Answer: B Answer Explanation:
A. CRO reports:7aking alternate actions for Core and RCS heat removal Safety Function, manually opening TBVs and initiating AFW flow.RO reports : "Taking alternate actions for RCS Pressure and Inventory Control Safety Function, starting manually operating pressurizer heaters"-- Is Not correct, since RCS pressure has stabilized between 1850 and 2300 PSIA, and AFW flow is not required.

EXAMINATION ANSWER KEY CCNPP 2008 NRC SRO Exam B. CRO reports:"Taking alternate actions for Core and RCS heat removal Safety Function, manually opening the TBVs". RO reports: "Taking alternate actions for RCS Pressure and Inventory Control Safety Function, starting 12 Charging pump"-- Is correct since the TBVs have not restored Tcold and S/G pressure, and pressurizer level is not being restored by the current charging configuration.
C . CRO reports:"Taking alternate actions for Core and RCS Heat Removal Safety Function, opening TBVs 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. Pressurizer pressure is stable at 1900 PSlA so the PPCS has restored RCS pressure so no action is required.

D. Operate the ADVs to maintain Tcold at current value.
Answer: D Answer Explanation:
A. Operate the TBVs to restore Tcold to between 525°F and 535°F. -- Is Incorrect, MSlVs should be shut for this condition so TBVs would not be useful, and based on the indications an excess steam demand event which has been terminated by the SGlS has occurred . Per the current guidance in EOP-0 and EOP-0 Basis document for step 1.4, Tcold should not be restored to the normal EOP-0 band.
B. Operate the ADVs to restore Tcold to between 525°F and 535°F-- Is Incorrect--
since based on the indications an excess steam demand event which has been terminated by the SGlS has occurred . Per the current guidance Tcold should not be restored to the normal EOP-0 band.
C. Operate the TBVs to maintain Tcold at current value.-- Is Incorrect, MSlVs should be shut for this condition so TBVs would not be useful.
D. Operate the ADVs to maintain Tcold at current value.- Is correct, Per the current guidance in EOP-0 and EOP-0 Basis document for step 1.4, Tcold should not be restored to the normal EOP-0 band.
OPERATIONS Page: 5 o f 5 1 22 July 2008
EXAMINATION ANSWER KEY CCNPP 2008 NRC SRO Exam Candidates should be able to interpret from the conditions given that an SGlS occurred that isolated the excess steam demand since 11 SG Pressure is currently less than the SGlS setpoint and rising and containment pressure is 0 psig. The steps to stabilize Tcold at current value if a SGlS has actuated was added following an event at CCNPP described in LER 318/2004-01 Reactor Trip and two SlAS actuations. This step was added to ensure that TCold is stabilized to reduce the effects of an in-surge of relatively cold water into the pressurizer which could compress the steam bubble and raise RCS pressure above the saturation temperature of the pressurizer water volume, which could lead operators to believe that Safety Injection can be reset. In fact when the transient conditions caused by the insurge stabilizes, pressurizer pressure will return to the saturation pressure for the current pressurizer temperature which can lead to an inadvertent SlAS Question Type: Multiple Choice Status: Active Always select on test?

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, 0-WGS-2191-PCV to prevent lifintg the Waste Gas Discharge Relief Valve.
C. (1) Shuts waste gas discharge header flow control valve, 0-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: 3 Answer Explanation:
Per alarm actions for D-1.1 0-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 IC-22 Window D-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-Rl-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, 0-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.

Gaseous Radwaste determine and interpret the 4 Release/S following as they apply to the Accidental Gaseous liadwaste: The effects on the p o w r plant o f isolating a given radioactive gas leak KIA Match analysis - The KIA addresses the effect on the power plant of isolating a given radioactive gas release.
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. Main Steamline B. Main Vent Gaseous C. Containment D. Wide Range Noble Gas Answer: C Answer Explanation:
EOP -0 Step G, for Verifying the radiation levels external to containment lists 4 monitors to check, Wide Range Noble Gas, Condenser Offgas, SIG BD, and Main Vent Gaseous.
of these the only ones that require alternate actions are the , Condenser off-gas or S/G Blowdown, which require securing blowdown. Under Step F for verifying the containment environment safety function, containment radiation monitor alarm is checked and if a valid containment radiation monitor is in alarm, then alternate actions are required to start all available iodine filter fans.
C. Containment is the correct answer A. Main steam line radiation monitor could be picked by a candidate who associates MS rad monitor with SIG blowdown as indication of S/G tube leakage.

