NRC Exam The correct answer is C.
A) Incorrect. AOP-019 is the correct procedure because the valve failed open.
PCV-455C is operable because the valve can still be manually operated. Plausible if the student thinks that the valve is inoperable because it had to be manually shut or because automatic control is gone. The valve can still be operable without automatic control.
B) Incorrect. AOP-019 is the correct procedure because the valve failed open.
Plausible because if instrument that inputs into PCV-455C caused it to open, AOP-025 would be the correct procedure to enter. PCV-455C is operable because the valve can still me manually operated. Plausible if the student thinks that the valve is inoperable because it had to be manually shut or because automatic control is gone. The valve can still be operable without automatic control.
C) Correct. AOP-019 is the correct procedure because the valve failed open.

Pressurizer PORVs B 3.4.11 BASES BACKGROUND the PORVs minimize c:hallenges to the pressurizer safety (continued) valves and also may be used for low temperature overpressure protection (LTOP). See LCO 3.4.12, Low Temperature Overpressure Protection (LTOP) System.
APPLICABLE The PORVs and their respective block valves are provided for SAFETY ANALYSES plant operational flexibility and for limiting the number of challenges to the pressurizer safety valves. Operation of the PORVs is not explicitly considered to be a safety-related function for overpressure protection of the reactor coolant pressure boundary (RCPB) at normal operating temperature and pressure. Plant operators employ the PORVs to depressurize the RCS in response to certain plant transients if normal pressurizer spray is not available.
Operation of the PORVs in MODES 1, 2, and 3 is not classified as a safety-related function (i.e., one on which the results and conclusions of the safety analysis are based and that invokes the highest level of quality and construction). Also, an inadvertent opening of a PORV or a safety valve has been analyzed in the UFSAR (Ref. 1) as an anticipated operational occurrence (AOO) with acceptable consequences. For these reasons, the PORVs are not classified as safety related components.
Generic Letter 90-06 (Ref. 2) provided the NRCs resolution of PORV and block valve reliability concerns (Generic Issue 70). and set forth certain requirements to enhance safety.
The pressurizer PORVs have no safety function and are not assumed to function during any UFSAR design basis accident or transient analysis. However, inclusion of the pressurizer PORVs is consistent with the guidance provided in Generic Letter 90-06. Therefore, they are being retained in Technical Specifications.
LCO The LCO requires the PORVs and their associated block valves to be OPERABLE for manual operation.
An OPERABLE PORV is required to be capable of manually opening and closing and not experiencing excessive seat leakage Automatic control functions are not required for OPERABILITY of the PORV5.

CUCCC RESETTING HIGH IMPEDANCE FAULT TRIPS (OP-603-3 Page4of44 1.0 PURPOSE
- 1. To provide instructions for safely restoring an electrical bus following a high impedance fault trip.
2.0 SCOPE
- 1. To provide instructions for inspecting busses following a fault trip, determining if it is safe to energize that bus, and remove nonessential loads prior to energizing. Loads required for safe shutdown are loaded after bus has been re-energized. The remaining loads will remain de-energized until full troubleshooting and repair are completed.
3.0 PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS
- 1. Resetting of the Generator Lockout Relays 86P and/or 86BU should be done only after all applicable Generator Lockout Signals have been reset and/or removed. Attempting to reset either 86P or 86BU with a Lockout signal present will reactivate the fast bus transfer sequence and may cause a loss of 4KV busses. [Section 7.1.1 Commitment 3]
(CR 390095; OPS-NGGC-1 000, Resetting Protective Devices)
- 2. Protection devices (breakers, fuses, bistables, overloads, lockouts, and so forth) which have tripped should only be reset, with CRS approval, under the following conditions:
- a. The cause of the trip has been identified and corrected.
- b. Where no evidence of abnormality is present, it is permissible to restore the protective device ONE TIME (see below on MOV5).
Major control schemes (such as the 86 Generator Lockout scheme) SHALL NOT be reset without understanding the cause of the event AND required corrective action(s), unless it is determined that the action is required to support public health and safety concerns.
- 3. The SM may approve additional protective device resetting after consultation with engineering. Reenergizing busses without a proper investigation can lead to equipment damage, personnel injury or death.

