SELD should be notified immediately  
if automatic  
voltage regulator  
is lost. Studies show that there is some risk of instability  
in the event of a fault at high side of SON 500/161 kV Intertie Transformer  
Bank plus a failure of a high side breaker to clear. Backup breakers would then take the entire 500kV bus section out of service. This double-fault  
event is not postulated  
to occur simultaneously  
with a LOCA and is therefore  
not a scenario used to determine  
nuclear offsite power adequacy.  
This is an issue related to grid reliability  
only and operating  
guidelines  
to ensure stability  
are included in this document for convenience.  
SON Units 1 and 2 must observe generation  
limits under certain grid conditions  
in order to ensure stability  
under the above double-fault  
scenario.  
Both Units are limited to a Maximum Outgoing Reactive Load of 240 Mvar. This limitation  
supports offsite power source qualification.  
Transmission

Organization's  
SON Grid Operating  
Guide directs that the Transmission

Grid stabilization

the loss of an element depends on the coordination  
of multiple changes including  
SON reactive loading. Real time information  
on the factors affecting  
grid stability  
is not available  
to SON Operators, therefore  
the Transmission  
Operator will coordinate  
the effort. The limits provided in the following

Sequoyah Nuclear Plant offsite power adequacy.  
E. The SON 161 kV normal scheduled  
voltage is 165kV, +/-1 kV. The voltage may be increased  
up to 168kV if necessary  
due to light load conditions.  
F. The 161kV switchyard  
undervoltage  
relay is set to alarm at 164KV to ensure the minimum 161 kV grid level required to maintain a minimum of 6,560 volts at the 6,900 volt shutdown boards for design basis trips. G. The 500kV bus voltage should be maintained  
at a level of 525kV. This should be done by means of the Generator  
No.1 reactive control coordinated  
with the load tap changer for the SON 500/161 kV Intertie Transformer  
Bank while adhering to the 161 kV bus voltage schedule.  
During emergencies  
or abnormal conditions, the 500kV bus voltage may be raised as coordinated  
with the power system dispatcher, but it should not exceed 535kV. H. The load tap changer (L TC)on the high side winding of the intertie transformer, 161 KVcapacitor  
banks, and reactive output of the units shall be coordinated  
to maintain the published  
voltage schedule.  
[C.3] I. If, for any reason, the voltage schedule cannot be maintained, the Southeast

shall include the time and date of the start of the inability  
to maintain the voltage schedule, an explanation  
of the problem and the time of anticipated  
return to compliance.

3.11.5 K. Step 7 directs the operator to "CHECK SI termination  
criteria." 1. If all of the criteria in Substeps a through d are met, the operator remains in the AER column and transitions  
to ES-1.1 to terminate  
SI. 2. If any of the criteria in Substeps a through d are NOT met, the operator moves to the RNO column and proceeds to Step 8. L.  
directs the operator to "GO TO E-1, Loss of Reactor or Secondary

of procedure  
E-2 with a transition  
to E-1. 2. The highlighted  
word "END" centered after the last step emphasizes  
that the action steps for E-2 are complete.  
Use of ES-O.O, Rediagnosis  
A. ES-O.O, Rediagnosis, is unique among the EOPs in that it has no specific transition  
into it. It is entered strictly based on operator judgment and is applicable  
only if SI is in progress and E-O has already been performed (diagnostic  
steps completed  
and!.!:ansition  
made to another procedure).  
ES-O.O should be used when the operator has any concern that he may not be in the right EOP based on plant conditions.  
This is most likely to happen if multiple accidents  
occur either simultaneously  
or sequentially.  
B. Once entered, ES-O.O will either transition  
the operator to ECA-2.1, E-1, E-2, or E-3, or will return him to the procedure  
and step in effect, depending  
on ,diagnostics  
done within the procedure.  
If ES-O.O determines  
that an operator should be in a certain series of procedures (e.g., E-1 or ECA-1 series), and he is, then he simply returns to the procedure  
and step in effect. If ES-O.O determines  
that an operator should be in a certain series of procedures (e.g., E-3 or ECA-3 series), and he is NOT, then he is sent to either E-1 (if he should be in E-1 or ECA-1 series) or E-3 (if he should be in E-3 or ECA-3 series) to enter the appropriate  
series at the beginning  
and work his way through the series normally from that point on.
SQN EOI EPM-4 PROGRAM USER'S GUIDE Rev. 20 MANUAL Page 65 of 97 3.11.7 Use of AOPs Within the EOP Network A. EOPs have priority over AOPs at all times, except when a reactor trip or safety injection  
has occurred in conjunction  
with an Appendix R fire N.08), Control Room abandonment(AOP-C.04), or Loss of all ERCW capability (AOP-M.01).  
B. AOP performance  
while in the EOP network is allowable  
under the following  
two circumstances:  
[C.1] 1. AOPperformance  
is directed by EOPs in effect. 2. AOP performance  
is deemed necessary  
by the SM or US to address abnormal plant conditions  
NOT directly addressed  
by the EOPs but which have a significant  
impact on the ability of the EOPs to perform their function (e;g., loss of ERCW, CCS, off-site power, vital instrument  
power board, etc.) In this case, the following  
guidelines  
should be followed:  
a. Concurrent  
performance  
of the EOPs and the AOP should enhance, NOT degrade, the performance  
of EOPs in progress .. b. Manpower reSources  
are adequate to allow performing  
the EOPs and the AOP concurrently.  
c.* The AOP should be performed  
using the single perfomer method so the procedure  
reader remains dedicated  
to the EOPs in progress, which are mitigative  
in nature. The SM may elect to deviate from this requirement  
when in ES-O.1. d. Certain AOPs may be required to be performed  
concurrently  
with the EOPs in order for the EOPs to function as intended;  
for example, loss of CCS, loss of ERCW, loss of air or vital power to equipment  
important  
to safety--any of these could have a significant  
impact on the ability of the EOPs to achieve their goals. e. Upon transition  
to ES-O.1, the SM will designate  
the mitigating  
crew responsibilities  
as appropriate, based on the events in progress.  
Normally, the procedure

