Conditions and limitations in the facility license.
Justification for SRO Only: By adding the DC breaker trip, the question moves beyond the immediate operator action and requires the SRO to direct another method to control pressure.
Explanations:
A. Correct - (1) Per DOA 5600-01, if the 902-7 panel pushbuttons are not successful, and reverse power does not trip the turbine the EHC pumps should be placed in PTL. (2) Per DOA 5600-01 immediate actions pressure control should be transitioned to IC or HPCI, but with I-2 on 250 VDC MCC #3 tripped open 250 VDC MCC 2A has no power which powers both IC and HPCI valves/pumps that are required for operation; the Unit Supervisor will then have to direct the ADS valves for pressure control IAW DEOP 100 pressure leg.
B. Incorrect - (1) The first part is correct. (2) DOA 5600-01 directs the use of HPCI or Isolation condenser for the conditions listed in the stem, but no power to the 2-1301-3 the IC is not available.
Plausible because (1) the first part of the answer is correct. (2) use of IC for pressure control is the next step in DOA 5600-01, but with no power to the 2-1301-3 the IC is not available.
C. Incorrect - (1) Closing the MSIVs and MSL drains would isolate the steam supply to the Main Turbine but DOA 5600-01 directs keeping the MSIVs open and to maintain Main Condenser vacuum and steam seal pressure (2) the second part of the question is correct.
Plausible because (1) These are the actions to stop an uncontrolled cooldown but without the bypass valves being available DOA 5600-01 directs maintaining Main Condenser vacuum and steam seal pressure for the acceptance of house loads (2) the second part of the question is correct.
D. Incorrect - (1) Per DOA 5600-01, if the 902-7 panel pushbuttons are not successful, and reverse power does not trip the turbine the EHC pumps should be secured. (2) the second part of the question is correct Plausible because (1) These are the actions to stop an uncontrolled cooldown but without the bypass valves being available DOA 5600-01 directs maintaining Main Condenser vacuum and steam seal pressure for the acceptance of house loads (2) use of IC for pressure control is the next step in DOA 5600-01, but with no power to the 2-1301-3 the IC is not available.

A LOCA occurs on Unit 2 Bus 23-1 tripped on overcurrent RPV level is -150 inches and rising slowly DW pressure is 6 psig and rising slowly Torus temperature is 150°F and rising slowly Torus level 16 ft and rising slowly RPV pressure is 225 psig and lowering All available low pressure ECCS is injecting into the RPV HPCI is running in pressure control mode Subsequently, the Unit 2 Torus develops an unisolable leak resulting in the following conditions:
Torus level is 12 ft 1 in and lowering slowly Actions to restore Torus level are NOT successful If the Torus level trend continues, which of the following actions are appropriate?
A.
Secure ALL ECCS injection into the RPV.
B.
Inject with ALL ECCS pumps, including HPCI.
C.
Secure HPCI, continue RPV injection into RPV with Core Spray and LPCI.
D.
Secure HPCI, inject into the RPV with Core Spray, initiate torus and drywell sprays with LPCI.
Answer:
C Answer Explanation The conditions given indicate the need to inject with ALL ECCS systems into the RPV since level is below the TAF. However, because torus level is approaching 12 feet, DEOP 200-1 directs HPCI to be tripped if not needed for RPV injection. So, HPCI should be tripped but all other ECCS systems should continue to inject and NOT be diverted until level is >TAF.

A. Incorrect - With RPV level below TAF, and only 1 CS and 2 LPCI pumps available, all available motor driven ECCS pumps must inject at full flow to restore level above TAF per OP-DR-103-102-1002. This would be done even if potential pump damage could occur. Plausible because with the given drywell pressure, torus level and torus temperature, and assuming full flow from the 2C, 2D LPCI, and 2B Core Spray, Detail N2 LPCI / Core Spray NPSH Limit would be exceeded (torus bottom pressure would be approximately 13-14 psig, the flow at 5000 gpm would exceed the 10 psig curve at 5000 gpm per LPCI pump, and 4750 gpm per the CS pump). The candidate may believe that securing the pumps to protect them outweighs the need for adequate core cooling.
B. Incorrect - Plausible because Level is rising with the existing ECCS flow, and HPCI only HPCI being used for Pressure Control. Therefore HPCI is not needed for adequate core cooling and would be secured.
C. Correct - The conditions given indicate the need to inject with ALL ECCS systems into the RPV since level is below the TAF. However, because torus level is approaching 12 feet, DEOP 200-1 directs HPCI to be tripped if not needed for RPV injection. So, HPCI should be tripped but all other ECCS systems should continue to inject and NOT be diverted until level is >TAF.
D. Incorrect - With the given conditions, per OP-DR-103-102-1002, ALL available LPCI and CS pumps must inject, since RPV level is below TAF. Plausible because containment pressure is 6 psig and rising, and DEOP 0200-01 directs starting torus sprays before drywell pressure reaches 11 psig; and because if both CS pumps were injecting, and RPV level was rising, this would be allowed by OP-DR-103-102-1002.