(oC(cC Since an SI does not occur on a loss of DC Bus B, entry to the procedure will be via EOP-ES-0.1 Reactor Trip.
Certain actions will be completed while in EOP-ES-0.1, Attachment 7. These actions are:
- a. Transfer of Instrument Bus 3 to MCC-8.
- b. Shutdown of Emergency Diesel B.
STEP SPECIFIC DESCRIPTION AND RNP DIFFERENCES The following pages will provide the RNP step number and the STEP basis for each step where applicable. This is a Robinson specific EOP, therefore there is no corresponding ERG series of steps. This procedure covers an event that is not covered by the ERGs (Loss of DC). The entire procedure may be categorized as an SSD 10. The steps within this procedure will not interfere with performance of the EOPs since this procedure does not consider any other event in progress other than a loss of DC Bus B. The loss of a DC Bus at RNP is considered beyond design basis and is not analyzed in the UFSAR.
RNP BASIS STEP 1 STEP BASIS This step provides transitional direction for the subsequent step. If the Loss of DC occurred from an at power condition, the main generator output Circuit Breakers, 52/8 and 52/9, will be closed and action will be necessary to trip them.
If the event started from a low power or shutdown condition the subsequent step will not be necessary.
2 STEP BASIS On a loss of DC Bus B the North and South Generator Circuit Breakers, 52/8 and 52/9, will receive a lockout signal. Due to the loss of DC these breakers will not open. This in turn causes backup relaying to open other breakers to isolate the generator. In order to accomplish actions later in the procedure and to allow reclosing the backup Circuit Breakers these breakers must be opened.
There are no local controls that will open the breakers without control power. There is, however, a maintenance control (for testing) at each phase of the Circuit Breakers. This feature will trip the Circuit Breakers one phase at a time. Since this function was not intended to be performed by Site Personnel the Load Dispatcher will be notified to request assistance in opening the breakers.
3 STEP BASIS This continuous action step is provided to initiate efforts to repair the faulted DC Bus. It is placed early in the procedure so that efforts can be made to contact Maintenance personnel.
The high level step provides direction to diagnose the cause and provides transitional guidance. There are three possible failure mechanisms that are the most likely causes:
- Fault on B Battery
- Fault on B Battery Bus
- Fault on MCC-6 The failure, or tripping, of the in-service Battery Charger, is not a likely cause of the loss of DC since warning would be provided via an annunciator with ample time for Operator action to transfer the Chargers.
N4 STEP BASIS The note reminds the Operator that AFW Pump B will not be available due to a loss of Control Power.
4 STEP BASIS This step assures the maintenance of the secondary heat sink by maintaining S/G level at the standard range used throughout the EOP Network. In this case AFW Pump A and the SDAFW pump are specified since AFW Pump B is lost.
EPP-27-BD Rev 15 Page 4 of 9
DISCUSSION This Basis Document provides the step justification for a plant specific EPP. There is no ERG background for this procedure and no Safety Significant Deviation identification number is assigned for the steps since there are no corresponding ERG instructions.
The purpose of this procedure is to provide directions for combating conditions that arise from a loss of DC Bus A.
The procedure is intended to handle situations arising from conditions in which the EPPs are applicable (> 350°F).
This procedure assumes that no other casualty is in progress. Adjustment of the steps may be necessary if other events are in progress. A loss of DC is not an analyzed event at RNP and is not considered a credible event since a passive failure would be required to cause this event.
