A INCORRECT A reactor trip has NOT occurred. Panel XCP-615, 3-2 only requires 1 out of 3 channels to cause it to actuate. For a reactor trip to have occurred, 2 out of 3 channels would have had to trip which would have also caused Annunciator Point 3-5, OTAT, on Panel XCP-626 to actuate. Additionally, operators would not enter ATWS until after taking manual actions to trip the reactor and those actions had failed as well.

B INCORRECT A reactor trip should NOT have occurred. Panel XCP-615, 3-2 only requires 1 out of 3 channels to cause it to actuate. For a reactor trip to have occurred, 2 out of 3 channels would have had to trip which would have also caused Annunciator Point 3-5, OTAT, on Panel XCP-626 to actuate.

C INCORRECT A Turbine Runback and Rod Withdrawal Stop should not have occurred.

While Panel XCP-61 5, 3-2 only requires 1 out of 3 channels to cause it to actuate, for a Turbine Runback and Rod Withdrawal Stop to have occurred, 2 out of 3 channels would have had to trip which also could not have happened without causing both Annunciator Points 1-4 & 1-5, OTAT AUTO TURB RUNBCK W/DRWL BLCK, on Panel XCP-621 to actuate.

D CORRECT An excessive load increase would have caused this annunciator to actuate.

Although a number of other probable causes could have actuated this annunciator, each would have actuated other annunciators.

4. OO3AK1.17 002/1/2/DROPPED ROD/M (2.9/3. 1)/N/SM0530 1/R/MC/SDR The plant is operating in Mode 1 at 100% power when a rod drop occurs.

Which ONE of the following describes the effect in the area around the dropped rod?

A. Fuel temperature coefficient becomes more negative.

B.

Fuel temperature coefficient becomes less negative.

C.

Control rod worth increases.

D.

Power defect becomes more negative.

Feedback D ISTRACTORS:

A CORRECT Negative reactivity is added to the core with the rod drop causing the fission rate to decrease and produce less heat in the fuel. The fuel temperature coefficient is the reactivity change that results from a change in the resonance cross section of the fuel due to a change of fuel temperature. As the temperature of the fuel decreases, the resonance peaks increase and the base of the peaks become more narrow. Although the total area under the curve stays the same, the number of neutrons in this region decreases.

This results in less neutrons being lost to the fission process through resonance absorption.

B INCORRECT FueT temperature coefficient becomes more negative.

C INCORRECT Control rod worth decreases.

D INCORRECT Power defect becomes less negative.

During preparations to return the unit to power operations, the MSIVs fail to open when their control switches are taken to OPEN. The unit is currently in MODE 3 with steam pressure downstream of the MSIVs at 1080 psig and Tavg at 557°F.

Which one of the following is the cause for the MSIVs failure to open?

A.

The differential pressure across the MSIVs is excessive.

B.

The MSIV bypass valves are CLOSED.

C.

The Instrument Air header pressure is 75 psig.

D/ The Main Steam Isolation signal has not been reset.

Feedback DISTRACTORS:

A INCORRECT With pressure downstream of the MSIVs at 1080 psig and Tavg at 557°F (a SG saturation pressure of about 1104 psia), pressure across the MSIVs is essentially equal.

B INCORRECT MSIVs will not open unless the differential pressure across their seats is equalized. Although the bypass valves are normally opened in order to equalize pressure across the seats of the MSIVs, there is not an interlock between the two. The distractor is plausable in that an operator might confuse the operational aspect with an assumed interlock.

C INCORRECT The valves fail close when instrument air header pressure (or pressure felt on the MSIV actuator diaphram) drops to a certain level. While the actual value at which the valves will shut is probably < 60 psig, a value of 75 psi 9

was chosen since it is lower than normal and will have caused both the standby Station Instrument Air Compressor to start as well as the Supplemental Instrument Air Compressor but is above 70 psig which may confuse operators as it places the plant in AOP-220.1, Loss of Instrument Air.

D CORRECT To open a MSIV after it has received an isolation signal, the signal must be reset by operating the trains A and B RESET pushbuttons.

- The plant is at 90% rated thermal power

- All controls are in their normal configuration

- VCT level is at 38%

Which ONE of the following correctly describes how the plant would respond if VCT Level Transmitter LT-115 were to fail high with no operator intervention?

