• Reactor Coolant System (RCS) temperature is 150°F.

• Steam Generator (SG) temperature is 260°F.

• No Reactor Coolant Pumps are running.

• The Pressurizer is solid.

Which ONE (1) of the following will result if the FIRST Reactor Coolant Pump is started with the conditions listed?

A. Excessive core lift.

B. An RCS pressure transient.

C. Excessive RCP stator temperatures.

D. Exceed RCS heatup limits.

Proposed Answer: B Explanation:

A. Incorrect. Plausible because core lift is a concern when starting the 4th Reactor Coolant Pump, however, in this condition the 1st RCP is being started.

B. Correct. With RCS temperature less then the temperature listed in the Pressure Temperature Limits Report (PTLR) the Steam Generator to RCS T must be less than 100°F. This prevents an overpressure transient on the RCS when the RCP is started and the RCS heats up.

C. Incorrect. Plausible because RCP motor current would be high, however, starting current would only be lowered if the RCP were started at a higher temperature.

D. Incorrect. Plausible because RCS temperature would rise, however, there is insufficient Steam Generator mass to exceed a heatup limit.

• Unit 2 is operating in MODE 1 with all systems aligned for normal automatic control when the following alarms are received:

• 58A04 - VCT LEVEL HI/LO.

• 58A14 - BORIC ACID PUMPS AUTO START FAILURE.

• 58A06 - BORIC ACID TO VCT FLOW HI/LO.

• All Reactor Coolant System parameters are stable at normal values.

Which ONE (1) of the following:

1.) Identifies the impact on the Chemical and Volume Control System?

2.) What action must be taken to mitigate the situation?

A. 1.) LT-0226, VCT Level Transmitter has failed high and the Boric Acid Pumps have stopped to prevent over boration of the RCS.

2.) Place FIC-0210Y, Boron Makeup Flow Controller in MANUAL to ensure boration remains secured.

B. 1.) LT-0226, VCT Level Transmitter has failed low and the selected Boric Acid Pump the failed to start.

2.) Place HS-0210, Makeup Mode Selector in MANUAL to stop the uncontrolled dilution.

C. 1.) LT-0227, VCT Level Transmitter has failed high and the Boric Acid Pumps have stopped to prevent over boration of the RCS.

2.) Place FIC-0210Y, Boron Makeup Flow Controller in MANUAL to ensure boration remains secured.

D. 1.) LT-0227, VCT Level Transmitter has failed low and the selected Boric Acid Pump failed to start.

2.) Place HS-0210, Makeup Mode Selector in MANUAL to stop the uncontrolled dilution.

Page 9 of 112 Rev 0

ES-401 SONGS Oct 2009 NRC Written Exam Worksheet Form ES-401-5 Proposed Answer: B Explanation:

A. Incorrect. Plausible because the VCT HI / LO alarm would come in on a high failure of LT-0226 and it could be thought that a boration evolution would need to be stopped if in progress and placing FIC-0210Y in MANUAL would prevent normal boration.

B. Correct. VCT Level transmitter LT-0226 failing low causes Auto Makeup to initiate to the VCT and the failure of the selected Boric Acid Pump to start results in the pump failure and low flow alarms and is an indication that the only makeup flow is a dilution.

C. Incorrect. Plausible because the VCT HI / LO alarm would come in on a high failure of LT-0227 and placing FIC-0210Y in MANUAL could prevent an advertent boration.

D. Incorrect. Plausible because the Makeup Mode Selector should be placed in MANUAL, however, the failure of transmitter LT-0227 causes the Charging Pump suction to shift from the VCT to the RWST.

• Unit 3 is in MODE 6 with core re-load in progress.

• While filling and venting a portion of the out-of-service Shutdown Cooling Train an inadvertent dilution occurred resulting in Cavity/RCS boron concentration lowering from 2672 ppm to 2587 ppm.

Which ONE (1) of the following describes the indications observed as a result of this dilution?

A. Slight rise in cavity level and a small rise in source range count rate.

B. Slight rise in Core Exit Thermocouple temperature and a doubling in source range count rate.

C. Small rise in dose rates around Shutdown Cooling Equipment and a small rise in source range count rate.

D. Small drop in dose rates around Shutdown Cooling Equipment and a doubling in source range count rate.

Proposed Answer: A Explanation:

A. Correct. The only level change will be associated with the amount of water added and the count rate changes would be small given that the previously existing shutdown margin was > 5% (Keff

.95) and the IBW would be about 105 ppm/% at BOL. There also would be no significant increase in N-16 gamma production to cause coolant dose rates to rise.

B. Incorrect. Plausible because it could be thought that the boron change was large enough to cause a doubling and cause an increase in nuclear heat, however, there would be no CET change until the Reactor was at the POAH.

C. Incorrect. Plausible because it could be thought that the change in core count rate would also be reflected in the coolant dose rate. There also would be no significant increase in N-16 gamma production to cause coolant dose rates to rise.

D. Incorrect. Plausible because dilution of the RCS could slightly reduce RCS specific activity and it could be thought that the boron change was large enough to cause a doubling.

• Unit 2 is at 100% power.

• Unit 3 is cooling down in MODE 4.

• 230 kV Switchyard is in a normal alignment.

• All 4160 VAC 1E Bus voltages have lowered to 3950 V.