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. HPSI 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 < 50°F B. HPSl and LPSl flow appropriate for current RCS pressure AND Thot - 405°F - Correct would give < 50°F superheat (Sat temp for 150 PSlA = 358.4"F)
C. 388°F would provide < 50°F but the question asked the minimum conditions to give <

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 3.3.6 2 need to restore one to operable within 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br />.
A. (a,) A trip of 2 of the remaining in service High Pressurizer pressure bistables is required to cause a Reactor Trip. . (b.)Within 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> of declaring PT-102B inoperable, the affected RPS bistables applicable to PT-102B are tripped if unable to restore to operable status.--Is Incorrect, since with one trip unit bypassed, when the second trip unit trips due to the sensor ( 1PI-I 02D) failing high you only need one more of the remaining two in service bistables to trip to cause a reactor trip.
B. (a,) A trip of 1 of the remaining in service High Pressurizer pressure bistable will cause a Reactor Trip. (b.) Within 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> of declaring PT-102D inoperable, restore either PT-102B or PT-102D to operable status and maintain the RPS functional bistables associated with the remaining PT out of service.-- 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.
C. (a,) A trip of 1 of the remaining in service High Pressurizer pressure bistable will cause a Reactor Trip. . (b.) Within 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> of declaring PT-I 02D inoperable, bypass the affected RPS bistables associated with PT-1O2D and then remove the bypass keys from the functional RPS bist,ables affected by PT-102D to trip them.-- Is Incorrect since you cannot bypas two channels of the same bistable.

C. (a,) Shift Manager, (b.) Yes, one UNIT 1 EDG will be inoperable D. (a) GS, Shift Operations, (b.)Yes, one Containment Radiation Sensor module is inoperable.
Answer: B Answer Explanation:
01-34 specifically requires the on shift SM permission to deenergize an ESFAS sensor cabinet. The GS Shift Operations could not grant this permission. With RV level at 43' candidate should interpret this to determine that fuel shuffle is not in progress. With No fuel movement in progress, CRS is not required to be operable. Both A & D are plausible if the candidate has the misconception that a GS of Shift operations could grant this permission. Also they are plausible since ESFAS operability is required for Modes 1-3 only, but CRS is required for Mode 6 moving fuel A & D are incorrect per 01-34 appendix A step A . l requires SM approval C.

(a,) failure of CSAS Channel B to actuate, (b) Open one( ) Containment Spray cv D. (a,) failure of SGlS Channel A to actuate, (b.) Shut one(1 Main Feed Isolation Valve Answer: B Answer Explanation:
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.

Glven the following conditions:
0 Unit 1 is in Mode 6 Fuel Handling is in progress Containment Purge is in operation to reduce noble gas activity below ALARA Dose Goals.
RI-5316A (Containment Area 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 Rlsk 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 Rl-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-1-117 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 A I he should determine that for the third bullet incorrect performance could lead to an ESF actuation and therefor leads him to section 2 for high risk assessment. On Page 7 of attachment 2 A I , 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 Rlsk is affected due to the potential for terminating a release associated with the containment purge.
Medium Rlsk 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-1-117 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-1-117 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 I )
OPERATIONS Page: 32 of 51 22 July 2008
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.

-- 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 c v s.
B. 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 olowdown 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 IC22 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 tI/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.

A. Containment pressure rises Ito 2 PSIG--incorrect, containment pressure will change, but experience indicates, the change will be less than .5 PSIG.
B.Area radiation monitors (RE-5316A-D) indicate higher--incorrect, the area monitors would not change if Purge is lost.
C. Refueling pool level increases--Incorrect The Main Exhaust Fan tripping would cause Containment Purge to secure. This would cause containment pressure to rise slightly, with the transfer tube gate valve open, refueling pool level will decrease (Not increase) accordingly due to the differential pressure between the SFP area and containment.(SFP is maintained at a slight negative pressure)
D. Refueling pool level increases--Is Correct. The Main Exhaust Fan tripping would cause Containment Purge to secure. This would cause containment pressure to rise slightly, with the transfer tube gate vaHve open, refueling pool level will decrease accordingly due to the differential pressure between the SFP area and containment, (SFP is maintained at a slight negative pressure)Continue refueling operations since no loss of RFP level.
per 01-36 general precaution F. The Main Exhaust Fan tripping would cause Containment Purge to secure which would cause a change in the differential pressure between the SFP and the RFP

