(Assume Tavg is stable at 547°F) A. Boration does not have to be considered because the online boron concentration is greater than the required shutdown boron concentration. B. Boration to the required shutdown concentration may be delayed up to 8 hours if reactor power had been less than 50% for the 48 hours prior to the trip. C. Boration to the required shutdown concentration may be delayed up to 8 hours if reactor power had been greater than 50% for the 48 hours prior to the trip. D. Boration to the required shutdown concentration must be commenced without delay regardless or power level prior to the trip. Answer: C Explanation/Justification: A. Incorrect but plausible because the online boraon concentration often does exceed the required shutdown concentration. B. Incorrect but plausible because an operator may be confused as to which power level allows for delay. C. Correct. D. Incorrect but plausible because an operator may assume no allowance for Xenon is allow in boration requirements. Technical

Level RO SRO Tier # 1 Group # 1 KIA # 000025K301 Knowledge of the reasons for the following responses as they apply to the Loss of Residual Heat Removal System: - Shift to alternate flowpath Importance 3.1 Question # 2 Given the following:
- The plant is at reduced inventory in preparation for vacuum fill of the RCS following a mid-cycle RCP seal replacement.
- The RCS is vented with the Pressurizer manway removed.
- An RCS leak occurred
- RCS level is decreasing
- RHR flow is oscillating
- The operating RHR pump was subsequently secured.
- The crew is performing actions per AOP-RHR-1, Loss of RHR.
Which of the following identifies the reason why HCV 638, 21 RHR HX and HCV 640,22 RHR HX are initially left open for this condition? A. to provide a gravity feed path from RWST B. in preparation for restarting the pump C. to ensure ~P does not prevent subsequent opening the valves D. because motors are de-energized at reduced inventory Answer: A Explanation/Justification: A. Correct. If charging pumps cannot maintain RCS inventory, or a more rapid increase in level is desired, the RWST is gravity drained to the RCS via RHR. These valves must be left open.
B. Incorrect. Plausible because aligning the RHR to the RWST would provide subcooled water to the suction and the capacity of the RHR pumps would increase RCS inventory more rapidly. The pumps are started with the valves closed. C. Incorrect. Plausible because HCV-638 and 640 are butterfly valves and a small differential pressure could prevent the valves from opening. D. Incorrect. Plausible because during RHR operation the suction valves (730 and 731) are de-energized open at reduced inventory to prevent loss of RHR if the valves close. Note: 638 and 640 are not de-energized during RHR operation. Technical

Level RO Tier# 1 Group # 1 KIA # 0000152236 Equipment Control - Ability to analyze the effect of maintenance activities, such as degraded power sources, on the status of limiting conditions for operations. Importance 3.1 Question # 3 Given:
- Plant heatup is in progress in accordance with 2-POP-1 .1, Plant Heatup from Cold Shutdown Conditions.
- Final preparations are in progress to enter MODE 3.
- 24 RCP is in operation.
- MCC 28 is de-energized for post maintenance testing of the normal supply breaker.
- The Reactor Trip and Bypass Breakers are tagged out for Power Cabinet fuse clip replacement.
Can the unit enter MODE 3? A. Mode 3 cannot be entered. Tech Specs requires four RCS Loops OPERABLE to enter Mode 3 regardless of the status of the status of the Rod Control System. B. Mode 3 cannot be entered. Tech Specs requires two RCS Loops OPERABLE and one in operation to enter Mode 3 when the Rod Control System is NOT capable of rod withdrawal. C. Mode 3 can be entered. Tech Specs requires one RCS Loop OPERABLE as long as the Rod Control System is not capable of rod withdrawal to enter Mode 3. D. Mode 3 can be entered. Tech Specs requires two loops (RHR and/or RCS) OPERABLE and one in operation to enter Mode 3 regardless of the status of the status of the Rod Control System.
Answer: B Expla nation!Justification: A. Incorrect. Plausible because Tech Specs does require two RCS loops in operation when rod control is capable of rod withdrawal. Only one RCS loop must be in operation and another loop OPERABLE to enter mode 3. B. Correct. With MCC 28 de"energized a second RCP cannot be started (power to bearing lift pumps). Based on these conditions only one loop is OPEABLE and entry into mode 3 is not allowed. C. Incorrect. Plausible because the statement is true, only one loop is required to be in operation; however, a second loop must OPERABLE. D. Incorrect. Plausible because the combination of 2 loops is the LCO for MODE 4. Technical

