295004 AK3.03 Importance Rating 3.1 3.5 295004 Partial or Complete Loss of D.C. Power - AK3. Knowledge of the reasons for the following responses as they apply to PARTIAL OR COMPLETE LOSS OF D.C. POWER: (CFR:

41.5 / 45.6) AK3.03 Reactor SCRAM: Plant-Specific Plant startup is in progress with reactor power at 39%.

All systems are in a normal lineup per procedures with the following exception:

Proposed Question:

  1. 3 Bus 10300 loads remain supplied from off-site power due to mechanical binding in breaker NSS TO BUS 10300 BKR 10302.

Subsequently, a loss of DC Power System A occurs with a resulting reactor scram.

What is the reason for the reactor scram?

A.

Main turbine trip from high RPV water level, due to loss of DC power to the selected Rx Wtr Lvl column.

B.

Inboard MSlV closure due to loss of DC power to the solenoids.

C.

Main turbine trip due to loss of DC power to EHC trip logic.

D.

Low RPV water level due to loss of DC power to Feedwater and Steam flow instruments.

Proposed Answer:

C Explanation (Optional):

A.

not RX WTR LVL 06LI-94B, which is the normal selected column.

B.

Incorrect - Loss of DC power system A affects Rx Wtr Lvl 06LI-94A & C, Incorrect -Rx would have scrammed due to response noted in the Correct answer prior to any MSlV closure caused by loss of both DC & AC control power. To lose power to the Inboard MSlV solenoids would require 29AOV-80A-D MSlV DC Inboard Solenoids powered from 71 DC-A2 &

29AOV-80A-D MSlV AC Inboard Solenoids powered from RPS "A" to be de-energized. Power has been lost to the DC solenoids however, RPS MG Set 1A is fed from MCC-251 fed via 10500 which would not lose power till the generator trips & the 10500 buss loses power as it will not transfer due to loss of DC control power to the 10500 breakers.

C.

Correct Response - Main turbine trip from loss of DC power to EHC trip logic, If Rx power > 29 %, a Rx scram will occur from main turbine stop valve closure.

D.

Incorrect - Loss of DC Power System 'A' results in a downscale failure of FDWTR flow 06FI-89A & Stm flow 06FI-88A & C. Control power is lost to RFP 'A' but RFP 'B' is not affected. The Rx would have scrammed due to response noted in the Correct answer prior to any scrams caused by water level from Steam /FW flow mismatch & loss of RFPT A speed control.

AK2.09 Containment Proposed Question:

  1. 8 Drywell sprays are in service to support EOP actions when a complete loss of nitrogen occurs.

Due to a logic failure, the drywell spray valves (1 OMOV-26A & 9, 1 OMOV-31 A & 9) have been opened locally using the local handwheels.

Is the Torus AUTOMATICALLY protected from exceeding design parameter(s) under these conditions and why/why not?

A.

Yes. Drywell vacuum breakers will open to relieve Torus pressure to the Drywell.

B.

Yes. Reactor Building to Torus vacuum breakers will open at 0.5 psid, Reactor Builc C.

fail to relieve Torus pressure to the Drywell.

No. Drywell vacuum breakers fail closed on a loss of pneumatic pressure and will D.

operated No. Reactor Building to Torus vacuum breakers are isolated by pneumatically butterfly valves, which fail closed on a loss of pneumatic pressure.

Proposed Answer:

D Explanation (Optional): Per DBD-O16A, AOP-12 and SDLP-169 lnst N2 supplies 27AOV-l01A(B) RB to Torus Vacuum Bkr isolations which fail closed on a loss of pneumatics. Per stem as DW pressure lowers from spray operation, it will result in torus to DW vacuum breaker (purely mechanical) opening to relieve higher torus pressure to DW. As torus pressure lowers, the RB atmosphere would normally be relieved to the torus via the 27AOV-101 A(B) path but due to a loss of pneumatics, these valves will fail closed.

A.

