Proposed Question: SRO Question # 76 Which ONE of the following completes the following statement?
In accordance with WCAP-17070-P methodology for determining analytical limits in 0-ADM-536, Technical Specification Bases Control Program, Engineered Safety Features Actuation System Instrumentation Setpoints_____________
A. improve the overall reliability of RPS B. provide Steam Generator overfill protection C. ensure the plant design safety analysis is not exceeded D. guarantee RCS pressure is less than 120% design pressure Proposed Answer: C Explanation (Optional):
A. Incorrect. Plausible since this is the reason for the instrumentation setpoints in the Reactor Trip System (i.e., RPS), which assist the ESFAS in mitigating the consequences of accidents.
B. Incorrect. Plausible if examinee recognizes that feedwater isolation, which is an ESFAS function during a LOCA or steamline-break accident, serves (among other things) to prevent SG overfill; however, per 0-ADM-536, SG overfill protection is not itself part of the ESFAS.
C. Correct. Per 0-ADM-536, the instrumentation setpoints in the ESFAS ensure that the operation of plant systems is consistent with the assumptions used in the safety PTN L-15-1 DRAFT NRC EXAM SECURE INFORMATION

O-ADM-536 TURKEY POINT PLANT ATTACHMENT 2 Technical Specification Bases (Page 4 of 176) 2 1 2 Reactor Coolant System Pressure The restriction of this Safety Limit protects the integrity of the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) from overpressurization and thereby prevents the release of radionuclides contained in the reactor coolant from reaching the containment atmosphere.
The reactor vessel and pressurizer are designed to Section III of the ASME Code for Nuclear Power Plants which permits a maximum transient pressure of 110% (2735 psig) of design pressure. The RCS piping, valves, and fittings are designed to ANSI B31 .1, which permits a maximum transient pressure of 120% of design pressure of 2485 psig.
The Safety Limit of 2735 psig is therefore more conservative than the ANSI B31 .1 design criteria and consistent with associated ASME Code requirements.
The entire RCS is hydro tested at 125% (3107 psig) of design pressure to demonstrate integrity prior to initial operation.

O-ADM-536 TURKEY POINT PLANT ATTACHMENT 2 Technical Specification Bases (Page 5 of 176) 2.2 Limiting Safety System Settings 2.2.1 Reactor Trip System Instrumentation Setpoints The Trip Setpoints or Nominal Trip Setpoints (NTS) specified in Table 2.2-1 are the nominal values at which the Reactor Trips are set for functional units 2a, 5, 6, 10, 11, and 12. ,The Trip Setpoints have been selected to ensure that the core and Reactor Coolant System are prevented from exceeding their safety limits during normal operation and design basis anticipated operational occurrences and to assist the Engineered Safety Features Actuation System in mitigating the consequences of accidents. The setpoint for a Reactor Trip System or interlock function is considered to be adjusted consistent with the Nominal Trip Setpoint when the as measured setpoint is within the band allowed for calibration accuracy.
To accommodate instrument drift that may occur between operational tests and the accuracy to which setpoints can be measured and calibrated, allowances are provided for in the Nominal Trip Setpoint and Allowable Values in accordance with the setpoint methodology described in WCAPs 17070-P (for functional units 2a, 5, 6, 10, 11, and 12) and 12745. Surveillance criteria have been determined and are controlled in Plant procedures and in design documents. The surveillance criteria ensure that instruments which are NOT operating within the assumptions of the setpoint calculations are identified. An instrument channel is considered OPERABLE when the surveillance is within the Allowable Value and the channel is capable of being calibrated in accordance with Plant procedures to within the As-Left tolerance. If the As-Found setpoint is outside of the Plant procedure As-Found tolerance, the occurrence will be entered into the plant Corrective Action program and the channel will be evaluated to verify that it is functioning as required before returning the channel to service.
Sensor and other instrumentation utilized in these channels are expected to be capable of operating within the allowances of these uncertainty magnitudes.
The inability to demonstrate through measurement and/or analytical means, using the methods described in WCAPs 17070-P and 12745, that the Reactor Trip function would have occurred within the values specified in the design documentation provides a threshold value for REPORTABLE EVENTS.

- The OPERABILITY of these systems is required to provide the overall reliability, redundancy and diversity assumed available in the facility design for the protection and mitigation of accident and transient conditions. The integrated operation of each of these systems is consistent with the assumptions used in the safety analyses. The Surveillance Requirements specified for these systems ensure that the overall system functional capability is maintained comparable to the original design standards. The periodic surveillance tests performed at the minimum frequencies are sufficient to demonstrate this capability.
Surveillances for the analog RPS/ESFAS Protection and Control rack instrumentation have been extended to quarterly in accordance with WCAP-1 0271, Evaluation of Surveillance Frequencies and Out of Service Times for the Reactor Protection Instrumentation System, and supplements to that report as generically approved by the NRC and documented in their SERs (Letters to the Westinghouse Owners Group from the NRC dated February 21, 1985, February 22, 1989, and April 30, 1990).
Under some pressure and temperature conditions, certain surveillances for Safety Injection cannot be performed because of the system design.
Allowance to change modes is provided under these conditions as long as the surveillances are completed within specified time requirements.

