EXAMINATION ANSWER KEY CCNPP 2008 NRC SRO Exam 1

ID: Q50399 Points: 1.00 Which of the indications listed below is the ONLY indication we will ALWAYS get for a reactor trip (other than DSS) when all systems are functioning normally?

A.

Matrix relay status lights - out.

B.

Protection Channel Trip Alarm.

C.

Red Trip light on one trip unit.

D.

CEDS NO CONTR VOLT Answer:

A Answer Explanation:

For any RPS Trip the Matrix relay status lights must be out, as this is how the TCB UV coils are denergized and the SHunt trip energized.

A protection Channel Trip Alarm will be in for most automatic trips, but if a manual trip is inserted using the PB on 1 C05 or 1 C15 below 14%, you will not have a protection channel trip alarm Red Trip Light on one trip unit, only if you have had a trip signal for that unit's sensors.

For manual trip this will not occur, subject to discussion above about protection channel trip alarm.

CEDS NO CONTR VOL alarm is in when you loose DC voltage for CED control movement, not trip path related KA Number:

-Shutdown cooling is in service using 11 LPSl pump

-RCS temperature is 180 O F

-RCS pressure is 120 PSlA with a bubble in the pressurizer

-A component cooling leak has developed which will render both SDC heat exchangers unavailable Which of the following options should be taken to control RCS temperature?

A.

Allow RCS to heat up, then control RCS temperature by bleeding steam from the Steam generators Verify RCS pressure is less than 170 PSlG and align a Containment Spray pump for shutdown cooling Start a HPSl pump and open the PORVs to provide core cooling via RCS blowdown to containment B.

C.

D.

Start a charging pump and open the PORVs to provide core cooling via RCS blowdown to containment Answer:

A Answer Explanation:

Allow RCS to heat up, then control RCS temperature by bleeding steam from the Steam generators-correct, per AOP-3B.

Verify RCS pressure is less than 170 PSlG and align a Containment Spray pump for shutdown cooling-incorrect, this alignment still relies on the SDC heat exchangers are required for heat removal.

Start a HPSl pump and open the PORVs to provide core cooling via RCS blowdown to containment--incorrect, this results in needless containment contamination when S/Gs are available.

Start a charging pump and open the PORVs to provide core cooling via RCS blowdown to containment-incorrect, in addition to contaminating containment, this will not provide adequate cooling until greater than 100 hours0.00116 days <br />0.0278 hours <br />1.653439e-4 weeks <br />3.805e-5 months <br /> after shutdown.

A.

1. RCP seal replacement requiring reduced inventory.
2. Steam generator replacement.

B.

1. RCP seal replacement requiring reduced inventory.
2. Refueling operations.

C.

1. S/G nozzle dam installation.
2. Performing LLRT on the common SDC suction piping containment penetration.

D.

1. MOV 651 maintenance requiring SDC to be secured.
2. Refueling operations.

Answer:

C Answer Explanation:

Higher risk is defined as a plant configuration or condition during shutdown where the plant is more susceptible to an event causing the loss of a key safety function. If a contingency plan cannot provide comparable equipmenVrneasures to the original Defense-in-Depth then the evolution is a Higher Risk Evolution. Typically, our higher risk evolutions are anything which puts us in reduced inventory and anything which secures all of SDC (i.e. LLRT or common suction header maintenance).

A is incorrect because Steam Generator replacement is not higher risk B is incorrect because refueling operations are not higher risk.

C is correct because nozzle dam installation requires reduced inventory and LLRT on the common SDC suction piping containment penetration requires securing all of SDC.

D is incorrect because refueling ins not higher risk 24 March 2008 OPERATIONS Page: 9 of 37

A.

Reactivity Control safety function cannot be met in EOP-0 due to no power available to CEA indications.

B.

Reactor trips on S/G low level, and the EOP-0 flowchart recommends EOP-6 implementation.

C.

EOP-5 is implemented and the intermediate Safety Function Acceptance Criteria is not being met.

D.

The EOP-0 flowchart recommends implementing both EOP-2 and EOP-6.

Answer:

C Answer Explanation:

Reactivity Control is incorrect, EOP-0 accepts this condition for not meeting Reactivity.

Trip on S/G Low level, but flowchart recommends EOP-6 is incorrect, a single event diagnosis is possible.

