RO_EXAM Q1-75 CPSES 2005 EXAM Question 1 Pressurizer safety valve 1-8010A inadvertently opened for a few seconds during a power excursion and did not completely reseat. The reactor tripped and SI automatically actuated. Ten minutes after the event started, the plant was stabilized with Tave at 564°F, ECCS maintaining RCS pressure at 1910 psig, and the Pressurizer vapor space temperature steady at 630°F.

The current status of the Main Feed Water components is:

A. Feed pumps automatically tripped because of low PZR pressure and FWI occurred because of the Safety Injection.

B. Feed pumps automatically tripped because of low PZR pressure and FWI occurred because of the reactor trip coincident with low Tave.

C. Feed pumps automatically tripped because of the reactor trip coincident with low Tave and FWI occurred because of low PZR pressure.

D. Feed pumps automatically tripped because of the reactor trip coincident with low Tave and FWI occurred because of the reactor trip coincident with low Tave.

Answer A is the correct answer, Feed pumps automatically tripped because of low PZR pressure and FWI occurred because of the Safety Injection.

Feed pumps do not automatically trip on reactor trip coincident with low Tave (564°F),

making C and D incorrect. B is incorrect because the FWI could not have occurred with a reactor trip coincident with Low Tave because Tave did not immediately reach the low Tave setpoint of 564°F (ten minutes after the event started) prior to the SI occurring.

RO_EXAM Q1-75 CPSES 2005 EXAM Question 3 Unit 1 is currently in procedure EOS-0.2A, Natural Circulation Cooldown, step 13. The US expresses a need to cooldown and depressurize at a faster rate than the rate being maintained. He announces a transition to a different procedure to increase the cooldown and depressurization rate. What major factor could require a more rapid cooldown and depressurization than EOS-0.2A allows?

A. Letdown must be removed from service.

B. Decreasing sub-cooling margin.

C. RVLIS is unavailable.

D. Limited condensate storage.

Answer:

D is correct, Limited condensate storage.

A is incorrect because PORVs can be used for depressurization at same (or greater) cooldown rate than that of aux spray. B is incorrect because decreasing sub-cooling margin does not warrant a higher cooldown and depressurization rate. C is incorrect because the availability of RVLIS only determines which procedure (EOS-0.3A or EOS-0.4A) is used for the increased cooldown. This question is direct from an EOP note.

C. letdown line between containment isolation valve 1/1-8152 and the Letdown HX.

D. charging line between containment isolation valve 1/1-8106 and 1/1-HCV-182.

Answer:

B is correct, charging line between containment isolation valve 1/1-8105 and the Regen HX.

The alarms imply a charging leak since PZR level is dropping (hence A and C are incorrect) and because the containment sump pump has started it must be inside containment, making D incorrect.

RO_EXAM Q1-75 CPSES 2005 EXAM Question 5 Given the following:

  • Unit 1 was tripped from 100% power due to a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) three hours ago.
  • RHR cold leg recirculation was initiated.
  • A loss of off-site power (LOOP) has also occurred.
  • Containment pressure is 17 psig.
  • Core Exit Thermocouples indicate 300 degrees F.
  • RCS pressure is 150 psig.

While establishing hot leg recirculation, no RHR flow is indicated on FI-988 for hot leg injection to loops 2 and 3 because:

A. Hot Leg Injection valve 8840 failed closed on loss of power from EDG #1.

B. Hot Leg Injection valve 8840 power switch failed to energize the valve.

C. Hot Leg injection valve 8802A failed open on loss of power from EDG#1.

D. Hot Leg injection valve 8802A power switch failed to energize the valve.

Answer:

B is correct, Hot Leg injection valve 8840 power switch failed to energize the valve.

Valve 8840 must be manually opened via two switches in order to transfer to Hot leg Injection and is powered from 1EB2-1 (EDG#2).

A is incorrect because 8840 is powered from EDG#2 while C and D are incorrect because valve 8802A is the SI Hot Leg discharge valve, not RHR discharge to hot legs.

RO_EXAM Q1-75 CPSES 2005 EXAM Question 6 CCW into containment is isolated with a Phase B isolation signal because:

A. CCW is at higher pressure than the Phase B set point, and any CCW system leakage prior to phase B isolation would be into containment.

B. CCW is at a lower pressure than the Phase B set point, and any CCW system leakage prior to phase B isolation would be into containment.

