QUESTION 1

Unit 1 plant conditions are as follows:

0 50% power 0

65% total core flow on recorder XR-042-1 R613 1 B Reactor Recirc pump trips.

New plant conditions are:

0 39% total core flow on recorder XR-042-1 R613 0

1A Reactor Recirc speed at 57%

0 Core Plate dp 1.5 psid on recorder XR-042-1 R613 Assume no operator actions are taken.

WHICH ONE of the following identifies the core power level and recirculation flow configuration one minute later?

A.

40% power; idle loop flow is in the reverse direction B.

40% power; idle loop flow is in the forward direction C.

37% power; idle loop flow is in the reverse direction D.

37% power; idle loop flow is in the forward direction

K&A #

295001 Partial or Complete Loss of Core flow Importance Rating 3.3 QUESTION 1 K&A Statement:

K1.02 - Knowledge of the operational implications of power to flow distribution as it applies to PARTIAL OR COMPLETE LOSS OF FORCED CORE FLOW CIRCULATION Justification:

A.

Incorrect but plausible. Idle loop flow is always subtracted, but for recirc pump speed less than 6O%, actual flow is forward through the jet pumps. Since actual flow is forward, to determine actual total core flow, the flow through the idle loop should not be subtracted. The correct reactor power is therefore determined based on core dp measurement. This choice provides the correct power level; however, the basis for the answer is incorrect.

B.

Correct - Total core power is determined based on core dp and rodline. Actual idle loop flow is forward through the jet pumps when the operating recirc pump is less than 60% speed.

C.

Incorrect but plausible if the applicant does not understand that indicated flow is less than actual flow when in single loop operalion with the recirc pump speed less than 60%. Using indicated flow instead of core dp results in underpredicting actual core power.

D.

Incorrect but plausible if applicant does not understand indicated flow is less than actual flow, but understands flow is forward in the idle loop.

QUESTION 4

A Unit 2 GP-3 plant shutdown is in progress in preparation for a refueling outage with the following conditions:

0 Reactor power reduced from 48% to 18% over the last 30 minutes 0

"2A" and "28" Reactor Feed Pumps are in service 0

"2C" Reactor Feed Pump is in STANDBY 0

The Main Turbine is about to be removed from service per step 3.1.33 of GP-3 Immediately after the Main Turbine is tripped, the "28" Reactor Feed Pump trips.

WHICH ONE of the following describes the expected plant response over the next 15 minutes and the basis for this response?

Reactor Power Response Basis for Response A.

Lowers to a new stable value Change in xenon concentration B.

Lowers to a new stable value Change in recirc pump speed C.

K&A #

295005 Main Turbine Generator Trip Importance Rating 3.8 QUESTION 4 K&A Statement:

Justification:

A.

K2.01 - Knowledge of the interrelations between MAIN TURBINE GENERATOR TRIP and Feedwater temperature Incorrect but plausible. Xenon would initially build in due to the power decrease resulting in further reducing reactor power. Incorrect because xenon is not decaying at this point. Plausible distractor because xenon is a poison and will cause power to change depending on if it is building in or burning out. The applicant needs to understand the characteristics of xenon during power changes.

B.

Incorrect but plausible since recirc runbacks do occur on feed pump trips. However at 18% power the recirc pumps would already be at min speed.

C.

Correct - Following a turbine trip, a loss of extraction steam to the feedwater heaters would lower feedwater temperature. FW temperature lowering would add positive reactivity to the core.

D.

Incorrect but plausible. Expect RPV pressure to change slightly when removing the turbine from service. Several minutes after turbine is tripped pressure should return to normal based on BPVs taking steam loads.

295016 Control Room Abandonment Importance Rating 4.1 QUESTION 6 K&A Statement:

Justification:

A.

A3.01-Knowledge of the reasons for Reactor SCRAM as it applies to CONTROL ROOM ABANDONMENT Incorrect - HPCl is only used with SE-10 and is not applicable for this condition.

B.

Correct - RClC is used for inventory makeup per SE-1. Scramming the reactor reduces the inventory loss by reducing the heat load.

C.

Incorrect - Accidents are not within the scope of SE-1. Plausible if applicant thinks that accident conditions should be considered as part of remote shutdown.

295026 Suppression Pool High Water Temperature Importance Rating 3.9 QUESTION 13 K&A Statement:

Al.03 - Ability to operate and/or monitor temperature monitoring as it applies to Suppression Pool High Water Temperature.

Justification:

A.

Incorrect but plausible if applicant doesnt recognize that entry into T-I 02 is based on the average suppression pool temperature reaching 95OF versus the highest individual temperature indication AND is unaware of exception during testing which allows heat to be added to the Suppression Pool until the maximum average Suppression Pool temperature approaches 105OF.

6.

Incorrect but plausible if the applicant is unaware of exception during testing which allows heat to be added to the Suppression Pool until the maximum average Suppression Pool temperature approaches 105°F.

C.

Incorrect but plausible if applicant doesnt recognize that entry into T-102 is based on the average suppression pool temperature reaching 95OF versus the highest individual temperature indication AND is unaware of the exception during testing which allows heat to be added to the Suppression Pool until the maximum average Suppression Pool temperature approaches 105°F.

D.

Correct - Average Suppression Pool Temperature is below 95OF, therefore entry into T-102 is not required yet. An approved Tech Spec exception allows maximum Suppression Pool Temperature to be increased from 95°F to 105°F during testing which adds heat to the Suppression Chamber.

295028 High Drywell Temperature Importance Rating 3.6 QUESTION 14 K&A Statement:

Justification:

A.

K2.03 - Knowledge of interrelations between HIGH DRYWELL TEMPERATURE and Reactor water level indication Incorrect but plausible. NR level is non-density compensated and is calibrated for 1045 psig PRV pressure and 135 F drywell temperature. Plausible that indicated is less than actual if applicant assumes the increased variable leg density at 1045 psig RPV pressure has de-calibrated the instrument, since lower density water column on the variable leg will lower the indicated level.

6.

Incorrect but plausible. NR level is non-density compensated and is calibrated for 1045 psig PRV pressure and 135 F drywell temperature. Plausible, and correct, that indicated level will trend away from actual level if drywell temperature continues to rise.

C.

Incorrect but plausible. NR level is no-density compensated and is calibrated for 1045 psig RPV pressure and 135 F drywell temperature. Plausible that indicated level is greater than actual level is applicant assumes instrument was at calibrated conditions prior to the drywell temperature increase to 135 F.

D.

Correct. NR level is non-density compensated and is calibrated for 1045 psig PRV pressure and 135 F drywell temperature. NT indicated level will be greater than and trend away from actual level as drywell temperature continues to increase beyond the instrument calibration value of 135 F because density of the reference leg will decrease as it heats up, reducing the reference leg pressure on the d/p sensor.