All Running All Running 4 valves closed Open All Valves D. No Change No Change Closed No Change Answer: A Explanation!Justification:
A single manual pushbutton for Containment Spray will actuate a single train of Spray (1 pump and half of the valves). It will also actuate a single train of 08 isolation. A manual containment spray actuation will not actuate a safety injection. An automatic spray actuation signal will actuate safety injection if not already actuated. A. Correct. SI is not actuated and 4 of the 7 08 valves will close (those controlled by Train 8 08).
- 8. Incorrect. Plausible because the candidate may believe that a single manual pushbutton will actuate both trains of 08 valves and initiate an automatic SI.
C. Incorrect. Plausible because the candidate may believe that a single manual pushbutton will actuate one trains of 08 valves and initiate an one train of SI. D. Incorrect. Plausible because the candidate may believe that the manual pushbutton will actuate both trains of 08 valves. Technical

- Plant is at 50% power
- 21 Rod Drive MG set is out of service for bearing replacement
- A fault occurs on 3A 480V bus, coincident with a unit trip Which ONE of the following statements describes the configuration of the auxiliary feedwater system, prior to any operator actions?
A. Only 22 and 23 AFW pumps running. AFW flow to 23 and 24 S/G's only B. All AFW pumps running, AFW flow to each S/G C. Only 21 and 22 AFW pumps running, AFW flow to 21 and 22 S/G's only D. Only 22 AFW pump running, NO AFW flow to any S/G Answer: A Explanation/Justification: A. Correct because shrink will cause 23 and 22 to start. 50% initial power makes it not obvious as to whether or not sufficient shrink will occur. However, it does occur in the simulator and the answers do not provide for any other possibility.
B. Incorrect but plausible. 21 AFW cannot run because of a fault on 3A. However it is plausible because there are safeguard loads on 22 EDG that have multiple breakers. Also it is easy to forget that the fault continues to keep the bus de-energized. C. Incorrect and plausible. 21 AFW running is plausible (see B.). 23 not running is plausible because of misunderstanding BO logic (note that U3 logic would support the 6A pump not running) D. Incorrect and plausible. This is plausible because of potential confusion with the BO logic and not knowing if sufficient shrink would have occurred. Technical

Answer: -A- -
Explanation/JusUfication: A. Correct B. Incorrect. Plausible because FR procedure typically have a higher priority than other emergency procedures. There are two procedures (ES-1.3 Transfer to Cold Leg Recirculation and ECA-O.O Loss of All AC Power) that take priority over FRPs. The concept that a procedure may take prioity over the FRPs is not unrealistic. ECA-1.1 addresses a "best guess" approach to containment conditions where FR-Z.1 addresses a "worst case" approach. The need to conserver RWST inventory for core cooling is a higher priority C. Incorrect. Plausible becauseECA-1.1 is a special case and candidates may believe that no FRPs are implemented. FRP are implemented in ECA-1.1 if the condition occurs with the exception of FR-Z.1 due to the need to conserve inventory for core cooling. D. Incorrect. Plausible because containment is the final fission product barrier. In general actions in the SAMGs are focused on maintaining containment intact. Technical

