C. IVSW initiation automatically sealed the Charging Header.

To prevent leakage from Containment.

Dv D~ A manual valve alignment of IVSW was performed to seal the Charging Header.

To prevent leakage from Containment.

The correct answer is D.

Upon initiation of a Safety Injection, the IVSW system is automatically actuated. This system has 4 seperate headers, three which actuate automatically upon SI and one that must be manually aligned if required. The isolation of the Charging Header is performed manually, during EPP-9, to prevent potential leakage if the Containment is pressurized above Charging Pump header pressure and the Charging Pumps are stopped.

A: Incorrect - IVSW is applied to the Charging Header between the pump discharge and the discharge check valves, but it is applied manually. This would also open the valves, NOT seat them.

B: Incorrect - IVSW

- IVSW is manually aligned to the Charging header during EPP-9, however it is applied to the Charging Header between the pump discharge and the discharge check valves. This would open the check valves, NOT seat them.

D. Verify the RUPTURED S/G PORV controllers' controllers setpoint is 15 PSIG less than the INTACT S/G PORV controllers.

The correct answer is B.

A: Incorrect - Placing the ruptured S/G PORV to MAXIMUM is undesirable as the PORV will NOT OPEN and pressure will be controlled by S/G Safety Valves, which may NOT reseat if they lift.

B: Correct - -

The setpoint on the ruptured S/G PORV is verified at 1035 PSIG. This minimizes the potential for radiological release and ensures the PORV is maintained available to prevent challenging the S/G Safety Valves.

C: Incorrect - Isolating Instrument Air to the ruptured S/G PORV will prevent an inadvertent release but could challenge the S/G safeties if pressure in the S/G is elevated. It is desired to maintain the S/G PORV operable to allow it to function as designed and provide a controlled release path if steam release is required.

D: Incorrect - Reducing the RUPTURED S/Gs

- S/G's PORV setpoint to less than the intact S/Gs would result in more steam flow from the contaminated S/G, rather than from the intact S/Gs.

Which ONE (1) of the following describes the effect and reason the lower voltage has on SR N-31 and N-32 instrument response?

N-31 and N-32 indication willwill....

A. decrease because a lower input voltage to the Pre-Amplifier results in overall reduced detector efficiency.

B. increase due to a reduction of pulse height discriminations that allows more ionization events to pass through the discriminator circuit.

C. increase due to a reduction in gamma compensation, allowing more, lower energy events to pass through the pulse height discriminator circuit.

D~

D decrease because reduced voltage results in fewer ion pairs reaching the detector electrodes due to lower potential applied to the detector.

The correct answer is D.

A: Incorrect - Detector high voltage is ONLY applied to the detector, NOT the amplifier circuits. Any reduction in detector high voltage will NOT affect the operation of the Pre-amplifier.

B: Incorrect - Pulse height discriminator circuit has no relation to the High Voltage applied to the detector.

C: Incorrect - There is NO gamma compensation circuit (IR Detector Only).

D. PZR Pressure ESFAS bistables on Train "A" A AND Train "B"B are tripped.

ALL Instrumentation LCOs are currently met.

The correct answer is C.

PT-455 feeds BOTH high and low pressure RPS on BOTH Train "A" A and Train "B" B and low pressure bistables for ESFAS. When PT-455 fails LOW, ONLY the low pressure RPS and ESFAS bistables are actuated. When Instrument Bus 2 fails, ALL three of the PZR pressure bistables (high and low) deenergize to actuate.

A: Incorrect - The ESFAS bistables provide input to BOTH Trains, so BOTH would be tripped.

B: Incorrect - The ESFAS bistables provide input to BOTH Trains, so BOTH would be tripped.

C: Correct - - The ESFAS bistables provide input to BOTH Trains, so BOTH are tripped.The loss of Instrument Bus 22 will cause a Reactor Trip and Safety Injection signal to be generated. Due to the failure of 2 PZR pressure transmitters, the bistables CANNOT be tripped in the Hagan Racks, thus the plant must be placed in a mode where the LCO is NOT applicable.

D: Incorrect - The ESFAS bistables are tripped for PT-455 and PT-456. Instrumentation LCOs are NOT met until the bistables have been placed in the tripped position in the Hagan Racks. Due to the failure of 22 PZR pressure transmitters, the bistables CANNOT be tripped in the Hagan Hagan Racks, thus the plant must be placed in aa mode where the LCO is is NOT applicable.

The correct answer is D.

There are 2 parallel discharge isolation valves on each charging pump. Normal operation has both valves open, 1 i supplying the charging header and 1i supplying the seal injection line to the RCPs. With the recirc valve open on a charging pump, the flow path is back to the VCT. With the recirc valve open while the pump discharge valve is open, all charging and seal injection flow will follow the path of least resistance and return to the VCT.

A: Incorrect - All charging and seal injection flow will take the path of least resistance and return to the VCT.

B: Incorrect - The charging line flow will decrease to minimum but the seal injection flow to the RCPs will also decrease to minimum.

C: Incorrect - The seal injection flow to the RCPs will decrease to minimum but the charging line flow will also decrease to minimum.

