The plant automatically tripped on High Pressurizer Pressure due to an inadvertent closure of the Main Turbine Control Valves. During the performance of EOP 2525, Standard Post Trip Actions, the crew reported that Bus 24D is deenergized due to a fault and that Power Operated Relief Valve (PORV), RC-404, is stuck open. All other equipment operated as designed. Upon entry into EOP 2532, Loss of Coolant Accident, the following conditions exist: - Containment pressure is 4.5 psia and slowly rising. - Reactor vessel is 43% and slowly going down - CET temperatures are 568°F and stable - RCS pressure is 1210 psia and stable - Pressurizer level is 100%. - RWST level is 96% and slowly going down. - Steam generator levels are both 41 % and going up slowly. Which of the following actions must the Unit Supervisor/Shift Manager perform to preserve a Safety Function? D A Direct the Tectmical Support Center to develop a plan to restore RWST level. D B Direct the Balance of Plant Operator to align 24E to receive power from Unit 3. D C Direct the Reactor Operator to place the SI/CS Pump Miniflow switches in "OPERATE". [i'I D Direct the crew to commence a controlled cooldown and depressurization. Justification I o IS CORRECT; With ReS pressure stable at 1310 psi a and the PORV still open, RCS inventory is being lost faster than Charging can restore it. The steps for the cooldown and subsequent depressurization must be pulled forward (performed out of sequence) to allow RCS pressure to be reduced below HSPI shut off head to allow adequate Safety Injection flow. A is incorrel;t; JlJthough RWST level is lowering, there is NO need to develop a plan to restore RWST level at this time (perform step out of sequence). Plausible bElcause step 8 of EOP 2532 directs the US or SM to have the TSC develop a plan for restoring level in the RWST if the LOCA is determined to be outside of Containment Examinee may not remember that this step is required ONLY if the LOCA is outside of Containment. B is incorrect; Although the loss of 240 makes the "C" HPSI pump unavailable, the one available HPSI pump should be enough to mitigate the event, provided an RCS cooldown and depressurization is accomplished. Plausible the examinee may believe that starting a second HPSI pump is necessary to recover vessel level because the given conditions indicate that SI flow is presently inadequate (vessel level going down). C is incorrect; The SItCS Pump Miniflow switches are not placed in 'OPERATE" until RWST level is gO%. Plausible bElcause the examinee may feel that a Sump Recirc Actuation Signal is imminent; therefore, it would be appropriate to perform this step out of sequence.

Question #: 2 Student Handout? Lower Order? Question 10; 9000019 RO ~ SRO I-SRO Ques. Ii 2 Rev. 1 Selected for Exam Origin: New Past NRC Exam? The plant tripped from 100% power due to a Large Break LOCA. The crew successfully completed all actions of EOP 25~~5, Standard Post Trip Actions, and are presently performing EOP 2532, Loss of Coolant Accident. The following conditions exist approximately 2 hours after the trip:
- SRAS actuated approximately 15 minutes ago.
- Containment pressure is 5 psig and slowly lowering.
- RCS pressure is 360 psia and slowly lowering.
- CET temperatures indicate 434°F and slowly lowering.
- HPSI Pump current and flow are fluctuating.
Which of the following describes the cause of the HPSI Pump current and flow fluctuations, and the initial action that must be directed? A Hot water in the Containment Sump is flashing to steam in the HPSI Pump suctions. Start at least 2 CAR Fans in Fast speed. ~ B The HPSI Pumps are showing signs of cavitation due to Containment Sump clogging. Secure both Containment Spray Pumps. C Boron precipitation is beginning to occur causing intermittent blockage of flow channels. Establish Hot Leg and Cold Leg Injection. D Total Safety Injection flow is higher than necessary for the present conditions. Throttle the HPSI Injection valves as needed. Justification I B IS CORRECT; Sump Glogging will cause a lower suction pressure in all the running SI pumps. A lower suction pressure will cause the HPSI Pumps to cavitate. EOP 2532 directs the CS pumps be secured (if not needed) to limit the competition for sump suction flow. EOP 2532 also requires Containment Spray Pumps to remain in operation for at least 4 hours for Iodine scrubbing; however, core cooling (maintaining adequate SI flow to the core) takes precedence over Iodine scrubbing. A is incorrect; The Contclinment Spray System and CAR Coolers are designed to lower containment sump temperature enough to prevent cavitation of the !-IPSI Pumps. Plausible because the SFIAS caused the HPSI Pump suctions to swap from the RWST (cool water) to the Containment Sump (hot water). Starting 2 CAR Fans in Fast speed would help to lower the Containment Sump temperature; however, there is no procedural guidance to perform this action. C is incorrect; Boron Precipitation is analyzed to occur after a large break LOCA; however, it is NOT analyzed to occur until 8-10 post event. It's NOT likely that Boron would be solidifying in the core at this time and blocking core flow. Plausible because accidE'nt analysis shows boron Precipitation will occur after a large break LOCA. The examinee may NOT remember the time frame for Boron Precipitation (8-10 hours after the LOCAl. Simultaneous Hot Leg and Cold Leg Injection is the appropriate action for Boron Precipitation. o is incorrect; Total Safe*ty Injection flow is likely above the SI flow curve. The curve is based on having only one train of SI in service (Accident Analysis). However, the additional flow does NOT adversely impact core cooling. Plausible because the examinees should know that Safety Injection flow is higher than required for core cooling and may conclude that throttling HPSI is appropriate. EOP 2532 has steps for throttling HPSI flow.

Question #: .3 Question ID; 9000003 RO ~ SRO Student Handout? Lower Order? J-SRO Ques. # 3 Rev. o Selected for Exam Origin: New Past NRC Exam? While operating at 100% power, the RCP A UPPER SEAL PRES HI annunciator alarms. While referring to the appropriate Annunciator Response Procedure, the RCP A BLEED-OFF FLOW HI annunciator alarms. Within a minute, the RCP A BLEED-OFF FLOW HI annunciator clears and the RCP A BLEED-OFF FLOW LO annunciator alarms and remains lit. Numerous annunciators associated with "A" RCP seals also alarm. Which of the following describes the reason for this sequence of annunciators and the direction that must be given? ~ A The "A" RCP Excess Flow Check Valve has seated. Manually trip the reactor and turbine, then stop the "A" RCP. B The "A" RCP Middle Seal has failed. Evaluate the condition of the other seals to confirm no other degradation or failures. C The Bleedoff F'ressure Controller, PIC-215, has malfunctioned. Using the Foxboro Controller, restore "A" RCP Bleedoff pressure and flow to the normal band. o The Rep Bleedoff Relief Valve has inadvertently opened. Evaluate "A" RCP Seal pressures to determine whether or not the "A" RCP may remain in operation. Justification 'I A is CORRECT; The RCP A UPPER SEAL PRES HI annunciator is indicative of a failure of the "AU RCP Middle or Lower Seal (or a combination of both). This resulted the a high Bleedoff flow through the "An RCP Seals resulting in a RCP A BLEED-OFF FLOW HI annunciator. At 10 gpm, the Excess Flow Check Valve will close causing the RCP A BLEED-OFF FLOW HI annunciator to clear and the RCP A BLEED-OFF FLOW LO to annunciate <<0.75 gpm). At this pOint, the RCP Seal package has NO cooling flow and the HCP must be tripped. Procedurally, the reactor and turbine are tripped prior to tripping the affected RCP. B is incorrect; The individual indications provided could be a result of a failure of the "A" RCP Middle Seal; however, the indications together would indicate a loss of Bleedoff flow through the "An RCP seals requiring the RCP to be stopped. If a Middle Seal had f<liled, then the action is correct. If Bleedoff Pressure Controller, PIC-215, had malfunctioned, then the action would be appropriate. Plausible because the Annunciator Response Procedures for the Upper Seal High Pressure and Bleedoff High Flow annunciators state that these alarrrs may be indicative of a failed Middle Seal. C is incorrect; The abOVE! indications could be indicative of a failure of the RCP Bleedoff Pressure Controller; however, all 4 RCPs would have similar annunciators.

