Expected leak rate from open PORV or code safety Proposed Question: SRO 76 Given the following:

Unit 1 is implementing 1-EOP-02, Reactor Trip Recovery following an al inadvertent A train SIAS.

bm The 1C Charging pump was out of service prior to occurrence of the event.

The 1A Charging pump did not start on the SIAS and could not be manually started.

itt BRCO reports that for the last five (5) minutes the Quench Tank level has risen approximately 20%.

Reactor Coolant System (RCS) pressure is 1950 psia and slowly lowering.

Proposed Answer: A Explanation (Optional): The crew correctly entered EOP-02 following an inadvertent SIAS. While in EOP-02, RCS leakage (~65 gpm) developed through a PORV/Pzr Safety. Leakage into the Quench Tank can be calculated using the conversion of 1% level rise equates to approximately 16 gallons (QT level went up 20% over 5 minutes). This yields a leak rate of approximately 65 gpm for this event. Only 1 of 3 Chg pumps is operable so the RCS leak is > Chg pp capacity (44 gpm). EOP-02 will no longer be the correct procedure to be in (EOP-02 SFSCs wont be met with minimum subcooling not met). It was not stated in the question that SIAS was blocked so using the RCS leakage 1-AOP-01.08 and performing a round of SFSC for Low Mode AOP for al the current conditions would NOT be appropriate. Per Ops Policy 521 and 1-AOP-01.08, the event should be re-diagnosed then exit to the EOP-03. The candidate might think that SIAS has to be blocked in order to reset it from the inadvertent actuation but the block permissive isnt present (current RCS pressure >1700 psia).

bm A. Correct. See explanation. The RCS leakage for this question is Identified leakage from either a PORV or Pzr Safety (leakage into a collecting tank). With the unit in Mode-3 (Hot be in Cold Shutdown within 30 hours3.472222e-4 days 0.00833 hours 4.960317e-5 weeks 1.1415e-5 months . itt Standby), additional time cant be taken for the LCO action of be in Hot Standby within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days 0.00167 hours 9.920635e-6 weeks 2.283e-6 months . The action that applies is to reduce the leakage rate to within limits within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days 0.00111 hours 6.613757e-6 weeks 1.522e-6 months or B. Incorrect. See explanation. ONLY Part of the entry conditions for entering the Low Modes are met (Mode-3) SIAS is NOT blocked. 2nd part correct.

Su C. Incorrect. See explanation. Part 1 correct. Part 2 incorrect. This TS action applies (be in Cold Shutdown within 30 hours3.472222e-4 days 0.00833 hours 4.960317e-5 weeks 1.1415e-5 months ) for Pressure Boundary Leakage. It would be plausible for a candidate to interpret leakage through a code safety or PORV as pressure boundary.

Examination Outline Cross-reference: Level RO SRO Tier # 1 Group # 1 K/A # APE025AG2.2.40 Importance Rating 4.7 Loss of RHR System. Ability to apply Technical Specifications for a system.

Proposed Question: SRO 77 Given the following conditions on Unit 1:

A core RELOAD is 95% complete.

The Refueling Cavity level is 60 ft.

al bm The 1A Low Pressure Safety Injection pump (LPSI) is operating and aligned to provide Shutdown Cooling (SDC) to the Reactor Coolant System (RCS).

itt 1B LPSI pump is out of service for pump maintenance.

The 1A LPSI pump has just tripped due to a motor fault.

For the given conditions, what is the required Tech Spec Action Statement that applies AND what are the associated Bases for the SDC Technical Specification Su (Tech Spec) Limiting Condition of Operation (LCO)?

With the Refueling Cavity level at 60 ft but NO SDC loops in operation, the core on load ___(1)____ all operations that would cause an introduction into the RCS, coolant with a boron concentration less than the Tech Spec refueling boron concentration are suspended AND all containment penetrations are CLOSED D

within the next four hours.

ay The consequences of NOT meeting the Mode 6 SDC LCO, as stated in the Tech Spec Bases, would be the loss of sufficient RCS circulation through the core to

__(2)__.

A. 1) may continue for up to one hour provided that

2) ensure adequate mixing 45 B. 1) may continue for up to one hour provided that

2) to provide decay heat removal capability AND minimize the effects of a boron dilution event C. 1) must be suspended and additionally,

2) ensure adequate mixing D. 1) must be suspended and additionally,

2) to provide decay heat removal capability AND minimize the effects of a boron dilution event 153

Proposed Answer: D Explanation (optional): IAW the Unit 1 SDC Tech Spec for refueling operations, with less than ONE shutdown cooling loop in operation, suspend all operations involving an increase in reactor decay heat load (e.g. core reload) OR operations that would cause introduction into the RCS, coolant with boron concentration less than required to meet the boron concentration of Technical Specification 3.9.1(Refueling boron concentration). There are NO specific words in the Unit 1 TSAS that states a time for fuel movement suspension OR a time to restore at least one SDC to service - it just restricts the certain actions stated above from occurring and requires containment penetrations to be closed in 4 hours4.62963e-5 days 0.00111 hours 6.613757e-6 weeks 1.522e-6 months .