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 exists:
- 1. Pressurizer pressure is1724 PSIA and lowering
- 2. RCS Tcold is 530°F and steady
- 3. S/G Press is -880 PSlG in both S/Gs
- 4. Pressurizer level is 185 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 B. TRIP 11B & 12B RCPs to minimize coolant inventory loss from the RCS C. 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 Step 1V.E. The EOP basis says that the RCP trip strategy ensures RCPs are secured for a sinall break LOCA (the hot leg case being inore 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 I735 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 (2 I B 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 149 22 July 2008

- 1. Pressurizer level is 195" and slowly lowering
- 2. RCS Tavg is 570°F and steady
- 3. 21 & 22 CHG pumps are operating
- 4. Letdown is at minimum
- 5. Pressurizer pressure is 2100 PSlA and slowly lowering The appropriate AOP was entered, and then ia reactor trip was manually initiated and EOP-0 was entered. The appropriate optimal EOP has been entered and now the following conditions exist:
- 1. 21 SG Level is - 115"and steady
- 2. 22 S/G level is - 90" and steady
- 3. 23 AFW pump is operating, feeding both S/Gs

- 5. 21 & 23 HPSl pumps are running
- 6. Tcold is 526°F and steady
- 7. S/G Blowdown and Main Steam N-16 radiation Monitors are reading normal Which of the following is correct based on the conditions listed above A. Heat removal is adequate based on 22 S/G level only B. 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, B, D are incorrect since neither S/G has enough inventory, both 21 and 22 S/G levels are below the top of the tube bundle (-72"). Per the EOP-5 basis for Step IV. L on page 45. the safety analysis for small break LOCA assumes the S/G tubes are covered during recovery to permit adequate HPSI flow. See 01 12A Figure 3.
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 ii 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 SIG 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 SIG secondary side.

- RCS Temperature is 180°F 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.
B. 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: B 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 I?CS pressure needs to be reduced to less than 170 PSIA to use the CS pumps. Slnce 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.
B. 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. Slnce 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. 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-energizing the RPS Matrix Relays.
Answer: B 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 CNT'MT 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 occured B. A steam line rupture on 12 S;/Ghas occured C. A condensate header rupture has occured 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 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 SIG 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 rerrioval, 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 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.

EXAMINATION ANSWER KEY CCNPP 2008 NRC RO EXAM C.A condensate header rupture has occurred. Is Incorrect. 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 SIGs.
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. The temperature increase will cause subcooling to lower.

EXAMINATION ANSWER KEY CCNPP 2008 PJRC 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 leakhupture 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.

A. Protect the Turbine/Generator from damage due to the loss of Service Water cooling
- 6. 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 7 D basis Step VA, B is the correct aiiswei The FRVs fail as is at 40 psig. This would prevent SiG level control The 50 PSIG trip value was chosen to cnable FRV's and 'TBVs response post trip. Tlie 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 SO PSIG we have not completely loss IA the SRW turbine building isolation wives will be open.
C is incorrect since the Containment CC\N valves are 50% open at 40 PSIG which supplies suftkierit tlow. Per AOP7D these valves do not go full shut until yoti get to 13 psig 1A pressure.
The steps for addressing the effects of loss of CCW are in tlic section for Modes 3,4, 5 , 6.

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, TavglTref alarm and abnormal SIG 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 Tavg/Tref alarm and the High Power demand reset alarm, an excess steam deman'd is causing overcooling of the RCS, increasing reactor power, and since Tcold has reached the trip criteria, a reactor trip should be initiated.

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 which limits are more conservative than the lncore detectors
- 6. AS1 is monitored using Excore Nls because the DAS must be declared inoperable under these conditions C. AS1 is monitored using Incore N l s because the Excore detectors are not reliable under these conditions D. AS1 is monitored using lncore Nls which limits are more conservative than the excore detectors Answer: A Answer Explanation:
Per AOP 1B Basis for step VI.C1. 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 which 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 pel- AOP IB 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.

