EXAMINATION ANSWER KEY CCNPP 2008 NRC RO EXAM 1 ID: (250230 Points: 1.00 Unit 1 was operating at 100% power MOC when an event occurred. The appropriate AOP was entered, appropriate actions were taken and the reactor was manually tripped. No other actions have been taken. The following conditions now exist:

1. Pressurizer pressure is1724 PSIA and lowering
2. RCS Tcold is 530°F and steady
3. S/G Press is -880 PSIG in both S/Gs
4. Pressurizer level is 1 8 5 and rising
5. All CHG pumps are operating
6. Letdown is isolated
7. CNTMT Pressure is 1.7 PSlG and slowly rising Which of the following actions and reasoning are correct for the conditions given?

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

6. TRIP 11B & 12B RCPs to minimize coolant inventory loss from the RCS C. TRIP 11A & 128 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 Step 1V.E. 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 an incorrect pair of RCPs to trip Distractor D is incorrect since it lists an incorrect Basis for the trip two leave two strategy OPERATIONS Page: 1 of 146 11June2008

EXAMINATION ANSWER KEY CCNPP 2008 NRC RO EXAM 3 ID: Q50232R  : Points: 1.00 Unit 1 has been in a Station Blackout for the last hour. Power has just been restored to 11 4KV Bus via high line 5051. The crew is evaluating restoring CCW and restarting RCPs. 11A RCP temperatures were hotter than 11B, 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. Reestablish CCW flow to all RCPs by manually throttling 1-CC-284, CC CNTMT SUPPLY HDR ISOL valve, and NO RCPs should be restarted.

B. Reestablish CCW flow to all RCPs by manually throttling 1-CC-284, CC CNTMT SUPPLY HDR ISOL valve, and start 11B, 12A, OR 12B RCPs.

C. Reestablish CCW flow to all RCPs by opening 1-CC-3832-CV, CC CNTMT SUPPLY valve, and NO RCPs can be started.

D. Reestablish CCW flow to all RCPs by opening 1-CC-3832-CV, CC CNTMT SUPPLY valve, and start 11B, 12A, OR 128 RCPs.

Answer: A Answer Explanation:

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

A. is correct per EOP-7.

C. & D. are incorrect because with CBO temperature exceeding 250°F, the seals must be rebuilt.

NO-1-200 recommends that if CCW can be restored it should, even though you may not be able to run RCPs Based on AOP-7C block step VI.E.4 on page 30 OPERATIONS Page: 5 of 146 11 June 2008

RCS Temperature is 180°F 0 RCS Pressure is 180 psia 0 11 & 12 SGFP are secured and tagged out 0 Main & Auxiliary Feedwater is tagged out to 11 S/G for maintenance A loss of both LPSl pumps occurs. Due to a malfunction, no charging pumps are available. Which of the following is the next course of actions for these conditions?

A. Feed and bleed the RCS using the HPSl pumps and pressurizer PORVs.

6. Align condensate to 12 S/G and bleed steam from 12 steam generator.

C. Align a containment spray pump to provide flow through the shutdown cooling heat exchanger.

D. Feed and bleed the RCS using the CS pumps and pressurizer PORVs.

Answer: 6 Answer Explanation:

In this condition, with a loss of both LPSl pumps the preferred order would be to align a Containment spray pump, followed by steaming using available S/Gs, then followed by once through core cooling. However RCS pressure needs to be reduced to less than 170 PSIA to use the CS pumps. Since without Auxiliary Spray (No charging pumps) this is not possible, other means must be used.

A. Feed and bleed the RCS using the HPSl pumps and pressurizer PORVs. Is incorrect since the RCS is capable of being pressurized. This would be the last course of action of the available choices. A candidate might think that the other methods are not available since both S/Gs are not available and main feedwater is not available. A candidate might think that you need both S/Gs available for H/R.

6. Align condensate to 12 S/G and bleed steam from the 12 steam generator. Is correct since you have one S/G available for heat removal, and RCS pressure is too high for Containment spray pumps, and without a charging pump auxiliary spray is not available this is the next course of action.

C. Align a containment spray pump to provide flow through the shutdown cooling heat exchanger. Is incorrect since RCS pressure is greater than 170 PSIA, and auxiliary spray is not available to lower pressure (No charging pumps), this course of action is not correct for the conditions given. A candidate might not realize that RCS pressure is too high to use the CS pumps.

A. A loss of CCW due to a Salt Water Leak B. A loss of CCW due to CCW leak C. A loss of CCW due to a CCW Pump loss D. A loss of CCW due to a SW pump trip Answer: A Answer Explanation:

A. Correct - Saltwater leak in the CCW PP room CCHX heatup B. Incorrect, CCW head tank is steady. This distractor is plausible since a person could misconstrue the alarm for CCW pump room level, to indicate that CCW leakage is causing this alarm. They must combine this information with the other information in the stem, such as head tank level, to rule out a leak in the CCW header.

C. Incorrect, Alarms/lnfo given do not support loss of 11 or 12 CCW PPS. This distractor is plausible if a person misconstrues the meaning of the 13 CCW pump bkr alignment alarm to imply that they have lost a CCW pump. The alarm comes in on an improper bkr lineup, but is not the alarm you would get if a pump tripped, you would get D.

C. Proportional heaters will be at minimum power level, and the red lights will be illuminated. Pressurizer Spray will be at maximum flow.

D. Proportional heaters will be at minimum power level, and the green lights will be illuminated. Pressurizer Spray will be at 50% of maximum flow.

Answer: C Answer Explanation:

C . Proportional heaters will be at minimum power level, and the red lights will be illuminated.

Pressurizer Spray will be at maximum value. Is correct, heaters will respond as if RCS pressure were high. At +25 psia above the normal setpoint (2250) Minimum Power signal is applied to the heaters.

A. Proportional heaters will operate at approximately 1/3 higher power level than before the failure. Pressurizer Spray will be at 50% of maximum flow. Is incorrect, power to the heaters lowers on high pressure.

B. Proportional heaters will operate at approximately 1/3 lower power level than before the failure. Pressurizer Spray will be at maximum flow. Is incorrect, pressure difference will be outside the control band, causing minimum power to be sent to the heaters, and Pressurizer Spray to be at maximum.

D. Proportional heaters will be at minimum power level, and the green lights will be illuminated. Pressurizer Spray will be at 50% of maximum flow. Is incorrect, greerdred lights are function of breaker positions, supply breakers remain shut.