While operating at 100% power, the RCP A UPPER SEAL PRES HI annunciator alarms. While referring to the appropriate Annunciator Response Procedure, the RCP A BLEED-OFF FLOW HI annunciator alarms. Within a minute, the RCP A BLEED-OFF FLOW HI annunciator clears and the RCP A BLEED-OFF FLOW LO annunciator alarms and remains lit. Numerous annunciators associated with "A" RCP seals also alarm. Which of the following describes the reason for this sequence of annunciators and the direction that must be given? ~ A The "A" RCP Excess Flow Check Valve has seated. Manually trip the reactor and turbine, then stop the "A" RCP. B The "A" RCP Middle Seal has failed. Evaluate the condition of the other seals to confirm no other degradation or failures. C The Bleedoff F'ressure Controller, PIC-215, has malfunctioned. Using the Foxboro Controller, restore "A" RCP Bleedoff pressure and flow to the normal band. o The Rep Bleedoff Relief Valve has inadvertently opened. Evaluate "A" RCP Seal pressures to determine whether or not the "A" RCP may remain in operation. Justification 'I A is CORRECT; The RCP A UPPER SEAL PRES HI annunciator is indicative of a failure of the "AU RCP Middle or Lower Seal (or a combination of both). This resulted the a high Bleedoff flow through the "An RCP Seals resulting in a RCP A BLEED-OFF FLOW HI annunciator. At 10 gpm, the Excess Flow Check Valve will close causing the RCP A BLEED-OFF FLOW HI annunciator to clear and the RCP A BLEED-OFF FLOW LO to annunciate <<0.75 gpm). At this pOint, the RCP Seal package has NO cooling flow and the HCP must be tripped. Procedurally, the reactor and turbine are tripped prior to tripping the affected RCP. B is incorrect; The individual indications provided could be a result of a failure of the "A" RCP Middle Seal; however, the indications together would indicate a loss of Bleedoff flow through the "An RCP seals requiring the RCP to be stopped. If a Middle Seal had f<liled, then the action is correct. If Bleedoff Pressure Controller, PIC-215, had malfunctioned, then the action would be appropriate. Plausible because the Annunciator Response Procedures for the Upper Seal High Pressure and Bleedoff High Flow annunciators state that these alarrrs may be indicative of a failed Middle Seal. C is incorrect; The abOVE! indications could be indicative of a failure of the RCP Bleedoff Pressure Controller; however, all 4 RCPs would have similar annunciators. Additionally, the RCP Bleedoff Relief Valve would cycle to provide flow through all 4 of the RCP Seals. Use of the Foxboro Controlier will NOT be effective. If the RCP Bleedoff Relief Valve has inadvertently opened, then the action would be appropriate. Plausible because a failed or failing RCP Bleedoff Pressure Controller could give the above indications; however, all 4 RCPs would be affected. D is incorrect; Opening of the RCP Bleedoff Relief Valve would likely result in a high Bleedoff flow on all 4 RCPs and NOT a low Bleedoff flow annunciator. Additionally, "A" RCP Seal pressures are dependent on seal conditions and not necessarily the flow path of Bleedoff.

J-SRO Ques. # 4 Rev. 0 ~ Selected for Exam Origin: New D Past NRC Exam? The plant is operating at 100% power with the "s" Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) Pump out of service for maintenance. Then the following 13vents occur:
- Automatic plant trip due to a Steam Generator Tube Rupture (SGTR) on #2 Steam Generator (SG).
- Loss of the RSST and VA-20 at the time of trip.
- Shortly after the trip, a Safety Injection Actuation signal (SIAS) automatically actuated.
- All other plant systems respond as designed.
Which one of the following actions must the US perform during EOP 2525, Standard Post Trip Actions, to mitigate the consequences of this event and what is the reason for this action? D A Dispatch a PEO to the Hot Shutdown Panel, C-21, to throttle open the #2 Atmospheric Dump Valve. This will permit a cooldown of both Hot Leg temperatures to ~ 515°F. [] B Direct the SOP to swap the control power supply switch for the Terry Turbine to Facility 1. This will allow the operator to maintain both S/G levels in the prescribed bands. ~ C Dispatch a PEO to manually operate the "s" Auxiliary Feedwater Regulating Valve, 2-FW-43S. This will prevent excessive auxiliary feedwater from overfilling the affected SG. D D Direct the SOP* to close #2 S/G Steam Supply to the Terry Turbine, MS-202, after the disconnect is closed. This will minimize the radioactive release from the affected SG. Justification I C IS CORRECT; On a lo,~s of normal power, Condensate is lost; therefore, main Feedwater is lost. The loss of VA-20 will cause the "B" Aux Feed Regulating Valve to fail open. EOP 2525 requires at least two Auxiliary Feed Pumps to be started. I n order to prevent overfeeding #2 SG, the "EI" Aux Feed Regulating Valve, 2-FW-43B, must be either closed or isolated locally. A is incorrect; A loss of VA-20 will result in a loss of power to the #2 ADV from ALL remote locations. The #2 ADV can ONLY be operated locally with the handwheel in manual. (A loss of VR-21 will result in the loss of control to the #2 ADV from C-05. The ADV may then be controlled from C-21.) Plausible because the examinee may think that the Facility 2 components controlled from Hot Shutdown Panel, C-21 are powered from VR-21 or VA-40 and are NOT affected by a loss of VA-20. "B" is incorrect; Control power supply to the Turbine Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump is from DV-20, NOT VA-20; therefore, swapping power supplies will have NO impact on the availability of the Turbine driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump. Plausible because the examinee may not remember that the power supply for the TDAFP is DV-20 NOT VA-20 "D" is incorrect; #2 S/G Steam Supply to the Terry Turbine, MS-202, will be closed to minimize the release of radioactive steam from the Terry Turbine exhaust; however, this action CANNOT be performed in EOP 2525. This action is only performed in EOP 2534, after lowering both hot leg temperatures to <515°F, when isolating the affected S/G.