The NTS for Functional Units if, 4d, 5c, and 6b is the value at which the bistables are set and is the expected value to be achieved during calibratio The NTS value is the LSSS and ensures the safety analysis limits are met for the surveillance interval selected when a channel is adjusted based on stated channel uncertainties. Any bistable is considered to be properly adjusted when the As-Left NTS value is within the As-Left tolerance for CHANNEL CALIBRATION uncertainty allowance (i.e., +/-rack calibration). The NTS value is therefore considered a nominal value (i.e., expressed as a value without inequalities) for the purposes of the ANALOG/DIGITAL CHANNEL OPERATIONAL TEST (COT) and CHANNEL CALIBRATION. These functional Units have been modified by two notes as identified in Table 4.3-23. Note (a) requires evaluation of channel performance for the condition where the As-Found setting for the nominal trip setpoint is outside of the As-Found criterion. As stated above, these instances will be entered into the plant corrective action process and the channel will be evaluated to verify that it is functioning as required before returning the channel to service. Note (b) requires that the channel As-Left setting must be within the As-Left tolerance band. As noted above a channel is considered to be properly calibrated with the As-Left NTS value is within the As-Left tolerance band for CHANNEL CALIBRATION uncertainty allowance (i.e., +/- rack calibration accuracy).
WCAP-1 7070-P methodology for determining analytical limits only applies to those ESFAS functions that support the safety analysis. Certain ESFAS functions such as the loss of voltage UV signal to the 480V load centers only provide equipment protection and therefore their analytical limit is NOT required to meet the WCAP-1 7070-P methodology.

The Engineered Safety Features Actuation System senses selected plant parameters and determines whether or NOT predetermined limits are being exceeded. If they are, the signals are combined into logic matrices sensitive to combinations indicative of various accidents events, and transients. Once the required logic combination is completed, the system sends actuation signals to those Engineered Safety Features components whose aggregate function best serves the requirements of the condition. As an example, the following actions may be initiated by the Engineered Safety Features Actuation System to mitigate the consequences of a steam line break 0!,
loss-of-coolant accident: (1) Safety Injection pumps start and automatic valves position, (2) Reactor trip, (3) Feed water isolation, (4) Startup of the emergency diesel generators, (5) Containment spray pumps start and automatic valves position (6) Containment ventilation isolation, (7) Steam line isolation, (8) Turbine trip, (9) Auxiliary feedwater pumps start and automatic valves position, (10) Containment cooling fans start and automatic valves position, (11) Intake cooling water and component cooling water pumps start and automatic valves position, and (12) Control Room Isolation and Ventilation Systems start. This system also provides a feedwater system isolation to prevent SG overfill. Steam Generator overfill protection is NOT part of the Engineered Safety Features Actuation System (ESFAS) and is added to the Technical Specifications only in accordance with NRC Generic Letter 89-19.
The Steam Generator Pressure-Low and Steam Line Pressure- Low functions, items 1 .f and 4.d of Table 3.3-3, are anticipatory in nature and have a typical lead/lag ratio of 50/5. The 50/5-second lead/lag function is needed to assure acceptable results for the Hot Full Power and Hot Zero Power steam line break analyses.

Proposed Question: SRO Question # 77 Given the following conditions:
- Unit 4 is at 80% power.
- The following annunciators alarm in a short period of time:
A616, SEAL WATER INJ FILTER HI tP C5/1, SG A STEAM> FEED D3/5, RDTA HI LEVEL D5/6, LEFM TROUBLE Which ONE of the following describes the first priority directed by the Unit Supervisor?
A. Place Standby Seal Water Injection Filter in service.
B. Manually adjust FCV-4-478, 4A FW Control Valve, to control S/G level.
C. Dispatch an operator to bypass and isolate the failed RDT control valve, CV-4-1505.
D. Bypass LEFM and select VENTURI on DCS calorimetric program.
Proposed Answer: B Explanation (Optional):
A. Incorrect. Plausible since this is an action in the ARP for A616, but it is not the initial action based on annunciator priority (in this case, priority 3 [second-lowest priority]).
B. Correct. This is the prompt action in the ARP for C5/1, which is a priority-2 annunciator (i.e., of the second-highest priority). At 80% power, the steam-feed mismatch is of a higher concern that the LEFM trouble (also a priority-2 concern); hence, it must be addressed first.
PTN L-15-1 DRAFT NRC EXAM SECURE INFORMATION
PTN L-15-1 DRAFT NRC EXAM SECURE INFORMATION C. Incorrect. Plausible since this is an action in the ARP for D315, but it is not the initial action based on annunciator priority (in this case, priority 4 [lowest priority]).
D. Incorrect. Plausible since this is an action in the ARP for D516 and it is (like C5/1) a priority-2 annunciator (i.e., of the second-highest priority). However, at 80% power the LEFM trouble is of less concern than maintaining SG level; hence, it is not the initial action.