K2.03-Knowledge of the interrelations between SCRAM Condition Present and Reactor Power Above APRM Downscale or Unknown and ARI/RPT/ATWS Justification:

A.

Incorrect The I&C surveillance has caused a half scram on Channel B. Per E-1AY160 there has been a loss of 1A RPS UPS power. There should have been a FULL SCRAM. Plausible if applicant does not associate response to loss of 1AY160 with SCRAM on A side and/or does not recognize that ATWS takes precedence over TECW.

B.

Incorrect - Loss of 1AY160 will not affect CRD Flow Controllers (E-IAYIGO Section 1.O). Plausible if some other power supply is assumed lost or if associates with RECW/RWCU isolations.

C.

Incorrect but plausible if the applicant does not know that Feedwater has its own, separate UPS.

D.

Correct The I&C surveillance has caused a half scram on Channel B. Per E-1AY160 there has been a loss of 1A RPS UPS power. There should have been a FULL SCRAM. With the reactor at 100% power and with the operator completing applicable portions of OT-I 17, the Mode Switch should be in SHUTDOWN and actions of T-101 in progress. With NO scram functions working, the next appropriate action (directed in T-101) is to manually initiate ARI.

A.

Incorrect. RHR Pump 1A will not restart on restoration of bus voltage. Pool temperature will increase due to loss of cooling flow. Plausible if applicant thinks diesel will re-energize the bus before loads are shed on undervoltage.

B.

Incorrect. RHR Pump 1A will not restart on restoration of bus voltage. Pool temperature will increase due to loss of cooling flow. Plausible if applicant thinks diesel will re-energize the bus before loads are shed on undervoltage.

C.

Correct. The 101 Safeguards Transformer ground overcurrent fault will trip the Dlx-101 breakers, de-energizing D11 thru D34 Buses. D11 Diesel Generator is ready to load so its output breaker will automatically close onto the D11 Bus after bus voltage has decayed to < 40%. Dll-201 will not close because D11 Bus voltage will be restored before the 1 second transfer closure interlock time delay elapses. RHR Pump 1A will shed on the initial bus undervoltage and will not auto start upon bus voltage restoration.

D.

Incorrect. D11-201 has a 1 second time delay following bus undervoltage before it will close. D11 Diesel Generator output breaker has a shorter 0.5 second time delay. The diesel will re-energize the bus before the closure interlock is satisfied on D11-201 Breaker.

C.

D.

Incorrect but plausible since on a loss of the AFIOO buses the FWLCS will transfer to the Manual Speed Controller. However, rather than RRP runback to 42% speed, a RRP runback to 28% speed should have occurred due to the loss of the AFlOO buses.

Incorrect but plausible if the applicant doesnt know that control has transferred to the MSC on failure of the AFIOO buses. Also the applicant may believe that only the conditions for a runback to 42% RRP speed is required.

Correct - As the result of loss of both AFlOO buses RFP control transfers to the Manual Speed Controller (MSC). Also, as a result of a loss of both AFIOO buses, the RRP should have runback to 28% speed.

Incorrect but plausible if the applicant doesnt know that control is transferred to the MSC on failure of the AFIOO buses.

K1.02 - Knowledge of the operational implications of Radiation releases as it applies to HIGH SECONDARY CONTAINMENT TE M PERATU RE.

Justification:

A.

Incorrect but plausible since normally HV-55-FO03 HPCI Steam Line Outboard Isolation Valve would close on high room temperature. However, the signal for closing HV-55-FO03 is powered from Div 2.

6.

Incorrect but plausible since the Steam Flooding Isolation Dampers normally close on a high d/P signal. However, with the loss of Div 1 and Div 2 the solenoids to the actuating arm will be de-energized. These solenoids need to energize to release the actuating arm for the dampers.

C.

Incorrect but plausible since most all of the dampers associated with the RE HVAC system close on a loss of DC power. However, the solenoids associated with the Steam Flooding Isolation Dampers need to energize to release the actuating arm for the dampers.

D.

Correct - Conditions within the HPCl equipment room will continue to worsen. HV-155-FO03 receives its isolation signal from Div 2, which means with HV-55-1 F002 failed open, an unisolable leak path exists from the ruptured HPCl steam supply line into the HPCl Equipment Room. The RE HVAC system dampers are supplied by 125V DC from Div 1 and Div 2 and on a loss of power the exhaust and supply dampers would close. This would confine the steam and radiation within the RE HVAC and eventually would reach the North Stack through the filtered flowpath provided by the SGTS.

Incorrect. Plausible if applicant thinks that Unit 1 A/B monitors are downscale based on the alarm, which would not cause an isolation on Unit 1. Applicant may believe that Unit 2 would be affected due to venting condition.

D.

Correct. It only takes one HI-HI signal to isolate reactor enclosure HVAC. Reactor enclosure isolation is divided into two divisions. Each division controls one set of dampers. An isolation signal on either division will result in a full isolation of the reactor enclosure ventilation. Unit 2 reactor enclosure ventilation is separate from Unit 1. The isolation signal present is on Unit 1; therefore, Unit 2 ventilation is not affected.

Injection Mode Importance Rating 4.2 QUESTION 28 K&A Statement:

K4.01 - Knowledge of RHWLPCI: INJECTION MODE (PLANT SPECIFIC) design feature(s) and/or interlocks which provide for Automatic system initiation/ injection.

Incorrect but plausible since this would be the status of these valves if just high drywell pressure was an initiation signal.

Justification:

A.

B.

Incorrect but plausible if the applicant believes high drywell pressure was an initiation signal and that the signal only repositioned valves that rob flow from LPCl flowpath. Following this premise, the heat exchanger bypass and LPCl injection valve would not reposition until conditions were met for LPCl injection valve opening (i.e., 74 psid across injection valve).

C.

Incorrect but plausible if the applicant believes that high drywell pressure was an initiation signal and that the LPCl Injection valve opens immediately on an initiation signal.

D.

Correct - LPCl initiation needs either reactor level less than -1 29 OR Drywell pressure greater than 1.68 psig along with reactor pressure less than 455 psig and less than 74 psid across the 17 valve. At the current conditions, none of the valves would have repositioned yet.

K2.03 - Knowledge of the electrical power supplies to initiation logic KA match. HPCl initiation logic loses power. HPCl not able to trip on high level or start on low level. Applicant must realize loss of initiation logic will not trip the turbine under the given circumstances.

Justification :

A.

Incorrect but plausible. HPCl does not trip on loss of Div II DC. Plausible a failure low of the flow controller would decrease speed to -750 rpm. However, a loss of DC will close the governor valve, reducing speed to zero.