A. Incorrect. Both parts incorrect. Its plausible for the core reload to continue for up to one hour with all SDC secured for one hour per 8 hr period while moving fuel in the vicinity of the Rx al vessel hot legs (asterisked statement at the bottom of the LCO allows this). Also due to the Refueling Cavity being at 60 feet it provides an adequate heat sink until a SDC loop can be restored. Part 2 is plausible since the bases for the Boron Dilution LCO in the Reactivity stratification.

bm Control TS (3.1.1.3) requires 3000 gpm of coolant flow to provide adequate mixing to prevent B. Incorrect. Part 1 incorrect (see selection A). Part 2 correct (see explanation).

Comments: This question meets the KA AND the requirements of an SRO ONLY question because part 2 requires knowledge of the SDC TS LCO Bases in order to analyze applicable TS actions: The requirement that at least one shutdown cooling loop be in operation ensures that 1) sufficient cooling capacity is available to remove decay heat and maintain the water in the reactor pressure vessel below 140°F as required during the REFUELING MODE, and 2) sufficient coolant circulation is maintained through the reactor core to minimize the effects of a boron dilution incident and prevent boron stratification.

Examination Outline Cross-reference: Level RO SRO Tier # 1 Group # 1 K/A # APE026AA2.05 Importance Rating 2.5 Loss of Component Cooling Water. Ability to determine and interpret the following as they apply to the Loss of Component Cooling Water: The normal values for CCW-header flow rate and the flow rates to the components cooled by the CCWS.

Proposed Question: SRO 78 Given that Unit 2 is in Mode 1 with the following conditions:

al

bm The crew entered 2-AOP-14.01,Component Cooling Water Abnormal Operations due to a leak in the 2B CCW Heat Exchanger The Unit Supervisor has determined that the 2B Component Cooling Water (CCW) Heat Exchanger is to be isolated.

AB Busses are aligned to B side itt The 2C CCW pump suction is aligned to the B CCW header and the discharge to the A CCW header.

Which ONE of the following describes how the 2A CCW header should be aligned to Su support the 2B CCW Heat Exchanger isolation?

In accordance with 2-AOP-14.01, ensure the 1C CCW pump is aligned with the Suction from the B train, Discharge to the A train AND Electrically to the __(1)__.

D For the given alignment, CCW loads must be isolated to ensure the CCW Heat ay Exchanger design bases CCW flow limit will not exceed a MAXIMUM flow of __(2)__.

A. 1) B train

2) 19,000 gpm.

B. 1) A train

2) 14,600 gpm.

45 C. 1) B train

2) 14,600 gpm.

D. 1) A train

2) 19,000 gpm 155

Proposed Answer: C Explanation (Optional): The candidate must recall that after all alignments are complete, the AB electrical bus will be aligned to the B side and the 2B CCW pump will be in pull to lock. With the non-essential header valves open, there will be supply and return flow to/from the B CCW header for cooling through the A CCW Hx via the 2C CCW pump suction aligned from the B train and the discharge aligned to the A train. IAW the Unit 2 CCW AOP, when aligning both CCW headers to 1 CCW Heat Exchanger, a NOTE prior to the evolution cautions that CCW flow on the non-faulted header must be lowered to less than 14,600 gpm to avoid damaging the internals of the CCW heat exchanger (Shell Side). 19,000 gpm is the design flow limit for ICW (Tube Side) to the CCW heat exchanger.

10 CFR Part 55 Content: 55.41 45 55.43 5 Comments: This question is SRO because it requires assessing a plant condition and specific knowledge of the appropriate procedure section that provides specific guidance on how to uniquely align the system cross-tie components which will allow system operation during an abnormal operating condition. Additionally, the electrical/mechanical line up is significant for fault tolerance on loss of A CCW train. This satisfies (10CFR55.43 (b)) 5). The KA is also met by requiring the SRO to know the max CCW flow limit is to the CCW HX.

bm At time 0225, the crew entered 1-EOP-10, Station Blackout with the following conditions:

itt The Nuclear Watch Engineer (NWE) has locally throttled both Steam Generator (SG) Atmospheric Dump valves partially open.

