COLUMBIA RO WRITTEN EXAM RETAKE QUESTION # 72 EXAM KEY 05/05/2005 Page 72 of 75 EX05094 With Columbia operating in MODE 1, RHR-P-2B is running to lower suppression pool level. SW-P-1B is operating in support of the evolution. Due to a problem with the feedwater level control system, the CRS orders a reactor scram prior to the +13 automatic scram. When the Main Turbine trips, TR-S develops an overcurrent condition and a lockout is generated. SM-7 and SM-8 are re-energized from the Backup Transformer.
All systems operate as designed to this event.
Which of the following describes the response of the Service Water System to this event?
When power is restored, A. SW-P-1B immediately re-starts. SW-V-2B and SW-V-12B remain open.
B. after a 20 second time delay, and after SW-V-2B is fully closed, SW-P-1B re-starts. When SW-P-1B starts, SW-V-2B re-opens.
C. after a 20 second time delay, and after SW-V-2B and SW-V-12B are both fully closed, SW-P-1B re-starts.
D. SW-V-12B fully closes. When SW-V-12B is fully closed, SW-P-1B re-starts and SW-V-12B re-opens.

There is also a 20 second time delay. SW-V-12B strokes closed but stops mid-stroke when SW-P-1B starts and then goes full open. If SW-V-12B were to go full closed, SW-P-1B would trip.

Which of the following is correct for this condition?
A. It is acceptable to use SGT with inoperable heaters because they have no effect on the ability of the train used for the purge to perform its function.
B. The SGT train used for containment purge is inoperable due to the controller being placed in manual and no core alterations, operations with the potential for draining the reactor vessel, or movement of irradiated fuel is allowed.
C. The SGT train used for containment purge is inoperable due to the potential for rapid over pressurization prior to closure of the containment isolation valves following a LOCA.
D. At this power level, it is correct to use both trains of SGT for the containment purge because there is no postulated accident that can damage the Standby Gas Treatment System.