B.

Incorrect but plausible. Level would not increase because neither HPCl nor RClC is injecting. Plausible if applicant thinks HPCl flow controller not affected by loss of Div II DC.

C.

Correct - Div II provides HPCl initiation logic power. HPCl will have started post trip as expected on level decrease below Level 2 (-38.5 inches) based on a low level scram from full power at Level 3 (+12.5 inches) with loss of both reactor feedwater pumps. The subsequent loss of DC power to 2BD102, Division II distribution Panel will disable automatic HPCl initiation on low level, render HPCl turbine trips inoperable and remove control power from the HPCl flow controller, resulting in closure of the HPCl governor valve. RClC would be discharging through the break and not contributing to vessel inventory.

D.

Incorrect but plausible. HPCl does not trip on loss of Div 11 DC. Plausible if applicant thinks RClC is injecting.

K4.11 - Knowledge of HIGH PRESSURE COOLANT INJECTION design feature(s) andlor interlocks which provide for Turbine Speed Control.

Justification:

A.

Incorrect but plausible since if the applicant did not understand how a failure of this would effect the Turbine Speed Governor Controller. However, a low failure of the speed feedback signal would result in generating in an open signal to the HPCl Turbine Control Valve (TCV) and speed and flow to increase.

6.

Correct - The ramp generator overrides the flow controller during turbine startup to allow a controlled rate of acceleration. Once the ramp generator output exceeds the signal from the flow controller, the controller takes over and maintains control until the ramp generator is reset. The ramp generator is reset whenever the turbine stop valve is fully closed. With the ramp generator signal failed low, its output will never exceed the flow controller and will not reset.

C.

Incorrect but plausible since failure of the Auxiliary Oil pump would lead to no control oil getting to the TCV and the Turbine Stop Valve (TSV). However, since the initial conditions listed in the question state that the Turbine Stop Valve is open then this couldnt be the cause of the problem.

D.

Incorrect but plausible since the turbine trip solenoid valve energized would close both the turbine stop and turbine control valves.

Incorrect but plausible since this would be the approximate flow if either of the 1 B Loop pumps received power from the D13 bus and if applicant confuses the setpoint for the injection valves opening (455 psig) with the pump shutoff head (-330 psig),

then design flow could be reached at reactor pressure equal to 370 psig.

B.

Incorrect but plausible since this would be the approximate flow if both the 1 B Loop pumps were injecting into the vessel and if applicant confuses the setpoint for the injection valves opening (455 psig) with the shutoff head (-330 psig) then design flow could be reached at reactor pressure equal to 370 psig.

Justification:

A.

6.

C.

D.

NOTE: For this event, A SLC pumps squib valve opened but its discharge pressure is too low to inject info the reacfor vessel and C squib valve has lost continuity but the squib valve did not fire.

Incorrect but plausible since the SQUIB READY status lights for squib valves A and B are out which is one possible indication that boron is injecting. However, A SLC pump discharge pressure is below reactor pressure, so it is not injecting. For C SLC pump, although its continuity light is out, the high discharge pressure of 1405 psi would indicate that flow is not getting through C SLC injection line.

Incorrect. Plausible if applicant only used SQUIB READY status lights OFF as confirmation that all SLC pumps are injecting into the core. Also if the applicant did not recognize that with reactor pressure being controlled by SRVs that at a minimum SLC pressure must exceed the SRV lift setpoints (1 170 to 1 I90 psig).

Incorrect. Plausible since it is accurate for A SLC pump given that reactor pressure is greater than A SLC pump discharge pressure. Even though continuity light is out, A SLC pump would not be injecting. Also. applicant may confuse where reactor pressure is being controlled by SRVs. May believe that B SLC pump would not be injecting into the core as well. With only one pump injecting, this would be consistent with the level change observed on the SLC tank (See discussion below.).

Correct. Only B SLC pump is injecting into the core. Anormal pressures on A and C pumps. Volume change provides confirmation that only one pump is injecting.

The volume change over the five minute injection period is 215 gallons (3800 -

3585). Each pump is designed for 43 gpm. This indicates that only one SLC pump can be injecting into the vessel (i.e. 43 gpm x 5 min = 215 gallons.)

A4.04 - Knowledge of the effect that a loss or malfunction of REACTOR PROTECTION SYSTEM will have on RPS logic channels.

Justification:

A.

Incorrect RPS K14 relay is de-energized for Group AI and A4 control rods based on white light indication. Blown fuse on Group BI circuit results in venting of air from scram pilot valves for Group 1 control rods (45 rods SCRAM). Plausible if applicant does not recall the RPS logic or impact of blown fuse.

6.

Correct - In a coast-down all rods would be expected to be full out (position 48).

RPS K14 relay is de-energized for Group AI and A4 control rods based on white lights being extinguished. A side scram pilot valves have repositioned for control rod Groups 1 and 4. Blown fuse on Bl results in de-energizing Blre1ay. This repositions the second set of scram pilot valves on Group I control rods and vents air from Group 1 scram valves. Venting air from the scram valves results in scramming of Group 1 control rods. There are 45 rods in Group 1.

C.

Incorrect - RPS K14 relay is de-energized for Group AI and A4 and has repositioned A scram pilot valves for Group 1 control rods. Blow fuse on BI de-energizes BI relay only and results in repositioning of BI scram pilot valves.

Plausible if applicant does not understand that the blown fuse does not affect the B4 control rod circuitry (which would result in scram of 48 rods).

D.

Incorrect - RPS K14 relay is de-energized for Group AI and A4 control rods and has repositioned A side scram pilot valves Blow fuse.on BI de-energizes 81 relay only (45 rods insert). Plausible if applicant thinks both Group 1 and 4 SCRAM.

A I.08 -Ability to predict and/or monitor changes in parameters associated with operating the REACTOR PROTECTION SYSTEM including valve position.

Justification:

A.

Correct. Backup SCRAM valves are normally deenergized. Backup SCRAM valves energize to operate and reposition to vent the SCRAM air header. Since the SCRAM has not been reset, even though the SCRAM condition cleared, the valves would still be energized and venting.

B.

Incorrect. Back up SCRAM valves energize to close. Plausible if the applicant believes that the backup SCRAM valves are de-energize to reposition, similar to the SCRAM valves.

C.

Incorrect. Backup SCRAM valves are energize to operate. The backup SCRAM valves receive an initiation signal on the SCRAM and would reposition. Since the SCRAM has not been reset, even though the SCRAM condition cleared, the valves would still be energized and venting. Plausible if the applicant believes that once the scram condition has cleared the valves would return to their de-energized state.

D.