EOP 2525, Standard Millstone Unit 2 Post Trip Actions Emergency Operating Procedure Technical Guide Page~of 38 Step Number 7 Determine Status of Containment Isolation The intent of the Containment Isolation safety function is to ensure that containment atmospheric conditions are acceptable or that mitigative actions are initiated. INSTRUCTIONS Containment Isolation serves to ensure that radioactivity is contained inside the containment building. The acceptance criteria are designed to check that a normal containment environment exists or that the operator is alerted to an off-normal condition. Containment pressure greater than ttle maximum expected normal containment pressure, high radiation inside or outside containment, or tile steam plant are indications that more than an uncomplicated reactor trip has occurred. CONTINGENCY ACTIONS If a steam plant radiation monitor is in alarm, steps are provided to secure feedwater to the most affect steam generator. Since the steam generator level rises due to the leakage from the RGS, adding additional makeup could result in a potential overfill. Contingency actions are deSigned to ensure that the containment is isolated when containment pressure reaches the CIAS setpoint. Mditionally actuation for SIAS, EBFAS, and MSI are checked, along Vliith the CIAS actuation. Once complete facility of Control Room Air Conditioning (CRAGS) is also checked in service. The CRACS is checked to satisfy the Control Room Habitability Analysis. JUSTIFICATION FOR DEVIATION The EPG checks containment pressure first, then radiation monitors. MP2 checks the radiation monitors first, then containment pressure. The Containment Temperature and Pressure Control and Containment Combustible Gas Control Safety Functions both require the Unit Supervisor to obtain containment pressure. By placing containment pressure last in this Safety Function, it allows the Unit Supervisor to proceed through the next two Safety Functions without having to query the PPO for this information. MP2 adds a step to check radiation monitors outside containment. This would alert the operator of a LOCA occurring outside containment. This is also consistent with the guidance in the EPG for a LOCA. MP2 adds a Con1ingency Action to throttle/isolate feedwater to the most affected steam generator following a SGTR. This action is necessary to prevent a possible overfill of the ruptured steam generator. ~___"_____"___"___._____._______________._____________I Page 12 of 75 Printed on 1/28/2010 at 12:02 SRO Exam Questions Only(Nq'"'Parents" Or "Originals") Question #: 4 Question ID: 9000004 0 RO Ii'J SRO J-SRO Ques. # 4 Rev. 0 ~ Selected for Exam Millstone Unit 2 Emergency Operating Procedure Technical Guide o Student Handout?

By placing containment pressure last in this Safety Function, it allows the Unit Supervisor to proceed through the next two Safety Functions without having to query the PPO for this information. MP2 adds a step to check radiation monitors outside containment. This would alert the operator of a LOCA occurring outside containment. This is also consistent with the guidance in the EPG for a LOCA. MP2 adds a Con1ingency Action to throttle/isolate feedwater to the most affected steam generator following a SGTR. This action is necessary to prevent a possible overfill of the ruptured steam generator. ~ I Page 12 of 75 Printed on 1/28/2010 at 12:02

Justification I B IS CORRECT; AOP 2e*72, Loss of SDC. requires the PEO to first place 51-657 in local manual control to restore cooling to the RC5. 51-657 is a reverse operating valve (i.e., clockwise rotation is open. counterclockwise is close). On a loss of power (VA-10). 51-657 fails closed; therefore, 51-657 must be rotated in the clockwise direction to open it. 51-306 is also a reverse operated valve. 51-306 fails open on a loss of power (\\lA-10), and must be rotated in the counterclockwise direction to throttle it closed. 51-306 is operated last to allow more flow through the SDC Heat Exchangers, if necessary to provide additional cooling flow to the RC5. A is incorrect; The order of local valve operations is incorrect. Although 51-657 fails closed, 51-306 fails open; therefore, there is no need to establish minimum flow protection for the running LPSI Pump. Plausible because the eXlaminee may think that it is more important to initiate flow through the heat exchanger bypass (Total flow Control valve) than to initiate flow through the SDC Heat Exchanger. This may allow for a more controlled initiation of the cooldown. C is incorrect; The order of valve operations is correct; however, the direction of valve rotation is incorrect.

Millstone Unit 2 AOP 2563 Revision 009-07 I~oss of Instrument Air Page 3 of32 1.0 PURPOSE 1..1 O~jccthte This procedure provides the operator with specific steps to be taken follmving a significant drop in instrument air pressure and actions to mitigate the effects of a reactor trip when the Instrument Air System is flot available. 1.1 Discussion This procedure is implemented when instmment air pressure is lowering below normal values. With a complete loss of instrument air, continued steady state plant operation is not possible. The loss of many important controls, such as in the feedwater system, could degrade ph,lnt conditions at the time of a reactor or turbine trip.

With a complete loss of instrument air, continued steady state plant operation is not possible. The loss of many important controls, such as in the feedwater system, could degrade ph,lnt conditions at the time of a reactor or turbine trip.

[-SRO Ques. # 7 Rev. 1 ~ Selected for Exam Origin: New o Past NRC Exam? The reactor is at 100% power with the CEA Motion surveillance in progress. When Group 7 CEA #1 is tested, CEAPDS indicates it inserts two steps, then slips an additional 20 steps. The appropriate actions were tak.en to stabilize RCS temperature and the following conditions were observed:
- Reactor power stable at - 99%.
- Only the Upper Electrical Limit lights for all CEAs are energized on the core mimic.
- CEA #1 indicates 158 steps withdrawn on CEAPDS.
- CEA #1 indicates 178 steps withdrawn on the PPC.
- CEA Motion Inhibit (CMI) alarms on C-04
- CEAPDS Group Deviation indication for CEA #1 Fifty (50) minutes aHer CEA #1 slipped, all required actions per AOP-2556, CEDS Malfunctions, have been completed, includin!~ plant power changes.
Also, I&C reports the circuit malfunction that caused CEA #1 to slip has been repaired and the CEA can now be recovered. Which one of the following describes actions that must be taken to recover CEA #1 and what is the administrative concern of those actions? [J A Pulse counts must be reset to clear the Upper Core Stop and the CMI must be bypassed for CEA recovery. CEA #1 Pulse Count Indication and the CMI will be INOPERABLE while the CEA is being recovered. [J B CEA #1 Upper Electrical Limit must be defeated by lifting a lead and the CMI must be bypassed for CEA recovery. Reed Switch Indication for CEA #1 and the CIVIl will be II\\lOPERABLE while the CEA is being recovered. [J C Pulse counts must be reset to clear the Upper Core Stop and the CMI must be bypassed for CEA recovery. Onlv the CMI will be INOPERABLE while the CEA is being recovered. [~ D CEA #1 Upper Electrical Limit must be defeated by lifting a lead and the CMI must be bypassed for CEA recovery. Only the CMI will be INOPERABLE while the CEA is being recovered. Justification I D - CORRECT; CMI is tri!lgered based on the CEA #1 deviation from the other CEAs in Group 7, therefore it must be bypassed to recover the CEA. When tile CMI is bypassed, it is considered INOPERABLE. Also, the UEL reed switch indicates it is stuck on. This failure is not considered a failure of the CEA Indication System, but does require additional action be taken to recover the CEA. A - WRONG; CEA pulse counting indication is no longer accurate for CEA #1, so it is reset to the actual slipped rod position (based on reed switches) before CEA recovery is attempted. This does not make the pulse counting indication INOPERABLE. Plausible; Examinee may think the reed switch input to the Core Mimic also triggers the Upper Core Stop on the PPC, because Core Mimic reed switches reset the PPC pulse counts and the UCS is armed under the existing conditions. B - WRONG; These are tile correct interlockslinhibits that must be bypass to recover the CEA. However, bypassing the reed switch input to the UEL does not make it INOPERABLE. Plausible; Examinee may think bypassing UEL interlock has same impact as bypassing CMI interlock, especially where I&C "must lift a lead" in the field to bypass the UEL interlock. C - WRONG; The CMI and the UEL interlock must be bypassed to withdraw the slipped CEA. Plausible; Examinee may think bypassing the CMI, which is based on reed switch input, bypasses all interlocks based on reed switch input (including the reed switches that drive the UEL).

