QUESTIONS REPORT for 20098 NRC SRO QUESTIONS Plausibility and Answer Analysis

~' Train in service and )\'

With )\' ~' EDG failing to start, RCP Seal Water Inj Low Flow is expected because the '8' CSIP will not receive an Auto Start. The CCW Pump 8 Discharge Header Low Pressure is NOT expected because the 8 CCW pump should have started on low pressure. AOP-025 addresses the CSIP before addressing the CCWPump.

CCW pump auto-start signals are from sequencer UV or SI (load block 4). The standby pump auto-starts on low discharge pressure of 52 psig sensed on its respective discharge header (PT 649 or 650).

A. Incorrect. Wrong priority and wrong expectation.

2. Given the following plant conditions:

- A Reactor Trip and Safety Injection have occurred due to a Small Break LOCA

- The crew has transitioned to EPP-009, Post LOCA Cooldown and Depressurization The following conditions currently exist:

- CNMT Pressure is 7.8 psig and increasing

- RCS Subcooling is 53°Fand 53°F and increasing

- Pressurizer level is 12% and increasing

- 'A' Train CNMT Phase A will NOT reset

- Nitrogen has been established to CNMT Which ONE of the following identifies the action that will be taken to depressurize the RCS AND the Pressurizer level required to secure the depressurization in accordance with EPP-009?

Action Taken to Depressurize the RCS Required Pressurizer Level A. Open Normal Spray Valves 30%

B. Open ONE Pressurizer PORV 30%

C. Open Normal Spray Valves 40%

D~ Open ONE Pressurizer PORV D¥' 40%

Plausibility and Answer Analysis A. Incorrect. 30% is plausible because it is the SI reinitiation criteria value of EPP-009. Normal Spray is plausible because it is desired and nothing indicates RCPs are not inservice but with ~ Train CNMT Phase A NOT reset, the spray I

valves will not work due to loss of Instrument Air.

B. Incorrect. 30% is plausible because it is the SI reinitiation criteria value of EPP-009. ONE Pressurizer PORV is correct due to the loss of IA to the Spray Valves.

C. Incorrect. 40% is correct. Normal Spray is plausible because it is desired and nothing indicates RCPs are not inservice but with ~ Train CNMT Phase A NOT I

reset, the spray valves will not work due to loss of Instrument Air.

D. Correct. 40% is correct. ONE Pressurizer PORV is correct due to the loss of IA to the Spray Valves.

- A Reactor Trip and Safety Injection have occurred

- All MSIVs failed to close

- The crew has transitioned to EPP-015, Uncontrolled Depressurization of All Steam Generators from EPP-014, Faulted Steam Generator Isolation

- The RO has just secured one CSIP as part of Safety Injection termination when the BOP reports that 'A' MSIV has been closed The following parameters are observed:

- RCS pressure is 1525 psig and increasing

- Cold Leg temperatures are 472°F and lowering

- 'A' SG pressure is 510 psig and lowering

- 'B' SG pressure is 515 psig and increasing

- 'C' SG pressure is 590 psig and lowering Which ONE of the following identifies the location of the faultAND the action required?

Steam Line Fault Location Action Required A. 'A' Immediately transition to EPP-014 and isolate 'A' SG B~

B!'" 'A' Remain in EPP-015 and terminate Safety Injection C. 'C' Immediately transition to EPP-014 and isolate 'A' SG D. 'C' Remain in EPP-015 and terminate Safety Injection Plausibility and Answer Analysis

~' Steam Line is the location of the break. Its MSIV has been shut but pressure

'A' continues to lower with saturation temperature.

'C' Steam Line MSIV is open and its pressure is ONL Y lowering to saturation temperature. 'C' Steam Line cannot be the location of the break because with 'B' '8' and

'C' MSIVs open, it is connected to the 'B'

'8' Steam Line and its pressure is increasing.

The Caution in EPP-015 prior to SI 81 termination states that EPP-014 transition criteria is not applicable during SI termination.

