During this time, xenon will be building in for the first 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br />, then decaying to xenon-free conditions over the remaining 70 hours8.101852e-4 days <br />0.0194 hours <br />1.157407e-4 weeks <br />2.6635e-5 months <br />.

A. Correct.

B. Incorrect. Plausible because it is the reverse of the correct answer.

C. Incorrect. Xenon will reach pre-trip levels about 25 hours2.893519e-4 days <br />0.00694 hours <br />4.133598e-5 weeks <br />9.5125e-6 months <br /> following a trip, after it has peaked. Since 25 hours2.893519e-4 days <br />0.00694 hours <br />4.133598e-5 weeks <br />9.5125e-6 months <br /> is a number related to xenon transients related to a trip, this number is plausible. 55 hours6.365741e-4 days <br />0.0153 hours <br />9.093915e-5 weeks <br />2.09275e-5 months <br /> represents the remaThder of the time to xenon-free conditions.

- The plant is operating at 45% power

- RCP C #1 seal leakoff is 9 gpm and rising Which ONE of the following describes the correct sequence of actions lAW AOP-0l 8, Reactor Coolant Pump Abnormal Conditions?

A. Trip the Reactor, secure RCP C and then implement PATH-i B. Trip the Reactor, implement PATH-i, secure RCP C as time permits C Secure RCP C, shut iCS-437, RCP C #1 Seal Water Return and initiate a plant shutdown lAW GP-006, Normal Plant Shutdown from Power Operation to Hot Standby D. Initiate a plant shutdown lAW GP-006, Normal Plant Shutdown from Power Operation to Hot Standby, secure RCP C and shut 1 CS-437, RCP C #1 Seal Water Return Plausibility and Answer Analysis Reason answer is correct: Per AOP-O 18, with power less than P-8, the RCP is secured, seal return isolated, and commence a plant shutdown.

A. Incorrect. RCP C seal has failed as evidenced by the magnitude of seal leakoff and continuing degrading conditions. This is plausible because when above P-8, the correct action is to trip the reactor, go to Path-i, and secure the RCP as time allows.

B. Incorrect. This would be the correct sequence per AOP-018 if power was greater than P-8. Plausible if applicant does not recognize that power is below P-8.

C. Correct.

D. Incorrect. This is plausible because icontainsns the correct actions in the wrong sequence.

-5. 201 2 NRC RO 005 Given the following plant conditions:

- The plant is operating at 100%

- CCW Pump A in service and CCW pump B in standby.

- A leak occurs in the CCW system causing CCW Surge Tank level to decrease.

The following CCW surge tank level indications exist as leakage from the system continues:

Ll-670A1 SA LI-676A1 SB Time 0933 39% 41%

0935 37% 38%

1003 3% 14%

1005 0% 3%

lAW AOP-014, Loss of Component Cooling Water, what is the EARLIEST time the operating crew is required to place and hold the control switches to STOP for affected CCW pumps?

A. 0933 B. 0935 C 1003 D. 1005 Plausibility and Answer Analysis Reason answer is correct: AOP-014 Section 3.2; Leakage From CCW System step 2 RNO directs the operator to place and hold the control switch for ALL affected CCW Pumps to STOP until CCW header pressure is <52 psig when: ALL operable CCW Surge Tank level indicators are <4% and CCW Pump flow indication is NOT normal.

A. Incorrect. Plausible because when the CCW Surge Tank A level is <40% this will cause the Gross Failed Fuel Detector and RCS sample panel to isolate.

B. Incorrect. Plausible because both A and B level detectors are <40% and either condition will cause the Gross Failed Fuel Detector and RCS sample panel to isolate.

C. Correct.

D. Incorrect. Plausible because both CCW Surge Tank level transmitters are below 4%. Step 2 could be misinterpreted that it takes BOTH operable CCW Surge Tank level indicators to be <4% before the RNO action is taken.

but IA WAOP-014 it takes either operable CCW Surge Tank level indicators to be <4% prior to stopping both of the CCW pumps.