C. CCW is at higher pressure than the Phase B set point, and relief valves in the system are challenged less with the non-safeguards loop isolated.

D. CCW is at a lower pressure than the Phase B set point, and relief valves in the system are challenged less with the non-safeguards loop isolated.

Answer:

A is correct, CCW is at higher pressure than the Phase B set point, and any CCW system leakage prior to phase B isolation would be into containment.

B and D are incorrect because each has CCW lower than Phase B set point. C is incorrect because relief valves in the system are challenged more with the non-safeguards loop isolated. Specifically, CCW pumps are alternated during Phase B isolation by establishing flow through the CS HX and RHR HX specifically to prevent component CCW relief valves from lifting due to high discharge pressure.

RO_EXAM Q1-75 CPSES 2005 EXAM Question 7 Given the following conditions on Unit 1:

- 70% Reactor Power.

- Pressurizer Pressure is at 2235 psig.

- All systems and controls are in automatic.

- 1B Main Feed Pump trips but an Auto runback does not occur.

- Simultaneously with the feed pump trip the OUTPUT of the PZR Master Pressure Controller fails AS IS (50% output).

- The Unit 1 BOP operator manually initiates a turbine runback.

What is the INITIAL response of the Pressurizer Pressure Control System components during this event?

A. BACKUP Heaters turn ON to heat incoming surge volume.

B. BACKUP Heaters turn OFF due to the pressure increase.

C. BOTH PZR Spray valves THROTTLE OPEN to reduce pressure to normal.

D. BOTH PZR PORVs OPEN to maintain pressure below the High reactor trip setpoint.

Answer:

A is correct, BACKUP Heaters turn ON to heat incoming surge volume.

With 50% output from the Master Controller, no PORVs or spray valves will open (making C and D incorrect). Back-up heaters would not turn off based on the pressure increase because of controller failure, hence B is incorrect. However, the insurge of water coupled with a failure to runback initially will cause enough of a level transient for the insurge to reach the Pressurizer Level control system deviation of 5%

above program level and consequently energize the Backup heaters.

RO_EXAM Q1-75 CPSES 2005 EXAM Question 8 Unit 1 is at 100% power when a turbine trip occurs with no Reactor trip. The operators enter FRS-0.1, Response to Nuclear Power Generation/ATWT. What is the reason for the initiation of emergency boration, and if the normal charging path cannot be established, what is the first alternative that should be initiated?

A. Restore adequate shutdown margin, shift charging pump discharge to injection flow path using valves 1/1-8801A and 1/1-8801B.

B. Ensure subcriticality; shift charging pump discharge to injection flow path using valves 1/1-8801A and 1/1-8801B.

C. Restore adequate shutdown margin; manually initiate Safety Injection.

D. Ensure subcriticality; manually initiate Safety Injection.

Answer:

B is correct, Ensure subcriticality; shift charging pump discharge to injection flow path using valves 1/1-8801A and 1/1-8801B.

A and C are incorrect because the CSF is subcriticality, the EOP bases document specifies the two conditions for subcriticality, and hence the exit conditions for this EOP are for subcriticality. Adequate Shutdown margin is desired, but is not the reason for the initiating emergency boration. D is incorrect because Safety Injection is a last effort to reach subcriticality that would cause feed isolation, which is something not desired unless all else had failed for boration.

RO_EXAM Q1-75 CPSES 2005 EXAM Question 9 Unit 2 has experienced a SGTR and has entered EOP-3.0B. In step 3 of the procedure, it has the operators isolate the SG that has the ruptured tube(s). Isolating the ruptured Steam Generator:

A. Establishes a DP between the ruptured and non-ruptured steam generators in order to minimize the primary to secondary leak and cool the RCS.

B. Prevents feeding the ruptured SG in all cases and therefore minimizes the radioactivity released to the general public.

C. Establishes a DP between the RCS and ruptured steam generators in order to minimize the primary to secondary leak and cool the RCS.

D. Conserves ruptured SG inventory for later use during cool down, which aids in U-tube condensation of steam and further minimize releases to the public.

Answer:

A is correct, Establishes a DP between the ruptured and non-ruptured steam generators in order to minimize the primary to secondary leak and cool the RCS.

B is incorrect because in some cases (ie dryout) feeding the ruptured SG may be required (ie if rupture is high on the tube) in order to keep the rupture submerged. C is incorrect because the DP between the RCS and the ruptured SG should be minimized to stop the leak. D is incorrect because conserving inventory does not aid in U-tube condensation, it hinders it, which does not minimize release to the public.

