NRC EXAM QUESTION REVIEW QUESTION:
8.04 Unit 3 and Unit 4 are operating at 100% power when Boric Acid Transfer Pump (BATP) 3A fails.
BATP 4A had failed the i
previous day, and expected time of repairs on both pumps is t
in excess two weeks.
Assuming all other components operable, i
i select the statement below which most correctly describes the actions required by Technical Specifications.
NOTE:
Technical Specifications are enclosed for reference.
a.
Unit 3 or 4 must be placed in hot shutdown.
b.
Units 3 and 4 must be placed in hot shutdown.
c.
Unit 3 or 4 must be placed in cold shutdown.
d.
Units 3 and 4 must be placed in cold shutdown.
RESPONSE
We request that the answer be changed to "c"
for the following reason:
You need 2 pumps for single unit operation and 3 pumps for dual unit operation.
With 2 pumps out of service for more than 2 weeks (exceeds the 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> time limit) we have only 2 operable pumps which do not meet the requirement for dual unit operation.
During single unit operation, if the BATP Technical i
Specification requirements cannot be met, the affected unit would eventually be placed in cold shutdown.
Turkey Point interprets this requirement to also be applicable to dual i
unit operation in that if the Technical Specification requirements for dual unit operation are exceeded, one unit will eventually be placed in cold shutdown.
