Reactor Trip Recovery System Number E02 K/A EK1.3 Tier: 1 Group: 1 RO Imp: 3.0 SRO Imp: 3.4 L. Plan: A2LP-RO-ERTR OBJ 1

Description:

Knowledge of the operational implications of the following concepts as they apply to the (Reactor Trip Recovery): - Annunciators and conditions indicating signals, and remedial actions associated with the (Reactor Trip Recovery)

Question:

Consider the following:

- Unit 2 is operating at 60% power

- "A" MFP has been tagged out for bearing replacement

- Annunciator 2K03 A-11 "FEED PUMP TRIP" is in alarm for "B" MFP

- CRS directs tripping the Reactor

- SPTAs have been completed

- Control Room has been informed that "B" MFP was tripped inadvertently by maintenance personnel

- OP-2202.002, Reactor Trip Recovery EOP, has been entered Upon completion of OP-2202.002, S/G levels will be maintained at 60% by ______________________ .

A. 2P-1B Main Feedwater Pump B. 2P-75 Auxiliary Feedwater Pump C. 2P-7B Emergency Feedwater Pump D. 2P-7A Emergency Feedwater Pump Answer:

B. Correct Notes:

B. Correct. Based on OP-2202.002, Step 12.A (Contingency Actions), the operators are directed to start and commence SG feed with AFW pump 2P-75 using OP-2202.010, Standard Attachments, Attachment 46, EFW Flow.

D. Incorrect. OP-2202.002 directs using AFW pump 2P-75 to feed the SGs. Plausible because EFAS is manually actuated during SPTAs, at Step 8.A (Contingency Actions), because FW will not be maintaining SG levels. However, during implementation of OP-2202.002, operators will secure 2P-7A/B and start 2P-75 to feed SGs.

A. Incorrect. OP-2202.002 directs using AFW pump 2P-75 to feed the SGs. Plausible because OP-2203.027, Loss of Main Feedwater Pump AOP, does direct attempting to restart tripped MFP (Step 3.B -

Contingency Actions) and then if Reactor power greater than 4% and feedwater cannot be restored, then trip the Reactor and go to SPTAs. Since the stem indicates that the CRS has directed a Reactor trip, it can be assumed that MFP "B" was not able to be started and feedwater restored using a Main Feedwater Pump.

C. Incorrect. OP-2202.002 directs using AFW pump 2P-75 to feed the SGs. Plausible because EFAS is Form ES-401-5 Written Exam Question Worksheet 1

Data for 2014 NRC RO/SRO Exam 26-Feb-14 manually actuated during SPTAs, at step 8.A (Contingency Actions), because FW will not be maintaining SG levels. However, during implementation of OP-2202.002, operators will secure 2P-7A/B and start 2P-75 to feed the SGs.

Description:

Knowledge of the operational implications of the following concepts as they apply to Reactor Coolant Pump Malfunctions: - Natural circulation in a nuclear reactor power plant Question:

Consider the following:

- Unit 2 has been tripped from 100% power

- Reactor Coolant Pumps (RCPs) have been secured due to a power issue

- SPTAs are complete

- OP-2203.013, Natural Circulation AOP, is being implemented OP-2203.013 directs maintaing Margin to Saturation (MTS) ______ or greater to minimize reactor vessel head voiding. The Reactor Coolant System (RCS) is determined to be void free if Pressurizer level ____________ with Pressurizer spray in service.

A. 30°F; goes up B. 30°F; is stable C. 50°F; goes up D. 50°F; is stable Answer:

D. Correct Notes:

The Natural Circulation AOP requires a higher MTS [>50°F] step 5 and has the operator verify stable pressurizer level when Pzr spray is in service to check the RCS is void free. The Reactor Coolant Pumps malfunctioned due to a power issue and were secured. The operational implication is that the operators must recognize that while in the Natural Circulation AOP, the MTS minimum value is 50 degrees F. The operators must also know that head voiding is a concern while on natural circulation. So the question asks the operator how to recognize if the RCS is void free during natural circulation conditions by monitoring the Pressurizer level effects while Pressurizer spray is in service.

Loss of Reactor Coolant Makeup System Number 022 K/A AK1.03 Tier: 1 Group: 1 RO Imp: 3.0 SRO Imp: 3.4 L. Plan: A2LP-RP-ACCP OBJ 2

Description:

Knowledge of the operational implications of the following concepts as they apply to Loss of Reactor Coolant Makeup: - Relationship between charging flow and PZR level Question:

(REFERENCE PROVIDED)

Consider the following:

- Unit 2 is operating at 100% power

- Annunciator 2K12 B-3 "HEADER FLOW LO" comes into alarm

- Charging Header Flow (2FIS-4863) is reading 15 gpm

- Letdown Flow (2FIS-4802) is reading 26 gpm

- Pressurizer level is 60.0%

Assuming no further changes in charging or letdown flow and NO operator action, the first backup Charging Pump (CCP) would reach its auto start setpoint in approximately ______ minutes.

A. 7 B. 9.5 C. 11 D. 15 Answer:

C. Correct Notes:

Student should know that Pzr level setpoint is 60% at 100% power. Pzr level would decrease by 15 gpm with the stated conditions. 15 gpm in [from charging] minus (26 gpm out [from letdown] plus 4 gpm out [from controlled Bleedoff] ) equals -

15 gpm from the primary. Pzr level is 53.5 gallons per percent. 53.5 gal/% x 3.1% = 165.85 gallons required to be lost from the system to reach the 1st CCP auto start setpoint. [165.85 gals / 15 gpm = 11.06 minutes]

A. Incorrect: Number is based on using the VCT gallons per percent and accounting for RCP controlled Bleedoff flow: 15 gpm in [form charging] minus [(26 gpm out [from letdown] plus 4 gpm out [from controlled Bleedoff] )] = -15 gpm from the primary. VCT level is 33.8 gallons per percent. 33.8 gal/% x 3.1% = 104.78 gallons required to be lost from the system to reach the 1st CCP auto start setpoint.