EXAMINATION ANSWER KEY CCNPP 2008 NRC RO EXAM 22 ID: Q50266R Points: 1.00 Unit 1 is at I O T 6% power conducting a SIU after a shutdown to repair a steam leak. Which of the following correctly describes the response of Wide Range Channel A outputs on IC05 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 % power will remain the same.
C. Wide Range % power 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 . I CPS to 200 % power. The displays on I C 0 5 indicate Source range counts per second (CPS) on the left side of the indicator and % 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 & o/o 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 O h 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 % power indication will not be affected by small changes in high voltage.

A. A piece of wire from the refueling machine drops into the Refueling Pool B. A new fuel assembly is dropped during insertion in the Spent Fuel Pool C. Dropping the dry transfer Cask in the Auxiliary Building on its way to the Spent Fuel Pool.
D. A new fuel assembly is dropped in the New Fuel Storage Area Answer: B Answer Explanation:
A. A piece of wire from the refueling machine drops into the Refueling Pool.-- Is not correct, per AOP6D basis an item such as a piece of wire falls the AOP is not entered, the wire is retrieved but the AOp nor the ERPIP are entered for this incident.
B. A new fuel assembly is dropped during insertion in the Spent Fuel Pool --Is correct.since the dropped fuel assembly has the potential to damage irradiated fuel in the Spent Fuel pool.
C. Dropping the dry transfer Cask in the Auxiliary Building on its way to the Spent Fuel Pool.-- Is Incorrect, Since the dry Transfer Cask would not have a fuel assembly in it at this time, per the AOP 6D basis , although it is heavy , since it does not have a fuel assembly in it it is not classified as a Fuel Handling incident, the response will be per the AOP of any system that is damaged.
D. A new fuel assembly is dropped in the New Fuel Storage Area-- Is Incorrect. Per AOPGD, if a new fuel assembly is damaged in the New Fuel Storage area, and only Alpha being a concern, a Fuel Handling Incident has not occurred.

The appropriate AOP was entered, the reactor was manually tripped and the appropriate EOP has been entered. At 100% Power the following indications were noted:
11 S/G Pressure 860 PSlA 12 S/G Pressure 860 PSlA Calculated leakage 60 GPM 11 S/G has been isolated and the RCS cooled down to 500°F. Due to problems with the TBVs the temperature is holding at 500" F.
Per the applicable optimal recovery procedure the pressure differential between RCS and the S/G should be minimized. Approximately what pressure does the RCS need to be depressurized to reduce the leak rate to 25 GPM?
A. 1261 PSlA B. 1252 PSlA C. 921 PSlA D. 901 PSlA Answer: C Answer Explanation:
m l = 60 GPM, m2 = 25 GPM Diff Press1 = 2250 PSI - 860 psi Diff Press 2 = desired RCS pressure - Sat press for 500°F A. 1261 is incorrect. This is answer you get if you do not take the square root of the pressure differential B. 1252 is incorrect. This is answer you get if you do not use square roots and use gauge instead of absolute pressure for S/G pressure ( 875 instead of 860)
C . 921 is correct D. 901 is what you get if you take the square roots of the flow rates and don't add the SG pressure to DP calculation and subtract 15 for absolute pressure.

A. AFW is supplying 11 SIG ONLY B. AFW is supplying 12 SIG ONLY C. AFW is isolated to 11 8, 121 S/Gs D. AFW is supplying 11 & 12 SIG Answer: D Answer Explanation:
AFAS start signal is initiated when EITHER S/G has two of its four wide range level transmitters sensing < -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 -170 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. 1400 GPM, open I-SI-653, HPSl HDR XCONN valve B. 1400 GPM, no additional actions required C. 690 GPM, open I-SI-653, HPSl HDR XCONN valve D. 690 GPM, no additional action required Answer: D Answer Explanation:
A. 1400 GPM, open I-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.
B. 1400 GPM, no additional actions required-- Is incorrect. since 14 4KV bus tripped on fault, 1B DIG will not repower the bus so only one HPSl pump will be running so flow will be 690 GPM.
C. 690 GPM, open I-SI-653, HPSl HDR XCONN valve -- Is Incorrect, the flow is correct but I-SI-653 is only opened if the flow is unacceptable, also since 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 I-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-Sl-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 IB 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 HFSI pump.