Incorrect. The backup SCRAM valves have received an initiation signal and would have energized and closed. Plausible if applicant believes that the valves are de-energize to operate.

21 5003 IRM Importance Rating 3.6 QUESTION 37 K&A Statement:

K3.02 - Knowledge of the effect that a loss or malfunction of the INTERMEDIATE RANGE MONITOR system will have on Reactor Manual Control.

Justification:

A.

Incorrect but plausible since this is true. However, it is not the only response to the event. Placing IRM B to Range 3 would raise the value by a factor of 3.16 (3.16 x 30 = 94). The new value of 94 would exceed the upscale setpoint of 85/125 for IRM B and a control rod block would be generated by RMCS.

8.

Incorrect but plausible since a rod block would occur and if the applicant believes with one IRM inop (IRM D) and that IRM B exceeded the scram setpoint (1201125) then a half-scram would be generated on RPS trip system B. However, with IRM D bypassed it is removed from the trip circuit and the new value of 94 would not reach the scram setpoint (1201125) for IRM 6. In addition, the two IRMs are on the same trip system.

C.

Incorrect but plausible since a rod block would occur and if the applicant believes with one IRM inop (IRM D) and that IRM B exceeded the scram setpoint (120/125) then a full -scram would be generated with a tripped detector one each RPS trip system the same. However, with IRM D bypassed it is removed from the trip circuit and the new value of 94 would not reach the scram setpoint (120/125) for IRM 6.

In addition, the two IRMs are on the same trip system.

D.

Correct - IRMD is bypassed. Therefore no trips or blocks will be generated from IRM D. IRM B will indicate 94 of 125 scale, which is greater than the 85/125 scale for a rod block signal generated by RMCS but less than the 120/125 scram signal generated by RPS.

A2.14 - Ability to (a) predict the impacts of Rupture disc failure:

Exhaust Diaphram on the REACTOR CORE ISOLATION COOLING SYSTEM; and (b) based on those predictions, use procedures to correct, control, or mitigate the consequences of those abnormal conditions or operations.

Justification:

A.

Incorrect Entry into the Fire Safe Shutdown Guides is only after a fire is confirmed by the Fire Brigade. Plausible if applicant does NOT associate the rupture disk with the fire alarm.

B.

Incorrect but plausible since a turbine trip will occur from Div 1 However there is no direction to reset the trip at this point.

C.

Incorrect but plausible. Entry into T-103 required due to initiation of steam leak detection (Div I),

however there is NO primary system discharging into secondary containment since the steam leak has been isolated by the closure of F008 and F076 (as well as Turbine Trip valve).

D.

Correct - On high equipment room temperature, Div 1 and Div 3 isolation signals are generated. The RCIC OUT OF SERVICE alarm should indicate an isolation has initiated. Div 1 closes F008 and F076; Div 3 closes F007. Since Div 3 power is lost, F007 failed to close automatically. Appropriate operator action, per Roles and Responsibilities is to complete the RClC system isolation by manually closing F007 from the control board. F007 is an AC powered motor operated valve.

K6.01 - Knowledge of the effect that a loss or malfunction of RHR/LPCI system pressure will have on the Automatic Depressurization System.

Justification:

A.

Incorrect. Level setpoint is satisfied but pump logic is not. Plausible if applicant thinks pump logic is satisfied.

B.

Incorrect. Bypass timer in combination with pump pressure switches cannot satisfy ADS requirements. Plausible if applicant thinks logic is satisfied by the drywell bypass timer and pump combination.

C.

Incorrect. The pump logic is not made up. Plausible if thinks logic is satisfied by 105 and 420 second timers and the pump combination.

D.

Correct - Div 3 initiation logic is inoperable with the loss of Div 3 125 VDC.

Therefore, only the inputs to the Div 1 initiation logic will result in automatic initiation of ADS. While the initiation logic inputs for High Drywell Pressure (+I.68 psig) Low Reactor Water Level (-129) and 105 second timer will be met; the inputs for low pressure pump availability will not. Div 1 initiation logic looks at the following combination of low pressure ECCS pumps:

RHR Pumps A or C running Core Spray Pump A running A Loop Core Spray, which consists of A and C Core Spray pumps, only indicates 140 psig. A Loop RHR/LPCI, which consists of A and C RHR pumps only indicates 15 psig. With these low pressures on Div 1 logic and the loss of Div 3 logic, the ADS valves will not receive an open signal.

259002 Rx Water Level Control Importance Rating 3.1 QUESTION 46 K&A Statement:

K5.03 - Knowledge of operational implications of Water level measurement as it applies to REACTOR WATER LEVEL CONTROL SYSTEM Justification:

A.

Correct - There are four narrow range level instruments (A, 6, C &D). All four signals are used to determine reactor level for control and for +54 trips. The system takes the four reactor water level inputs and checks for signal validity and then averages the valid ones. (I.E. The output is the average of the valid signals.) The system only provides a good output when there are 2 or more valid input signals. If there is only one valid input signal, a LEVEL SIGNAL FAILURE condition exists. For each level transmitter, a failure is defined as: a deviation of greater than 4 inches from the SMS output for 3 second OR a hardware failure, eg. Outside 4-20mA, on any sensing element used in the calculation. A failure results in an automatic bumpless disconnection of the signal from the soft majority selector. The detected error is annunciated as a trouble alarm in the MCR. More detailed alarm information is available at the operator work station. Bumpless reconnection of the repaired signal is performed automatically. If 3 out of 4 reactor level signals are in error, or if two errors occur simultaneously, a FWLC failure will occur.

B.

Incorrect but plausible if the applicant does NOT remember the required level instruments to initiate a high level trip.

C.

Incorrect but plausible if the applicant does NOT remember the required instruments to initiate a high level trip.

D.

Incorrect but plausible if the applicant does NOT remember the required instruments to initiate a high level trip.e

K1.02 - Knowledge of the physical connections and/or cause-effect relationships between DC ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM and Battery charger and battery.

Justification:

A.

Incorrect but plausible if the applicant did not understand how 125 VDC is generated on Div 2 using two battery banks. The second half of the answer is correct for the effect on 250 VDC.

B.

Incorrect but plausible if the applicant did not understand how the loss of a battery bank would effect the generation of 125 and 250 VDC on Div 2.

C.

Correct - The Div 2 DC system uses two battery banks / battery chargers to generate the 125 VDC and 250 VDC power supply. Output from one battery chargerlbattery bank feeds one terminal within the Div 2 DC Fuse Box. Output from the other battery charger/ battery bank feeds the other terminal of the fuse box.