[104.78 gals / 15 gpm = 6.98 minutes B. Incorrect: Number is based on using the VCT gallons per percent and not accounting for RCP controlled Bleedoff flow: 15 gpm in [form charging] minus [(26 gpm out [from letdown] ] = -11 gpm from the primary. VCT level is 33.8 gallons per percent. 33.8 gal/% x 3.1% = 104.78 gallons required to be lost from the system to reach the 1st CCP auto start setpoint. [104.78 gals / 11 gpm = 9.5 minutes D. Incorrect: Number is based on using the Pzr gallons per percent and not accounting for RCP controlled Bleedoff flow: 15 gpm in [form charging] minus (26 gpm out [from letdown] = -11 gpm from the primary.

Description:

Knowledge of the reasons for the following responses as they apply to the Loss of Component Cooling Water: - The automatic actions (alignments) within the CCWS resulting from the actuation of the ESFAS Question:

The PURPOSE for the CCW/ACW Return Isolation Valves (2CV-1543-1/2CV-1542-2) is to automatically _________________.

A. open on a Main Steam Isolation Signal (MSIS) to ensure cooling to the RCP seals is maintained B. open on a Main Steam Isolation Signal (MSIS) to cross-tie Loop 1 and Loop 2 Service Water returns C. close on a Main Steam Isolation Signal (MSIS) to separate Loop 1 and Loop 2 Service Water returns D. close on a Main Steam Isolation Signal (MSIS) to isolate seismic Category 1 piping from seismic Category 2 piping Answer:

D. Correct Notes:

D. Correct: MSIS and SIAS will CLOSE the inlets and outlets to CCW system to separate it from the Service Water system. SW provides cooling to components that are not safety related and therefore not seismic category 1. MSIS separates the seismic category 1 piping from the seismic category 2 piping.

A. Incorrect: MSIS will close 2CV-1543-1 and 2CV-1542-2. These valves are normally open to provide SW return flow from the CCW Heat Exchangers and the Main Chiller condensers to the SW return header. SW provides cooling to the CCW Heat Exchangers which provides cooling to the RCP seals.

B. Incorrect: MSIS will close 2CV-1543-1 and 2CV-1542-2. Loop 1 and Loop 2 Service Water returns are crosstied during an MSIS actuation via the Emergency Cooling Pond return valves.

C. Incorrect: MSIS will close 2CV-1543-1 and 2CV-1542-2, so the first half of the answer is correct. But Loop 1 and 2 Service Water return headers will still be crossed tied with these return valves closed via the Emergency Cooling Pond return valves.

Description:

Knowledge of the interrelations between the (Loss of Feedwater) and the following: - Components, and functions of control and safety systems, including instrumentation, signals, interlocks, failure modes, and automatic and manual features Question:

Consider the following:

- Unit 2 has tripped due to high Containment Building pressure

- Containment Building pressure is 24 psia and trending up

- Annunciator 2K01 B-7 "LO RELAY TRIP" for 2A1 is in alarm

- Neither Emergency Feedwater (EFW) pump is available

- "A" Steam Generator (S/G) Level is 200" (WR) and trending down

- "B" Steam Generator (S/G) Level is 21% (NR) and trending down slowly

- SPTAs have been completed

- CRS has entered OP-2202.009, Functional Recovery EOP RCS heat removal would be accomplished from the Control Room by starting ______ Condensate pump because A. 2P-2A; there is no control power for the "B" pump B. 2P-2B; the MFWIS signal cannot be overridden for the "A" pump C. 2P-2C; the MFWIS signal cannot be overridden for the "D" pump D. 2P-2D; there is no control power for the "B" pump Answer:

D. Correct Notes:

D. Correct: For the given conditions, a SIAS, CCAS, EFAS, CSAS, and a MSIS are all present. The CSAS and MSIS signals, along with the MFWIS, will isolate feed and steam to/from the containment to minimize the energy release into containment. OP-2202.009, Functional Recovery EOP, would be entered due to 2 events in progress (ESD and Loss of Feedwater) Normally the EFW pumps would supply feedwater for RCS heat removal but they are unavailable. AFW pump is powered from 2A1 is unavailable. The Functional would direct over riding the MFWIS signal on either the "B" or "C" condensate pumps by opening the control power breakers. This action makes the "B" and "C" Condensate Pumps unavailable to be started from the Control Room. "A" Condensate Pump is not available due to 2A1 being locked out. So the only remaining option is to start "D" Condensate pump from the Control Room.

A. Incorrect: "A" Condensate pump is unavailable because 2A1 is locked out. Second half of the answer is correct.

B. Incorrect: "B" Condensate pump is unavailable because it has not control power. The action in the EOP to open "B" and "C" Condensate Pump control power breakers made "B" unavailable for start from Form ES-401-5 Written Exam Question Worksheet 15

Description:

Ability to determine and interpret the following as they apply to the Loss of Offsite Power: - Proper operation of the ED/G load sequencer Question:

Consider the following:

- Unit 2 has tripped from 100% power due to a Loss of Offsite Power (LOOP) concurrent with a Safety Injection Actuation Signal (SIAS)

Which of the following list the major pump starts on the safety busses in the correct order beginning with the first pump start AND the reason why they sequence onto the vital buses at various times?

A. Service Water Pumps, HPSI Pumps, LPSI Pumps, Charging Pumps; to ensure RCS inventory and cooling are provided in the correct order B. Service Water Pumps, HPSI Pumps, LPSI Pumps, Charging Pumps; to limit the amount of current drawn from the EDGs during pump starts C. HPSI Pumps, Service Water Pumps, Charging Pumps, LPSI Pumps; to ensure RCS inventory and cooling are provided in the correct order D. HPSI Pumps, Service Water Pumps, Charging Pumps, LPSI Pumps; to limit the amount of current drawn from the EDGs during pump starts Answer:

B. Correct Notes:

The Service Water pumps supplies cooling for the EDG, HPSI and LPSI pumps so it is the first motor to start. The HPSI then LPSI then Charging are next to address the RCS inventory concerns. The large amount of counter EMF exhibited during large motor starts will be seen as a large current draw on the EDG degrading voltage and frequencies so the motors are sequenced onto the diesel to limit the current generated if all the motors started at once.

Description:

Ability to determine and interpret the following as they apply to the Loss of Vital AC Instrument Bus: - ESF system panel alarm annunciators and channel status indicators Question:

Consider the following:

- Unit 2 is at 100% power

- Annunciator 2K01-F10, "2RS1 INVERTER TROUBLE" comes into alarm

- Annunciator 2K01-J10, "DIST PNLS 2RS1/2RS3 GROUND" comes into alarm

- 2RS-1, 120 Vital AC Bus, voltage is reading 0 volts on SPDS As the RO you are asked by the CRS to verify status of ESFAS channels at Panel 2C03. Based on the above plant status, you expect _______________.