If the Reactor Trip Breakers are closed, there will always be a Rx Trip from a loss of power to the 52/RTA UV coil.
EDG A will always auto-start, (loss of power to air start solenoids), but without control power, it cannot flash its field or close its output breaker. Since DC Bus A supplies Inverter A, Instrument Bus 2 and 7 will always be lost. However, Loss of DC Bus A has vastly different consequences depending on the initial AC electrical lineup. Initially, if at power, following the reactor and turbine trip, 4 KV and 480V Buses will remain energized as the turbine coasts down. Bus voltage will decrease as the turbine speed decreases. DC Bus A supplies Control Power to Breakers on 4KV Busses I & 2, 480V Busses 1 & 2A, and 480V Emergency Bus E-1. (480V Bus 2B is normally supplied from 4KV Bus 1, 50 it will follow the effects of Bus 1. However, its DC Control Power is supplied by Bus B so it will not lose protective relaying)
- If these busses were initially on the Startup Transformer (SUT) they will remain energized. However, all Busses except for 480V Bus 2B will lose DC Control Power.
- If the busses were initially on the Unit Aux Transformer (UAT), the resultant Rx/Turbine/Generator trip will attempt an auto-transfer, but without DC Control Power, this will not occur. The UAT will be deenergized along with all the busses and components it was supplying. The Loss of E-i results in a loss of Instrument Bus 1. Since Instrument Bus 2 was lost from the Loss of DC Bus A, all bistables in both of these channels will fail and initiate an SI. (This will be a one-train SI since half the plant AC power is lost and the A train Sequencer is failed)
If the Reactor Trip Breakers were closed but all busses were still on the SUT, a Reactor Trip without SI will occur. If the Unit was at power and busses were on UAT, a Reactor Trip with SI will occur. Either way the EOP network will be entered. This EPP will be entered via PATH-i and EPP-7 or EOP-ES-0.1. Certain actions necessary for a Loss of DC Bus A will be completed in EOP-E-0 or EOP-ES-0.i attachments. These are actions that are performed to enable completion of certain steps in PATH-I and steps needed to combat the loss of DC. These steps are:
- Alignment of makeup to the Charging Pump suction by bypassing LCV-i I SB (CVC-358 is opened). LCV-i I 5B fails closed and since Letdown is isolated, a path of water must be aligned to the Charging Pumps.
- Instrument Bus 2 is transferred to MCC-8 in order to regain instrumentation to aid in diagnostics of PATH-i.
- The exciter field breaker is tripped locally to prevent further damage to the Generator and Exciter. As the Generator coasts down, the exciter will attempt to maintain voltage by increasing its output. Normal protection is not available because the control power to trip the Exciter Field Breaker is via DC Bus A.
- A EDG Fuel Racks are tripped to stop the engine. This is the fastest method of stopping the damage to the air start distributor. The EDG is running but can not be loaded because of the lack of control power to the Voltage Regulator.
- Instrument Air is isolated to the EDG to prevent start attempts and conserve air in the starting receiver.
- If MCC-5 is deenergized it is transferred to the DS Bus. If the loss of DC Bus A occurred from an at power condition MCC-S will be lost. Transferring the Bus to the DS bus will regain Instrument Bus i and safety related loads, such as valve operators powered from MCC-5.
This procedure and EPP-27, for DC Bus B have been credited in the evaluation of INPO SOER 81-15, PARTIAL LOSS OF DC POWER, recommendation 2C. No specific steps or sections were identified in the evaluation.