2.0 TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
- 1. Annunciator Response Procedures (ARP5) Plant procedures that specify the operator actions required to mitigate the consequences of transients that cause plant parameters to exceed alarm setpoints.
- 2. Local (Locally) An action performed by an operator outside the Control Room.
- 3. Immediate/Immediately The definition of immediate should be based on the specific situation. In all cases the action should be performed in a timely manner. In some cases this may require action in less than 15 minutes and in others, 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> may be appropriate.
(This definition is not for Immediate Operator Actions).
- 4. ARP Prompt Actions Any actions specifically listed in the ARP as Prompt Actions. These actions may be performed from memory with SRO concurrence.
- 5. Manual (Manually) An action performed by the operator in the Control Room. This does NOT include automatic actions which take place without operator intervention.
- 6. Priority 1 (Red): Nuclear Safety These alarms require immediate response and reflect a potential challenge to plant safety and require protective systems to activate. These alarms include: SI and Reactor/Turbine/Gen Trips.
- 7. Priority 2 (Yellow): Power Production Availability These alarms require immediate response and reflect a challenge to plant equipment or systems that may affect continued plant availability or timely recovery. Immediate response to these alarms would be deferred only if action were required by a Priority 1 alarm. Failure to properly respond to a Priority 2 condition may lead to or contribute to a higher level condition.
- 8. Priority 3 (Blue): Investment Protection These alarms require prompt response and provide information that, if unattended, may result in a threat to higher level actions. Prompt action to this level of alarm may reduce the consequences of the problem by minimizing equipment damage or material waste.

O-ADM-219 TURKEY POINT PLANT 4.0 INSTRUCTIONS Procedure Entry A. Entry into the ARP begins by locating the panel and window with the alarm condition.
B. Control Room annunciator panels are designated by letters A through J and X. The applicable annunciator window is located numerically by column and row numbers. Therefore, an alarm on Panel A Column 1 Row 5 would be designated as A 1/5 in the ARP.
C. Once the alarm panel and window are identified, then (1) Acknowledge the alarm (2) Enter the appropriate ARP for response guidelines.
- 2. Step Performance A. Steps should be performed by referring to the written procedure directly.
B. The arnunciator panel procedures indicate appropriate operator action for Control Room panel annunciators. The actions listed are intended to be a guide for operators in responding to single annunciators and not intended to be a substitute for good judgment based on thorough understanding of plant conditions and equipment.
C. Many off normal plant conditions will result in several annunciators lighting almost simultaneously. In such a case, operators are expected to respond to the root cause of the problem and maintain the unit in a safe condition using applicable off normal and emergency procedures. This action may not necessarily correspond to that of the Annunciator Procedures.
D. The procedure should be performed in a step-by-step manner with each step being completed prior to the performance of the next step.

PTN L-15-1 DRAFT NRC EXAM SECURE NFORMATlON C. (1)NOT OPERABLE (2) is NOT D. (1) NOT OPERABLE (2)is Proposed Answer: A Explanation (Optional):
A. Correct. Per 0-ONOP-025.3, an ambient temperature of 115°F in a Battery Room is an acceptable operability limit for the batteries; hence, at 102°F, the batteries are considered operable. Technical Specifications (i.e., LCO 3.8.2) identify no limits based on battery/battery-room temperatures. As the batteries are operable, there is no requirement to invoke 1 OCFR5O.54(x) and (y).
B. Incorrect. The first part of the distractor is correct. Plausible if examinee believes that elevated battery temperature (i.e., 102°F) can lead to a declaration of battery inoperability, which would require IOCFR5O.54(x) and (y)to be invoked for continued plant operation.
C. Incorrect. Per 0-ONOP-025.3, an ambient temperature of 115°F in a Battery Room is an acceptable operability limit for the batteries; hence, at 102°F, the batteries are not considered inoperable due to excessive temperature. Technical Specifications (i.e.,

Proposed Question: SRO Question # 82 Given the following conditions:
- Unit 3 is operating at 100% power.
- The following annunciators are in alarm:
B213, POWER RANGE LOWER DET HI FLUX DEV!AUTO DEFEAT B316, OTAT B515, OTAT/OPzXT ROD STOP B6!4, POWER RANGE CHANNEL DEVIATION B7!1, NIS/RPI ROD DROP ROD STOP B9!2, AXIAL FLUX TILT

PTN L-15-1 DRAFT NRC EXAM SECURE INFORMATION D. (1) 3-ON OP-028, Reactor Control System Malfunction (2) Place Rod Control in MANUAL until the channel is restored.
Proposed Answer: C Explanation (Optional):
A. Incorrect. Plausible if examinee believes that the given annunciators suggest a malfunction of a component(s) of the Reactor Control System and this malfunction has led to an excessive QPTR; under these conditions, per Technical Specifications, power must be reduced (via boration, since rod motion is hampered) to <50% of rated thermal power.
B. Incorrect. The first part of the distractor is correct. Plausible if examinee recognizes that many of the failed channels features are bypassed under these conditions, per 3-ONOP-059.8, although these actions are not performed for the purpose of allowing the remaining power-range channels to calculate the axial flux difference.
C. Correct. Based on the given annunciators, a lower power-range nuclear instrument has failed low (other than N44, since no rod motion occurred), rather than a malfunction of a component(s) of the Reactor Control System; hence, 3-ONOP-059.8 provides the appropriate mitigation strategy and requires that the QPTR be monitored (using 3-OSP-059.10, Determination of Quadrant Power Tilt Ratio) every 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> to satisfy TS 4.2.4.2.
D. Incorrect. Plausible if examinee believes that the given annunciators suggest a malfunction of a component(s) of the Reactor Control System and rods failed to insert in response to a failed-high power-range nuclear instrument (N44); under these conditions, per 3-ONOP-028, the Rod Motion Control Selector must be placed in the MAN position. However, indications suggest a failed-low power-range nuclear instrument (other than N44), since no rod motion occurred.