B. Full control and indications available in the control room, no recovery actions required.

C. Only Indications are lost, recovered by resetting the SI and depressing RESET on AFW FLO CTRL hand switch at the RSP.

D. Both control and indications are lost, recovered by resetting the SI.

Answer:

B is correct Full control and indications available in the control room, no recovery actions required.

The indications for turbine speed and T&TV status in the Control Room will be de-energized until the SI signal is reset and power is restored to the local TDAFW pump control panel. Power can be restored to the panel by depressing the OPEN pushbutton (HS-2452H) on the AFWPT T&T VLV control switch on CB-09.

A is incorrect because full control and indication remain for the flow control valves. C is incorrect because indications are not lost and reset is not done at the RSP but CB-09 while D is incorrect because neither is lost and resetting SI is not all that is required to regain control of other components.

RO_EXAM Q1-75 CPSES 2005 EXAM Question 22 Unit 2 is currently in FRS-0.2B for Response to Loss of Core Shutdown with containment pressure 6 psig and stable. The two intermediate Range (IR) detectors, N-35 and N-36, have not moved in several minutes and you think that they may be stuck on their current values of 6E-10 amps and 5E-10 amps, respectively.

You should:

A. Energize source range detectors for core power status in order to determine the status of the Sub-Criticality CSF.

B. Energize source range detectors in order to determine if boration is required.

C. Check that both Neutron Flux Wide Range instruments are decreasing in order to determine if boration is required.

D. Check that both Neutron Flux Wide Range startup rate instruments are zero or negative in order to determine if boration is required.

Answer:

C is correct, Check that both Neutron Flux Wide Range instruments are decreasing in order to determine if boration is required.

With containment pressure above 5psig, none of the excore instruments are considered valid, thus A and B are incorrect. The reason for checking Neutron Flux Instruments decreasing is because if they are not decreasing then boration is required. The wide range or Neutron Flux Source range instruments (as named by procedure) do not have a startup rate indication; hence D is incorrect.

RO_EXAM Q1-75 CPSES 2005 EXAM Question 41 During a particular accident scenario, the loss of containment cooling creates a high pressure condition such that the containment environment has degraded to adverse conditions. What is the impact on the RCS Pressure indications in this situation?

A. RCS wide range pressure (PI-405) will indicate greater than actual pressure; RCS narrow range pressure indication (PI-403A) will indicate lower than actual pressure.

B. Both RCS wide and narrow range indications (PI-405 and PI-403A) will read lower than actual.

C. RCS wide range pressure (PI-405) will indicate lower than actual pressure; RCS narrow range pressure indication (PI-403A) will indicate higher than actual pressure.

D. Both RCS wide and narrow range indications (PI-405 and PI-403A) will read higher than actual.

Answer:

B is correct, Both RCS wide and narrow range indications (PI-405 and PI-403A) will read lower than actual.

For small break LOCA, Phase A isolation will potentially create this scenario because of loss of cooling water to the CCS. Higher Pressures in containment could provide a 45psig difference on a 2000psig RCS pressure instrument if containment pressure goes from 15psig to 60psig during accident conditions. PI-403A is a narrow range indicator used for LTOP conditions (range 0-700psig) and uses the same type and range of pressure transmitter as PI-405, both of which go down as pressure in Containment goes up.

RO_EXAM Q1-75 CPSES 2005 EXAM Question 44 Given the following conditions at Unit 1:

- 33% Reactor power.

- Main Feed PumpB is operating.

- Steam Generator Water Level Controls are in AUTOMATIC.

Which ONE of the following failures will cause RCS Tave to INITIALLY INCREASE?

A. Selected Steam Pressure Channel PT-514 fails HIGH.

B. Selected Level Channel LT-519 fails LOW C. Feed Reg Bypass Valve, LV-2162 fails OPEN.

D. Feed Header Pressure Transmitter PT-508 fails HIGH Answer:

D is correct, Feed Header Pressure Transmitter PT-508 fails HIGH. This failure causes a decrease in feed pump speed for both feed pumps and hence an increase in Tave.

A is incorrect because this causes feed pump speed to increase initially, which would decrease Tave. B is incorrect because selected level failing low causes the feed water control valve to open, which would decrease Tave initially; similar discussion for C being incorrect.

