A plant startup is in progress with the plant at 10% power when the 'A' recirc pump trips.

The 'A' recirc discharge valve (RV-53A) is SHUT by the CRO and then OPENED for 3 seconds.

Total jet pump flow as indicated on DPR/FR-2-3-91 is to the left of the natural circulation line on the power to flow map.

The flow summer is subtracting positive flow through the idle loop jet pumps.

Given the following plant conditions:

An A TWS has occurred The MSIVs are currently OPEN The CRS is ordering actions lAW EOP-2, ATWS RPV Control lAW the EOP study guide, which ONE of the following is the correct bases for the CRS orders?

Inhibit ADS - To allow time for boron injection to shutdown the reactor before allowing system actuation as a later EOP strategy.

Inhibit ADS - Prevent ADS System actuation during intentional RPV level lowering and possible subsequent injection of cold, un-borated water.

Incorrect - We do not allow ADS system actuation during an A TWS to prevent a thermal transient on the RPV or reactivity transient on the core due to cold water ection.

Correct

c. Implement OE 3107, Appendix P Maintain MSIVs OPEN by bypassing the high steam flows that occur during an ATWS with the mode switch out of Run.
d. Implement OE 3107, Appendix P-Maintain MSIVs OPEN to provide for A TWS generated fission product scrubbing in the main condenser and filtering in AOG.

Static Simulator Exams: None Last Revised: 2-4-13, BLS Incorrect - The MSIV isolation that is bypassed is for RPV low water level to allow terminate and prevent actions later.

This is plausible because VY has a 40%

steam flow isolation with the mode switch out of Run.

Incorrect - The main condenser is maintained available as a heat sink to protect primary containment.

An accident occurred and Drywell pressure is 5 psig with Drywell temperature 340°F and rising.

Based upon these plant conditions and the Drywell Spray Initiation Limit Curve, lAW EOP study guide, what adverse conditions could result from drywell spray initiation?

The evaporative cooling pressure drop may result in de-inerting the drywell by vacuum breaker opening following initiation of drywell sprays.

b. The delta pressure between the drywell and torus will prevent the vacuum breaker from functioning as designed.
c. The evaporative cooling pressure drop following initiation of drywell sprays may result in exceeding torus design internal pressure.
d. Lowering drywell pressure may reopen the SRVs, causing RPV pressure to drop below the saturation pressure for the current DW temperature.

Static Simulator Exams: None Last Revised: 2/512013 by Stewart, Brian Correct Response-- lAW EOP Study Guide, The DWSIL is a function of drywell pressure. It is utilized to preclude de-inertion following initiation of drywell sprays.

Incorrect - This is the bases for the level limit.

Incorrect - the vacuum breakers are designed to prevent exceeding the DW external pressure limit (2 psig).

Incorrect -The SRVs may open in lowering PC pressure, however PC temperature will also be lowering and the SRVs will close at a sufficient DIP to prevent falling below the saturation pressure for the new DW temperature.

The plant has just resumed power operations following a refueling outage.

The following conditions exist:

One train of Normal Fuel Pool Cooling (NFPC) is in service aligned to the Spent Fuel Pool with maximum cooling water flow through the in-service heat exchanger.

River temperatures are unusually high resulting in high Service Water and Reactor Building Closed Cooling Water (RBCCW) temperatures.

All trains of NFPC and Standby Fuel Pool Cooling (SFPC) are available.

Spent Fuel Pool temperature is 139° F and rising.

In accordance with OP 2179, Standby Fuel Pool Cooling, and OPOP-NFPC-2184, Normal Fuel Pool Cooling System, which ONE of the following actions is required?

a. Place the OTHER train of NFPC in service.
b. Maintain ONE train of NFPC in service and place ONE train of SFPC in service.

Secure NFPC and place ONE train of SFPC in service.

d. Maintain ONE train of NFPC in service and place BOTH trains of SFPC in service.