Based on these indications, which of the following is the next appropriate action to be taken by the team? A. Manually insert control rods. B. Dispatch NPO to locally trip the Reactor C. Initiate Emergency Boration of the RCS D. Verify Turbine Trip Answer: D
(irA? Explanation/Justification: " This question requires the andidate to realize that 1)RTB did not open, but the reactor is tripped by RT 2) That an automatic trip signal exists against RTB from SG low low level 90 seconds after trip from 100% power, and 3) That with this is the proper breaker indication for RTB in these circumstances. A. Incorrect but plausible. Plausible because if the reactor was not tripped the next action would be to insert control rods per FR-S 1 . B. Incorrect but plausible. Plausible because a candidate may believe this is done even if the reactor did trip or per FR-S1 if it did not. C. Incorrect but plausible. Plausible because an operator may believe the reactor is not tripped and this action would be taken in FR-S1.

- Tave 54rF
- Pressurizer pressure 2235 psig
- Reactor trip breakers CLOSED
- Source range counts 52 cps (N31) and 55 cps (N32)
- Source range HV Manual On/Off is in NORMAL
- ALL Control Rod Banks are INSERTED
- ALL Shutdown Rod Banks are Withdrawn to 223 Steps An I&C technician is troubleshooting power source problems with the NIS drawers that were noted a few days earlier following a reactor trip. During the troubleshooting activities, the following indications are received at the main control boards:
- SOURCE RANGE LOSS OF DETECTOR VOLT actuates.
- Source range counts: 52 cps (N31), 0 cps (N32)
- Reactor trip breakers CLOSED Which ONE of the following describes what the I&C technician did?
A. Removed the CONTROL POWER fuses for N32 with the Level Trip switch in BYPASS B. Removed the INSTRUMENT POWER fuses for N32 with the Level Trip switch in BYPASS.
C. Activated the RPS input for the SOURCE RANGE BLOCK. D. Removed power simultaneously to TWO Power Range channels. Answer: B Explanation/Justification: A. Incorrect. Removal of CONTROL POWER fuses will not result in loss of high voltage to the detector (supplied from the Instrument Power fuses) and thus would not result in loss of N32 indication. Regardless of Level Trip Bypass switch position, removal of the control power fuses would result in reactor trip from this condition. B. Correct. INSTRUMENT POWER supplies the High Voltage for the detector. Control power supplies power to the protection bistables including the Level Trip Bypass circuit. C. Incorrect. Plausible because RPS input for SR Block de-energizes High Voltage to both SR NIS channels. Indication that only one channel has lost indication should eliminate this distractor. Candidate must distinguish between conditions that result in de-energization of a single channel and both channels. D. Incorrect. Plausible because removal of power to 2 PR NIS channels will result in removal of High Voltage to both SR NIS. This can be bypassed using the SR HV Manual On/Off switches. Candidate must recognize that the HV Manual On/Off switch is not in the correct position to allow de energizing more than one power range instruments Technical

Because of difficulties in closing the MSIVs, 23 and 24 SGs have blown dry. Current Plant status is as follows:
- E-2, Faulted SG Isolation, is in progress.
- RCS temperature is 290°F and decreasing.
- SI flow is still being supplied to the RCS.
- Total AFW flow is 800 gpm.
- All RCPs have been stopped due to loss of cooling water.