A. only Trip Path-1 status light to be out B. only Trip Path-2 status light to be out C. Trip Path-1 and Trip Path-3 status lights to be out D. Trip Path-2 and Trip Path-4 status lights to be out Answer:

C. Correct Notes:

2RS-1 powers the RED train (channel 1) components. Each Logic Matrix has 2 individual 12v power supply, powered by a different vital bus. A failure of 2RS-1 would cause one side of the AB Logic Matrix ladder, which would cause the AB1 and AB3 Logic Matrix relays to de-energized. This causes the AB1 contact in the Trip Path-1 circuit to open which de-energizes the Trip Path-1 circuit and makes the indication light on 2C03 go out. The AB3 contact will also open in the Trip Path-3 circuit, which causes the Trip Path-3 circuit to de-energized and the status light on 2C03 will go out.

- The IAO reports Battery Charger 2D31A has 0 VDC output

- All other systems and components operate as designed

- The CRS has entered OP-2203.037, Loss of 125 VDC AOP In accordance with OP-2203.037, the CRS would direct placing ALL points on EITHER _________________________ in bypass to prevent ________________________.

A. channel 1 (2C23-1) OR channel 2 (2C23-2); inadvertent Reactor trip B. channel 1 (2C23-1) OR channel 3 (2C23-3); inadvertent Reactor trip C. channel 1 (2C23-1) OR channel 2 (2C23-2); inadvertent actuations if the Reactor were to trip D. channel 1 (2C23-1) OR channel 3 (2C23-3); inadvertent actuations if the Reactor were to trip Answer:

D. Correct Notes:

D. Correct: The loss of 125VDC AOP will direct bypassing all points in either Channel 1 or Channel 3 to prevent inadvertent actuations of Green train components. If this action were not performed and the Reactor were to trip, both red train Vital AC buses would be de-energized causing actuations on the ESFAS actuations that come in when the parameter is low.

A. Incorrect: The Reactor will not inadvertently trip because the Inverters swap to Alternate Source when the Charger trips.

B. Incorrect: The Reactor will not inadvertently trip because the Inverters swap to Alternate Source when the Charger trips.

C. Incorrect: The Loss of 125V DC AOP instructs the operators to bypass all point on Channel 1 or Channel 3. Channel 2 is powered from the DC train that still has power.

Consider the following:

- Unit 2 is operating at 100% power

- Main Generator output is 1044 MWe

- Main Generator MVARS are 0

- A Grid disturbance causes Grid Voltage to Rise

- No operator actions are taken As Grid Voltage goes UP, Main Generator MVARs would become more ______________ and Main Generator Exciter is protected by the _______________________ .

A. negative (IN); Generator Maximum Excitation relay B. positive (OUT); Generator Maximum Excitation relay C. negative (IN); Under-Excitation Amperage Limit (URAL) circuit D. positive (OUT); Under-Excitation Amperage Limit (URAL) circuit Answer:

C. Correct Notes:

With no operator action, the MTG exciter field voltage is normally controlled in Automatic to hold MTG output voltage constant. As grid voltage goes up, the reactive load (MVARs) on the Grid would be transferred to the MTG (capacitive load or IN). With MVARs starting at zero, the overall effect would be MVARs becoming more negative (capacitive load or IN) when Generator field voltage lowers, the URAL sets a minimum voltage to ensure there will be no pole slipage. The Maximum excitation limit is used to prevent field overheating.

Description:

Knowledge of the effect that a loss or malfunction of the RCPS will have on the following: - S/G Question:

Consider the following:

- Unit 2 is operating at 100% power

- "D" Reactor Coolant Pump shaft shears A Reactor trip would occur due to _________________________ .

A. Low Steam Generator level B. Low Steam Generator pressure C. Asymmetric Steam Generator Trip D. High Reactor Coolant System pressure Answer:

C. Correct Notes:

C. Correct: The "D" RCP shaft shear will cause RCS flow to lower in the affected loop, heat transfer will also lower in that loop causing the power output of "B" S/G to lower and S/G differential temperature to get larger. The "A" S/G power output will rise to compensate for the loss output of "B" S/G causing a larger differential in steam pressures and temperature. With less flow to the "B" S/G correlates to a colder RCS temperature compared to "A" S/G. This differential in Tc between the loops will cause a reactor trip on ASGT.

A. Incorrect: S/G level will lower due to shrinkage from the lower output but will not lower to trip setpoint.

B. Incorrect: S/G pressure will go down but the RCS cold leg temperature will cause an ASGT prior to S/G pressure lowering enough to cause a trip.

D. Incorrect: RCS pressure will go up due to Tave going up but will be maintained less than reactor trip setpoint by normal control systems (spray).

- Unit 2 has tripped from 100% power due to a LOCA 15 minutes ago

- RCS pressure is 1400 psia and slowly trending down Low Pressure Safety Injection system (LPSI) injection MOVs are ________ and the LPSI pump recirculation valves to the Refueling Water Tank (RWT) would be ____________ .

A. open; open B. open; closed C. closed; open D. closed; closed Answer:

A. Correct Notes:

A Safety Injection Actuation (SIAS) occurs when RCS pressure drops below 1650#. The SIAS will start the LPSI pumps and open the injection MOVs to the RCS. The LPSI pump recirc flowpath is aligned to the RWT, if a Recirc Actuation Signal (RAS) occurred the LPSI pump is tripped and the recirc flowpath valves would go closed, isolating the LPSI recirc flowpath from the RWT. A RAS is not actuated based on the time given [15 minutes] the RWT holds enough inventory to supply the ECCS pumps for 30 minutes during a DBA. The given conditions does not indicate a DBA in progress [RCS pressure 1400#

and slowly trending down] therefore the LPSI recirc flowpath valves to the RWT are open.

Description:

Knowledge of CSS design feature(s) and/or interlock(s) which provide for the following: - Automatic swapover to containment sump suction for recirculation phase after LOCA (RWST low-low level alarm)

Question:

Consider the following:

- Unit 2 has tripped due to a Design Based Accident (DBA) LOCA

- One (1) hour has elapsed The suction source for the running Emergency Core Cooling Systems (ECCS) pumps is aligned to ____________________

and adequate core heat removal would be verified using _______________ .