A. Diverse Scram System (DSS) will trip the Reactor by opening the MG Set Output breakers.

B. Diverse Scram System (DSS) will trip the Reactor by opening the load contactors from the MG sets.

C. Diverse Scram System (DSS) will trip the Reactor by energizing the RPS Matrix trip relays D. Diverse Scram System (DSS) will trip the Reactor by de-energizingthe RPS Matrix Relays.

Answer: E3 Answer Explanation:

DSS Trip from ESFAS will trip the Reactor on 2 out of 4 High Pressurizer Pressures by opening the load contactors from the MG sets. This is an Anti-ATWS trip feature in the event of an RPS failure.

The MG sets are started and stop from the local control panel in the 45' or 27' switchgear room (either location can control both MG sets). The local panels have controls to close and open the MG set Output breakers as well as the load contactor which sends the output of the MG set to the CEDMs. DSS performs its function by opening the load contactor. The output breakers are manually opened. When DSS actuates it opens the MG set load contactor which removes power from the CEDM and they insert via gravity.

A. Diverse Scram System (DSS) will trip the Reactor by opening the MG Set Output bkr.

Is incorrect, the output breaker is not opened by DSS, only the load contactors.

B. Diverse Scram System (DSS) will trip the Reactor by opening the load contactors from the MG sets. Is correct C. Diverse Scram System (DSS) will trip the Reactor by energizing the RPS Matrix Relays. Is incorrect because DSS does not use the Matrix Relays it uses the MG set load contactor.

D. Diverse Scram System (DSS) will trip the Reactor by de- energizing the RPS Matrix Relays. Is incorrect since DSS does not use the Matrix trip Relays.

11 S/G level is -50 inches and lowering 12 S/G level is -30 inches and lowering CNTMT pressure is 4.25 psig and rising All electrical busses are energized from their normal power supplies.

Pressurizer level is 160 inches and rising slowly Pressurizer pressure is 2250 psia and rising slowly Tavg is 545°F and rising slowly RCS subcooling is 40°F and lowering slowly Based on these conditions, which of the following has occurred?

A. A steam line rupture on 11 S/G has occurred

6. A steam line rupture on 12 S/G has occurred C. A condensate header rupture has occurred D. A feed line rupture has occurred Answer: D Answer Explanation:

Lowering levels are caused by loss of feedwater to the S/Gs A steam header rupture would result in an excessive cooldown and Subcooling would be higher than 40°F and increasing. A condensate header rupture would not result in containment pressure increasing.

A. A steam line rupture on 11 S/G has occurred. Is Incorrect. A steam line rupture will have some of the same symptoms as a feedline rupture including, lowering S/G levels due to the increased rate of mass removal, and if in containment it will cause an increase in containment pressure. However a steam line rupture will cause a lowering of RCS temperature, Pzr level and increase in subcooling. Because 11 & 12 S/G have different levels a candidate might choose the one with the lowest or highest level believing that a steam rupture exist on one or the other due to shrink or swell effects.

B. A steam line rupture on 12 S/G has occurred. Is incorrect. A steam line rupture will have some of the same symptoms as a feedline rupture including, lowering S/G levels due to the increased rate of mass removal, and if in containment it will cause an increase in containment pressure. However a steam line rupture will cause a lowering of RCS temperature, Pzr level and increase in subcooling. Because 11 & 12 S/G have different levels a candidate might choose the one with the lowest or highest level believing that a steam rupture exist on one or the other due to shrink or swell effects.

A condensate header will give some of the same symptoms as a feedwater line rupture outside of containment, including a lowering of S/G levels due to reduction of feedwater available to the S/Gs.

Also due to the lowering of S/G levels RCS temperature will increase causing Pzr level to increase. The temperature increase will cause subcooling to lower. However, a condensate header rupture will not cause an increase in containment pressure.

D. A feed line rupture has occurred - Is correct. A feedwater line rupture will result in a lowering of S/G levels due to reduction of feedwater available to the S/Gs. Also due to the lowering of S/G levels RCS temperature will increase causing Pzr level to increase.

6. A rupture of the Service water system in the Turbine Building as evidenced by HDR and tank alarms, location is turbine building as indicated by 1122 alarms, Trip the reactor and turbine, shut the turbine building isolation valves is the correct answer per AOP-76 basis.

A. Incorrect because it does not say to trip the reactor as is required by AOP7B C. Incorrect because of no reactor trip and steam line drain panel alarm which means the leak is in the turbine building D. Incorrect because leak is in the turbine building not auxiliary building because of 1122 alarms Plausibility analysis OPERATIONS Page: 27 of 146 11 June2008

EXAMINATION ANSWER KEY CCNPP 2008 NRC RO EXAM C. A candidate could choose distractor C or D since a leak or rupture of the Service Water header in the Auxiliary building would give a majority of the same symptoms as a IeaMrupture in the turbine building, including All SRW HDR Press lo alarms. This is because the SRW system in the auxiliary building and the turbine building are normally cross connected on the supply and return side. They are isolated from each other either on SlAS or manually by the operator. This means a rupture in a either Turbine building or Auxiliary building header will result in lowering pressure and head tank levels. In order to eliminate the Auxiliary building header as a source, the candidate must recognize that the steam drain panel alarm will come in on high level in any of the turbine building sumps. A high level in the turbine building sump means that the leak is in the turbine building. If a candidate did not recall that that this alarm is associated with a turbine building sump being high, then he will not be able lo eliminate distractor C or D Question 14 Info 3uestion Type:

EXAMINATION ANSWER KEY CCNPP 2008 NRC RO EXAM 15 ID: Q50258 Points: 1.00 AOP 7D, "Loss of Instrument Air", requires a reactor trip if IA pressure lowers to 50 PSIG in MODE 1. Which of the following is the reason for this?

A. Protect the Turbine/Generator from damage due to the loss of Service Water cooling B. Protect the RCS from overfeeding effects due to S/G level control concerns C. Protect the RCPs from damage due to CCW Containment CVs failing shut.

D. Protect the SGFP from damage due to miniflow valves failing shut Answer: B Answer Explanation:

Per the AOP 7D basis Step VA, B is the correct answer The FRVs fail as is at 40 psig. This would prevent S/G level control The 50 PSIG trip value was chosen to enable FRV's and TBVs response post trip. The objective is to allow the FRVs to ramp shut, removing the immediate need to trip the SGFPs due to overfeeding effects on the RCS.

