Unit 2 plant conditions are as follows:
- 100% reactor power
- RHR is aligned normally An inadvertent Division 1 LOCA signal is generated by an instrument line failure. No actions are taken by MCR Operators.
WHICH ONE of the following describes the position of the "2A" RHR pump "MINIMUM FLOW VALVE", HV-51-2F007A and "HEAT EXCHANGER BYPASS VALVE", HV-51-2F048A five (5) minutes later?

- a. Open . Open
- b. Open Closed
- c. Closed Open
- d. Closed Closed i,
Limerick Generating Station 2005 NRC Initial Licensing Examination Question # 04 Choice Basis or Justification
- a. 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.

Question: 29 29 of 100 Unit 1 plant conditions are as follows:
- A LOCA has occurred
- RPV pressure is 60 psig and lowering slowly
- RPV level is -145 inches and steady
- Drywell temperature and pressure are on the safe side of T-I 02 Curve PC/P-2, Drywell Spray Initiation Limit
- Suppression pool level is 38.9 ft. and rising slowly.
WHICH ONE of the following describes the reason why drywell spray is not permitted in this condition?
- a. Adequate core cooling is not assured
- b. Suppression pool wall loading limits may be exceeded C. Suppression pool to drywell vacuum relief valves may not function
- d. Excessive negative drywell pressure may damage the drywell liner
Limerick Generating Station 2005 NRC Initial Licensing Examination (Choice Basis or Justification Incorrect - Adequate core cooling is assured by core submergence above top of active fuel (>-161).
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.

- All main turbine bypass valves open following the turbine trip
- RPV pressure rises until several SRVs open at the high pressure relief setpoint
- A I , A2,A3, and A4 "SCRAM SYSTEM LOGIC" lights on 20C603 are lit WHICH ONE of the following describes the plant response and the reason for this response?
Plant Response Reason
- a. ARI valves will open To initiate rod insertion
- c. Backup Scram valves will open To initiate rod insertion
Limerick Generating Station 2005 NRC Initial Licensing Examination I Question # 46 Choice Basis or Justification
- a. Correct Answer - All four of the "A" SCRAM SYSTEM LOGIC lights being lit indicate that RPS has not caused a scram on the turbine trip. 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 (1170 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."
C. Incorrect - Both RPS systems have not de-energized ("A" still energized), therefore, backup scram valves will not open.
- d. Incorrect - Both RPS systems have not de-energized ("A" still energized), therefore, backup scram valves will not open. SRVs are the components designed to prevent the RPV from exceeding design pressure.

- d. re Recirculation System to Standby Gas Treatment System to i/
Limerick Generating Station 2005 NRC Initial Licensing Examination 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 Answer - A Main Steam Line break in the Outboard MSIV 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.

Limerick Generating Station 2005 NRC Initial Licensing Examination Question# 78 Choice Basis or Justification
- a. Incorrect. "2B" RHR Pump is powered from D22 through the I 0 1 Safeguard Bus and is not affected by a loss of the 20 Station Aux Bus. Loss of D12 will cause a trip of OB^^ RHRSW Pump.
- b. Incorrect. While it is true that "2B" RHR will remain in service without heat exchanger cooling, starting "OA" RHRSW Pump will not support "2B" Shutdown Cooling since it can only be aligned to the "2A" RHR Heat Exchanger.
C. Incorrect. See "a".
- d. Correct Answer - A loss of 20 Station Aux Bus will cause a loss of 201 Safeguard Bus and a loss of D12 until Dead Bus Transfer to the 101 Safeguard Bus occurs.
This will trip the "OB" RHRSW Pump. "2B" Shutdown Cooling will remain in service without heat exchanger cooling. "OD" RHRSW can be aligned for cooling "2B" RHR Heat Exchanger.

- " 1 A RFP has tripped
- "1 B" and "1C" RFPs failed to trip and were tripped manually by the RO
- The Reactor Mode switch has been placed in "SHUTDOWN"
- All other automatic plant functions have occurred as designed.
- No other operator actions have been taken Current plant conditions are as follows:
- All control rods are fully inserted
- RPV level is +I24 inches and lowering slowly
- RPV pressure is 1060 psig and steady
- All SRVs are operable WHICH ONE of the following describes the proper directions to give the RO/PRO for RPV pressure control?
- a. Immediately reduce RPV pressure below 1053 psig using the Jack u
to open Bypass Valves per OT-102, "Reactor High Pressure"
- b. Immediately reduce RPV pressure below 1053 psig using Pressure Set to open Bypass Valves per OT-102, "Reactor High Pressure"

