New Exam Item LLOT0370.08 203000 K4.03 I Importance: 3.Z3.3 P&l M-51 Basis or Justification Correct Answer - HV-51-2F007A is normally open when RPV pressure is greater than 75 psig, with its handswitch in AUTO. The valve will only close if RHR flow is greater than 1300 gpm. The LOCA signal will start the "2A RHR pump, but no other valves will open to allow flow to exceed 1300 gpm at the flow switch controlling HV-51 -2F007A, therefore, the valve will remain open to provide minimum flow protection for the pump. HV-51-2F048A will receive an open signal for three minutes from the LOCA signal, and will not automatically close at the end of that three minutes.

Therefore, with no operator action, both valves will be open at the end of five minutes.

Basis or Justification Incorrect - RPV level will not rise, as core void collapse will result in water from the downcomer region going into the core region to make up for the reduction in volume of the steam.

Incorrect - RPV level will not rise, as core void collapse will result in water from the downcomer region going into the core region to make up for the reduction in volume of the steam. Scram Profile will activate since both RPS channels de-energized.

Correct Answer - RPV level lowers due to void collapse and Scram Profile activation, which will reduce feedwater flow after the first 5 seconds after both RPS channels de-energize.

Incorrect - Scram Profile will activate since both RPS channels de-energized, and the level reduction results from core voids collapsing, requiring water from the downcomer to replace the lost volume of the steam voids in the core.

Incorrect - Drywell spray does not contribute to suppression pool wall loading. This concern is a function of RPV pressure vs. suppression pool level, as determined by the SRV Tailpipe Level Limit Curve, SP/L-1.

Correct Answer - Per T-I 02 Bases, step SP/L-22, with suppression pool level not able to be maintained below 38.7 ft. (elevation of the bottom of the internal suppression pool-to-drywell vacuum breakers less vacuum breaker opening pressure in feet of water), operation of the drywell sprays must be terminated because post drywell vacuum relief cannot be assured.

Incorrect - Liner damage is likely to occur only if drywell spray is initiated with conditions on the unsafe side of the Drywell Spray Initiation Limit curve. The given conditions stated in the question are that conditions are on the safe side of this curve.

Since both RPS systems (A and B) have not de-energized, the backup scram valves will not function. With SRVs lifting at their pressure relief setpoint (1 170 minimum), RPV pressure exceeded 1149, and RRCS ARI will actuate. The UFSAR states that ARI is designed to "allow insertion of all control rods to begin within 15 seconds."

Incorrect - SRVs are the components designed to prevent the RPV from exceeding design pressure.

Incorrect - Both RPS systems have not de-energized ("A still energized), therefore, backup scram valves will not open.

Basis or Justification Incorrect - Standby Gas Treatment System does not draw directly on the Outboard MSlV room, RERS would align to draw on the room and discharge to Standby Gas.

See "d" for further explanation.

Incorrect - This is the normal exhaust path for the Outboard MSlV room, however, due to the pressure rise in the room, the Steam Flooding Dampers will isolate to prevent the spread of steam throughout Secondary Containment.

Correct Anser - A Main Steam Line break in the Outboard MSlV room will cause pressure in the room to rise which will cause the Steam Flooding dampers to isolate.

Pressure will continue to rise until the Blowout Panels actuate Incorrect - Although this would be the exhaust path if there were a Reactor Enclosure Isolation signal, an isolation signal does not exist, therefore Standby Gas and RERS will not be running.

Basis or Justification Incorrect - See justification for b.

Correct Answer - Using the given suppression pool airspace temperature and suppression pool pressure, the nitrogen mass to be used for the suppression pool is 8400 Ibs (from Attachment I); using Attachment 2, must use the next LOWER curve (8250) on OT-101 Attachment 2. 0.8 psig and 135 deg. F is above the 8250 Ibs curve. Pressure rising to greater than 0.9 psig will result in conditions on the safe side of the curve, and venting is now permitted.

Incorrect - See justification for b.

Incorrect - Venting will not be permitted when temperature is above 137 deg. F.

Temperature must be lower, or Drywell pressure higher for venting to be permitted.

d.

Basis or Justification Correct Answer - Opening the ADS valves causes a rapid reduction in pressure, causing rapid void production, and causing water to be displaced into the downcomer, causing indicated level to rise.