A. Reactor Power decreases ;and Radiation Monitor isolation, 1-CV-521-CV shuts
- 6. L/D HX CCW Diff Press High Alarm C. REGEN HX OUT TEMP HIGH Alarm D. RCS boron concentration decreases and reactor power increases Answer: A Answer Explanation:
Raising the output of the TIC to 100% will shut the TCV therefore causing temperature to rise which will cause boron to be sloughed which is a negative effect. However, temperature out of the letdown Ht Exchanger will rise and at 140°F 1-CV-521-CV will shut.

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 undervottage 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 CACscan be shifted to Fast Speed at the load contactor panel ONLY Asincorrect, 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, SIAS signal seals in per LD 76 sheet 11 D IS incorrect SlAS signal seals in per LD 76 Sheet 11 All of the answers require the candidate to be familiar with the logic sheets andlor 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 IC09 wheri containment environment is degraded.

(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 C\/s 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 C\/s 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.

B. Main Steam Line Radiation Monitor (RE-5421)
C. Main Vent Gaseous Monitor (RE-5415)
D. Condenser Off-Gas Radiation Monitor (RE-1 752A-D)
Answer: B Answer Explanation:
A. Wide Range Noble Gas Monitor (HIC-5415)--incorrect, monitors Main Vent stack.
B. Main Steam Line Radiation Monitor (RE-5421, 22)--correct per OM-98 sh 2.
C. Main Vent Gaseous Monitor (RE-!~415)--incorrect,monitorsMain Vent stack.
D. Condenser Off-Gas Radiation Monitor (RE-I 752A-D)--incorrect, these monitor the CAR suctions.
It is plausible for a candidate to choose the wide range noble gas or main vent gaseous monitor since they both monitor the plant stack for releases during accident conditions.
Further, during the performance of EOP-0 Radiation Levels external to containment (RLEC), the main vent gaseous and the Wide Range Noble Gas monitors are both checked to determine that the RLEC safety function is satisfied. Since they are checked during RLEC, a candidate could have a misconception that since RLEC is based on various releases from the plant including ADVs, they may be used to monitor for releases from ADVs. Also, since the ADVs relieve to the Auxiliary building roof they may have the misconception that the releases could be picked up by the plant ventilation stack monitors.

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 TBL' 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 < 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 6.

A. Incorrect, suction pressure minimum for a single pump is 255 psig, no action required to raise suction pressure.
B. Incorrect - U-2 SGFP suction pressure minimum for single pump operation above 440 MWE is 255 psig per AOP-3G-2.
C. Correct - Maximum speed allowed for these plant conditions is 5100 RPM per AOP-3G-2 D. Incorrect- There is no specific guidance mandating BIAS setting reduction under these conditions. While BIAS setting of 4.8 - 5.0 is normal under 01-12A, you are allowed to adjust BIAS under transient conditions as necessary.

malfunctions or operations on the MFW; and (I>) based oil those predictions, use procedures to correct, con t ro I, or in i t iga t e the consequences of those malfunctions or operatioils: Tripping of MFW limp turbine K/A Match Analysis- The important aspects of this K/A 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 DumD trimina.

During plant stabilization a SlAS actuates due to low pressurizer pressure, and currently D/G 1B is loaded to 3630 KW.
Which of the following is correct for these conditions? (Assume NO operator actions)
A. GEN FLD LOSS REVERSE: PWR UNDER FREQ alarms AND the DIG output breaker trips.
B. 1B DG POT VOLT FREQ LO alarms due to low frequency C. 1B DG POT VOLT FREQ Li3 alarms due to low voltage D. 1B Diesel Generator ENGINE EXCTR SHUTDOWN alarms due to exciter shutdown.
Answer: B Answer Explanation:
B is correct per EOP-2 step IV.P.l and basis A, C, D not consistent with EOP 2 Basis, however action must be taken immediately to bring load less than 3600 KW A. GEN FLD LOSS REVERSE PWR UNDER FREQ alarms AND the D/G output breaker trips.. -- Incorrect, the output breaker will not trip on underfrequency because the DIG is running in emergency mode.
B. IB DG POT VOLT FREQ LO Alarrn due to low frequency- Correct, as the D/G is overloaded and running in the isynchronous mode, it will try to maintain load up to the limits of its fuel rack setting, then it will lower in speed and the low frequency alarm will come in.
C. 1B DG POT VOLT FREQ LO Alarm due to low voltage-- Is Incorrect, the DIG voltage regulator will maintain voltage at the setpoint. Since no operator action is taken to adjust voltage it will maintain voltage.
D.1B Diesel Generator ENGINE EXCTR SHUTDOWN alarm due to exciter shutdown-- Is incorrect, since the diesel will lower its speed, the frequency will lower but the exciter will maintain excitation so the exciter will not shutdown.