Av VCT level would lower until the VCT was approximately empty.

B.

VCT level would lower to approximately 5% and stabilize.

C.

VCT rate of level decrease would remain unchanged from the pre-event rate of decrease.

D.

VCT level would lower to approximately 20% and then begin to rise.

Feedback K/A MATCH ANALYSIS:

The K/A requires testing knowledge of VCT level monitoring skills in conjunction with a loss of VCT makeup. LT-115 failing high would create a situation where LID would be diverted and auto makeup would not occur. The question is testing knowledge of how VCT level would respond in this situation; therefore, the K/A is met.

ANSWER CHOICE ANALYSIS:

A. Correct. Due to the failure, L/D would be diverted and auto makeup to the VCT would not occur. The VCT level would continue to drop (CCPs would eventually lose suction).

B. Incorrect. At 5% on LT-1 12 AND 115 the CCP suctions would auto swap to the RWST, thus making this answer choice incorrect. This swapover would close the VCT outlets, which would cause the VCT level to stabilize at approximately 5%. Plausible because the applicant must know that it takes a 2/2 coincidence to initiate the auto swapover.

C. Incorrect. Same reasons as B above. Plausible because at 10% the auto swapover signal clears. The applicant may associate the level at which the signal clears with the level at which auto swapover occurs.

D. Incorrect. Same reasons as B above. Plausible because this would be the correct answer if LT-1 12 were to fail high.

24. 024AG2.4.6 003/1/2/EMERGENCY BORATION/C/A(3. I /4.0)/M/SM0530 1 /R/MC/SDR The reactor has failed to automatically trip when required and cannot be manually tripped. The turbine is tripped, the EFW pumps are running, and emergency boration is in progress. PZR pressure is 2385 psig. A malfunction in the control circuitry has caused PZR PORVs, PCV-445A and PCV-444B to fail to open.

PZR PORV, PCV-445B, BLOCK valve is closed with its breaker closed (pre-event condition due to the PORV leaking). The crew plans to open the PORV BLOCK valve.

Under the above conditions, which ONE of the following describes when the crew should open the PORV BLOCK valve and the reason?

A.

Immediately open the valve to prevent a rapid RCS overpressurization transient expected with most ATWS events.

B.

Open the valve just prior to the code safety lifting in order to prevent the code safety from lifting and thus preventing the possibility of the code safety valve sticking open.

C Immediately open the valve to allow enough borated water to flow into the RCS to ensure the addition of negative reactivity to the core.

D.

Immediately open the valve to begin a slow, controlled cooldown and depressurization, thereby minimizing positive reactivity feedback via a negative MTC.

Feedback DISTRACTORS:

A INCORRECT Overpressure limited by safeties. Opening PORVs wont prevent overpressure; they are assumed to operate for best estimate ATWS analysis.

B INCORRECT SGTR is not limiting (loss of FW is).

C CORRECT Requires trainee to analyze all conditions given and determine the limiting parameter.

D INCORRECT Depressurization doesnt affect + reactivity from negative MTC (procedure discusses allowing heat-up).

Feedback DISTRACTORS:

A INCORRECT B CORRECT: Since A Train SI did not actuate, the A Train RB Spray discharge header isolation valve will not open so A Train RB Spray will not provide cooling, even though the pump should start on Hi-3 RB pressure. Train B SI will align the B Train RB Spray discharge header and the B RB Spray Pump wi start on Hi-3 and provide flow to the RB. Since A Train ESFLS operated as designed, Industrial Cooling will be isolated to both trains of RBCUs (see D-302-222). This will also cause the Industrial Cooling pump to trip on low flow. Normal, 100% RBCU lineup is one A Train and two B Train RBCUs running in FAST. Since A Train ESFLS operates as designed, the FAST RBCU trips and ONE A Train RBCU starts in SLOW, providing RB cooling as A Train SW is aligned to its RBCUs. Since B Train ESFLS failed, its RBCUs will not realign to SW and a B Train RBCU will not start in SLOW RBCU. Although the two B Train RBCUs will continue to run in FAST, they will not be providing cooling since neither industrial cooling or SW will be flowing through the RBCUs.

Which ONE of the following describes the affect on RCS temperature and Pressurizer water temperature, associated with the above events? (Assume no operator actions.)

