K/A# 2.2.42 Importance Rating 3.9 K&A: Ability to recognize system parameters that are entry-level conditions for Technical Specifications.

Generic Explanation: Answer A - The Reactor Vessel Water Level SL (2.1.1.3) is applicable in all Modes. RPV water level must be maintained greater than or equal to zero inches. Greater than 0 is also considered Adequate Core Cooling. EOPs direct lowering RPV water level, but the SL is still violated.

NRC Exam - 2010 QUESTION SRO 13 The plant was operating at 100% power when a LOCA occurred.

The following conditions now exist:

  • Adequate core cooling is being maintained
  • NO other ECCS pumps are available
  • Suppression Pool temperature is rising Based on the information from the attached SPDS screen print, select the statement below that describes the use of RHR A Loop for Suppression Pool cooling.

Reference Provided: SPDS screen print A. LPCI A must be diverted to Suppression Pool Cooling to ensure that Suppression Pool temperature is maintained below the Heat Capacity Limit, since LPCS can maintain adequate core cooling through spray cooling alone.

B. LPCI A may be diverted to Suppression Pool Cooling as long as LPCS is able to maintain RPV water level above -25 inches.

C. LPCI A must be diverted to Suppression Pool Cooling, irrespective of adequate core cooling, when neither Suppression Pool temperature nor Reactor pressure can not be maintained below the Heat Capacity Limit (HCL)

D. LPCI A may be diverted to Suppression Pool Cooling as long as LPCS is able to maintain RPV water level above -42.5 inches

Suppression Pool High Water Temp. / 5 Explanation: Answer B - The Print shows the scram was successful and ED was performed. Injection sources needed for adequate core cooling are not allowed to be diverted to suppression pool cooling.

However, adequate core cooling is defined as maintaining RPV level > -25 with injection. So, if LPCS can maintain RPV level > -25 adequate core cooling is assured.

A & C - incorrect - no directions are given tin the EOPs to divert injection sources required for adequate core cooling to suppression pool cooling to avoid exceeding HCL.

NRC Exam - 2010 QUESTION SRO 24 The plant was operating at rated power, when a transient occurred, resulting in the following conditions:

  • Drywell pressure is 3.0 psig and stable
  • Reactor pressure is 950 psig and stable
  • RPV water level is (zero) 0 inches and lowering slowly
  • No injection sources are currently available
  • RWCU Isolations have been bypassed per EOP-SPI 2.6, Bypass Of RWCU Isolations
  • RWCU blowdown rate is 60 gpm and stable
  • RWCU Recirculation and Blowdown Modes are being used to control RPV pressure
  • The Unit Supervisor entered EOP-4-3, Steam Cooling Based on these conditions, Emergency Depressurization should __(1)__ delayed. And, with regard to the RWCU system, the Unit Supervisor will direct the Reactor Operator to __(2)__.

A. be Secure Blowdown Mode and maintain Recirculation Mode B. be Maintain Blowdown Mode and secure Recirculation Mode C. not be Secure Blowdown Mode and maintain Recirculation Mode D. not be Maintain Blowdown Mode and secure Recirculation Mode

NRC Exam - 2010 QUESTION SRO 24 Level: RO SRO Tier # 2 Examination Outline Cross-Reference Group # 2 K/A# 204000 A2.12 Importance Rating 2.8 K&A: Ability to (a) predict the impacts of the following on the REACTOR WATER CLEANUP SYSTEM ; and (b) based on those predictions, use procedures to correct, control, or mitigate the consequences of those abnormal conditions or operations:

Excessive drain flow rates RWCU Explanation: Answer A - Based on RPV level trend, Emergency Depressurization will be required prior to reaching -25 inches. RWCU is draining 60 gpm from vessel inventory. This is resulting in lowering RPV level. When RPV level drops below 0 with no injection sources operating, Steam Cooling is entered.

When in Steam Cooling, it is appropriate to secure RWCU from blowdown mode to preserve RPV inventory. With no injections sources available, ED should be delayed as long as possible.

B & D - incorrect - blowdown mode should be secured C & D - incorrect - with no injection sources available, ED should be delayed as long as possible Technical Reference(s): EOP-1 Bases rev 1 Reference Attached: EOP-1 Bases pp. 47, 55, & 76 Proposed references to be provided to applicants during examination: None Learning Objective (As available): OT-3402-01-C-29 & 02-F, Question Source: Bank #

NRC Exam - 2010 QUESTION SRO 25 The following conditions exist:

  • The reactor is shutdown
  • Control Rod Drive Hydraulic system is shutdown Which of the following conditions require system manipulations to be directly supervised by the Shift Manager or Unit Supervisor per OAI-0201, Operations General Instructions and Operating Practices?

A. Adjusting FPCC Upper Pool flow while in MODE 3 B. Placing a RWCU Filter/Demin in service while in MODE 4 C. Shifting NCC heat exchangers from A to C while in MODE 4 D. Placing RHR B loop in Suppression Pool Cooling with RHR A loop is in Shutdown Cooling while in MODE 3

NRC Exam - 2010 QUESTION SRO 25 Level: RO SRO Tier # 2 Examination Outline Cross-Reference Group # 2 K/A# 216000 2.1.9 Importance Rating 4.5 K&A: 2.1.9 Ability to direct personnel activities inside the control room.

Nuclear Boiler Inst.

Explanation: Answer D - With CRDH shutdown, reference leg purge is out of service. With reference leg purge out of service, accuracy of the RPV water level instruments is questioned. OAI-0201 requires compensatory measures when performing activities with a potential to drain the vessel with the reference leg purge is out of service while in Modes 1, 2, or 3. With RHR in SDC, valve manipulations on any part of the RHR system must be supervised by the SM or US.

A - incorrect - with plant not in Mode 5, adjusting upper pool flow does not affect RPV level B - incorrect - OAI-0201 specifies RWCU system manipulations in Mode 3 must be supervised - not Mode 4 C - incorrect - per Risk Management, if the plant was in Mode 5 and NCC was affecting Decay Heat removal, this would require supervisors oversight Technical Reference(s): OAI-0201 rev 20 Reference Attached: OAI-0201 pp. 13-14 Proposed references to be provided to applicants during examination: None Learning Objective (As available): OT-3039-01-A Question Source: Bank #

Applicable Modes:

This includes a determination by the Emergency Coordinator that additional assistance similar to that provided by the TSC and OSC staffs, including a transfer of the Emergency Coordinator responsibilities to the TSC, is necessary for the event to be effectively mitigated. Transfer of Emergency Coordinator duties for classification, offsite notifications and PAR decisions, is used as an initiator since an event significant enough to warrant transfer of command and control is a substantial reduction in the level of safety of the plant. It is not intended to declare an Alert if Emergency Coordinator responsibilities are transferred out of the Control Room for convenience.