RO_EXAM Q1-75 CPSES 2005 EXAM Question 46 Operators are in procedure FRH-0.1A "Response to Loss of Secondary Heat Sink" following a reactor trip and safety injection with AFW failing to initiate. In FRH-0.1A, the procedure directs the operator to stop all RCPs at Step 6 of the procedure. Which one of the following is the reason why the RCPs are stopped so early in the procedure?

A. To minimize the potential for RCP damage due to thermal shock from cold high pressure SI flow.

B. To allow the development of natural circulation.

C. To minimize the potential for RCP damage due to loss of RCS pressure.

D. To allow the operator more time to take corrective action before feed and bleed is required.

Answer:

D is correct, To allow the operator more time to take corrective action before feed and bleed is required. Operation of RCPs will shorten the time before the initiation of feed and bleed is required.

C is incorrect because RCP could be damaged if operated at reduced RCS pressure but in this procedure pressure remains at or above the PORV setpoint. B is incorrect because stopping RCPs would eventually result in establishing natural circulation if there were a heat sink. Which is not the case in this procedure. A is incorrect because when SI is initiated it shifts the source of water for seal injection from the VCT to the RWST.

The actual temperature difference is minimal and should not affect the RCP's.

The white lights above both hand switches for the pumps are out while the green lights are on. The status of the Containment sump system is:

A. a motor overload condition has occurred on the pumps, preventing an auto-start on high level.

B. there is no power available to either pump, preventing an auto-start on HI or HI-HI level.

C. the drain isolation valves (1-5157/5158) are closed, preventing operation of either pump.

D. the sump pump timer value is set too low, preventing operation of either pump.

Answer:

C is correct, the drain isolation valves (1-5157/5158) are closed, preventing operation of either pump.

A is incorrect because a motor overload would be indicated with the white lights above the pump hand switches being lit. B is incorrect because loss of power to both pumps would indicate a loss of both safety buses and the plant could not be in Mode 1 in this situation. D is incorrect because if the timer were set too low the pump would start sooner vice never starting with too large a value.

SRO ONLY QUESTIONS Q75-100 CPSES 2005 EXAM Question 78 Unit 1 had received an automatic reactor trip signal and an SI actuation occurred from 100% power but the reactor trip breakers did not open. Containment Pressure was 7 psig when EOP-0.0A,Reactor Trip or Safety Injection, was entered. Nuclear Instrument indications are as shown below. What Procedure(s) should the crew be utilizing at this point?

NI-41 power is 8% NI-35 power is 4E-5 cps NI-42 power is 7% NI-35 SUR is -0.1 NI-43 power is 10% NI-36 power is 4E-5 cps NI-44 power is 9% NI-36 SUR is -0.1 50A (wide range) power is 7%

50A (wide range) SUR is -0.01 50B (wide range) power is 6%

50B (wide range) SUR is -0.03 A. Using FRS-0.1A, Response to Nuclear Power Generation / ATWT while concurrently finishing the first 8 steps of EOP-0.0A, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection.

B. Using FRS-0.1A, Response to Nuclear Power Generation / ATWT while concurrently finishing the first 4 steps of EOP-0.0A, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection.

C. Exiting FRS-0.1A,Response to Nuclear Power Generation / ATWT and transitioning back to EOP-0.0A,Reactor Trip or Safety Injection.

D. Exiting FRS-0.1A,Response to Nuclear Power Generation / ATWT and transitioning to EOP-1.0A,Loss of Reactor or Secondary Coolant.

Answer:

A is correct, Using FRS-0.1A, Response to Nuclear Power Generation / ATWT while concurrently finishing the first 8 steps of EOP-0.0A, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection.

Because the containment pressure has reached 7psig, the excore NIs are no longer valid and the wide range should be used. Since the wide range power is above 5%, the ATWT is still in progress and and so C and D are incorrect. B is incorrect because when an SI has occurred, the first 8 steps are required to be completed in parallel with the FRS-0.1A IAW notes, bases, and ODA-407.

C. Enter ECA-1.1, Loss of Emergency Coolant Recirculation and direct them to control AFW flow to all intact Steam Generators between 5-50% narrow range.

D. Enter ECA-1.1, Loss of Emergency Coolant Recirculation and direct them to refill the RWST above the level where containment spray pumps can be used.

Answer:

B is correct, Enter FRZ-0.1, Response to High Containment Pressure and direct them to run 2 containment spray pumps until Containment Pressure is < 18psig, then stop both pumps.

