A. Incorrect - The "A" pump trips. All others start but C trips. the RHR System will not automatically realign itself for LPCI injection B. Incorrect - The "A" pump trips and does not restart. All others start but C trips C. Correct - Per SD 149, page 22 - In the event a LOCA occurs when the RHR System is in the shutdown cooling mode, the RHR System will not automatically realign itself for LPCI injection. Operator actions required to initiate the LPCI mode of RHR include resetting the Group 4 Isolation Seal-In, restoring torus suction flowpath to the RHR pumps, and manually restarting the RHR pumps that have tripped. Additionally, the SDC suction valves close on the LPCI signal (PCIS Group 4). The "C" RHR Pump breaker will receive a start signal but immediately trip. The trip occurs due to no suction path present to prevent pump damage. This is NOT a start permissive, it s a pump trip (SD-149 page 12) D. Incorrect - The "A" pump trips. The "C" RHR Pump breaker will receive a start signal but immediately trip. The trip occurs due to no suction path present to prevent pump damage. This is NOT a start permissive, it s a pump trip (SD-149 page 12). The RHR System will not automatically realign itself for LPCI injection

Proposed Answer: A
 
ILT Exam 7/12/2011  


Explanation (Optional):
Explanation (Optional):
A. Correct - Since the worth of an individual rod is highly dependent on core power distribution, rod sequence control provides a means of restricting the maximum reactivity insertion that could occur in a CRDA. The principal function of the NUMAC RWM is to limit rod motion such that high worth rods are not created, thereby limiting the maximum reactivity which could be added due to a control rod drop accident. B. Incorrect - This is not a design function, the RWM does ensure that fuel operating limits are not exceeded and that the possibility of a high notch worth scram occurring is minimized. C. Incorrect - This is not a design function, the RWM does ensure that fuel operating limits are not exceeded and that the possibility of a high notch worth scram occurring is minimized. D. Incorrect - The RWM limits the rate of heat production to < 280 calories/gram of fuel during rod DROP accident NOT a control rod withdrawal. And the power level is when reactor power is <10%.

Explanation (Optional):
Explanation (Optional):
A. Incorrect - Because of the lower density of the reference leg indicated level will be higher than actual level.
A. Incorrect - Because of the lower density of the reference leg indicated level will be higher than actual level.
B. Incorrect - With the reactor stable the temperature (~338&deg;F) is above drywell temperature so no boiling in the reference or variable legs will occur. Indicated level may be higher than actual level due to reference leg heating. C. Correct - With the reactor stable, an increase in containment temperature would cause an increase in the temperature of the reference leg. This would lower the density making the reference leg "lighter". Because level is derived by a dp cell measuring the difference in weight, the decrease in the weight of the reference leg would cause a loss of inventory from the reference legs which would result in erroneously high indications D. Incorrect - the Floodup and Wide Range Yarway instruments will be affected although they may still be used for level indication the GMAC level indicator also provide level indication.
B. Incorrect - With the reactor stable the temperature (~338&deg;F) is above drywell temperature so no boiling in the reference or variable legs will occur. Indicated level may be higher than actual level due to reference leg heating.

Explanation (Optional):
Explanation (Optional):
A. Incorrect - This will avoid repeated operation of the SRVs on high reactor pressure however the concern with SRV openings is RPV level swell. B. Incorrect - manual reset of the scram would be possible NOT ATWS ARI/RPT logic. The concern with SRV openings is RPV level swell. C. Correct - Per EOP 1 Bases - Swell resulting from SRV actuation may result in high level trips of steam driven systems even if level is maintained low in the normal band. It may then be necessary to define a wider control band to maintain level below the high level trip setpoint. Bases for RC/P-4 step " Stabilize RPV pressure Below 1055 psig" - The direction to stabilize RPV pressure in Step RC/P-4 means to limit changes in RPV pressure (both increases and decreases) to within as small a band as possible. Controlling RPV pressure below this value avoids SRVs lifting on high pressure and allows the scram logic to be reset (provided no other scram signal exists).

Explanation (Optional):
Explanation (Optional):
A. Correct - IAW SD 959 - Containment Characteristics after LOCA with Torus /Drywell Vacuum Breaker Failed Open - Steam flows from the drywell to the torus through the vacuum breaker equalizing the pressure. The steam is not forced through the downcomers and up through the water, but instead is dumped on the surface of the water in the torus. As a result, the drywell pressure will probably exceed design pressure.