A. Containment sump; Exhibit 2, HPSI Flow Curve B. Containment sump; Exhibit 3, LPSI Flow Curve C. Refueling Water Tank (RWT); Exhibit 2, HPSI Flow Curve D. Refueling Water Tank (RWT); Exhibit 3, LPSI Flow Curve Answer:

A. Correct Notes:

The RWT inventory will be transferred into the containment building in approximately 30 minutes following the Design Based Accident (DBA) LOCA. When RWT level reaches 6% (RAS actuation setpoint) the ECCS suction header automatically swaps to the containment sump. The LPSI pumps will trip on the RAS to prevent pump damage and cavitation of the HPSI and Spray pumps due to the LPSI high flowrate. LPSI pumps cannot be restarted unless RAS is reset or leads are lifted.

Exhibit 2 shows the expected flow for given RCS pressure that is required for Inventory and Heat Removal.

Cooling Water to the CEDM Coolers is normally supplied by _____________ and if Containment Building pressure rose to 20.0 psia the CEDM cooling would be ________________ .

A. Main Chilled Water; isolated B. Main Chilled Water; supplied by Service Water C. Component Cooling Water; isolated D. Component Cooling Water; supplied by Service Water Answer:

A. Correct Notes:

Normal supply is Main Chilled Water. It comes into containment and flows through the Containment Coolers (for preheat) and then to the CEDM coolers. With Containment building pressure >18.3 psia, a Containment Isolation Actuation Signal (CIAS) will occur. The CIAS will isolate chill water to the containment. This pressure will also cause an Containment Cooling Actuation Signal (CCAS) which will align SW to the Containment cooler. also, the distractor of CCW is valid due to the CCW system supplying loads inside the reactor building.

Ability to manually operate and/or monitor in the control room: - Emergency feedwater pump turbines Question:

Consider the following:

- Unit 2 is recovering from a complete loss of feedwater event

- 2P-7B is out of service for maintenance

- "A" S/G level 12% trending down

- "B" S/G level 19% trending down

____________________ and this would be accomplished by ________________________ .

A. overcooling the RCS; controlling pump speed B. damaging the feed ring; controlling pump speed C. overcooling the RCS; throttling the injection valves D. damaging the feed ring; throttling the injection valves Answer:

B. Correct Notes:

With S/G level <49%, the feed ring is uncovered and the water will flash to steam. There is a possibility of collapsing the feed ring when cold feed water is restored. The EOP direct controlling feedwater flow to <150 gpm to minimize the chance of feed ring damage. 2P-7A is the steam driven EFW pump and its S/G feed injection valves are not throttlable. The EOP directs controlling pump speed to control feed rate. This scenario also assumes 2P-7B is out of service and not available to start. 2P-7B is normally the first choice when restoring feedwater in a loss of feedwater event.

Description:

Knowledge of the effect that a loss or malfunction of the MFW System will have on the following: - S/Gs Question:

Consider the following:

- Unit 2 is operating at 80% power

- "A" Feed Water Control System (FWCS) Master Controller, 2FIC-1029, has been placed in MANUAL due to a malfunction

- Unit now trips

- No Operator actions are taken The "A" Steam Generator level would ________________ rise and operator action _________ required to prevent High Level Override from occurring.

A. continuously; is B. continuously; is not C. initially shrink then slowly; is D. initially shrink then slowly; is not Answer:

C. Correct Notes:

With the Master controller in manual the response to a reactor trip are unaffected allowing Steam Generator levels to be maintained by the RTO signal. When the RTO condition has cleared [level >55% after 60 seconds] operator action would be required to prevent S/G levels from continually rising as set by the manual demand on the master controller pre trip. With the Main Feed Regulating Valve going back to the manual demand on the controller, SG levels would continue to rise because feed flow demand is much lower post-trip than at 80% power. With no operator action, SG levels would continue to rise until the High Level Override setpoint of 82% level was reached. At that point, the HLO signal goes around the Master controller and straight to the individual component controllers, which would cause the associated Main Feed Reg Valve and Bypass Valve to go closed and the MFWP to go to minimum speed.

Ability to (a) predict the impacts of the following malfunctions or operations on the MFW System and (b) based on those predictions, use procedures to correct, control, or mitigate the consequences of those malfunctions or operations: - Tripping of MFW pump turbine Question:

Consider the following:

- Unit 2 has completed a plant startup and is raising power

- Current power is 5% and trending up

- "A" and "C" Condensate Pumps (2P-2A and 2P-2C) are running

- "A" Main Feed Pump (2P-1A) is in operation

- OP-2203.027, Loss of Main Feedwater Pump AOP has been entered The Main Feedwater Control System will _________________. In accordance with OP-2203.027, the first action to take to address the Main Feedwater Pump trip is to _____________.

A. automatically maintain Steam Generator levels at setpoint; verify "B" Main Feedwater pump (2P-1B) in service B. automatically maintain Steam Generator levels at setpoint; attempt to restart "A" Main Feedwater Pump (2P-1A)

C. require manual operator action to restore Steam Generator levels to setpoint; verify "B" Main Feedwater Pump (2P-1B) in service D. require manual operator action to restore Steam Generator levels to setpoint; attempt to restart "A" Main Feedwater Pump (2P-1A)

Answer:

C. Correct Notes:

C. Correct. The FWCS will open the MFRV's to try and restore level, but 2P-75 will not provide enough flow to restore SG level at 5% power. Per the Contingency Actions in OP-2203.027, it will only provide enough flow for 4% power. Therefore, manual operator action is required to restore levels to setpoint. In OP-2203.027, the Contingency Actions for "Check at least ONE MFW pump operating," the steps are lettered, not bulleted. Therefore, the actions have to be performed in order. The first action is to attempt to place the standby MFW pump in service. Therefore, "B" Main Feedwater pump (2P-1B) would be placed in service.

Form ES-401-5 Written Exam Question Worksheet 53

Data for 2014 NRC RO/SRO Exam 26-Feb-14 A. Incorrect. Although OP-2203.027 requires placing 2P-1B in service first, the FWCS, with the feedwater supply from 2P-75, would not be able to automatically control level.

B. Incorrect. The FWCS, with 2P-75, would not be able to automatically control level. In addition, attempting to start the tripped MFP is the second prioritized action in OP-2203.027, Contingency Action 3.