- The plant is operating at 100%

- The OAC reports to the CRS that PRZ pressure is 2260 psig and slowly rising

- The crew enters AOP-01 9, Malfunction of RCS Pressure Control

- The OAC identifies that the PRZ group A backup heaters are ON and attempts to secure the heater group from the MCB have failed lAW AOP-019, (1) what action should be taken to control PRZ pressure AND (2) at what nominal pressure will the PRZ PORVs receive an open signal?

A. (1) an operator should be dispatched to locally open the malfunctioning heater breaker (2) 2315 psig B. (1) take manual control of the PRZ spray valves and fully open the valves (2) 2315 psig C (1) an operator should be dispatched to locally open the malfunctioning heater breaker (2) 2335 psig D. (1) take manual control of the PRZ spray valves and fully open the valves (2) 2335 psig Plausibility and Answer Analysis Reason answer is correct: Per AOP-01 9 it pressurizer heater fault to operate from the MCB then the operator is directed to cycle the heater breaker locally to control pressurizer pressure. Pressurizer PORV open setpoint is 2335 psig A. Incorrect. Plausible because the action to control pressure are correct, but the pressure for which the PORV is designed to shut as pressure is relieved B. Incorrect. Plausible as this action will reduce the pressure, but is not directed per A OP-U 19 because the PRZ Spray Valves are functioning properly and manual control is not desired and pressure for which the PORV is designed to shut as pressure is relieved C. Correct.

D. Incorrect. Plausible as this action will reduce the pressure, but is not directed per A OP-U 19 because the PRZ Spray Valves are functioning properly and manual control is not desired.

2012 NRC RO 7.2o12NRQoo7 Given the following plant conditions:

- The plant was operating at 100%

- A Tube Rupture occurred on the SG A

- Offsite power was lost

- The crew implemented PATH-i and transitioned to PATH-2 then transitioned to EPP-017, Post-SGTR Cooldown Using Backfill

- A RCS cooldown on natural circ is now required lAW EPP-017, which ONE of the following is the preferred order of dumping steam from the intact SGs to accomplish the cooldown?

1) SG PORV controlled at MOB
2) Locally operate SG PORVs
3) Condenser steam dump
4) TDAFW pump A. 1,2,3 B. 3,4,2 Cv 1,2,4 D. 3,1,4 Plausibility and Answer Analysis Reason answer is correct: The Condenser steam dumps will NOT be available since 0-9 (Condenser interlock) is not functional without any Circ Water pump breakers closed (due to loss of offsite power).

A. Incorrect. Plausible because operating the SG PORVs from the MCB is first and if they did not operate from the MCB one could assume that local operation would be the second choice. The Condenser steam dumps would not be available due to the loss of C-9 but would be a first choice IA W EPP-O1 7 if they were available.

B. Incorrect. Plausible if the candidate believes that the SG PORVs cannot be controlled at all from the MCB but lAW EPP-OO1 Note prior to step 28, even during a loss of all AC power the C SG PORV can be controlled from the MCB for a limited number of operations.

C. Correct.

D. Incorrect. Plausible since the three choices do not include the non-available Condenser steam dumps but the order that the list is in is not correct.

A. Feed ONLY one (1) SG to ensure RCS cooldown rates are established within Technical Specification limits B Feed ONLY one (1) SG to minimize excessive thermal stresses to SG components C. Feed ALL SGs to establish subcooled conditions in the RCS as soon as possible D. Feed ALL SGs to allow termination of RCS bleed and feed as soon as possible Plausibility and Answer Analysis Reason answer is correct: One SG is fed at minimal rate to minimize thermal shock and potential damage to the SG tubesheet when SGs are hot and dry. After feeding a minimal rate, flow may be raised later. One at a time to determine if tube leakage is occurring A. Incorrect. Plausible as operator is cautioned to control feedwater rates to prevent excessive cooldown for enhanced plant control not to comply with tech spec requirements.