PTN L-15-1 DRAFT NRC EXAM SECURE IN FORMATION (2) ensure valves are isolated within the specific isolation times of the LOCA analysis.
Proposed Answer: A Explanation (Optional):
A. Correct. TS 3.6.4 requires that the inoperable isolation valve (CV-3-4668A) be restored to operability within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> or the associated penetration be isolated (by deactivating!
closing CV-3-4668B, which is downstream of CV-3-4668A) within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />; otherwise, the plant must be in cold shutdown within 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br /> (note that the plant is already in hot standby, hence the 6-hour action is not applicable). The basis for TS 3.6.4 states that the isolation time limit is consistent with the assumed isolation times for these valves in the LOCA analysis.
B. Incorrect. Plausible if examinee confuses the time requirement for the LCO action statement to be in hot standby (6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />) with that for penetration isolation (4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />).
Plausible because the primary intent of Containment isolation valves is to prevent the release of radioactive materials to the environment; however, the basis for the isolation time limit is a function of the assumptions in the LOCA analysis, not those in the COLR.
C. Incorrect. The first part of the distractor is correct. Plausible because the primary intent of Containment isolation valves is to prevent the release of radioactive materials to the environment; however, the basis for the isolation time limit is a function of the assumptions in the LOCA analysis, not those in the COLR.
D. Incorrect. Plausible if examinee confuses the time requirement for the LCO action statement to be in hot standby (6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />) with that for penetration isolation (4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />). The second part of the distractor is correct.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION BASES CONTROL PROGRAM I 136 of 192 O-ADM-536 TURKEY POINT PLANT ATTACHMENT 2 Technical Specification Bases (Page 120 of 176) 3/4.6.3 Deleted 3/4.6.4 Containment Isolation Valves The OPERABILITY of the Containment Isolation Valves ensures that the containment atmosphere will be isolated from the outside environment in the event of a release of radioactive material to the containment atmosphere or pressurization of the containment.
Containment isolation within the time limits specified in the In-Service Testing Program is consistent with the assumed isolation times of those valves with specific isolation times in the LOCA analysis.
Note that Tech Spec 3.6.4 applies only to automatic Containment Isolation Valves. Automatic Containment Isolation Valves are valves, which close automatically on a Containment Isolation Phase A signal, Containment Phase B, or a Containment Ventilation Isolation signal, and check valves.
3/4.7 Plant Systems 3/4.7.1 Turbine Cycle 3/4.7.1.1 Safety Valves The OPERABILITY of the main steam line Code Safety Valves ensures that the Secondary System pressure will be limited to within 110%
(1193.5 psig) of its design pressure of 1085 psig during the most severe anticipated system operational transient. The maximum relieving capacity is associated with a Turbine trip from 100% RATED THERMAL POWER coincident with an assumed loss of condenser heat sink (i.e.,
NO steam bypass to the condenser).
The primary purpose of the Main Steam Safety Valves (MSSVs) is to provide overpressure protection for the secondary system. The MSSVs also provide protection against over pressurizing the Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary (RCPB) by providing a heat sink for the removal of energy from the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) if the preferred heat sink, provided by the Condenser and Circulating Water System, is NOT available.
CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS 3/4.6.4 CONTAINMENT ISOLATION VALVES LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION 3.6.4 Each containment isolation valve shall be OPERABLE with isolation times less than or equal to required isolation times.
APPLICABILITY: MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4.
ACTION:
- Vvith one or more isolation valves inoperable, maintain at least one isolation valve OPERABLE in each affected penetration that is open and either:
- a. Restore the inoperable valve(s) to OPERABLE status within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />, or
- b. Isolate each affected penetration within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> by use of at least one deactivated automatic containment isolation valve secured in the isolation position, or
- c. Isolate each affected penetration within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> by use of at least one closed manual valve or blind flange, or
- d. Be in at least HOT STANDBY within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and in COLD SHUTDOWN within the following 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />.
SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 4.6.4.1 The isolation valves shall be demonstrated OPERABLE prior to returning the valve to service after maintenance, repair or replacement work is performed on the valve or its associated actuator, control or power circuit by performance of a cycling test, and verification of isolation time.
- CAUTION: The inoperable isolation valve(s) may be part of a system(s). Isolating the affected penetration(s) may affect the use of the system(s). Consider the technical specification requirements on the affected system(s) and act accordingly.

A. To prevent an excessive RCS cooldown.
B. To prevent Containment over-pressurization.
C. To prevent uncontrolled loss of Pressurizer level.
D. To prevent a restart accident from the positive reactivity added.
PTN L-15-1 DRAFT NRC EXAM SECURE INFORMATION
PTN L-15-1 DRAFT NRC EXAM SECURE INFORMATION Proposed Answer: A Explanation (Optional):
A. Correct. The basis document for 3-EOP-E-0 indicates that feedwater is isolated on a steam-line break to prevent uncontrolled filling of any SG and the associated excessive RCS cooldown, which could aggravate the transient.
B. Incorrect. Plausible if examinee believes that the steam-line break is inside Containment and feedwater isolation will serve to reduce the total amount of steam generated and released to Containment; however, 3-10-319 is located outside of Containment.
C. Incorrect. Plausible if examinee recognizes that the RCS cooldown caused by the steam-line break will also lead to contraction of the reactor coolant and a drop in Pressurizer level; however, a flow-limiting device in the SGs steam outlet nozzle (which is designed to choke steam flow during a postulated steam-Hne break and prevent rapid depressurization), in conjunction with automatic RCS-letdown isolation, should prevent an uncontrolled loss of Pressurizer level.
D. Incorrect. Plausible if examinee recognizes that the RCS cooldown caused by the steam-line break will also lead to a positive-reactivity addition; however, a postulated steam-line break is not expected to add sufficient reactivity to overcome the TS-required shutdown margin (i.e., 1.77% Ak/k) and facilitate a restart accident.