Explanation: SRO only due to the fact that the On Site Fire would require entry into multiple DOA.s and include Operability calls based on Tech Spec compliance A. Incorrect - With the source of the smoke from in the Control Room then the correct mode would be would be PURGE. Plausible because step D.2 of DOA 5750-04, has a decision point on whether to go to D.5 or D.8. This would be correct if D.8 was chosen.
B. Incorrect - With the source of the smoke from in the Control Room then the correct mode would be PURGE. In addition, CREVs would be operable in Isolate Mode. Plausible because step D.2 of DOA 5750-04, has a decision point on whether to go to D.5 or D.8. This would be correct if D.8 was chosen.
The second part is correct C. Incorrect - The first part is correct. With a fire in the control room causing smoke or noxious fumes entry is required into DOA 5750-04, SMOKE, NOXIOUS FUMES OR AIRBORNE CONTAMINANT IN THE CONTROL ROOM. If the origin of the smoke is from inside the control room, then Step D.5 requires placing Main Control Room HVAC to the PURGE MODE. In the Purge Mode with the dampers selected for OUTSIDE, the T.S for Control Room Envelope is not met and the system must be declared INOP. Plausible because the first part is correct (smoke purge is required), and the candidate may mistakenly believe the CREVs system is still OPERABLE.
D. Correct - With a fire in the control room causing smoke or noxious fumes entry is required into DOA 5750-04, SMOKE, NOXIOUS FUMES OR AIRBORNE CONTAMINANT IN THE CONTROL ROOM. If the origin of the smoke is from inside the control room, then Step D.5 requires placing Main Control Room HVAC to the PURGE MODE.

2A Recirc pump speed 30%
2B Recirc pump speed 0%
Active loop / reactor coolant temp 525°F Idle loop temperature 498°F RPV bottom head temperature 350°F Which of the following describes restart conditions of the 2B Recirc pump?
A.
All conditions are appropriate for restart.
B.
A restart is NOT permitted due to 2A Recirc pump speed ONLY.
C.
A restart is NOT permitted due to the difference between idle loop temperature AND active loop temperature.
D.
A restart is NOT permitted due to the difference between active loop temperature AND RPV bottom head temperature.
Answer:
D Answer Explanation DOP 0202-01 specifies the conditions necessary for restart of the idle Recirc pump. The temperature difference between the bottom head coolant and the reactor vessel coolant must be < 145°F (SR 3.4.9.3).
This requirement is NOT met. The temperature difference between the Recirc Loop coolant in the loop to be started and the reactor vessel coolant must be < 50°F (SR 3.4.9.4). This requirement is met. Lastly, the operating Recirc pump speed (for U2) must be < 30% (prerequisites of DOP 202-01). This requirement is met. So, of the conditions given, one criteria does NOT meet the restart requirements.

A.
Isolating HPCI steam flow B.
Re-aligning HPCI Steam Drains C.
Isolating the Isolation Condenser D.
Re-aligning Recirc Sample Lines Answer:
B Answer Explanation Conservatively the Assembly area inside the RPA is near the feedpumps, which is against the condenser shield wall. Any flow of radioactive water to the condenser would increase dose rates in this area, so re-aligning HPCI steam drains is correct. HPCI is not isolated because it may be needed if a SCRAM is required.

SRO Justification: Per ES-401, Attachment 2, section II.E, 10CFR55.43(b)(5) includes the selection of a procedure or section of a procedure to mitigate or recover or which to proceed. In the associated question, the Unit Supervisor must identify the actions needed in order to mitigate the significant increase in iodine level in the reactor coolant.
Explanation:
A. Incorrect - Verifying the Mechanical Vacuum pump is tripped is NOT required unless MSL radiation is > 3000 mR/hr.
Plausible because this would be a correct action if the increased activity caused a steam line high rad.
B. Incorrect - Reduce power to keep activity level below the monitors trip point is NOT required unless MSL or Offgas high radiation alarms annunciate.
Plausible because this is a correct action to reduce power with recirc and rods if above MSL or OFF GAS hi rad alarms.
C. Incorrect - If Iodine concentration significantly spikes the cause must be determined prior to restarting the power changes.
Plausible because if the Off Gas system will reset then the action is to hold at power level until further instructions are received from the US.

Explanation:
A. Incorrect - Plausible because although power is less than 30%, and RBM is not required by Tech Specs, the candidate may assume that the rod block still physically occurs, and must be manually bypassed (it is automatically bypassed by the RBM).
B. Correct - With power less than 30% as indicated by 3 bypass valves open (~12% power), the RBM is not required per Tech Spec Table 3.3.2.1-1. Therefore, no action required.
C. Incorrect - Plausible because this would be the correct answer for 1 channel Hi/INOP and power greater than 30%.
D. Incorrect - Plausible because the TS delaying entry into the associated conditions and required actions for up to 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> under certain circumstances for required surveillances.

Explanation; A. Incorrect - Plausible because neither of the individual SPING readings exceed the limit for a general emergency, but both meet the RS1.
B. Incorrect - Plausible because Part 1 is correct. This would be correct if the readings are not summed correctly to meet RG1 for curies AND PAR is not being made from the control room without knowing TEDE and CDE.
Answer is plausible if the candidate incorrectly executes the PARs flowchart.
C. Incorrect - Plausible because Part 1 is correct. This would be correct if the readings are not summed correctly to meet RG1 for curies.
D. Correct - The sum of reading on the Unit 2/3 Rx Bldg and Unit 2/3 Chimney SPINGs exceeds the 2.05 E+09 uCi/sec for greater than or equal to 15 minutes meets the threshold of RG1. Per the PARs flowchart, Evacuation should be recommended and based on wind direction the correct areas are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11 Execution of PARs flowchart requires the candidate to transverse multiple decision points. An error at any of these decision points will result in an incorrect PARs recommendation.

Emergency Action Level (EAL):
Other conditions exist which in the judgment of the Emergency Director indicate that events are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public or HOSTILE ACTION that results in intentional damage or malicious acts, (1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of or, (2) that prevent effective access to equipment needed for the protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to result in exposure levels which exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels beyond the site boundary.
HA7 Other conditions exist which in the 1 2 3 4 5 D judgment of the Emergency Director warrant declaration of an ALERT.
Emergency Action Level (EAL):
Other conditions exist which, in the judgment of the Emergency Director, indicate that events are in progress or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant or a security event that involves probable life threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of HOSTILE ACTION. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels.