A. Correct - EOP 2 Bases Step TL/6 - (1) A torus level of 5.8 feet corresponds to the HPCI turbine exhaust elevation.
A.     Correct - EOP 2 Bases Step TL/6 - (1) A torus level of 5.8 feet corresponds to the HPCI turbine exhaust elevation.
(2) Operation of the HPCI system with its exhaust device not submerged will directly pressurize the torus. HPCI operation is therefore secured when torus level cannot be maintained above 5.8 feet to preclude pressurizing the torus. The consequences of not doing so may result in failure of the primary containment from over pressurization. Thus, HPCI must be secured irrespective of adequate core cooling concerns. B. Incorrect - (1) The HPCI turbine exhaust level is 5.8 feet (correct), however (2) the discussion is the bases discussion for the 7.1 ft torus level.

The consequences of not doing so may result in failure of the primary containment from over pressurization. Thus, HPCI must be secured irrespective of adequate core cooling concerns.
C. Incorrect - (1) The RCIC turbine exhaust is at the approximate same level, but the RCIC is not tripped due to: The exhaust flowrate of RCIC is approximately equal to that of decay heat, and is thus consistent with the basis used for determining the Primary Containment Pressure Limit and Elevated Torus pressure will cause the RCIC turbine to trip before the HPCI turbine would trip.

ILT Exam 7/12/2011  


Explanation (Optional):
Explanation (Optional):
A. Incorrect - the concern is core instabilities. B. Correct - IAW EOP ATWS Bases Continuous Recheck Statement - The conditions expressed in this Continuous Recheck Statement, combined with the inability to shutdown the reactor through control rod insertion, dictate a need to promptly reduce reactor power in order to prevent or mitigate the consequences of any large irregular neutron flux oscillations induced by neutronic/thermal-hydraulic instabilities. This is accomplished by transferring to entry point 7 and lowering RPV water level to +87 inches in Step /L-2. An RPV water level of +87 inches is 2 feet below the lowest nozzle in the feedwater sparger. This places the feedwater spargers in the steam space providing effective heating of the relatively cold feedwater and eliminating the potential for high core inlet subcooling. C. Incorrect - RWCU is verified isolated, but the reason for lowering level to 87 inches is NOT based on RWCU automatic isolation at 119.5 inches D. Incorrect - RR Pumps will be verified tripped if power is above 5%, but the reason for lowering level to 87 inches is NOT based on RR Pump ATWS RPT at 119.5 inches.

Explanation (Optional):
A. Incorrect - The MSIVS and their solenoids are not a concern at this point in the EOPs. They are in all probability already closed due to a LOCA condition. B. Incorrect - Drywell Spray if not already initiated may prevent exceeding the drywell analytical withstand temperature however the EOPs require an ED in this case for that purpose C. Correct - IAW EOP-2 Bases - The EQ rating of equipment in the drywell, specifically the ADS valves and ADS solenoids, is 340 &deg;F for a significant time. Although EQ analysis indicates that the ADS valves are operable for an extended period of time at 340 &deg;F, management expectation is that operators will direct ED before 340 &deg;F to ensure that the EQ limits and the drywell analytical withstand temperature is not exceeded.

Proposed Answer: D ILT Exam 7/12/2011

Explanation (Optional):

A. Incorrect - Valves will close on Group 7 isolation B. Incorrect - Valves are powered by 1B42 (essential power)

C. Incorrect - Group 7 required to be reset on 1C31 prior to opening valves.

D. Correct - The valve solenoids for the Drywell Cooling Isolation Valves (CV) are powered by 120 VAC Instrument AC from 1Y11 and 1Y21, and are Energize-to-Close. The Motor-Operated valves for RBCCW are powered from 480 VAC 1B42.

For Group 7, the RBCCW and Well Water Isolations Seal In with the use of the Aux Relay, CR-4841X. When the Reactor Low-Low-Low Level Sensor Relays reset, the Reset pushbutton on 1C31 will need to be depressed to reset the Group 7 Isolation signal. There is an amber indicating light at 1C31 to indicate when the Isolation Signal is Locked In. When the Isolation Signal is Reset, then the Drywell Cooling solenoid valves will reopen automatically if Drywell Cooling is on, but the motor-operated valves for RBCCW will need to be reopened.