The reactor is manually tripped from 100% power due to a Steam Generator Tube Rupture (SGTR). On the trip, the RSST is lost due to grid instabilities. All other systems respond normally. EOP 2525, Standard Post Trip Actions, is entered. What is the direction for controlling the affected SG level during the performance of EOP 2525, Standard Post Trip Actions, !md what is the basis for this direction? A Secure all feedwater to the affected SG. This will provide the maximum volume to accept water from the tube rupturo and still allow a cooldown to 515°F to isolate the affected SG. B Maintain the affected SG level 40 to 70%. This will maintain the SG tube covered to allow a cooldown to 515°F and still maintain adequate volume to accept water from the tube rupture. C Maintain at least 300 gpm feedwater to the affected SG for Heat Removal. The addition of clean water will provide dilution of radioactivity which will lower the release to the environment. ~ 0 Feed the affected SG to maintain level 40 to 45%. This will cover the SG tube to allow for Iodine scrubbing and still allow adequate volume to accept water from the tube rupture. ,Justification I D IS CORRECT; If Stearn Plant Radiation Monitors are in alarm, EOP 2525 requires feed flow to maintained to the SG with the hi~lhest radiation reading to maintHin level 40 to 45%. The lower limit of 40% is above the top of the tubes. Keeping the tubes covered allows for Iodine scrubbing and IiTlits the gaseous release to the environment (The loss of off-site power results in a loss of condenser vacuum which requires the use of the ADVs for heat removal control). The upper limit of 45% allows for a significant volume to accept water from the RCS throu!Jh the broken tube(s). A is incorrect; Feedwater should NOT be secured to the affected SG until after the cooldown to 515°F, The addition of feedwater allows for Iodine scrubbinu and limits the radioactive release to the environment. Plausible because, up until a few years ago, feedwater ~ secured to the affected SG immediately after a SGTR was diagnosed. B is incorrect. If affected SG level is maintained higher than 45%, then subsequent leakage into the SG from the RCS may result in overfilling the SG and could ultimately result in radioactive water being discharged out the affected SG ADV to the environment. Plausible because the normal post trip SG level is 40 to 70%. C is incorrect. While it is true that the addition of feedwater will provide additional Iodine scrubbing and dilution of radioactive contaminants, too much feedwater flow will result in overfilling the SG and could ultimately result in radioactive water being discharged out the affected SG ADV to the environment. Plausible because EOP 2:525 requires feeding the unaffected (or least affected) SG at greater than 300 gpm.

Due to current MSSY blowdowll setpoinls (- 880 psia), it is possible for MSSV(s) to be open post-trip when the steam dumps are not available AND have SO pressure within the normal control band. To assess if a MSSV is actually stuck open, it is recommended the CO adjust ADY automatic sctpoint( s) to the lower end of the control ban(.1. Additionally, temperature outside the Ilormal band should also be llsed to assess it stuck open MSSV.

IfTe is less than 53()°F, the operator should determine iffcedwatcr flow is excessivl..~ to one or both SGs and adjust or isolate fcedwatcr flow as required. The operator should determine if the cause of the excessive flow is d lie to control system malfunction (e.g., FRY not closing on the trip or FRY bypass valves not at the rc()uired position following the trip), or due to leedwater flow to a SG blowing down from an ESDE. In the case of I11Cllfunctioning equipment. the operator should attempt to au.just feedwater flow manually, since a c{)mponent failure should not result in the loss of a SG for heal removal. The operator is required to isolate AFW to the affected SG within 30 minutes following the generation of MSI$ during an ESDE. For scenarios where isolation is not possible from the Control Room. allowance must be made for local operation of FW-43A(B) or FW-44. It has been validated that it will lake approximately 15 minutes to dose FW-43A(B) or FW-44 locally. Therefore. isolation of AFW to an affected steam gene;ator, from the control room, must be attempted within IS minutes of a MS1S.

An RCS ChE!mistry sample taken at 100% power indicates 6 micro-curies/gram DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131. Which of the following describes the required action and the basis for that action? With the specific activity of the primary coolant> 1.0 micro-curies/gram DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131, be IJ A in COLD SHUTDOWN within 36 hours after detection. Isotopic analysis of the primary coolant must be perforrr,ed once per hour when activity of the primary coolant> 1.0 micro-curies/gram DOSE EQUIVALENT !-131. The hourly sampling period allows time to obtain and analyze a sample. There is a low probability of a steam Hne bresik or S/G tube rupture in the next 36 hours and there is significant conservatism built into the RCS specific activity limit. Wittl the specific activity of the primary coolant> 1.0 micro-curies/gram DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131, I~ B verify DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131 ~ 60 micro-curies/gram once per 4 hours. Operation may continue for up to 48 hours while efforts are made to restore DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131 to within the 1.0 micro curies/gram limit. The 4 hour sampling period allows time to obtain and analyze a sample. There is a low probability of a steam line breSik or S/G tube rupture in the next 48 hours and it is expected that normal coolant Iodine concentration would be restored within 48 hours. C With the specific activity of the primary coolant> 1.0 micro-curies/gram DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131, be in HOT STANDBY within 6 hours from the time of detection and in COLD SHUTDOWN within 48 hours from the time of detection. The allowed completion times are reasonable to reach the required plant conditions from full power in an orderly manner and prevent exceeding the radiological release limit at the site boundary from an assumed LOCI!\\. o With the specific activity of the primary coolant> 1.0 micro-curies/gram DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131, lower the RCS specific activity to ~ 1.0 micro-curies/gram DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131 within the next 36 hours or be in HOT STANDBY within the following 6 hours. It is expected tllat normal coolant Iodine concentration would be restored within 36 hours. If not, adequate time is provided to achieve HOT STANDBY to prevent exceeding Control Room dose limits from an assumed LOCA.

The Basis for TS 3.4.8 states: With the DOSE ECIUIVALENT 1-131 greater than the LCO limit, samples at intervals of 4 hours must be taken to demonstr,ate that the specific activity is::: 60 micro-curies/gram. Four hours is required to obtain and analyze a sample. Sampling is continued every 4 hours to provide a trend. The DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131 must be restored to within limit within 48 hours. The completion time of 48 hours is ac:ceptable since it is expected that, if there were an Iodine spike, normal coolant Iodine concentration would be restored within this time period. Also, there is a low probability of a SLB or SGTR occurring during this time period.
A is incorrect; TSAS 3.4.8 does not require the plant to achieve COLD SHUTDOWN within 36 hours. Plausible because several other Tech Spec Action Statements require the plant to achieve COLD SHUTDOWN within 36 hours (Example: Containment Integrity, TSAS 3.6.1.1).