A is incorrect since the SRW valves do not fail shut until a complete loss of IA occurs. Since at 50 PSIG we have not completely loss IA the SRW turbine building isolation valves will be open.

C is incorrect since the Containment CCW valves are 50% open at 40 PSIG which supplies sufficient flow. Per AOP7D these valves do not go full shut until you get to 13 psig IA pressure.

The steps for addressing the effects of loss of CCW are in the section for Modes 3,4,5,6.

D is not correct since the S/G miniflow valves fail open on loss of air.

Adjust the setpoint on TBV controller to maintain S/G pressure and Tcold and implement AOP 7K D. Implement AOP-7K, Overcooling Event, trip the Reactor and implement EOP-0 Answer: D Answer Explanation:

Lower turbine load to restore Tcold to program and implement AOP 7K, Overcooling Event. Is incorrect, Tcold has lowered to the trip setpoint of 515" per AOP7K the reactor should be tripped. These actions would be correct if Tcold were not at trip criteria for AOP- 7K.

Insert CEAs OR Borate the RCS and implement AOP 7K, Overcooling Event. Is Incorrect, Tcold has lowered to the trip setpoint of 515" per AOP-7K the reactor should be tripped. These actions would be correct if Tcold were not at trip criteria for AOP-7K.

Adjust the setpoint on TBV controller to maintain S/G pressure and Tcold and implement AOP 7K. Is Incorrect, these actions are associated with a loss of load event in which Tcold is lowering and are actions per AOP-7F. AOP-7F shares some symptoms with AOP-7K such as lowering megawatts, Tavgnref alarm and abnormal S/G pressure.

However the lowering Tcold should indicate this is an excess stream demand and not a loss of load.

Implement AOP-7K, Overcooling event, trip the Reactor and implement EOP-0. Is correct, from the symptoms given with Tavgnref alarm and the High Power demand reset alarm, an excess steam demand is causing overcooling of the RCS, increasing reactor power, and since Tcold has reached the trip criteria, a reactor trip should be initiated.

Unit 1 is operating at 100% power.

A group 5 CEA (#34)drops to bottom of the core. The appropriate AOP was entered and stabilizing actions are completed. It has been determined that the CEA # 34 is inoperable. Power has been reduced to 69% power.

Which ONE of the following describes the correct actions and reasons based on the conditions above?

A. AS1 is monitored using Excore Nls. Excore NI limits are more conservative than the lncore detectors B. AS1 is monitored using Excore Nls because the DAS must be declared inoperable under these conditions C. AS1 is monitored using lncore Nls because the Excore detectors are not reliable under these conditions D. AS1 is monitored using lncore Nls. lncore NI limits are more conservative than the excore detectors Answer: A Answer Explanation:

Per AOP 1B Basis for step VI.Cl . the Better Axial Shaping Selection System (BASS) is declared inoperable when any CEA is mispositioned by more than 15 inches from its respective group. With BASS operable, AS1 monitoring is performed by BASS using the incore detectors which are able to provide a more accurate picture of the core power distribution. When we must use the excore detectors to monitor ASI, because of their conservatism, if we were close to the AS1 limit prior to the event, a power reduction may be necessary to stay within the limits of the excore detectors.

With BASS inoperable the AOP directs AS1 monitoring using Excore and it states that these limits are more conservative than those associated with the incores which are normally used for AS1 monitoring A. AS1 is monitored using Excore Nls. Excore NI limits are more conservative than the lncore detectors -- is correct per AOP 1B basis, the limits are more conservative since the Excore detectors monitor a limited area of the core.

B. AS1 is monitored using Excore Nls because the DAS must be declared inoperable under these conditions-- Is incorrect per AOP I B basis. DAS is not declared inoperable under theses conditions. No alarms or indications that ( Data Acquisition System). DAS should be declared inoperable were provided. A candidate might mistakenly assume that DAS should be declared inoperable instead of BASS.

C.ASI is monitored using lncore Nls because the Excore detectors are not reliable under these conditions-- Is incorrect. Since BASS must be declared inoperable under the given conditions, The incore detectors are not used to monitor ASI. Under these conditions the lncore detectors are less reliable than the Excores.

following correctly describes the response of Wide Range Channel A outputs on 1CO5 if its high voltage power supply degrades slightly ( 10%) over 5 minutes?

A. Source Range Counts per second (CPS) ONLY will decrease in proportion to the decrease in voltage B. Source Range Counts per second (CPS) And Wide Range YOpower will remain the same.

C. Wide Range Yopower ONLY will decrease in proportion to the decrease in voltage.

D. Source Range Counts per second (CPS) And Wide Range Yo power will decrease in proportion to the decrease in voltage.

Answer: B Answer Explanation:

The Wide range (WR) Logarithmic nuclear instruments consist of four redundant channels that provide reactor power level indication from the source range ( CPS) to full power (% power). The wide range Log channels use fission chambers that operate in the ionization chamber region of the gas filled detector curve. This provides a constant output over varying voltages. In this region there is no appreciable increase in the number of ion pairs collected as voltage is increased. The operating range of the Wide Range detectors is from .1 CPS to 200 Yopower. The displays on 1CO 5 indicate Source range counts per second (CPS) on the left side of the indicator and ?Lo power on the right side of the indicator. Both the CPS and % power outputs are driven from the same circuitry. The candidate must recall the region of the gas filled detector curve that the Wide Range detectors operate in, and recall that in this region the ion pairs collected is not a function of applied voltage. The candidate must also recall that the Wide range detectors produces two output indicators ( CPS & % Power) and that both of these are driven by the same detector output, even though the circuitry operates under two different principles. The effect of voltage change is the same for both outputs.

A. Source Range Counts per second (CPS) ONLY will decrease in proportion to the decrease in voltage -- is incorrect since these detectors operate ( Both CPS and % power mode) in the ionization chamber region where small changes in voltage will have little effect on the detector out.

B. Source Range Counts per second (CPS) And Wide Range Yo power will remain the same.-- is correct since the detectors operate in the ionization region of the gas filled detector curve both CPS and Yo power indication will not be affected by small changes in high voltage.

C. Wide Range % power ONLY will decrease in proportion to the decrease in voltage.-- Is incorrect since the detectors operate in the ionization region of the gas filled detector curve both CPS and Yopower indication will not be affected by small changes in high voltage.