Incorrect - lnst N2 supplies 27AOV-l01A(B) RB to Torus Vacuum Bkr isolations which fail closed on a loss of pneumatics thus the containment is not protected automatically from a negative pressure condition. DW vacuum breaker functions independently of IA but will not prevent containment failure under the conditions given in the stem.

B.

Incorrect - lnst N2 supplies 27AOW-i01A(B) RB to Torus Vacuum Bkr isolations which fail closed on a loss of pneumatics thus the containment is not protected automatically from a negative pressure condition. DW vacuum breaker functions independently of IA but will not prevent containment failure under the conditions given in the stem.

C.

Incorrect - lnst N2 supplies 27AOV-l0lA(B) RB to Torus Vacuum Bkr isolations which fail closed on a loss of pneumatics,thus the containment is not protected automatically from a negative pressure condition. DW vacuum breaker functions independently of IA in the stem.

D.

Correct - lnst N2 supplies 27AOV-l01A(B) RB to Torus Vacuum Bkr isolations which fail closed on a loss of pneumatics thus the containment is not protected automatically from a negative pressure condition.

  1. 14 Given the following conditions:

The plant is at 100% power.

The RPV water level reference leg backfill system is out of service due to CRD supply pipe leak-the pipe is currently tagged out for maintenance.

Feedwater control is in MANUAL.

0 A loss of drywell cooling causes elevated drywell temperature and pressure.

Which statement below describes Narrow Range Level instrument response and the reason for this response?

Assume operator action.

A.

leg densities both increase.

There will be NO change in indicated level because the reference and variable B.

instruments are density compensated.

There will be NO change in indicated level because the narrow range C.

Indicated level will decrease because of increased reference leg density.

D.

Indicated level will increase because of decreased reference leg density.

Proposed Answer:

D Explanation (Optional): On elevated DW temperature, the Narrow Range instrument would sensehndicate a level higher than normal. The X dimension (reference leg) is greater than the Y dimension (variable leg). The pressure reduction due to density change is greater than the change in the variable leg causing the indicated level to be greater than actual level. Additionally, the FW level instrument is density compensated due to variations in RPV water temperature by sensing RPV pressure to compensate for the normal temperature of the reference leg being more dense that the RPV water, the pressure exerted by 1 ft of water in the reference leg would be greater than that of 1 ft of RPV water, with the conditions given in the stem, higher DW temperature this would not offset the density compensation.

A.

variable leg FW level compensate for the the RPV water, the greater than that of 1 ft of DW temperature this would not C.

variable leg D.

variable leg Fw level compensate for the the RPV water, the greater than that of 1 ft of DW temperature this would not Incorrect-The reference leg density is affected more due to length than the Incorrect-The reference leg density is affected more due to length than the thus the indicated level would be higher than normal.

thus the indicated level would be higher than normal. Additionally, the instrument is density compensated by sensing RPV pressure to normal temperature of the reference leg being more dense that pressure exerted by 1 ft of water in the reference leg would be RPV water, with the conditions given in the stem, higher offset the density compensation.

Incorrect-The reference leg density is affected more due to length than the Correct - The reference leg density is affected more due to length than the thus the indicated level would be higher than normal.

thus the indicated level would be higher than normal. Additionally, the instrument is density compensated by sensing RPV pressure to normal temperature of the reference leg being more dense that pressure exerted by 1 ft of water in the reference leg would be RPV water, with the conditions given in the stem, higher offset the density compensation.

Importance Rating 3.6 3.8 295030 Low Suppression Pool Water Level EK3. Knowledge of the reasons for the following responses as they apply to LOW SUPPRESSION POOL WATER LEVEL: (CFR: 41.5 / 45.6) EK3.06 Reactor SCRAM Proposed Question:

  1. 15 Given the following:

The reactor is at 100% power.

0 A Torus level lowering transient is in progress.

0 Torus level reaches13.00 feet and continues to lower.

0 A manual scram is inserted in accordance with EOPs.

What is the basis for this action?

A.

SRV tailpipe vacuum breakers are uncovered, so the containment will be directly pressurized if the SRVs lift as Torus level continues to lower.