Reactor Coolant System (RCS) pressure is ~1925 psia and lowering slowly.

Su Both SG water levels are being restored with Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) at 200 gpm from the 2C AFW pump.

Loop Tcold temperatures are 490°F and LOWERING RAPIDLY.

Loop Thot temperatures are 540°F and RISING SLOWLY.

REP CET is 542°F and RISING SLOWLY.

Day Complete the following statements:

To ensure that the RCS is cooled by Natural Circulation, safety related 4160Kv AC power must be connected to Unit 1 from a Unit 2 Emergency Diesel Generator by time

_____ IAW the Unit 1 FSAR Station Blackout Analysis.

45 To maintain Natural Circulation conditions for the TEMPERATURES GIVEN ABOVE, the US should direct the NWE to locally throttle the Atmospheric Dump Valves _______.

A. 0310; OPEN B. 0310: CLOSED C. 0610; OPEN D. 0610; CLOSED 157

Proposed Answer: B Explanation (Optional): 15 minutes following the SBO, Natural Circulation is developing. Thot &

Tcold separate but the T between should be no more than 50°F per Natural Circ criteria. For the given conditions, the T is at 50°F with Thot slowly rising. Since Tcold is lowering at an accelerated rate, the ADVs need to be throttled closed to reduce the cooldown rate in order to maintain loop Delta < 50°F.

A. Incorrect. See explanation.

B. Correct. See explanation. Unit 1 FSAR SBO Safety Analysis takes credit for the operator action of connecting Unit 1 to a Unit 2, 4.16 Kv safety bus powered from a Unit 2 EDG within al an hour. Also credited to occur within one hour is the operator action of operating the ADVs to ensure Natural Circulation is maintained (need instrument air to operate the ADVs on Unit 1).

bm C. Incorrect. See explanation and selection D.

D. Incorrect. See explanation. Unit 2 is a DC coping unit and the FSAR SBO analysis assumes a 4 hour4.62963e-5 days 0.00111 hours 6.613757e-6 weeks 1.522e-6 months duration until AC power has to be restored. Part 2 correct.

Proposed Question: SRO 80 A Loss of Offsite Power occurred with the following: al Time 0220 bm Unit 1 was at 100% power and both Emergency Diesel Generators (EDGs) started and the other EDG is Out of Service.

Time 0240 itt Unit 2 is in a refueling outage, DEFUELED and (1) one EDG Generator started On Unit 1, ONE of the running EDGs tripped on Overspeed.

Su On Unit 2, the ONLY running EDG tripped on Differential Current.

For the given times, which ONE of the following identifies the Emergency Classifications that must be reported to the State Watch Office and NRC?

(References Provided)

Day A. Time 0220, Alert - notifications required.

Time 0240, No change in classification - No additional notification required.

B. Time 0220, Unusual Event - notifications required.

Time 0240, Site Area Emergency - notifications are required.

45 C. Time 0220, Unusual Event - notifications required.

Time 0240, Alert - notifications required.

D. Time 0220, Alert - notifications required.

Time 0240, Site Area Emergency - notifications are required.

159

Proposed Answer: C Explanation (Optional): Time 0220 conditions for E-Plan consideration are since both EDGs started on Unit 1 (with the Unit in Hot conditions), the classification for a LOOP is Unusual event because with Unit 2 in Cold conditions - defueled, 1 EDG is allowed to be OOS without causing an Alert (one EDG away from an SBO on Unit 2). This would be plausible if Unit 2 was in Hot conditions. For time 0240, with 2 EDGs not running on Unit 2, this doesnt required classifying the event as a Site Area Emergency since the unit is defueled (SAE only applies for modes 1-4).

However since only one EDG is running on Unit 1, that unit is one EDG away from an SBO so an Alert should be declared. Alert is the correct classification for the conditions on Unit 2 as well.

2) Suspend efforts to re-align CEA 56 and reduce power to 70% IAW 1-AOP-22.01, Rapid Downpower 163

Proposed Answer:

Explanation (Optional): B A. First part correct, DCS is pulse count system. To reset the position indication to 0 for this CEA on the DCS, the CEA would have to drop to the 0 inch indication and activate the dropped CEA contact (which it did for the stated conditions in the question). If CEA 56 was at any other position below the UEL, the DCS indication would remain at 136.Second part incorrect. The maximum time to re-align IAW the COLR curve is 60 minutes. IAW Attachment 1 of 1-AOP-22.01, efforts must be stopped to re-align and perform a rapid downpower to 70%.

