• Calculator READ TO CANDIDATE DIRECTION TO CANDIDATE:

I will explain the initial conditions, and state the task to be performed. All control room steps shall be performed for this JPM, including any required communications. I will provide initiating cues and reports on other actions when directed by you. Ensure you indicate to me when you understand your assigned task. To indicate that you have completed your assigned task return the handout sheet I provided you.

INITIAL CONDITIONS:

• Plant was at full power when a S/G Tube Rupture occurred in the B S/G.

• Reactor was tripped and EOP-1.0 was completed.

• EOP-5.0, S/G Tube Rupture Recovery, has been implemented.

• B S/G has been isolated per EOP Supplement 13.

• Current S/G Levels are:

o A S/G = 35%

o B S/G = 85%

• Chemistry reports current PCS boron = 625 ppm.

• Cold Shutdown Boron concentration for current core burnup = 500 ppm.

INITIATING CUES:

• The CRS directs you to perform EOP-5.0 Step 54.a to determine the diluted PCS boron concentration that will exist if the B S/G level is lowered to 30% (backflow the isolated S/G to the PCS).