After 30 seconds has elapsed, which ONE (1) of the following is the power supply to Unit 3 Shutdown Cooling Pump 3P016?

A. Reserve Auxiliary Transformer 2XR2 via Bus 2A06.

B. Emergency Diesel Generator 2G003 via Bus 2A06.

C. Emergency Diesel Generator 3G003 via Bus 3A06.

D. Reserve Auxiliary Transformer 3XR2 via Bus 3A06.

Proposed Answer: D Explanation:

A. Incorrect. Plausible because the Reserve Auxiliary Transformer on the opposite Unit (2XR2) is the Preferred Power Source, however, when a degraded voltage exists on both Units (Switchyard in a normal alignment) this transfer would not take place.

B. Incorrect. Plausible because this power source would be available, however, it requires manual actions by the operator including operation of 50.54.X switches in the associated Switchgear Room. Additionally, Bus 3A06 EDG (3G003) would need to be INOPERABLE to take this action.

C. Incorrect. Plausible because had this condition lasted for longer than 110 seconds the Emergency Diesel Generator would be the source of power, however, power to Shutdown Cooling Pump 3P016 remains on the Reserve Auxiliary Transformer.

D. Correct. This is the power supply to Shutdown Cooling Pump 3P016 until the degraded voltage condition lasts for longer than 110 seconds.

• A Large Break Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) has occurred.

• The break location is a Reactor Coolant System Hot Leg.

Which ONE (1) of the following would be the result if the steps of SO23-12-11, EOI Supporting Attachments, Attachment 11, Simultaneous Hot/Cold Leg Injection were performed immediately following the LOCA diagnosis?

A. Inadequate core cooling due to the loss of Safety Injection flow out the break.

B. Safety Injection flow through the core would be stopped.

C. Boration flow would be inadequate to maintain core SHUTDOWN MARGIN.

D. High Pressure Safety Injection Pumps would reach run out conditions.

Proposed Answer: A Explanation:

A. Correct. Failure to wait two hours prior to initiating Simultaneous Hot/Cold Leg Injection would result in an Inadequate Core Cooling situation. This is due to the fluid injected at the Hot Leg getting entrained in the steam leaving the break in the early period of the LOCA.

B. Incorrect. Plausible because Safety Injection flow from the Hot Leg would be impeded due to steam leaving the core area, however, Cold Leg flow would still be ensured.

C. Incorrect. Plausible because performing Attachment 11 would result in effectively reducing the boration rate, however, boration flow would still exceed the minimum required to maintain SDM.

D. Incorrect. Plausible because under certain core conditions the HPSI Pumps can exceed runout.

Attachment 11, Simultaneous Hot/Cold Leg Injection controls the flow rate through the Cold and Hot Leg Injection Valves to prevent this condition from occurring. This issue is addressed in SO23-12-11, Attachment 13.

The Quench Tank is...

A. drained to the Reactor Coolant Drain Tank and refilled with Primary Makeup Water.

B. vented to the Waste Gas System while the contents cool to ambient temperature.

C. drained to the Containment Sump and refilled with Primary Makeup Water.

D. vented and drained to the Radwaste Primary Tank using the Reactor Coolant Drain Tank Pumps.

Proposed Answer: A Explanation:

A. Correct. This is the guidance provided in Annunciator Response Procedure 50A21. There is no internal method used to cool the Quench Tank.

B. Incorrect. Plausible because this is the required action to address a high Quench Tank pressure, however, a high temperature requires drain and refill of the Quench Tank.

C. Incorrect. Plausible because the Primary Makeup Water Pump is used, however, the effluent is directed to the Reactor Coolant Drain Tank vice Containment Sump.

D. Incorrect. Plausible because this is where the coolant is pumped from the Reactor Coolant Drain Tank, however, this does not address the high temperature and cooling of the Quench Tank.

A. Incorrect. Plausible because it may be thought that the Spent Fuel Building CCW loads are common and may be swapped between Units similar to the Emergency Chiller, however, E370 is a Unit specific Train A load.

B. Correct. Emergency Chiller E336 can be supplied from either Unit 2 or Unit 3 Train A CCW.

There are no check valves and inter-unit leakage is a real potential.

C. Incorrect. Plausible because the pressure difference across the Unit 3 Letdown Heat Exchanger would cause a leak into CCW and Unit 3 level would rise, however, the fill valve being closed does not by itself explain Unit 2 level lowering.

D. Incorrect. Plausible because with or without a leak in the Letdown Heat Exchanger, the pressures listed would drive flow to the Unit 3 side causing the level transients described, however no cross-tie path is provided to explain this.

• HS-0100A, Pressurizer Pressure Channel Select Switch is selected to Channel X.

• PT-0100X, Pressurizer Pressure Control System pressure transmitter has failed low.

Assuming no operator actions, which ONE (1) of the following identifies the FIRST Reactor Protection System trip that will be actuated?

A. Low Departure from Nuclear Boiling Ratio.

B. High Pressurizer Pressure.

C. High Local Power Density.

D. Low Pressurizer Pressure.

Proposed Answer: B Explanation:

A. Incorrect. Plausible because a low Pressurizer pressure is associated with a low DNBR, however, when this pressure transmitter fails low it turns all Heaters on and Pressurizer pressure will rise.

B. Correct. Failing this transmitter low energizes all Pressurizer Heaters, raising pressure until the high pressure trip setpoint is reached.