Each battery bank/ charger generates 125 VDC. 250 VDC power is generated by tapping off each of these positive and negative 125 VDC strips, while 125 VDC power is generated by tapping off one or the other of the strips within the fuse box to a neutral leg. Loss of a battery bank and its associated charger will result in a loss of power to one of the strips. Those 125 volt DC loads tapping off the terminal fed by the faulted battery will lose power and all the 250 VDC loads would be supplied at only 125 volts.

D.

Incorrect but plausible since the first half of the answer is correct concerning partial loss of 125 VDC loads and if the applicant did not understand how the 250 VDC signal is generated.

K1.01 - Knowledge of the physical connections and/or cause-effect relationships between Control Rod Drive and Mechanism System and Control Rod Drive Hydraulics,System.

Justification:

A.

Incorrect but plausible if the applicant doesnt know which direction the flow control valve fails. Also, failure of the valve will result in a low flow / high pressure condition on the discharge of the CRD pumps.

B.

Correct - Flow control valve will close (-20% open with mechanical gag) on loss of air. With the Drive Water Pressure Control Valve, F003 throttled to maintain Drive Water pressure higher than reactor pressure, the already limited flow (0.2 - 0.3 gpm) providing cooling flow to each CRD mechanism will become more restricted and CRD mechanism temperatures will increase.

C.

lncorrect but piausible if the applicant doesnt know which direction the flow control valve fails.

D.

Incorrect. Drive header pressure is maintained because the flow control valve cannot fully close (-20% open). If applicant thinks valve fully closes, then the applicant will logically conclude drive water dlp goes to zero.

202001 Recirculation Importance Rating 3.5 QUESTION 55 K&A Statement:

Justification:

A.

K6.01 - Knowledge of the effect that a loss or malfunction of Jet Pumps will have on the Recirculation System Incorrect. Core power decreases on a jet pump failure. Indicated core flow will rise due to the addition of reverse flow through the failed jet pump. Plausible if applicant uses the fact that indicated flow increases and an increase in total core flow would cause power to increase.

B.

Incorrect. Core power decreases on a jet pump failure. The recirc drive flow in the loop containing the failed jet pump will increase due to the decrease of flow resistance; however, total core flow decreases causing a decrease in core power.

C.

Correct - Indicated dp on the jet pump sharing the riser with the failed jet pump decreases. The dp will drop due to the preferential flow of drive water out the failed jet pump. Actual total core flow decreases, causing a decrease in reactor power.

D.

Incorrect. Loop B drive flow will not change. Actual power increases. Plausible if applicant does not remember that loop A discharges through jet pump 14 or believes that drive flow will increase in the unaffected loop.

202002 Recirculation Flow Control Importance Rating 3.3 QUESTION 56 K&A Statement:

Justification:

A.

A4.01 - Ability to manually operate and/or monitor the control room: MG sets Incorrect. After 30 seconds the speed controller has reduced speed demand to approximately 20% and voltage would be approximately 805. Voltage increase does occur so answer is plausible if the applicant does not recall the settle speed of the MG set start sequence.

B.

Incorrect. After 30 seconds the speed controller has reduced speed demand to approximately 20%. Plausible since voltage is correct for the 20% settle speed.

C.

Incorrect. After 30 seconds the speed controller has reduced speed demand to approximately 20% and voltage would be approximately 805. Voltage increase does occur so answer is plausible if the applicant does not recall the voltage (805) associated with the settle speed.

D.

Correct - The speed demand is initially from the startup signal generator which positions the scoop tube between 35%-45?/0 speed to provide sufficient torque for breakaway MG set startup. After the Generator Field breaker closes, speed control transfers to the speed controller, which reduces speed demand to approximately 20%. Generator voltage increases when the field breaker closes and is controlled by the MG Set voltage regulator to maintain a 70V/Hz relationship. Six pole sync generator speed varies from 230 rpm to 1150 rpm depending on scoop tube controlled drive coupling. Voltage = (70V/Hz)*(N*P)/120, where N=gen spd in rpm, P=number of poles. Voltage approx equal to 805V at 20% min speed of 230 rpm.

K6.04 - Knowledge of the effect that a loss or malfunction of Primary Containment Isolation System will have on the TRAVERSING IN-CORE PROBE SYSTEM Justification:

A.

B.

C.

D.

Correct - A containment isolation signal is present, so TIP should automatically shift into reverse, withdraw detectors and close associated ball valves. 8 detector is stuck at the indexer, B TIP is not withdrawn into its shield and the ball valve will not automatically close. The shear valve requires operator action to close. Therefore for the given conditions, both valves remain open.

Note: The WA is matched since the TIP rnalfunction causes a PClS function to NOT be satisfied. That is, the ball valve cannot close with the TIP partially inserted.

The result is that the shear valve is the only action left. The author chose to NOT include manual action (to fire the shear valve) in the stem to avoid potentially conflicting answers.

Incorrect - The ball valve will not automatically close on the isolation signal if the TIP is not withdrawn into its shield during a containment isolation. Plausible if the applicant does not recall the interlock between the automatic closure of the ball valve and the TIP detector location or it the applicant thinks that the TIP detector being at the indexer will allow the ball valve to close.

Incorrect - The shear valve requires operator action to close. Plausible if the applicant thinks that under an isolation condition, the shear valve would receive an automatic signal.

Incorrect - The ball valve will not automatically close on an isolation signal if the TIP detector is not withdrawn into its shield. The shear valve requires operator action.

Plausible if the applicant thinks that the shear valve would receive an automatic signal to allow the ball valve to close on a containment isolation signal.

Justification:

A.

Incorrect SRMs A and D are operable. Fuel assembly 27-50 is located in the same quadrant as SRM A and is adjacent to SRM D.

B.

Correct -T.S. 3.9.2 requires two SRMs be operable; the SRM in the quadrant that the assembly is located and the adjacent SRM. Fuel assembly location 13-30 is in the same quadrant as SRM D and adjacent to SRM A.; therefore, this assembly can be lowered into the core. Fuel assembly location 47-14 is located in the same quadrant as SRM C; therefore this assembly cannot be lowered into the core and all core alterations must be immediately suspended prior to step #3.

C.

Incorrect - T.S. 3.9.2 requires two SRMs be operable for core alterations. All core alterations must be immediately suspended if...One of the required SRM detectors located in the quadrant where CORE ALTERATIONS are being performed and the other required SRM detector located in an adjacent quadrant is not operable. In this instance, fuel position 47-14 is in the same quadrant SRM C and would require suspension of core alterations prior to performing this fuel movement, since SRM C is inoperable.

D.

Incorrect but plausible if the applicant believed that as long as two SRMs were operable adequate coverage was provided. It would also seem reasonable, since removing fuel from the core would increase shutdown margin decreasing the likelihood of inadvertent criticality.