B.

Tech Specs requires an immediate reactor scram.

C.

containment.

Limits the energy which may subsequently be discharged into the primary D.

concerns.

Low pressure ECCS is inoperable and unavailable due to NPSH and vortex Proposed Answer:

C

A.

Incorrect - SRV tailpipe vacuum breakers are normally uncovered as they relieve DW steam condensation from causing a low pressure condition that draws water up from the Torus damage.

B.

Incorrect - TS has a two hour action to recover level to normal and then a 12 Hour period to be n Mode 3.

C.

Correct - Entering EOP-2 assures that, if possible, the Rx is scrammed &

shutdown is assured by control rod insertion before RPV depressurization is initiated.

The inability to maintain torus water level above 10.75 ft. represents a clearly degraded plant condition.

Entering EOP-2, places the Rx in a lower energy state and permits actions to be initiated which limit the energy which may subsequently be discharged into the primary Cnmt.

Entry into EOP-2 must be explicitly stated because conditions requiring entry into EOP-4 do not necessarily require entry into EOP-2.

Therefore, a scram may not yet have been initiated. Directing that EOP-2 be entered, rather than explicitly stating here "Initiate a Rx scram," coordinates actions currently being executed if EOP-2 has already been entered. (Note: EOP-2 requires initiating a Rx scram only if one has not previously been initiated.) In addition, entry to EOP-2 must be made because it is through EOP-2 that the transfer to RPV ED is affected.

D.

vortex concerns is addressed in Torus temperature leg and is associated with the HCTL on atmosphere pressure to the SRV tailpipes to prevent after a SRV lift the into the tailpipe which on a subsequent SRV lift would result in equipment Incorrect - Low pressure ECCS is inoperable and unavailable due to NPSH and torus temperature and RPV pressure relationships.

Proposed Answer:

B Explanation (Optional): PER DBD-027, flow rate for SGTS is 6000 scfm, also in OP-20 expected to be 5800 scfm. To adjust the flowrate if too high is done per ST-39D by adjusting SGT Fan A Suct lsol Valve, 01 -1 25SGT-2A locally (normally it is locked at 635 open) but this is for adjusting the flowrate and maintaining the reactor building d/p. For the conditions given in the step there is no procedure guidance to make the flow rate adjustment. The correct action would be to shift SGTS trains and initiate corrective action to adjust the A train flowrate per ST-39D. A review of procedures and the DBD did not provide a lower flowrate when venting the DW, the flowrate would be expected to be in the 5800 scfm band when venting through the 6 pipe.

EOP-3 has the operator verify recirculation runback to minimum prior to tripping the recirculation pumps.

Proposed Question:

  1. 75 Per EOP-3 basis, the reason for this is to prevent:

A.

MSIV closure.

B.

Main Turbine trip.

C.

Condensate Pump trip.

D.

A rapid pressure increase which may lift a relief valve.

Proposed Answer:

B Explanation (Optional): In order to effect a rapid power reduction, if the main turbine is on line, the RWR pumps are ran back to minimum speed. This increases the void production in the core which increases the slowing down length of the neutrons increasing the chances of resonance capture, thereby adding negative reactivity to shutdown the reactor. If RWR pumps are tripped from too high a speed, a resulting level swell could result in a trip of the Main turbine affecting the main condenser heat sink ability to remove all the heat generated from the Rx, would be limited to just the main turbine bypass valve capacity as the major heat rejection method which could ultimately result in challenges to the containment from heat addition from SRVs..

A.

B.

the trip.

C.

pumps.

D.

cause a decrease in pressure.

Incorrect - The MSlVs close on a low level, not a high level.

Correct - The runback of the recirc pumps minimizes the vessel level swell after The swell could result in the loss of the turbine/generator system.

Incorrect - The feedwater pumps trip on a high reactor level, not the condensate Incorrect - The runback inserts negative reactivity, which lowers power and will Technical Reference(s): BWROG EPG/SAG (Attach if not previously Guidelines provided)