B. Correct.

C. Incorrect. Plausible as the operator is allowed to depressurize multiple steam generators to allow condensate flow to be used for recovery of heat sink may be confused with actions to max rate cooldown during SGTR events D.

(1) 1CS-2, Letdown Isolation LCV-459 (2) LK-459F, PRZ Level Controller Plausibility and Answer Analysis Reason answer is correct: Instrument Bus SII supplies Pressurizer Level channel 460 and the affected of losing power is the channel failing low, which causes the its associated letdown isolation valve 1 CS-i to shut. With letdown isolated to reduce charging flow to the minimum amount the FK-122 must be placed in manual. This is required because the minimum flow while in automatic control is 15 gpm.

A. Correct.

B. Incorrect. Plausible since 1 Ca-i will shut, but the LK-459F controller will not be used due to limited control with FK- 122.1 in automatic.

C. Incorrect. Plausible since Charging flow will be controlled with FK-122. 1, but 1CS-2 will remain OPEN since it is controlled by LT-459.

D. Incorrect. Plausible since Letdown flow will be lost due to 1 CS-i shutting, not 1 CS-2, but the LK-459F controller will not be used due to limited control with FK- 122.1 in automatic.

With the loss of control power the indication on the MCB is not availalbe and the ability to remotely operate the breaker is lost as well.

A. Incorrect. Plausible because the breaker will remain closed for the MDAFW pump B and if the power supply that is loss were the 125 VAC UPS then the indications for the breaker would still be available.

B. Correct.

C. Incorrect. Plausible because the 6.9KV bus undervoltage will result in a safety bus B being stripped which will trip the breaker open automaitically and the MCB indications will remain available D. Incorrect.

Reason answer is correct: The ruptured ESW or NSW header is typically indicated by lower pressure and higher flow in the same header than those existing prior to the breach. By utilizing the data trends the candidate should be able to identify the ruptured header as the B header. IAWAOP-022 to isolate the rupture ESW Header the operator is directed to place and hold the ruptured header ESW Pump control switch to STOP.

A. Incorrect. Plausible because the decreasing pressure and flow indications on A ESW header could lead someone to believe the rupture is on the A line.

The second part of the answer is correct.

B. Incorrect. Plausible because the decreasing pressure and flow indications on A ESW header could lead someone to believe the rupture is on the A line.

The second part of the answer is plausible if the system were crosstied but the ESW has two seperate trains.

C. Correct.

2012 NRC RO Plausibility and Answer AnalysLs - -

Reason answer is correct: During a loss of IA when pressure is < 60# the valves receive an auto shut signal. The motive force to shut each valve is provided by air accumulators for each valve. The reason the air accumulators are neccessary is the valves would fail in the last position if there was not a motive force to shut them.

A. Incorrect. Plausible because at 85 psig it has been determined that spurious valve actuations will begin to occur on the Letdown system due to air pressure not being able to overcome spring pressure to maintain the orifice isolation valve open. The second part of the answer is correct.

B. Incorrect. Plausible because at 85 psig it has been determined that spurious valve actuations will begin to occur on the Letdown system due to air pressure not being able to overcome spring pressure to maintain the orifice isolation valve open. The second part of the answer is plausible because other plant valves have hydraulic accumulators to allow operation during a loss of power C. Correct.

D. Incorrect. Plausible since the pressure is correct and because other plant valves have hydraulic accumulators to allow operation during a loss of power.

Incorrect. Plausible because the base adjuster is used for a bumpless transfer voltage regulator control and AOP-006 for turbine/generator trouble provides trip criteria when exceeding limits on the turbine.

(1) an area radiation monitor (2) maximize letdown through both mixed-bed demineralizers Tuesday, March 20, 2012 2:44:59 PM 53

2012 NRC RO Plausibility and Answer Analysis Reason answer is correct: A process radiation monitor (RM-1 RR-741 1, Gross Failed Fuel Detector) is connected to Loop 2 and 3 hot legs and is used to detect. ALB-026-2-1, Gross Failed Fuel Det Trouble, IF alarm is due to high neutron activity then refer to AOP-032, High RCS Activity, lAW AOP-032 if a cation demin is not in service then place one in service.