C. Incorrect. Plausible because low DNBR and high Local Power Density (LPD) trips are generated by Core Protection Calculators which have inputs including pressurizer pressure, however, pressure only affects DNBR trip setpoint, not LPD.

D. Incorrect. Plausible if thought that the pressure transmitter failing low would cause a low Pressurizer pressure trip.

A. CIAS only actuates.

B. CIAS, SIAS and CSAS actuate.

C. CIAS, SIAS and CCAS actuate.

D. CIAS, SIAS, CSAS and CCAS actuate.

Proposed Answer: C Explanation:

A. Incorrect. Plausible because it could be thought that only low Pressurizer Pressure actuated SIAS and that CCAS and CSAS actuation require SIAS actuation.

B. Incorrect. Plausible because it could be thought that with high Containment pressure and SIAS that CSAS would actuate and that the CCAS required a 2/4 signal from the wide range Containment pressure transmitters.

C. Correct. SIAS and CIAS will actuate on 2/4 narrow range Containment pressures at the high setpoint and when SIAS actuates then CCAS will actuate.

D. Incorrect. Plausible because it could be thought that with a failed high Containment pressure and SIAS, that CSAS and CCAS also would actuate however CSAS requires 2/4 from the wide range Containment pressure transmitters.

• Unit 3 has experienced a Loss of Coolant Accident.

• All safety systems actuated as designed.

• The Recirculation Actuation Signal (RAS) setpoint has been reached.

• The crew is preparing to perform SO23-12-11, EOI Supporting Attachments, Attachment 14, RAS Operation.

Which ONE (1) of the following correctly describes the affect that RAS operation has on plant parameters and the actions taken to ensure Critical Safety Functions are maintained?

A. The suction pressure to the High Pressure Safety Injection Pumps will be greater and result in flow approaching runout.

Throttle High Pressure Safety Injection Cold Leg Injection Valves to prevent runout.

B. The suction pressure to the Containment Spray Pumps will be greater and result in flow approaching runout.

Throttle the Containment Spray Flow Control Valves to prevent runout.

C. The water being used is hotter and could result in rising Containment pressure.

Verify Containment pressure is less than 14 psig or ensure proper Containment Spray actuation and close the CCW Isolation Valves to the Letdown HX.

D. The water being used is hotter and could result in rising core temperatures.

Raise Safety Injection flow rate by restarting Low Pressure Safety Injection Pumps as required to restore subcooling.

Proposed Answer: C Page 68 of 112 Rev 0

ES-401 SONGS Oct 2009 NRC Written Exam Worksheet Form ES-401-5 Explanation:

A. Incorrect. Plausible because suction pressure from the Containment Sump will be higher and result in higher flow. The action to throttle flow in this situation would be inappropriate.

B. Incorrect. Plausible because suction pressure from the Containment Sump will be higher and result in higher flow. The action to throttle flow in this situation would be inappropriate.

C. Correct. The higher temperature of the SI cooling flow will result in RCS temperatures and Containment pressure rising. Attachment 14 attempts to reduce this affect by maximizing Containment Cooling but Floating Step 12 instructs the operator to verify Containment pressure less than 14 psig or ensure CSAS actuation and isolate CCW to/from the Letdown Heat Exchanger.

D. Incorrect. Plausible because core temperatures will rise initially but after RAS the actions to restart LPSI would be inappropriate and jeopardize the available NPSH to the HPSI and Containment Spray Pumps.

• Emergency Feedwater Actuation Signals 1 and 2 (EFAS-1 & EFAS-2) have actuated following a trip from full power.

• A manual Main Steam Isolation Signal was actuated following reports of steam in the Turbine Building.

• Steam Generator E-088 is at 745 psia and 15% narrow range level.

• Steam Generator E-089 is at 795 psia and 18% narrow range level.

A. Only Steam Generator E-088.

B. Only Steam Generator E-089.

C. Both Steam Generators E-088 and E-089.

D. Neither Steam Generator E-088 nor E-089.

Proposed Answer: C Explanation:

A. Incorrect. Plausible because E088 has the lower level, and is below the setpoint for Diverse Emergency Feed Actuation Signal, however, DEFAS is not applicable (needs ATWS, and no MSIS present) and both SG levels are below the 21% EFAS actuation setpoint.

B. Incorrect. Plausible because it may be thought that with MSIS present, only the SG with the higher pressure will be fed, however, SG pressures must be below 741 psia and the difference must be at least 125 psi.

C. Correct. With EFAS-1 and 2 present, both SG pressures above 741 psia, and both SG levels below 21%, both SGs will be fed.

D. Incorrect. Plausible because if both SG pressures were below 741 psia (setpoint for MSIS), and pressures within 125 psia as listed, neither SG would be fed. However, the MSIS was manual and SG pressures are above 741 psi.

Proposed Answer: B Page 103 of 112 Rev 0

ES-401 SONGS Oct 2009 NRC Written Exam Worksheet Form ES-401-5 Explanation:

A. Incorrect. Plausible because this would be the correct action if generator voltage were lower than Bus 3A04 voltage when the breaker was closed and it was desired to establish a positive VAR load.

B. Correct. With EDG voltage greater than bus voltage when the breaker is closed, a positive VAR load will be supplied out the Emergency Diesel Generator (known at SONGS as BOOST).