NRC Exam The correct answer is D A) Incorrect. 1/2 is incorrect. Plausible because this is the relay coincidence required for undervoltage, this is a degraded voltage condition. A degraded grid condition is 430V for 10 seconds. The undervoltage is 328V instantly. Place the plant in MODE 3 by 18:00:20 on 1/7/13 is incorrect. Plausible if they see the 7-day requirement and think that 1/7/13 would be the seventh day.

( LOP DG Start Instrumentation B 3.3.5 B 3.3 INSTRUMENTATION B 3.3.5 Loss of Power (LOP) Diesel Generator (DG) Start Instrumentation BASES BACKGROUND The DGs provide a source of emergency power when offsite power is either unavailable or is insufficiently stable to allow safe unit operation. Undervoltage protection will generate an LOP start if a loss of voltage or degraded voltage condition occurs on the emergency bus. There are two LOP start signals for each 480 V emergency bus.
Undervoltage relays with definite time characteristics are provided on each 480 V emergency bus for detecting a sustained degraded voltage condition or a loss of bus voltage. The Loss of Voltage Function is provided by two relays on each bus. These relays are arranged in a one-out-of-two logic, such that either relay will generate an LOP signal if the voltage is below approximately 68 for a short time (loss of bus voltage). The Degraded Voltage Function is provided by three relays on each bus, which are combined in a two-out-of-three logic to generate an LOP signal if the voltage is below approximately 9OY for a long period of time (degraded voltage). The LOP start actuation is described in UFSAR, Section 8.3 (Ref. 1).
Trip Setpoints and Allowable Values The Trip Setpoints used in the relays are based on the Degraded Grid Voltage Study (Ref. 2). The selection of these Trip Setpoints is such that adequate protection is provided when all sensor and processing time delays are taken into account.
Trip Setpoints and tolerances are specified for each Function in the LCO. If the measured setpoint falls within the tolerance band, the relay is considered OPERABLE.
Operation with a measured setpoint less conservative than the Trip Setpoint, but within the tolerance band, is acceptable provided that operation and testing is consistent with the assumptions of the setpoint calculation. Each Trip Setpoint specified is more conservative than the analytical values determined in Reference 2 in order to account for instrument uncertainties appropriate to the trip function.

-Unit 2 is raising power from 50% to 100% RTP
-Reactor power is currently at 55% RTP at EOL
-Control Bank D rods are at 171 steps
-30 minutes ago, a 200 gallon dilution to the RCS was performed
-The OAC pulls rods and releases the switch, Tavg and Reactor power steadily rise
-APP-005-E4, DELTA FLUX ALARM, is in
-VCT level has remained stable at 25% for the last 15 minutes Which ONE (1) of the following completes the statements below?
Based on the above conditions, the accident the crew is dealing with is a (1) accident. The basis for the LCO actions to address the Delta Flux Alarm is to (2)
A (1) uncontrolled rod withdraw (2) limit the amount of axial power distribution B. (1) dilution (2) limit the amount of axial power distribution C. (1) uncontrolled rod withdraw (2) limit the gross radial power distribution D. (1) dilution (2) limit the gross radial power distribution Tuesday, June 11,20132:10:26 PM 162
NRC Exam The correct answer is A A) Correct. Tavg and Reactor power rising are indications of a uncontrolled rod withdraw. APP-005-E4 refers you to LCO 3.2.3, Axial Flux Difference, which the basis is to limit the axial power distribution.
B) Incorrect. Dilution is incorrect. Plausible if the student thinks that 200 gallon dilution is too much. A normal dilution at power for temperature control is roughly 20 gallons.
However, 200 gallons would be an appropriate amount for raising power. The candidate should also realize that VCT level is constant, during a dilution, level would be rising. Limit the amount of axial power distribution is correct. APP-005-E4 refers you to LCO 3.2.3, Axial Flux Difference, which the basis is to limit the axial power distribution.
C) Incorrect. Uncontrolled rod withdraw is correct. Limit the gross radial power distribution is incorrect. Plausible if the student does not realize that APP-005-E4 sends you to LCO 3.2.3, not 3.2.4. 3.2.4 is QPTR and that LCO deals with limiting the gross radial power distribution. Both Deal with controlling power distribution, one is radially and the other is axially.
D) Incorrect. Dilution is incorrect. Plausible if the student thinks that 200 gallon dilution is too much. A normal dilution at power for temperature control is roughly 20 gallons.
However, 200 gallons would be an appropriate amount for raising power. The candidate should also realize that VCT level is constant, during a dilution, level would be rising Limit the gross radial power distribution is incorrect Plausible if the student does not realize that APP-005-E4 sends you to LCO 3.2.3, not 3.2.4. 3.2.4 is QPTR and that LCO deals with limiting the gross radial power distribution.