The Condenser Off-Gas (1-RE-1752), SIG 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 ouffdark.
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
- 6. Shut the Steam Generator 13lowdown Control Valves and report RLEC is complete C. Restart the sample pumps and re-evaluate the 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
- 6. 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 Distractors 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 carididate 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 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.
B. 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-I040 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.

EXAMINATION ANSWER KEY CCNPP 2008 NRC RO EXAM 62 ID: (250374 Points: 1.00 Unit 1 is operating at 50%, at End Of Cycle IEOC). A Turbine Bypass Valve (TBV) fails partially open which causes steam flow to increase 5%. In response to rising Rx power, the RO inserts Group 5 CEAs enough to reduce power 5%. With no further operator actions, which best describes the plant's response.
A. Reactor power will decrease temporarily then return to 50%, S/G Pressure will not change.
B. Reactor power will decrease to a new lower value, S/G pressure will not change.
C. Reactor power will decrease temporarily then return to 50%, S/G pressure will be lower.
D. Reactor power will increase to a new higher value, S/G pressure will be lower.
Answer: D Answer Explanation:
At End of Cycle, a - MTC will exist. Therefor when the TBV fails open Tcold will lower as well as steam generator pressure. Reactor Power will rise in direction proportion to the increase in steam flow caused by the TBV failing open ( 1 0%). When the operator inserts CEAS to lower power about 5%. This will result in power being higher than it was initially, and TCold will be lower since it will not return to its pre- event value.
A. Incorrect, Steam Demand dictates power level, STM flow increases means reactor power increases- Candidate may have a misconception that power will return to it pre-event value because he does not understand the relationship between steam demand and rx power, or he does not recall that a TBV is greater than 5 % power, or both.
B. Incorrect, at EOL steam demand increase means reactor power increase. Candidate may have a misconception that power will decrease to a lower value because he does not understand the relationship between steam demand and rx power, or does not recall that at EOC we have a - MTC and reactor' power will follow steam demand C. Incorrect,Reactor Power increases due to steam demand increase. Candidate may have a misconception that power will decrease to a lower value because he does not understand the relationship between steam demand and rx power, or does not recall that at EOC we have a - MTC and reactor power will follow steam demand, and that temperature will trend toward the direction of the mismatch between primary and secondary.
D. Correct, reactor power decreases due to CEA insertion, undershoots and due to -MTC, power returns to higher value .S/G Pressure is lower due to lower Tcold.

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 SIG levels.
- 6. Lower Feed Pump suction pressure will result. Verify a Condensate Booster pump automatically starts.
C. Cavitation and increased impellar 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:
A. 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.
- 6. Lower feed pump suction pressure will result. Verify a condensate booster pump automatically s t a r t s . 4 incorrect, suction pressure will lower, but not to the point where the standby CBP 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.-- is incorrect, power reduction is not required on loss of 1 condensate pump from 100°/o 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 D. 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.

EXAMINATION ANSWER KEY CCNPP 2008 WRC RO EXAM 73 ID: Q50390 Points: 1.00 Unit-I Waste Processing Ventilation Radiation Monitor (I-RE-5410) is in alarm. All other RMS indications remain normal.
Which of the following is the correct cause?
A. A fuel handling event in the spent fuel pool B. Elevated dose rates in the EICCS 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.ls 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 would only increase if SDC leakage were present.
Leakage from a Waste Gas Compressor--incorrect, Main Vent and Waste Gas Equipment Roorn area monitors would indicate this location for leakage.