Because Diesel voltage is significant kindling greater than bus voltage, the Voltage Control Switch is placed in LOWER to decrease generator terminal voltage and establish the VAR load specified.

C. Incorrect. Plausible because this would be the correct action if generator voltage were lower than Bus 3A04 voltage when the breaker was closed and if thought that it was desirable to establish a negative VAR load.

D. Incorrect. Plausible because the VAR meter will move in the positive direction, however, placing the Voltage Control Switch in LOWER will cause more VARs to be absorbed into the Generator.

Reference:

From LP 0HT122, Page 33 Revision # 1-2 The value of U decreases as heat exchanger tube surfaces become fouled. This occurs because the effective thermal conductivity of the tubes is decreased and because the effective thickness of the tubes increases due to the foreign material which attaches itself to the tubes. An accepted method to monitor heat exchanger operation is to monitor changes in UA:

UA = Q / T When the value of UA has decreased below its minimum acceptable (design) value, the heat exchanger is removed from service and cleaned.

• The Unit is in MODE 4 with a cooldown to MODE 5 in progress.

• A Containment Mini-Purge is in progress.

• A Containment Mini-Purge Exhaust Isolation Valve fails closed.

• NO other Containment Mini-Purge components have repositioned.

A. Humidity level rises.

B. Temperature rises.

C. Radiation level rises.

D. Pressure rises.

Proposed Answer: D Explanation:

A. Incorrect. Plausible because with exhaust isolated, humid air is still being added to Containment, but at a continuously reducing rate as pressure in Containment builds. Normal Containment Cooling would be reducing humidity.

B. Incorrect. Plausible because the flow of air being added to Containment via the Mini-Purge Supply is reduced, however, there is no forced cooling of this air and Containment Normal Cooling is still in service. Also, there is an RCS cooldown in progress.

C. Incorrect. Plausible because Mini-Purge Exhaust flow is reducing airborne radionuclide concentration and that flow has just been reduced. Over time normal RCS leakage would add radioactivity to the Containment atmosphere but this would not be observable in such a short time span.

D. Correct. With Mini-Purge Exhaust isolated and Mini-Purge Supply still in service, air volume is being added to Containment and Containment pressure would slowly but steadily rise.

• Unit 2 is at 100% power with Main Feedwater controls in Automatic.

• Narrow Range Level Transmitter LT-1123-1 fails high Which ONE (1) of the following correctly describes the impact on Steam Generator E088 level control if Narrow Range Level Transmitter LT-1123-1 fails high?

Steam Generator E088 level control...

A. raises mean level signal value to the Feedwater Control System causing level to lower until operator manual actions are taken.

B. automatically excludes the failed channel from the mean average on poor quality and controls on the remaining good channels average.

C. automatically transfers to MANUAL control if deviation is greater than 7% narrow range.

D. generates a High Level Override signal to close the Feedwater Control Valves to E088.

Proposed Answer: B Explanation:

A. Incorrect. Plausible because it could be thought that the FWCS would continue to average the signals and only provide alarms to alert the operator.

B. Correct. Three channels are compared and a poor quality signal would be discarded automatically from the average.

C. Incorrect. Plausible because it could be thought that a single channel failure would shift the FWCS to MANUAL, however, for this to occur there must be more than one failed channel.

D. Incorrect. Plausible because it could be thought that a single channel failure would result in generation of a HLO signal, however, it must be actual level to generate the HLO signal.

A. Reheat Steam Supply Valves open and Main Feedwater Pump speed rises.

B. Reheat Steam Supply Valves close and Main Feedwater Pump speed lowers.

C. Main Steam Supply Valves open and Main Feedwater Pump speed rises.

D. Main Steam Supply Valves close and Main Feedwater Pump speed lowers.

Proposed Answer: A Page 46 of 110 Rev 0

ES-401 SONGS Oct 2009 NRC Written Exam Worksheet Form ES-401-5 Explanation:

A. Correct. With all four Condensate Pumps running at 100% power the trip of one Condensate Pump will lower suction pressure to the MFW Pump which will lower discharge pressure. With the lower discharge pressure less Feedwater will enter the Steam Generator, Steam Generator level will lower, and the Feedwater Control Valve will open to raise Steam Generator level. As the control valve opens valve differential pressure will lower and the Master Controller will send a signal to the MFW Pump to increase its speed. Given the conditions listed, the Reheat Steam Supply Valves control steam flow to the MFW Pump and open to raise MFW Pump speed.

B. Incorrect. Plausible because at this power level the Reheat Steam Supply Valves are in control, however, the valves would open and speed would rise.

C. Incorrect. Plausible because Main Feedwater Pump rises, however, at this power level the Reheat Steam Supply Valves are in control.

D. Incorrect. Plausible if thought that Main Feedwater Pump speed lower, however, at this power level the Reheat Steam Supply Valves are in control.

• A Reactor Coolant System leak has occurred.

• Reactor Coolant System pressure is 2200 psia.

• Pressurizer level is 20% and lowering.

• The leak size is estimated at 500 gpm.

• The Reactor Coolant System leak is determined to be a Pressurizer vapor space break.

• Reactor Coolant System pressure is 1600 psia.

• Pressurizer level is 50% and rising.

With the change in Reactor Coolant System pressure noted above, which ONE (1) of the following is the resultant Reactor Coolant System leak rate?