B 3.2.3 B 3.2 POWER DISTRIBUTION LIMITS B 3.2.3 AXIAL FLUX DIFFERENCE (AFD) (PDC-3 Axial Offset Control Methodology)
BASES BACKGROUND The purpose of this LCO is to establish limits on the values of the AFD in order to limit the axial power distribution skewing to either the top or bottom of the core By limiting the amount of power distribution skewing, core peaking factors are consistent with the assumptions used in the safety analyses. Limiting power distribution skewing over time also minimizes the xenon distribution skewing, which is a significant factor in axial power distribution control.
The operating scheme used to control the axial power distribution, PDC-3, involves maintaining the AFD within a tolerance band around a burnup dependent target, known as the target flux difference, to minimize the variation of the axial peaking factor and axial xenon distribution during unit maneuvers.
The target flux difference is determined at equilibrium xenon conditions. The control banks must be positioned within the core in accordance with their insertion limits and Control Bank D should be inserted near its normal position (i.e., 210 steps withdrawn) for steady state operation at high power levels. The power level should be as near RTP as practical. The value of the target flux difference obtained under these conditions divided by the Fraction of RTP is the target flux difference at RTP for the associated core burriup conditions. Target flux differences for other THERMAL POWER levels are obtained by multiplying the RTP value by the appropriate fractinal THERMAL POWER level.
Periodic updating of the target flux difference value is necessary to follow the change of the flux difference at steady state conditions with burnup.
The Nuclear Enthalpy Rise Hot Channel Factor (FH) and QPTR LCOs limit the radial component of the peaking factors.

QPTR B 3.2.4 8 3.2 POWER DISTRIBUTION LIMITS B 3.2.4 QUADRANT POWER TILT RATIO (QPTR)
ç BASES BACKGROUND The QPTR limit ensures that the gross radial power distribution remains consistent with the design values used in the safety analyses Precise radial power distribution measurements are made during startup testing, after refueling, and periodically during power operation.
The power density at any point in the core must be limited so that the fuel design criteria are maintained. Together, LCO 3.2.3, AXIAL FLUX DIFFERENCE (AFD) (PDC-3 Axial Offset Control Methodology), LCO 3.2.4, and LCO 3.1.6, Control Bank Insertion Limits, provide limits on process variables that characterize and control the three dimensional power distribution of the reactor core. Control of these variables ensures that the core operates within the fuel design criteria and that the power distribution remains within the bounds used in the safety analyses.
APPLICABLE This LCO precludes core power distributions that violate SAFETY ANALYSES the following fuel design criteria:
- a. During a large break loss of coolant accident, the peak cladding temperature must not exceed 2200°F (Ref. 1);
- b. During a loss of forced reactor coolant flow accident, there must be at least 95 probability at the 95 confidence level (the 95/95 departure from nucleate boiling (DNB) criterion) that the hot fuel rod in the core does not experience a DNB condition (Ref. 2):
- c. During an ejected rod accident, the energy deposition to the fuel must not exceed 280 cal/gm (Ref. 3); and
- d. The control rods must be capable of shutting down the reactor with a minimum required SDM with the highest worth control rod stuck fully withdrawn (Ref. 4).

JSYSTEM OPERATION SYSTEM OPERATION Normal Operation CONTAINMENT HVAC Outdoor Air Makeup and Containment Purge (HVE-IA and HVE-IB)
Prior to activating these systems after shutdown, the containment particulate and gas monitors R-11 and R-12 are used to monitor the airborne activity levels inside the containment as a guide for routine release from the building. One of the following is required for monitoring during CV purge operation: 1) R-11 AND R-12, 2) R-14C (Refer to ODCM Table 3.10-1). In Modes 1,2,3,4 and when moving recently irradiated fuel in the CV, the CV Ventilation Isolation signal from R-11 AND R-12 is required to be OPERABLE (Refer to ITS 3.3.6). If R-11 OR R-12 become inoperable during CV Purge operation when ITS 3.3.6 is applicable, the CV Purge supply and exhaust valves shall be closed IMMEDIATELY. The Outdoor Air Makeup system has an air motor operated damper that opens when the containment purge fan HVE-1A or HVE-1B is started or when the Vacuum Relief system is energized. The air temperature leaving the heating coils is used to control steam to the coils. The Containment Purge system is manually energized from the RTGB.
When the containment purge fan is selected, the outside air louver opens and the butterfly valves open, the fan then starts and the intake damper to that fan opens. Fans are interlocked so that if the running fan motor trips electrically the other fan motor will start. Stopping the fan de-energizes the controls, the dampers, intake louver, and the isolation valves shut.
IF R-11 OR R-12 alarms, THEN the running CV PURGE FAN, HVE-1A or HVE-1B will stop, and the following valves close:
- V12-6, CV PURGE INLET
- V12-7, CV PURGE INLET

