QUESTIONS REPORT for RO Written Exam Questions A.Incorrect, the level transmitter
failing low would result in automatic makeup to the VCT and cause the VCT pressure to rise causing an increase in NPSH to the CCP.Plausible because the candidate may not realize that the failure cause the auto make-up and how that would affect VCT pressure.Condition 2 is correct in that letdown would isolate lowering level in the VCT.B.Correct, the level transmitter
failing high would result in the divert valve opening cause the VCT pressure to drop causing an decrease in NPSH to the CCP.Loss of air to the Charging Flow Control valve will cause the valve to fail open thus raising charging flow and increasing
the head loss through the piping due to higher velocity, thus lowering NPSH.C.Incorrect, raising the setpoint on the letdown heat exchanger TCV would cause the temperature
in the VCT to rise while the VCTpressureremained
unchanged, thus decreasing
the NPSH to the CCPs.Loss of air to the Letdown Divert to HUT LCV causes the valve to fail in the VCT position therefore not affecting VCT level or NPSH to the CCPs.Plausible because the candidate could get confused on which way the changes effect letdown or not know which way the valve fails on loss of air.D.Incorrect, lowering the setpoint on the letdown heat exchanger TCV would cause the VCT temperature
to drop, thus raising the NPSH to the charging pumps.However, Loss of air to the Mixed Bed High Temp Bypass will cause the valve to fail in the bypass position and have no effect on VCT level or NPSH to the charging pump.Plausible because the candidate could get confused on which way the change of the setpoint effects letdown or the effect of the failure of the Mixed Bed High Temp Bypass valve.Tuesday, February 05, 2008 1:56:10 PM 12

QUESTIONS REPORT for RO Written Exam Questions A.Incorrect, with the RCS pressure and temperature
given at saturation, a steam bubble would be formed in the reactor head if RCS pressure were lowered.This would cause the water level in the vessel to drop instead of rise as stated in the distractor
and the pressurizer
level to rise at a faster rate due to the expansion of the steam void forcing water into the pressurizer.
Plausible if student does not recognize saturated conditions
in RCS and effect of bubble growth on Pressurizer
level.B.Incorrect, with the RCS pressure and temperature
given at saturation, a steam bubble would be formed in the reactor head if RCS pressure were lowered.This would cause the water level in the vessel to drop instead of rise as stated in the distractor.
Plausible if student does not recognize saturated conditions
in RCS and effect of bubble growth on Pressurizer
level.C.Incorrect, with the RCS pressure and temperature
given at saturation, a steam bubble would be formed in the reactor head if RCS pressure were lowered.This would cause the water level in the vessel to drop as stated in the distractor.
However the response of the pressurizer
would be to rise at a faster rate due to the expansion of the steam void forcing water into the pressurizer.
Plausible if student does recognize void formation in head and does not know effect of bubble growth on Pressurizer
level.D.Correct, with the ReS pressure and temperature
given at saturation, a steam bubble would be formed in the reactor head if RCS pressure were lowered.This would cause the water level in the vessel to drop as stated in the answer and the pressurizer

the blackout over an hour earlier, the student may think timer should already be timed out, which would result in the pump starting immediately
when the containment
pressure reached the setpoint.Verifying DIG loading prior to starting the pump is an action taken later when adding loads to a board supplied by a diesel generator but with the conditions
given the time sequencer is still loading the board.Starting the pump could cause a overload on the diesel generator if another pump auto started at the same time as the manual start.C.Incorrect, While the Containment
Spray Pump should not be running with the stated conditions, the reason is not because the UVX and UVY relays are preventing
the start of the pump.These relays cause the load shedding of the pump when the board voltage is lost.After the board is reenergized
these relays will allow the pump to restart when the blackout timer has timed out.The BOX and BOY relays are blocking the automatic start until the 180 second time delay elapses.The timer to start the pump is active but has not timed out.Plausible the student may know the UVX and UVY relays function during a blackout but confuse the function and purpose of the UVX and UVY relay functions during the blackout condition sequence.D.Correct, The Containment
Spray Pump should not be running with the stated conditions.
The loading sequence time to start the pump is 180 seconds and while some equipment timers start when the board voltage is restored, the spray pump timer does not start until both the voltage is restored and the containment
pressure reaches 2.81 psig.Since only 2 minutes have elapsed, the timer to start the pump is active but has not timed out.The pump should start when the timer sequence when reached.Tuesday, February 05, 2008 1:57:43 PM 67

