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:
Unit 2 is in Mode 5 FWST 1% = 3,950 gals BAT = 7500 ppmB RHT = 1038 ppmB FWST is currently 97% at 2790 ppmB INITIATING CUES:
The CRS has directed you to determine the amount of BAT addition and RHT addition necessary to raise FWST level to 99% and 2800 ppmB per OP/2/A/6200/014 (Refueling Water System), Enclosure 4.9 (FWST Makeup From RHT) steps 3.5 and 3.6.
CV has been waived for this JPM.
Amount of BAT addition - ___________ gallons Amount of RHT addition - ___________ gallons EXAMINER NOTE: Provide the applicant a copy of OP/2/A/6200/014 Enclosure 4.9 completed through step 3.4.

UNSAT PAGE 4 0F 9 START TIME: _______
3.5 Determine the required boron concentration (Cm/u) of the makeup to raise the FWST to the desired level as follows:
NOTE: Final FWST level and boron concentration shall comply with COLR requirements.
STEP 1: 3.5.1 Record the following:
desired final FWST boron concentration (CFWST) ______ ppm
desired final FWST volume (VFWST) ____________ gallons
initial FWST boron concentration (Ci) _______ ppm
initial FWST volume (Vi) ____________ gallons
makeup volume (Vm/u) = (VFWST) - (Vi) = ( ) - ( ) =____ gallons STANDARD:
Applicant determines :
CFWST = 2800 ppm (from initiating cue)
VFWST = 391,050 gallons (calculated from init cue and init conditions)
Ci = 2790 ppm (from initial conditions)
Vi = 383,150 gallons (calculated from initial conditions)
Vm/u = 7900 gallons EXAMINER NOTE: The applicant may decide to round down the volumes of the FWST, in which case VFWST =
391,000 gallons, Vi = 383,000 gallons, and Vm/u =
8000 gallons.
This step is critical to calculate total makeup volume.

This step is critical for ensuring termination of a release with inadequate dilution flow.
EXAMINER NOTE:
The Liquid Waste release Permit Report requires at least 27,600 gpm RL flow in order for the release to continue. If the applicant does NOT apply the dilution safety factor (listed in STEP 10 of this JPM), it will appear that adequate RL flow DOES exist (27,854 gpm). But with the required dilution safety factor, RL flow can only be calculated as 18,105 gpm: inadequate for the release to continue.
