95. Given the following conditions on Unit 2:
  • A normal plant startup and power escalation to 100% was initiated following a refueling outage.
  • The reactor achieved 100% rated power (3468 MWth) approximately 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> ago.
  • MTI has informed the Unit Supervisor the Blowdown flow instrument for SG21 is reading approximately 100 gpm higher than actual blowdown flow.

The Unit Supervisor should:

A. direct the control room operator to raise power slightly since actual thermal power is less than PPC calculated thermal power of 3468 MWth.

B. direct an immediate power reduction to ensure the 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> average does not exceed 3468 MWth.

C. order that no reactor power adjustments be made for the next 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> so an accurate 1-hour power average is obtained.

D. order that no reactor power adjustments be made for the next 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> and then make adjustments to power as required.

  • The reactor operator responded by placing Rod control in MANUAL 15 seconds after the event.

Which ONE of the following may require prompt crew actions to ensure continued compliance with Technical Specifications?

Reference Provided: U2 COLR (Cycle 18) and TDB 2-Figure 13.1, Target Band and ARM A. Axial Flux Difference (AFD)

B. Quadrant Power Tilt Ratio (QPTR)

97. A LOCA that resulted in significant core damage occurred at 1600 hours0.0185 days <br />0.444 hours <br />0.00265 weeks <br />6.088e-4 months <br />. Containment Pressure and Radiation levels were recorded as follows:

Radiation Pressure Time (R/Hr) (psig) 1600 420,000 6.2 1630 420,000 6.2 1700 350,000 5.8 1730 280,000 5.3 1800 260,000 4.8 1830 120,000 4.6 1900 90,000 4.3 1930 90,000 4.0 2000 90,000 3.9 At 2000 hours0.0231 days <br />0.556 hours <br />0.00331 weeks <br />7.61e-4 months <br />, while performing Emergency Operating Procedures, a step is encountered which states "Check PZR level - GREATER THAN 20% [24%

ADVERSE]".

Which ONE of the following describes the required Pressurizer level and why?

A. 20% because the Containment Radiation levels are no longer above the Adverse setpoint requirement.

B. 24% because adverse values must be used until evaluated for lasting effects because the integrated dose limit has been exceeded.

C. 24% because adverse containment exists due to the current containment radiation dose rate.

D. 20% because the Containment Pressure is no longer above the Adverse setpoint requirement Page 97 of 100 Test Date: 7/2/2010
