Given:
- Rx tripped from 100% power.
- Three CRDMs indicate 100% withdrawn.
- Boric Acid Pump P-39A is out of service.
You initiate Emergency Boration per RT-12.
Boric Acid Pump P-39B discharge pressure indicates 12 psig.
What operator actions are required for these conditions?
- a. Vent Makup Tank to lower pressure to 10 psig.
- b. Raise Batch Controller setting to maximum batch size (999999).
- c. Open both BWST Outlet valves CV-1407 & 1408.
- d. Verify Batch Controller Flow Control valve, CV-1249, is 100% open.
Answer:
- c. Open both BWST Outlet valves CV-1407 & 1408.
Notes:
Answer "c" is correct per RT-12, if Boric Acid pumps or controller is not working (as evidenced by low discharge pressure), then boration from BWST is initiated.
Answer "a" will lower MUT pressure to less than discharge pressure but is not procedurally directed and will not be successful.
Answer "b" is incorrect since Batch Controller should already be at maximum batch size.
Answer "d" is incorrect, while it may appear to increase flow procedure 1103.004 specifies that this valve should not be opened greater than 20%.

Plant startup in progress with reactor power at 5 %.
Condenser E-11A Vacuum Pressure Switch (PS-2850) fails to 0" Hg.
What effect will this have on Turbine Bypass Valve (TBV) and Atmospheric Dump Valve (ADV) operations?
- a. All TBVs will remain open, both ADV isolations will open and both ADV control valves will remain closed.
- b. Only TBVs for E-11A will close, both ADV isolations open and
'A' SG ADV will begin controlling 'A' SG pressure.
- c. All TBVs will close, both ADV isolations will open and both ADV control valves control at setpoint
- d. Only TBVs for E-11A will close, both ADV control valves and both ADV isolations will open.
Answer:
- c. All TBVs will close, both ADV isolations will open and both ADV control valves control at setpoint Notes:
With only one vacuum pressure switch made up, all condenser TBVs will close, both ADV isolations will open and both ADV control valves will control Steam Generator pressure at a setpoint of 1020 psig. Thus the correct answer is (c) and all other responses are wrong.

Answer:
- a. The EDG output breaker will automatically close once the EDG has started and all other feeder breakers to it's respective bus are open.
Notes:
(a.) is correct. The EDG is automatically started upon either A3/A4 or B5/B6 bus undervoltage and the output breaker will automatically close if the normal feeder breaker to the 4160V ES bus has tripped and one of the A3/A4 tie breakers is open.
(b.) is incorrect. The undervoltage relay will not prevent the EDG output breaker from closing.
(c.) is incorrect. At least one A3/A4 crosstie breaker must be open for the EDG output breaker to close.
(d.) is incorrect. With only one EDG available, only the ES bus loads should be placed on the diesel.

Answer:
- c. Throttle HPI valve with 180 gpm flow until flow is 145 gpm.
Notes:
Answer [c] is correct since only one HPI pump is in service and although SCM has not been established, HPI flow must be throttled due to possibility of an HPI line break robbing flow.
Answer [a] is incorrect, although high HPI flow thru one nozzle would be indicative of a break in this line, the line should not be isolated.
Answer [b] is incorrect although stopping HPI pump will stop possible LOCA pathway on that train, it is incorrect since only one pump is running.

- "A" HPI pump flow throttled to 100 gpm through CV-1220

- d. Start P-36B to supply 100 gpm train through CV-1220.
Answer:
Notes:
"a" is the only correct action with the loss of the A-3 bus and the "A" LPI pump. The criteria for throttling HPI is contingent upon both LPI pumps flow >2800 gpm OR one LPI pump >3200 gpm, therefore full HPI flow must be restored on the only running HPI pump. "b" and "c" are actions to restore proper electrical alignment but they do not address the immediate need of maintaining proper core cooling. "d" is incorrect since flow is only supplied at the 100 gpm rate.

Answer:
- c. Depress CRD power supply breaker trip PBs on C03.
Notes:
Candidate should know that "C" is the first action which should be attempted, this is the most expedient action to insert negative reactivity into the core to shutdown the reactor. A reactor trip is required due to loss of MFW to "B" OTSG.
"A" and "D" are also followup actions, "D" should only be done if "C" is unsuccessful. "A" is a followup action to verify turbine has tripped but is a lower priority to reactivity.
"B" is a method of emergency borating to insert negative reactivity but is slow and thus a lower priority to step "C".