ALL of the following have occurred: Radiation Monitor R-47 is in alarm RCV-017, CCW Surge Tank Vent Valve has automatically closed. CCW Surge Tank High Level Alarm has annunciated. Which of the following events could have caused these conditions to occur and what is the appropriate procedure to address the condition? Assume all equipment intended to mitigate the event functioned as designed. A. Large tube leak in RCP Thermal Barrier HXs Go to 2 AOP-RCP-1, Reactor Coolant Pump Malfunctions B. Large tube leak in RCP Thermal Barrier HX Go to 2-AOP-LlCCW-1 Leakage into Component Cooling System C. Large tube leak in Non-regenerative HX Go to 2-AOP-CVCS-1, CVCS Malfunctions D. Large tube leak in Non-regenerative HX Go to 2-AOP-LlCCW-1 Leakage into Component Cooling System
Answer: D ExplanationlJustification: The only auto closure signal for RCV-017 is high activity on Radiation Monitor R 47. A. Incorrect. Plausible because a large leak in the thermal barrier heat exchanger will cause leakage into CCW but will cause FCV-625 to auto close. Closing 625 will stop the leakage and RCV-017 will not auto close. In addition AOP-RCP-1 is not the correct procedure to address this condition. B. Incorrect. Plausible because a large leak in the thermal barrier heat exchanger will cause leakage into CCW but will cause FCV-625 to auto close. Closing 625 will stop the leakage and RCV-017 will not auto close. AOP-LlCCW-1 is the correct procedure to address this condition. C. Incorrect. Plausible because a large leak in the Non-regenerative heat exchanger will cause leakage into CCW and may cause RCV-017 to auto close. In addition AOP-CVCS-1 is not the correct procedure to address this condition. D. Correct.

Assumi g that RCS and flux distribution parameters remain on program!target, as power is raise to 100%, how will the over-temperature (OT) and over-power (OP) differential temperature (DT) Reactor Protection setpoints change? OTAT setpoint OPAT setpoint A. increase stay the same B. decrease decrease C. decrease stay the same D. stay the same increase Answer: C Explanation!Justification: A. Incorrect. Plausible because the OPOT setpoint does remain the same, and the applicant may confuse the fact that the OTOT setpoint decreases with the term 'increase' meaning the actual value is closer to setpoint. B. Incorrect. The OTOT setpoint does decrease. The OPOT setpoint never increases from its nominal value. It will, however decrease if T -avg deviates above its nominal 100% power program value. Since T-avg at 80% power is less than 100% power, the OPOT setpoint will be at its nominal full power value and thus, will not change from 80 to 100% power assuming T-avg stays on program.
C. Correct. Since T -avg at 80% power is less than 100% power, the OPOT setpoint will be at its nominal full power value and thus, will not change from 80 to 100% power assuming T-avg stays on program. The OTOT setpoint, on the other hand can increase or decrease from its nominal value. Since program T-avg will increase approximately 5 more degrees, the trip setpoint will become more limiting, decreasing to its nominal full power value. O. Incorrect. OTOT decreases as referenced above in C. The OPOT setpoint never increases from its nominal value. It will, however decrease if T-avg deviates above its nominal 100% power program value Technical

- The EDGs started and energized the AC emergency buses.
- The CRDM cooling fans cannot be manually loaded onto the AC emergency buses.
- Condensate Storage Tank water inventory is adequate for the cooldown.
Which ONE of the following describes HOW the inoperability of the CRDM fans affects the cool down and depressurization? A. It has no effect because the amount of RCS heat removed by running the CRDM fans is insignificant compared to the heat removed by steaming the secondary plant. ~:: The RCS Cooldown rate must be reduced since the upper head can not be adequately cooled. Transition to 2-ES-O.3, Natural Circulation Cooldown with Steam Void in Vessel, will be required because cooldown and depressurization will cause formation of a void in the upper head area. D. Less subcooling should be maintained to enhance the cooldown of the upper head area, which reduces the formation of voids. Answer: B Explanation!Justification:
A. Incorrect - Does NOT address the issue of a reduced upper head cooldown rate. B. Correct - ES-0.2 will have restriction without cooling fans. but transition to ES-0.3 is not required. C. Incorrect - Transition to 2-0HP-4023-ES-0-3, Natural Circulation Cooldown with Steam Void in Vessel, is NOT required given conditions which do NOT warrant an increased cooldown rate on natural circulation (Le., CST inventory adequate for cooldown).