A. Incorrect. Correct Steam Line but wrong Procedure Action B.

5. Given the following plant conditions:

- The crew is performing EPP-001, Loss of AC Power to 1A-SA and 1B-SB Buses

- CNMT pressure is 1.3 psig and increasing

- RCS pressure is 1875 psig and lowering

- Pressurizer level is 18% and lowering

- Core Exit Thermocouples are 56]oF and stable

- Cold Leg temperatures are 535°F and stable

- ALL SG pressures are 940 psig and stable

- ALL SG NR levels are 23% and lowering Which ONE of the following identifies the mechanism by which the RCS is being EPP-001 ?

cooled AND the NEXT action required by EPP-001?

Cooling Mechanism Action Required A. Reflux Boiling Commence SG depressurization B. Reflux Boiling Establish 25% NR level in at least ONE SG C~ Natural Circulation C!' Establish 25% NR level in at least ONE SG D. Natural Circulation Commence SG depressurization Plausibility and Answer Analysis The background document discusses these two mechanisms for cooling to occur (Natural Circulation or Reflux Boiling). With the parameters given, Natural Circulation is occurring. Subcooling is approximately 60°F, therefore reflux boiling is NOT occurring.

A listing of parameters can be found in EPP-004, Rev 18, page 32.

A. Incorrect. Subcooling is approximately 60°F, therefore reflux boiling is NOT occurring. The depressurization should NOT be started until 25% NR level is established in at least ONE SG.

B. Incorrect. Subcooling is approximately 60°F, therefore reflux boiling is NOT occurring. The depressurization should not be started until SG NR level of 25%

has been established in at least ONE SG.

C. Correct. With the parameters given, Natural Circulation is occurring. Establishing 25% NR in at least one SG is required prior to SG depressurization.

D. Incorrect. With the parameters given, Natural Circulation is occurring. The depressurization should not be started until SG NR level of 25% has been established in at least ONE SG.

- ERFIS has just failed and NIT is investigating The following occurs at 1216:

- ALL MCB annunciation fails

- The 'A' RCP trips resulting in a Reactor Trip

- One Safety on the 'A' SG opens on the Reactor Trip and fails to reseat

- The GFFD GFFO reading is 2.0EO CPM The time is now 1232 and the following conditions exist:

- The GFFD GFFO is reading 2.5E6 CPM

- Safety Injection and Main Steam Line Isolation are actuated

A. Alert EAL 2-1-2 B. Site Area Emergency EAL 2-1-3 C. Alert EAL 6-1-2 D~ Site Area Emergency EAL 6-1-3 0,.-

Plausibility and Answer Analysis A. Incorrect. Plausible because the fuel is breached B. Incorrect. Plausible because the fuel is breached and CNMT could be determined to be breached if the applicant fails to recognize that the SG tube leak and the stuck open safety valve have occurred on different SGs. Primary to Secondary leak of> 10 gpm and the affected SG Safety valves is not shut results in CNMT breached. 2 FPBs breached or jeopardized is EAL 2-1-3 C. Incorrect. Plausible because if ERFIS data availability or significant transient in progress was answered incorrectly, the EAL classification would be an ALERT 6-1-2.

QUESTIONS REPORT for 2009B NRC SRO QUESTIONS Plausibility and Answer Analysis Aligning both RHR HXs throught the Non-Essential Supply and Return Valves with ONL Y one CCW pump in service will result in runout conditions and damage to the CCW Pump. Therefore, 1CC-167 must be closed before 1CC-147 is opened to prevent damage.

QUESTIONS REPORT for 20098 NRC SRO QUESTIONS Plausibility and Answer Analysis A. Incorrect answer. Malfunction is correct but action is incorrect. AOP-003 is plausible because a dilution has occured and the makeup system is utilized for RCS boron control.

B. Correct. With plant conditions, a dilution has occurred as a result a low temp in the demins when 1CC-337 failed open. OP-131.01, Main Turbine, section 5.3, Power Corrections must be used to lower power.
