Perry NRC Exam 2015 QUESTION RO 1 The plant is operating at 72% Reactor Power with 64 Mlbs/hr Core Flow, when the following occurs:

Reactor Recirculation B Pump tripped

ONI-C51 Unplanned Change in Reactivity or Power has been entered

Reactor Power initially lowered to 40%, and is varying between 34% and 46%

The oscillations in Reactor Power are a result of ____.

A. thermal hydraulic instability resulting from High Rod Line and Low Core Flow B. core flow variation resulting from unstable vortex formation in the Recirculation Loop A Risers C. jet pump cavitation resulting from the increased Reactor Recirculation Loop A Flow and reduced Feedwater Flow D. the combined effects of lowering RPV Water Level and Feedwater Temperature following a sudden power reduction 1

Perry NRC Exam 2015 QUESTION RO 1 Level: RO SRO Tier # 3 Examination Outline Cross-Reference Group #

K/A# Generic 2.1.7 Importance Rating 4.4 K&A: Ability to evaluate plant performance and make operational judgments based on operating characteristics, reactor behavior, and instrument interpretation.

Generic Explanation: Answer A - Oscillations > 10% in Reactor Power are indicative of Thermal Hydraulic Instability B - Incorrect - plausible, <10% peak to peak variation in APRM Power, at rated power, is associated with Bistable Core Flow. At reduced power conditions, APRM Power variation due to Bistable Core Flow is NOT expected.

C - Incorrect - plausible, When B Recirculation Pump tripped, BOTH Feedwater Flow lowered AND A Recirculation Loop Flow increased. Cavitation Downshift will protect Recirculation Pumps at <22% Feedwater Flow for 15 seconds. This value is not reached by power lowering to 34%.

D - Incorrect - plausible, reduction in RPV Level (from steam programming) and a reduction in Feedwater Temperature (from lower Turbine Load) occur as a result of a downpower, but this will not result in a 12%

variation in Reactor Power.

If voltage mismatch is big enough, VARs can lower enough to cause the gen to operate in the LEAD area of the Generator Capability Curve, and possibly to the point at which the Under Excitation Limit (UEL) is exceeded.

B - incorrect - Field over-excitation results from field current too high, which can be caused by the voltage regulator raising generator output voltage (VAR too high)

C - incorrect - Reverse power trip occurs when real load (MW) is reduced to the point where the grid supplies the generator. The given conditions would not result in lowering MW D - incorrect - Could happen if gen voltage was higher than grid voltage to point where picking up additional VARS would result in exceeding the capability curve (B-C) and hydrogen pressure of 60 psig.

Perry NRC Exam 2015 QUESTION SRO 15 Plant startup is in progress following a forced outage with the following conditions:

The Unit Supervisor is operating in IOI-3, Power Changes

The main generator was synchronized to the grid 5 minutes ago.

The MFP is feeding the RPV.

RFPT A is @ 1100 RPM

Main condenser pressure is 5.1HgA and degrading slowly

Aux condenser pressure is 5.0 HgA and degrading slowly

Offgas flow is 33 SCFM and rising slowly

RPV level is 208 inches and rising slowly Based on this information, the Unit Supervisors highest priority is to direct the actions contained in (1) and (2) IOI-3, Power Changes.

Perry NRC Exam 2015 QUESTION SRO 15 Level: RO SRO Tier # 1 Examination Outline Cross-Reference Group # 2 K/A# 295002 2.1.23 Importance Rating 4.4 K&A: Ability to perform specific system and integrated plant procedures during all modes of plant operation.

Loss of Main Condenser Vac / 3 Explanation: Answer A - Per ONI-N62, Subsequent Actions direct tripping of the main turbine if condenser pressure degrades to > 5 HgA with generator load < 375 MWE. Since the generator was just synchronized to the grid, load would only be ~ 200 MWE. The operator would remain in IOI-3 as a turbine trip at this low power level would not cause a Rx scram.

B & D - Incorrect - Second part - Operator remains in IOI-3. Under these conditions, there is no scram. So no need to exit IOI-3.

C & D - Incorrect - First part - with Rx level rising and vacuum degrading with Offgas flow rising, the Operator may think scramming is appropriate. However, vacuum is already > 5 HgA. Therefore the trip of the main turbine has highest priority.

High Drywell Pressure / 5 Explanation: Answer B - With the plant in Mode 1, LCO 3.6.5.4 requires Drywell to Primary Containment Differential Pressure restored 2.0 psid. This LCO is based on preventing Horizontal Vent clearing at normal Suppression Pool Water Level. This discussion means that too high a drywell-to-CNMT P can cause the vents to be already uncovered ('cleared') at the onset of a DBA LOCA (as a result of the downward force on the annulus water level). If a LOCA, then, were to occur, the RPV blowdown energy would communicate directly into the suppression pool inventory.

A - Incorrect - Second part - Plausible for negative differential pressure.

C & D - Incorrect - First part - Plausible if Drywell Temperature exceeded 145°F.

Perry NRC Exam 2015 QUESTION SRO 21 Level: RO SRO Tier # 2 Examination Outline Cross-Reference Group # 1 K/A# 262001 A2.02 Importance Rating 3.9 K&A: Ability to (a) predict the impacts of the following on the A.C. Electrical Distribution; and (b) based on those predictions, use procedures to correct, control, or mitigate the consequences of those abnormal conditions or operations: Loss of coolant accident AC Electrical Distribution Explanation: Answer D - With RPV level <16.5, the Div 1 & 2 DG have started, but are not tied onto the buses. When U1 S/U Xfmr locks-out, the Preferred source for Bus EH12 deenergized and the bus undervoltage actions commence; The Preferred source breaker opens and the Div 2 DG output breaker will close. Since the RHR B pump tripped on over current, Energizing the Div 1 ECCS pumps (RHR A & LPCS) would maximize ECCS system availability. Therefore ONI-SPI A-12 is correct.

A & B - Incorrect - When a bus undervoltage occurs, the Preferred Source breaker will open and the DG output breaker will close. Plausible since the DG starts but doesnt close in on a LOCA signal.

A & C - Incorrect - ONI-SPI A-6 is only used when DC control power is lost. Plausible if the operator thinks this ONI will get Div 2 DG running.