Explanation (Optional):

A. Incorrect - This is the broad range of water level requirements during an ATWS it would not apply if RPV Flooding is entered.

B. Incorrect - This is the broad range of water level requirements during an ATWS it would not apply if RPV Flooding is entered.

C. Correct - RPV flooding, is used to cool the core when RPV water level cannot be determined. The specified actions first depressurize the RPV, then control injection to establish and maintain one of the following conditions:

  • The RPV flooded to the elevation of the main steam lines. The core will then be cooled by full submergence. This condition may ultimately be achieved under either shutdown or failure-to-scram conditions.
  • RPV pressure above the Minimum Steam Cooling Pressure. The core will then be cooled by submergence or steam cooling. Since reactor power must be at least 6%-

10% to generate the amount of steam required to sustain the Minimum Steam Cooling Pressure, this condition is applicable only under ATWS conditions.

D. Incorrect - The direction of RPV/F EOP is to maintain water level at the Main Steam Lines, not the RPV head. The 150 psig is the minimum steam cooling pressure for 4 SRVs open.

A RHR Pump C RHR Pump A. Trips and restarts Starts and operates when the system on minimum flow automatically realigns to a LPCI mode B. Trips and does not Starts and operates restart on minimum flow C. Trips and does not Attempts to start and restart immediately trips D. Trips and restarts Attempts to start and when the system immediately trips automatically realigns to a LPCI mode Proposed Answer: C ILT Exam 7/12/2011

Explanation (Optional):

A. Incorrect - The "A" pump trips. All others start but C trips. the RHR System will not automatically realign itself for LPCI injection B. Incorrect - The "A" pump trips and does not restart. All others start but C trips C. Correct - Per SD 149, page 22 - In the event a LOCA occurs when the RHR System is in the shutdown cooling mode, the RHR System will not automatically realign itself for LPCI injection. Operator actions required to initiate the LPCI mode of RHR include resetting the Group 4 Isolation Seal-In, restoring torus suction flowpath to the RHR pumps, and manually restarting the RHR pumps that have tripped.

Additionally, the SDC suction valves close on the LPCI signal (PCIS Group 4). The "C" RHR Pump breaker will receive a start signal but immediately trip. The trip occurs due to no suction path present to prevent pump damage. This is NOT a start permissive, it s a pump trip (SD-149 page 12)

D. Incorrect - The "A" pump trips. The "C" RHR Pump breaker will receive a start signal but immediately trip. The trip occurs due to no suction path present to prevent pump damage. This is NOT a start permissive, it s a pump trip (SD-149 page 12). The RHR System will not automatically realign itself for LPCI injection SD 149 Rev 11 pages 12 & 22 Technical Reference(s): (Attach if not previously provided)

C. (1) Steam from the SRV will go into the Torus atmosphere (2) Install EOP Defeat 9 and vent the drywell via SBGT.

D. (1) Steam from the SRV will go into the Torus atmosphere (2). AOP 573 may be used to vent the drywell via SBGT as long as containment pressure is < 2.0 psig.

Proposed Answer: B ILT Exam 7/12/2011

Explanation (Optional):

A. Incorrect - The SRV vacuum breaker being open allows direct communication of some steam to the DW air space NOT the Torus airspace. Defeat 9, High Drywell Pressure and RPV low level defeat is not authorized in this situation.

B. Correct - The SRV vacuum breaker being open allows direct communication of some steam to the DW air space that may raise DW pressure. AOP-573 directs venting the DW if pressure rises to 1.0 to 1.5 psig by venting Drywell through SBGT.

C. Incorrect - The SRV vacuum breaker being open allows direct communication of some steam to the DW air space NOT the Torus airspace. Defeat 9, High Drywell Pressure and RPV low level defeat is not authorized in this situation.

D. Incorrect - The SRV vacuum breaker being open allows direct communication of some steam to the DW air space that may raise DW pressure. AOP-573 directs venting the DW if pressure rises to 1.0 to 1.5 psig by venting Drywell through SBGT.

  • All LCOs are met Which one of the following is a consequence of prolonged operation the Control Building Ventilation System in the PURGE mode?

The PURGE mode ...

A. bypasses the heating and cooling coils resulting in loss of Control Building temperature control.

B. isolates the outside air intake lowering Control Building pressure below atmospheric pressure.

C. ventilation flow bypasses the Cable Spreading and Battery Rooms which may result in having to declare the Batteries inoperable.

