alarm.

-

1-8-57-92, VIT BATT BD II AMPS, reading -75 amps above zero.

-

Operating crew ensures the plant is stable and maintaining 100% power.

Which ONE of the following indicates the current status of the power supplies to

125V Vital Battery Board II?

A. 125VVital Battery Charger IB is operating NORMALLY; 125Vvital Battery II

operating NORMALLY.

25V Vital Battery Charger 11 is FAILED; 125V vital Battery I! operating

D. 125V Vital Battery Charger !I is FAILED; 125V vital Battery II FAILED.

The correct answer is B.

Correct - amps on this indicator normally indicate slightly less than zero as

the charger is inservice providing power to the battery board while charging

the battery. With the alarm in and indicator indicating above zero the

examinee should conclude that the charger is failed and the battery is

supplying power to the battery board.

B. Incorrect - amps on this indicator normally indicate slightly less than zero as

the charger is inservice providing power to the battery board while charging

the battery. With the alarm in and indicator indicating above zero the

examinee should conclude that the charger is failed and the battery is

supplying power to the battery board.

6. Incorrect - amps on this indicator normally indicate slightly less than zero as

the charger is inservice providing power to the battery board while charging

the battery. With the alarm in and indicator indicating above zero the

examinee should conclude that the charger is failed and the battery is

supplying power to the battery board. If the fuse had blown the amps would

be reading -zero.

B. Incorrect - amps on this indicator normally indicate slightly iess than zero as

the charger is inservice providing power to the battery board while charging

the battery. With the alarm in and indicator indicating above zero the

examinee should conclude that the charger is failed and the battery is

supplying power to the battery board. With both components failed amps

indicator would read zero and the unit would trip due to secondary transients.

Which ONE of the following describes the effect of this malfunction, and the

correct operator actions required.

A!' RHR Heat Exchanger Flow Control Valves FCV-74-16 & 28 will fail OPEN

C&SS air compressor,

B. RHR Heat Exchanger Flow Control Valves FCV-74-16 & 28 will fail CLOSED

The correct answer is A

A. Correct

~ Flow control valves fail open on loss of nan-essential air. AWI

directs operators to manually load and unload compressors since loss of

sequencer power has unloaded all remaining C&SS compressors.

B. Incorrect - Student may be distracted by plant conditions, thinking that a

mode change would occur if a slight heat-up was the result of valves failing

closed.

C. Incorrect - Solenoid valves in the open position would keep the compressors

D. Incorrect - Student may be distracted by plant conditions, thinking that a

The correct answer is A

A. Correct - letdown will isolate due to the instrument channel failing low,

therefore charging will be isolated in order to minimize thermal transients on

the regenerative heat exchanger. AOI-20, "Malfunction of Pressurizer Level

Control System" provides response to this failure.

A. Incorrect, 1-FCV-62-93 will open but PZR level will drop vs. rise. Examinees

may think that if immediate actions are taken to isolate letdown that PZR

level will rise. The immediate start of1 B-B CCP is not allowed by 801-20.

B. Correct, 1-FCV-62-93 will open and PZR level will drop. After the operator