Also, the OC Diesel Generator can be potentially damaged since with a loss of the 07 bus the OC D/G will loose its pre-lubrication and can be potentially damaged if its is not started within 30 minutes, or air bottles connected to perform a pneumatic prelubrication. MCC 104 is stripped due to the potential damage to the PORV control circuitry which could result in a loss of RCS inventory.

A. AFW is supplying 11 S/G ONLY B. AFW is supplying 12 S/G ONLY C. 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 -170(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 -17 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 115 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).

Reference:

A LOCA occurred on Unit one 20 minutes ago. Concurrent with the LOCA, 14 4KV bus tripped due to a fault on the bus. As a result of the LOCA Containment pressure rose to 3.0 PSlG and operators verified the appropriate system actuations. RCS pressure is now 225 PSlA and the CRS has directed you to verify safety injection flow. Which of the following is the correct Safety Injection flow for these conditions, and what if any actions should be taken?

A. 1375 GPM, open 1-SI-653, HPSl HDR XCONN valve B. 1375 GPM, no additional actions required C. 690 GPM, open 1-SI-653, HPSl HDR XCONN valve D. 690 GPM, no additional action required.

Answer: D Answer Explanation:

A. 1375 GPM, open 1-SI-653, HPSl HDR XCONN valve -- Is Incorrect, the flow rate is not correct since 14 4KV bus tripped on fault, 1B D/G will not repower the bus so only one HPSl pump will be running so flow will be 690 GPM.

6.1375 GPM, no additional actions required-- Is incorrect, since 14 4KV bus tripped on fault, 1B D/G will not repower the bus so only one HPSl pump will be running so flow will be 690 GPM.

C. 690 GPM, open 1-SI-653, HPSl HDR XCONN valve -- Is Incorrect, the flow is correct but 1-Sl-653 is only opened if the flow is unacceptable, also since 14 4KV bus tripped on fault, 1B D/G will not repower the bus so no power is available for 12 HPSl pump or 1-SI-653.

D. 690 GPM, No additional action required..-- Is Correct since flow is acceptable Candidate has to use the conditions in the stem ( LOCA, RCS pressure and 14 4KV Bus tripping on fault) and interpret this to determine that 1B D/G will start, but due to the fault will not pick up the bus. This will leave him with one HPSl pump running and no power for 12 HPSl pump and no power for 1-SI-653 ( HPSl HDR cross-connect). He should determine that the flow rate is acceptable by evaluating the graph provided ( attachment 10 & 11) with one pump running and no other actions are required. If he assumes that 1B picks up the bus then he will assume two pumps. He may have the misconception that he needs to open the HPSl HDR X Conn since he only has one pump running, or assumes that he needs it open to start 12 HPSl pump.

0 Digital Feedwater Control System (DFWCS) is in AUTO 0 Turbine Bypass Valves (TBV) in AUTO with setpoint of 900 PSI 0 ALL Reactor Trip Circuit Breakers (TCBs) are shut 0 Crew is preparing to withdraw shutdown CEAs Due to an electrical malfunction developing on the CEDM bus the following indications are noted:

0 Four reactor trip bus UV relay indicator lights energize on the Trip Status Panel above 1C15 What impact will this have on DFWCS?

A. DFWCS will receive a signal from ESFAS AL ONLY to shift to Post Reactor Trip Mode B. DFWCS will receive a signal from ESFAS BL ONLY to shift to Post Reactor Trip Mode C. DFWCS will receive a signal from ESFAS AL & BL to shift to Post Reactor Trip Mode D. DFWCS will remain in its present mode and continue to feed the S/Gs Answer: B Answer Explanation:

B. Correct - DFWCS will receive a signal from ESFAS BL ONLY to shift to Post Reactor Trip Mode is the correct answer.

A. Incorrect as the signal to shift to post trip comes from ESFAS BL ONLY C. Incorrect the signal to shift to post trip mode comes from ESFAS BL only D. Incorrect- with UV on Rx trip bus DFWCS will shift to post trip mode.

The signal to shift the DFWCS to the post trip mode uses only ESFAS B logic channel.

This is activated when it receives 2 of four reactor trip bus undervoltage inputs. A candidate could have the misconception that this signal comes from A logic channel or both A and B logic channels. He could also have the misconception that you need to have a turbine trip and Rx trip bus undervoltage to get DFWCS into the post trip mode.

This is plausible since this was the configuration that existed some years ago (Turbine trip was an input to get DFWCS into post trip mode), but is no longer the case.

The SIAS Containment pressure transmitter (1PT5313B) fails high, which of the following describes a correct response for this condition?

A. 1-SRW-l597-CV, 11 SFP HX SRW Inlet valve closes.

6. 1-SI-4151-CV, Containment Spray Valve Opens.

C. 11 Penetration Room Exhaust Fans Starts.

D. 13 Containment Iodine Removal Unit Starts.

Answer: D Answer Explanation:

Containment Pressure transmitter 1PT5313 A - 6, supply a signal for SlAS on Hi containment pressure., when 1PT5313B fails with sensor cabinet ZF de-energized you have met the condition to actuate SIS on Containment pressure . Equipment actuated by a SIAS A or SlAS B will go to its actuated condition. You have not met the conditions for CIS, or CSAS in order to have equipment associated with these actuations to reposition.

Since 1PT 5313 6 does not feed CIS or CSAS. Those ESFAS signals will not actuate.

A. is incorrect SRW-1597-CV, 11 SFP HX SRW Inlet valve closes. This will happen on a CSAS B. is incorrect SI-4151-CV, Containment Spray Valve Opens..

A. The CACs can be started in Fast Speed at 1CO9 AND at the load contactor panel.

B. The CACs can be shifted to Fast Speed at the load contactor panel ONLY C. The CACs can be stopped from the load contactor panel ONLY D. The CACs can be stopped at 1CO9 and at the load contactor panel.

Answer: 6 Answer Explanation:

The CACs can be shifted to Fast Speed at the load contactor panel ONLY A is incorrect, with a SIS present CACS can not be started in fast speed from the CR per LD 76 sheet 11 B is correct since CACs can be shifted to Fast Speed at the load contactor panel ONLY C is incorrect, SlAS signal seals in per LD 76 sheet 11 D is incorrect SIAS signal seals in per LD 76 Sheet 11 All of the answers require the candidate to be familiar with the logic sheets and/or control drawings for the CACS. If a candidate does not know the logic he could have the misconception that the CACs can be shifted to fast or stopped with a SlAS present since the H/S at 1CO9 have a pull to lock feature to start them in slow. He could confuse this with the ability to pull to lock and stop the CACs. Some pumps ( CCW, SW, SRW) can be pulled to lock and will not start on SIAS. This is not true for the CACs. CACs are manually started in fast speed from 1CO9 when containment environment is degraded.

