Answer Key (JPM Attachment 2)
Calculator Ruler Red pen READ TO CANDIDATE DIRECTION TO CANDIDATE:
I will explain the initial conditions and state the task to be performed. All control room steps shall be performed for this JPM, including any required communications. I will provide cues and reports on other actions when directed by you. Ensure you indicate to me when you understand your assigned task. To indicate that you have completed your assigned task return the handout sheet I provided you.
INITIAL CONDITIONS:
The plant is at 9000 MWD/MTU (MOL).
PCS boron concentration is 1000 ppm.
The reactor has been manually tripped due to a PCS leak.
Three (3) full length control rods did not fully insert on the reactor trip.
Emergency Manual Boration has been initiated from both boric acid flow paths per SOP-2A, Attachment 14.
EOP-1.0, Standard Post Trip Actions, is complete.
The Control Room Supervisor (CRS) has entered EOP-4.0, Loss of Coolant Accident Recovery.
A PCS cooldown is in progress with PCS temperature currently at 514oF.
CBAT Boron Concentration is 12400 ppm.
INITIATING CUE:
The CRS directs you to review, in its entirety, the completed EOP Supplement 35, Determination of Emergency Boration Requirements, which used the Technical Data Book data for this event. You are to identify errors, if any, by circling in red pen.
Provide examinee with copy of completed EOP Supplement 35 (JPM Attachment 1) and Cycle 27 Technical Data Book.
NRC EXAM MATERIAL Page 4 of 16 Palisades April 2020 Time Start: ________
Proc.Step TASK ELEMENT 1 STANDARD Grade 1.01 MULTIPLY the number of full length Control Rods beyond one, NOT fully inserted, by 225 ppm.
__________ x 225 ppm = _____ ppm (Number of stuck rods > 1)
Candidate identifies that the incorrect value of full length control rods beyond one was recorded for this calculation.
AND Circles 3 in red pen. (ERROR #1)
AND Identifies that the calculated value for this step is not correct.
AND Circles 675 in red pen. (ERROR #2)
AND Documents 2 for full length control rods beyond one and 450 for calculated value in red pen.
S U Comment:
Evaluator Cue: Provide cue to Candidate to determine and document the correct values in red pen adjacent to the errors identified.
Evaluator Note: Per Initial Conditions three control rods were not fully inserted, therefore, 2 should have been recorded for number of stuck rods > 1 and 450 should have been recorded for final ppm value.
CRITICAL STEP
NRC EXAM MATERIAL Page 5 of 16 Palisades April 2020 Proc.Step TASK ELEMENT 2 STANDARD Grade 1.02 DETERMINE the required Shutdown Boron concentration using the current Core Burnup for the desired Plant Condition from either of the following:
- Duty Station Manager's Book
- Technical Data Book, Figure 1.2 Candidate reviews the Required Shutdown Boron concentration value is recorded as 1400.
S U Comment:
Evaluator Note: Per Initial Conditions - core burnup is 9000 MWD/MTU and PCS temperature is 514oF; the Technical Data Book was used; and Candidate uses the <525, 2% delta rho curve to determine required boron concentration.
CRITICAL STEP Proc.Step TASK ELEMENT 3 STANDARD Grade 1.03 DETERMINE Refueling Boron concentration Technical Data Book Figure 1.1.
Candidate reviews that the Refueling Boron concentration from Technical Data Book Figure 1.1 is recorded as 2807.
S U Comment:
CRITICAL STEP
NRC EXAM MATERIAL Page 6 of 16 Palisades April 2020 Proc.Step TASK ELEMENT 4 STANDARD Grade 1.04 ADD boron requirements for stuck control rods and required Shutdown Boron concentration.
- a. Stuck control rod boron requirement (Step 1.01): = _____ ppm
- b. Required Shutdown Boron concentration (Step 1.02): + _____ ppm
- c. Final required boron concentration:
= _____ ppm Candidate identifies that the incorrect value is recorded for Stuck control rod boron requirement.
AND Circles 675 in red pen. (ERROR #3)
AND Documents 450 as correct value in red pen.
AND Reviews that 1400 is recorded for Required Shutdown Boron Concentration.
AND Identifies that the incorrect value is recorded for Final required boron concentration (due to the error carried forward from step 1.01).
AND Circles 2075 in red pen. (ERROR #4)
AND Documents 1850 as correct value in red pen.
S U Comment:
Evaluator Cue: Provide cue to Candidate to determine and document the correct values in red pen adjacent to the errors identified.
CRITICAL STEP
NRC EXAM MATERIAL Page 7 of 16 Palisades April 2020 Proc.Step TASK ELEMENT 5 STANDARD Grade 1.05 SUBTRACT latest PCS boron concentration from final required boron concentration.
- a. Final required boron concentration:
_____ ppm
- _____ ppm
- c. Required boron change:
= _____ppm Candidate verifies that 1850 is recorded as the Final required boron concentration.
AND Verifies 1000 is recorded as the Latest PCS boron concentration.
AND Verifies that 850 is recorded for the Required boron change.
Comment:
Evaluator Cue: PRIOR TO THE PERFORMANCE and REVIEW OF THIS STEP, provide cue that the errors in step 1.01 and 1.04 have been corrected by the Performer. The correct Final boron concentration of 1850 has been entered in step 1.05.
Provide cue for Candidate to continue their review with this correct data.
CRITICAL STEP
NRC EXAM MATERIAL Page 8 of 16 Palisades April 2020 Proc.Step TASK ELEMENT 6 STANDARD Grade 1.06 DETERMINE the change in CBAT level required to raise PCS boron concentration to final required boron concentration.
- b. Amount of CBAT level change (%)
per 100 ppm (from Table A):
_____ %/100 ppm
- c. Required change in CBAT Level (%):
______ X ______ X 0.01 =____%
(Step 1.06.a.) (Step 1.06.b.)
Candidate verifies that a value of 850 is recorded for 1.06a.
AND Identifies that the incorrect value has been recorded for CBAT level change (%)
per 100 ppm in 1.06b.
AND Circles 9.9 in red pen. (ERROR #5)
AND Documents the correct value of 11.0 in red pen.
AND Identifies that the recorded value is incorrect for the required change in CBAT level in 1.06c.
AND Red circles 84.15. (ERROR #6)
AND Documents the correct value of 93.5 in red pen.
S U Comment:
Evaluator Note: Per NOTE 2: If CBAT Boron Concentration is between two numbers or if both tanks are being utilized, then use the lower concentration in the calculation.
Candidate should have used the Initial Conditions value of 12400 ppm for CBAT Boron concentration and determined that 12000 ppm (lower value) in Table A must be used in determining % level change in CBAT. The performer incorrectly interpolated the Table A values. Correct value in 6b should be 11.0 CRITICAL STEP
NRC EXAM MATERIAL Page 9 of 16 Palisades April 2020 Proc.Step TASK ELEMENT 7 STANDARD Grade 1.07 REQUEST Reactor Engineering perform an EM-04-08 calculation as time permits.
Candidate verifies that Reactor Engineering has been notified.

Candidate informs CRS of completion of review and errors found.
S U Comment:
Evaluator Cue: Provide cue that the performer will correct the errors identified and another Operator will review that calculation.