Given:
- During a reactor startup with source range NI-2 and reactor power wide range recorder NR-502 inoperable, source range NI-1 fails to 10 E5.
- Intermediate range NI-3 indicates 5 E-11 amps
- Intermediate range NI-4 is off scale low.
What is required of the CBOR?
- a. Continue the startup utilizing NI-3 until NI-4 comes on scale.
- b. Perform a plant shutdown in accordance with normal operating procedures due to lack of proper overlap.
- c. Trip the reactor due to no on-scale indication of neutron flux available.
- d. Hold power constant and perform an NI calibration.
Answer:
- c. Trip the reactor due to no on-scale indication of neutron flux available.
Notes:
[c] is correct per guidance in 1203.021, if the recorder NR.502 is inoperable AND no SR channel is >10 E5 cps AND no IR channel is > 1 E-10 amps AND 3/4 PR instruments are <10% power, then no on-scale flux indication exists and the reactor must be tripped.
[a] is incorrect, although NI-4 might come on scale, the startup should not be continued without valid neutron flux indication.
[b] is incorrect, although shutting down is conservative, per procedure the reactor must be tripped immediately.
[d] is incorrect, this action sounds like it could rectify this situation, however, it would be impossible to calibrate the NI's at this point and would be contrary to procedural guidance.

The main fuel bridge has a spent fuel assembly in route to the RB upender when a seal plate NI cover failure occurs.
Water level in the canal is falling at two inches per minute.
The main fuel bridge operator should:
- a. Continue to the upender and place the assembly in the upender.
- b. Leave the fuel assembly in the mast and evacuate the area.
- c. Place the assembly in the fuel rack in the deep end of the canal.
- d. Return the assembly to any available location in the reactor vessel.
Answer:
- d. Return the assembly to any available location in the reactor vessel.
Notes:
In this scenario the fuel transfer canal level is decreasing rapidly and thus shielding for the spent fuel assembly will be decreasing rapidly and the fuel assembly must be placed in an area that will remain covered with water after the canal is drained.
Therefore, "d" is the only correct answer. "a" is incorrect as this is a time consuming maneuver and the transfer tube should be isolated anyway to prevent losing level in the SFP. "b" is very incorrect since this will expose the assembly to atmosphere and dose rates will be lethal for quite some time. "c" is incorrect since the deep end will not contain enough water to keep the assembly covered.

Answer "b" is correct since xenon has peaked at it's highest concentration pre-trip resulting in the highest rod index.
Answer "d" is incorrect since Xenon is essentially depleted at ~80 hours following a reactor trip from 100%
power (thumb rule), thus adding essentially no reactivity for which rod withdrawal must compensate for.
Answer "a" is incorrect since xenon is still building in at this time and is not at its peak value, and "c" is incorrect because at this time the core is moving towards being xenon free.

Given:
- Power escalation to 60% power is in progress.
- Current reactor power is 40%.
- There are 3 RCPs in service.
- "A" RCP is out of service due to an electrical fault in breaker H-11 (Reactor Coolant Pump P-32A).
Which of the following conditions would cause an automatic reactor trip?
- a. Annunciator "RCP TRIP" (K08-A6) is clear, RCS flow is lowering and "C" RCP amperage is zero on SPDS.
- b. Annunciator "RCP TRIP" (K08-A6) is in alarm, RCS flow is lowering and "H2 L.O. RELAY TRIP" (K02-A5) in alarm.
- c. Breaker B-7146 (ICW Booster Pump P-114A) trips open and P-114B fails to auto start causing a loss of RCP Seal Cooling.
- d. Breaker H-21 (Reactor Coolant Pump P-32D) trips open due to an over-current condition causing a loss of the "D" RCP.
Answer:
- b. Annunciator "RCP TRIP" (K08-A6) is in alarm, RCS flow is lowering and "H2 L.O. RELAY TRIP" (K02-A5) in alarm.
Notes:
(b.) is correct. The indications are for a loss of H2 bus which leaves only one RCP running at power. RPS will trip if no RCPs are running in a loop when greater than 0% power.
(a) is incorrect because indications are of a sheared shaft which requires a manual reactor trip.
(c) is incorrect because a loss of seal cooling alone will not cause a reactor trip.
(d) is incorrect because a loss of "D" RCP would result in one RCP in each loop with reactor power <55% - no automatic reactor trip will result.