( Proposed 2/6/2009 Sequoyah NRC SRO Written Exam as submitted DIS TRA CTOR ANAL YSIS: Page 32 A. CORRECT, the AOP entry was required due to the high current flow to the motor and the with the current flow greater than 608 amps, the procedure directs the RCP to be stopped. B. Incorrect, the AOP entry being required due to the high current flow to the motor is correct but with the current flow greater than 608 amps, the procedure does not require the bearing or stator temperatures to be increasing to direct the RCP to be stopped. Plausible because the high motor current is why the procedure entry was required and increasing temperatures do result in stopping the RCP with other conditions in the procedure.
pressure is lowering and nearing point at which CSF will change to yellow status, transition  
C. Incorrect, the AOP entry was not required due to low #1 sealleakoff flow as the leakoff is above the low flow alarm, and if the flow was low with the bearing and seal water temperature stable, the AOP would not require the pump be stopped unless the #1 sealleakoff flow was further reduced. Plausible because low seal leakoff flow would require the procedure to be entered and if the flow were low enough the stopping of the RCP would be required.

per SON 0-TI-CEM-030.030.0  
Before using these values, ensure a release to the environment is ongoing, (e.g., PORV). NOTE 1: These EALs are based on the assumption that an emergency release is restricted to one pathway from the plant. In all cases, the total site EAL is the limiting value. Therefore, in the case where there are multiple release paths from the plant, it is the total release EAL (obtained from ICS and/or SON 0-TI-CEM-030-030, "Manual Calculation of Plant Gas, Iodine, and Particulate Release Rates for Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) Compliance")

value is outside of the upper range for this detector.  
NOTE 2: In the case when there is no CECC dose assessment available, the length and relative magnitude of the release is the key in determining the classification.
The maximum monitor output which can be read is 1.0E+07 cpm. Releases in excess of monitor capacity should be evaluated  
For example, in the case of the NOUE EAL of 2 times the Tech Spec limit, the classification is based more on the fact that a release above the limit has continued unabated for more than 60 minutes, than on the projected offsite dose. NOTE 3: See REP Appendix B for basis information.

Liquid RadWaste ReI. Ability to determine  
and interpret  
the following as  
they apply to the Accidental  
Liquid Radwaste Release: Failure modes, their symptoms, and the causes of misleading  
indications  
on a radioactive-liquid  
monitor. Question:  
Given the following:  
* The unit is at 100% power and all equipment  
is available.  
* A planned Cask Decontamination  
Collector  
Tank Release is in progress when the following  
occurs: o Annunciator  
181-C 'WOS RELEASE LINE 0-RM-90-122  
INSTR MALF" alarms. o Annunciator  
181-A 'WOS RELEASE LINE 0-RM-90-122  
L1Q RAO HI" remains dark. Which ONE of the following  
failures would cause the above to prevent an accidental  
release, and the action required to allow the restart of the release with the radiation  
monitor out of service? A. Loss of power to the rate meter. The existing 001 package could be used to resume the release. B. Loss of power to the rate meter. The existing 001 package closed and new 001 package issued prior to resuming the release. C. Loss of signal from the detector.  
The existing 001 package could be used to resume the release. O. Loss of signal from the detector.  
The existing 001 package closed and new 001 package issued prior to resuming the release DISTRACTOR  
ANALYSIS a. Incorrect.  
The 'loss of power to the rate meter' would generate both the 181 C and 181 A alarms so the 181A alarm would also be LIT. The existing 001 package could not be used to continue the release. Plausible  
because the candidate  
may not recall the inputs to the alarms correctly  
and there are conditions  
identified  
in the release instructions  
that do allow the release to be continued  
using the current 001 package. b. Incorrect.  
The 'loss of power to the rate meter' would generate both the 181 C and 181 A alarms so the 181A alarm would also be LIT. A new 001 package would be needed to continue the release. Plausible  
because the candidate  
may not recall the inputs to the alarms  
correctly, but realize a new 001 package is required to continue the release. c. Incorrect.  
The 'loss of signal from the detector'  
would generate a 181-C alarm but would NOT generate a 181 A alarm as stated in the distractor, however the existing 001 package could not be used to continue the release. Plausible  
because the alarm status listed is correct for the listed condition  
would cause the termination  
of the release and the there are conditions  
identified  
in the release instructions  
that do allow the release to be continued  
using the current 001 package. d. CORRECT. The 'loss of signal from the detector'  
would generate a 181-C alarm but would NOT generate a 181 A alarm and a new 001 package would be required prior to continuing  
the release.

when using the graph. Also, the higher level in the tank is not the correct answer and for other circumstances  
the limiting conditions  
occur at the beginning  
of life. C. CORRECT, BA T A volume of 9200 gallons at 6775 ppm with an RWST boron concentration  
of 2575 ppm is in the acceptable  
region of TRM Figure 3.1.2.6 for BAT Tank Limits and the bases for the Technical  
Requirement  
states that the maximum expected boration capability  
requirement  
occurs at near EOL with peak Xenon conditions.  
D. Incorrect, BA T A volume of 9200 gallons at 6775 ppm with an RWST boron concentration  
of 2575 ppm is in the acceptable  
region of TRM Figure 3.1.2.6 for BAT Tank Limits, but the Beginning  
of life peak xenon is not when the maximum expected boration capability  
requirement  
occurs. Technical  
Requirement  
bases identifies  
the requirement  
to be at near EOL with peak Xenon conditions.  
Plausible  
because the combination  
of BA T volume and boron concentration  
place the tank in an acceptable  
region of the graph and other limiting conditions  
to occur at the beginning  
of life.