The Main Eeedwater System is isolated on a EW Isolation signal to prevent uncontrolled filling of any steam generator and the associated excessive RCS cooldown, which could aggravate the transient, especially if it were a steamline break.
STEP DEVIATIONS FROM WOG GUIDELINES:
TYPE DESCRIPTION 2 Substep 2a was added to place main feedwater pumps in Stop. This will allow operation of AFW pumps later in the EOPs.
8 The words Flow control valves were changed to Feedwater control valves to conform with plant specific terminology.
8 The words Flow control bypass valves were changed to Feedwater bypass valves to conform with plant specific terminology.
8 The words FW isolation valves were changed to Feedwater isolation valves to conform with plant specific terminology.
9 Substep 2d was added as a result of the addition of Fast Acting Feedwater Bypass Isolation Valves for EPU. See ECs 242442(U3) and 246878(U4) for more information.
2 SIG Blowdown and S/G sample valves at PIN do not directly receive a Feedwater Isolation signal, and are verified during Phase A verification.
9 The RNO column was changed to provide specific operator tasks to be performed. The words Locally close valves was considered to be sufficient.
3 Turkey Point standby feedwater pumps do not trip on a safety injection signal. Flow from these pumps would continue if any feedwater bypass valve fails to close. Substep f was added to ensure all sources of non-emergency feedwater are isolated following safety injection actuation. Since these pumps are normally secured, the operator is directed to verifv the pumps off. If they are running and supplying this unit, the RNO column directs the operator to trip the standby feedwater pumps.

3/4.1.1.2 Shutdown Margin A sufficient SHUTDOWN MARGIN ensures that: (1) The reactor can be made subcritical from all operating conditions, (2) The reactivity transients associated with postulated accident conditions are controllable within acceptable limits, and (3) The reactor will be maintained sufficiently subcritical to preclude inadvertent criticality in the shutdown condition.
SHUTDOWN MARGIN requirements vary throughout core life as a function of fuel depletion, RCS boron concentration, and RCS Tavg.
With Tavg greater than 20a°F, the most restrictive condition occurs at EOL, with Tavg at NO load operating temperature, and is associated with a postulated steam line break accident and resulting uncontrolled RCS cooldown. The COLR provides a curve (formerly TS Figure 3.1-1) showing the SHUTDOWN MARGIN equivalent to 1.77% Ak/k at the end-of-core-life with respect to an uncontrolled cooldown. Accordingly, the SHUTDOWN MARGIN requirement is based upon this limiting condition and is consistent with UFSAR safety analysis assumptions.
The COLR figure provides a separate curve showing the minimum SHUTDOWN MARGIN equivalent to 1.77% Ak/k in MODE 4 without a Reactor Coolant Pump running. The reduced RCS mixing volume in this condition requires a higher minimum SHUTDOWN MARGIN is required to assure adequate operator response time is available to identify and terminate an inadvertent dilution event prior to loss of all SHUTDOWN MARGIN. With Tavg less than 200°F, a SHUTDOWN MARGIN equivalent to 1.77% Ak/k is required at all times to assure adequate operator response time is available to identify and terminate an inadvertent dilution event in MODE 5 prior to loss of all SHUTDOWN MARGIN. FormerTS Figure 3.1-1 titled Required Shutdown Margin versus Reactor Coolant Boron Concentration has been moved to the COLR per Amendments 247 and 243.
The boron rate requirement of 16 gpm of 3.0 wt% (5245 ppm) boron or equivalent ensures the capability to restore the SHUTDOWN MARGIN with one OPERABLE Charging Pump.

C. Incorrect. Plausible if examinee doesnt recognize that the 3B Boric Acid Transfer pump is available and running; if it were not, the appropriate RNO for Step 4.d in 3-EOP-FR-S.1 would be to align the Charging Pump suction to the RWST by closing LCV-3-1 15C.
Plausible if examinee does not recognize the red path on the Core Cooling CSF and believes that a Site Area Emergency (SS2) is in effect, which requires no PARs.
D. Correct. As MOV-3-350 cannot be opened, the associated RNO for Step 4.e in 3-EOP-FR-S.1 requires 3-356 to be opened. PARs are required in this case, since a General Emergency (SG2) is in effect (i.e., failed auto/manual/local trip, with a red path on the Core Cooling CSF [CET5 >1200°F]).