C. Because of the potential for personnel injury during Steam Break accidents outside of Containment.

D. Because of the increased potential for Containment failure if all S/Gs are faulted.

The correct answer is A.

A: Correct - - A Main Steam break causes a rapid RCS cooldown and SI SIG blows S until the S/G dry. RCS temperature will stabilize and the RCS will repressurize to restore normal RCS conditions. This allows other accidents to be diagnosed or the EOP network exited if conditions allow.

B: Incorrect - Early isolation of AFW will limit RCS cooldown and CV pressure, but it will NOT prevent challenging the RCS Integrity CSF.

been D. An equipment hazard exists because the test tool used for locally closing the breaker prevents remote breaker operation for several seconds while the tool is engaged.

The correct answer is A.

A: Correct - - Caution prior to Step 13 states "LocallyLocally closing 4160V 41 60V Load Breakers on an 41 60V Bus could result in explosion of the breaker contacts."

energized 4160V contacts. The 4KV load breakers are NOT designed to be locally closed onto an energized bus. The tool that will be used is a test tool designed to check breaker face alignment. The slow breaker closure using the test tool would result in extreme arcing and contact explosion if the bus is energized.

B: Incorrect - The local closure should ONLY be performed to close onto a de-energized bus.

At this pOint point in the procedure, only de-energized busses and unloaded breakers are involved.

C: Incorrect - The loss of DC IS considered a non-credible event at Robinson, requiring a passive failure and therefore NOT included in Accident Analysis. However, the procedure to recover (EPP-26) has been fully evaluated, including the personnel hazards involved.

- A.

- CW Pump "A"

- A is running.

Ui has ONE CW

- U1

- OW Pump running.

- The release permit states a release rate of 80 GPM with ONE U2 CW Pump running.

Subsequently:

- CW Pump "A"

- A trips.

Based on current plant conditions, what is the impact on the release?

A':I 10CFR2O limits may be exceeded. The release must be stopped.

A 10CFR20 100FR2O limits will NOT be exceeded. NPDES Discharge limits for pH may be exceeded.

B. 10CFR20 Terminate the release.

100FR2O limits will NOT be exceeded. The release may continue.

C. 10CFR20 D. 10CFR20 10CFR2O limits may be exceeded. Release may continue provided 2 independent samples were obtained during permit generation.

The correct answer is A.

A: Correct - - Release rate is based on dilution flow from Unit 2 Circ Water Pump with dilution flow of 160,000 GPM. Although Unit 1 1 has a Circ Water Pump operating, it has a lower capacity (50,000 GPM) than the Unit 2 pump. With the dilution flow being less than the dilution flow that the release was based on, there is a potential that the 10CFR20 100FR2O release limits will be exceeded.

B: Incorrect - Dilution flow of Unit 11 Circ Water Pump is lower than that provided by Unit 2 pump. 10CFR20 1 OCFR2O release limits are impacted based on the assumptions made to authorize the release.

C: Incorrect - 10CFR20

- 1 OCFR2O limits have the potential to be exceeded and the release must be terminated until further analysis has determined that the proper dilution flow is available to support the release.

D: Incorrect - 2 independent samples for the release generation does NOT have any bearing on the release continuing. The release must be terminated until additional analysis has been performed and proper dilution flow is verified.

- Earlier in the shift, a Clearance was established for maintenance activities on the CV Spray system.

- An operator is now restoring the system to normal alignment.

- During system restoration, a valve which was inside the Clearance boundary was found out of alignment.

- It is believed that the valve was mispositioned during maintenance activities.

- There are other valves within the Clearance boundary within close proximity to the mispositioned valve.

What minimum procedural actions are REQUIRED by OMM-001-S, OMM-OO1-8, CONTROL OF EQUIPMENT AND SYSTEM STATUS?

A. The event shall be considered as a Deliberate Misposition Event until the cause is investigated and established.

B. ONLY the mispositioned valve must be verified in the correct position lAW the system Operating Procedure.

C. A full system lineup is required lAW the system Operating Procedure.

D A valve lineup is required for ALL valves within the Clearance boundary lAW the system 01' Operating Procedure.

The correct answer is D.

OMM-OO1 -8, Section S.5.6 A: Incorrect - OMM-001-S,

- 8.5.6 specifies that "if if there is reason to believe the valve was deliberately mispositioned or tampered with...

with ... " it is treated as a Deliberate Mispositioning. This is NOT the default assumption. Additional information or suspicion may invoke this set of actions, but NO evidence is established in the question stem.

B: Incorrect - If the cause of the mispositioning can be clearly identified, a single valve lineup is allowed. The question stem does NOT clearly identify the cause. There are other valves within close proximity to the mispositioned valve.

C: Incorrect - A full valve lineup is to be performed if the cause of the mispositioning is unknown and CANNOT be quickly determined. A full valve lineup is NOT required because the valve is within the Clearance boundary.

D: Correct - - OMM-001-S specifies that a valve lineup of valves within the Clearance OMM-OO1-8 boundary is to be performed if maintenance activities were performed on valves within the Clearance boundary, and it is believed that those maintenance activities caused the mispositioning.