The components required to perform this function include 1) borated water sources, 2) charging pumps, 3) separate flow paths, 4) boric acid transfer pumps, and 5) an emergency power supply from OPERABLE diesel generators.
REQUIREMENTS  
With the RCS average temperature above 350&deg;F, a minimum of two boron injection flow paths are required to ensure single functional capability in the event an assumed failure renders one of the flow paths inoperable.
3/41-10
The boration capability of either flow path is sufficient to provide a SHUTDOWN MARGIN from expected operating conditions of 1.6% delta klk after xenon decay and cooldown to 200&deg;F. The maximum expected boration capability requirement occurs at near EOl from full power peak xenon conditions and requires borated water from a boric acid tank in accordance with Figure 3.1.2.6, and additional makeup from either: (1) the common boric acid tank and/or batching, or (2) a minimum of 26,000 gallons of 2500 ppm borated water from the refueling water storage tank. With the refueling water storage tank as the only borated water source, a minimum of 57,000 gallons of 2500 ppm borated water is required.
REACTIVITY  
The boric acid tanks, pumps, valves, and piping contairi a boric acid solution concentration of between 3.5% and 4.0% by weight. To ensure that the boric acid remains in solution, the air temperature is monitored in strategic locations.
CONTROL SYSTEMS ') BASES ) TRB 3/4.1.2 BORA TION SYSTEMS The boron injection  
By ensuring the air temperature remains at 63&deg;F or above, a 5&deg;F margin is provided to ensure the boron will not precipitate out. To provide operational flexibility, if the area temperature should fall below the required value, the solution temperature (as determined by the pipe or tank wall temperature) will be monitored at an increased frequency to compensate for the lack of solution temperature alarm in the main control room. With the ReS temperature below 350&deg;F, one injection system is acceptable without single failure consideration on the basis of the stable reactivity condition of the reactor and the additional restrictions prohibiting CORE ALTERATIONS and operations involving positive reactivity additions that could result in loss of required SDM (Modes 40r 5) or boron concentration (Mode 6) in the event the single injection system becomes inoperable.

during each mode of facility operation.  
This may result in an overall reduction in RCS boron concentration but provides acceptable margin to maintaining subcritical operation.
The components  
Introduction of temperature changes including temperature increases when operating with a positive MTC must also be evaluated to ensure they do not result in a loss of required SDM. The boron capability required below 350&deg;F, is suffiCient to provide a SHUTDOWN MARGIN of 1.6% delta klk after xenon decayand cool down from 350"F to 200&deg;, and a SHUTDOWN MARGIN of 1% delta klk after xenon decay andcooldown from 200&deg;F to 140&deg;F. This condition requires either 6400 gallons of 6120 ppm borated water from the boric acid storage tanks or 13,400 gallons of 2500 ppm borated water from the refueling water storage tank. The contained water volume limits include allowance for water not available because of discharge line location and other physical characteristics.

The 6400 gallon limit in the boric acid tank for Modes 4, 5, and 6 is based on 4,431 gallons required for shutdown margin, 1,140 gallons for the unusable volume in the heel of the tank, 800 gallons for instrument error, and an additional 29 gallons due to rounding up. The 55,000 gallon limit in the refueling water storage tank for modes 4, 5,and6 is based upon 22,182 SEQUOYAH -UNITS 1 AND 2 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS B 3/41-2 October 19, 2005 Revision Nos. 13,25,35,36 REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS ') BASES )\ ) , ') gallons that is undetectable due to lower tap location, 19,197 gallons for instrument error, 13,400 gallons required for shutdown margin, and an additional 221 gallons due to rounding up. The limits on contained water volume and boron concentration of the RWST also ensure a pH value of between 7.5 and 9.5 for the solution recirculated within containment after a LOCA. This pH band minimizes the evolution of iodine and minimizes the effect of chloride and caustic stress corrosion on mechanical systems and components.

to ensure they do not result in a loss of required SDM. The boron capability  
required below 350&deg;F, is suffiCient  
to provide a SHUTDOWN MARGIN of 1.6% delta klk after xenon decayand cool down from 350"F to 200&deg;, and a SHUTDOWN MARGIN of 1% delta klk after xenon decay andcooldown  
from 200&deg;F to 140&deg;F. This condition  
requires either 6400 gallons of 6120 ppm borated water from the boric acid storage tanks or 13,400 gallons of 2500 ppm borated water from the refueling  
water storage tank. The contained  
water volume limits include allowance  
for water not available  
because of discharge  
line location and other physical characteristics.  
The 6400 gallon limit in the boric acid tank for Modes 4, 5, and 6 is based on 4,431 gallons required for shutdown margin, 1,140 gallons for the unusable volume in the heel of the tank, 800 gallons for instrument  
error, and an additional  
29 gallons due to rounding up. The 55,000 gallon limit in the refueling

of the RWST also ensure a pH value of between 7.5 and 9.5 for the solution recirculated

steps.
S. Due to relative air pressure differences between the Containment and Auxiliary Buildings which causes excessive air flow through the transfer tube, if the Transfer Tube Wafer Valve 1,2-78-610 is open, at least one of four conditions should exist to minimize the potential spread of airborne contamination:
NPG Standard Administration of  
Reference TS 3.9.4. 1. The Containment equipment hatch stays open. This is not permitted during movement of recently irradiated fuel within containment (less than 100 hours since shutdown).
Site Technical  
: 2. A Containment airlock is breached open (both doors) (not permitted during fuel movement within the containment unless one train of ABGTS is operable and one door of each breach airlock is capable of closure).
SPP-2.2 Programs and Procedures  
: 3. The lower reactor cavity has water filled to a level above the transfer tube elevation.
Rev. 0015 Processes  
: 4. Containment ventilation purge supply/exhaust are stopped and measured differential pressure is approximately 0.25 psid or less between Computer Points P1001A to P1002A. T. The use of the 1 ton Jib Crane in Unit One Containment is limited to Modes 6 and defueled conditions.
Page 21 of 42 3.5 Minor/Editorial  
The 1 ton Jib Crane will not be used during fuel handling operations or when there is the potential for interference with other cranes operation in the vicinity.
Changes (continued)  
3.2 LIMITATIONS A. Do not allow reactor vessel head to come into contact with the refueling water. B. The fuel shall not be moved in the core unless the water visibility is adequate to allow the operator to see the top nozzle of the seated fuel assembly for core unload, and lower core plate pin holes for core reload. C. Pressurizer manway must be open with airflow unobstructed whenever reactor head is in place and S/G U-tubes drained or pressurizer level off scale low. This ensures that adequate RCS vent exists to allow gravity fill from the RWST on a SBO event without natural circulation capability.
B. Procedure  
This requirement does not apply when closing RCS in preparation for RCS vacuum refill (0-GO-13 section 5.3.4)