D. closes the Control Room Recirculation Damper which could result in more rapid buildup of radiological or toxic chemical concentrations.

Proposed Answer: D ILT Exam 7/12/2011

Explanation (Optional):

A. Incorrect - When HS 6107 is placed in the Fresh Air mode of operation, the Control Room Recirculation Damper DO6109 fully closes, this mode does not bypass the heating and cooling and temperature is not a concern.

B. Incorrect - Damper Operator DO6106A(B) maintains mixing plenum (supply fan suction)

.25"wg greater than outside pressure.

C. Incorrect - Placing the Control Building Ventilation system in the PURGE mode does not bypass the Cable Spreading and Battery Rooms.

D. Correct - When HS 6107 is placed in the Fresh Air mode of operation, the Control Room Recirculation Damper DO6109 fully closes. The basis for use of the fresh/auto (purge) mode is at the discretion of the OSM/CRS for comfort in the control room only. If the control building ventilation is operated in purge mode for extended periods, and a radiological or toxic chemical event were to occur, the higher intake flow rate in PURGE mode could result in more rapid buildup of radiological or toxic chemical concentrations than has been assumed in the safety analysis.

Question: RO Question # 31 Which one of the following describes the design basis function of the Rod Worth Minimizer?

It enforces A. rod withdrawal with a programmed control rod sequence to limit the power excursion to prevent rapid dispersal of the fuel in the event of a Control Rod Drop Accident (CRDA)

B. control rod sequences designed to prevent exceeding the Minimum Critical Power Ratio when Reactor power is below 21.7% Rated Thermal Power C. programmed rod movement that minimizes individual control rod worth to prevent exceeding the Maximum Extended Load Limit Analysis (MELLA) while in MODE 2 D. control rod sequences to limit the rate of heat production to < 280 calories/gram of fuel during control rod withdrawal when reactor power is > 21.7%.

Proposed Answer: A ILT Exam 7/12/2011

Explanation (Optional):

A. Correct - Since the worth of an individual rod is highly dependent on core power distribution, rod sequence control provides a means of restricting the maximum reactivity insertion that could occur in a CRDA. The principal function of the NUMAC RWM is to limit rod motion such that high worth rods are not created, thereby limiting the maximum reactivity which could be added due to a control rod drop accident.

B. Incorrect - This is not a design function, the RWM does ensure that fuel operating limits are not exceeded and that the possibility of a high notch worth scram occurring is minimized.

C. Incorrect - This is not a design function, the RWM does ensure that fuel operating limits are not exceeded and that the possibility of a high notch worth scram occurring is minimized.

D. Incorrect - The RWM limits the rate of heat production to < 280 calories/gram of fuel during rod DROP accident NOT a control rod withdrawal. And the power level is when reactor power is <10%.

B. RPV actual level may be higher than indicated level due to boiling in the RPV.

C. RPV indicated level may be higher than actual level due to reference leg heating.

D. RPV level may only be read on the Floodup and Wide Range Yarway instruments.

Proposed Answer: C ILT Exam 7/12/2011

Explanation (Optional):

A. Incorrect - Because of the lower density of the reference leg indicated level will be higher than actual level.

B. Incorrect - With the reactor stable the temperature (~338°F) is above drywell temperature so no boiling in the reference or variable legs will occur. Indicated level may be higher than actual level due to reference leg heating.

C. Correct - With the reactor stable, an increase in containment temperature would cause an increase in the temperature of the reference leg. This would lower the density making the reference leg "lighter". Because level is derived by a dp cell measuring the difference in weight, the decrease in the weight of the reference leg would cause a loss of inventory from the reference legs which would result in erroneously high indications D. Incorrect - the Floodup and Wide Range Yarway instruments will be affected although they may still be used for level indication the GMAC level indicator also provide level indication.

C. Correct - Per EOP 1 Bases - Swell resulting from SRV actuation may result in high level trips of steam driven systems even if level is maintained low in the normal band. It may then be necessary to define a wider control band to maintain level below the high level trip setpoint. Bases for RC/P-4 step Stabilize RPV pressure Below 1055 psig - The direction to stabilize RPV pressure in Step RC/P-4 means to limit changes in RPV pressure (both increases and decreases) to within as small a band as possible.

Controlling RPV pressure below this value avoids SRVs lifting on high pressure and allows the scram logic to be reset (provided no other scram signal exists).