are held constant allowing Tavg to change.B.Rods are withdrawn to maintain Tavg on program, with Boron concentration
held constant.Rod position is held constant, while Boron concentration
is lowered to maintain Tavg on program.D.A combination
of rod withdrawal
and lowering boron concentration
to maintain Tavg on program.A.Incorrect, Plausible due to temperature
change would cause MTC to change however temperature
would drop, MTC would get less negative.B.Incorrect, Plausible due to candidate could conclude that withdrawing
Rods would make MTC more negative which in reality it makes it Less Negative.However a competing affect of Tavg rising will have a negative affect on MTC.C.Correct, Reduction is boron concentration
results in more negative MTC, the Temperature
rise effect is same as in B.This additive Negative affects is the MOST negative of all choices given.D.Incorrect, Temperature
change same but Boron being reduced less than as in C, thus MTC not as negative.Tuesday, February 05,2008 1:57:45 PM 86

QUESTIONS REPORT for RO Written Exam Questions A.Incorrect, the MFPT has tripped and all stop and control valves would be closed.Plausible because the candidate could confuse the LP control valve response of the MFPT with the control valve response of the AFWP turbine.On the AFW PT, if the turbine trips, the stop valve trips closed but the control valve goes full open due to loss of oil pressure.However on the MFPT both sets of valves close.B.Correct, the MFPT has tripped and all control valves would be closed.C.Incorrect, The valve position limiter would be*at near 100%unless a runback occurred and the runback is initiated by a MFPT tripping.If the turbine unloaded, both sets of valves would be closed.Plausible because all other conditions
are correct for the unloading of the 1A MFP and the candidate could think that only the HP control valves would be closed if the turbine'unloaded but did not trip.D.Incorrect, The valve position limiter would be at near 100%unless a runback occurred and the runback is initiated by a MFPT tripping.Plausible because all other conditions

would alarm, but the Auxiliary Building Ventilation
Monitor (RE-90-1 01)would NOT alarm.B.Waste Gas Rad Monitor (RE-90-118)would alarm, and the Auxiliary Building Ventilation

Monitor (RE-90-1 01)would alarm.D.Waste Gas Rad Monitor (RE-90-118)would NOT alarm, and the Auxiliary Building Ventilation
Monitor (RE-90-1 01)NOT alarm.A.Correct, when a WGDT relief valve line goes into the WGDT release line where it passes the waste gas radiation monitor RE-90-118, the release line is routed to the shield building stack on one of the 2 units (selectable).
Since it does not path the Aux building stack radiation monitor RE-90-101 the monitor could not alarm..B.Incorrect, the flow path is not past the Aux building stack radiation monitor RE-90-101 therefore it could not detect the radiation.
Plausible because when a planned release is in progress an Aux Building Gas Treatment system fan is placed in service for dilution flow and the candidate may confuse the flow path C.Incorrect, the flow path is past the waste gas radiation monitor RE-90-118 thus it would alarm.But the flow path is not past the Aux building"stack radiation monitor RE-90-101 therefore it could not detect the radiation.
Plausible that the radiation monitor would not alarm becuase the relief line enters the release line downstream
of the valve that automatically
closes when high radiation is detected by the waste gas radiation monitor RE-90-118.
The candidate could confuse the flow path relationship
between the isolation valve, relief line, and the rad monitor and because when a planned release is in progress an Aux building Gas Treatment system fan is placed in service for dilution flow and the candidate may confuse the flow path D.Incorrect, the flow path is past the waste gas radiation monitor RE-90-118 thus it would alarm.Plausible that the radiation monitor would not alarm becuase the relief line" enters the release line downstream
of the valve that automatically
closes when high radiation is detected by the waste gas radiation monitor RE-90-118.
The candidate could confuse the flow path relationship
between the isolation valve, relief line, and the rad monitor.Since the flow path is not past the Aux building stack radiation monitor RE-90-101, it could not detect the radiation making this part of the answer correct.Tuesday, February 05, 2008 1:59:59 PM 103

