NV and NI pumps are what an operator might think of for small break locas since pressure is likely above the shutoff head of the ND pumps, however, for "larger" small break locas, ND is required when swapping to the sump.

FOR REVIEW ONLY - DO NOT DISTRIBUTE 2008 SRO NRC Examination QUESTION 81 B General Discussion At 90% voltage a 10 min timer starts to intiate a BO of the essential busses. This time is 5 seconds if a LOCA has occurred (in this case the DIGs would start and load). Also, if voltage decreases to approximately 84% the DIG would start and load. Neither of these situations occurred so the DIGs are not started. The annunciators imply a grid disturbance. With degraded bus voltage shared systems VA, RN and VCYC are in 3.0.3. Since the CAPT is tagged out already, the student may think that all three CA pumps out is 3.0.3 which is wrong. Also, the RN procedure refers to RN, VCYC and CA when various protions ofRN are inoperable therby making CA a valid distractor.

Since the conditions persist following shutdown, the leak must be between the DIG building wall and RN232A. The only way that this leak can be secured is to separate RN trains and secure all of A train RN which is what AP30 does. This makes both units enter a 72 action for RN.

Both units are operating at 60% power. IAE has placed B S/G NR Level Channel 1 bistables in trip on each unit for testing. The RO on each unit notes another channel of S/G NR level unrelated to the IAE work drifting up.

Assuming no actions are taken and the drifting channel on both units match each other (% NR level) as they increase, which turbine will trip first and what is the basis of that trip?