NRC Exam The correct answer is B.
A) Incorrect. HVE-IA or B, depending on which one is running, will trip from R-12 failing high. R-12 failing high causes a containment isolation signal which in turn, trips the running HVE-1A or B. The effluent release cannot continue. Plausible if the student only goes to the section for R-14C being out of service.
B) Correct. HVE-1A or B, depending on which one is running, will trip from R-12 failing high. R-12 failing high causes a containment isolation signal which in turn, trips the running HVE-1A or B. The effluent release cannot continue on because both R-12 and R-14C are now OOS.
C) Incorrect. HVE-IA or B, depending on which one is running, will trip from R-12 failing high. Plausible if the student does not know what happens on a Containment Isolation signal or thinks that both R-1 I AND R-1 2 must alarm to stop the purge. The effluent release cannot continue. Plausible if the student only goes to the section for R-14C being out of service.
D) Incorrect. HVE-IA or B, depending on which one is running, will trip from R-12 failing high. Plausible if the student does not know what happens on a Containment Isolation signal. The effluent release cannot continue on because both R-12 and R-14C are now OOS.

NRC Exam The correct answer is C A) Incorrect. An automatic SI signal has occurred. Plausible if the student does not know the setpoint for the high steam flow with low steamline pressure SI setpoint.
Since the High Steam Line Flow alarms are already in, the only other thing they need is the low steam line pressure < 614 psig, which they have at 600 psig. The crew will transition to EOP-E-2, not continue on with EPP-16. Plausible if the student is unaware that Foldout D is in effect as soon as you enter EPP-16. Since one SIG pressure is rising, the foldout tells you to go to EOP-E-2.
B) Incorrect. An automatic SI signal has occurred. The crew will transition to EOP-.E-2, not continue on with EPP-16. Plausible if the student is unaware that Foldout D is in effect as soon as you enter EPP-16. Since one S/G pressure is rising, the foldout tells you to go to EOP-E-2.
C) Correct. An automatic SI signal has occurred. The crew will transition to EOP-E-2.
EPP-1 6 directs you to Foldout D as soon as you enter the procedure. This foldout has criteria that if S/G pressure is rising, transition to EOP-E-2.
D) Incorrect. An automatic SI signal has occurred. Plausible if the student does not know the setpoint for the high steam flow with low steamline pressure SI setpoint.
Since the High Steam Line Flow alarms are already in, the only other thing they need is the low steam line pressure < 614 psig, which they have at 600 psig. The crew will transition to EOP-E-2. EPP-16 directs you to Foldout D as soon as you enter the procedure. This foldout has criteria that if S/G pressure is rising, transition to EOP-E-2.

Plausible because APP-036-F10 does have you check the air conditioning is operating, however, its only if temperature is high, above 86°F. LCO 3.8.5 only is incorrect. Plausible if the student is unsure of the MODE requirements for LCO 3.8.5.
C) Correct. Per APP-036-F1 0, you do verify the heater is operating because temperature is below 69°F. You are initially in LCO 3.8.6 for the battery cell parameter being <67°F. The battery should be declared inoperable. Based off this, the candidate must determine if they should enter LCO 3.8.4 or 3.8.5.
D) Incorrect. Verifying the air conditioning is operating is incorrect. Plausible because APP-036-F1 0 does have you check the air conditioning is operating, however, its only if temperature is high, above 86°F. You are initially in LCO 3.8.6 for the battery cell parameter being <67°F. The battery should be declared inoperable.