A. Correct.

B. Incorrect. The first part is correct. The second part is plausible since mixed bed demineralizers are normally utilized during operation, but they are utilized for removal of particles, not reduction of activity (they do not remove Cesium like the Cation bed demin does). If the mixed bed demineralizer was effective in removing activity, maximizing flow would result in maximum purification and reduction of activity C. Incorrect. The first part is plausible because all of the monitors listed in AOP-032, High RCS Activity, Table 1 as entiy condition radiation montors reading higher than normal radiation levels are area radiation monitors. Any or all of these monitors will start seeing higher than normal radiation levels. But these monitors would not be the first monitors to indicate changes in RCS activity levels.

A. Correct.

B. Incorrect. Plausible because the start of a RCP will provide pump heat which reduces the low temperature concern of a PTS condition.

C. Incorrect. Plausible because the preferred method of RCS pressure control is the use of PRZ Spray which requires an RCP running D. Incorrect. Plausible because if SG where at a higher pressure and temperature than the RCS it will be a heat source not a heat sink and the more effective heat transfer method is the force circulation of the RCS vice natural circulation.

A. the Containment Spray Additive Tank should be isolated.

B the water is suitable for transfer to tanks outside Containment.

C. Emergency Service Water to Containment should be isolated.

D. the Containment sump contains enough boron to prevent a post-LOCA reactivity transient which could result in a loss of subcriticality.

Plausibility and Answer Analysis Reason answer is correct: Per the WOG Background document in an attempt to decrease the level in the containment sump the watershould be sampled for activity to see if the water can be transferred to tanks outside of the containment.

A. Incorrect. Plausible because Containment Spray Additive Tank is design to isolate on low level to prevent air binding of the containment spray pumps in the tank is not isolated.

Reason answer is correct: With Reactor power BELOW P-8 the operator will stop the RCP A (RCP associated with the failed Spray Valve PCV-444D: Loop B) and if pressure continues to decrease to below 2000 psig if in Mode 1 or 2 Trip the Reactor and Go To EOP Path-i.

A. Incorrect: Plausible because this action is performed if Reactor power is> P-8 but reactor power is> P-7 but < P-8. The second part of the answer is correct, ONLY the RCP A would be secured to stop the pressure decrease IA W AOP-0 19.

B. Incorrect: Plausible because this action is performed if Reactor power is> P-8 but reactor power is> P-7 but < P-8. The second part of the answer is plausible because AOP-019 would have the operator secure additional RCPs IF PRZ pressure continues to drop in an uncontrolled manner but would have to be BELOW 2000 psig. No indications of being below 2000 psig are given.

C. Correct:

D. Incorrect: Plausible because the candidate may consider that spray flow from the RCP B will continue to cause RCS pressure to decrease but AOP-019 initially directs securing ONLY the RCP associated with the failed Spray Valve. IF IF PRZ pressure continues to drop in an uncontrolled manner AND falls BELOW 2000 PSIG THEN: the operator would Trip the Reactor and Stop additional RCPs.

- PATH-2 is in effect due to a SGTR

- The RCS has been depressurized, and SI flow is terminated

- After normal minif low is realigned, PATH-2 directs the crew to transfer CSIP suction to the VCT (Level is 38%)

If the RO takes the RWST to CSIP valves to shut prior to opening the VCT outlets, what will be the impact?

The RWST supply valves will A shut causing a loss of suction to the running CSIP.

B. not shut since the VCT outlets are closed.

C. shut once the VCT outlets automatically open.

D. not shut since the alternate miniflow isolations are open.

Plausibility and Answer Analysis Reason answer is correct: The CSIP suction isolation valves from the RWST automatically open when a SI signal is present. The CVCS system interlock between the RWST and VCT isolation valves only prevents the VCT from being isolated without the respective RWST isolation valve being open first. With SI reset the auto open signal is removed and in this condition both RWST suction isolation valves can be shut and remain shut which will result in the lost of the CSIP suction path.