Justification:

A.

Incorrect. On Unit 2, the reactor feed pump turbines are supplied by the C main steam line. Plausible since on Unit 1, the reactor feed pump turbines are supplied by the 8 main steam line.

B.

Correct. On Unit 2, the condenser air removal system is supplied from the Main Steam system off of B MSL which would affect the Steam Jet Air Ejectors (,SJAE) and Steam Seal Evaporator (SSE). Loss of steam flow to the SJAEs would result in non-condensable gases building up in the condenser. The Turbine will trip when condenser vacuum degrades to 21 Hg Vac.

C.

Incorrect. Loss of steam flow to the SJAEs would result in non-condensable gases building up in the condenser. Loss of steam flow to the SJAEs would result in non-condensable gases building up in the condenser.

D.

Incorrect but plausible since on Unit 1 steam to the RFPTs is supplied from B MSL.

Loss of high pressure steam to the RFPTs could result in a tow reactor level condition because of inadequate low pressure steam supply pressure to the feed pump turbines at low main turbine power level. However, Unit 2 high pressure steam supply to the RFPTs is from C MSL.

Justification:

A.

B.

C.

D.

Incorrect but plausible if the applicant determines the instrument to be located at the 296 Elevation. Step 4.1.2.1 of RP-LG-460-105 states that Reactor Power Levels shall be maintained 3% or less for access to 296elevation. Also, step 4.9.4 states If access is required on 296 elevation or within 6 feet of bioshield penetrations on 277 (N1, N2, or N8), then USE the foliowing special precautions and radiological survey techniques:. One of the special precautions states IDENTIFY low dose area and ALLOW worker to stand in low dose area (Le., stairwell or outside of drywell) while radiation surveys are performed.

Incorrect but plausible if the applicant determines the instrument to be located at the 277 Elevation. Step 4.1.2.2 of RP-LG-460-105 states that Reactor Power Levels shall be maintained 7% or less for access to 277, 286, 303 or 31 3 elevations.

Also, step 4.9.4 states lf access is required on 296 elevation or within 6 feet of bioshield penetrations on 277(NI, N2, or N8), then USE the following special precautions and radiological survey techniques:. One of the special precautions states IDENTIFY low dose area and ALLOW worker to stand in low dose area (/.e.,

stairwell or outside of drywell) while radiation surveys are performed..

Incorrect but plausible if the applicant determines the instrument to be located at the 296 Elevation and doesnt read the other restriction concerning the establishment of a low dose area. See explanation in choice A.

Correct - The applicant must first determine the elevation Condensing Pot XY 1 D004A is located. Using M-42 Sheet 1, it can be determined that Condensing Pot XY 1D004A comes off RPV penetration N12 and that Vessel Zero is 266 3. Using Figure I:

Elevation Correlation Chart on M-42 Sheet 2, it can be determined that N12 is 599.0 above Vessel Zero, which would put the Condensing Pot on 313 Elev.

(266 3 + 599.0 = 266 3 + 49 11 = 316 2 or - 313).

Step 4.1.2.2 of RP-LG-460-105 states that Reactor Power Levels shall be maintained 7% or less for access to 277, 286, 303 or 313 elevations.

A.

Incorrect. "IN' Recirc Pump: Running; "1 B" Recirc Pump: Running, is not correct because neither Recirc Pump would be running due to RPT breakers for both pumps being tripped.

B.

Incorrect. lvlN1 Recirc Pump: Running; "1 6" Recirc Pump: Tripped, is not correct because the "IA" Recirc Pump would be tripped (not running).

C.

Incorrect. "IA" Recirc Pump: Tripped; "1B" Recirc Pump: Running, is not correct because the "1 B" Recirc Pump would be tripped (not running).

D.

Correct. RPT breaker logic will normally trip both RPTs when RPV level drops to -

38 inches. The RCIC System automatic start indicates that RPV level has reached -

38 inches. The loss of Division 2 DC will prevent one RPT breaker per Recirc Pump from tripping, but the other RPT breaker will trip. As a result, both Recirc Pumps will be tripped. Therefore, for the given plant conditions, "IA" Recirc Pump: Tripped; "1 B" Recirc Pump: Tripped, is the correct answer.

Justification:

A.

A2.05 - Ability to determine and/or interpret Reactor power as it applies to MAIN TURBINE GENERATOR TRIP.

In-Correct. Plausible if applicant believes Main Turbine, Main Shaft Oil Pump Discharge pressure dropping to 99 psig will not result in a turbine trip.

6.

Correct. A turbine trip occurs on low EHC pressure and results in a reactor scram and Reactor Recirculation Pump (RRP) trip if first stage pressure 2 190 psig power which correlates to a power level of 25%. Under the current conditions (i.e first stage pressure < 190 psig) the turbine will still trip. But instead of a reactor scram, reactor power will increase due to increased feedwater subcooling since feedwater heating is lost when extraction steam is isolated by the turbine trip.

C.

Incorrect. Plausible since a reactor scram is the expected response when power is above 25%. However, the 25% reactor power setting is based on a corresponding turbine first stage pressure of 190 psig. At a turbine first stage pressure of 186 psig, a reactor scram will not occur.

D.

Incorrect. Plausible since a RRP trip and reactor scram are expected responses when power is above 25%. However, the power level setting is based on a corresponding turbine first stage pressure of 190 psig. At a turbine first stage pressure of 186 psig, neither a reactor scram nor a RRP trip will occur.

Justification:

A.

G2.1.20- Ability to interpret and execute procedure steps as it relates to LOSS OF SHUTDOWN COOLING Incorrect. This is not a high priority with the plant shutdown. Plausible since a loss of RWCU will occur and recovery will be needed to assist with RCS level control.

5.

Incorrect. This is not a high priority with the plant shutdown. Plausible since a loss of RECW will occur.

c.

Incorrect. This is not a high priority with the plant shutdown. Plausible since both reactor recirculation pumps will receive a tripped signal (turbine is tripped).

D.

Correct. The stem conditions provide that Shutdown Cooling suction isolation valves have isolated (Loss of 1A RPS UPS POWER). Since there is no other viable decay heat removal method available then the first thing to address is the loss of Shutdown Cooling.

Justification:

A.

A2.03 - Ability to determine and/or interpret Suppression Pool Temperature as it applies to HIGH REACTOR PRESSURE.

Incorrect. EB is not directed by either PSP or HCTL and lowering pressure will allow you to maintain safe on the HCTL. Blowdown during an ATWS is a last-resort strategy. Plausible if applicant believes carmot maintain safe side of PSP or HCTL curves.

B.

Correct. Reducing RPV pressure to 900 psig maintains operation on the safe side of HCTL curve.