A.

RCS temperature will initially rise from its steady state value. Pressurizer water temperature will initially rise from its steady state value.

B. RCS temperature will initially rise from its steady state value. Pressurizer water temperature will initially lower from its steady state value.

C.

RCS temperature will initially lower from its steady state value. Pressurizer water temperature will initially rise from its steady state value.

D.

RCS temperature wHI initially lower from its steady state value. Pressurizer water temperature will initially lower from its steady state value.

Feedback K/A MATCH ANALYSIS The K/A requires the testing of knowledge of operational implications of a PCS malfunction, which is accomplished with the safety valve leaking. The safety valve has a pressure control function to keep the RCS from encroaching on the RCS pressure safety limit. The K/A also requires testing the implications of expansion of liquids as temperature increases. Therefore, the K/A is met because the RCS temperaure goes up, causing the liquid volume to expand.

The safety valve leaks, reducing the pressure in the pressurizer. Both of these items cause an insurge into the pressurizer, which lowers the pressurizer temperature (operational implication).

ANSWER CHOICE ANALYSIS:

A. Incorrect. Xenon is burning out due to the power ascention, which will cause RCS temperature to increase. The rise in RCS temperature will cause the RCS volume to expand coupled with the Safety Valve leaking causes an above average insurge into the Pzr, which will drop the average water temperature in the Pzr initially beyond the heaters capacity to compensate.

A INCORRECT RCS temperature trending down is not an indication of a Reactor trip,and this is the wrong reason according to the WOG and lesson plan.

B CORRECT These are indications that a reactor trip has occured, and this is the correct reason for performing the trip lAW the WOG, and Lesson Plan.

C INCORRECT Reactor Power trending down is one indication that a trip may have occured, but is also an indication of just a down power condition, and temperature can be indications of the same thing, and this is not the corrrect reason for verifying the reactor tripped.

D INCORRECT The procedure requires both of these actions to be performed to verify that the reactor is tripped.

The B DIG failed to start automatically and CANNOT be started from the Control Room.

An operator has attempted to start the B D/G locally by manually depressing only one of the manual air start valves for B DIG, but the D/G does NOT start.

Which ONE of the following is a possible cause of the B D/G NOT starting?

A.

Only one main air start valve was overridden.

B.

The Local-Remote switch is in MAINTENANCE.

C, Pressure in the B D/G air receivers is less than 175 psig.

D.

Feedback DISTRACTORS:

A INCORRECT Overiding only one main air start valve is all that is necessary to start the DIG since the two air start valves are in parallel.

B INCORRECT The MAINTENANCE position allows a test start but blocks generator actuation by blocking closure of the D/G breaker. The diesel will start, but will not load electrically.

C CORRECT Factory testing with air receiver pressure less than 225 psig resulted in prolonged diesel start times. 175 psig was selected as it is sufficiently low to be a possible cause of the D/G not starting and the 75 is similar to the 75 in the DG START AIR PRESS LO annunciator setpoint of 275 psig.

D INCORRECT If the diesel must be emergency started manually by using the provided tool to open the main air start valves, the barring device interlock is bypassed and the diesel would have started.

- A loss of offsite power has occurred.

- Both DGs are running at near full load.

- Due to problems with the B fuel oil transfer pumps, the B DG day tank is unable to be replenished.

- The DG B OIL DAY TK LVL LO-LO annunciator is received on the MCB.

If the conditions given above remain unchanged, which ONE of the following is true regarding the operation of the EDG?

A.

The crew should unlock and open the fuel oil transfer cross-connect valve to allow the A fuel oil transfer pumps to refill the B DG Day Tank while monitoring the B DG Day Tank level to prevent overfilling the tank.

B.

The crew should make up the ALT FILL connection, then unlock and open the B DG fuel oil transfer pump bypass valve to allow the engine driven fuel oil pump to take a suction directly from the discharge of the DG Fuel Oil Un-loading Pump.

C.

The crew can allow the B DG to continue to run for approximately 90 minutes longer prior to having to secure the DG due to loss of fuel.

D The crew can allow the B DG to continue to run for approximately 30 minutes longer prior to having to secure the DG due to loss of fuel.