the instrument air line to the following valves has been severed:
- CV-1235, Pressurizer Level Control

- a. Pressurizer level will rise continuously.
- b. Pressurizer level will rise to a higher steady state value.
- c. Pressurizer level will drop continuously.
- d. Pressurizer level will drop to a lower steady state value.
Answer:
- a. Pressurizer level will rise continuously.
Notes:
CV-1235 and CV-1222 fail as-is on a loss of instrument air.
CV-1223 fails closed and CV-1207 fails open on a loss of instrument air.
This will result in lower letdown flow and higher seal injection flow resulting in PZR level to continuously rise.
Thus "a" is the correct answer, all other answers are incorrect and could be chosen if candidate fails to recall failure modes.

Answer:
- a. Control rods move inward, feedwater flows go up.
Notes:
The mismatch alarm disables the SASS module automatic operation. When NI-6 fails to 125% power, ICS will see NI-6 as the input power. ICS will generate an error to drive rods in. AT the same time a cross-limit is generated to keep feedwater balanced with reactor power. Feedwater will go up. Therefore, "b", "c", and "d" are incorrect.

Initial Conditions:
- Reactor power 75%
- RCS pressure 2160 psig
- RCS Tave is 580 degrees What would be the immediate response of the Pressurizer Spray Valve (CV-1008) upon an 'A' MFW pump trip?
- a. Initially remain closed and then responds to pressure changes.
- b. Initially to 40% open and then responds to pressure changes.
- c. Initially to 75% open and then responds to pressure changes.
- d. Initially to 100% open and then responds to pressure changes.
Answer:
- a. Initially remain closed and then respond to pressure changes.
Notes:
(a.) is the correct answer. If reactor power was >80% or RCS pressure was >2205 psig, (d.) would have been the correct answer. Prior to the most recent modification on this circuitry, when RCS pressure reached 2205 psig with CV-1008 in auto, the spray valve would come open to 40%, however, the valve now is only open or closed with no control positions in between.

During a natural circulation cooldown, what could be used to determine the presence of head voiding in the reactor vessel OTHER than ICCMDS reactor vessel level indication?
- a. Pressurizer level rises while depressurizing.
- b. Thot tracking CET temperatures.
- c. RCS pressure drops rapidly with use of aux spray.
- d. Tcold rising with associated SG Tsat dropping.
Answer:
- a. Pressurizer level rises while depressurizing.
Notes:
(a.) is incorrect. If cooldown rate was excessive, it would cause head voids which would cause Pressurizer level to rise while depressurizing.
(b.) is incorrect. CET temperatures are not available with a loss of ICCMDS and SPDS.
(c.) is correct. If head voids are formed from an excessive cooldown rate, it will be difficult to reduce RCS pressure.
(d.) is incorrect. This would be an indication that natural circulation cooling does not exist, not that it is excessive.

Answer "c" is the correct response, the indications given are that of "A" RB Spray pump suction vortexing on the RB sump.
Answer "a" is incorrect, Spray flow will still be too high to alleviate vortexing.
Answer "b" is incorrect, although damage could occur if conditions are maintained, throttling will correct problem and it is desirable to maintain RB Spray flow.
Answer "d" is incorrect, throttling LPI flow to the minimum value could lessen vortexing, no procedural guidance of this kind exists. At one time it was discussed to throttle both RB Spray and LPI flow after swap to RB Suction but only Spray flow is throttled.

(a.) is incorrect. This would be the case if either level were out of spec high, however, the problem is the level on T-2B is out of spec low.
(b.) & (d.) are incorrect. N2 pressures are within the Tech Spec limits which ensure that the pressure meets the design bases for the system.
(c.) is correct. T-2B level is below the Tech Spec limit of 12.6 feet which is based on having sufficient volume to refill the core for adequate core cooling purposes.

- A reactor trip occurs from 100% power.
- TBV setpoint bias does NOT function.
- RCS pressure is 2020 psig.
You observe all of the PZR heaters turning off.
Why did this occur?
- a. 4160v bus transfer from Unit Aux to S/U #1
- b. RCS pressure is greater than heater setpoint
- c. PZR level decreased due to cooldown
- d. PZR swelled, squeezing the steam bubble Answer:
- c. PZR level decreased due to cooldown Notes:
"C" is correct due to cooldown from +100 psig bias to TBV setpoint not being applied causing RCS to shrink, resulting in PZR outsurge which could drop PZR level below the heater cutout setpoint of 55 inches.
"A" is incorrect, this has no effect on heater power.
"B" is incorrect because pressure will be decreasing due to cooldown.
"D" is incorrect because cooldown will cause a PZR outsurge, not an insurge.