NRC Exam The correct answer is A A) Correct. The immediate actions of FRP-S.1 has you trip the Generator A & B Circuit Breakers. This is an effort to de-energize the control rods and let them fall into the core. The CRS will transition to SACRM-1 because CETs are >1200°F.
B) Incorrect. The immediate actions of FRP-S.1 has you trip the Generator A & B Circuit Breakers. This is an effort to de-energize the control rods and let them fall into the core. FRP-C.1 is incorrect. Plausible because you would have a red on CSFST for Core Cooling because CETs are >1200°F which sends you to FRP-C.1. You would not go there because Criticality is a higher priority red ball on CSFSTs.
C) Incorrect. Opening the feeder breaker to 480V busses 2B and 3 is incorrect.
Plausible because this would de-energize the Rod Drive Motor Generators. However, FRP-S.1 has you trip the feeder breaker FROM 480V 2b and 3 to the Rod Drive Motor Generators. The CRS will transition to SACRM-1 because CETs are >1200°F.
D) Incorrect. Opening the feeder breaker to 480V busses 2B and 3 is incorrect.
Plausible because this would de-energize the Rod Drive Motor Generators. However, FRP-S.1 has you trip the feeder breaker FROM 480V 2b and 3 to the Rod Drive Motor Generators. FRP-C.1 is incorrect.

(1) General Emergency (2) Loss of the Reactor Coolant AND Fuel Cladding Barrier AND Potential Loss of the Containment Barrier Thursday, June 13, 2013 5:13:02 PM 98
NRC Exam The correct answer is A A) Correct. A SAE will be declared. R-32A indicates approximately 300 R/hr. This correlates to a loss of Fuel Cladding Barrier due to item #3 and a loss of Reactor Coolant System Barrier due to item #1. This gives you a loss of any two barriers per FS1.1.
B) Incorrect. A GE is incorrect. Plausible because R-32A indicates approximately 300 R/hr. This correlates to a loss of Fuel Cladding Barrier due to item #3 and a loss of Reactor Coolant System Barrier due to item #1. If the student misinterprets sump level rising for response not consistent with LOCA conditions (#2 of Containment Barrier),
this would get them to a GE.
C) Incorrect. A SAE will be declared. R-32A indicates approximately 300 R/hr. This correlates to a loss of Fuel Cladding Barrier due to item #3 and a loss of Reactor Coolant System Barrier due to item #1. The Potential loss of containment barrier is plausible if the student mistakes HVH-1 and HVH-2 tripping for < one full train of depressurization equipment operating. CV spray is still operating and so is the B train of HVH.
D) Incorrect. A GE is incorrect. Plausible because R-32A indicates approximately 300 R/hr. This correlates to a loss of Fuel Cladding Barrier due to item #3 and a loss of Reactor Coolant System Barrier due to item #1. The Potential loss of containment barrier is plausible if the student mistakes HVH-land HVH-2 tripping for <one full train of depressurization equipment operating. CV spray is still operating and so is the B train of HVH.

- 99. G2.4.23 SRO 001 Given the following plant conditions:
-The crew is in EPP-28, LOSS OF ULTIMATE HEAT SINK, for a total loss of the intake structure
-Subsequently a loss of all AC power occurs Which ONE (1) of the following completes the statement below?
The CRS (1) transition to EPP-1, LOSS OF ALL AC POWER, because (2)
Av (1) will NOT (2) EPP-28 contains actions to deal with a loss of all AC power B. (1) will (2) EPP-1 contains actions to deal with a loss of all AC power C. (1) will (2) EPP-1 has priority over all other EPP procedures D. (1)will NOT (2) EPP-28 has priority over all other EPP procedures The correct answer is A A) Correct. The CRS will not transition to EPP-1. EPP-28 has a note in the beginning of it saying that it has higher priority over EPP-1. The basis for this is that EPP-28 has actions to take care of a loss of all ac.
B) Incorrect. The CRS will transition to EPP-1 is correct. Plausible because EPP-1 is a higher priority EPP than all other EPPs except EPP-28. EPP-1 does not have priority over all procedures. Plausible because EPP-1 does contain the actions to deal with a loss of all AC power.
C) Incorrect. The CRS will transition to EPP-1 is incorrect. Plausible because EPP-1 is a higher priority EPP than all other EPPs except EPP-28. EPP-1 does not have priority over only the EPP procedures. Plausible because in most procedures, you cannot follow their mitigation strategy without power to the components. EPP-28 is the one exception that takes into account a loss of all ac power.
D) Incorrect. The CRS will not transition to EPP-1 is correct. EPP-28 does not have priority over all the EPP procedures, plausible because there are two procedures that it doesnt have priority over, EPP-21/25. EPP-28 sends you to EPP-21 to energize your pressurizer heaters and EPP-25 to energize supplemental plant equipment.