Starting this pump is allowed, but EDG load will be limited to the short time (2 hr) load limit after this pump is placed in service. D. 22 Recirculation Pump is started, per procedure, to prevent an overload condition on the EDG. Answer: C Explanation/Justification:
This question requires the candidate to have the following knowledge:
- 1. what the continuous and 2 hour limits on EDGs are
- 2. Have a rough idea of KW of recirc pumps. Note that the KW values picked would be valid for any pump that would be run in ES-1.3. All safeguards motors are >100 KW and < 450 KW. Recirc pumps are 299 KW.
- 3. Procedure actions of ES-1.3 (we do not formally address EDG load).
Additionally, the candidate has to piece together the information to come to conclusion that starting this pump will put us over the normal limit, but within the short term limit and that this is OK. A. Incorrect but plausible. It is possible that a candidate may believe that the short term limit would be exceeded. B. Incorrect but plausible. The continuous load rating will be exceeded, but we do not have to shed load. C. Correct. Per 2-sop-27.3.1.1 caution at step 4.2.10, this load is allowed for 2 hours in a 24 hour period. D. Incorrect but plausible. It is reasonable for a candidate to assume that 22 pump would be used, but the procedure does not have steps to check for load prior to stating 21 pump with recirc switch 4.

Which ONE (1) of the following statements best describes the expected plant response with NO operator action? A. An Over Temperature Delta Temperature reactor trip will occur
- 8. A Feed Flow / Steam Flow Mismatch reactor trip will occur C. The plant will stabilize; 100 percent reactor power and less than 100 percent turbine power O. The plant will stabilize; greater than 100 percent reactor power and Tave less than programmed Tave Answer: D Explanation/Justification:
Justification: UFSAR 14.1.11, Excessive Load Increase Incident, describes an event in which "a rapid increase in the steam flow that causes a power mismatch between reactor core power and the team generator load demand." For all cases evaluated, the UFSAR states, "the plant rapidly reaches a stabilized condition at the higher power leveL" In addition, Tave will decrease slightly to add (+) reactivity to compensate for the power defect. Answer D correctly states these conditions, and is the correct choice. A. Incorrect because the OT/DT setpoint is based on not exceeding DN8R, and the UFSAR states that for a 10% step load increase, (one steam dump valve is app. 4% steam flow), the ON8R remains above the safety analysis limit DN8R value.
- 8. incorrect because the Feed/Steam flow mismatch trip is in coincidence with S/G low level.
C. incorrect because turbine load will not change, so the added steam demand will cause reactor power to increase. D. Corrct Technical

- Reactor power was reduced to 70% to perform a repair to one Main Boiler Feedpump.
- Repairs took five days.
- PRNls were adjusted to exactly match thermal power at 70%
- A reactivity plan was developed to return the reactor to 100%.
- The plan assumed that Control Bank 0 would be at 180 steps at the start of the power ascension. t1 A _ 0 "
- Actual rod position was 200 steps on Control Bank DoOtt '~'_~~~~
How does this difference in rod position effect the amount of dilution required ana-PRNI adjustment required to return the plant to a normal 100% lineup with the PRNls properly adjusted? A. Greater dilution will be required, but less PRNI adjustment will be required. B. Greater dilution will be required, and more PRNI adjustment will be required. C. Less dilution will be required, but more PRNI adjustment will be required. D. Less dilution will be required, and less PRNI adjustment will be required. Answer: B ExplanationlJustification:
As power is raised dilution will be required and PRNls are adjusted down (if they were adjusted at lower power). The reason for the NI adjustment is that at higher temperatures more neutrons will leak and get to PR detectors. Having higher than expected boron at 75% will make the adjustment at full power greater than. otherwise. Having higher boron at 75% will require greater than normal dilutions as well. All choices are plausible because of the posibility of misunderstanding how the plant responds to a normal load increase and/or how higher rod height . will affect this (Le. higher boron) A.

