The operators are in the process of deliberately lowering RPV water level.

Given:

• RX Power 10%.

• RPV Pressure 900 psig and stable being controlled with SRVs.

• RPV Level (-49) inches and slowly lowering.

• Suppression Pool Level 79 inches and rising.

• Suppression Pool Temp 160°F and slowly rising @ < 1°F/10 minutes.

• Drywell Pressure 2.7 psig and lowering.

• SLC is Injecting.

• SLC Tank Level is 1400 gallons and lowering.

• Control Rod insertion in progress.

A. Enter EOP-202 and Emergency Depressurize.

B. Stop lowering RPV level lAW EOP-101A and begin a cool down EOP-101.

C. Continue lowering RPV level until (-50") is reached. Then begin a cool down lAW EOP-101A.

D. Stop lowering RPV level when reactor power < 4% and continue with SLC injection lAW EOP-1 01 A. A cool down is NOT permitted at this time.

Proposed Answer: D

Explanation (Optional):

A. Incorrect - No criteria is met for ED (the HCTL limit at this RPV Pressure is about 190°F suppression pool temperature)

B. Incorrect - a cool down cannot begin until Cold shutdown boron weight has been injected or all rods (except one) are full in.

C. Incorrect - with reactor power below 4%, EOPs direct that lowering of level be stopped D. Correct - lAW EOP-101A step LP-14 the lowering of level must be terminated when reactor power is < 4%. With the reactor not shutdown, SLC injection must continue.

Ability to determine and/or interpret the following as they apply to HIGH OFF-SITE RELEASE RATE:

Radiation levels: Plant-Specific Proposed Question: SRO Question # 2 Given:

• The Unit was operating at 80% power.

• A Main Steam line rupture occurred in the turbine building.

• A Group I Primary Containment Isolation signal was received on High Main Steam Line Flow.

• The MSIV's failed to completely isolate the leak.

• The reactor automatically scrammed.

• Reactor level dropped to -45 inches, and level was restored to +30 inches with HPCI & RCIC.

• Personnel reported a large steam plume in the turbine building upstream of the turbine stop valves

• The reactor has been depressurizing through the steam line rupture for the last 75 minutes.

Current conditions (75 minutes after the event began):

• Reactor pressure is 200 psig and dropping slowly.

• The steam line leak is still in progress.

• Reactor level is +30 inches with condensate injecting for level control.

• HPCI & RCIC have been secured to slow the depressurization rate, and both systems were realigned for automatic operations.

• Radiation Protection has just provided a Dose Assessment projection based on Plant effluent sample analysis:

• 3.4E-01 mRem TEDE 4-day dose at the MEA

• 1.6E-01 mRem Thyroid-CDE Which one of the following describes the HIGHEST event classification and the EOP(s) that were or are required to be entered to mitigate the event?

A General Emergency. EOP-101 & EOP-103/4.

B. Site Area Emergency. EOP-01 01 ONLY.

C. Alert. EOP-101 ONLY.

D. Unusual Event. EOP-101 & EOP-103/4.

Proposed Answer: B Explanation (Optional):

A. Incorrect - The threshold was not reached for GE classification, and EOP-104 entry was not required.

B. Correct: SAE declaration required due to a Main Steam Line break outside containment with a failure of the MSIV's to isolate leak with a downstream pathway to the environment. ECG Section 3 Barriers Table, 3.2.3.b 4 points and 3.3.4.a 2 points 6 point SAE. EOP-0101 was required to be entered on low reactor level; however, EOP-0104 entry was/is NOT required since the dose projection has only reached the Unusual Event level based on TEDE. EOP-0104 entry is required when there is a gaseous radioactive release at the ALERT threshold. The SAE declaration was based on the loss of the RCS and containment barriers NOT the radioactive release, so EOP-104 entry was/is not required.

C. Incorrect: SAE threshold was reached.

D. Incorrect: SAE threshold was reached & EOP-104 entry was not required. Only would get an Unusual Event from ECG 6.1.1.a Technical Reference(s): ECG, EOP-101, EOP-103/4 (Attach if not previously provided)

Adequate core cooling Proposed Question: SRO Question # 3 Given:

• A large break LOCA is in progress.

• All control rods are fully inserted.

• All EOP Table 1 Preferred Injection Systems sources are unavailable.

• All EOP Table 2 Injection Systems sources are unavailable.

• Reactor level is (-11 Off) and lowering at 10"/minute.

• Reactor pressure is 900 psig and lowering at 40 psig/minute.

• SLC pumps cannot be started.

• Condensate Transfer is unavailable.

• Operators have just began to perform OP-EO.ZZ-310, "Alternate Injection Using Fire Water",

and a pump will be aligned for injection in a minimum of 60 minutes.

Which of the following actions are required to maintain adequate core cooling?

Inhibit ADS when level drops to (-129") and _ _.

A. Immediately enter EOP-202, Emergency Depressurization, and open 5 ADS valves.

B. When RPV level drops to (-185"), enter EOP-202, Emergency Depressurization, and open 5 ADS valves.

C. When RPV level drops to (-200"), enter EOP-202, Emergency Depressurization and open 5 ADS valves.

D. Enter EOP-101 Steam Cooling leg, when "Alternate Injection Using Fire Water", (when injection takes place) fails to restore and maintain RPV level> (-200").

Proposed Answer: C

Explanation (Optional):

A Incorrect - with no EOP Table 1 and 2 injection sources available, EOP-101 action requires entry to the steam cooling leg and when level reaches -200 inches, then an ED is performed B. Incorrect - An emergency blowdown is allowed by EOP-1 01 before -185 inches is reached if sufficient injection sources are available to restore level above -129 inches or restore and maintain it above -185 inches following the blowdown. In the scenario given, there is zero injection available.

C. Correct - With zero injection, EOP-101 directs that the operators wait until the Minimum Zero Injection Water Level is reached (MZIRWL, - 200 inches). This allows steam cooling to be used for as long as possible before an emergency depressurization is performed. Once MZIRWL is reached, then adequate core cooling is not assured and an emergency depressurization is required even without an injection source available.

D. Incorrect - In the Steam Cooling leg, at -200 inches, an ED is required regardless if level is recovering, Technical Reference(s}: EOP-101, Steps AUC-19 and SC-3 (Attach if not previously provided)

EOP-101 ,ALC-2 thru Proposed References to be provided to applicants during examination:

Proposed Answer: D

Explanation (Optional):

A Incorrect An IV or CV is required, NOT a documented peer check.

B. Incorrect The second NEO is no longer independent.

C. Incorrect - A CV cannot be led and must independently identify the component.

D. Correct -lAW HU-AA-101 4.3, Independent Verification (IV) or Concurrent Verification (CV) shall be performed for safety related equipment when returning these systems to their final configuration prior to considering them operable. The definition of IV states " ... a second qualified individual who has not witnessed the activity that established the desired condition performs the Independent Verification." Since the second NEO observed the restoration, he cannot perform an IV. Step 4.3.3.3.2 for Concurrent Verification states "The performer and verifier independently identify the component. .. " Since the first NEO led the second NEO, the independent identification of the component had been compromised.