D. Incorrect - manual reset of the scram would be possible NOT ATWS ARI/RPT logic.

Under these conditions, ___(1)___ could cause the drywell to exceed its ___(2)___ design pressure limit.

A. (1) a Torus to Drywell Vacuum Breaker failing OPEN (2) internal.

B. (1) a Torus to Drywell Vacuum Breaker failing CLOSED (2) external C. (1) a Reactor Building to Torus Vacuum Breaker failing OPEN (2) external D. (1) a Reactor Building to Torus Vacuum Breaker failing CLOSED (2) internal Proposed Answer: A ILT Exam 7/12/2011

Explanation (Optional):

A. Correct - IAW SD 959 - Containment Characteristics after LOCA with Torus /Drywell Vacuum Breaker Failed Open - Steam flows from the drywell to the torus through the vacuum breaker equalizing the pressure. The steam is not forced through the downcomers and up through the water, but instead is dumped on the surface of the water in the torus. As a result, the drywell pressure will probably exceed design pressure.

B. Incorrect - In this condition, drywell pressure could lower and cause the Torus to Drywell differential pressure to exceed 2 psid.

C. Incorrect - correct if the vacuum breaker failed closed D. Incorrect - IAW SD 959 page 25, if a reactor building to torus vacuum breaker were to be failed closed in the case of a DBA, there would be little effect. The purpose of the reactor building to torus vacuum breakers is to ensure that neither the torus nor drywell exceed their external pressure limit.

(1) What is the specific equipment issue at this elevation?

(2) What are the implications of this equipment being uncovered?

(1) The HPCI Turbine Exhaust will become uncovered (2) To ensure that steam discharged from the drywell into the torus following a primary system break will be adequately condensed. If a primary system break were to occur with torus water level below the bottom of the HPCI Turbine Exhaust, pressure suppression capability would be unavailable and torus pressure could exceed the Primary Containment Pressure Limit.

If a primary system break were to occur with torus water level below the bottom of the RCIC Turbine Exhaust, pressure suppression capability would be unavailable and torus pressure could exceed the Primary Containment Pressure Limit.

Proposed Answer: A ILT Exam 7/12/2011

Explanation (Optional):

A. Correct - EOP 2 Bases Step TL/6 - (1) A torus level of 5.8 feet corresponds to the HPCI turbine exhaust elevation.

(2) Operation of the HPCI system with its exhaust device not submerged will directly pressurize the torus. HPCI operation is therefore secured when torus level cannot be maintained above 5.8 feet to preclude pressurizing the torus. The consequences of not doing so may result in failure of the primary containment from over pressurization. Thus, HPCI must be secured irrespective of adequate core cooling concerns.

B. Incorrect - (1) The HPCI turbine exhaust level is 5.8 feet (correct), however (2) the discussion is the bases discussion for the 7.1 ft torus level.

C. Incorrect - (1) The RCIC turbine exhaust is at the approximate same level, but the RCIC is not tripped due to: The exhaust flowrate of RCIC is approximately equal to that of decay heat, and is thus consistent with the basis used for determining the Primary Containment Pressure Limit and Elevated Torus pressure will cause the RCIC turbine to trip before the HPCI turbine would trip. (Refer to the discussion of Caution 4)

D. Incorrect - (1) The RCIC turbine exhaust is at the approximate same level, but the RCIC is not tripped due to: The exhaust flowrate of RCIC is approximately equal to that of decay heat, and is thus consistent with the basis used for determining the Primary Containment Pressure Limit and Elevated Torus pressure will cause the RCIC turbine to trip before the HPCI turbine would trip.

Which of the following describes the reason for this requirement?

It is required to lower RPV Water Level to at least 87 inches to _______.

A. reduce natural circulation and limit the peak power level to below the fuel thermal limits B. uncover the feedwater spargers to reduce subcooling and limit the onset of reactor power / core flow instabilities C. isolate RWCU to prevent boron removal by the system and limit the peak power level to below the fuel thermal limits D. trip the operating Recirculation Pumps to reduce forced circulation and limit the onset of reactor power / core flow instabilities Proposed Answer: B ILT Exam 7/12/2011

Explanation (Optional):

A. Incorrect - the concern is core instabilities.

B. Correct - IAW EOP ATWS Bases Continuous Recheck Statement - The conditions expressed in this Continuous Recheck Statement, combined with the inability to shutdown the reactor through control rod insertion, dictate a need to promptly reduce reactor power in order to prevent or mitigate the consequences of any large irregular neutron flux oscillations induced by neutronic/thermal-hydraulic instabilities. This is accomplished by transferring to entry point 7 and lowering RPV water level to +87 inches in Step /L-2. An RPV water level of +87 inches is 2 feet below the lowest nozzle in the feedwater sparger. This places the feedwater spargers in the steam space providing effective heating of the relatively cold feedwater and eliminating the potential for high core inlet subcooling.