Establish SI flow using E-O Attachment 1 . B. Approximately 0 gpm to each RCS loop. Do not use E-O Attachment 1 to establish flow since E-1 has been entered and will address this condition. C. Approximately 100 gpm to each RCS loop. The EOPs will not require any adjustments to SI flow. D. Approximately 200 gpm each to loops 22 & 24. E-1 will allow for balancing SI flow if desired.
Answer: A ExplanationlJustification: 21 SIP supplies loops 21 & 23. 23 SIP supplies loops 22 & 24. 22 SIP supplies all loops unless 21 or 23 pump breakers are open with an SI signal present. If 21 SIP breaker is open with an SI signal present, 851B (discharge valve for 22 SIP to loops 22 & 24) will automatically close. If 23 SIP breaker is open with an SI signal present, 851A (discharge valve for 22 SIP to loops 21 & 23) will automatically close. This condition is only addressed in E-O Attachment 1 A. Correct B. Incorrect. Plausible because the flowrate is correct, but the condition is not addressed by E-1. C. Incorrect. Plausible because the flowrate is correct for22 SIP; however, with both 21 & 23 SIPs tripped, 851 AlB will automatically close. Candidate may believe that 22 SIP is supplying all loops. D. Incorrect. Plausible because the flowrate is correct for 22 SIP; however, with both 21 & 23 SIPs tripped, 851 AlB will automatically close. Candidate may believe 851B will remain open. In addition, E-1 will not address this condition. Technical

Level SRO Tier # 1 Group # 1 KIA # 0000112408 Emergency Procedures/Plan Knowledge of how abnormal operating procedures are used in conjunction with EOPs. --------, Importance 4.5 Question # 77 Given the following conditions:
- A loss of Instn.lment Air has occurred.
- The CRS has directed a reactor trip in accordance with the requirements of AOP-AIR-1, Air System Malfunctions.
- When the Reactor was tripped, a Large Break LOCA occurred.
- E-O, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection has just been entered.
Which ONE of the following describes the allowable usage of AOP-AIR-1 while responding to this event? ? A. Whe~~mediate actions are complet~, resume AOP-AIR-1 until all actionS- are completed. Verification of automatic actions in E-O cannot be performed with a loss of Instrument Air. B. Discontinue use of AOP-AIR-1 until transition to any recovery procedure. Parallel use is only allowed when E-O is complete.
£,-0 C. Whe'1 immediate actions are complete, parallel use of AOP-AIR-1 is allo\Ak'd when performance will not detract from performance of EOPs.
D. Discontinue use of-AOP-AIR-1. The EOP network will direct actions to restore Instrument Air to vital components. Answer: C Explanation/Justification:
From OAP-015 AOP Users Guide 4.1.18 IF directed to INITIATE actions in a referenced procedure OR attachment THEN the actions should be taken while continuing on in the AOP. 4.1.18.1 IF an AOP directs the initiation of E-O, THEN the AOP actions will normally be taken after transition to ES-0.1 (Reactor Trip Response) or after step 4 of E-O, (Reactor Trip Or Safety Injection) WHEN performance will NOT detract from performance of the EOP. 4.1.18.2 The CRS may delegate the completion of AOP actions while continuing in the EOPs. A. Incorrect. Plausible because the actions of AOP-AIR-1 may restore air pressure and make verification of auto actions proceed more smoothly. B. Incorrect. As shown above, an AOP can be performed in parallel with an EOP. Plausible because the OAP does state that the AOP will NORMALLY be resumed when transition to ES-0.1. C. Correct D. Incorrect. Plausible because some AOPs direct an unconditional exit to E-O. For those AOPs, no further actions are taken in the AOP. Technical