Saturation Margin Proposed Question: SRO 83 Given the following:

Unit 2 has evacuated the Control Room due to the presence of toxic fumes al bm All Operator actions in the Control Room were performed prior to evacuation.

RCO A is maintaining Hot Standby conditions at the Remote Shutdown Panel Complete the following statements:

itt The Technical Specification (Tech Spec) Remote Shutdown System Instrumentation that should be used to determine subcooling margin IAW 2-ONP-100.02 Control Room Inaccessibility Figure 1, is Reactor Coolant System

____(1)____ and Pressurizer pressure.

Su Later on in the event, it was noted by RCO A that the Pressurizer Pressure instrument used to calculate subcooling margin had failed low. The Tech Spec Action that is applicable if ONLY ONE CHANNEL of the Remote Shutdown Panel Pressurizer Pressure instrumentation is NOT operable, is to restore the D

inoperable channel to operable status within __(2)___ days.

ay (References Provided)

A. 1) Thot instruments

2) 7 B. 1) Thot instruments 45 2) 30 C. 1) Tcold instruments + 50°F

2) 7 D. 1) Tcold instruments + 50°F

2) 30 165

Proposed Answer: D Explanation (Optional): For the given conditions, the unit is required to be tripped for CR evacuations (Mode 3) so the Tech Spec applies. The SRO applicant must have knowledge that there are two pressurizer pressure instruments on the Remote Shutdown Panel. Both Tcold instruments are used to determine subcooled margin but the procedure only requires use of one pressure instrument. If the applicant believes there is only ONE pressure instrument on the Remote Shutdown Panel then 7 days is plausible for a TSAS (i.e. with one instrument inoperable, the 1 below minimum action applies).

A. Incorrect. Both parts wrong B. Incorrect. Part 2 correct but part 1 is wrong. There is no Tech Spec Thot Instrumentation of the Remote Shutdown Panel. It is plausible because Thot instruments TR-1112 and TR-1122 are Tech Spec Accident Monitoring Instruments on Unit 2.

al C. Incorrect. Part 1 true plausible because 7 days is the TSAS for BOTH channels of Remote Shutdown Instrumentation (Pressurizer Pressure).

bm D. Correct. With the Unit in Mode 3, the TSAS for one channel of Remote Shutdown Instrumentation (Tcold) is restore in 30 days.

al

Unit 1 is in Mode 3 bm

The Reactor Coolant System is at normal operating temperature and pressure

A FAILED SOLENOID on the air supply line to 1-HCV-14-1, CCW to the Reactor itt Coolant Pump (RCPs), has caused a loss of instrument air to 1-HCV-14-1.

The Unit Supervisor directs the opening of 1-HCV-14-1 by installing a nitrogen jumper bypassing the failed solenoid in accordance with 1-NOP-01.02, RCP Operation, section 5.2, Local Restoration of CCW to RCPs, All RCPs _(1)____. Su

1) What is the impact of the loss of instrument air on RCP operation?

2) Following the system alteration, Technical Specification 3.6.3.1, Containment Isolation Valves, 1-HCV-14-1__(2)___.

Day A. 1) must be secured due to a total loss of CCW to the RCPs.

2) is considered OPERABLE.

B. 1) may continue to run, but CCW flow to the RCPs will be reduced.

2) is considered OPERABLE 45 C. 1) may continue to run, but CCW flow to the RCPs will be reduced.

2) must be considered INOPERABLE.

D. 1) must be secured due to a total loss of CCW to the RCPs.

2) must be considered INOPERABLE.

171

Proposed Answer: D Explanation (Optional): For RCPs to operate; at least 200 gpm of CCW is required to each pump. CCW to all the RCPs is supplied from the non-essential (N) CCW header. There are 2 N-header supply and return valves that tap off each of the A and B essential headers (4 valves total). Downstream of these valves are the four CCW to RCP supply and return Cont Isol valves (one of them is HCV-14-1). If the candidate were to confuse one of the N-header valves with the CCW to RCP supply and return Cont Isol valves, reduced CCW flow to the RCPs would be plausible because if an N-header valve failed closed due to a malfunction of the solenoid, the CCW N-header valves from the other CCW train would still be open and CCW would still be supplied to the RCPs from the non-affected CCW train. With one of the Cont. Isol al valves closed (HCV-14-1, 2, 6 or 7) all CCW flow is interrupted to the RCPs.