MAB/SDR Feedback NOTE:

The figure (GS 9.23) and the table (Table GS9.1) and text of the lesson plan (Page 21 of 53) do not appear to provide consistent information. The figure implies that RM-G17A1B will isolate both Purge and Alternate Purge, but the table and text do not state that Alternate Purge is isolated. Licensee will need to clear up this issue and question may need to be revised accordingly.

KIA MATCH ANALYSIS The question tests knowledge of design features in the ARM system which will isolate ventilation when radiation is detected, thus matching the KIA.

ANSWER CHOICE ANALYSIS:

A. Correct. See Page 21 and 48 of referenced text.

B. Incorrect. See Page 21 and 48 of referenced text. This is action if high radiation on the area rad monitors. Plausible due to memory nature of the item and the fact that the choice is partially correct.

C. Incorrect. See Page 21 and 48 of referenced text. This is action if high radiation on both RM-G17A and B. Plausible due to memory nature of the item and the fact that the choice is partially correct.

D. Incorrect. See Page 21 and 48 of referenced text. This ia the action if high radiation on area monitor A train. Plausible due to memory nature of the item and the fact that the choice is partially correct.

65. G2.3.1 00 1/3//RADIATION ALARAJC/A(2.6/3.0)/B/SM0530 1/RJMAB/SDR An onshift Reactor Operator (RO) has the following recent dose history (TEDE):

- Year2004=4O2Omrem

- Year to date 2005 = 459 mrem The RO is directed to perform a job on a component (considered a point source) that has a dose rate of 4400 mrem I hour at one foot. The RO will perform all of the work at 18 inches from the component and the work will take 45 minutes to complete.

Which ONE of the following correctly states the highest level of required approval/notification needed prior to beginning work?

A.

The ROs Supervisor and the Manager of Health Physics Services B The ROs Department Manager and the HP Manager C.

The General Manager, Nuclear Plant Operations D.

The NRC Feedback K/A MATCH ANALYSIS The question tests knowldge of the facility requirements that are related to the 10CFR2O requirements.

ANSWER CHOICE ANALYSIS:

A. Incorrect. The Dept. Manager must sign. This is a higher level than his Supervisor.

Plausible because this would be correct if the applicant does not add the 459 mrem.

B. (1/1.5)2 x (4400 mremlhr) x (45 minutes) x (1 hr/60 minutes) 1467 mrem 1500 mrem + 459 mrem 1926 mrem. HPP-153, Step 4.1, gives the admin limit as 1000 mrem. HPP-153, Step 3.3.1 and 3.3.2 state that the Manager of HPS must either sign or be notified by phone and approve per telecon. HPP-1 53, Attachment 1, states that the individuals manager (likely the Operations Manager) and the MP Manager must approve for> 1500 mrem, but < 2000 mrem.

C. Incorrect. Plausible because if the applicant does not account for only working 3/4 of an hour (rather than a full hour), then this answer would be correct due to calculating > 2000 mrem.

D. Incorrect. Plausible because NRC notification (vice approval) would be necessary if the 2004 accumulated dose were added to the current year dose.

A.

It will enable the crew to maintain minimum RCS subcooling by verifying RHR is in the cooldown mode.

B It will enable the crew to maintain minimum RCS subcooling by verifying/establishing SI flow.

Prior to this step there is a note that states Saturated conditions in the PZR should be established before decreasing PZR level.

Which ONE of the following choices is correct with respect to the thermodynamic relationship between Pressurizer pressure and Pressurizer level and their effect on the plant?

If the Pressurizer is not saturated, decreasing Pressurizer level (using charging and letdown) will cause the Pressurizer pressure to than if the Pressurizer were saturated. Though Pressurizer pressure still decreases when level is reduced under saturated conditions, the rate of decrease is since vapor is created as the pressure drops.

A.

increase slower; faster B.

increase slower; slower C.

decrease faster; faster D/ decrease faster; slower Feedback DISTRACTORS:

A INCORRECT B INCORRECT C INCORRECT D CORRECT To reduce the PZR level in a controlled manner, saturated conditions should first be established.

If the PZR is not saturated, decreasing PZR level (using charging and letdown) will cause PZR pressure to decrease faster than if the PZR were saturated. Though the PZR pressure still decreases when level is reduced under saturated conditions, the rate of decrease is slower since vapor is created as the pressure drops.
