Discussing designed in the stem, but Answers C and D are not related to design, would be related more to reason. May need to modify question to include purpose of safety valves and discuss reason in the answer.

32*

H 3

X No E

Not clear how this question ties to RO/SRO duties. The engineering and maint console is located in the cable spread room. Isnt the K/A asking about auto operation of SG level control. This question deals with display of an alarm panel and not impact on auto operation or level.

The distractors dont appear to be plausible. What other fuel building rad monitors are there? If you werent sure of the answer, you could simply pick RM-59, New Fuel Storage Area monitor, because this is the only rad monitor associated with the fuel building.