C.

Incorrect. Current conditions do not allow drywell spray per drywell spray initiation limit curve. Plausible because drywell temperature and pressure are high.

D.

Incorrect. T-102 does not direct the use of T-235 at this SP level. Plausible because at low limit for suppression pool level.

Justification:

G.2.4.18 - Knowledge of the specific bases for EOPs as it relates to LOW SUPPRESSION POOL LEVEL.

A.

B.

C.

D.

Correct - With SP level below 4.2 (4 2 %), decision step EB-9 directs the user to step EB-16 of T-112, Emergency Blowdown, directs using one of several flowpaths to depressurize the RPV. The Turbine Bypass Valves are one of the listed flowpaths. Below a depth of 4.2, the SRV tailpipes will become uncovered which will negate the quenching function of the SP and result in the direct pressurization of primary contain men t.

Incorrect but plausible. H2 / O2 concentrations meet the criteria for performance of T-102 DW/G-1 leg. Conditions have been met for inerting the Drywell with N2.

However, the actions to purge/inert the Drywell regardless of offsite release rate are associated with performance of T-102 DWIG-3 leg and H2 concentration isnt high enough (i.e., 5.99%) to warrant entry into DW/G-3. The basis is correct for the action to push the H2 / 02out of the Drywell space while maintaining an inert atmosphere.

Incorrect but plausible. If SP level is above 4.2 (4 2 %I),

step EB-9 directs the user to step to perform step EB-10 thru EB-12 to open ADS valves and quench the reactor discharge within the volume of the SP. However, the SP level is just below the limit where ADS valves are used to depressurize the reactor.

Incorrect but plausible since the H2 / O2 concentrations meet the criteria for performance of leg SP/G-1 of T-102. All conditions have been met for inerting the Suppression Pool with nitrogen. However, the actions to purgehnert the SP regardless of offsite release rate are associated with the performance of leg SPIG-3 of T-102 and H2 concentration isnt high enough (i.e., 5.99%) to warrant entry into the SP/G-3. The basis for the action to displace the H2 / 02from the SP vapor space with the inert nitrogen gas is correct.

295009 Low Reactor Water Level Importance Rating 4.0 QUESTION 83 K&A Statement:

Justification:

A.

G.2.4.6 - Knowledge of EOP mitigation strategies.

Incorrect. This action is taken ONLY if there is no ATWS. With three rods not full in and power level Range 7 on IRMs, ATWS conditions apply. Plausible if applicant does not follow path of ATWS leg of T-I 16.

8.

Correct. This is the action required since the containment conditions and RPV level indication are indicative of a loss of level indication. Level is unknown because level instrumentation is providing opposing readings. Entry into T-I 16 is required and the ATWS path is required. RPV flooding strategy is based on worst-case conditions that RPV level is low. This is the basis for the KA match of this question.

C.

Incorrect. This action requires knowledge of RPV level, which is not satisfied by stem conditions. Plausible if applicant does not identify ATWS condition and T-116 entry requirements.

D.

Incorrect. This action requires knowledge of RPV level, which is not satisfied by stem conditions. Plausible since this is an action in T-I 16 if an ATWS condition is present (which it is).

Isolation Importance Rating 4.6 QUESTION 84 K&A Statement:

Justification:

A.

G2.1.20 - Ability to interpret and execute procedure steps, as it relates to INADVERTENT CONTAINMENT ISOLATION Correct. GP8.4 allows a containment isolation signal to be bypassed as governed by TS 3.6.3. The TS requires maintaining an operable isolation in the line and isolation of the line within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> if the inoperable valve cannot be restored. Once the signal is bypassed, the valve may be opened for up to 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> from time of the inadvertent isolation.

B.

Incorrect. The valve may be opened but not because of the short time duration.

Plausible if applicant thinks the 10 minute maximum isolation time for trip of the recirc pumps and the reactor is the reason for why the valves may be re-opened.

c.

Incorrect. The isolation signal can be bypassed since HV-I 3-108 remains operable.

HV-13-108 is an isolation valve in series with HV-13-106. Tech Spec 3.6.3 allows HV-13-106 to be opened provided a second isolation valve in series remains operable. Plausible because TS 3.6.3 basis describes specific administrative controls for re-opening a valve that has been closed to meet TS 3.6.3. These controls are to station a person locally at the isolation valve that is used to isolate the line for the TS LCO Action Statement. The individual must be in constant communication with the control room. These administrative controls do not apply to HV-13-106 at this time because the valve is not yet being used to isolate the penetration to comply with action requirements.

D.

Incorrect. Under the specified conditions, the isolation signal can be bypassed to allow the valve to be opened under restrictions of TS 3.6.3. Plausible if applicant thinks signal bypass procedure requires signal reset.

Justification :

A.

Incorrect. Plausible since for higher RPV pressures (i.e., > 700 psig), Suppression Pool heat capacity is exceeded. However, Suppression Pool temperature is just below the Heat Capacity Temperature Limit (-1 80°F) at current SP temperature.

B.

Correct. The bases for step RC/L-4 "...that operating the HPCl and RCIC Systems with high suction temperatures (above 170°F) could result in equipment damage.

With Suppression Pool temperature above 1 70"F, HPCI pump damage is a concern HPCl must be stopped per T-I17 LQ-17.

C Incorrect but plausible since for higher RPV pressures (i.e., > 700 psig), the heat capacity of the Suppression Pool is exceeded. However, at the current RPV pressure, the Suppression Pool temperature is just below the Heat Capacity Temperature Limit (-1 80°F).

D.

Incorrect but plausible since Suppression Pool temperatures above 170°F could result in damage to the HPCl pump. However, the same caution also applies to the RClC pump. High suction temperature to RClC can result in pump damage.

Justification:

A.

B.

C.

D.

Incorrect but plausible since an upscale failure of an LPRM could result in Simulated Thermal Power increasing and would cause an APRM upscale/inop alarm. The LPRM failure would effect APRM, RBM, and OPRM indications. However, the condition would result in an APRM Upscale/lnop alarm only. Also, an upscale failure of an LPRM would not have any effect on triggering the OPRM enabled alarm. In addition, the LPRM circuit does not count the number of LPRMs that have invalid readings, but tracks how many detectors associated with an APRM are bypassed.

The LPRM failure would also have some effect APRM, RBM, and OPRM indications.

The condition would not affect total recirc drive flow.

Correct. Failure of flow transmitter FT-043-2N024B would result in I ) indicated flow for APRM channel 2 falling below the point (<6O%) where OPRM 2 would be enabled (ARC 108 A-4), 2) APRM flow-biased alarm and trip setpoints would fall to 86.7% and 94.3%, respectively (ARC 108 B-4), and 3) flow transmitter input signal would be less than I mA (ARC 108 E-3). Flow indications for loop and total drive flow would remain unchanged since they receive their flow signals from APRM Channels 1 and $4.