D. Incorrect. Although manual operator action is required, the action cited from OP-2203.027 is the secondary action.

Description:

Ability to (a) predict the impacts of the following malfunctions or operations on the A.C. Distribution System and (b) based on those predictions, use procedures to correct, control, or mitigate the consequences of those malfunctions or operations: - Restoration of power to a system with a fault on it Question:

Consider the following:

- Unit 2 has tripped from 100% power due to a large break LOCA

- Annunciator 2K09 B-3 "2A4 L.O. RELAY TRIP" is in alarm

- Containment pressure is 25 psia and trending up

- Annunciator 2K06 A-1 "2P-35A FAILURE ON ESFAS" is in alarm OP-2203.012F, Annunciator Corrective Actions for 2K06 A-1 _______________ starting "A" Containment Spray Pump (2P-35A) without assessment because __________________.

A. directs; safety function is not met B. prohibits; safety function is not met C. directs; #1 EDG is supplying power to its safety bus D. prohibits; #1 EDG is supplying power to its safety bus Answer:

A. Correct Notes:

A. Correct. To determine the correct answer, the applicant has to determine the effects of 2A4 bus lockout during LOCA.

With LOCA, ESFAS would start both EDGs. The 2A4 bus lockout prevents EDG #2 and offsite power from supplying this bus. EDG #1 has started, but with offsite power available, offsite power will continue to supply power to bus 2A3. Procedure OP-2203.012F, ACA for 2K06 A-1, Step 2.3.1, directs the start of 2P-35A without assessment. The basis for this is provided in procedure COPD-032, Section 9.3. With offsite power to a bus supplying a component that failed to automatically actuate, it directs that one attempt to start the component be attempted. This is because safety function that component is addressing is not being fulfilled.

B. Incorrect. Due to the situation, an attempted start of 2P-35A is directed. It is plausible that an assessment could be required prior to meeting the safety function. For example, if EDG #1 was supplying its safety bus, even with the safety function not met, an assessment would be required per COPD-032, section 9.3, second bullet.

C. Incorrect. It is true that starting 2P-35A is directed, but it is not because EDG #1 is supplying power to its safety bus.

Offsite power is being supplied to the safety bus.

D. Incorrect. Due to the situation, an attempted start of 2P-35A is directed. In addition, the electrical supply to the red train safety bus is offsite power.

- 2PIT-0407, 'A' MSR Shell pressure input into RSLLV controller 2PDI-0402, fails and causes the RSLLV for the 'A' MSR to fail open Based on the above conditions, 'A' MSR outlet temperature would ____________ and OP-2106.009 Attachment F, 2nd Stage Low Load Control, would be used to ____________

RSLLV to prevent large temperature mismatches on the Low Pressure Turbine inlet.

A. rise; manually throttle B. rise, manually close C. lower, manually throttle D. lower, manually close Answer:

A. Correct Notes:

A. Correct. Second stage heating comes from Main Steam. When the RSLLV fails full open, it causes more Main Steam flow to go to the second stage heating coil, which causes MSR outlet temperature to go up. Attachment F contains instructions to throttle the RSLLV to prevent large temperature mismatches on the Low Pressure Turbine inlets.

B. Incorrect. Fully closing the RSLLV will isolate steam to the 2nd stage heating coil for the MSR causing Low Pressure Turbine inlet temperature to go to low and would cause a temperature mismatch.

C. Incorrect. Low pressure turbine inlet temperature would go up, not go down.

D. Incorrect. Low pressure turbine inlet temperature would go up, not go down.

Answer:

B. Correct Notes:

The LRW/BMS Process Radiation Monitor, 2RITS-2330, provides an automatic closure of 2CV-2330A and/or 2CV-2330B.

This automatic feature occurs on a high alarm that is determined by the Unit 2 Liquid Radwaste Release Permit (OP-2104.014, Supp 1). Going to PULSE Cal will raise the detector radiation output above the alarm setpoint causing the valves to go closed. Testing of this interlock will prevent discharging liquid waste above the design limits.

Description:

Ability to (a) predict the impacts of the following malfunctions or operations on the HRPS and (b) based on those predictions, use procedures to correct, control, or mitigate the consequences of those malfunctions or operations: - The hydrogen air concentration I excessof limit flame propagation or detonation with resulting equipment damage in containment Question:

In accordance with OP-2202.003, Loss of Coolant Accident EOP, Hydrogen Analyzers are placed in service within _______

minutes of the beginning of an accident to ensure a representative sample is obtained. A DETONATION inside the Containment Building is likely to occur if Hydrogen concentration reaches ____ %

A. 70; 4 B. 70; 18 C. 90; 4 D. 90; 18 Answer:

B. Correct Notes:

The Hydrogen analyzers are required to be placed in service within 90 minutes of the diagnoses of LOCA. Hydrogen analyzers have a 20 minute transport time from when started to when an representative air stream is being sampled. Actions in the EOPs (LOCA, ESD, Functional Recovery) required the start of the analyzers within 70 minutes for this reason. 4% hydrogen concentration is right at the flammability limit inside containment. At 18% hydrogen concentration a detonation would occur.

Knowledge of Containment Purge System design feature(s) and/or interlock(s) which provide for the following: - Automatic purge isolation Question:

Consider the following:

- Unit 2 is in Mode 6

- Refueling is in progress

- Containment Building Purge System is in service

- An inadvertent CIAS has occurred What is the status of the Containment Building Purge System?

A. Only two purge isolation valves close; supply fan tripped due to HIGH pressure in the supply duct; exhaust fan tripped 10 seconds later B. Only two purge isolation valves close; exhaust fan tripped due to LOW pressure in the exhaust duct; supply fan tripped 10 seconds later C. All six purge isolation valves close; supply fan tripped due to HIGH pressure in the supply duct; exhaust fan tripped 10 seconds later D. All six purge isolation valves close; exhaust fan tripped due to LOW pressure in the exhaust duct; supply fan tripped 10 seconds later Answer:

D. Correct Notes:

If an SIAS or a CIAS is received, all six purge isolation valves automatically close compared to only 2 isolation valves on a high radiation signal. When this happens, the exhaust fan draws down the pressure in the exhaust duct to less than -5.0 inches water gauge tripping the exhaust fan. Ten seconds later the supply fan trips.

