4. Which ONE of the following describes the basis for the reason that the Core Spray

System is NOT on the list of preferred systems for low pressure injection for level

restoration if all control rods are NOT inserted during EOI execution?

pressure transient caused a small-break LOCA to occur inside the Drywell.

Which ONE of the following describes the basis for actions with respect to 12 psig

Suppression Chamber Pre'ssure?

A.

Drywell sprays must be initiated prior to this pressure to prevent opening the

Suppression Chamber to Reactor Building vacuum breakers and de-inerting the

containment.

B.

Drywell sprays must be initiated above this pressure because almost all of the

nitrogen and other non-condensible gases in the drywell have been transferred to

the torus and chugging is possible.

C.

Above this pressure indicates that almost all of the nitrogen and other

non-condensible gases in the torus have been transferred to the drywell air space

and Suppression Chamber Sprays will be ineffective.

D.

Above this pressure indicates that almost all of the nitrogen and other

non-condensible gases in the drywell have been transferred to the torus so

initiating Drywell Sprays may result in containment failure.