Incorrect, The 690 pipe chase on both units is not a Very High Radiation Area (VHRA) but a key being located in the MCR under the administrative control of the Shift Manager is correct. Plausible because VHRA do exist and the Shift Manager does have access to a key located in the MCR. B. Incorrect, The 690 pipe chase on both units is not a Very High Radiation Area (VHRA) and Rad Ops does not have not only key. Plausible because if the area had been a VHRA then only Rad Ops would have a key. C. CORRECT, The 690 pipe chase on both units is a Locked High Radiation Area (LHRA).

PROCEDURE  
Rev: 34 1&2 Page 9 of 69 3.1 PRECAUTIONS (Continued)  
S. Due to relative air pressure differences  
between the Containment  
and Auxiliary  
Buildings  
which causes excessive  
air flow through the transfer tube, if the Transfer Tube Wafer Valve 1,2-78-610  
is open, at least one of four conditions  
should exist to minimize the potential  
spread of airborne contamination:  
Reference  
TS 3.9.4. 1. The Containment  
equipment  
hatch stays open. This is not permitted  
during movement of recently irradiated  
fuel within containment (less than 100 hours since shutdown).  
2. A Containment  
airlock is breached open (both doors) (not permitted  
during fuel movement within the containment  
unless one train of ABGTS is operable and one door of each breach airlock is capable of closure).  
3. The lower reactor cavity has water filled to a level above the transfer tube elevation.  
4. Containment  
ventilation  
purge supply/exhaust  
are stopped and measured differential  
pressure is approximately  
0.25 psid or less between Computer Points P1001A to P1002A. T. The use of the 1 ton Jib Crane in Unit One Containment  
is limited to Modes 6 and defueled conditions.  
The 1 ton Jib Crane will not be used during fuel handling operations  
or when there is the potential  
for interference  
with other cranes operation  
in the vicinity.  
3.2 LIMITATIONS  
A. Do not allow reactor vessel head to come into contact with the refueling  
water. B. The fuel shall not be moved in the core unless the water visibility  
is adequate to allow the operator to see the top nozzle of the seated fuel assembly for core unload, and lower core plate pin holes for core reload. C. Pressurizer  
manway must be open with airflow unobstructed  
whenever reactor head is in place and S/G U-tubes drained or pressurizer  
level off scale low. This ensures that adequate RCS vent exists to allow gravity fill from the RWST on a SBO event without natural circulation  
capability.  
This requirement  
does not apply when closing RCS in preparation  
for RCS vacuum refill (0-GO-13 section 5.3.4)

76. 008 AG2.4.2 076 Given the following:

Unit 1 at 100% power when a pressurizer safety valve failed open. The operator manually tripped the reactor and initiated a safety injection. While performing the step to determine if the RHR spray should be placed in service in accordance with E-1, "Reactor Trip or Safety Injection", the crew determines the following: When pressurizer pressure dropped to 1280 psig, the safety valve reclosed and pressurizer pressure started to rise. Containment pressure rose to 2.6 psig, and began trending down. Pressurizer level is 100%. RCS subcooling is 43°F. -All four SG levels at 33% narrow range. Which ONE of the following identifies the correct procedure implementation and operation of the RCPs for the above conditions? A'I Transition from E-1 to ES-1.1, SI Termination; The RCPs will have remained running throughout the event. B. Transition from E-1 to ES-1.1, SI Termination; The RCPs would have been shutdown but will be restarted in ES-1.1, SI Termination. C. Continue E-1 until a transition is directed to ES-1.2, Post LOCA Cooldown; The RCPs will have remained running throughout the event. D. A transition will be made to ES-1.2, Post LOCA Cooldown; Page 1 The RCPs would have been shutdown but will be restarted in ES-1.2, Post LOCA Cooldown. Proposed 2/6/2009 Sequoyah NRC SRO Written Exam as submitted DIS TRA C TOR ANAL YSIS: Page 2 A. CORRECT, with the safety valve reclosed and the conditions as identified in the stem, SI termination criteria is met. While the crew would be beyond the step in E-1 that first checks for SI termination and beyond the followup step for checking the criteria, the SI termination step is a continous action step and if the criteria is met the transition is to be made. Subcooling is greater than he 400F setpoint, pressurizer level above the 10% setpoint, heat sink is established and RCS pressure rising meet the entry conditions for ES-1.1. Containment pressure did not rise to the automatic initiation setpoint of 2.8 psig (Phase B) nor did the RCS pressure drop to the 1250 psig setpoint, so the RCP trip criteria was not met and the pumps remained in service. B. Incorrect, With the conditions identified in the stem, the SI termination criteria is met and a transition to ES-1.1 is required. The RCP trip criteria was not met and the pumps would have remained in service throughout the even. Plausible because the transition to ES-1.1 is the correct transition and if the RCPs had been stopped they would be restarted in ES-1.1. C. Incorrect, While ES-1.2 would be entered if E-1 was continued, the conditions identified in the stem indicate SI termination criteria is met and a transition to ES-1.1 is required. The RCP trip criteria was not met and the pumps would have remained in service through out the event. Plausible because the transition to ES-1.2 would be the correct transition if the SI could not be terminated and the RCPs remaining in service through out the event is correct. D. Incorrect, While ES-1.2 would be entered if E-1 was continued, the conditions identified in the stem indicate SI termination criteria is met and a transition to ES-1. 1 is required. Because the RCP trip criteria was not met, the pumps would have remained in service through out the event. Plausible because the transition to ES-1.2 would be the correct transition if the SI could not be terminated and if the RCPs had been stopped they would be restarted in ES-1.2.