- Instrument Air header pressure is reading 10 psig and trending down

- NO operator actions are taken The RCS cooldown limit ____________ be exceeded due to ________________________________ .

A. would; the upstream atmosphere dump valves failing open B. would; the downstream atmosphere dump valves failing open C. would not; the upstream atmosphere dump valves failing closed D. would not; the downstream atmosphere dump valves failing closed Answer:

D. Correct Notes:

The downstream atmosphere dump valves fail closed on a loss of Instrument Air stopping the cooldown and the upstream atmosphere dump valves do fail open on a loss of Instrument Air but are normally manually isolated from the Main Steam header, therefore would not affect the RCS.

Knowledge of the physical connections and/or cause-effect relationships between the MT/G System and the following systems: - RCS, during steam valve test Question:

Consider the following:

- Unit 2 is operating at 97% power

- OP-2106.009, Supplement 3, Turbine Generator Valve Stroke Test surveillance is in progress OP-2106.009 directs placing first stage pressure feedback in service because first stage pressure feedback ______________. If first stage pressure feedback is NOT placed in service, when stroking a high pressure turbine control valve CLOSED the RCS temperature initially _____________.

A. will open the other high pressure turbine control valves to compensate for the closure of the tested high pressure turbine control valve; increases B. will open the other high pressure turbine control valves to compensate for the closure of the tested high pressure turbine control valve; remains the same C. will lock the other high pressure turbine control valves in place and uses steam bypass valves to compensate for closure of the tested high pressure turbine control valve; increases D. will lock the other high pressure turbine control valves in place and uses steam bypass valves to compensate for closure of the tested high pressure turbine control valve; remains the same Answer:

A. Correct Notes:

A. Correct. Per procedure OP-2106.009, first stage pressure feedback opens the other high pressure turbine control valves to maintain turbine load NEAR pre-test values. Due to stroke time, the opening of the other high pressure turbine control valves is slightly delayed. Therefore the RCS temperature will initially increase due to the lower steam demand versus steam supply, resulting in less heat transfer in the steam generators and a high RCS temperature.

B. Incorrect. Plausible if the candidate does not take into account the delayed response of the other high pressure turbine control valves.

C. Incorrect. First stage pressure feedback opens the other control valves, not steam dumps but is plausible because the procedure has instructions for using steam dumps to maintain the power level constant while reducing turbine load.

D. Correct Notes:

D. Correct: Shift Technical Advisor; Work Incomplete or Temporary Services and Equipment tag A and B are incorrect because the Shift Technical Advisor (STA) performs the system operability not the system engineer.

The system engineers technical knowledge may be relied upon to make the appropriate operability call- but the final determination will be made by the STA.

A and C are incorrect because there are no Equipment Out of Service Tags, and a Caution Tag is a specific tag, not a generic tag as called for in the procedure.

Description:

Ability to determine and interpret the following as they apply to a small break LOCA: - Whether PZR water inventory loss is imminent Question:

(REFERENCE PROVIDED)

Consider the following:

- Unit 2 is operating at 100% power

- "C" CCP (2P-36C) is aligned to Green

- ATC reports Containment parameters are trending up (pressure, temperature, radiation, and humidity)

- Pressurizer level is 60%

- Volume Control Tank (VCT) level is 72%

3 minutes later:

- Pressurizer level is 59%

- VCT level is 71%

Unit 2 now trips due to a Loss of Offsite Power (LOOP)

- Annunciator 2K08 C-2 "ENGINE/EXCITER SHUTDOWN" for #1 EDG is in alarm

- RCS Leakrate does not change post trip Based on conditions above, the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) inventory (Pressurizer level) ________ recover (trend up) and after performing SPTAs, the CRS would diagnose entry into _________________________________.

A. would; OP-2203.016, Excess RCS Leakage B. would; OP-2202.003, Loss of Coolant Accident C. would not; OP-2203.016, Excess RCS Leakage D. would not; OP-2202.003, Loss of Coolant Accident Answer:

B. Correct Notes:

With a RCS leak in progress, Letdown will respond by reducing flow to 28 gpm (minimum design flow). 40 gpm is being added to the RCS by the lead CCP (44 gpm capicity - 4 gpm RCP controlled bleedoff) and based on the leakrate (29.1 gpm)

PZR level will be lowering by 17 gpm (40 gpm going in minus 28 gpm that is being taken out by letdown minus 29 gpm leak

= -17 gpm) The leakrate is based on 53.5 gallons per percent in the pressurizer x 1% change in level = 53.5 gallons and 33.8 gallons per percent in the VCT x 1% change in level = 33.8 gallons. 53.5 + 33.8 = 87.3 gallons / 3 minutes (time frame the Form ES-401-5 Written Exam Question Worksheet 94

Data for 2014 NRC RO/SRO Exam 26-Feb-14 leakrate data was taken) = 29.1 gallon/minutes RCS leakage. Due to the calculated RCS leakrate the CRS would direct entry into Excess RCS Leakage AOP. The Loss of Offsite Power (LOOP) will cause a Reactor trip and the CRS, after completing SPTAs, would direct entry into the LOCA EOP (Excess RCS leakrate plus LOOP). With the #1 EDG not supplying its Safety bus (exciter shutdown) only the Green Train components will be available for makeup sources. 2 CCPs (with a capacity of 44 gpm each) would be available for makeup to the Pressurizer. (RCS makeup > RSC leakage) therefore Pressurizer level would trend up at approximately 1% / minute. With a leakrate of 29.1 gpm entry conditions for OP-2203.016, Excess RCS Leakage.

Exhibit 8 will direct the CRS to diagnose LOCA due to a RCS leak with a LOOP.

A. Incorrect. Pressurizer level would be trending up, but it is incorrect to diagnose Excess RCS leakage AOP. Per Exhibit 8 of Standard Attachments, when an AOP is combined with a LOOP, the associated EOP is diagnosed, which is the LOCA EOP. Plausible because the Excess RCS Leakage AOP could be diagnosed coming out of Standard Post Trip Actions.

B. Correct. Pressurizer level would be recovering and per Standard Attachments Exhibit 8, Excess RCS Leakage AOP plus a LOOP EOP results in a diagnosis of the LOCA EOP.

C. Incorrect. Per the calculation above, Pressurizer level would be recovering not going down. Plausible because the candidate may not recognize Excess RCS Leakage AOP plus Loss Of Offsite Power EOP would require entry into Loss of Coolant Accident EOP (LOCA).