CAUTION Subsequent steps may require access to Non-vital Areas. Access to these areas prior to nullification of the threat could cause loss of personnel.
NOTE
- FRPs EPP Foldouts EPP 1 AOP-014 AOP-020 AND AOP-022 are NOT applicable for this event Transition use of these procedures should be made unless otherwise directed in this procedure.
- Any time MCC-6 is deenergized, coordination of field activities will require the use of portable radios cell phones. It is recommended that the DS Radios OR Fire Protection radios be used for this communication.
- 1. Check Reason For Entry - LOSS OF Go to the Section for the INTAKE STRUCTURE current Plant Mode:
MODE SECTION 3 Section E 4 Section F 5 Section G 6 Section H Defueled Section I
RNP BASIS STEP Main Body LOIS MODES I THROUGH 3 CI STEP BASIS Subsequent steps throughout the procedure contain local manual operator actions outside the Control Room. Prior to performing these steps the threat should be nullified. Previous steps in AOP-034 have directed the Control Room to have personnel seek shelter. An exact time can not be determined for when the threat will be nullified. The intent of the caution is to remind the Operator that prior to sending an operator to perform an action; he should have a reasonable expectation that the Operator can reach the area and accomplish the task.
INI STEP BASIS The note explains that FRBs, EPP Foldouts, EPP-1, AOP-014, AOP-020, and AOP-022 are not applicable for this event and that these procedures should not be implemented except as directed by this procedure. These procedures assume that the UHS is available and will not provide any meaningful strategies for this event. I AOP-014, AOP-020, and AOP-022 have actions or individual attachments which will provi e assistance, this procedure will direct their implementati Any individual steps that need rn lemeritation have been included in this procedure. T i ote s applicable for the entire procedure; therefore it has been placed at the beginning of the procedure.
2N1 STEP BASIS Most of the events that this procedure is intended to mitigate could involve a loss of 480V Bus E-2 and MCC-6. The Plant PA is powered from a bus fed by MCC-6, therefore under these conditions the plant PA will not be available. The note recommends that the Fire Protection or DS Radios be used for coordination of field activities. The plant cell phone repeaters are powered from non vital power and are not expected to last for longer than 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> following a loss of power. The DS/Fire Protection radios will provide a more reliable form of communications. The DS radios and fire protection radios both operate on the same frequency.
1-2 STEP BASIS These are decision steps to control the applicable portion of the procedure to be performed. Since the time frames for the two components of interest are so divergent, the procedure has been divided into different sections (see general). If both the intake and the dam have been lost the step is arranged such that the intake section is performed since this is much more limiting. Step one checks for a loss of Intake or Dam. The RNO (LOTG) sends the operator to the appropriate Section for LOTG dependent on the Mode at the time of the event. Step 2 sends the operator to the appropriate section for a loss of the intake dependent on Mode.
NOTE: The remainder of the steps in the Main Body or for a LOIS event for Modes I through 3.
3 STEP BASIS This step ensures the MSIV and Bypass valves are closed to limit the amount of cooldown. Based on simulator observations, when the turbine is tripped from greater than approximately 25% power, auxiliary feedwater is initiated from SIG low level resulting in additional cooling and a lower PZR level. In this circumstance when direction is given to stop RCPs later in the procedure, an SI is initiated due to steam line delta pressure. Isolating the steam lines early and establishing control of auxiliary feedwater flow prior to stopping RCPs helps to minimize the heat loss and reduce the likelihood for an SI initiation.
C4 STEP BASIS Based on calculation RNP-M/MECH-1 769, Operations needs to provide well water to the running EDG within 40 minutes after it starts to assure continued operation for the EDG or shut it down, and valve in well water to the CCW heat exchanger within one hour into the event to prevent CCW temperature from exceeding 125F. The 125°F CCW temperature is based on ensuring the integrity of RCP seals. This caution provides the times available for establishing the alternate cooling from well water for operator awareness.