77. 009 EA2.37 077 Given the following:

-Unit 1 is operating at 100% power when a loss of offsite power occurs. -The operators subsequently initiate Safety Injection due to a small break LOCA. -Thirty minutes after the Safety Injection, the following conditions exist: -E-1, "Loss of Reactor or Secondary Coolant" is being performed. -All 4 SG pressures are approximately 1010 psig and stable. -RCS pressure is 2230 psig and stable. -Thot is approximately 575°F in all 4 loops and lowering slowly. -Core Exit TCs indicate approximately 580°F and slowly rising. -T cold is approximately 560°F in all 4 loops and stable. Based on the above indications, which ONE of the following identifies the condition of the RCS and the procedure transition that will be made? A. Natural Circulation exists and a transition will be directed to ES-O.2, Natural Circulation Cooldown as the E-1 procedure is continued. B. Natural Circulation exists and a transition will be directed to ES-1.2, Post LOCA Cooldown as the E-1 procedure is continued. C. Natural Circulation does NOT exist and a transition will be directed to ES-0.2, Natural Circulation Cooldown as the E-1 procedure is continued. Natural Circulation does NOT exist and a transition will be directed to ES-1.2, Post LOCA Cooldown as the E-1 procedure is continued. Page 4 Proposed 2/6/2009 Sequoyah NRC SRO Written Exam as submitted ( DIS TRA CTOR ANAL YSIS: Page 5 A. Incorrect, Natural Circulation does not exist. Tcold (5600F) is approximately 10 degrees higher than saturation temperature of all 4 SGs (-54ffJF). Although SG pressures are at approximately the Atmospheric dump valve pressure, they mayor may not be open. The only way to tell if natural circulation exists is by trending Tcold. The transition to ES-O.2 from E-1 is not correct. Plausible because Thot lowering and Tcold stable could exist with natural circulation and ES-0.2 is a natural circulation procedure. B. Incorrect, Natural circulation does not exist. Tcold (5600F) is approximately 10 degrees higher than saturation temperature of all 4 SGs (-54ffJF). The only way to tell if natural circulation exists is by trending Tcold. Steam dumps are unavailable due to the loss of off site power. The transition to ES-1.2 from E-1 is correct. Plausible because Thot lowering and Tcold stable could exist with natural circulation and ES-1.2 is the correct procedure. C. Incorrect, Natural circulation does not exist. Tcold (5600F) is approximately 10 degrees higher than saturation temperature of all 4 SGs (-54ffJF). The only way to tell if natural circulation exists is by trending Tcold. Steam dumps are unavailable due to the loss of offsite power. The transition to ES-0.2 from E-1 is not correct. Plausible because natural circulation does not exist (Core Exit temperatures rising) and ES-0.2 is a natural circulation procedure. D. CORRECT, Natural Circulation does not exist.

78. 011 EA2.14 078 Given the following:

Unit 1 is at 100% power. RHR Pump 1 B-8 is tagged for motor bearing maintenance. -A Safety Injection occurs due to a LOCA. RHR Pump 1 A-A trips on instantaneous overcurrent when it attempts to start. -As the crew transitions from E-1, Loss of Reactor or Secondary Coolant, to ECA-1.1, "Loss of RHR Sump Recirculation", the STA reports a RED path to FR-P.1, "Pressurized Thermal Shock". RCS pressure is currently 230 psig. RWST level is 54% and dropping. Which ONE of the following describes the required operator action? A. The transition to FR-P.1 should NOT be made due to the ECA-1.1 entry requirement. B. The transition to FR-P.1 should NOT be made until transfer to the containment sump is accomplished. C. The transition to FR-P.1 should be made but a transition back to ECA-1.1 will be directed if SI termination criteria is NOT met in FR-P.1. The transition to FR-P.1 should be made but a transition back to ECA-1.1 will be directed with no RHR pump running. Page 7 Proposed 2/6/2009 Sequoyah NRC SRO Written Exam as submitted DISTRAGTOR ANAL YSIS: Page 8 A. Incorrect, The transition to FR-P.1 is required to be made from EGA-1.1. Plausible because some other EGAs suspend the implementation of Status trees or direct the transition to FRGs not be made during the EGA performance. B. Incorrect, The transition to FR-P.1 is required to be made from EGA-1.1. Plausible because some other EGAs suspend the implementation of Status trees or direct the transition to FRGs not be made during the EGA performance until certain conditions are met and the establishment of sump recirculation is a priority for the given conditions. G. Incorrect, The transition to FR-P.1 is required to be made and the transition back to EGA-1.1 is required but not because to the status of SI termination criteria. Plausible because FR-P.1, Step 3 does direct a return to the procedure in effect prior to reaching the SI Termination check which would also direct the same transition back to the instruction in effect. D. GORREGT, The transition to FR-P.1 is required to be made and when FR-P.1 is entered, Step 3 will direct a return to the procedure in effect due to the RGS pressure being less than 300 psig along with both RHR pumps being stopped and sump recirculation capability loss.