A plant heatup has just been started and the following conditions presently exist: - RCS Temperature is at 205°F and slowly rising. - RCS pressure is stable at the minimum allowed for "A" and "8" RCP operation. - "A" and "8" RCPs have just been started. - Shutdown Cooling has just been secured. - "C" and "0" RCP breakers have just been racked up. Then, the "8" RCP trips when the breaker's overcurrent relay actuated due to being jarred while movin~, staging (NOT an actual overcurrent condition). Which of the following actions is the correct response under the present conditions? ." A Immediately secure the "A" RCP, raise RCS pressure, then start "C" and "0" RCPs. B Immediately place Shutdown Cooling back in operation, then secure the "A" RCP. C Immediately start "c" and "0" RCPs, then secure the "A" RCP. D Immediately start the "c" RCP and operate it with the "A" RCP. Justification I A - CORRECT; The NPSH required pressure for "A" & "S" RCPs is based on both pumps operating, therefore, the "A" RCP must be immediately secured. With a plant heatup in operation, OP-2201 states RCS pressure should be raised as required to allow for the start of the available RCPs, then they should be started. S - WRONG; If NPSH requirements are not met, the RCP should be immediately secured. Plausible; Would be chmlen if avoiding the loss all RCS flow (violation of Tech. Specs.) is considered above possible RCP dama~le. C - WRONG; The NPSH required pressure for "A" & "S" RCPs is less than that for "C" & "0" RCPs (see OP-2201, Attach. 2 & 3). If the RCS pressure is at the minimum allowed for "A" & "S" RCP operation (initial conditions), it must be below the minimum required pressure for "C" & "0" Rep operation. Plausible; Would be chosen if "CO & "0" RCP NPSH required pressure is believed to be lower than "A" & "S" RCPs. D - WRONG; Two pump operation is specific to the applicable pumps as one pump aids in the NPSH requirements of the other. Plausible; Would be chosen if two pump operation is known, but believed to be any two RCPs operating simultaneously. References I OP-2301, Pg. 24; Caution and Pg. 68; Attach. 6, Conditional Actions.

" C02/3 annunciator in alarm; C-38, "PRESSURIZER CH X LEVEL LO-LO", " PPC alarms on Monitor #2 indicative of the instrument failure. Which of tile following actions must the Unit Supervisor direct and why? ~ A Per the ARP for C-38; shift pressurizer heater control to channel "Y" and restore pressurizer heaters, to ensure adequate margin from DNB is maintained. B Per SP-2602A RCS Leakage; deselect Pressurizer Level ChannellX" from the leak rate calculation, to ensure valid trending of RCS Leak Rate by the PPC. D C Per the ARP for A-38; place the standby charging pumps in "Pull-To-Lock", to prevent the rate of the plant clownpower from accelerating above 50%/hr. D D Per AOP-257S, Rapid Downpower; shift pressurizer heater control to channel "Y" and restore the pressure controller setpoint, to prevent a plant trip on TM/LP. 'Ju;tificaticm I A - CORRECT: Even though Ch. "Y" is the controlling channel of PZR pressure, Ch. "X" failing to zero will trip all PZR heaters. The heater control switch must be selected to ignore the failed channel and the heater breakers must be manually reclosed (they will not auto close even though the automatic controls are calling for more heater output). If this is action is not taken in a very timely manner, RCS pressure will drop below the minimum required by Tech. Spec. to ensure adequate DNB margin, due to the lower pressure control setpoint necessary to "Fc)rcing PZR Sprays". B - WRONG: The high r<lte of power change exceeds the PPC program capabilities for calculating an accurate RCS leak rate. Plausible: The failed PZH instrument could impact the RCS leak rate calculation and potentially be of concern if the rate of power change were less. C - WRONG: The failed instrument effects heaters only and has no effect on the standby pumps. Plausible: The alarms received for this failure would be identical to those received had the instrument been aligned to automatically start the standby charging pumps, as implied by the ARP. If this occurred, the rate of power drop would accelerate dramatically. D - WRONG: All PZR heaters are effected by this failure, not just the Backup heaters (as in a loss of control power). Restoring the setpoint to a normal setting will not recover RCS pressure and the plant will trip on TM/LP. Plausible: Although the AOP gives guidance to force sprays, it does not allow for heater recovery on a failed channel. OP-2204, Load Changes contains the detailed guidance used by operators globally to commence, and secure from, forcing pressurizer sprays. However, this guidance simply states to adjust controller setpoint, as necessary, to maintain pressure at the desired value.

- Core re-Ioad in progress and approximately half way completed.
- "A" LPSI pump running for Shutdown COOling (SDC) operation.
- "B" LPSI pump in standby, aligned for SDC use.
- "A" train of SpEint Fuel Pool (SFP) cooling in service.
Then, "A" LPSI pump is lost due to a breaker fault. When the "B" LPSI pump is started, it seizes and trips on breaker overload. The Unit Supervisor (US) then directs the RO to recover SDC using the "B" Containment Spray (CS) pump. Which of tile following additional directions must the US give, while SDC flow is being supplied by a CS pump? ~ A All fuel movement in containment must remain secured. B SDC supplementing of SFP cooling must be secured. C Containment must remain evacuated of non-essential personnel. D Contarnment Closure must be fully set with all access doors closed. 'Justification J A - CORRECT; When SDC is being supplied by a CS pump, does not constitute an OPERABLE train of SDC. Therefore, ali fuel movement in CTMT must be secured. B - WRONG; A CS pum p has the capacity to supply SDC flow and supplement SFP cooling, but just barely, if a train of SFP cooling is in operation. Plausible; Examinee melY believe with the limited capacity of a CS pump (compared to a LPSI pump), supplementing SFP cooling is not possible (it would not be at the beginning of the outage). C - WRONG; GTMT evacuation would probably occur if a CS pump needed to be used for recovery as is required if SDC flow cannot be restored in 15 minutes. However, once the CS pump restores flow, evacuation is no longer necessary. Plausible; Examinee may realize SDC is not considered fully operational being supplied by a CS pump and, therefore, require evacuation of CTMT be maintained. This is true if a plant heatup to over 190°F occurs. D - WRONG; CTMT Clcsure must be set on initial loss of SDC flow, but once heat removal is regained, it may stop.