A. ~300 gpm.

B. ~375 gpm.

C. ~425 gpm.

D. ~500 gpm.

Proposed Answer: C Page 65 of 110 Rev 0

ES-401 SONGS Oct 2009 NRC Written Exam Worksheet Form ES-401-5 Explanation:

A. Incorrect. Plausible because this answer could be arrived at if an error is made calculating the square root of the differential pressure to determine flow rate.

B. Incorrect. Plausible if thought that leakrate was based on a simple ratio/proportion calculation. In this instance 3/4ths the pressure would yield 1/4th the leak rate.

C. Correct. This question meets the KA because it tests the operator's understanding of the change in leakrate based on a change in pressure. Leak rate is proportional to the square root of the P.

1/4th the original pressure will correspond to a leak rate approximately 85% of the original leak rate. The operational implications of this are important when evaluating ability to keep the core covered.

D. Incorrect. Plausible if thought that the leak rate would not change because it is a vapor space leak and Pressurizer level is rising.

D. Refer to SO23-12-11, EOI Supporting Attachments, FS-1, Verify Pressurizer Pressure and initiate Pressurizer Spray flow to reduce RCS and Pressurizer differential temperature.

Proposed Answer: C Page 1 of 140 Rev 0

ES-401 SRO Written Exam Worksheet Form ES-401-5 Explanation:

A. Incorrect. Plausible because it could be thought that Shutdown Margin is in jeopardy due to the Excess Steam Demand Event.

B. Incorrect. Plausible because for Pressurizer level greater than 80% the EOI directs action to place Letdown in service, however, implementing FS-7 is a more direct way to address this concern.

C. Correct. Throttle conditions are met and with RCS pressure above SI Pump shutoff head the next throttling steps require securing Charging Pumps.

D. Incorrect. Plausible because at 160°F the EOI does direct actions to initiate spray flow for PTS mitigation, however, this action is not performed by this Floating Step.

• Reactor Coolant System Inventory Balance identified the leakage as 1.2 gpm.

• A Containment entry identified a leak on the seal leak-off line at the weld where the pressure instrument taps off.

Which ONE (1) of the following identifies the type of leakage and the action(s) required?

A. This is UNIDENTIFIED LEAKAGE greater than 1 gpm and must be corrected within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> or the plant must be taken to COLD SHUTDOWN.

B. This is IDENTIFIED LEAKAGE less than 10 gpm and continued operation is allowed with no restrictions.

C. This is PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE and the unit must be placed in MODE 5 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />.

D. This is leakage from a known source that has been specifically located and does not interfere with leakage detection systems. Establish controls to monitor for changes in the leakage rate.

Proposed Answer: C Page 13 of 140 Rev 0

ES-401 SRO Written Exam Worksheet Form ES-401-5 Explanation:

A. Incorrect. Plausible because it could be thought that due to the location coming from the seal that this would not be pressure boundary, however, this section of line is unisolable from the RCS.

B. Incorrect. Plausible because it could be thought that this was considered UNIDENTIFIED LEAKAGE based on being visually identified and not interfering with the leakage detection systems; however, this is PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE which is not allowed in any quantity.

C. Correct. This is PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE and the Unit must be placed in MODE 5 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />.

• A Small Break Loss of Coolant Accident is in progress on Unit 2.

• A total loss of Component Cooling Water has occurred on Unit 2.

• The Recirculation Actuation Signal will actuate in 5 minutes.

• Bus 2A04 has tripped and locked out due to a bus fault.

• HPSI Pump P-018 is currently aligned to Train B.

• Actions of SO23-12-3, Loss of Coolant Accident are in progress.

Which ONE (1) of the following actions must be taken to mitigate the situation?

A. Remain in SO23-12-3, Loss of Coolant Accident and cross-connect Unit 2 Component Cooling Water with Unit 3 and invoke 10CFR50.54.X on Unit 2.

B. Start Train B P-019, HPSI Pump following the Recirculation Actuation Signal in order to provide additional flow and transition to SO23-12-9, Functional Recovery, Attachment FR-5, Recovery - Heat Removal if HPSI Pump performance becomes unstable.

C. Transition to SO23-12-9, Functional Recovery, Attachment FR-5, Recovery - Heat Removal and cross-connect Unit 2 Component Cooling Water with Unit 3 and invoke 10CFR50.54.X on Unit 3.

D. Perform actions of SO23-12-11, EOI Supporting Attachments, Attachment 14, RAS Operations to raise RWST level in order to flood Containment above the 23 (foot) level to improve Net Positive Suction Head to the operating HPSI Pump.

Proposed Answer: A Page 21 of 140 Rev 0

ES-401 SRO Written Exam Worksheet Form ES-401-5 Explanation:

A. Correct. Given the conditions listed, remaining in SO23-12-3 is appropriate and cross connecting CCW places Unit 2 in a 50.54.X notification.

B. Incorrect. Plausible because the pump is available (P-018, the 3rd of a kind Pump will start on an SIAS, therefore, P-019 is available) and might be considered, however, according to Step 5 EOI Bases, it will only increase flow marginally, if at all, and one operating train is sufficient at his time.

Transitioning to the FR is plausible as this is the RNO action in Floating Step 22 if HPSI Pump flow becomes unstable.

C. Incorrect. Plausible because it could be thought that the FR is the procedure required for this condition, however, one Train is all that is required given the conditions listed and cross connecting with Unit 3 CCW places Unit 2 in a 50.54.X notification.