- Difference between overcooling and LOCA indications Importance 3.7 Question # 78 Given the following conditions:
- The reactor has tripped. Safety Injection and Containment Spray have actuated.
- The team is performing the actions of E-1, Loss of Reactor or Secondary Coolant
- A Red Path exists on the Integrity Status Tree
- The CRS directs transition to FR-P.1, Response to Imminent Pressurized Thermal Shock
- The procedure immediately sends the team back to E-1 Which of the following identifies the plant parameters checked to immediately exit FR-P.1 and why FR-P.1 is not implemented?
A. RCS Pressure and SG Pressure. SG pressure greater than RCS pressure indicates a Large Break LOCA vice a Steam Break; the excessive cooldown will not continue. B. RCS Pressure and RHR Flow. RHR Flow greater than the minimum value inidicates a Large Break LOCA and thermal shock is not a serious concern for this event. C. Containment Radiation and RHR Flow. Elevated Radiation and RHR flow above the minimum value indicate a Large Break LOCA; repressurization of the RCS is virtually impossible during a Large Break LOCA. D. RCS Pressure and Containment Pressure. RCS Pressure and Containment Pressure approximately equal indicate a Large Break LOCA. The actions in FR-P.1 will delay the actions in ES-1.3, Transfer to Cold Leg Recirculation, causing a potential loss of core cooling.
Answer: B ExplanationlJustification: FR-P.1 step 1 checks RCS pressure and RHR Flow to identify a Large Break LOCA. A. Incorrect. Plausible because RCS pressure will be less than SG pressure on a large break LOCA; however, the cooldown will continue until transfer to recirc. B. Correct. From the background document: For transients where RCS pressure is less than the RHR pump shutoff head and flow from the RHR pumps has been verified, the operator should return to the procedure and step in effect since these symptoms are indicative of a large-break LOCA. In this instance, the actions of 2-FR-P.1 should not be performed since pressurized thermal shock is not a serious concern for a large-break LOCA. C. Incorrect. Plausible because containment radiation is the key parameter used to distinguish between a LOCA and Steam Break accident inside containment; however these are not the parameters used to identify a LBLOCA. Also, "repressurization during a LBLOCA is virtually impossible" is true. D. Incorrect. Plausible because RCS Pressure and Containment Pressure will be approximately equal during a LBLOCA. These are not the parameters used. Also actions in ES-1.3 are time critical to establish flow before the RWST empties. Technical

- Containment Pressure: 1 psig and rising.
- RCS pressure: 2225 PSIG and lowering.
- Reactor power: 63% and rising.
- Average Tavg: 557°F and lowering.
- Turbine power: 561 MWe and lowering.
Based on the above plant indications, what event is occurring and what are the required actions/procedures to address the event? A. A Steamline Break. Trip the reactor trip, Close MSIVs and go to E-O, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection. B. A Steamline Leak. Perform a rapid Load reduction per AOP-RLR-1, Rapid Load Reduction. C. A Small Break RCS LOCA. Trip the reactor and go to E-O, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection. D. An RCS Leak. Perform AOP-LEAK-1, Sudden Increase in Reactor Coolant Leakage. Answer: A Explanation/Justification: Immediate Actions of AOP-UC-1 require a Reactor Trip, Close MSIVs and go to E-O for unisolable Steam Leak.
A. CORRECT. Reactor power is rising, indicating positive reactivity event. Electric load is lowering, indicating loss of steam to the turbine. Turbine power should be closer to 670 Mw with Tavg closer to 558°F based on this reactor power. Based on this degree of mismatch and unisolable (inside VC) reactor trip is required. B. INCORRECT. A Steam Leak is occuring, but based on the large mismatch a reactor trip is required. C. INCORRECT. Plausible since RCS pressure is lowering, but Reactor power is rising - indicating positive reactivity event. D. INCORRECT. Plausible since RCS pressure is lowering, but Reactor power is rising - indicating positive reactivity event. Technical

- A Safety Injection occurs while Unit 2 is operating at 100% power.
- During the bus transfer, the Station Auxiliary Transformer trips and the transient results in the breaker connecting 24 Battery to 24 DC PP tripping open.
- There is no fault on 24 DC Bus. All other equipment operates as designed.
Assuming no operator action to re-close the breaker, how does this affect operator response to the event? A. RWST low level alarms will not function. RWST level will have to be monitored to ensure transition to ES-1.3 Cold Leg Recirculation is not required. B. 23 EDG will start and power Bus 6A, however safeguards loads will have to be manually started in accordance with ES-O.1 Reactor Trip Response. C. Safeguards loads will automatically sequence on, but only after 23 EDG output breaker is manually closed in accordance with the Alarm Response Procedure. D. Since there is no fault on 24 DC Bus and all auto transfers of DC power occurred, response will be unaffected.