- d. When RPV pressure reaches 1096 psig, then reduce pressure using "1K" SRV per OT-I I O , "Reactor High Level"
Limerick Generating Station 2005 NRC Initial Licensing Examination Question# 84 Choice Basis or Justification
- a. Incorrect - White 01-102 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 I I of the main steam lines will jeopardize integrity of the BPV lines to the condenser.
- b. Incorrect -While OT-102 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.
C. Correct Answer - With RPV level at +I24 inches, the Main Steam lines are covered, and will be full (MSIVs do not automatically close on high level, and therefore are still open). OT-I10 step 3.17 directs: IF Main Steam lines are flooded AND RPV pressure reaches 1096 psig, THEN perform the following: IF the B, C, OR J SRV is available, THEN manually cycle the 6, C, OR J SRV to reduce/maintain RPV pressure below 700 psig.
- d. Incorrect - This is incorrect, because if B, 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 likelv to be broken in that area.

Limerick Generating Station 2005 NRC Initial Licensing Examination L Question# 92 Choice Basis or Justification
- a. Incorrect - see justification for b.
- b. Correct Answer - S34.2.C is used to remove the breaker because it directs manipulation of the Maintenance Bypass switch, which prevents the running fan from tripping if the non-operating fan breaker is removed. Therefore, the operating fan will remain running. S34.2.C also directs using S93.0.B to remove the breaker. MA-AA-716-004-1000 is incorrect, since step 1.4 and 1.4.2 state that the T&RM shall not be used when an approved procedure, partial procedure, or TC could be used to cover the activity.
C. Incorrect - see justification for b.

- a. Incorrect - See c justification
- b. Incorrect - See cjustification C. -
Correct Answer During refueling operations the spent fuel pool is connected to the reactor cavity. The.Dryer / Separator Pit is also connected to the reactor cavity. A loss of both Seal #3 and Seal # will result in the lowering level in the fuel pool as well as the Dryer / Separator Pit. ON-120, Fuel Handling Problems, directs the entry into S53.O.A for lowering Fuel Pool Level. Direction is provided in S53.0.A to install the Fuel Pool Gat This action will isolate the Fuel Pool from the leaking seals in the Reactor Well. eplacing the stoplogs in the Dryer / Separator will have no effect on minimizing fuel pool level loss.

The following actions have been taken on Unit 2:
- A manual reactor scram was initiated from 100% power 10 minutes ago due to the trip of both Reactor Recirculation pumps
- RRCS was manually initiated 10 minutes ago
- Immediately after the RRCS initiation power dropped to 1.4% on all APRMs Current Unit 2 plant conditions are as follows:
- All blue "SCRAM" lights are lit on the full core display
- All APRMs currently indicate 1.4%
- All IRMs are currently on Range 6 and stable
- All SRM count rates are currently 55,000 cps
- Suppression pool temperature has just reached I10 deg. F WHICH ONE of the following describes the proper actions to be taken for Control Rod insertion and SLC injection per T-I 01, "RPV Control"?

- a. Perform T-214 and T-215 per steps Manually inject SLC per step RC/Q-I 6 b
RC/Q-5 and RC/Q-I 3
- b. Perform T-214 and T-215 per steps Do not inject SLC per step RC/Q-4 RC/Q-5 and RC/Q-I 3
- c. Perform T-217 and T-218 per step Manually inject SLC per step RC/Q-16 RC/Q-13
- d. Perform T-217 and T-218 per step Do not inject SLC per step RC/Q-4 RC/Q-13
Limerick Generating Station 2005 NRC Initial Licensing Examination Choice Basis or Justification
- a. Incorrect - See justification for c.
- b. Incorrect - See justification for c.
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-I 3, 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 #16) is not met per RC/Q-4 and continuing at step RCIQ-12 only is not appropriate and does not preclude the injection of SBLC.

- 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?

Suppression Pool Cooling per exceeding heat capacity temperature T-I 02 and S51.8.A limit of the Suppression Pool C. Spray the Drywell with one loop of Primary Containment is threatened by RHR and spray the Suppression direct pressurization of the Pool with the other loop of RHR per Suppression Pool T-I 02 and T-225
- d. Inject into the RPV with one loop of Adequate Core Cooling is not assured RHR per T-I 16 and spray the AND Primary Containment is Drywell with the other loop of RHR threatened by direct pressurization of per T-I02 and T-225 the Suppression Pool
Limerick Generating Station 2005 NRC Initial Licensing Examination L-Question# 97 Choice Basis or Justification a: Correct Answer - Conditions given are on the unsafe side of the Reference Leg Saturation Limit Curve (DWTT-1) in T-102. 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-102 steps PC/P-5 and PC/P-9 for spraying the suppression pool and drywell provide the direction to initiate sprays "unless required for core cooling". T-102 step SPTT-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.