A is incorrect because 4 pumps are not used when RWST level is >12% and containment pressure is <50psig (also want to conserve RWST level in this situation).

C is incorrect because with adverse containment, SG level would be controlled between 26-50%. D is incorrect because RWST level would have to be below 12%

before any containment spray pumps could be used.

During the startup it started increasing from its normal value up to 190F, when the computer point alarm (T0413A) reached its high alarm set point when power was leveled at 50%. What procedure would be used to mitigate this malfunction and what would be the impact on the plant if the temperature point (T0413A) exceeded the RCP operating limit value of 195F?

A. Enter ABN-101 for RCP Trip/Malfunction, for a violation of RCP operating limits; this would require a trip of the RCP and the reactor, with Mode 3 required within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />.

SRO ONLY QUESTIONS Q75-100 CPSES 2005 EXAM Question 88 Unit one is at 86% power due to one Main steam safety valve (MSSV) failing its IST program. The Control Room Supervisor reviews the Technical Specification section 3.7.1 for the MSSV's and notes that there are two required action steps that both must be performed for the MSSV issue under current plant conditions:

1) reduce thermal power and
2) reduce power range neutron flux-high reactor trip setpoint.

The basis for both actions is:

A. When MTC is positive, there is insufficient remaining steam flow capacity to prevent overpressurizing the steam system during an uncontrolled bank RCCA withdrawal.

B. When MTC is negative, there is insufficient remaining steam flow capacity to prevent overpressurizing the steam system during a turbine trip.

C. When MTC is positive, there is insufficient heat removal capacity to protect the RCS pressure boundary from an RCS heating event.

D. When MTC is negative, there is insufficient heat removal capacity to cool the core during a Small Break LOCA.

Answer:

A is correct, When MTC is positive, there is insufficient remaining steam flow capacity to prevent overpressurizing the steam system during an uncontrolled bank RCCA withdrawal.

B is incorrect because when MTC is negative, there is sufficient capacity to prevent overpressurizing the steam system and hence why you would be in LCOAR A1, not this one, which is B1. C is incorrect because it is not the heat removal capacity that is the concern when MTC is positive, but the rod withdrawal accident. D is incorrect because, again, when MTC is negative, then condition A1 would apply and both criteria would not be needed.

A. Perform calorimetric using feedwater venturis with RTP <98.6%, then restore power to 100% RTP after calorimetric surveillance is completed.

B. Restore LEFM to service within 24 hrs or reduce power in accordance with TS 3.3.1.2.

C. Perform calorimetric using feedwater venturis with RTP <98.6%, then maintain power at 98.6% RTP after calorimetric surveillance is completed.

D. Perform calorimetric using feedwater venturis with RTP at 100%, and adjust Power as required after the calorimetric is completed.

Answer:

C is correct, Perform calorimetric using feedwater venturis with RTP <98.6%, then maintain power at 98.6% RTP after calorimetric surveillance is completed.

Only unit 2 has the LEFM, and only it is required to link the TRM SR 13.3.34 with the TS SR 3.3.1.2 in order to complete the calorimetric.

D. Restore pressure within 5 minutes and stay in Mode 3.

Answer:

D is correct, Restore pressure within 5 minutes and stay in Mode 3.

A and C are incorrect because no mode change is allowed during this occurrence because lower mode implies lower temperature, which exacerbates the problem of high pressure and low temperature ductility effects on the vessel. B is incorrect because of the time requirement.

SRO ONLY QUESTIONS Q75-100 CPSES 2005 EXAM Question 98 The basis for maintaining Containment Control (Integrity) during power operations is to limit post-accident releases to the 10CFR100 limits. Exclusion Areas (EA) and Low Population Zones (LPZ) define these limits. Select the reference limits for whole body dose rates specified in 10CFR100 for these two areas below.

A. EA is 25 rem in first 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />, LPZ is 30 rem for event duration.

B. EA is 25 rem for event duration, LPZ is 30 rem for event duration.

C. EA is 25 rem for event duration, LPZ is 25 rem for event duration.

D. EA is 25 rem in first 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />, LPZ is 25 rem for event duration.

Answer:

D is correct, EA is 25 rem in first 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />, LPZ is 25 rem for event duration.

Answers A and B are incorrect because the value for the LPZ is 25 rem (same as the maximum emergency allowed dose of 25 rem). Answer C is incorrect because the limit for a person in the EA during the first two hours of the event is 25 rem, not the duration of the event.