A. Correct.

B. Incorrect. Plausible because the system is interlocked to prevent the VCT outlet from closing with the RWST suction valve closed at the same time C. Incorrect. Plausible because the system is interlocked to prevent the VCT outlet from closing with the RWST suction valve closed at the same time, but the RWST suction valves receive an auto open signal from SI D. Incorrect. Plausible because the system is interlocked to prevent the alternate mini-flow valves from being open with the CSIP suction from the RHR system open to prevent water from the Containment sump from being sent to the RWST when the system is in Emergency Recirculation mode.

Given the following plant conditions:

- RHR A train is in service for Shutdown Cooling.

- The Instrument Air supply line to 1 RH-30, RHR HEAT XCHG A OUT FLOW CONTROL valve becomes severed and is completely detached.

- 1 RH-30, has a demand of 50%

Which ONE of the following describes the effect on the RHR system?

A. RHR pump A will reach runout conditions.

B. RHR pump A will operate at shutoff head.

C. RHR Heat Exchanger A outlet temperature rises.

D RHR Heat Exchanger A outlet temperature lowers.

Plausibility and Answer Analysis Reason answer is correct: Air to flow control valve failing Valve fails open. Therefore, more flow through heat exchanger, but total flow is maintained by the bypass valve, which will throttle closed when HX outlet flow rises.

A. Inorrect. Plausible because the Hx outlet valve fails open during a loss of air, but the valve travel is physically limited to prevent reaching pump runout conditions.

B. Incorrect. Plausible because the Hx bypass valve falls shut during a loss of air, but the outlet valve will fail out to provide a flow path for the discharge of the pump.

C. Incorrect. Plausible because this is the response of the system if the Hx bypass valve failed to the open position and the Hx outlet valve failed to the shut position during a loss of air

0. Correct.

Given the following plant conditions:

- EPP-009, Post LOCA Cooldown and Depressurization, is in progress

- RCS temperature is 500°F with a cooldown rate of 25°F per hour in progress

- RCS pressure is 1600 psig

- Containment pressure is 2 psig

- One RCP is running

- The crew is preparing to stop one CSIP and align the normal charging flowpath Which ONE of the following describes (1) the reason RCS subcooling lowers when the crew stops one CSIP AND (2) the RCS subcooling value that requires action to realign the BIT?

A. (1) RCS temperature rise (2) 40°F B. (1) RCS temperature rise (2) 10°F C. (1) RCS pressure reduction (2) 40°F D (1) RCS pressure reduction (2) 10°F Tuesday, March 20, 2012 2:45:00 PM 74

2012 NRC RO Plausibility and Answer Analysis Reason answer is correct: Per the EPP-009, SI reinitiation foldout critieria with normal containment parameters( <3 psig) the fold actions to realign SI are taken when subcooling cannot be maintained above 10°F and per the WOG background documents for EPP-009 the RCS pressure and Pressurizer level decrease which results in lower subcooling of the RCS.

A. Incorrect. Plausible because the SI foldout criteria subcooling value is correct for adverse containment conditions and subcooling lowers as the RCS temperature is closer to the saturation temperature for the RCS pressure at a given time, but a temperature rise is not the cause of this condition.

B. Incorrect. Plausible because the SI foldout criteria subcooling value is correct for normal containment conditions and subcooling lowers as the RCS temperature is closer to the saturation temperature for the RCS pressure at a given time, but a temperature rise is not the cause of this condition.

C. Incorrect. Plausible because the SI foldout criteria subcooling value is correct for adverse containment conditions and subcooling lowers as the RCS pressure lowers the saturation temperature for the RCS pressure lowers as well.

D. Correct.

(1) decrease to zero (2) remain constant D (1) remain constant (2) decrease to zero Plausibility and Answer Analysis Reason answer is correct: EPP-0 10 splits the recirc injection flow path into two headers by closing CSIP discharge cross connect valves. Loss of one pump will result in loss of flow on only that header. The A train CSIP supplies the alternate header through FI-940 while the B train CSIP supplies the normal header through Fl-943.