- Close the 4B EDG Output Breaker.
- Unusual Event Proposed Answer: B Explanation (Optional):
A. Incorrect. Plausible if examinee recognizes that after the 4B RCP breaker is opened, the 4B EDG output breaker may have to be manually closed (i.e., if it does not auto-close); however, the 4B RCP breaker needs to opened before the 4B EDG output breaker can be closed or the 4B EDG would be synchronized onto the bus, with the 4B RCP aligned. The second part of the distractor is correct.
B. Correct. With the SBO tie permissive blue light off (and no light indication for the 4B RCP, bus stripping is not assured; therefore, performance of ONOP-004.3 must be stopped and Attachment 1 (bus stripping) completed. If this were not done, the next action would be to synchronize the 4B EDG onto the bus, with the 4B RCP aligned, which would be a significant error. Manual or local closure of the EDG breaker is not protected by bus clearing. The 4A 4KV Bus is energized, since the 4A EDG is running and its output breaker is closed (red light indication); howev er, its subsequent loss would lead to a station blackout, therefore the correct classif ication is an Alert (SA5).
C. Incorrect. The first part of the distractor is correct. The correct classification is an Alert (SA5), rather than an Unusual Event, since a subsequent loss of the 4A 4KV Bus would lead to a station blackout.
D. Incorrect. Plausible if examinee recognizes that after the 4B RCP breaker is opened, the 4B EDG output breaker may have to be manually closed (i.e., if it does not auto-close); however, the 4B RCP breaker needs to opened before the 4B EDG output breaker can be closed or the 4B EDG would be synchronized onto the bus, with the 4B RCP aligned.

Level 2 because the operator must analyze the situation presented and conclude that the 4B RCP breaker is closed, based on the station blackout tie permis sive blue light being off and no light indication on the 4B RCP. Bus stripping is not verified and Attachment 1 is not complete.
Therefore performance of ONOP-004.3 must be stopped (reference ONOP-004.3 Step 7.B). If not, the next action is to synchronize the EDG onto the bus. It would be a significant error to attempt to close the 4B EDG breaker because manua l or local closure of the EDG breaker is not protected by bus clearing. The EDG would energize the bus with the RCP attached.
Then the SRO must recognize that with the 4A EDG runnin g and its output breaker closed (red light indication), the 4A 4KV Bus is energized. However, its subsequent loss would lead to a station blackout, therefore the correct classification is an Alert.

- A LBLOCA occurs on Unit 3.
- Crew enters 3-EOP-E-0, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection.
- A loss of all AC power occurs on Unit 3.

Page 16 BDEOP-ECA-O.O Loss of All AC Power 8/15/14 F WOG Procedure Step BASIS DOCUMENT 6 CAUTION 2 PTN Procedure Step 5 CAUTION 2 If an SI signal exists OR is actuated during this procedure, it must be reset to ensure restoration of a power source and to ensure controlled loading of equipment on the 4KV Bus.
BASIS:
Resetting the SI signal is consistent with the loss of all ac power philosophy of defeati ng automatic loading of the ac emergency buses. SI signal reset is also necessary to permit recovery as detailed in ECA-O.I for as wide a range of RCS conditions as possible, i.e.,
those conditions wherein RCS pressure or secondary system pressure are below their actuation setpoints but the recovery selection procedure criteria (RCS subcooling and pressurizer level) are above minimum values which permit recover per ECA-O.I. Since ECA-O.I attemp ts to recover nominal RCS conditions utilizing normal operating systems, automatic safegu equipment actuation must be prevented if RCS or secondary pressures are reduced ards below the SI actuation setpoints. SI signal reset is limited by the time delay on the reset logic. Should power he restored after SI signal initiation but prior to reset, the SI equipm ac ent will automatically load on the ac bus. This possibility is address in the recovery guideline selecti criteria. on STEP DEVIATIONS FROM WOG GUIDELINES:
TYPE DESCRIPTION 9 The WOG guidelines do not provide distinct definitions for the terms should and shall.
The word should was changed to must to denote a requirement.
8 The words it must be reset to ensure restoration of a power source and to ensure controlled were added to include a plant specific requirement associated with the bus sequencer. It was added as a result of information obtained during training on the plant reference simulator and classroom training on the sequencer.
9 WOG step 6, CAUTION 2 was divided into two cautions: one which reminds operators of the need to reset SI to allow manual loading, and one which reminds operators of the need for manual loading.
9 Caution was moved from Step 6 to Step 5 to address the potential need to reset SI in the event of certain failures to meet plant specific requirements needed to close the diesel breaker.

PTN L-15-1 DRAFT NRC EXAM SECURE INFORMATION
PTN L-15-1 DRAFT NRC EXAM SECURE INFORMATION Proposed Answer: C Explanation (Optional):
A. Incorrect. Plausible because examinee may believe that a Steam Genera tor narrow-range level <27% represents a loss of heat sink (which would be correct
, if all Steam Generator narrow-range levels were less than this value and adverse contain ment conditions existed); however, if corrected Steam Generator levels on the ASP are maintained between 20% and 50%, the cooldown may proceed (per 0-ONO P-105, Attachment 22). The second part of the distractor is correct.
B. Incorrect. Plausible because examinee may believe that Pressurizer level is too high for the given (i.e., no-load) conditions, for which Pressurizer level would be 22%;
however, if corrected Pressurizer level on the ASP is maintained between 22% and 53%, the cooldown may proceed (per 0-ONOP-105, Attachment 22). The second part of the distractor is plausible if examinee misinterprets the question and choose s the MAXIMUM Emergency Classification for the event, which requires that plant control is not established within 15 minutes.
C. Correct. A Note in 0-ONOP-105, Attachment 22 states that the cooldown should be stopped if source-range counts show jy rise. The minimum classification for any Control Room evacuation is an Alert.
D. Incorrect. Plausible because examinee may believe that the mismatched Steam Generator pressures are indicative of a faulted Steam Generator, which could lead to an uncontrolled cooldown condition; however, if Steam Generator pressures are maintained within <120 psid, the cooldown may proceed (per 0-ONOP-105, Attachment 22). The second part of the distractor is plausible if examinee misinterprets the question and chooses the MAXIMUM Emergency Classification for the event, which requires that plant control is not established within 15 minutes.