Intermediate acceptance criteria not being met is correct, EOP-8 would be implemented if the Intermediate Safety Function is not met.

Flow chart recommends 2 EOPs. Optimal recovery procedure for EOP-5 incudes the effec of a loss of Offsite power (EOP-2)

Pressurizer Pressure is 150 PSlA being maintained by HPSl & LPSl flow RCS Subcooling based on CETs is 5°F Which one of the following set of conditions is the minimum needed to ensure adequate core cooling?

A.

HPSl and LPSl flow appropriate for current RCS pressure AND Thot - 425°F B.

HPSl and LPSl flow appropriate for current RCS pressure AND Thot - 405°F C.

HPSl and LPSl flow appropriate for current RCS pressure AND Thot - 388°F D.

HPSl and LPSl flow appropriate for current RCS pressure AND Thot - 360°F Answer:

B Answer Explanation:

Need to recognize that with CETs at 5°F subcooling, subcooled natural circulation is not being met.

Per EOP-5 Block Step IV. N 2, for verifying subcooled natural circulation, if natural circulation subcooling is not being met, then need to ensure no more than 50" superheat to ensure adequate core cooling.

Since RCS pressure is 150 PSlA the minimum conditions for providing at less than 50°F superheat HPSl and LPSl flow appropriate for current RCS pressure AND Thot - 405°F - Correct would give e 50°F superheat (Sat temp for 150 PSlA = 358.4"F) 360°F would provide e 50°F but the question asked the minimum conditions to give < 50" superheat 388°F would provide e 50°F but the question asked the minimum conditions to give c 50" superheat 425°F would not provide c 50°F OPERATIONS Page: 14 of 37 24 March 2008

(a.) failure of SGlS Channel A to actuate, (b.) Shut one(1) Main Feed Isolation Valve Answer:

B Answer Explanation:

failure of SlAS Channel A to actuate--is correct. One train of containment coolers would fail to operate, and one train of containment spray would fail to operate (spray pump would not start).

Failure of CIS channel B would not appreciably change containment parameters unless an instrument air leak also existed.

Failure of CSAS channel B to actuate would result in only a spray train failure (one spray valve would remain shut) but all containment coolers would operate.

Failure of SGlS channel A to operate is incorrect, each channel operates all required equipment.

A Answer Explanation:

Refueling pool level changes--correct per 01-36 general precaution F. The Main Exhaust Fan tripping would cause Containment Purge to secure. This would change conatinment pressure by several tenths PSIG, with the transfer tube gate valve open, pool level will change accordingly due to the differential pressure between the SFP area and containment.

Containment temperature rises 5 to 10 degrees--incorrect, depending on weather, and status of plant heating to Purge, temperature could fall.

Containment pressure rises 1 to 2 PSIG--incorrect, containment pressure will change, but experience indicates, the change will be less than.5 PSIG.

Area radiation monitors (RE-531 6A-D) indicate higher--incorrect, the area monitors would not change in Purge is lost.

TRIP 11A & 12B RCPs to minimize coolant inventory loss from the RCS D.

TRIP 11B & 12A RCPs to minimize heat input into the RCS Answer:

C Answer Explanation:

Choice C is correct based on EOP-5 Basis. The EOP basis says that the RCP trip strategy ensures RCPs are secured for a small break LOCA (the hot leg case being more restrictive), while at the same time allowing two or more RCPs to remain running in the event of a non-LOCA. The incentive for stopping all RCPs during a LOCA is to minimize coolant inventory loss from the RCS. Further, it states that if RCS pressure drops to 1725 PSIA, as a result of the event, then trip RCPs so that either of the following pairs of RCPs remain running : 11A and 12B (21A and 22B)

RCPs, or 11B and 12A (21B and 22A) RCPs, and to trip all RCPs if CIS has actuated, Component Cooling flow can not be verified to the RCPs, or if RCS temperature and pressure are less than the minimum pump operating limits.

THe conditions given support the conclusion that the trip strategy should be implemented.

Distractor A is incorrect since it states an incorrect basis for the trip two leave two strategy, the strategy is not based on minimizing heat input into the reactor.

Distractor B is incorrect since it lists and incorrect pair of RCPs to trip Distractor D is incorrect since it lists and incorrect Basis for the trip two leave two strategy OPERATIONS Page: 1 of 97 24 March 2008

Heat removal is adequate based on 21 or 22 S/G C.

Heat removal is inadequate based on 21 & 22 S/G levels D.

Heat removal is inadequate based on 21 S/G only Answer:

C Answer Explanation:

Distractor A is incorrect since 22 S/G level is -90" which is below the top of the tube bundle (-72"). Per the EOP-5 basis fpr Step IV. L on page 45. the safety analyse for small break LOCA assumes the S?G tubes are covered during recovery to permit adequate HPSl flow..

Adequate RCS heat removal will be maintained as long as at least one S/G has feedwater capability so its level can be maintained and has steaming capability so energy can be removed from the S/G. The S/Gs are checked to ensure either main or auxiliary feedwater is maintaining adequate S/G water level.

Maintaining at least one S/G as a heat sink available for RCS heat removal and cooldown is especially important in the case of a small break LOCA where RCS coolant leaking from the rupture is insufficient to remove the decay heat being produced. The Safety Analysis for Small Break LOCA assumes that the S/G tubes are covered during recovery to permit adequate HPSl flow. In addition, maintaining S/G water level above the top of the U-tubes provides sufficient static pressure head to prevent migration of containment radioactivity to the S/G secondary side.

The crew is evaluating restoring CCW and restarting 11A RCP. 11A RCP temperatures were hotter than 1 lB, 12A and 12B RCP temperatures by 5°F. Given 11A RCP lower seal temperature reached 284°F and Controlled Bleed-off (CBO) temperature of 260"F, which one of the following actions is acceptable?

A.

CCW flow can be reestablished but must be throttled since 11 A RCP lower seal temperature was 284°F B.

CCW flow can be reestablished to the RCPs by simply opening the CNMNT isolation valves since CBO flow remained less than 280°F C.

After CCW flow has been reestablished, restart one of the other RCPs (all conditions met) since their CBO remained less than 260°F D.

After CCW flow has been reestablished, 11A RCP can be restarted (all conditions met) since CBO remained less than 280°F.

Answer:

A Answer Explanation:

B. is incorrect, since lower seal temperature reached 284"F, CCW must be throttled on reinitiation.

B Answer Explanation:

(a) A rupture of the Service water system in the Turbine Building, (b) Trip the reactor and turbine, shut the turbine building isolation valves is the correct answer per AOP-7B basis.

The worst case leak scenario would be a IeaWrupture in the turbine building which would empty the SRW system in a short time,. This would render both SRW subsystems inoperable and hinder the safe shutdown of the plant. This would be indicated by the decrease of all SRW header pressures and the lowering of both head tanks.

AFW is supplying 11 S/G ONLY AFW is supplying 12 S/G ONLY AFW is isolated to 11 & 12 S/Gs D.

AFW is supplying 11 & 12 S/G Answer:

D Answer Explanation:

AFAS start signal is initiated when EITHER S/G has two of its four wide range level transmitters sensing e -1 70(170 inches from normal level of 0 inches)

Starts AFW after a 20 second time delay to prevent spurious actuation.

If the S/G level rises above -1 7 0 prior to the 20 seconds the AFAS start signal will drop out. However, the sensors will have to reset.

Once initiated AFAS start stays locked in.

AFAS BLOCK Secures AFW flow to the SG that has been identified as RUPTURED by shutting four blocking valves (2 motor and 2 turbine) to the S/G Monitors four pressure channels for each SG.

Differential pressures of sensors (one from each SG) provides input to two bistables which trip at 1 15 psid (TS setpoints are 135 and 130).

When there are 2 of 4 D/P signals from a SG the logic matrix from either SG sends a RUPTURE signal to BOTH actuation logic subsystems (ZA and ZB).

LlCl 1 OY, AND when in Mode 1 at NOP/NOT, 1 LI-103 will read approximately the same as 1 -LIC-1 1 OX and 1 -LIC11 OY - this is correct because 1-LIC-11 OX and 1 -LICl 1 OY are calibrated for NOP/NOT conditions and as the pressurizer cools the density gets greater causing the DP ( between reference leg and pressurizer) to lessen, given a higher indicated level. LI-103 is calibrated from 1TE-101 and PT-105A and will indicate correctly throughout its range.