79. 015 AA2.01 079 Given the following:

Unit 1 is at 32% power. -The following annunciator windows alarm on 1-M-6: FS-68-48A REACTOR COOLANT LOOP 3 LOW FLOW RCP BUS UNDERFREQUENCY 1 UNDERVOL TAGE RCP #3 indications are: -Ammeter -'0' amps. -Green and white lights above the handswitch are lit. Flow -'0' on all 3 indicators. -The other RCPs remain in service and the reactor trip breakers remain closed. -The OATC manually trips the reactor as directed by the SRO. Which ONE of the following identifies the condition causing the RCP trip and the earliest NRC notification required by 1 OCFR50. 72? Condition causing RCP Trip Notification Requirement A. Under voltage 1 hour Under voltage 4 hours C. Under frequency 1 hour D. Under frequency 4 hours Page 10 Proposed 2/6/2009 Sequoyah NRC SRO Written Exam as submitted DIS TRACTOR ANAL YSIS: Page 11 The RCPs have protection from undervoltage and underfrequency via relays. Both conditions can cause trips of the RCPs and if conditions and logic is met, the reactor would automatically trip. A. Incorrect, The conditions in the stem describe the trip of RCP #3 from an undervoltage condition on the 6.9 Kv Unit Board feeding the RCP, however NO automatic trip would be initiated at the stated power level (below P8) and the emergency plan would not be implemented. (No 1 hour notification would be required). Plausible because the condition causing the RCP trip is correct and if the power level had been greater than P8, an automatic reactor trip should have occurred .. If the reactor had failed to trip automatically, a 1 hour report would be required due to implementation of the Emergency Plan. B. CORRECT, The conditions in the stem describe the trip of RCP #3 from an undervoltage condition on the 6.9 Kv Unit Board feeding the RCP. With the reactor power level below P-8, no automatic reactor trip would be initiated from low flow condition in a single loop. AOP-R.04, Malfunction of Reactor Coolant Pump, would be the controlling procedure and at the stated power level, a manual reactor trip would be directed. The reactor trip would require a 4 hour notification. C. Incorrect, The conditions in the stem describe the a trip of RCP #3 from an undervoltage condition on the 6.9 Kv Unit Board feeding the RCP not an underfrequency trip. The underfrequency trip of the RCP requires 214 logic to be made in the SSPS which then will trip the reactor and all RCPs. The logic is not met in the stem even though power is above the P7 permissive (10%), only one RCPs is involved and the logic requires 2 out of 4. NO automatic trip would be initiated at the stated power level (below P8) and the emergency plan would not be implemented. (No 1 hour notification would be required). Plausible because underfrequency can cause RCP trip with conditions different than stated in the stem and following the underfrequency initiation at greater than P7, a failure of the reactor to automatically trip would require a 1 hour due to the implementation of the Emergency Plan. D. Incorrect, The conditions in the stem describe the trip of RCP #3 from an undervoltage condition on the 6.9 Kv Unit Board feeding the RCP not an underfrequency trip. The underfrequency trip of the RCP requires 214 logic to be made in the SSPS which then will trip the reactor and all RCPs. The logic is not met in the stem even though power is above the P7 permissive (10%), only one RCPs is involved and the logic requires 2 out of 4. the 4 hour notification due to the manual reactor trip is correct. Plausible because underfrequency can cause RCP trip with conditions different than stated in the stem and the 4 hour notification due to the manual reactor trip is correct.

  • A RCP may be stopped from its handswitch or at the switchgear.

The (SD page 33) breaker will trip open on a motor protection fault (unit board UV, motor overcurrent) or an underfrequency trip of either reactor protection system train.

  • In addition to providing a trip to the RCP, an UV trip signal provides an input to the reactor protection system (RPS). The purpose of the RPS trip is to provide DNB protection to the reactor by anticipating a complete loss of flow condition.
  • This reactor trip requires an undervoltage condition on two RCPs and is blocked below P-7 (10%).

LESSON BODY: J. Purpose/function of components COMPONENT PURPOSE / FUNCTION RCPUF logic
  • An UF condition on two of the four RCP buses supplying the RCPs (SDpage 34) will initiate a reactor trip and trip all four RCP breakers.

The purpose of the UF trip is to provide DNB protection to the reactor by anticipating a complete loss of flow condition in two or more loops.

  • This reactor trip requires an underfrequency condition Hz) on two RCP buses and is blocked below P-7 (10%).
  • A rapid decrease in electrical frequency can decelerate the RCPs faster than a complete loss of power. This trip, in conjunction with the rotational inertia provided by the RCP flywheel, ensures the proper flow coast-down time is maintained.