A. Incorrect. Plausible if the applicant does not understand the injection flowpath following completion of EPP-0 10. Flow reduction is plausible if both pumps are operating in parallel and one is secured.

B. Incorrect. Plausible if the applicant does not understand the injection flowpath following completion of EPP-0 10. Flow reduction is plausible if both pumps are operating in parallel and one is secured.

(1) Functioning as designed (2) Containment Sump level increasing;Containment temperature constant Tuesday, March 20, 2012 2:45:00 PM 79

2012 NRC RO Plausibility and Answer Analysis Reason answer is correct: PRT rupture discs have not actuated at the designed pressure of 100 psi, thus energy and radioactive liquid released through the PORVs is still contained within the PRT. Therefore sump level will be constant for the given conditions. CNMT temperature is rising due to loss of fan coolers on the SI signal A. Correct.

B. Incorrect. First part is correct as noted above but plausible if applicant misunderstands that once ruptured, PRT pressure will drop to approximately Containment pressure based on the large size of the disc compared to the in-flow from periodic PORV cycling. Nominally the rupture disc should relieve at 100 psi, but for the conditions given the rupture discs have not yet blown. Second part is incorrect C. Incorrect. First part is incorrect but plausible if applicant misunderstands that, Nominally the rupture disc should relieve at 100 psi. Second part is correct for the given conditions, CNMT temperature is rising due to loss of fan coolers on the SI signal, but CNMT sump level will remain constant until the rupture discs actuate.

D. Incorrect. First part is incorrect but plausible if applicant misunderstands that, Nominally the rupture disc should relieve at 100 psi. Second part is incorrect but plausible since the candidate may assume the rupture disc functioned as designed, but CNMT temperature will rise due to loss of fan coolers on the SI signal Tuesday, March 20, 2012 2:45:00 PM 80

- The crew is currently in EPP-012, Loss of Emergency Coolant Recirculation

- Containment pressure is 14 psig and rising

Reference Provided A. ONLY after the RWST level is < 3%

B. A Containment Spray pump can be secured now C With RWST level > 23.4% and Containment pressure < 10 psig D. ONLY when directed by operations staff after Containment pressure is reduced to < 10 psig Tuesday, March 20, 2012 2:45:01 PM 94

2012 NRC PC Plausibility and Answar Analysis Reason answer is correct: With a LOCA and Loss of Offsite Power AND the B EDG tripped ONLY the A Emergency bus will be powered. With Containment pressure at 14 psig a Containment Spray actuation signal would have been generated and ONLY the A Containment Spray pump and two (2) fan cooler units would be in operation. The Containment Spray requirements per EPP-012 step 7 with RWST level > 23.4% and Containment pressure

<10 psig is zero (0) pumps in operation with no requirement for the number of fan cooler units running.

A. Incorrect. Plausible because the requirements for RWST level <3% are 0 Containment Spray pumps running but the pump can be secured prior to reaching 3% in the RWST. Additionally, the foldout of EPP-012 states that IF RWST level decreases to 3% THEN secure all pumps taking suction only from the RWST. With RWST level at 34% the Containment Spray pump Ais currently taking a suction ONLY from the RWST but when RWST level goes below 23.4% an auto swap over to the Containment Recirc Sump will occur and the suction will be from the sump rather than the RWST.

B. Incorrect. Plausible because only 1 Containment Spray pump is required to be in operation with the RWST level at 34% and Containment Pressure of 14 psig. But, current plant conditions has ONLY one Containment Spray pump in operation. With a loss of offsite power AND the B EDG tripped the B Containment Spray pump does not have power and is NOT in operation.

C. Correct.

0. Incorrect. Plausible because PATH-i Attachment 9 provides guidance to the plant operations staff for placing Containment Spray in standby but this direction is when Containment pressure is <8 psig and has ran for a minimum of 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />.