Incorrect - While level will rise, the pressure change in the reactor will be felt equally on both the variable and reference legs of the instruments, and therefore will not result directly in a change in indicated RPV level.

Incorrect - RPV level will not initially lower Incorrect - RPV level will not initially lower, and the pressure change in the reactor will be felt equally on both the variable and reference legs of the instruments, and therefore will not result directly in a change in indicated RPV level.

Limerick G e n e rating Stat ion 2005 NRC Initial Licensing Examination Basis or Justification Incorrect - While OT-I02 does direct reducing pressure to below 1053 psig, since the reactor is scrammed, OT-102 is no longer appropriate. Also, using BPVs with RPV level above the level of the main steam lines will jeopardize integrity of the BPV lines to the condenser.

Incorrect -While OT-I02 does direct reducing pressure to below 1053 psig, since the Answer Key and Question Data

d.

reduce/maintain RPV pressure below 700 psig.

Incorrect - This is incorrect, because if By C, or J SRV is available, they are to be used for the sustained opening for depressurization to below 700 psig because they have straight tailpipe runs through the suppression pool airspace and are therefore less likely to be broken in that area.

Correct Answer - S28.5.D requires making announcements prohibiting hot work in the turbine enclosure. S74.0.A requires making announcements prohibiting access to the area around the TIP rooms. SE-24, while appropriate for restricting access during abnormal conditions, is not used during normal evolutions. It is plausible as a distractor since an operator may think that no access is permitted in the Turbine enclosure during generator purge with hydrogen, and because 253' elevation has access restricted during TIP operation.

Incorrect - See justification for c.

Correct Answer - The blue "SCRAM" lights being lit on the full core display indicate the Scram Valves are open, which requires selection from the left side of RC/Q-13, making T-217 and T-218 acceptable choices. SLC should be injected per step RC/Q-16. With all IRMs at range 6 or SRMs >50,000, shutdown criteria (Note # I 6) is not met per RWQ-4 and continuing at step RC/Q-I2 only is not appropriate and does not preclude the injection of SBLC.

Incorrect - See justification for c.

Limerick Generatina Station 2005 NRC Initial Licensina Examination Question: 97 97 of I00 A large break LOCA has occurred on Unit 2 with the following conditions:

Reactor shutdown, all rods fully inserted RPV pressure has lowered to 40 psig Drywell pressure is 29 psig and rising slowly Drywell temperature is 315 deg. F and rising slowly Suppression Pool pressure 32 psig and rising slowly Suppression Pool temperature 160°F and rising slowly Suppression Pool level is 26 feet and steady All RPV level indicators are reading off-scale high WHICH ONE of the following describes the required utilization of "2A" and "2B" RHR loops and the basis for this decision?

Utilization of "2A and "2B" RHR Basis for Decision

a.

Inject into the RPV with both loops of RHR per T-I16 Adequate Core Cooling is not assured

b.

Place both loops of RHR in T-I02 and S51.8.A L

Suppression Pool Cooling per Primary Containment is threatened by exceeding heat capacity temperature limit of the Suppression Pool

c.

Spray the Drywell with one loop of RHR and spray the Suppression Pool with the other loop of RHR per T-102 and T-225 Primary Containment is threatened by direct pressurization of the Suppression Pool

d.

Inject into the RPV with one loop of RHR per T-I16 and spray the Drywell with the other loop of RHR per T-I02 and T-225 Adequate Core Cooling is not assured AND Primary Containment is threatened by direct pressurization of the Suppression Pool

d.

Basis or Justification Correct Answer - Conditions given are on the unsafe side of the Reference Leg Saturation Limit Curve (DW/T-I) in T-I 02. This, together with all RPV level indicators rising to offscale high, will require the operators to declare RPV level unknown, and enter T-I 16. The prioritization for RHR pumps with level unknown (adequate core cooling is NOT assured) is to establish adequate core cooling first. For this reason, both T-I 02 steps PUP-5 and PUP-9 for spraying the suppression pool and drywell provide the direction to initiate sprays "unless required for core cooling". T-I 02 step SP/T-5 states "IF NOT required for core cooling, THEN operate 2 loops of Supp Pool Cooling". Therefore, since core cooling is not assured, suppression pool and drywell sprays and suppression pool cooling are not permitted.