Which of the following describes expected SG NR response and how this is addressed 2-AOP-FW-1, Loss of Feedwater? A. Increase until a Turbine Trip occurs due to integral error in the feedwater control system. To prevent this, the AOP provides guidance to remove the integral error from the FRVs. B. Stabilize below program level due to only having one MBFP in service. The AOP provides guidance to address this by controlling the MBFP and FRVs in manual as necessary to return level to program. C. Increase to above program and then return to program level following a damped oscillation" The AOP does not provide guidance for any actions since level returns to program. D. Increase and stabilize above program due to integral error signal induced by the transient. The AOP provides guidance to address this by controlling the MBFP and FRVs in manual as necessary to return level to program.
Answer: A Explanation/Justification: This question requires the candidate to know that the controllers for the FRVs are going to "windup" due to level being below program for an extended period of time. AOP-FW-1 would have the operators remove the "windup" from the FRVs, The candidate must remember this action and understand why it is done. With no actions, a Turbine trip will occur due to high level on SGs from overfeeding. Eliminating distractors will be easier if the candidate has a strong understanding of how the control system responds to being off program. A. Increase until a Turbine Trip occurs due to integral error in the feedwater control system. To prevent this, the AOP will remove the integral error from the FRVs. B. Stabilize below program level due to only having one MBFP in service. The AOP will address this by controlling the MBFP and FRVs in manual as necessary to return level to program. C.

A malfunction has occurred resulting in an 8 psig increase in governor oil pressure. Which of the following correctly identifies the impact of this malfunction and the required operator actions as specified in 2 AOP-LOAD-1, Excessive Load Increase or Decrease? Answer: B Explanation/Justification:
Governor Oil pressure increases from approximately 20 psig to approximately 40 psig from Latched to full power. At 50% power the pressure is approximately 28 psig. When power is < 75% the load limits are maintained within 5 psig of governor oil pressure. When the governor oil pressure increases above Load Limit oil pressure, the Load Limit oil pressure will be in control. The AOP directs turbine load reduction to restore Tavg not rod adjustment. A. Incorrect. Plausible because the aux governor will limit load if it is increasing at 3% per second. If 2 PR Nls exceed 108% the reactor should be tripped; however a 5 psig (Maximum increase) from 50% will not cause power to exceed 108% B. Correct C. Incorrect. Plausible because the load will be limited by the load limit setpoint; however, restoring Tavg using control rods is not desired and may make ~I worse without a boron adjustment. D. Incorrect. Plausible because the candidate must remember that the load limit oil pressures are maintained within 5 psig of control oil pressure. Furthermore the candidate must remember that the lower of the oil pressures (governor or load limit) controls the turbine. If 2 PR Nls exceed 108% the reactor should be tripped; however an 5 psig (Maximum increase) from 50% will not cause power to exceed 108%. Technical

D. Its supply breaker is racked in and its control room switch is back in AUTO and the pump has been started using the control room switch AND using the auto-start relay. Answer: 8 Explanation/Justification: A. Incorrect but plausible. A candidate may believe that once the breaker is racked in that the pump would auto start.
B. Correct. The minimum requirement is to have the equipment in the proper configuration and verify the breaker will close and start the pump C. Incorrect but plausible. It is not necessary to verify the pump develops head etc. because nothing that was done calls in to question that this was affected. This is plausible because we generally schedule the routine surveillance to occur after removing a PTO for maintenance D. Incorrect but plausible. It is not necessary to verify that the pump auto start circuitry works. A candidate could conclude it is because racking out the breaker may affect breaker cell switches requiring testing auto-start.