Proposed 2/6/2009 Sequoyah NRC SRO Written Exam as submitted SO. 022 AG2.1.28 080 Given the following: Unit 1 is in Mid-Loop Operation with RHR Train A in service during a refueling outage with the reactor core reloaded. SG nozzle dams are installed. SI pump 1 B-B is tagged and disassembled for impeller replacement CCP 1 A-A trips due to motor failure. RCS level begins to drop and the RHR pump 1 A-A is stopped due to cavitation. -Attempts to open 1-FCV-63-1, RHR Pump Suction from RWST, are unsuccessful. Core exit thermocouples have increased to 20SoF. Which ONE of the following identifies the procedure to be used and how SI pump IA-A will be aligned during performance of the procedure? A. AOP-R02, "Shutdown LOCA". SI pumps will be aligned for Hot Leg injection. B. AOP-R02, "Shutdown LOCA". SI pumps will be prevented from injecting due to L TOP requirements. AOP-R03, "RHR System Malfunction". SI pumps will be aligned for Hot Leg injection. D. AOP-R03, "RHR System Malfunction". SI pumps will be prevented from injecting due to L TOP requirements. Page 13 Proposed 2/6/2009 Sequoyah NRC SRO Written Exam as submitted DIS TRA CTOR ANAL YSIS: Page 14 A. Incorrect, AOP-R03 is the correct procedure to be used not AOP-R02. The AOP-R03 does direct the SI pumps to be aligned in Hot Leg injection. Plausible because the conditions in the stem would exist if a shutdown LOCA was occurring and if AOP-R02 were entered a note at the start of the AOP directs the use of AOP-R03 if the plant is in Mid-Loop operation and the SI pumps alignment in Hot Leg injection is correct. B. Incorrect, AOP-R03 is the correct procedure to be used not AOP-R02 and the AOP directs the SI pumps to be aligned in Hot Leg injection. Plausible because the conditions in the stem would exist if a shutdown LOCA was occurring and if A OP-R 02 were entered a note at the start of the A OP directs the use of A OP-R 03 if the plant is in Mid-Loop operation and the SI pumps normal alignment with injection prevented due to the L TOPS requirement. C. CORRECT, when the charging pump trips (loss of RCS makeup) the vessel level will start to decrease. When the RHR pump is stopped due to cavitation, core cooling flow is terminated, the core starts heating up and with 1-FCV-63-1 unable to be opened, the AOP -R03 directs the SI pumps to be aligned for Hot Leg Injection. A note prior to the step to align the pumps states that core cooling takes priority over the L TOPS requirements for the SI pumps. The conditions would be the same if a shutdown LOCA was occurring and if AOP-R02 was entered there is a note at the start of the A OP directing the use of A OP-R 03 if the plant is in Mid-Loop operation. D. Incorrect, AOP-R03 is the correct procedure to be used but the AOP directs the SI pumps to be aligned in Hot Leg injection. Plausible because the procedure is the correct procedure to be used and and the SI pumps normal alignment is with injection prevented due to the L TOPS requirements.

SELD should be notified immediately if automatic voltage regulator is lost. Studies show that there is some risk of instability in the event of a fault at high side of SON 500/161 kV Intertie Transformer Bank plus a failure of a high side breaker to clear. Backup breakers would then take the entire 500kV bus section out of service. This double-fault event is not postulated to occur simultaneously with a LOCA and is therefore not a scenario used to determine nuclear offsite power adequacy. This is an issue related to grid reliability only and operating guidelines to ensure stability are included in this document for convenience. SON Units 1 and 2 must observe generation limits under certain grid conditions in order to ensure stability under the above double-fault scenario. Both Units are limited to a Maximum Outgoing Reactive Load of 240 Mvar. This limitation supports offsite power source qualification. Transmission Reliability Organization's SON Grid Operating Guide directs that the Transmission Operator will notify the SON Generator Operator of any Mvar Limits recommended. Grid stabilization following the loss of an element depends on the coordination of multiple changes including SON reactive loading. Real time information on the factors affecting grid stability is not available to SON Operators, therefore the Transmission Operator will coordinate the effort. The limits provided in the following tables are for information only. ( SQN APPARATUS OPERATIONS GOI-6 Rev: 128 Page 53 of 174 SECTION F Page 3 of 9 3.1 Offsite Power Source Requirements (continued) D. The plant will coordinate and communicate with the SELD for entry into and exit out of the alternate alignment so the transmission operators will know which criteria to use in monitoring Sequoyah Nuclear Plant offsite power adequacy. E. The SON 161 kV normal scheduled voltage is 165kV, +/-1 kV. The voltage may be increased up to 168kV if necessary due to light load conditions. F. The 161kV switchyard undervoltage relay is set to alarm at 164KV to ensure the minimum 161 kV grid level required to maintain a minimum of 6,560 volts at the 6,900 volt shutdown boards for design basis trips. G. The 500kV bus voltage should be maintained at a level of 525kV. This should be done by means of the Generator No.1 reactive control coordinated with the load tap changer for the SON 500/161 kV Intertie Transformer Bank while adhering to the 161 kV bus voltage schedule. During emergencies or abnormal conditions, the 500kV bus voltage may be raised as coordinated with the power system dispatcher, but it should not exceed 535kV. H. The load tap changer (L TC)on the high side winding of the intertie transformer, 161 KVcapacitor banks, and reactive output of the units shall be coordinated to maintain the published voltage schedule. [C.3] I. If, for any reason, the voltage schedule cannot be maintained, the Southeast Area Load Dispatcher (SELD) should be notified as soon as possible to evaluate offsite power operability. This notification shall include the time and date of the start of the inability to maintain the voltage schedule, an explanation of the problem and the time of anticipated return to compliance. J. Operation of main generator without automatic voltage control could impact grid voltage requirements. The Load Dispatcher should be notified immediately if generator is in service without automatic voltage regulator. Also, refer to Section E for Mvar limits. 29 (E-1) Source Setpoint SER 2683

Unit 1 is in Mode 3 with RCS at normal operating pressure and temperature awaiting secondary plant equipment repair to continue the startup. -At 1300 on 01/25109 RCS Activity was determined to be 0.38 microcuries/gram DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131. -At 1300 on 01/27/09 Chemistry reports that the RCS Activity has been on a continuous slow increase and is now 0.43 microcuries/gram DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131. Which ONE of the following identifies actions that are required by 1900 on 01/27/09 and the bases for the RCS Specific Activity limit? A. Reduce RCS Tavg below 500°F to limit doses at the site boundary in the event of a LOCA in conjunction with 0.25La leakage from containment.