D. Incorrect. Per the calculation above, Pressurizer level would be recovering not going down. Plausible because the candidate could calculate the wrong leakrate.

C. Correct Notes:

A. Incorrect. LOCA EOP would not be diagnosed in this scenario because the Containment Low Range Radiation Monitors are reading normal and stable and 'A' SG pressure is lowering. The Containment High Range Radiation Monitors are in alarm and rising, which could distract the applicant, but the coaxial cables for these radiation monitors have been susceptible to thermally induced currents which make them read false high during an ESD. Plausible because all the other indications are consistent with a LOCA.

B. Incorrect. LOCA EOP would not be diagnosed in this scenario because the Containment Low Range Radiation Monitors are reading normal and stable and 'A' SG pressure is lowering. The Containment High Range Radiation Monitors are in alarm and rising, which could distract the applicant, but the coaxial cables for these radiation monitors have been susceptible to thermally induced currents which make them read false high during an ESD. Plausible because all the other indications are consistent with a LOCA.

Form ES-401-5 Written Exam Question Worksheet 96

Data for 2014 NRC RO/SRO Exam 26-Feb-14 C. Correct. ESD EOP diagnosis is correct based on lowering RCS pressure, Containment Low Range Radiation Monitors stable, and 'A' SG pressure trending down. MSIS actuates at 751 psia. Both Steam Generators will be fed by EFW until 751 psia is reached. At that point, the EFAS initiation logic would isolate EFW flow to the affected SG 'A'. SG 'B' would continue to be fed by EFW.

D. Incorrect. ESD EOP diagnosis is correct based on lowering RCS pressure, Containment Low Range Radiation Monitors stable, and 'A' SG pressure trending down. MSIS actuates at 751 psia. Both Steam Generators will be fed by EFW until 751 psia is reached. At that point, the EFAS initiation logic would isolate EFW flow to the affected SG 'A'. SG 'B' would continue to be fed by EFW. So what makes this distractor incorrect is that 'A' SG would not be fed with pressure less than 751 psia. Plausible because 'A' SG would be fed until 751 psia is reached and then it would be isolated by the EFAS initiation logic.

C. OP-2202.008, Station Blackout EOP; Quench Tank (QT)

D. OP-2202.008, Station Blackout EOP; Volume Control Tank (VCT)

Answer:

C. Correct Notes:

The student should recognize a Station Blackout is in progress (due to the LOOP, AACDG OOS and neither EDG starting)

The CRS would diagnose the Station Blackout EOP using Standard Attachments Exhibit 8, Diagnosis Flow Chart. Without power to the non-vital buses, there would be no Instrument Air pressure and the CBO flowpath to the VCT would isolate (valves fail close) which will align CBO to the QT through the CBO relief valve.

A. Incorrect. Because neither EDG could be started during SPTAs and the AAC DG is unavailable, both 2A3 and 2A4 are de-energized. This meets the entry conditions for the SBO EOP. Plausible because a LOOP does exist in the stem of the question.

B. Incorrect. Because neither EDG could be started during SPTAs and the AAC DG is unavailable, both 2A3 and 2A4 are de-energized. This meets the entry conditions for the SBO EOP. Plausible because a LOOP does exist in the stem of the question.

B. Correct Notes:

With the Green Battery disconnected from its bus [2D02] the battery charger is supplying all green DC loads. When the chargers breaker trips open, a loss of green DC will occur. The unit will stay on line and the Loss of DC AOP would be entered. The outside containment letdown isolation valve [2CV-4823-2] is air operated and the air supply is controlled by a green DC solenoid. When green DC is lost, the valve will fail closed isolating letdown and cause Pzr level to be maintained by cycling CCPs.

B. Correct: With the Green Battery disconnected from its bus [2D02] the battery charger is supplying all green DC loads. When the chargers breaker trips open, a loss of green DC will occur. The unit will stay on line and the Loss of DC AOP would be entered. The outside containment letdown isolation valve

[2CV-4823-2] is air operated and the air supply is controlled by a green DC solenoid. When green DC is lost, the valve will fail closed isolating letdown and cause Pzr level to be maintained by cycling CCPs.

A. Incorrect: The Loss of DC AOP is entered but the Letdown Isolation valve inside containment does not automatically close upon a loss of Green DC. Plausible because letdown does isolate on a loss of Green DC, but it is the Letdown Isolation valve outside containment that closes not the valve inside containment.

C. Incorrect. The Unit does not trip automatically nor is it an action required by the AOP to trip the Reactor and go to SPTAs upon a loss of Green DC. Plausible because a loss of Green DC does automatically Form ES-401-5 Written Exam Question Worksheet 100

Data for 2014 NRC RO/SRO Exam 26-Feb-14 open 2 trip circuit breakers but this does not cause a Reactor trip.

D. Incorrect. The Unit does not trip automatically nor is it an action required by the AOP to trip the Reactor and go to SPTAs upon a loss of Green DC. Plausible because a loss of Green DC does automatically open 2 trip circuit breakers but this does not cause a Reactor trip.

Description:

Equipment Control - Knowledge of limiting conditions for operations and safety limits.

Question:

After realignment of an Inoperable Control Element Assembly (CEA), OP-2203.003, CEA Malfunction AOP, directs maintaining Reactor power constant for at least one hour prior to performing a power escalation.

Per the CEA Malfunction Tech Guide, the reason for this one hour hold is _______________________ .

A. to allow ASI to stabilize prior to performing the power escalation after realignment of the CEA B. to prevent pellet-cladding interactions caused by the redistribution of core power from the misaligned CEA C. to prevent exceeding the COLSS ASI operational limit of +/- 0.27 when performing the power escalation after realignment of the CEA D. to prevent exceeding the Tech Spec limits on Azimuthal Tilt (Az Tilt) caused by the redistribution of core power from the misaligned CEA Answer:

B. Correct Notes:

Per the AOP tech guide, reactor power is maintained constant for at least one hour to prevent pellet-clad interactions caused by the redistribution of core power from the misaligned Control Element Assembly (CEA). Per STM 2-02 page 66, during withdrawal of the misaligned CEA, reactor power must be maintained within the acceptable level required per the AOP/Tech Spec 3.1.3.1. The power limit is to protect fuel from damage due to Pellet-cladding interaction during the withdrawal of the misaligned CEA in dense regions of neutron flux.