- The crew enters AOP-0i0, Feedwater Malfunctions Which ONE of the following describes (1) the plant response AND (2) the action required lAW AOP-010?.

A (1) Automatic turbine runback is initiated (2) Isolate Steam Generator Blowdown B. (1) Automatic turbine runback is initiated (2) Trip the Reactor and go to PATH-i C. (1) Automatic turbine runback is NOT initiated (2) Isolate Steam Generator Blowdown D. (1) Automatic turbine runback is NOT initiated (2) Trip the Reactor and go to PATH-i Plausibility and Answer Analysis Reason answer is correct: Trip of the MFP B causes the Turbine to runback to <60% to reduce steam flow to within the feed flow capacity of one MFP. AOP-01 0 direct the operator to shut the blowdown FCV to reduce the inventory loss until the runback is complete A. Correct.

B. Incorrect. Plausible because a turbine runback will occur automatically and the power level is just below the value that would require the candidate to trip the reactor and go to PATH-i IAWAQP-0i0.

C. Incorrect. Plausible because the AOP-0i0 action for this power level is to shut the blowdown FC and if both Heater Drain pump where to trip then no runback would occur because 85% is below the power level (90%) for which a turbine runback would be caused by a trip of the last running HDP.

D. Incorrect. PlausThie because a turbine runback would not occur if both Heater Drain pump were to trip because 85% is below the power level (90%) in which that runback is active and if the above 90% initial power actions were taken for being initially above 80% then the candidate would trip the reactor and go to PATH -1.

Rapid introduction of feed flow.

A. combined with steam void collapse could cause AFW Pump run out conditions.

B. creates a higher AT across AFW system valves, resulting in thermal binding.

C. is the initiator for accelerated water induced erosion of AFW piping.

D and the resulting steam void collapse causes water hammer in AFW piping.

Plausibility and Answer Analysis Reason answer is correct: Per the AOP-01 0 basis document if steam has entered the horizontal portions of the AFW system piping the introduction of cold AFW water could create bubble collapse water hammer of a damaging magnitude.

A. Incorrect. Plausible because the collapsing of steam bubbles will result in a surge in the pump flow, but the discharge pressure control valve is designed to prevent the pump from reaching runout conditions B. Incorrect. Plausible because the backleakage from the steam generators will result in higher temperatures, but the AFW system has alarms to alert the operator before the system becomes susceptible thermal binding of the systems valves.

- The crew has de-energized the associated Process Instrumentation Cabinet in preparation for energizing Instrument Bus 1 DP-1 A-Si

- The crew is evaluating bistable status prior to energizing the bus Which ONE of the following describes the reason for checking bistable status?

A. When the Instrument Bus is energized, a reactor trip may occur due to the associated Process Instrumentation Cabinet being de-energized, if another bistable of the same parameter is tripped.

B When the Process Instrumentation Cabinet is energized after the Instrument Bus, energize to actuate bistables may experience a momentary inadvertent trip.

Checking other bistables ensures an ESF actuation will not occur.

C. Bistables are checked to ensure that each parameter for Process or Protection goes to its required state when the Instrument Bus and Process Instrumentation Cabinet is energized.

D. Bistables are checked to ensure that all lights are out, verifying that the Process Instrumentation Cabinet normal and alternate supply breakers are open prior to reenergizing the Instrument Bus.

Plausibility and Answer Analysis Reason answer is correct: Directly from procedure, check bistables to ensure inadvertent actuation does not occur A. Inorrect. Because the concern is energize to actuate bistables. Deenergize to actuate bistables would have caused a trip already.

B. Correct.

C. Incorrect. Bistables are checked for required state, but not prior to energizing a PlC.

D. Incorrect. Bistables are checked by looking at the lights but this does not verify the alternate supply breakers are open. This is done by checking the breakers prior to reenergizing the Instrument Bus.

- The plant was operating at 100%

- A Large Break LOCA occurred one hour ago

- Only one Train of ECCS equipment is available Which ONE of the following is the reason the source range count rate is indicating higher than normal?