11 CAC is OOS, and CS pump A fails to start and CS pump B trips when started - this would leave you with three CACs which will maintain CNTMT temperature/pressure below design. Correct 13 CAC is 00s and 1A DG fails to start on SlAS this would leave one CAC and one spray pump which would not meet minimum DBA. Incorrect 13 CAC is OOS, and CS pump B fails to start and 1A D/G trips when started on SlAS -

this would leave No Spray pumps and 1 CAC which would not meet requirements.

Incorrect 11 CS is 00s , 13 SRW pump is 00s. 11 SRW pump fails to start on SlAS and 14A 480V breaker trips - this would leave 1 Spray pump and one CAC which is not above minimum. Incorrect OPERATIONS Page: 80 of 146 11June2008

(Assume no operator actions)

A. Both spray flowpaths are no longer available as the spray header CVs have failed closed on a loss of air.

B. No effect since the Containment Spray CVs would be supplied by Saltwater Air Compressors.

C. No effect, each spray header CV fails open on a loss of air to ensure the flowpath remains available.

D. No effect, the spray header CVs have keyswitches that override valves open to ensure the flowpath remains available.

Answer: C Answer Explanation:

A is incorrect: Containment Spray CVs fail open on loss of IA B is incorrect: The SWAC will not supply the spray CVs unless action is taken to override IA-2085 open C. Correct, since each spray CV fails open D, Incorrect, there is no override switch for the spray CVs , there is an override switch for the IA containment isolation valve The candidate must know that the CVs fail open on loss of air. Also, the candidate needs to know that there is no override switch for theses CVs. A misconception is plausible about this since there are override switches for various components that receive a CIS including the IA - containment isolation valve. However action is required by the operator to override the containment air isolation valve open. The SWAC will start on SlAS and supply air to components in containment, but only if the IA containment isolation vale is overridden open.

TBV 2-MS-3946-CV fails open Electrical MWs lowering Tave-Tref Alarm Which of the following actions AND reasons are correct for the conditions given:

A. Raise turbine load then insert CEAS, to stop reactor power rise.

B. Lower turbine load then withdraw CEAS, to restore Tcold to program.

C. Raise turbine load then insert CEAs, to maintain power < 5%

D. Lower turbine load then withdraw CEAS, to maintain reactor power Answer: D Answer Explanation:

A. Incorrect, (+ MTC) exists and TBV failing open would lower power B. Incorrect, withdrawing CEAS to control temperature is not sanctioned by AOP 7K C. Incorrect, Per AOP7K, caution, for + MTC overcooling event a positive reactivity addition will be needed to maintain power after temperature has been stabilized with turbine D. Correct per AOP 7K The conditions given in the stem state that this is a startup after a refueling outage. With the current fuel loading that CCNPP uses and has been using for several years, a positive MTC will exist up to about 70% power (620 MWE). With a positive MTC a TBV failing open will cause Tcold to lower which will cause power to lower. Per our procedures once the temperature mismatch has been corrected by lowering turbine load, a positive reactivity addition will be necessary to stabilize power.

It is plausible for a candidate to chose to maintain power c 5% since a step in AOP7K says that if power lowers to less than 5% then maintain it there. Since we are at 49%

power, a failed open TBV should not cause power to go to 5%. It is also plausible to chose withdraw CEAs to restore Tcold, since Tcold will be lowering and if a candidate does not understand that he must match secondary power to primary power to stabilize temperature then he will get this incorrect. If a candidate does not recognize that for the conditions given he has a positive MTC, then he might choose A or B.

Tripping of MFW pump turbine WA Match Analysis- The important aspects of this WA as applies to CCNPP are to be able to predict those operations and/ or malfunctions that will result in tripping a Main Feedwater pump and determine the actions to take to prevent this from occurring. In the conditions given in the stem of this question there are two items which if not corrected could directly lead to trip of the Main Feedwater pump, and the other two could indirectly lead to a trip. They are speed and suction pressure, While neither is at the trip setpoint as of yet, if they continue to degrade the impact of continued operation in this condition could be a trip of the feed pump. In this case for these conditions the candidate needs to determine that the speed is above the maximum for the conditions and needs to adjust the speed to less than or equal to 5100 RPMs to preclude the possibility of a feed pump tripping.

EXAMINATION ANSWER KEY CCNPP 2008 NRC RO EXAM 52 ID: Q20392 Points: 1.00 Unit 1 has tripped and EOP-0 is implemented. The Condenser Off-Gas (1-RE-1752), S/G Blowdown Recovery (1-RIC-4095), S/G Blowdown Recovery (1-RE-4014) radiation monitor meter indications are pegged LOW and all lights on their panels are out/dark.

What action should be performed to support the Radiation Levels External to Containment (RLEC) safety function?

A. Shut the Steam Generator Blowdown Control Valves and report RLEC cannot be met, due to loss of power effects B. Shut the Steam Generator Blowdown Control Valves and report RLEC is complete C. Restart the sample pumps and re-evaluatethe indications D. Attempt to clear all RMS alarms and re-evaluate the indications Answer: A Answer Explanation:

A. Shut the Steam Generator Blowdown Control Valves and report RLEC cannot be met due to loss of power effects per EOP-0.- Correct 9.Report "Radiation Levels External to Containment is complete" to the CRS--incorrect, the safety function should be reported as "cannot be met, due to loss of power effects".

NO-1-201, pages 25-26 C. Restart the sample pumps and re-evaluate the indications-incorrect, pumps cannot be restarted with power unavailable, as indicated by no lights on the panels energized.

D. Attempt to clear all RMS alarms and re-evaluate the indications--incorrect, alarms and indications cannot be restored with power unavailable, as indicated by no lights on the panels energized.

The cause of these indications is a loss of power to the Rad Monitors Distractor C is plausible since the candidate could have the misconception that the lights are out and indicators low due to a sample pump failing, which could be corrected by restarting it. He could also misconstrue theses indications as those of a saturated detector. 01-35 page 15 gives actions for resetting a saturated detector which includes taking the operate switch to reset , removing a fuse and taking the switch to operate.

