Proposed Answer: D Justification:
D is correct. For the conditions given (WCS NRHX tube leak), WCS flow will enter the CCP system because WCS system pressure is higher than CCP system pressure. As a result, the WCS system will isolate on high differential flow (after a 45 second time delay) AND CCP Surge Tank level will rise until it reaches the atmospheric vent, at which time it will overflow into the Reactor Building. A is incorrect because the WCS system will isolate AND the CCP Surge Tank level rises. B is incorrect because the WCS system will isolate. C is incorrect because the CCP Surge Tank level rises.

Proposed Question: RO 74 The plant is operating at 85% power, with the following:
0 7 Condensate Demins are in service and 2 in standby Fourth Point Heater drain pump 'A' trips on electrical fault.
Which one of the following describes the effect on the Condensate Demineralizer differential pressure (D/P) and the required actions?
A.
D/P lowers, remove Demineralizers as necessary.

C.
D/P lowers, verify closed Condensate Demineralizer Bypass Valve.
D.
D/P rises, place in service standby Demineralizers as necessary.
Proposed Answer: D Justification:
D is correct based on the loss of the pumping forward by one heater drain pump. Condensate System Flow rises and causes a higher demineralizer D/P and a drop in Booster Pump Suction pressure. Placing additional demineralizers in service will restore system dp. A is the inverse of the correct answer, C adds the normal power to be lowered to in N2-SOP-8 for unplanned power changes.

2.2.28 Importance Rating 2.6 Proposed Question: RO 92 The plant is in MODE 5 with the following conditions:
A Core Reload is in progress All SRM's are OPERABLE All control rods are in the core Which one of the following conditions requires the Reactor Operator to notify the Fuel Handling SRO to stop fuel movement in accordance with N2-FHP-1 3.2, Complete Core Reload?
A.
Only radio communication between control room and refuel floor is available.
B.
High radiation level alarm on either 2HVR*CAB32A or 2HVR*CAB32B.
C.
Control rod 22-31 full-in position indication is lost in the control room.
D.
SRM Channel 'A' high voltage power supply fails.
Proposed Answer: C Justification:
C is correct - FHP-13.2 requires fuel movement be stopped if any control rod (not removed from the core) full-in position indication is lost. A is incorrect TRM 3.9.3 Bases allows any mode of direct communication between the control room and refuel floor, including radio. B is incorrect - ARP for 851254 (Process Airborne Radiation Monitor Activated) requires entry into N2-SOP-39, Refuel Floor Events, if either HVR Above Refuel Floor monitor (2HVR*CAB14A/B) alarms. The CAB32's are the Below Refuel Floor monitors. D is incorrect - Stem conditions specify that all 4 SRM's are OPERABLE; an INOP condition (i.e, the HV power supply failure) on the 'A' SRM channel still leaves 3 SRM's operable. Tech Spec 3.3.1.2 (Table 3.3.1.2-1) requires only 2 operable SRMs for the stem conditions.

2.4.22 Importance Rating 4.0 Proposed Question: SRO 98 A LOCA is in progress with the following conditions:
RPV water level is being maintained at 30 inches with Feedwater Suppression Chamber Spray is in service Drywell Sprays are available AND not in service Pressure Suppression Pressure is being exceeded by 0.5 psig Which one of the following describes the actions that are to be taken to control Primary Containment Pressure, per the EOPs?
A.
Immediately Spray the Drywell. Immediately Blowdown regardless of containment pressure response.
B.
Immediately Spray the Drywell. Blowdown only if sprays do not reduce containment pressure.
C.
Don't Spray the Drywell. Immediately Blowdown regardless of containment pressure response.
D.
Don't Spray the Drywell. Blowdown only if containment pressure cannot be maintained below design pressure limit.
Proposed Answer:
B Justification:
B is correct. N2-EOP-PC directs spraying the drywell with the current conditions.
Blowdown is not warranted, since all applicable actions have not yet been taken to reduce pressure. A is incorrect. An immediate blowdown is not required since DW Sprays have not yet been placed in service and are required to be in service.
CID is incorrect. DW Sprays have not yet been placed in service and are required to be in service.
EOP Bases for PCP-1 0 requires actions to be taken to lower pressure. PCP-1 1 to perform a blowdown assumes containment sprays have been ineffective in controlling DW pressure. Blowdown is not warranted unless DW Spray is in service AND pressure cannot be maintained below Pressure Suppression Limit Proposed references to be provided to applicants during examination: None Technical Reference(s):