A. Incorrect. Part 1 correct. If the solenoid failed and 1-HCV-14-1 was jumpered through the solenoid vent path, it could not change state (to vent air to the valve) to close the valve on an bm ESFAS signal. Therefore it would remain failed open and would not perform its intended function of a Cont. Isol valve. Part 2 would be plausible if the malfunction on HCV-14-1 were due to a loss of Instrument Air caused by an air line rupture. Backup nitrogen could be supplied itt from a jumper through the normal air supply line and operation of the solenoid for HCV-14-1 would not be affected if an ESFAS signal were to occur (i.e. the solenoid would change state to vent air to the valve), so it would remain operable for this alteration.

B. Incorrect. Part 1 incorrect, Part 2 incorrect (both parts plausible - see selection A)

C. Incorrect. Part 1 incorrect, Part 2 correct. See selection A D. Correct. See A Technical Reference(s): Su 1-NOP-01.02, ;Reactor Coolant Pump Operation, Section 5.2 Proposed references to be provided to applicants during N/A D

Proportional heater bank P1 breaker failed bm adequate Pressurizer Heater Capacity. itt Surveillance 2-OSP-100.02 Schedule of Periodic Tests, Checks and Calibrations Week 2 step 4.4.2.1 (Thursday) was conducted in order to verify The Distributed Control System (DCS) direct reading point for Backup Heater B1 kW indicates 151 kW Su Which ONE of the following statements correctly describes the required maintenance actions to allow continued operation at 100%?

A. Power operations may continue with NO restrictions. Schedule maintenance to D

45 D. Schedule maintenance to repair and have the backup heater group B1 made operable NO later than 8/20 at 1800.

173

Proposed Answer: C Explanation (Optional): The DCS is the main plant computer used in the control room. The acceptance criterion of 150 kW is the nominal TS requirement for Pzr Heater capacity. However since there are 5 kW of Transformer losses from the 4.16kV power supply to the Pzr LC power supply, that has to be added to the 150 kW in order to meet the TSAS surveillance. This is described in OSP-100.02 Ops Surveillances.

Since Pzr Htr bank B1 = 151 kW<155KKW = does not meet surveillance requirement.

2) If a second RWT level channel failed, RAS actuation could occur prematurely and align ECCS pumps to an inadequate suction source during accident conditions.

C. 1) The time allowed for maintaining an inoperable RAS Channel in the tripped condition shall be limited to 48 hrs.

2) If a safety related DC bus was lost, concurrent with a LOCA, RAS would fail to 45 respond since there are not enough energized RAS channels available to actuate.

D. 1) The RWT Level ESFAS Channel A may be left in bypass indefinitely but must be returned to operable status no later than the next Cold Shutdown

2) If a second RWT level channel failed, RAS actuation could occur prematurely and align ECCS pumps to an inadequate suction source during accident conditions.

175

Proposed Answer: B Explanation (Optional):

A. Incorrect. Part 1 incorrect but plausible because this is the action required for the ESFAS channels that are DE-ENERGIZED to actuate. Part 2 is incorrect but plausible because this is the bases for CSAS (must be placed in trip after 48 hrs), which is energize to actuate, so the candidate could apply the wrong bases.

B. by 2300 March 17th due to a Fitness for Duty violation ONLY.

C. by 0400 March 17th AND 2300 March 17th due to a contaminated injured person being transported offsite AND a Fitness for Duty violation.

D. Not reportable since the individual was not contaminated NOR were there any Fitness for Duty violations.

195

Proposed Answer: C Explanation (Optional): An area or person is contaminated with readings over 1000/100 cm2. A FFD issue for a licensed operator or supervisor is a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months notification (if confirmed). A notification due to FFD is required since the BAC results are high enough (>.04%) to require reporting to the NRC except this only applies if the individual was a Licensed or a Supervisor.

The individual was a WEC SRO which is a supervisor and a license holder so NRC notification due to FFD is required. Even though the WEC is not an active SRO, he is current so the notification is required. An 8 hr notification is required for the contaminated injured person sent off-site. The worker is Contaminated due to having contamination detected on his skin of 1500 DPM (> 1000 DPM). For the given conditions, the only required notification is the 8 hr for injured contaminated worker transported offsite.
