A. Incorrect - Flow is in the forward direction. However because there is indicated flow, indications are inaccurate and must be calculated.

B. Correct - Flow is in the forward direction. Due to the influence of natural circulation and low flow in the active loop as well as indication of flow in the B loop, indications are inaccurate must be calculated.

C. Incorrect - Flow would be in the reverse direction if running recirc pump speed was greater than 40% rated speed.

D. Incorrect - Flow would be in the reverse direction if running recirc pump speed was greater than 40% rated speed.

B. Correct - With a loss of Bus 29, MCC 29-1 would be lost. MCC 29-1 is the power supply to both the 'B' pump and squib valve, thus neither of them could become energized. 'A' pump and squib is powered from MCC 28-1, so when the control switch is taken to position "SYS 1 & 2" (per the hard card) they would become energized and operate as designed.

B - Incorrect. RBM 8 alternate reference APRM has been lost. No issues with proper operation of RBM 8 will result from conditions in the stem. This requires the candidate to display knowledge of APRM reference channel relationships with RBMs.

C - Correct. Although APRM 3 must be bypassed to clear the RBM INOP condition, APRM 5 must be bypassed to allow control rod withdrawal due to the additional control rod block present.

D - Incorrect. Incorrect. APRMs 3 and 5 must be bypassed to clear the rod blocks (RBM and APRM downscale). RBM 8 has lost the alternate reference APRM given stem conditions. Normal reference APRM (4) is not affected.

A. Correct - The main turbine bypass valves are interlocked closed when condenser vacuum drops to 7 inHg to prevent over-pressurizing the main condenser B. Incorrect - 7 inHg is correct. The reason is associated with operating the main turbine at low vacuum (below 23.7 inHg).

C. Incorrect - 20 inHg is incorrect. The reason given is correct for 7 inHg. 20 inHg is the turbine trip setpoint for low vacuum. This is below the RPS actuation setpoint for low condenser vacuum with the mode switch in run.

A - Incorrect - This is the only immediate action contained in DOA 0010-10, however this is not the only required action.

B. Incorrect - Announcing location of fire on Site Public Address System is required. Plausible because the site PA and the fire siren are both methods of alerting personnel to a fire.

C - Incorrect. The IC/Fire brigade must be dispatched. This is plausible if the candidate does not recognize the cafeteria as a realm of responsibility since it is located outside the plant. Cafeteria is located inside the protected area but contains no Safe Shutdown equipment.

D - Correct. When a fire occurs inside the protected area the IC and fire brigade must be dispatched (Immediate Action of DOA 0010-10), the fire siren sounded (twice), and the location of the fire announced over the plant PA system.

EXAMINATION ANSWER KEY 15-1 (2016-301) NRC Exam - RO 63 ID: 27103 Points: 1.00 Unit 2 was in STARTUP.

All four SRMs are fully inserted and are reading approximately 10,000 CPS when annunciator 902-5 A-4, "SRM HI/INOP" alarms and the associated rod out block occurs.

The Operating team observed that SRM 21 is now reading approximately 5,000 cps and trending down, while SRMs 22, 23 and 24 are still indicating 10,000 cps.

Which of the following would cause the observed indications and what actions are required?

A. (1) 24/48 VDC Bus A voltage is low (2) Bypass SRM 21 B. (1) SRM 21 high voltage power supply output is low (2) Bypass SRM 21 C. (1) 24/48 VDC Bus A voltage is low (2) Verify IRMs are on range 8 or greater D.

A. Incorrect - 24/48 voltage lowering would cause similar indications for SRM 22 B. Correct - A low high voltage power supply to a SRM will cause erratic operation including a low reading and an INOP trip when the high voltage - low setpoint is reached and thus initiating a rod out block.

C. Incorrect - SRM 22 indications would be effected, action is plausible because all S RM trips/blocks are bypassed when IRMs are on range 8 or greater.

D. Incorrect - Correct cause, action is plausible because all SRM trips/blocks are bypassed when IRMs are on range 8 or greater.