Distractor D is plausible since the candidate could have the misconception that a spike has occurred on or near the detector and that by clearing the alarms the system will reset and he could revaluate the conditions. 01-35 gives actions for an RMS alarm due to a failed or degraded detector which include depressing the bypass pushbutton on the alarm display.

A. 1-CC-3832, CC CNTMT Supply Vlv HS must be in Shut and 1-IA-2080 MOV OVERRIDE HS must be in Override B. 1-CC-3832, CC CNTMT Supply Vlv HS must be in Shut and 1-IA-2080 MOV must be in shut C. 1-PA-1040,Plant Air CNTMT Isolation Vlv HS must be in Shut and 1-IA-2080 MOV OVERRIDE HS must be in Normal D. 1-CPA-l4lO-CV, CNTMT Purge Supply Vlv HS must be in Shut, and CNTMT Purge EXH Fan must be in OFF Answer: B Answer Explanation:

EOP Attachment 4 provides a list of the components that actuate on CIS, and provides an asterisk for those components that must have their handswitch in the Post Accident position to enable resetting CIS from the control room.

A Incorrect, 1-IA-2080 MOV override ( 1-HS-208A) must be in normal - Is plausible since it does get a CIS signal to close, the H/S is normally in normal. Candidate needs to recall the normal position of the handswitch. He could have a misconception that this H/S must be in normal position to reset since it is in normal.

6. Correct per EOP Attach 4 C. Incorrect, 1- PA-1040 is an administratively controlled valve., PA-1040 is for plant air containment isolation, and is administratively controlled. Candidate could have the misconception that since IA CV has a handswitch for overriding then the PA 1040 should have one too. Candidate has to recall the unique arrangement of plant air to containment in that PA-1040 is inside containment and if it is open then 1044 must be shut.

D. Incorrect, While 1- CPA-1410 CV receives a CIS signal, its status does not effect reset from control room, purge exhaust fan receives a CRS not CIS per LD 58. Candidate could have the misconception that this CV (Containment Purge SUPP) H/S needs to be in shut in order to reset CIS since it gets a CIS signal.

What effect will this have on the secondary and what initial steps should be taken to mitigate the consequences?

A. Reduced feed flow to the S/Gs and lowering levels will result. Bias Feed Pump speed as required to restore S/G levels.

B. Lower Feed Pump suction pressure will result. Verify a Condensate Booster pump automatically starts.

C. Cavitation and increased impeller wear will occur on the Condensate Pumps.

Reduce power to maintain Condensate header flow less than 8,000 GPM.

D. Lower Condensate header pressure will exist. Place Hotwell Level Control in manual and bypass the Condensate Demins and Precoat Filters.

Answer: D Answer Explanation:

Reduced feed flow to the S/Gs and lowering levels will result. Bias feed pump speed as required to maintain S/G levels-is incorrect, S/G levels should be maintained by the feed pumps and the feed reg valves automatically.

Lower feed pump suction pressure will result. Verify a condensate booster pump automatically starts.--is incorrect, suction pressure will lower, but not to the point where the standby CBP starts.

Cavitation and increased impeller wear will occur on the Condensate pumps. Reduce power to maintain condensate header flow less than 8,000 GPM.-- is incorrect, power reduction is not required on loss of 1 condensate pump from 100% power.

This is plausible since with only two condensate pumps running the remaining pumps will be operating closer to runout conditions which means the required NPSH has increased bringing them closer to cavitation conditions. However, a power reduction is not required by procedure other measures are taken to ensure adequate suction pressure for the feed pumps, including bypassing precoats and demins. IF you have less than two condensate pumps then a reduction in power is directed by procedure Lower condensate header pressure will exist. Place hotwell level control in manual and bypass condensate demineralizers and precoat filters.--is correct per indications and actions in AOP-3G.

Which of the following is the correct cause?

A. A fuel handling event in the spent fuel pool B. Elevated dose rates in the ECCS pump rooms due to SDC operation C. Leakage from a Waste Gas Compressor D. Excessive packing leakage from a Charging pump Answer: D Answer Explanation:

Excessive packing leakage from a Charging pump--correct per alarm response manual and operator experience A fuel handling event in the spent fuel pool--incorrect, the SFP area monitor and Main Vent RMS indications would also be expected to rise. Is plausible since a fuel handling event could cause this monitor to alarm, however other indicators would expect to rise as well, since the stem says all other indications re normal , you don't have a confirming rad monitor indication to support this event.

Elevated dose rates in the ECCS pump rooms due to SDC operation-incorrect, ECCS pump room RMS would indicate this, WP would only increase if SDC leakage were present.

Leakage from a Waste Gas Compressor--incorrect, Main Vent and Waste Gas Equipment Room area monitors would indicate this location for leakage.

C. CRO reports: "Taking alternate actions for Core and RCS Heat Removal Safety Function, opening TBV's and initiating AFW flow. RO reports: "Taking alternate actions for Reactivity Control Safety Function, borating the RCS. Is not correct, only one CEA is stuck out and the reactor is responding to the trip as expected so the reactivity control safety function is being met.

D. CRO reports: "Taking alternate actions for Core and RCS heat removal Safety Function, manually opening TBVs. RO reports: "Taking alternate actions for RCS Pressure and Inventory Control Safety Function, manually operating pressurizer heaters". Is not correct.

A. (1) Shuts waste gas discharge CVs, 0-WGS-2191 and 2192; (2) Reduce the Waste Gas Surge Tank pressure to prevent lifting the Waste Gas Surge Tank relief valve.

B. (1) Shuts waste gas discharge CVs, 0-WGS-2191 and 2192; (2)manually shut waste gas discharge header flow control valve, O-WGS-2191-PCV to prevent lifting the Waste Gas Discharge Relief Valve.

C. (1) Shuts waste gas discharge header flow control valve, O-WGS-2191-PCV; (2) Reduce the Waste Gas Surge Tank pressure to prevent lifting the Waste Gas Surge Tank relief valve.

D. (1) Shuts waste gas discharge header flow control valve, O-WGS-2191-PCV;(2) manually shut waste gas discharge CVs, 0-WGS-2191 and 2192 to prevent lifting the Waste Gas Discharge Relief Valve.

Answer: B Answer Explanation:

Per alarm actions for D-1.1 O-WGS-2191-PCV must be shut as soon as possible to prevent lifting the Waste Gas discharge header relief from going to the waste gas surge tank. This could lead to an inadvertent release out of the stack via the Waste Gas Surge Tank.(ALM Manual 1C-22 Window 0-1.1).

(1) Shuts waste gas discharge CVs, 0-WGS-2191 and 2192; (2) Reduce the Waste Gas Surge Tank pressure to prevent lifting the Waste Gas Surge Tank relief valve. -- Is Incorrect, the actions to reduce Waste Gas Surge Tank pressure are associated with the Main Vent Gaseous monitor alarming ( 1-RI-5414) and only if the pressure in the Surge Tank is high. No indication were given that these conditions exist.

(1) Shuts waste gas discharge CVs, 0-WGS-2191 and 2192; (2)manually shut waste gas discharge header flow control valve, O-WGS-2191-PCV to prevent lifting the Waste Gas Discharge Relief Valve. -- Is correct since if the PCV is not shut the effect of the CVs auto closing is that pressure will build up in the header and possibly lift the Waste Gas Discharge Header Relief valve back to the Waste Gas Surge Tank which could cause an inadvertent release out of the stack.

(1) Shuts waste gas discharge header flow control valve, O-WGS-2191-PCV;(2) Reduce the Waste Gas Surge Tank pressure to prevent lifting the Waste Gas Surge Tank relief valve.-- Is Incorrect. since the auto action does not shut the PCV, also the actions to reduce Waste Gas Surge Tank pressure are associated with the Main Vent Gaseous monitor alarming ( 1-Rl-5414) and only if the pressure in the Waste Gas Surge Tank is high. No indication were given that these conditions exist.

(1) Shuts waste gas discharge header flow control valve, O-WGS-2191-PCV;(2) manually shut waste gas discharge CVs, 0-WGS-2191 and 2192 to prevent lifting the Waste Gas Discharge Relief Valve. Is Incorrect. since the auto action does not shut the PCV OPERATIONS Page: 11 of 51 11 June2008

The question focuses on an important aspect of this knowledge for CCNPP. A Gaseous discharge alarm occurred and to prevent additional contamination from the source, the waste gas discharge valves are shut to isolate the source. The effects of isolating the source is that unless the PCV is shut, the waste gas discharge header relief will lift and discharge to the waste gas surge tank which could cause an inadvertent release. The candidate must interpret from the information that when the waste gas discharge CVs go shut to isolate the source, this will affect the waste gas discharge header and pressure will build up unless he shuts the PCV.

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

6. Reactor trips on S/G low level, and 11 125VDC bus voltage is reading 110 volts.

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:

A. Reactivity Control-- is incorrect, EOP-0 accepts this condition for not meeting Reactivity. Candidate could be confusing this condition with the condition that would exist if you had power to the CEA indications and you could not verify rods are inserted.

B. Reactor trips on S/G low level, and 11 125VDC bus voltage is reading 110 volts- Is Incorrect. If you do not have all DC buses greater than 105 VOLTS then you will have to go to EOP-8. Candidate could have the misconception that all busses need to be at 125 VOLTS to call Vital Auxiliaries not met.

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

D. Flow chart recommends 2 EOPs. Is Incorrect Optimal recovery procedure for EOP-6 includes the effect of a loss of Offsite power (EOP-2). Candidate could have the misconception that with a loss of offsite power and another event you need to go to EOP-8, however EOP-3, 4, 5, and 6 are designed to provide guidance for the event with a loss of offsite power.

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 A. 425°F would not provide c 50°F B. HPSl and LPSl flow appropriate for current RCS pressure AND Thot - 405°F - Correct would give c 50°F superheat (Sat temp for 150 PSlA = 358.4"F)

Need to understand that with one channel out of service, the RPS is in a two of three logic, when the second channel is tripped due to the failed sensor ( 1-PT-l02D) you are in a one of two logic to trip. Per technical specification 3.3.B 2 need to have one channel in bypass and one in trip.

A. (a.) The reactor will trip. (b.) Declare PT-102D inoperable and bypass PT-l02D.--ls Incorrect, since with one trip unit bypassed, when the second trip unit trips due to the sensor (1PI-l02D) failing high you still need one more of the remaining two in service bistables to trip to cause a reactor trip. Also, since with one trip unit already bypassed you are not allowed to bypass PT-102D bistables. You cannot have two bistables of the same parameter in bypass at the same time. This is prohibited by procedure and there is only one key available per trip parameter.

B. (a) The reactor would trip if PT-102 A or C were to fail high (b.) Declare PT-102D inoperable and place PT-102D in a tripped condition.-- Is Correct. since with one trip unit bypassed, when the second trip unit trips due to the sensor (1PI-102D) failing high its bistables will trip and you only need one more of the remaining two in service bistables to trip to cause a reactor trip. Technical specifications require that for this condition you place PT-102D in trip.

C. (a.) The reactor would trip if PT-102 A or C were to fail high. (b.) Declare PT-102D inoperable and bypass PT-102D.- Is Incorrect. You cannot have two bistables of the same parameter in bypass at the same time. This is prohibited by procedure and there is only one key available per trip parameter.

A. Inadvertent CIS channel B actuation-- Is incorrect. This would not appreciably change containment parameters. This is plausible since a candidate could have the misconception that with a loss of IA to containment the Containment Spray valves could fail shut and would need to have air supplied by opening IA-2080 MOV, containment isolation.

B. 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).

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

D. Failure of SGlS channel A to operate-- Is incorrect, each channel operates all required equipment. Candidate could have the misconception that with only one channel actuating he could still be supplying inventory to the S/G which could blow down to the containment, but either channel will isolate both MSlVs and Feed Isolations.

Given the following conditions:

0 Unit 1 is in Mode 6 0 Fuel Handling is in progress 0 Containment Purge is in operation to reduce noble gas activity below ALARA Dose Goals.

RI-5316A (ContainmentArea Monitor) has just been removed from service due to erratic operation. and has been placed in a tripped condition per Technical Specification 3.3.7A. You are the Operations Work Coordinator (OWC). Instrument Maintenance wants to trouble shoot the failed RI-5316A and has informed you that they will utilize peer checking to ensure they are working on RI-5316A only.

Which of the following is the correct Risk Assessment for this troubleshooting activity?

A. Medium Risk to Nuclear Safety AND Low Risk to Environmental Safety B. High Risk to Nuclear Safety AND Low Risk to Environmental Safety C. Medium Risk to Nuclear Safety, AND Medium Risk to Environmental Safety.

D. High Risk to Nuclear Safety AND Medium Risk to Environmental Safety Answer: C Answer Explanation:

Candidate should conclude based on the information in the stem of the question that this work is emergent work .His knowledge of the arrangement of the RMS panels informs him that channel A and B of RI-5316 are right next to each other and in the same drawer so there is a potential for incorrect performance which could lead to an ESF actuation (CRS) which would secure containment purge. He should then use attachments 11 and 2 of NO-1-1 17 to assess the risk. The note on Attachment 11 tells him that risk assessment applies to the shutdown unit, and step 1 of the attachment directs him to attachment 2 to determine the risk. From page 1 attachment 2 A1 he should determine that for the third bullet incorrect performance could lead to an ESF actuation and therefore leads him to section 2 for high risk assessment. On Page 7 of attachment 2 A l , he should determine based on information in the stem that verification practices are practical so the answers to this section is NO. and should lead him to Medium Risk to nuclear safety.

Environmental Risk is affected due to the potential for terminating a release associated with the containment purge.

Medium Risk to Nuclear Safety AND Low Risk to Environmental Safety -- Is Incorrect because it does not meet the criteria for attachment 2 (page 7) of NO-1-1 17 High Risk to Nuclear Safety AND Low Risk to Environmental Safety -- Is Incorrect because it does not meet the criteria for attachment 2 of NO-1-1 17 is related to electrical issues.(page 8)

High Risk to Nuclear Safety AND Medium Risk to Environmental Safety -- Is incorrect because it screens out as medium Risks , because the use of verification practices is practical.(page 7 item A l )

OPERATIONS Page: 32 of 51 11June2008

I I EXAMINATION ANSWER KEY CCNPP 2008 NRC SRO Exam Medium Risk to Nuclear Safety, AND Medium Risk to Environmental Safety. - Is correct because verification practices are practical in this situation and this makes it screen out as Medium Nuclear Risk and since potential for terminating the containment purge, this screens out to Medium Risk for Environmental Safety.

EXAMINATION ANSWER KEY CCNPP 2008 NRC SRO Exam 18 ID: (250462 Points: 1.00 During movement of irradiated fuel, a 30 gprn leak in the refueling cavity hatch seal requires that fuel handling cease. The refueling machine operator has just removed a fuel assembly from the core and is indexed over the upender. The transfer carriage is in the refueling cavity and vertical.

What actions should the FHS direct?

A. Immediately secure the refueling machine and evacuate containment.

B. Send the carriage to the spent fuel pool, place the fuel assembly in any empty core location and shut the transfer tube gate.

C. Place the fuel assembly in the deep pocket, beside the upender and shut the transfer tube gate valve.

D. Place the fuel assembly in the upender carriage, send it to the spent fuel pool and shut the transfer tube gate valve.

Answer: D Answer Explanation:

Immediately secure the refueling machine and evacuate containment. -- Is Incorrect.

Because the fuel assembly is not in a defined " safe location" (Inserted in core, Spent Fuel Pool, Upender, or grappled in either the bottom of the SFP upender area or bottom of the Spent Fuel Pool Upender area), securing the refueling machine is not correct. AOP

-6E specifically directs that the fuel assembly be placed in a safe location prior to securing power to the refueling machine.

Send the carriage to the spent fuel pool, place the fuel assembly in any empty core location and shut the transfer tube gate.-- Is Incorrect, per AOP 6E, since the fuel assembly was fully withdrawn, it must be placed in an approved core or SFP storage location. Since Nuclear Fuel Management has not designated all empty locations as approved this is not correct. If this had stated return to the previous core location this would have been acceptable per AOP 6E.

Place the fuel assembly in the deep pocket, beside the upender and shut the transfer tube gate valve.-- Is Incorrect, per AOP6E , the transfer tube gate valve cannot be shut until the transfer carriage is in the SFP. Since this has not been done this is not an acceptable answer.

Place the fuel assembly in the upender carriage, send it to the spent fuel pool and shut the transfer tube gate valve. - Is correct per AOP 6E. for the conditions stated the fuel assembly must be placed in upender, approved core location, or bottom of the RFP upender area grappled per AOP6E IV A.2.e OPERATIONS Page: 36 of 51 11June2008

-- SG blowdown tank radiation monitor (RI-4014) is in alarm

-- SG tube rupture is in progress on the effected SG and level is

+30 inches and steady

-- Upon the reactor trip a loss of main condenser vacuum occurred

-- SG level on unaffected SG reached -180 inches in EOP-0 and is presently at -100 inches and slowly returning to 0 inches It is desired to establish SG blowdown to restore the affected SG level to 0 inches. Which of the following is a correct action?

Assume all admin and radiological controls have been satisfied A. Direct the CRO to place the alarm in cutout to reopen the blowdown isolation cvs.

6. Direct the CRO to deenergize SG blowdown tank rad monitor, R1-4014, to reopen the blowdown isolation CVs.

C. Direct the CRO to bypass RIC-4014 using the Alarm Bypass Key Lock Switches.

D. Direct the CRO to place the blowdown isolation CVs in RAD TRIP OVERRIDE.

Answer: D Answer Explanation:

Direct the CRO to place the alarm in cutout to reopen the blowdown isolation CVs.- Is Incorrect. The alarm cutout pushbutton on 1C22 will silence the alarm and allow the master RMS alarm to clear but will not allow the CVs to open.

Direct the CRO to deenergize SG blowdown tank rad monitor, R1-4014, to reopen the blowdown isolation CVs.-- Is Incorrect. This would cause the blowdown CVs to go shut.

Direct the CRO to bypass RIC-4014 using the Alarm Bypass Key Lock Switches--

Incorrect RI-4014 does not have Alarm Bypass Key Lock Switches, RIC-4095 (

Blowdown Recovery Monitor) has Alarm Bypass Key Lock Switches.

Direct the CRO to place the blowdown isolation CVs in RAD TRIP OVERRIDE.-- IS Correct, the RAD TRIP OVERRIDE H/S will allow you to open the S/G bottom blowdown CVs and place blowdown in service.

This question requires knowledge of the RMS system for S/G blowdown and blowdown recovery including the auto actions associated with RI-4014 and 4095 and the means provided for controlling S/G level with an RMS alarm.
