Pressure and level would drop rapidly if an Excess Steam demand event or Feedline Break were to occur downstream of the Feedwater Line Check valve. With the constant SG pressure and slowly dropping SG level indications given (due to steaming to the Main Condenser via SDBCS), the leak is upstream of the check valve 2FW-5A. This makes answer D correct and distracters A/C wrong. Answer B is wrong because no radiation indications are rising.

Question:
Given the following:
- A plant startup is in progress late in core life.
- CEA Regulating Group 'P' is at 120 inches withdrawn and the reactor is CRITICAL.
- All Critical Data has been taken.
- All PPS High Log Power Trips have been bypassed.
- All CPC channels have been removed from bypass.
- Reactor Power is 2E-2%
- The CBOR selects Manual Group 'MG' CEA Mode and withdraws CEA Group 'P' to 130 inches withdrawn to commence an up power.
- The CBOR takes the CEA Mode select switch to OFF.
- The CBOR reports that Group 'P' CEA #26 is continuing to step out.
With no operator action, reactor power would ___________________ and the correct direction to give to the CBOR would be to__________________________________________________.
A. continue to rise without stopping; trip reactor and enter Standard Post Trip Actions.
B. rise to a higher level and stop; select Manual Individual (MI) CEA Mode and Insert CEA #26.
C. rise to a higher level and stop; trip reactor and enter Standard Post Trip Actions.
D. continue to rise without stopping; select Manual Individual (MI) CEA Mode and Insert CEA #26.
Answer:
C. rise to a higher level and stop; trip reactor and enter Standard Post Trip Actions.
Notes:
Reactor power would start to rise but late in core life, a definite negative moderator temperature coefficient would be offset by the positive reactivity added by the one withdrawing CEA and level reactor power. The CEA would only go to 150 inches withdrawn and be stopped by the upper electrical limit. The correct action to take in the CEA Malfunction AOP step 2 is to verify all CEA movement stopped and if not, the contingency is to trip the reactor. The correct combination is answer C and the other distracters are wrong.

- Current SDC flow is oscillating between 200 and 400 gpm.
- The inservice LPSI pump amps are oscillating between 25 and 30 amps.
Which ONE of the following is the correct response to these conditions?
A. Enter the Loss of SDC procedure, contact Instrument and Control technicians to investigate indicators for possible failure and initiate a MAI.
B. Enter the Loss of SDC procedure, secure the LPSI Pump, and go to the Lower Mode Functional Recovery procedure.
C. Enter the Lower Mode Functional Recovery procedure and leave the running LPSI pump in service for RCS heat removal concerns.
D. Enter the Lower Mode Functional Recovery procedure, secure the LPSI Pump, then go to the Loss of SDC procedure.
Answer:
B. Enter the Loss of SDC procedure, secure the LPSI Pump, and go to the Lower Mode Functional Recovery procedure.
Notes:
Actions to take for indications of a cavitating LPSI are found in the Loss of SDC procedure so this should be entered first. This procedure directs securing of the running LPSI pump if flow is less than 500 gpm and then directs that the Lower Mode Recovery procedure be implemented. Distracter A is incorrect because of more than one indication shows an actual malfunction occurring. Distracter C is incorrect because leaving the pump running could air bind both trains of SDC causing a longer recovery time. Distracter D is incorrect because of the reversal of procedures of the correct answer B.

Question:
Given the following:
- The CRS directs the CBOR to "Make the Alpha Charging Pump the lead pump" In accordance with OPS Directive COPD-001, Operations Standards and Expectations, which ONE of the following would be the correct CBOR communication response and action to this direction?
A. "Understand make 2P36A the lead pump"; perform the action; inform the CRS when action is complete; update the status board.
B. "Understand make 2P36A the lead Pump"; wait for CRS to acknowledge; perform the action; update the status board.
C. "Understand make Alpha Charging Pump the lead pump"; wait for CRS to acknowledge; perform the action; inform the CRS when action is complete.
D. "Understand make Alpha Charging Pump the lead pump"; perform the action; inform the CRS when action is complete.
Answer:
C. "Understand make Alpha Charging Pump the lead pump"; wait for CRS to acknowledge; perform the action; inform the CRS when action is complete.
Notes:
A proper repeat back of a given direction would include the noun name of the component using the phonetic alphabet. After the repeat back of the direction, closure of the third leg is required prior to taking action. All actions taken by the board operator due to direction given by the CRS require a report back to the CRS when complete. Distracter A does not use the noun name/phonetic alphabet nor does it include the third leg of the communication. Distracter B does not use the noun name/phonetic alphabet and the CRS is not informed when action completed. Distracter D does not include the third leg of the communication/direction given.

Question:
Given the following:
- During the use of the Functional Recovery Procedure, an assessment of safety functions has been completed and the RCS Inventory safety function is not meeting its acceptance criteria.
- All other safety function acceptance criteria is being met.
RCS Inventory is considered a __________________ safety function and should be addressed A. Challenged; after Reactivity Control but before Containment Isolation.
B. Jeopardized; after Reactivity Control but before Containment Isolation.
C. Jeopardized; prior to all the other safety functions.
D. Challenged; prior to all the other safety functions.
Answer:
C. Jeopardized; prior to all the other safety functions.
Notes:
Answer B is the correct definition of the stem in accordance with the EOP users guide definition 4.34.9.
Challenged means the acceptance criteria is met but trending the wrong way and action is required to prevent loss of the safety function so distracter A is wrong (definition 4.34.3). Impacted is the term used to describe a low level in a steam generator requiring a slow refill so distracter C is wrong(definition 4.34.7). Disturbed is not a term used in the functional recovery procedure so distracter D is wrong.

Question:
Given the following:
- The plant is in mode 5 for a refueling outage.
- Steam Generator (SG) Nozzle Dam placement is in progress.
- During placement of hot leg nozzle dams on the 'A' SG, an individual received a Shallow Dose Equivalent (SDE) to his left hand of 25 Rem.
- The local dose rate in the 'B' Steam Generator hot leg nozzle dam area is 50 Rem per hour.
- This same individual is tasked with installing the 'B' SG hot leg nozzle dam.
How long could this individual keep his left hand in the 'B' SG hot leg nozzle dam area and not exceed his SDE administrative extremity limit?
A. 18 minutes B. 30 minutes C. 42 minutes D. 60 minutes Answer:
A. 18 minutes Notes:
