( With the plant in Mode 2, ONE (1) PZR code safety valve is identified as having a lift setting of 2430 psig.

Which ONE of the following is the basis for the action required and the MAXIMUM time allowed to restore the safety valve to OPERABLE status prior to initiating a plant shutdown?

Basis is that there is less than the required relief capability assuming ...

A. a complete loss of load with no reactor trip and steam dumps operate at design setpoints; 5 minutes B. a complete loss of load with no reactor trip and steam dumps operate at design setpoints; 15 minutes C. a complete loss of load with no reactor trip and no operation of PZR PORVs; 5 minutes D~ a complete loss of load with no reactor trip and no operation of PZR PORVs; 15 minutes D is correct. In Modes 1, 2, 3, all code safeties must have lift settings of 2485 =/- 1% or restore within 15 minutes. Also correct basis.

B is correct time but incorrect basis due to no credit being given for operation of Condenser Steam Dumps.

A is Wrong time and incorrect basis. Time is plausible because it is the time allowed to restore RCS pressure when a safety limit is exceeded.

C is incorrect time, correct basis.

  • Pressurizer level transmitter L1-459A output has failed.
  • The crew is removing the transmitter from service in accordance with the OWP.

Which ONE of the following describes whether a technical specification action statement must be entered, and the applicability and Technical Specification Basis for the High Pressurizer Water Level reactor trip?

A'! T.S. 3.3.1, RPS Instrumentation, must be entered; Mode 1 above P-7; Provides a backup trip to PZR High Pressure reactor trip and ensures that water relief through the PZR safety valves will not occur.

B. T.S. 3.3.1, RPS Instrumentation, must be entered Modes 1 and 2; Provides primary protection for loss of load events and ensures that on a PZR level channel failure, the PZR safety valves will not lift prior to the PZR High Pressure reactor trip.

C. T.S. 3.3.1, RPS Instrumentation, does not apply since 2 channels are still available; Modes 1 and 2; Provides a backup trip to PZR High Pressure reactor trip and ensures that water relief through the PZR safety valves will not occur.

D. T.S. 3.3.1, RPS Instrumentation, does not apply since 2 channels are still available; Mode 1 above P-7; Provides primary protection for loss of load events and ensures that on a PZR level channel failure, the PZR safety valves will not lift prior to the PZR High Pressure reactor trip.

A: Correct. PZR High Level Reactor trip is interlocked with P-7 permissive. TS Basis 3.3.1, provides for backup to PZR High Pressure. If a level channel failed, pressure overshoot from the low rate of charging flow would not cause the safety valves to lift prior to reactor trip.

B: Incorrect. PZR High level trip is applicable in Mode 1 above P-7. The trip does not provide primary protection. It is a backup.

C: Incorrect. PZR High level trip is applicable in Mode 1 above P-7, not for Modes 1 and 2. Correct for reason of backup protection.

0: Incorrect. PZR High level trip is applicable in Mode 1 above P-7. Incorrect for reason, it is the backup to the primary protection.

( Initial Conditions:

  • A controlled shutdown was being performed due to a 200 GPO primary-to-secondary leak on "B" steam generator.
  • During the shutdown, SG tube leakage increased to approximately 150 GPM.
  • The reactor did NOT automatically trip when required.
  • The BOP operator then reported all steam generator pressures at 850 psig and lowering rapidly.
  • The crew manually initiated Safety Injection and Main Steam Isolation signals.
  • All ESF systems functioned properly.

Current Conditions:

  • Containment pressure is 0.6 psig and stable.

Which ONE of the following describes the HIGHEST emergency classification for this event?

A. Alert (8-1-2)

B. Alert (2-1-2)

C~ Site Area Emergency (8-1-3)

D. Site Area Emergency (2-1-3)

C is correct.

A is incorrect because although conditions are met for this classification, it is not the HIGHEST classification.

8 is incorrect because although conditions are met for this classification, it is not the HIGHEST classification.

D is incorrect because the conditions are not met for this classification.

Given the following:

  • The plant is in Mode 6, Core Alterations in progress.
  • Battery 1B-SB is out of service.
  • Maintenance reports that Battery 1A-SA electrolyte is overflowing in several cells.

Which ONE of the following is the maximum time allowed before TS action is required, and why?

A. 1 Hour; A subsequent loss of off-site power would result in loss of all DC subsystems with attendant loss of ESF functions.

B. Immediate action required; A subsequent loss of off-site power would result in loss of all DC subsystems with attendant loss of ESF functions.

C. 1 Hour; Sufficient control and instrumentation capability is no longer available to monitor and maintain the unit status D~ Immediate action required; Sufficient control and instrumentation capability is no longer available to monitor and maintain the unit status A. Incorrect. Time requirement is a standard T.S. time requirement, but immediate is required in this instance. Reason is incorrect, though plausible if candidate believes a coincident loss of offsite power is the limiting condition for this as it is with several other T. S. actions (for example 3.7.1.3 &3.4.8.1)

B. Incorrect. Time requirement is correct but action is incorrect.

C. Incorrect. Time requirement is incorrect, but basis is correct.

D. Correct. Immediate action is required by T.S. 3.8.2.1. Basis is correct for this mode.