D. Incorrect. Plausible because refilling the RWST would be a desired action given the loss of CCW and raising level does improve HPSI Pump NPSH, however, flooding above the 225 level will impact the Emergency Cooling Unit ductwork and could complicate the loss of CCW that already exists.

• The Unit is in a Reduced Inventory Condition.

• Train A Shutdown Cooling Pump is oscillating +/- 12 amps.

• Reactor Coolant System level is at the top of the Hot Leg (Midloop Condition) and lowering.

Which ONE (1) of the following identifies the desired action(s) for the conditions listed?

A. Vent the Train B Shutdown Cooling Heat Exchanger and start the Train B Shutdown Cooling Pump per SO23-3-2.6, Shutdown Cooling System Operation.

B. Vent the Train A Shutdown Cooling Heat Exchanger and throttle flow through Train B Shutdown Cooling Pump per SO23-3-2.6, Shutdown Cooling System Operation.

C. Commence emergency refill of the RCS by starting any HPSI Pump and open two Cold Leg Injection Valves per SO23-13-15, Loss of Shutdown Cooling.

D. Start any available Containment Spray Pump aligned as a Shutdown Cooling Pump per SO23-13-15, Loss of Shutdown Cooling.

Proposed Answer: C Page 28 of 140 Rev 0

ES-401 SRO Written Exam Worksheet Form ES-401-5 Explanation:

A. Incorrect. Plausible because the Train A Shutdown Cooling Pump is cavitating and this action would be desired if the RCS were not in a Reduced Inventory Condition, however, venting the Train B SDC Heat Exchanger with the Train A SDC Pump running could worsen the condition.

B. Incorrect. Plausible because vortexing probably is occurring which is causing the Shutdown Cooling Pump to cavitate, however, in this condition emergency refill of the RCS is required.

C. Correct. Shutdown Cooling Pump cavitation is identified by an amperage fluctuation of +/- 10 amps.

With the Reactor Coolant System in a Reduced Inventory Condition emergency refill of the RCS must be performed and the desired flowpath is via a HPSI Pump and Hot or Cold Leg Injection Valves.

D. Incorrect. Plausible because the RNO action for emergency refill of the RCS requests that a Containment Spray Pump be started, however, the CS Pump must be aligned to the RWST in order to refill the RCS.

• Chemistry reports the following sampling results just prior to a Large Break Loss of Coolant Accident:

• Safety Injection Tank T-007 boron concentration 2360 ppm.

• Safety Injection Tank T-008 boron concentration 2540 ppm.

• Safety Injection Tank T-009 boron concentration 2740 ppm.

• Safety Injection Tank T-010 boron concentration 2380 ppm.

• Refueling Water Storage Tank boron concentration 2850 ppm.

• Reactor Coolant System pH is 7.2.

Based on the sample results, which ONE (1) of the following describes the impact of the Chemistry results and actions post-accident to remedy this condition?

A. Safety Injection Tank T-009 boron concentration is out of specification high.

Containment Sump pH will result in accelerated corrosion of metals and production of hydrogen gas. Make preparations to purge hydrogen per SO23-1-4.2, Containment Purge and Recirculation Filtration System.

B. Combined Sump water boron concentration will be out of specification low causing an increased chance of return to criticality.

Monitor the Reactivity Critical Safety Function and initiate SO23-12-9, Functional Recovery, FR-1, Recovery - Reactivity Control actions.

C. Safety Injection Tanks T-007 and T-010 boron concentrations are out of specification low causing an increased chance of return to criticality.

Monitor the Reactivity Critical Safety Function and initiate SO23-12-9, Functional Recovery, FR-1, Recovery - Reactivity Control actions.

D. Refueling Water Storage Tank boron concentration is out of specification high.

The amount of boron in the sump post-LOCA will cause early precipitation of boron on the core surfaces. Consider performing SO23-12-11, EOI Supporting Attachments, Attachment 11, Simultaneous Hot / Cold Leg Injection earlier than specified.

Page 34 of 140 Rev 0

ES-401 SRO Written Exam Worksheet Form ES-401-5 Proposed Answer: D Explanation:

A. Incorrect. Plausible because it could be thought that this SIT boron was too high. High boron concentration will affect the sump pH. This is the required procedure if a Containment Purge is necessary.

B. Incorrect. Plausible because it could be thought that this SIT boron was too low if confused with the low limit for RWST boron of 2350 ppm. If boron was low the effects would be correct and the actions appropriate.

C. Incorrect. Plausible because it could be thought that these SITs boron were too low if confused with the low limit for RWST boron of 2350 ppm. If boron was low the effects would be correct and the actions appropriate.

D. Correct. The boron limit is 2800 ppm and could result in boron precipitation on the core earlier than expected on a large break LOCA. Early initiation of Simultaneous Hot / Cold Leg Injection would be a consideration.

• The Unit is in MODE 3 with a Reactor startup in progress.

• JI-001-2, Log Power Safety Channel has just failed low.

• The remaining three Log Power Safety Channels indicate the following:

• JI-001-1 reads 5 x 10-8%.

• JI-001-3 reads 4 x 10-9%.

• JI-001-4 reads 7 x 10-8%

Which ONE (1) of the following identifies the required actions?