QUESTIONS REPORT for RO Written Exam Questions A.Incorrect, The 1 A ERCW supply header is not the header supplying the flow for the1A 1&1 A2 CCS Heat Exchangers, the 2A header ERCW is the supply.However, because the headers are common at the pumping station, isolating the leak would cause both 1 A and 2A header pressures to increase.Plausible because the component with the leak is a Unit 1 heat exchanger and standard configuration
would be for a Unit 1 water header to supply the cooling and if so the flow would increase in the 1 A header and the candidate could correctly relate the reduction in flow when the leak is isolated to only effecting pressures in both the 1 A and 2A headers.B.Incorrect, The 1A ERCW supply header is not the header supplying the flow for the1A1&1 A2 CCS Heat Exchangers, the 2A header ERCW is the supply.Additionally, because the headers are common at the pumping station, isolating the leak would cause both 1A and 2A header pressures to increase.Plausible because the component with the leak is a Unit 1 heat exchanger and standard configuration
would be for a Unit 1 water header to supply the cooling and if so the flow would increase in the 1 A header and the candidate could relate the reduction in flow when the leak is isolated to only effecting pressure in the 1 A header and not consider the connection

At 1030 the crew is performing
ECA-1.1 Step 20 RNO to establish the minimum required ECCS flow to remove decay heat.Which ONE of the following flow rates should be established
to satisfy the intent of the ECA-1.1 Step 20 RNO?REFERENCE PROVIDED A.420 gpm B.400 gpm C.360 gpm325 gpm Tuesday, February 05,2008 2:01:14 PM 174
QUESTIONS REPORT for RO Written Exam Questions A.Incorrect.
Plausible if student uses 0950-1030 (40 Min)for time frame lookup on EGA-1.1 Gurve 9.The Basis states"the operator is then instructed
to establish the minimum EGGS flow needed to match decay heat in order to further decrease EGGS pump Flow and delay RWST depletion.
This value of 420 gpm is in the acceptableregionusing
the graph using the wrong time frame AND meets the requirement
of Minimum Flow to delay RWST depletion.
B.Incorrect.
Plausible if student uses correct time 0900-1030 (90 Min)for time frame lookup on EGA-1.1 Gurve 9.This value of 400 gpm is well into the acceptable
region of the graph, however the intent of the step is to be equal to or slightly greater than minumum flow per step 20 b, b2.The Basis states"the operator is then instructed
to establish the minimum EGGS flow needed to match decay heat in order to further decrease EGGS pump Flow and delay RWST depletion.
G.Incorrect.
Plausible if student uses 0920-1030 (70 Min)for time frame lookup on EGA-1.1 Gurve 9.The Basis states"the operator is then instructed
to establish the minimum EGGS flow needed to match decay heat in order to further decrease EGGS pump Flow and delay RWST depletion.
This value of 360 gpm is in the acceptable
region using the graph using the wrong time frame AND meets the requirement
of Minimum Flow to delay RWST depletion.
D.Gorrect.0900-1030 (90 Min)Using EGA-1.1, curve 9, the value is approximately
325 gpm.The Basis states"the operator is then instructed
to establish the minimum EGGS flow needed to match decay heat in order to further decrease EGGS pump Flow and delay RWST depletion.
This value of 325 gpm is in the acceptable
region using the graph from time of trip AND meets the requirement
of Minimum Flow to delay RWST depletion.

QUESTIONS REPORT for RO Written Exam Questions 75.W/E14 EA2.2 027 While performing
actions of FR-Z.1,"Response to High Containment
Pressure", what steps are taken to limit the peak pressure rise in containment
in the event of a Main Steam Line Break in containment?
A.Start Ice Condenser Air Handling Units.B.Dispatch personnel to open Air Return Fan breakers.C.Throttle all AFW Flow to less than 25 gpm per Steam Generator.Isolate AFW Flow to any Steam Generator depressurizing
in an uncontrolled
manner.A.Incorrect.
Plausible due to concept of starting Ice Condenser Air Handling Units may help cool containment
thus reducing containment
pressure.Step 12 directs opening of Ice Condenser AHU Breakers so option to start Ice Condenser Air Handling Units is wrong.B.Incorrect.
Plausible due to requirement
to check one containment
air return fan running.Since there is a step to open the Ice Condenser AHU Breakers the student may mistake the opening on the Ice Condenser Air Handling Unit Breakers with Containment
Air Return Fan breakers.C.Incorrect.
Plausible due to throttling
feedwater would reduce inventory going into containment
thus minimizing
steam release pressure rise in containment.
Step 10 (If all S/Gs faulted then control feed flow to greater than or equal to 25 gpm to each S/G to prevent dryout).D.Correct.Step 11 Isolates feed flow to affected S/G.This step may eliminate mass and energy releases to the containment.