The requimd survEliliance is being preformed on the "A" Service Water Strainer Flush Valve, 2-SW-90A. The data indicates the valve stroke time is slightly above the Maximum 'Normal Limit", but is within the Operational Readiness Results (aka; Acceptable Limits). Which of the following describes the condition of the "A" Service Water Strainer Flush Valve, 2-SW-90A and the required action? A The "A" ServiGe Water Strainer Flush Valve, 2-SW-90A is considered inoperable. Perform the required repairs to the "A" Service Water Strainer Flush Valve, 2-SW-90A, then perform the required surveillances to restore the "A" Service Water Strainer Flush Valve, 2*SW-90A to OPERABLE. B The "A" Service Water Strainer Flush Valve, 2-SW-90A is considered inoperable. Obtain a different set of test equipment and immediately retest the "A" Service Water Strainer Flush Valve, 2-SW-90A, to verify that the previous data was accurate. C The "A" Service Water Strainer Flush Valve, 2-SW-90A is considered OPERABLE. Place the "A" Service Water Strainer in an Augmented Testing Program and test weekly to ensure the "A" Service Water Strainel" Flush Valve, 2-SW-90A, remains OPERABLE. ~ 0 The "P," Service Water Strainer Flush Valve, 2-SW-90A is considered OPERABLE. If the "An Service Water Strainel-Flush Valve, 2-SW-90A, falls outside the Normal Limits on an immediate retest, then the nAil Servic!~ Water Strainer Flush Valve, 2-SW-90A is inoperable. Justification I o IS CORRECT; Per SF' 2612A, "An Service Water Pump Tests, Attachment 2, the first failure of a valve stroke test to be within the "Normal" limits does not render that component inoperable; however, an immediate retest must be performed. If a second failure of "Normal" stroke time limit has occurred. then the component is inoperable. A is incorrect; Even though the Service Water valve did not meet the "Normal" limit criteria it may be considered OPERABLE; however, a second set of data must be taken. Repairs are NOT required due to a failure on the first test. Plausible because the examinee may consider the component inoperable from the first set of failed data. If the component is considered inoperable, then typically, a component must be repaired to restore it to OPERABLE. B is incorrect; Even though the Service Water Pump did not meet the "Normal" limit criteria the surveillance procedure allows it to be considered OPERABLE. Different test equipment may be obtained to verify the previous data. Plausible because the el!aminee may consider the component inoperable from the first set of failed data. Verifying previous data with different test equipment is allowed by procedure and is correct. C is incorrect; The surveillance procedure allows the Service Water valve to be considered OPERABLE. The Service Water valvH may be tested on a more freqlJent basis; however, the stoke time must be performed immediately after the initial failure to ensure it meets the "Normal" limit. Plausible because the el!aminee may not be aware of the need to immediately perform a second stoke time test.

The plant is in MODE 6 with the following conditions: - Fuel movement is in progress. - The Personnel Airlock Doors are open - The EqUipment Hatch is open. - Containment Purge is in operation. - Containment Atmosphere Radiation Monitor, RM-8123, is out of service for repairs. The Auxiliary Building PEO has just reported that the blower for Containment Atmosphere Radiation Monitor, RM-8262, has tripped and is very hot to the touch. Which of the following actions must be taken and why? D A Immediately suspend CORE ALTERATIONS and establish Containment Closure prior to resuming fuel movement, to ensure a potential fuel handling accident in Containment is NOT released to the environment. D B Immediately suspend CORE ALTERATIONS and restore the Radiation Monitor blower prior to resuming fuel movement, to ensure a potential fuel handling accident in Containment is NOT released to the environment. ." C Ensure a control room operator is specifically assigned to close the Containment Purge Valves within 30 minutes of an event, to ensure Containment Closure is reestablished in case of a fuel handling accident in Containment. D Restore the Containment Purge Valves to OPERABLE status within the next 30 minutes or immediately close the Pur~le Valves, to ensure Containment Closure is reestablished in case of a fuel handling accident in Containment. Justification I C IS CORRECT; TS 3.9.4 requires that Containment Purge Valves either be closed by an automatic isolation or be capable of being closed under administrative control. This means that a specific individual is designated as available to close the Purge Valves within 30 minutes of a fUl~1 handlin!;} aCCident in Containment. A is incorrE~ct; GORE ALTERATIONS do NOT need to be suspended and Containment Closure is still available. Plausible if the examineE! believes that the Purge Valves need to be closed by an automatic isolation signal. (Only one Containment Radiation Monitor needs to be OPERABLE to initiate and automatic closure of all 4 Purge valves.) The examinee may also believe that the loss of the only remaining Radiation Monitor (and automatic isolation of the Purge Valves) results in a loss of Containment Closure. (Containment Closure ffilJSt be set Q[ available during CORE ALTERATIONS.) B is incorrect; CORE ALTERATIONS do NOT need to be suspended; however, it would be appropriate to have the Radiation Monitor blower repaired. Plausible if the examineE! believes that the Purge Valves need to be closed by an automatic isolation signal. D is incorrect. In MODE 6, the Purge Valves are still conSidered OPERABLE even if they are NOT able to be closed by an automatic isolation signal. Plausible because Tech Spec 3.6.3.1 requires each Containment Isolation Valve to be OPERABLE (in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4).

The plant was at 1 00% power when CONVEX ordered Main Generator output be lowered from 900 MWe to 600 MWe in 15 minutes. AOP 2557, "Emer~lency Generation Reduction", was initiated and the following conditions now exist:
- Group 7 CEAs are at 170 steps withdrawn.
- Main Generator output is 610 MWe and slowly lowering.
- "A" Steam Dump Bypass Valve is 75% open and stable.
- "BYPASS TO eND", PIC-4216 output is 83% and stable.
- "B", "C" and "0" Steam Dump Bypass Valves are open 75% and stable.
- "STEAM DUMP TAVG CNTL", TIC-4165 output is 85% and stable.
- "RC LOOP 1 COLD LEG TEMP HI" annunciator has just alarmed (C02/3; C-34).

I **************** I ************ A Transfer control of the steam dumps to Foxboro IA control and lower Tcold to program. ~ B Lower the setpoint on the "A" steam dump and log into the DNB Technical Specification. C Immediately trip the reactor and go to EOP 2525, "Standard Post Trip Actions". D Insert CEAs until Tcold is back on program and both C02/3 alarms have cleared. Justification. J B - CORRECT; Turbine load has been lowered ahead of the "A" Steam Dump Valve controller setpolnt, as indicated by TIC-4165 output being higher than PIC-4216. Therefore, raising the output of PIC-4216 to open the "A" steam dump is the most immediate action to restore Temperature to program. This is an expected possible action if the setpoint on PIC-4216 is not lowered enough initially. However, Tcold is already above the DNB Tech. Spec. limit, so the LCO must be entered. A - WRONG; Transferrirg the "A" steam dump to Foxboro IA control would immediately fail the valve closed, making things far worse. Plausible: This action is prudent if upon initiation of the procedure, it was noted the controller on C05 was not responding properly. The indications given show the C05 controller may not be operating correctly, when in fact, the setpoint must be lowered to ensure the "A" steam dump stays aheac of the other 3 valves. C - WRONG; AOP 2557 requires RCS temperature to be maintained within 10°F of program or a plant trip is required. AOP 2557 maintains reactor power Gonstant, therefore, Tcold should be -545°F per Attachment 1. RPS indication (and C02/3 alarms) indicate Tcold is >/=549'F, which is < 10°F above program value. Plausible; If plant power level is extracted from the Main Generator output, then Tcold should be -540°F. This would mean that Tcold is > 10°F above the program value and a trip is required. 0- WRONG; Driving in CEAs will lower RCS temperature by lowering reactor power but, RCS temperature is "out-of-program" because generator load reduction was not controlled properly. Plausible: This is an acceptable action if temperature is out of band due to turbine load reduction being ahead of reactor power reduction. However, reactor power is not being reduced, by procedure.