A. Place the failed channel in TRIP within one (1) hour. The Reactor Startup CANNOT continue until the channel is repaired.

B. Place the failed channel in TRIP within one (1) hour. The Reactor Startup CANNOT continue until the cause of the greater than one-half (1/2) decade channel deviation between the remaining three channels is corrected.

C. Place the failed channel in BYPASS within one (1) hour. The Reactor Startup CAN continue with the remaining three channels as long as deviation is less than one-half (1/2) decade when criticality is achieved.

D. Place the failed channel in BYPASS within one (1) hour. The Reactor Startup CAN continue and criticality achieved with the remaining three channels deviation as is.

Proposed Answer: C Page 39 of 140 Rev 0

ES-401 SRO Written Exam Worksheet Form ES-401-5 Explanation:

A. Incorrect. Plausible because the failed channel should be placed in TRIP or BYPASS within one hour, however, the startup may continue as long as the other three channels are within one decade of each other until criticality is achieved.

B. Incorrect. Plausible because the failed channel should be placed in TRIP or BYPASS within one hour, however, the startup may continue. A channel deviation of greater than 1/2 decade is allowed until the Reactor is critical.

C. Correct. This is the guidance contained in SO23-3-3.2, Excore NI Calibration, SO23-3-1.1, Reactor Startup, and Technical Specification LCO 3.3.1, RPS Instrumentation-Operating. With the Reactor in a subcritical condition a one decade disagreement applies until criticality is achieved.

D. Incorrect. Plausible because the startup can continue, however, the Reactor CANNOT be taken critical with the deviation as it currently exists.

• A Station Blackout occurred two (2) hours ago.

• Efforts to recover power or cross-tie to Unit 3 have been unsuccessful.

• Entry into SO23-12-9, Functional Recovery, Attachment FR-2, Recovery - Vital Auxiliaries was made to perform power restoration.

• Auxiliary Feedwater Pump P140 tripped on startup and the overspeed trip linkage is broken and will NOT reset.

• Both Steam Generators are empty and entry to SO23-12-9, Functional Recovery, Attachment FR-5, Recovery - Heat Removal has been made due to NO OPERABLE Steam Generator and Reactor Coolant System temperatures RISING.

• Subcooling has been lost and Core Exit Thermocouples are approaching 700°F.

Which ONE (1) of the following describes the actions to take to establish heat removal?

Align Fire Water to the discharge of...

A. P140, Auxiliary Feedwater Pump and feed both Steam Generators using Fire Water at low flows for five minutes and then recover levels to at least 40% narrow range.

B. P140, Auxiliary Feedwater Pump and feed both Steam Generators using Fire Water. Invoke 10CFR50.54.X due to isolating Auxiliary Feedwater Pumps and notify the NRC within four hours.

C. P141, Auxiliary Feedwater Pump and feed Steam Generator E-088 using Fire Water. Enter the Technical Specification ACTION STATEMENT due to cross-tying Auxiliary Feedwater trains.

D. P141, Auxiliary Feedwater Pump and feed both Steam Generators using Fire Water. Invoke 10CFR50.54.X due to isolating Auxiliary Feedwater Pumps and notify the NRC within one hour.

Proposed Answer: D Page 52 of 140 Rev 0

ES-401 SRO Written Exam Worksheet Form ES-401-5 Explanation:

A. Incorrect. Plausible because it could be thought that the connection was on P140 which can be aligned to both Steam Generators without using the AFW System cross-tie. The feed rate listed is consistent with guidance in the Functional Recovery Procedure.

B. Incorrect. Plausible because invoking 50.54.X is required due to isolating the Auxiliary Feedwater Pumps, however, the Fire System connection is on P141 and NRC notification would be required within one hour.

C. Incorrect. Plausible because cross tying Auxiliary Feedwater in MODES 1, 2 or 3 would require entry into a Technical Specification ACTION STATEMENT. It could be thought that there would only be a loss of redundancy due to cross-tie actions and that feeding only one SG was allowed in this case due to the potential for SG tube damage.

D. Correct. With the Heat Removal Safety Function NOT met and all other design paths unavailable, the Functional Recovery Procedure directs aligning the Fire System which has a Diesel Driven Pump and feeding both Steam Generators. 10CFR50.54.X (Step 8a, Caution) is declared due to isolating the AFW Pumps because of overpressure concerns with the fire water connection (Step 8c, Caution).

• Unit 3 is at 75% power and performing a shutdown from 100% power for Refueling.

• Unit 2 has been at 100% power for 95 days and is performing monthly In Service Testing on a standby Charging Pump.

• Annunciator 50A02 - COLSS ALARM actuates on Unit 2 and a steady slow power ramp to 100.06% is observed with a slight drop in TCOLD.

Which ONE (1) of the following describes the cause of this alarm and the actions required to mitigate the event?

A. Auxiliary Steam is aligned to Unit 2 and is starting to supply the Unit 3 Turbine Gland Sealing Steam.

Enter SO23-13-11, Emergency Boration of the RCS / Inadvertent Dilution or Boration and immediately borate to restore Shutdown Margin.

B. Auxiliary Steam is aligned to Unit 2 and is starting to supply the Unit 3 Turbine Gland Sealing Steam.

Enter SO23-5-1.7, Power Operations and immediately reduce power to less than or equal to 100%.