A. The source range detectors are not accurate indicators under adverse Containment conditions.

B Attenuation of neutrons in the downcomer has been reduced by voiding.

C. Attenuation of neutrons in the core has been reduced by voiding.

D. RHR suction has swapped to the Containment Recirc Sump which contains a lower boron concentration than the ECCS injection.

Plausibility and Answer Analysis Reason answer is correct: Detector will be more responsive to voiding in downcomer than to voiding in core, downcomer is more likely to be subcooled and as the downcomer begins to void the SR will become more responsive to the neutrons that are leaking out of the core through the voided downcomer region.

A. Incorrect. Plausible because the Wide range flux monitors are designed for accident conditions and monitoring of a larger range of flux conditions that are expected to be seen following a major accident.

B. Correct.

C. Incorrect. Plausible because as vessel level is reduced attenuation of neutrons in the core is reduced, but the effect on the SR Nis will be minimial due to shielding of the core in the central region.

D. Incorrect. Plausible because some boron is expected to remain in the core as the bulk RCS fluid flashes to steam and the boron comes out of solution and is plated on the RCS fuel bundles.

2) 6-2 RPI NON-URGENT ALARM
3) 7-4 ONE ROD AT BOTTOM
4) 8-5 COMPUTER ALARM ROD DEV/SEQ NIS PWR RANGE TILTS A. 1AND3 B 1AND4 C. 2AND3 D. 2AND4 Plausibility and Answer Analysis Reason answer is correct: DRPI will generate a RPI Urgent Alarm when a failure of both Data A and Data B occurs. ERFIS receives information from DRPI to determine whether any one control rod within a group is> 12 steps from the group average. Since there is NO information for ERFIS to compare due to the Data A and Data B failure for the one control rod, ERFIS will generate a Computer Alarm Rod Deviation.

A. Inorrect. Plausible since the API Urgent Alarm will come in AND a One Rod At Bottom annuciator would have alarmed IF the Shutdown banks were withdrawn AND Control Bank A was withdrawn to> 12 steps. Since the Shutdown banks are NOT withdrawn and Shutdown Bank C is < 12 steps the alarm is overridden.

B. Correct.

C. Incorrect. Plausible since DRPI will generate a API Non-Urgent alarm when EITHER Data A OR Data B fail. But since both have failed a API Urgent alarm would annunciate.

D. Incorrect. Plausible since DRPI will generate a RPI Non-Urgent alarm when EITHER Data A OR Data B fail. The second part of the answer is correct.

Since there is NO information for ERFIS to compare due to the Data A and Data B failure for the one control rod, ERFIS will generate a Computer Alarm Rod Deviation.

(1) High charcoal filter temperature (2) AOP-036, Safe Shutdown Following A Fire Tuesday, March 20, 2012 2:45:02 PM 131

2012 NRC RO Plausibility and Answer Analysis Reason answer is correct: ARR charcoal filter trouble annunicator alarms when the temperature sensor exceeds 180°F with a reflash at 280°F. The high temperature causes the runnning fan to trip on the pre-high temperature alarm (at 180°F). The standby fan unit starts 12 seconds after the in-service fan unit trips. The question stem states that the BOP reviewed the APP and one could assume that this will take more than 12 seconds to pull the APP, read the APP and review the fan indications which would be enough time to allow the auto start of the standby fan.

A. Incorrect. Plausible because the annunciator is a charcoal filter alarm.

B. Incorrect. Plausible because the standby fan is running. The standby fan auto starts in 12 seconds if the operational fan trips but this is not a correct answer because if the fan were to have tripped on overload window 1-5 CNMT BLDG ARR FANS Si LOWFLOW- O/L would have alarmed.

C. Correct.

D. Incorrect. Plausible because the standby fan is running. The standby fan would auto start in 12 seconds if low flow were sensed (<8000 CFM) but this did not occur because annunciator window 1-5 CNMT BLDG ARR FANS Si LOW FLOW O/L is not in alarm.