The plant is in normal operation at 100% power, when a Fire System Trouble annunciator is received on C06/7 and Zone 45 on Fire Panel, C-26. The Auxiliary Building PEO subsequently calls from the West DC Switchgear Room and reports the following: " One Ion Chamber smoke detector is in alarm. " The Halon strobe lights and horn are pulsating slowly. " AI! other smokl3 detectors are operating normally (not in alarm). " There is no smoke or fire in the area. The detector appears to have failed. Which of the following describes the impact of the above conditions, and the direction the US will give? A The Fire Suppression system is alarming as a warning of a potential for a discharge. Per TRM 3.7.9.4, "Halon Fire Suppression System", provide backup fire suppression and establish a fire watch, when the room has cleared. ~ B The Fire Suppression system is alarming as a warning of a potential for a discharge. Per TRM 3.3.3.7, "Fire Detection Instrumentation", the Zone 45 fire detection system is inoperable and a fire watch must be established. C The Fire Suppression system is warning that a discharge will occur after a timer countdown. Per TRM 3.7.9.4, "Halon Fire Suppression System", provide backup fire suppression and establish a fire watch, when ':he room has cleared. D The Fire Suppression system is warning that a discharge will occur after a timer countdown. Per TRM 3.3.3.i', "Fire Detection Instrumentation", the Zone 45 fire detection system is inoperable, establish a fire watch, when the room has cleared. Justification I B - CORRECT; The East and West DC switchgear rooms require two zones (one photoelectric smoke detector and one ion smoke detector) to initiate a halon release. Activation of one smoke detector zone, ion or photoelectric, will cause the strobe and horn to pulse slowly. However, the TRM requires all detectors to be functioning or the system is inoperable A - WRONG; The Halon system is not made inoperable because the detection system has a failure. Plausible; Examinee may think that due to the "false" activation of a sensor, the system should be prevented from any subsequent activation and the Halon system can no longer trigger. C - WRONG; Activation of a second smoke detector of the opposite type, but in the same room, will cause the strobe and horns for the affected room to pulse ClUICKL Y. The flashing lights will operate, and a 60 second pre-discharge time delay will begin. Upon expiration of the time delay the Halon System will discharge and the strobe and horn will sound steadily. Plausible; Examinee may think that the SLOWLY pulsating horn and strobe light warn of a timer countdown to discharge halon, in which case, the Halon s~'stem would then be inoperable and this action would be correct. D - WRONG; Only one detector failing in the activate mode would cause the given alarms. Plausible; Examinee may think that the pulsating horn and strobe lights indicate that the failed detector has caused a full system malfunction and a discharge is imminent. If the system were actually triggered due to multiple detector failures, this would be the correct choice. References I

While operating at Beginning of Life (BOL), 100% power, the "A" Main Feed Pump high vibration annunciator alarmed. After subsequent investigation and troubleshooting, the System Engineer and Maintenance agree that the pump must be removed from service within the next 60 minutes to prevent severe damage. The crew has just entered AOP 2575, Rapid Down power. Which of the following statements describes the method that must be utilized to perform this evolution? A Use Reactivity Plan RE-G-08 to reduce power to 70%, then transition to OP 2208, Attachment 5, Reactivity Thumbrules, to continue the power reduction to 55% to secure the Feed Pump. o B Use Reactivity Plan RE-G-05 until 90% power, then transition to AOP 2575, Attachment 7, Boration/Power Reduction Rates to continue the power reduction to 55% to secure the Feed Pump. ~ C Use Reactivity Plan RE-G-11 to reduce power to 55%, secure the Feed Pump, then raise power to the appropriate level using OP 2204, Load Changes, and a new Reactivity Plan. o Use Reactivity Plan RE-G-10 to reduce power to 55%, secure the Feed Pump, then transition to OP 2393, Core Power Distribution and Monitoring, to maintain ASI. justjfil::~ii~n I C IS CORRECT: Reactivity Plan RE-G-11 provides the Boration rate and CEA insertion required to down power to 55% within the one hour time constraint. OF> 2322, Main Feedwater, requires power to be at or less than 55% to remove the first Main Feed Pump from service. This reactivity plan also provides the dilution rate to maintain power at 55% to compensate for Xenon. OP 2322, Main Feedwater. provides guidance to raise power as high as 75% once the affected Main Feed Pump is secured. As a result, a new reactivity plan must be developed to allow raising power. A is incorrect; Reactivity Plan RE-G-08 only provides Boration rate and CEA Insertion required to downpower to 70%. Although OP 2208, Attachment 5. provides guidance for maintaining power with changing reactivity conditions (e.g., Xenon), AOP 2575 providl~s direction for use of a reactivity plan appropriate for the evolution being performed. Plausible because this guidance is adequate to reduce power to 70%. OP 2322 provides guidance on continued operation with one Main Feed Pump up to 7'5% power. Examinee may think that a feed pump can be removed from service at less than or equal to 75%. B is incorrect; Reactivity Plan RE-G-05 only provides Boration rate and CEA Insertion required to downpower to 90%. Although AOP 2575, AttachMent 7, provides guidance for reducing power if a reactivity plan is not available, guidance exists for use of a reactivity plan appropriate for the evolution being performed. Plausible because this guidance is adequate to remove the feed pump from service, but does not provide the complete guidance for reactivity control after thl~ pump is secured. D is incorrect; Reactivity Plan RE-G-10 provides guidance on reducing power to 55%; however, the reduction rate will NOT allow the Feed Pump to be remov*sd from service in the required 60 minute time limit. OP 2393 provides guidance for maintaining ASI control with CEAs, but this guidance does NOT take into consideration the amount of Boric Acid to used to counteract Xenon. Plausible because this mactivity plan will allow performance of the down power to remove the Main Feed Pump from service, but it does NOT allow reducing power fast enough to meet the 60 minute time limit. The examinee may mistakenly assume that the reactivity plan does NOT include the effects of Xenon; therefore, the power reduction rate would actually be higher than indicated on RE-G-10.

Which of U,e following actions require authorization by the Refueling SRO? o A When the grapple will NOT disengage the top of a fuel assembly, snap or twang the hoist cable to release the grapple. When an overload occurs, use the hand crank on the refuel machine hoist to free the fuel assembly OB from the guidE! pins. Oc In an emergency, insert a fuel assembly into the core and ungrapple it provided NO other fuel assemblies are adjacent. Ii'l D If an underload occurs prematurely, raise the fuel assembly, pull the mast detent pin, rotate slightly, and reinsert the assembly. Justification I o IS CORRECT; OP 22D9A, Attachment 3, provides a listing of SRO responsibilities. Included is statement that requires authorization from the Refuel SRO to perform various action contained in Attachment 4. Under "Difficulty Inserting", the Refueling SRO is responsible for authorizing the Mast Detent Pin to be pulled. If necessary, he/she may also authorize a slight rotation of the mast to allow inserting a fuel assembly. A is incorrect..A. Cautior in Attachment 4 states, "Snapping or twanging the hoist cable is prohibited." However, the cable may be manipulated or pulled and gently released to eliminate a grapple hang-up. Plausible because the examinee may be confused about what actually constitutes a hoist cable manipulation. B is incormct; While Attachment 4 allows the Refuel SRO to authorize several actions to free a fuel assembly (seen as an overload), manually manipulating the cable hoist is NOT one of them. The refuel machine may be moved in either horizontal plane to free an assembly. Plausible because Attacllment 4 allows the Refuel SRO to authorize movement of the refuel machine manually (hand crank) in either horizontal direction, just NOT in the vertical direction. C is incorrect; A fuel as~;embly cannot be left unsupported, even in an emergency.