C. The standby Charging Pump had reduced boron concentration in its lines when it was started.

Enter SO23-13-11, Emergency Boration of the RCS / Inadvertent Dilution or Boration and immediately borate to restore Shutdown Margin.

D. The standby Charging Pump had reduced boron concentration in its lines when it was started.

Enter SO23-5-1.7, Power Operations and immediately reduce power to less than or equal to 100%.

Proposed Answer: B Page 93 of 140 Rev 0

ES-401 SRO Written Exam Worksheet Form ES-401-5 Explanation:

A. Incorrect. Plausible if thought that there would be inadequate SHUTDOWN MARGIN with power at this level. If SHUTDOWN MARGIN were inadequate this would be the correct procedure to enter.

B. Correct. The Turbine Gland System is self-sealing above 80% power. Once power drops below 80%, Gland Sealing Steam will be supplied by Auxiliary Steam which will raise power on the supplying Unit. The action required is to reduce power to within 100% per SO23-5-1.7.

C. Incorrect. Plausible because it could be thought that there could be reduced boron in the Charging Pumps causing power to rise, however, an idle Charging Pump during an extended run is not likely to have reduced boron in the lines and a dilution would result in rising TCOLD.

D. Incorrect. Plausible because the procedural action is correct, however, an idle Charging Pump during an extended run is not likely to have reduced boron in the lines and a dilution would result in rising TCOLD.

ES-401 SRO Written Exam Worksheet Form ES-401-5 Explanation:

A. Correct. Given the conditions listed with subcooling < 20°F, allowing Pressurizer level to increase while cooling down is the desired action per Attachment 5, Core Exit Saturation Margin Control.

B. Incorrect. Plausible because solid Pressurizer conditions are imminent, however, cooldown must be performed due to lack of subcooling.

C. Incorrect. Plausible if thought that a solid Pressurizer was an undesirable condition, however, a lack of subcooling precludes SI Throttle/Stop.

D. Incorrect. Plausible because maintaining Pressurizer level less than 60% is guidance contained in Attachment 5 when Core Exit Saturation Margin is less than 20°F, however, a cooldown must be performed even if it results in a solid Pressurizer.

ES-401 SRO Written Exam Worksheet Form ES-401-5 Examination Outline Cross-reference: Level RO SRO Tier # 3 Group # 4 K/A # G 2.4.9 Importance Rating 4.2 Emergency Procedures/Plan: Knowledge of low power/shutdown implications in accident (e.g., loss of coolant accident or loss of residual heat removal) mitigation strategies Proposed Question: SRO 100 Given the following conditions:

• Unit 2 has tripped from 100% power.

• Steam Generator Narrow Range Levels are as follows:

• E088 is 65%.

• E089 is 68%.

• Pressurizer level is 30% and slowly lowering.

• Pressurizer pressure is 2240 psia.

• Letdown is secured.

• Steam Bypass Control System (SBCS) is operating to maintain Steam Generator pressures at 1000 psia.

• Annunciator 50A01 - QUENCH TANK PRESS HI has come in and cleared.

• Annunciator 50A11 - QUENCH TANK LEVEL HI/LO is in alarm.

• Annunciator 50A21 - QUENCH TANK TEMP HI is in alarm.

• Annunciator 50A31 - PZR SAFETY VALVE OUTLET TEMP HI is in alarm.

• Containment pressure is 1.8 psia and rising.

• Containment temperature and humidity are rising.

Which ONE (1) of the following describes the mitigation strategy for the event in progress?

A. Commence controlled cooldown using the Steam Generators and Steam Bypass Control System per SO23-12-11, EOI Supporting Attachments, Attachment 3, Cooldown / Depressurization.

B. Initiate a manual Safety Injection to provide makeup water to the Reactor Coolant System per SO23-12-3, Loss of Coolant Accident.

C. Commence cooldown at maximum achievable rate using Atmospheric Dump Valves per SO23-12-11, EOI Supporting Attachments, Attachment 5, Core Exit Saturation Margin Control.

D. Open Pressurizer Normal and Auxiliary Spray Valves to rapidly reduce pressure to less than 1400 psia per SO23-12-1, Standard Post Trip Actions.

Proposed Answer: A Page 137 of 140 Rev 0

ES-401 SRO Written Exam Worksheet Form ES-401-5 Explanation:

A. Correct. Using information gleaned from Annunciator Responses, it can be determined that the rupture disc on the Quench Tank has blown. This allowed the high pressure condition on the Quench Tank [50A51 - See Note (1)] to clear while continuing a Small Break LOCA out the Pressurizer Safety Valves. In this condition a controlled cooldown is desired to maintain Pressurizer level and minimize voiding of the Reactor Coolant System.

B. Incorrect. Plausible if thought that a manual Safety Injection at this time was going to provide makeup and the starting of all Charging Pumps would do this via the SI, however, in this condition a control cooldown is required via the Steam Generators and SBCS. If a high radiation condition existed inside Containment then this would be an appropriate response, however, it is only addressed in the Functional Response Procedure.

C. Incorrect. Plausible because it could be thought that the faster the RCS was cooled down the quicker HPSI flow would be introduced, however, RCS voiding should be minimized and Pressurizer level control should be maintained.

D. Incorrect. Plausible because using the Pressurizer Normal and Auxiliary Spray Valves to reduce pressure is an approved method, however, voiding could occur and there is no guarantee that HPSI flow would be adequate for the break size.