CFR: 43.5 Safety Function: 2 Level: High Pedigree: Bank History: 2010 NRC Explanation:

A. Incorrect - Feed flow higher than steam flow would cause RPV level to rise.

B. Incorrect - Feed flow higher than steam flow would cause RPV level to rise.

C. Incorrect - DOA 0600-01 would be entered first. If efforts do not abate the level trend, RX scram would be inserted prior to level reaching

+8" and DEOP 100 would be entered.

D. Correct - If steam flow is higher than feed flow RPV level will lower due to lack of inventory make-up. If uncorrected, RPV level will decrease to the level (+25 inches) that causes annunciator 902-5 F-8 REACTOR VESSEL LOW LEVEL to annunciate. The DAN directs entering DOA 0600-01, before getting to the entry condition for DEOP 100 (+8 inches).

EXAMINATION ANSWER KEY 15-1 (2016-301) NRC Exam - SRO 84 ID: 27035 Points: 1.00 Unit 2 was operating at rated power when the 2A CRD Pump tripped.

The NSO reports that multiple CRD accumulator alarms associated with withdrawn control rods have been received.

NO operator actions have been taken.

EO reports accumulator alarms are due to low pressure and multiple CRD accumulators are below 900 psig.

Based on the above conditions, what is the minimum action required to comply with LCO 3.1.5, Control Rod Scram Accumulators, and what is the basis for the allowable time to complete the required action?

A. Restore CRD charging water header pressure above 940 psig within 20 minutes.

20 minutes is sufficient time to place a CRD pump in service.

B. Restore CRD charging water header pressure above 940 psig within 20 minutes.

20 minutes is short enough that CRD mechanism temperatures will not be adversely affected.

C. Declare the affected control rods inoperable within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />.

A. Incorrect - Although a reactor scram via turbine trip will not occur due to 38.5% scram being bypassed, a RX scram is still going to occur based on low vacuum. DOA 3300-02 directs inserting a manual scram if loss of vacuum is imminent. The time is correct to reach OP-DR-103-102-1002 low vacuum scram contingency.

B. Correct - OP-DR-103-102-1002 directs setting a scram contingency based on condenser vacuum of 22.5 inHg. Based on the alarms in the stem and the time values, the candidate must determine the rate of change for condenser vacuum is 1 inHg every 10 minutes. Based on this knowledge the candidate must recall and apply the OP-DR-103-102-1002 scram contingency requirements.

C. Incorrect - Although a reactor scram via turbine trip will not occur due to 38.5% scram being bypassed, a RX scram is still going to occur based on low vacuum. DOA 3300-02 directs inserting a manual scram if loss of vacuum is imminent. Time is incorrect. This time corresponds to the time based on rate of change to turbine trip on low vacuum (20 inHg)

C. Incorrect - Temperature and level of Fuel Storage Pool shall be monitored locally. Starting additional RBCCW pumps is incorrect.

Starting additional RBCCW pumps would be correct if FPC system was not maintaining temperature with forced flow present.

System CFR: 43.5 Safety Function; 7 Level: High Pedigree: Bank History: 2008 NRC Explanation:

A. Incorrect - IRM downscale with Mode Switch in Startup will result in ROD BLOCK when IRMs are on range 2.

B. Correct - A faulty range switch or its associated attenuat ors caused the downscale indication. A downscale (5/125) generates a ROD BLOCK in this condition. Rods cannot to be pulled until the rod block is cleared.

This is accomplished by bypassing the IRM. RPS 1/2 Scram would occur for upscale failure, not downscale.

C. Incorrect - IRM downscale will not actuate RPS. If the range switch was rotated in the WRONG direction (this did not occur in the stem) RPS 1/2 Scram would occur. This event has occurred in the past at Dresden.

D. Incorrect - Rotation of the switch in the opposite direction for 2 ranges would result in RPS 1/2 scram due to IRM reading upscale on Range 1.

IRM ranging in the incorrect direction has occurred at Dresden in the past.