C. Incorrect - RWCU is verified isolated, but the reason for lowering level to 87 inches is NOT based on RWCU automatic isolation at 119.5 inches D. Incorrect - RR Pumps will be verified tripped if power is above 5%, but the reason for lowering level to 87 inches is NOT based on RR Pump ATWS RPT at 119.5 inches.

Question: RO Question # 55 A transient resulted in the following plant conditions:

  • RPV level is 60 inches and steady
  • RPV pressure is 800 psig and lowering slowly
  • Drywell Pressure is 1.6 psig and steady
  • Drywell Temperature is 100°F and steady
  • Torus Temperature is 102°F rising slowly The Control Room Supervisor directs the operator to maximize torus cooling. Is this allowed by current plant conditions? Why or why not?

A. Yes, since adequate core cooling has been assured, the operator may establish Torus Cooling.

B. Yes, since there is less than a 2 psig drywell pressure signal, the operator may establish Torus Cooling.

C. No, since RPV level is less than 64" and drywell pressure is less than 2 psig, Torus Cooling may NOT be established.

D. No, since RPV pressure is 800 psig and LPCI loop select has selected a loop, Torus Cooling may NOT be established.

Proposed Answer: C ILT Exam 7/12/2011

Explanation (Optional):

A. Incorrect - There is precaution on verifying adequate core cooling and with 60 in the RPV adequate core cooling is assured, however the torus cooling valves cannot be opened with less than 2 psig in the drywell and the LPCI signal still in.

B. Incorrect - The torus cooling valves cannot be opened with less than 2 psig in the drywell and the LPCI signal still in.

C. Correct - IA OI-149, Sect 5.3, pg 32, The Containment Spray and Cooling valves are interlocked closed when Drywell pressure is < 2 psig with a LPCI Initiation signal present. The LPCI signal is still present because the RPV water level is <119.5 inches.

D. Incorrect - Torus cooling could still be placed in service with these conditions IF DW pressure was >2psig.

Why is action required at this temperature?

A. At this temperature, closure of the MSIVs, if required, could not be assured because the MSIV Solenoids have reached their environmental qualification temperature limit.

B. Implementation of Drywell Spray above this temperature will NOT prevent exceeding the drywell analytical withstand temperature.

C. To provide margin to the temperature where the ADS SRVs and ADS Solenoids may not function if required to depressurize to RPV.

D. Torus to Drywell Vacuum Breakers are not designed to operate at this temperature and may not be able to function and minimize a Torus pressure spike under LOCA conditions.

Proposed Answer: C ILT Exam 7/12/2011

Explanation (Optional):

A. Incorrect - The MSIVS and their solenoids are not a concern at this point in the EOPs.

They are in all probability already closed due to a LOCA condition.

B. Incorrect - Drywell Spray if not already initiated may prevent exceeding the drywell analytical withstand temperature however the EOPs require an ED in this case for that purpose C. Correct - IAW EOP-2 Bases - The EQ rating of equipment in the drywell, specifically the ADS valves and ADS solenoids, is 340 °F for a significant time. Although EQ analysis indicates that the ADS valves are operable for an extended period of time at 340 °F, management expectation is that operators will direct ED before 340 °F to ensure that the EQ limits and the drywell analytical withstand temperature is not exceeded.

  • The A CRD pump out of service to replace the motor bearings
  • The 1A4 bus suffers a lockout trip and is de-energized Due to a loss of drywell cooling, the CRS directs a manual reactor scram.

What will be the effect on the control rods and subsequent actions?

A. Control rods will fully insert slower than normal on the scram. IPOI-5 and EOP-1 will be entered.

B. Control rods will fully insert at normal speed on the scram. IPOI-5 and EOP-1 will be entered..

C. Control rods will NOT fully insert on the scram. EOP-1 will be entered and transferred to EOP-ATWS for actions to be directed. Actions directed will be for a LOW power ATWS.