Incorrect but plausible since a downscale failure of an LPRM could result in Simulated Thermal Power decreasing and could cause an APRM downscale alarm.

The LPRM failure would also have some effect APRM, RBM, and OPRM indications.

The condition would not affect total recirc drive flow.

Incorrect but plausible because flow transmitter FT-043-2N024A performs the same function as 2N024B and would have similar result but the effect would be on a different APRM channel.

QUESTION 89 K&A Statement:

Justification :

A.

B.

C.

D.

Correct -Div 3 125 VDC distribution panel 2PPCI supplies power to the isolation logic for the inboard RClC isolation valve. Loss of Div 3 125VDC power to the RClC isolation logic will prevent the isolation valve from closing when a valid Grp VA isolation signal is'received. Turbine shutdown is appropriate because not needed for plant shutdown or core cooling.

Incorrect but plausible since most NSSSS isolation groups will isolate on a loss of power to the initiation logic. However, the initiation logic for most NSSSS isolation groups are powered from AC not DC.

Incorrect but plausible since loss of power to Div 1 125 VDC distribution panels would effect the ability of the RClC outboard isolation valve to close on a valid Grp 5A isolation signal. Turbine shutdown is appropriate because not needed for plant shutdown or core cooling.

Incorrect but plausible since most NSSSS isolation groups will isolate on a loss of power to the initiation logic. However, the initiation logic for most NSSSS isolation groups are powered from AC not DC.

G.2.2.39 - Knowledge of less than or equal to one hour Technical Specification action statements for systems, as it relates to STANDBY GAS TREATMENT SYSTEM.

Justification:

A.

Incorrect but plausible since RWCU operations other than beyond normal makeup or letdown are specifically mentioned in GP-6.2 as operations to be considered as having a potential to drain the reactor vessel. However, only if the systems isolation capability on either Reactor Low Water Level or RWCU High Differential Flow is not maintained.

B.

Correct - T.S. 3.6.5.3, action b. states With both standby gas treatment subsystems inoperable, if in progress, suspend handling of irradiated fuel in the secondary containment, CORE ALTERA TIONS or operations with a potential for draining the reactor vessel.. Section 3.3. of GP-6.2, Shutdown Operations -

Specifically, step 3.3.2.3 identifies CRD maintenance (Le. drive removal and drive replacement) except for HCU hydraulic line maintenance as a specific activity that falls in this category.

C.

Incorrect. Plausible since action b of TS 3.6.5.3 requires suspension of core alterations. However, the movement of LPRM detectors are specifically excluded in definition of core alterations.

D.

Incorrect. First part is correct. Action b of TS 3.6.5.3 requires suspension of core alterations. However, the movement of LPRM detectors are specifically excluded in definition of core alterations. Plausible if applicant thinks both activities must be stopped.

Correct - From M-42 sheet 1, the affected instruments would be:

e From Sheet 2, Table I Water Level Instrumentation Utilization the function and level trip point for each level transmitter can be found in the last two columns of the table. Based on the information, LCO 3.3.3 is not met since the ADS Level 3 Permissive requires a minimum of 1 operable channel (l/trip system; two trip systems with 1 channel per trip system). LCO 3.3.5 is not met since RClC Level 2 and Level 8 trips require a minimum of 4 operable channels (4 per trip function).

B.

Incorrect but plausible if the applicant doesnt know how many level channels are actually available for the ADS circuit.

C.

Incorrect but plausible if the applicant doesnt know how many level channels are actually available for the RClC circuits, or believes High level trip function is met due to transmitter being in a tripped condition.

D.

Incorrect but plausible since only two channels (one / subsystem) provide signals for the ADS Level 3 permissive. If the applicant doesnt notice the (***) note at the bottom of the page concerning that the Minimum Operable Channels per Trip Function is per subsystem then this choice appears to be a correct answer, and doesnt know how many level channels are actually available for the RClC circuits, or believes High level trip function is met due to transmitter being in a tripped condition.

Justification:

A.

Incorrect but plausible if the applicant believes the steam flow would exceed the flow capacity of the available bypass valves, then the reactor would scram on high pressure.

B.

Correct - Bypass capacity with all nine BPV can handle up to 30% of full power steam flow, with each bypass valve capable of handling 3.33% of the flow. Two inoperable BPVs would reduce the systems bypass capacity to 23.7% (30% -

2(3.33%)). Since reactor power is less than the bypass capacity, the operable BPVs can control reactor pressure. One entry condition for OT-I02 is the Unexpected/unexplained opening of a Main Turbine Bypass Valve.

C.

Incorrect but plausible if the applicant wisunderstands what will cause the RRPs to trip. While the RRPs will trip when pressure is greater than 1049 psig, the trip is not enabled unless power is above 25%.

D.

Incorrect but plausible if the applicant misunderstands what will cause the RRPs to trip and miscalculates the flow capacity of the available bypass valves. The RRPs will trip when pressure is greater than 1049 psig, but the trip is not enabled unless power is above 25%. The available bypass capacity (23.7%) is greater than the current power level (22%).

K&A #

Plant-wide Generics Importance Rating 4.3 QUESTION 98 K&A Statement:

Justification:

A.

G.2.3.11 - Ability to control radiation releases.

Incorrect but plausible since a flow rate below 50 scfm would invalidatethe calculation and require use of FIT-070-150 B.

Incorrect but plausible since an increase of more than 15% from the last hourly calculation in the offgas release rate requires performance of ST-5-041-885-1, Dose Equivalent 1-1 31 Determination. However, this is only applicable if offgas release rates are above 75,00OpCi/sec.

C.

Correct - The applicant must first determine the average offgas release rate using the following formula for each channel.

RR = rad level x offgas flow x K constant Ave RR = (RRchA + RRCh B) / 2 = 171.81 pCi/sec This results in an increase of 72% increase over the last hourly increase.

Performance of ST-5-070-885-1, Isotopic Off-gas Analysis is required if the offgas release rate increases by more than 50% from the last hourly calculation regardless of the offgas release rate level.

D.

Incorrect but plausible since an increase of more than 15% in the offgas release rate calculation requires performance of ST-5-041-885-1, Dose Equivalent 1-1 31 Determination. In addition, an increase of more than 50% in the offgas release rate calculation requires performance of ST-5-070-885-1, Isotopic Off-gas Analysis.

However, ST-5-041-885-1, Dose Equivalent 1-1 31 Determination would only be required if offgas release rates are above 75,00OpCi/sec.