(2) The maximum cooldown rate is <50°F/hr.
D. (1) Transition to 3-EOP-ES-0.4.
(2) The maximum cooldown rate is <25°F/hr.
Proposed Answer: C Explanation (Optional):
A. Incorrect. Plausible because 3-EOP-ES-0.2 could be considered the preferred procedure, since a cooldown is already in progress (in this case, the maximum allowed cooldown rate would be 1 00°F/hr); however, an unexpected rise in Pressurizer level is indicative of void formation in the reactor head and 3-EOP-ES-0.2 directs transition to 3-EOP-ES-0.4 if, at any time, it is determined that the Natural Circulation Cooldown and depressurization must be performed at a rate that may form a steam void in the vessel (with RVLMS unavailable). The second part of the distractor is incorrect lAW 3-EOP-ES-0.2, but correct lAW 3-EOP-ES-0.4.
B. Incorrect. First part is plausible because 3-EOP-ES-0.2 could be considered the preferred procedure, since a cooldown is already in progress; however, an unexpected rise in Pressurizer level is indicative of void formation in the reactor head and 3-EOP-ES-0.2 directs transition to 3-EOP-ES-0.4 if, at any time, it is determined that the Natural Circulation Cooldown and depressurization must be performed at a rate that may form a steam void in the vessel (with RVLMS unavailable). Second part is plausible because a cooldown rate of <25°F/hr was permitted by the previous version of 3-EOP-ES-0.2.
C. Correct. 3-EOP-ES-0.2 directs transition to 3-EOP-ES-0.4 if, at any time, it is determined that the Natural Circulation Cooldown and depressurization must be performed at a rate that may form a steam void in the vessel (with RVLMS unavailable);
an unexpected rise in Pressurizer level is indicative of void formation in the reactor head. The maximum allowed cooldown rate is 50°F/hr in 3-EOP-ES-0.4, while RCS temperature is being reduced to 500°F.
D. Incorrect. The first part of the distractor is correct. Second part is plausible because a

- Unit 3 is in MODE 3 following a refueling outage.
- 3-OSP-202.1 Safety Injection/Residual Heat Removal Flowpath Verification, Attachment 2
is in progress.
- Prior to exceeding 380°F, the Shift Manager is verifying that the preceding steps of 3-GOP-503, Cold Shutdown to Hot Standby, are complete prior to signing the Shift Manager Verification Point.

C. Steps may be performed if it will not heat the RCS temperature above 380°F.
D. Steps may be performed if it does not affect the SI/RHR Flowpath verification.
Proposed Answer: C Explanation (Optional):
A. Incorrect. Plausible because the Shift Manager Verification Point in 3-GOP-503 (Section 5.31) requires verification that all prior Section 5.0 steps are complete:
however, this hold point does NOT prevent the performance of subsequent procedure steps that will not heat the RCS above 380°F. The examinee may assume that the OSP PTN L-15-1 DRAFT NRC EXAM SECURE INFORMATION

The examinee may assume that the verification point must signed by the Shift Manager, prior to proceeding.
C. Correct. A note in the Shift Manager Verification Point in 3-GOP-503 (Section 5.31) states that this hold point does NOT prevent the performance of subsequent procedure steps, providing that they will not heat the RCS above 380°F.
D. Incorrect. Plausible because the Shift Manager Verification Point in 3-GOP-503 (Section 5.31) does NOT prevent the performance of subsequent procedure steps, providing that they will not heat the RCS above 380°F. The examinee may falsely assume that the verification point also requires that the SI/RHR flowpath verification (including Control Room switch alignments) is complete, to ensure that the requirements for TS 3.5.2 are met prior to exceeding 380°F; specifically, 0-ADM-536 (Technical Specification Bases Control program) states that the OPERABILITY of ECCS components and flowpaths are required in MODES 1, 2, and 3, to ensure sufficient emergency core cooling capability is available, in the event of a LOCA with any single active failure.

O-ADM-536 TURKEY POINT PLANT ATTACHMENT 2 Technical Specification Bases (Page 105 of 176) 3/4.5.2 3/4.5.3 ECCS Subsystems The OPERABILITY of ECCS components and flowpaths required in Modes 1, 2 and 3 ensures that sufficient emergency core cooling capability will be available in the event of a LOCA assuming any single active failure consideration. Two SI Pumps and one RHR Pump operating in conjunction with two Accumulators are capable of supplying sufficient core cooling to limit the peak cladding temperatures within acceptable limits for all pipe break sizes up to and including the maximum hypothetical accident of a circumferential rupture of a reactor coolant loop. In addition, the RHR subsystem provides long-term core cooling capability in the recirculation mode during the accident recovery period.
CAUTION Interim Compensatory Measure The provision for temporary restoration of power to locked ECCS valves listed in SR 4.5.2.a for up to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> to permit temporary operation for surveillance and maintenance purposes has been determined to be non-conservative with respect to the safety analysis. Therefore, until appropriate changes to SR 4.5.2 via LAR 212 are approved and implemented, restoration of power to the valves listed in SR 4.5.2.a shall be limited to one hour in order to provide alternative valve position indication in the event that the continuous valve position indication (amber light) in the control room is unavailable. Ref AR 1811016 Motor Operated Valves (MOVs) 862A, 862B, 863A, 863B are required to take suction from the containment sump via the RHR System.
PC-600 supplies controlling signals to valves MOVs 862B and 863B, to prevent opening these valves if RHR Pump B discharge pressure is above 210 psig. P0-601 provides similar functions to valves MOVs 862A and 863A. Although all four valves are normally locked in position, with power removed, the capability to power up and stroke the valves must be maintained in order to satisfy the requirements for OPERABLE flow paths (capable of taking suction from the containment sump).