Static Simulator Exams: None Last Revised: 2-4-13 by Stewart, Brian Incorrect - SFPC needs to be placed in service and so NFPC must be secured. It is physically impossible for NFPC and SFPC to be in service on the Spent Fuel Pool at the same time.

Incorrect - SFPC needs to be placed in service and Normal FPC has to be secured.

It is physically impossible for NFPC and SFPC to be in service on the Spent Fuel Pool at the same time.

Correct Response-From OP-2179, P&L 8, Prior to the Spent Fuel Pool water temperature exceeding 140 0 F, secure the Normal FPC and place the SFPC System in service. SFPC is cooled by SW, FPC is cooled by RBCCW.

Question:

Which ONE of the following actions 1) is PROHIBITED by T.S. and OP 2110 and 2) why?

a. 1) Operation of one reactor recirculation loop with greater than a 50° F temperature difference between the loops.
2) To minimize thermal shock to reactor vessel nozzles.
b. 1) Operation of one reactor recirculation loop with greater than a 145 0 F temperature difference between the bottom head drain and the reactor saturation temperature.
2) Minimize bottom head drain to RWCU thermal stress.
1) Startup of an idle reactor recirculation loop with greater than a 50° F temperature difference between the idle and operating loop.

To minimize thermal shock to reactor Incorrect - The limit is on recirc pump starts with this delta temp.

Incorrect - The limit is on recirc pump starts with this delta temp.

Correct Response-In order to limit thermal shock to the reactor vessel nozzles and the bottom reactor head region on startup of an idle recirculation loop, two temperature limits have been established: The first

vessel nozzles.

1) Startup of an idle reactor recirculation loop with greater than a 145 0 F temperature difference between the bottom head drain and the idle loop.
2) Minimize bottom head drain to RWCU thermal stress.

Static Simulator Exams: None Last Revised: 2-4-13 by BLS thermal consideration requires coolant temperature in the idle loop to be within 50F of the operating loop prior to pump start. The second thermal consideration requires the bottom drain temperature to be within 145F of the reactor saturation start.

Incorrect - The thermal consideration requires the bottom drain temperature to be within 145 F of the reactor saturation temperature prior to pump start.

Question:

In accordance with OPON-3153-01, Excessive: Radiation Levels, which one of the following indicates a leak into the RBCCW system?

a. Lowering of Fuel Pool water level causes a lowering suction pressure to the RBCCW pumps and a concurrently rising refuel floor radiation.

Hi radiation alarm on the RBCCW Process.

Radiation Monitor and rising level in the RBCCW Surge Tank.

A rise in the radiation levels in the vicinity of RBCCW or Incorrect - Lowering fuel pool level due to a leak in the FPC heat exchangers would cause a rise in RBCCW suction pressure due to the head of water.

Correct - Per ON-3153. If the RBCCW radiation monitor indicates a high radiation level: Isolate the RCU system and check surge tank level indication to determine if the leak has been isolated, If the RBCCW surge tank level continues to increase, shift to the standby fuel pool cooling heat exchanger and continue to monitor surge tank level.

Incorrect -Rising rad levels around RBCCW is a valid indication of a

and high temperatures on the operating CRDPump.

d. Hi radiation alarm on the Service Water (SW) Process Radiation Monitor with concurrent indication of a RBCCW heat exchanger tube leak.

Static Simulator Exams: None Last Revised: 2-4-13 by BLS leak per OP-2182, P&L #1 Be aware of normal radiation levels in the vicinity of the system. Any appreciable rise in these radiation levels can indicate a possible leak into the RBCCW system. RBCCW supplies bearing and oil coolers on the CRD Pump, therefore, high CRD pump temperatures could indicate a lower RBCCW flow and not a leak into the RBCCW system.

Incorrect - A high radiation level in the SW system would indicate a leak into the SW system however by OP 2181 App B the SW system is maintained at a higher pressure than the RBCCW system, so leakage would be into the RBCCW system.