Answer:
- c. The reactor building purge outlets should be opened first.
Notes:
"c" is correct, with RB pressure positive, the RB purge outlet valves are opened first to prevent reverse flow through the RB purge exhaust filters. Reverse flow through these filters can damage them.
"a" is incorrect, this will cause reverse flow through the purge exhaust filters.
"b" is incorrect, this is difficult to do and provides no assurance that reverse flow will not occur.
"d" incorrect, this is used to lower pressure in the RB at power but is not required prior to initiating purge during cold shutdown.

A break has occurred on the discharge line downstream of the discharge valve of in service Spent Fuel Cooling Pump (P-40A). The pump is stopped and the discharge valve is closed.
Which of the following statements is correct concerning the Spent Fuel Pool inventory?
- a. The SFP will drain to ~ 2 feet above the spent fuel assemblies.
- b. Emergency makeup from service water will be needed to prevent the SFP level from reaching the spent fuel assemblies.

Answer:
- c. The SFP level will stay relatively constant due to siphon holes in the discharge piping.
Notes:
(a.) & (b.) are incorrect. With no operator action at all, the lowest the level would go is ~3 feet to the bottom of the suction pipe. This is still ~ 20 feet above the fuel.
(c.) is correct. The discharge pipe has the siphon break holes located at normal pool level.
(d.) is incorrect. The suction pipe bottom is at ~3 feet, however, with the discharge valve closed the pool will stop draining out the break at the normal pool level due to the siphon holes on the discharge pipe.

During 3 circulating water pump operation, the 'A' circ water pump trips.
The standby circ pump was started and plant conditions have stabilized.
It is noticed that the condenser waterbox discharge temperature is 10 degrees higher and condenser vacuum has dropped.
Which of the following is the cause of this condition?
- a. The stopping and starting of a circ pump caused fouling to be removed from the tube sheet promoting better heat transfer capabilities.
- b. The discharge valve on the tripped pump did not go completely closed and circulating water is short cycling.
- c. The debris on the bar grates of the circulating water bays was stirred up during the circ pump swap causing reduced flow.
- d. These are normal conditions following rotation of circulating pumps and temperatures will return to normal within 30 minutes.
Answer:
- b. The discharge valve on the tripped pump did not go completely closed and circulating water is short cycling.
Notes:
(a.) is incorrect. Although some fouling can be removed during pump rotations, it should not result in a 10 degree change in waterbox discharge temperature.
(b.) is correct. The discharge valve on an idle pump can allow a significant amount of backflow from the operating pumps if it is not closed completely.
(c.) is incorrect. This condition is normal for a circ pump swap and may contribute to waterbox fouling, however, the service water system would be affected by this condition as well.
(d.) is incorrect. There should not be such a large temperature difference even if only 3 CW pumps are in service.

- c. To prevent nuisance alarms from the detector string
- d. To prevent manual actuation of the system on C463 Answer:
- a. To prevent actuation by a single detector string Notes:
Answer "a" is correct, the inhibit switch is used when one of the two detector strings is malfunctioning and it is desired to prevent an automatic actuation caused by a single failure of the remaining detector string.
Answers "b" and "d" are incorrect since the Inhibit switch does not have anything to do with any manual actuations.
Answer "c" is incorrect, the Inhibit switch works with the actuation circuit only and not with detection alarms.

- Nuclear ICW is in service supplying Spent Fuel Cooling.
- The WCO reports the Dirty Waste Drain Tank T-20 is rising and he doesnt know why.
Which of the following could be the cause of this condition?

- b. The ICW Discharge Cross-connect valves are leaking by.
- c. A Spent Fuel Filter relief valve is leaking by.
- d. The "A" Decay Heat Cooler has a leak.
Answer:
- b. The ICW Discharge Cross-connect valves are leaking by.
Notes:
Answer "b" is correct, discharge cross-connect valve leakage would result in overflow of the idle ICW surge tank. Therefore the ICW Surge Tanks are procedurally cross-connected to prevent the idle loop surge tank from overflowing. Overflow would be directed to the floor drains at the surge tanks, which drain to the T-20s.
Answer "a" is incorrect since the Surge Tanks are cross connected to prevent idle loop surge tank overflow.
Answer "c" is incorrect because the Spent Fuel Filter reliefs drain to the ABEDT.
Answer "d" is incorrect because the DH vaults drain to the AB Sump via manual isolations which are normally closed.