Description:

Ability to determine and interpret the following as they apply to the Emergency Boration: - Whether boron flow and/or MOVs are malfunctioning, from plant conditions Question:

Consider the following:

- Unit 2 is operating at 100% power

- Annunciator 2K12 B-2 "HEADER PRESS LO" for the Coolant Charging Pumps (CCPs) comes into alarm

- Annunciator 2K12 B-3 "HEADER FLOW LO" for the CCPs comes into alarm

- Volume Control Tank (VCT) level is 58% and lowering

- The WCO reports a rupture in the CCP suction header downstream of the RWT supply valve, 2CV-4950-2 and check valve

- OP-2203.036, Loss of Charging AOP, has been entered and the CRS directs tripping the Unit

- The ATC reports 3 CEAs did not fully insert on the trip and reactor power is 0.2% and steady

- SPTAs have been completed The CRS would diagnose _____________________________ and Emergency Boration would be accomplished by ______________________________________________ .

A. OP-2202.009, Functional Recovery EOP; aligning CCP discharge to the

1. 1 HPSI header B. OP-2202.009, Functional Recovery EOP; lowering RCS pressure and starting a HPSI pump C. OP-2203.032, Emergency Boration AOP; aligning CCP discharge to the

1. 1 HPSI header D. OP-2203.032, Emergency Boration AOP; lowering RCS pressure and starting a HPSI pump Answer:

B. Correct Notes:

With the given conditions entering Functional Recovery and depressurizing the RCS to allow using HPSI to emergency borate is correct. The location of the charging suction header rupture is unisoable from the rest of the system rendering all CCPs incapable of adding inventory to the RCS. With >1 CEA not fully inserted and reactor power >.1% and stable requires the addition of boron to meet shutdown margin. The Emergency Boration AOP does contain direction to depressurize and use a HPSI pump but it is not addressed on the exhibit 8 as an option to enter post SPTAs with the reactivity safety function not met. Standard Attachment Exhibit 1, Emergency Boration, would have been attempted during SPTA's, but would have not have been successful. Emergency Boration AOP is not one of the procedures that can be diagnosed coming out of SPTAs.

Question:

Pressurizer Code Safety Tech Spec 3.4.3 LCO is based on preventing the RCS from being pressurized above its Safety Limit of _____________ psia with a loss of Main Turbine Generator and no reactor trip until the first Reactor Protection System (RPS) setpoint is reached and the Steam Dump Bypass Control System (SDBCS) _______ operation.

A. 2500; in B. 2750; in C. 2500; not in D. 2750; not in Answer:

D. Correct Notes:

D. Correct: During operations, the combine relief capacity of the code safeties is sufficient to limit RCS pressure to within its safety limit of 2750 psia assuming the reactor does not trip before the first RPS reactor trip setpoint is reached and without the SDBCS in operations (T.S. 3.4.3 bases)

A. Incorrect: 2500 psia is the code safety setpoint not the safety limit setpoint and the setpoint is based on the assumption the reactor does not trip before the first RPS reactor trip setpoint is reached and SDBCS is not in operation.

B. Incorrect: 2750 psia is the safety limit setpoint but assumes the reactor does not trip before the first RPS reactor trip setpoint is reached and SDBCS is not in operation.

D. OP-2203.041, Inadvertent CSAS AOP; place the "A" Spray Pump (2P-35A) in Pull to Lock (PTL)

Answer:

B. Correct Notes:

Given the alarm is in on the RED annunciator panel, coupled with I&C work being performed in the RED ESFAS cabinet, the applicant would determine CSAS is on the RED train only. SPTAs will assess RCS inventory and Containment parameters and determine a Inadvertent Spray actuation has occurred on the RED side. The Inadvertent Spray Actuation will cause a reactor trip and SPTAs will verify spray is not required for current plant conditions and the CRS would direct placing the "A" Spray pump (not both to prevent entry into TS 3.0.3 un-necessarily) in PTL. Pre power uprate, an Inadvertent CSAS would have the operators trip the unit and secure the RCPs. Only the 'A' Spray pump inadvertently starts in this scenario. 'B' Spray pump is not running. The inadvertent Spray AOP has been deleted.

Description:

Conduct of Operations - Ability to evaluate plant performance and make operational judgments based on operating characteristics, reactor behavior, and instrument interpretation.

Question:

Consider the following:

- Unit-2 is operating at 100% power

- Annunciator 2K12 G-5 "VCT 2T4 LEVEL LO LO" comes into alarm

- 2LIS-4857, VCT level on 2C09 reads 68%

- 2LR-4857, VCT chart recorder on 2C09 reads 68% and steady

- It has been determined 2LT-4861 has failed low

- RCS Tave 578°F and trending down

- Pressurizer level is 59% and trending down slowly The Control Room staff would determine there is a ______________________ event in progress and the CRS would initiate actions referencing ____________________________________ .

A. dilution; EN-OP-115, Conduct of Operations B. boration; EN-OP-115, Conduct of Operations C. dilution; EN-OP-111, Operational Decision Making Issue (ODMI) Process D. boration; EN-OP-111, Operational Decision Making Issue (ODMI) Process Answer:

B. Correct Notes:

Due to the false low VCT level signal, CV-4873-1, VCT outlet, would automatically close and 2CV-4950-2, CCP suction source from the RWT would automatically open aligning an Emergency Boration flowpath to the RCS. Once aligned, reactor temperature will trend down, reactor power will maintain somewhat constant due to steam demand not changing (MTG is controlled in manual). The CRS should recognize this and secure CCPs (or take manual control of the VCT and RWT valves and realign CCP suction to the VCT) referencing EN-OP-115, Conduct of Operations, Section 5.4, Manual Control of Automatic Systems.

A. Incorrect. Based on the above note, there is a boration in progress, not a dilution.

B. Correct. Based on the above note, there is a boration in progress and the CRS would use the guidance in EN-OP-115 to manual control of the failed automatic system and restore the proper suction source to the Charging Pumps.

C. Incorrect. Based on the above note, there is a boration in progress, not a dilution.

D. Incorrect. There is a boration in progress, but EN-OP-111 does not contain the guidance to take manual control of an automatic system that is malfunctioning. Plausible because the operators will use the guidance in EN-OP-111 to create an ODMI for this malfunction, but that will be performed at a later time.