PTN L-15-1 DRAFT NRC EXAM SECURE INFORMATION
PTN L-1S-1 DRAFT NRC EXAM SECURE INFORMATION A. Incorrect. Plausible if examinee incorrectly believes that two pumps are not OPERABLE (since the 4B Charging Pump is beyond its normal surveillance interval and grace period) and, hence, TS 3.0.3 is applicable.
B. Incorrect. Plausible if examinee recognizes that the 4B Charging Pump is beyond its normal surveillance interval and TS 4.0.3 applies, but incorrectly identifies 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> as the allowable surveillance delay period (rather than the longer period of one quarter).
C. Incorrect. Plausible if examinee believes that, since the 4B Charging Pump is beyond its normal surveillance interval and grace period, the pump is not OPERABLE. Thus, with only one OPERABLE Charging Pump (4A), a second pump will need to be returned to OPERABILITY within 70 hours8.101852e-4 days <br />0.0194 hours <br />1.157407e-4 weeks <br />2.6635e-5 months <br />.
D. Correct. The 4B Charging Pump is outside its quarterly surveillance schedule, which was completed 118 days ago. However, TS 4.0.3 allows for a delay of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> or the limit of the specified frequency, whichever is greater (i.e., one quarter). Therefore, this pump is OPERABLE. With the 4C Charging Pump OOS and one other Charging Pump (3A) still OPERABLE, entry into TS LCD 30.3 is NOT required.

OP-AA-100-1000 NUCLEAR FLEET ADMINISTRATIVE ATTACHMENT 15 ANNUNCIATOR AND COMPUTER POINT CONTROL (Page 1 of 4) (Section 6.1.3, Voluntary Action Item 7) 1.0 PURPOSE Alarms provide early warning of process trends or equipment malfunction. Proper use of alarms is essential to resolve potential issues before they further degrade. A fundamental principle of safe operation is that indications must be believed.
Operators must be able to trust their indications and act appropriately when an alarming condition is received. A rigorous process is utilized to remove annunciators or computer points from service ensuring appropriate compensatory measures are established and proper reviews are performed.
2.0 STANDARD The bypassing, or removal from service, of annunciators and computer points will be reviewed and authorized by an SRO, typically the CRS or Shift Manager. A tracking mechanism will provide Operator awareness and form the basis for periodic reviews.
Compensatory actions and monitoring will be put in place when needed. These controls specifically include local annunciators and points outside the control room.
3.0 EXPECTATIONS
- 1. All alarms in the Control Room as well as in the field shall be treated as valid until proven otherwise.
- 2. If a procedure directs and controls the bypassing or removal from service of an annunciator or computer point, no requirement for review under 50.59 is necessary.
- 3. Alarms may be considered for removal from service under the following conditions:
A. Testing of components or equipment calibration B. The point has become unreliable C. A procedure directs and controls its removal from service

Proposed Question: SRO Question # 98 Given the following conditions:
- An Emergency Response Team is being briefed on a mission to rescue a worker who has suffered a broken leg.
- Radiation Protection estimates each team member will receive a total dose (TEDE) of 9 rem and a thyroid dose of 6 rem while performing this rescue.
Which ONE of the following correctly describes (1) the estimated dose as compared to the TEDE limit of O-EPIP-201 11, Re-entry, and (2) the guidance for issuing Potassium Iodide (KI) to the team members?
REFERENCE PROVIDED A. (1) is within the TEDE limit; (2) KI should be issued to prevent iodine absorption B. (1) is within the TEDE limit; (2) KI should NOT be issued C. (1) exceeds the TEDE limit; (2) KI should NOT be issued D. (1) exceeds the TEDE limit; PTN L-15-1 DRAFT NRC EXAM SECURE INFORMATION
PTN L-15-1 DRAFT NRC EXAM SECURE INFORMATION (2) KI should be issued to prevent iodine absorption Proposed Answer: A Explanation (Optional):
A. Correct, because the estimated total dose (9 rem) does not exceed the TEDE rescue limit (10 rem) for a non-life-threatening situation; correct because KI should be distributed if the projected thyroid dose (CDE) is 5 rem.
B. Plausible if examinee does not recognize that a projected thyroid dose of 6 rem implies that the total committed organ dose (or CDE) will be 6 rem, which exceeds the CDE limit of 5 rem; the first part of the distractor is correct.
C. Plausible if examinee believes that the mission does not directly mitigate an event, minimize escalation, or minimize effluent releases, in which case the TEDE limit of 5 rem would be exceeded by the estimated total dose (9 rem); see explanation for distractor B.
D. See explanation for distractor C; the second part of the distractor is correct.