Plant operating at 100% power.
The instrument air line to Turbine Bypass Valve (CV-6688) valve operator is severed, causing the instrument air accumulator for CV-6888 to depressurize.
What effect will this have on CV-6688 operation?
- a. CV-6688 will go OPEN due to system pressure.
- b. CV-6688 will respond to NORMAL control signals.

Notes:
On a loss of instrument the accumulator for CV-6688 will maintain the valve closed for a period of time. But the given condition of a failure of the instrument air line to the valve operator will result in a loss of accumulator pressure. At the given power level, the valve will be forced open by steam pressure. Therefore the only correct response is (a).

During a loss of offsite power with a SG tube leak, the A2 bus is re-energized from the A4 bus. The A4 bus is supplied by #2 EDG.
What is the key reason for this action?
- a. To start P-7B EFW pump and secure P-7A.
- b. To restart Circ. Water and re-establish condenser vacuum.
- c. To allow operation of the Aux Feedwater pump (P-75).
- d. To re-establish Instrument Air and ICW cooling.
Answer:
- d. To re-establish Instrument Air and ICW cooling.
Notes:
The strategy here, regardless of the tube leak, is to re-establish Instrument Air and ICW and ease complications of this transient by restoring RCP seal cooling and Letdown. Thus, answer [d] is correct.
[a] is a good idea during a tube leak but P-7B is powered from A3, making it unnecessary to energize A2.
[b] is also a good idea but procedural actions eliminate the need to re-establish condenser vacuum.
[c] incorrect, although the Aux Feedwater Pump is powered from A2, it is not the basis for performing this action.

Answer:
- d. Verify containment isolation valves are in position marked with black tape background.
Notes:
(d) is the correct response. A black tape background identifies the proper actuation position of ES components. (a) is incorrect because not all containment penetration valves will be closed, (b) is incorrect because there is no chart of valve positions in RT-10, (d) is incorrect because color coding of panel does not identify proper actuation position.

- a. Loss of Subcooling Margin
- b. ESAS
- c. HPI Cooldown
- d. Stay in Tube Rupture Answer:
- c. HPI Cooldown Notes:
"a" is incorrect, Loss of Subcooling Margin is entered only if a Loss of SCM occurred prior to entry into the Tube Rupture EOP and conditions do not indicate a Loss of SCM. "b" is incorrect, ESAS is not entered from Tube Rupture. The ESAS would have had to occur prior to the Tube Rupture for entry into ESAS. "c" is correct, neither OTSGs is suitable for heat removal since both are ruptured and have been isolated. BWST level <23 feet with these conditions is an entry condition for 1202.011, HPI Cooldown. "d" is incorrect since 1202.006, Tube Rupture, provides guidance to transition to HPI Cooldown for the given conditions.

A WCO is assigned to align "A" Decay Heat Removal during a shutdown.
It is estimated the job will take 40 minutes.
High RCS activity has created a whole body dose rate of 2.5 R/hr in this area.
The WCO has an accumulated exposure of 0.225 Rem for the year.
The WCO makes the statement that he can complete the job without exceeding exposure limits.
Do you agree or disagree with the WCO's statement?
- a. Agree, the WCO will NOT receive a dose sufficient to exceed the Administrative Dose Control Level.
- b. Disagree, the WCO will exceed the Administrative Dose Control Level after 38 minutes.
- c. Agree, the WCO is allowed to exceed the Administrative Dose Control Level by a maximum of 500 mR.
- d. Disagree, the WCO will exceed the Administrative Dose Control Level after 12 minutes.
Answer:
- a. Agree, the WCO will NOT receive a dose sufficient to exceed the Administrative Dose Control Level.
Notes:
The Administrative Dose Control Level is 2.0 Rem for the calendar year. With a dose rate of 2.5R/hr and stay time of 40 minutes, the dose will be 1.67 Rem. The WCO's total accumulated dose will be 1.895 Rem, therefore "A" is correct.