The plant is operating at 1 00% power when ISO New England and CONVEX operators notify Millstone Station that a "Deg.raded Voltage" condition exists. Voltage on the 4.16 kV buses is presently 3,900 volts. Based on this information, which one of the following describes actions that the Unit Supervisor must direct, per the applicable procedures? D A Rack out the 6.9 and 4.16 kV breakers to the RSST and slow-start both Emergency Diesel Generators. ~ B Terminate surveillance testing of any safety related pumps and motors and secure them, if possible. C Commence a plant down power and secure all unnecessary equipment as the lower power permits. D In anticipation of a plant trip, ensure "E" & "F" lACs are operating in the "Lead" and "Standby" modes.

B CORRECT; To limit the risk of damage to safety related motor windings due to the higher current flows that would be expected, all unnecessary running of t1ese components must be terminated. A - WRONG; The RSST breakers are not disabled until voltage drops below 88.9% of rated voltage. The EDG are verified as running only if the RSST is in service. Plausible; Examinee may believe that in order to prevent transferring to the RSST, which is getting power from a degraded grid voltage, the RSST breakl9rs must be disabled so they will NOT close on a possible plant trip. Also, prestaging the EDGs with a "slow start" would put minimum stress on the machines which are destined to carry all plant AC loads. However, this action is premature and over conservative for the given conditions. C - WRONG; The applicable AOP Does not direct a plant down power be commenced as the loss of power to the grid is a far worse impact than any gains by securing equipment. Plausible; Examinee may believe that because the applicable AOP directs that unnecessary loads be secured to help with the degraded voltage, and a trip from a lower power level is preferred, that lowering power to allow securing of components is logical. D WRONG; The restart of the vital Instrument Air Compressors is handled by EOP-2525 post-trip. There is no benefit to prestaging their alignment as they must be locally "reset" on a loss of power regardless. Plausible; Examinee may realize that on a probable trip from loss of the grid, Instrument Air recovery will require operator action, as the compressor that is normally running is not vitally powered. Therefore, in order to ensure Instrument Air remains available (and a Vital Auxiliary Safety Function is preserved), the prestaging of the IA compressor alignment is a logical action.

The plant was operating normally at 100% power with ReS coolant activity at the maximum allowed limit due to known fuel defects. The crew manually tripped the plant due to rapidly lowering Pressurizer pressure and level. EOP 2525, Standard post Trip Actions, was successfully performed and the crew has entered EOP 2534, Steam Gem~rator Tube Rupture. Why does this pro::::edure require the crew to perform a cooldown on both Steam Generators until both hot leg temperatures are less than or equal to 515°F prior to isolating the affected Steam Generator? A The cooldown can be performed quicker with both SIG allowing earlier isolation of the affected S/G. B If the affected SIG is isolated prior to a cooldown, then increasing radiation levels in the affected SIG will result in a higher release later. e The initial cooldown will Significantly lower the affected SIG level resulting in more available volume for the coolant from the tube rupture. ~ D To limit the radiation release due to the potential for lifting the Main Steam Safeties on the affected S/G. Justification I D IS CORRECT; The Tochnical Basis for this step simply states that this is the reason for doing the cool down to 515"F before iSDlating theSG. A is incorrect; While the cool down can be performed more quickly on two steam Generators versus one Steam Generator, this is, NOT the reason for the cool down to 515°F. Plausible because this is a true statement; however, it answers the question, "Why use two Steam generators to cool down?" It does NOT answer the question, "Why cool down to 515"F?" B is incorrect; If the affected Steam Generator were isolated prior to the cooldown, radiation levels would actually be lower later. The higher Steam Generator pressure would limit the leakage of coolant from the RCS to the Steam Generator, resulting in lower activity levels in the affected Steam Generator. Plausible because the examinee could think that activity levels in the affected Steam Generator would continue to rise resulting in higher activity levels on H later release. C is incorrect; A potentililly true statement, but it is NOT the reason for cooling down to 515"F with both Steam Generators.

The plant is stable at 100% power with the Turbine Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump out of service for planned maintenance. Then, the plant trips due to a loss of off site power (state wide blackout), resulting in the following conditions: - The "A" Main Steam header ruptures in containment on the trip. - Busses 24B and 24D are de-energized due to a bus fault on 24D. - Facility One SIAS, CIAS, EBFAS, MSI and CSAS have all fully actuated. - All feedwater has been secured to the #1 Steam Generator (SG). - All other plant systems and components that have power are functioning as designed. The crew is evaluating numerous alarms and indications caused by the power loss and subsequent ESD. Which of the following alarm indications will require actions to be taken in EOP 2525? f;;j' C-05 alarms indicating a Excess Steam Demand on the #1 SG, and C-08 alarm indicating VR-21 is de A energized. C-02/2, alarms indicating RCS temperatures are abnormally low and dropping, and both Boric Acid B Pumps are de-energized. C-05 alarms indicating both SG levels abnormally low, and only one Aux. Feedwater pump is feeding C just thl3 #2 SGt. C-01 alarms indicating CTMT Spray has actuated, and C-01 indicating only two CAR fans and one CS D pump are operating. Justification 1 A - CORRECT; All alarms and indications mentioned in the four choices are expected for the given event, a loss of the RSST and 240, with a subsequent ESD em the "Au Main Steam header. VR-21 is deenergized based on the loss of 240. This will prevent the "S" Atmospheric Dump VaIVI~ (ADV) from being operated from the control room (after about 10 minutes) and the ESD in the Enclosure building prevents local operation. Therefore, immediate action is required to get an operator to C21 (Remote Shutdown Panel) to control RCS temperaturE' when the affected SG boils dry (thus preventing PTS). S - WRONG; This gives indication of an excessive cooldown of the RCS with a potential problem with boric acid injection. However, the other facility of power is available to allow automatic alignment of a boric acid source to the remaining charging pump, which is sufficient (although not optimum) to meet "reactivity control". Plausible; Procedure steps will give guidance to align additional boron injection, but this is above the required amount. C - WRONG; Auxiliary Feedwater will feed enough to recover level in the unaffected steam generator, by design. Plausible; The SG levels are abnormal compared to an uncomplicated trip due to volume shrinkage from the ESD. Procedures give guidance to start additional AFW pumps, as necessary (none available in this case) to return SG levels to the operating band (40..70%). However, the only available option with the given conditions is "Once-Through-cooling", which can not be done in EOP-2525. 0- WRONG; One facility of CTMT Cooling and Pressure Control is certainly NOT optimum during and ESD, but it is designed to be sufficient to maintain CTIIIIT Integrity, provided all feed is secured to the affected SG in the required time frame. Plausible; Procedure givl~s guidance to repower and start all available ESAS components. However, this is not reguired to prevent exceeding a design limit.
