Move the fuel transfer cart to the containment and close the transfer tube gate valve. D. Fuel elements in the Spent Fuel Pit Region 1 racks will be uncovered.

Move the fuel transfer cart to the Spent Fuel Pit and close the transfer tube gate valve. Page 141 TURKEY POINT NRC EXAM -03/12/09 Q #72 An operator's cumulative documented dose for the year is 0.50 rem. During a subsequent emergency response, the operator:

  • performed actions that decreased the severity of the event and
  • received an additional total dose (TEDE) of 4.75 rem. Which ONE of the following identifies how this event affects the operator?

A. The operator did NOT exceed either the yearly limit for occupational workers or the emergency worker exposure limit. The operator may receive more occupational dose this year. B. The operator exceeded the yearly limit for occupational workers but did NOT exceed the emergency worker exposure limit. The operator may NOT receive more occupational dose this year. c. The operator did NOT exceed the yearly limit for occupational workers but did exceed the emergency worker exposure limit. The operator may receive more occupational dose this year. D. The operator exceeded both the yearly limit for occupational workers and the emergency worker exposure limit. The operator may NOT receive more occupational dose this year. Page 143 TURKEY POINT NRC EXAM -03/12/09 Q#73 Operators have completed aligning Unit 3 for hot leg recirculation in accordance with 3-EOP-ES-1.4, "Transfer to Hot Leg Recirculation."

  • Plant conditions are stable.
  • The RO has relieved the STA in monitoring Critical Safety Functions (CSFs).
  • All CSF paths are green except for a yellow path on Inventory.

Based on these conditions, which ONE of the following describes the direction given in 3-EOP-F-0, "Critical Safety Function Status Trees" regarding CSFs monitoring?

The RO: A. is required to continuously monitor the CSFs. B. is required to monitor the CSFs every 10 to 20 minutes. C. may discontinue monitoring the CSFs after one pass through 3-EOP-F-0.

D. is no longer required to monitor the CSFs under these conditions.

Page 145 TURKEY POINT NRC EXAM -03/12/09 Q#74 Operators are performing 3-EOP-ES-1.3,"Transfer to Cold Leg Recirculation."

  • The Containment Recirculation Sump MOVs are being opened.
  • The Shift Technical Advisor reports a Red Path on Core Cooling. Which ONE of the following describes the correct operator response and the reason? A. Transition to 3-EOP-FR-C.1

,"Response to Inadequate Core Cooling." The core cooling Red Path FRP has priority and occurred because the actions of 3-EOP-ES-1.3 were not implemented in a timely manner B. Transition to 3-EOP-FR-C.1, "Response to Inadequate Core Cooling." The core cooling Red Path FRP has priority and will provide corrective actions that will mitigate the inadequate core cooling condition.

C. Continue to implement 3-EOP-ES-1.3.

3-EOP-ES-1.3 actions must be completed through step 34 before implementing any FRPs because 3-EOP-ES-1.3 steps relate to the maintenance of core cooling. D. Continue to implement 3-EOP-ES-1.3.

3-EOP-ES-1.3 actions must be completed through step 34 before implementing any FRPs, except 3-EOP-FR-S.1, "Response to Nuclear Power Generation/ATWS" because 3-EOP-ES-1.3 steps relate to the maintenance of core cooling.

Which ONE of the following describes the required action by the Communicator in accordance with O-EPIP-20134, "Off Site Notifications and Protective Action Recommendations" . The Communicator is required to A. communicate the information to Monroe County during the next hourly update or if the initial classification is going to be escalated or down graded. B. follow up with the state to ensure that Monroe County has the information or contact Monroe County directly to convey the message. C. delay the notification to the State Warning Point and Miami-Dade County until Monroe County is present to receive the message. D. contact the NRCOC to ensure Monroe County is notified.