Page 22 ( Proposed 2/6/2009 Sequoyah NRC SRO Written Exam as submitted Page 23 DISTRACTOR ANAL YSIS: A. Incorrect, reducing Tavg below 500°F is correct but the bases is not due to a LOCA with assumed containment leakage. Plausible because the action stated is correct and a LOCA with leakage from containment could cause elevated doses at the site boundary. B. CORRECT, with the activity above the 0.35 microcurieslgram limit in the Tech Spec 3.4.8 for 48 continuous hours, Tavg is required to be reduced to less than 500° F within 6 hours in accordance with the Tech Spec. The TIS bases states that reducing Tavg below 500°F prevents the release of activity should a steam generator tube rupture since the saturation pressure of the primary coolant is below the lift pressure of the atmospheric steam relief valves. The limit on activity is based on the resulting 2-hour doses at the site boundary not exceeding a small fraction of the 10 CFR 100 limits following a SGTR in conjunction with an assumed steady state SG tube leak of 1 gpm. C. Incorrect, reducing Tavg below 350°F is not correct and the bases is not due to a LOCA with assumed containment leakage. Plausible because lowering Tavg to 350°F would mean changing to Mode 4 within the next 6 hours (which is a directed action in many TIS) and a LOCA with leakage from containment could cause elevated doses at the site boundary. D. Incorrect, reducing Tavg below 350°F is not correct but the bases is being to limit doses in the event of a SGTR is correct. Plausible because lowering Tavg to 3500F would mean changing to Mode 4 within the next 6 hours (which is a directed action in many TIS) and the bases is to limit doses at the site boundary during SGTR accident.

( REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES I 3/4A8 SPECIFIC ACTIVITY The limitations on the specific activity of the primary coolant ensure that the resulting 2 hour doses at the site boundary will not exceed an appropriately small fraction of Part 100 limits following a steam generator tube rupture accident in conjunction with an assumed steady state primary-ta-secondary steam generator leakage rate of 1.0 GPM. The values for the limits on specific activity represent interim limits based upon a parametric evaluation by the NRC of typical site locations. These values are conservative in that specific site parameters of the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant site, such as site boundary and meteorological conditions, were not considered in this evaluation .. The ACTION statement permitting POWER OPERATION to continue for limited time periods with the primary coolant's specific activity greater than 0.35 microcuriesigram DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131, but within the allowable limit shown on Figure 3.4-1, accommodates possible iodine spiking phenomenon which may occur following changes in THERMAL POWER Operation with specific activity levels exceeding 0.35 microcuriesigram DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131 but within the limits shown on Figure 3.4-1 should be limited to no more than 800 hours per year since the activity levels allpwed by Figure 3.4-1 increase the 2-hour thyroid dose at the site boundary by a factor of up to 20 following a postulated steam generator tube rupture. A Note permits the use of the provisioris of LCO 3.0.4.c. This allowance permits entry into the applicable MODE(S) while relying on the ACTIONS. This allowance is acceptable due to the significant conservatism incorporated into the specific. activity limit, the low probability of an event which is limiting due to exceeding this limit, and the ability to restore transient specific activity excursions while the plant remains at, or proceeds to power operations .. , ., Reducing Tavg to less than 500°F prevents the release of activity should a steam generator tube rupture since the saturation pressure of the primary coolant is below the lift pres5'ureof the atmospheric steam reliefvalves. The surveillance requirements provide adequate assurance that excessive specific activity levels in the primary coolant will be detected insufficient time to take corrective action. Information obtained on iodine spiking will be used to assess the parameters associated with spiking phenomefla. A reduction in frequency of isotopic analyses following power changes may be permissible if justified by the data obtained. SEQUOYAH -UNIT 1 .

Step 7 directs the operator to "CHECK SI termination criteria." 1. If all of the criteria in Substeps a through d are met, the operator remains in the AER column and transitions to ES-1.1 to terminate SI. 2. If any of the criteria in Substeps a through d are NOT met, the operator moves to the RNO column and proceeds to Step 8. L. directs the operator to "GO TO E-1, Loss of Reactor or Secondary Coolant." 1. This step ends performance of procedure E-2 with a transition to E-1. 2. The highlighted word "END" centered after the last step emphasizes that the action steps for E-2 are complete. Use of ES-O.O, Rediagnosis A. ES-O.O, Rediagnosis, is unique among the EOPs in that it has no specific transition into it. It is entered strictly based on operator judgment and is applicable only if SI is in progress and E-O has already been performed (diagnostic steps completed and!.!:ansition made to another procedure). ES-O.O should be used when the operator has any concern that he may not be in the right EOP based on plant conditions. This is most likely to happen if multiple accidents occur either simultaneously or sequentially. B. Once entered, ES-O.O will either transition the operator to ECA-2.1, E-1, E-2, or E-3, or will return him to the procedure and step in effect, depending on ,diagnostics done within the procedure. If ES-O.O determines that an operator should be in a certain series of procedures (e.g., E-1 or ECA-1 series), and he is, then he simply returns to the procedure and step in effect. If ES-O.O determines that an operator should be in a certain series of procedures (e.g., E-3 or ECA-3 series), and he is NOT, then he is sent to either E-1 (if he should be in E-1 or ECA-1 series) or E-3 (if he should be in E-3 or ECA-3 series) to enter the appropriate series at the beginning and work his way through the series normally from that point on.

EOPs have priority over AOPs at all times, except when a reactor trip or safety injection has occurred in conjunction with an Appendix R fire N.08), Control Room abandonment(AOP-C.04), or Loss of all ERCW capability (AOP-M.01). B. AOP performance while in the EOP network is allowable under the following two circumstances: [C.1] 1. AOPperformance is directed by EOPs in effect. 2. AOP performance is deemed necessary by the SM or US to address abnormal plant conditions NOT directly addressed by the EOPs but which have a significant impact on the ability of the EOPs to perform their function (e;g., loss of ERCW, CCS, off-site power, vital instrument power board, etc.) In this case, the following guidelines should be followed:

a. Concurrent performance of the EOPs and the AOP should enhance, NOT degrade, the performance of EOPs in progress .. b. Manpower reSources are adequate to allow performing the EOPs and the AOP concurrently.

c.* The AOP should be performed using the single perfomer method so the procedure reader remains dedicated to the EOPs in progress, which are mitigative in nature. The SM may elect to deviate from this requirement when in ES-O.1. d. Certain AOPs may be required to be performed concurrently with the EOPs in order for the EOPs to function as intended; for example, loss of CCS, loss of ERCW, loss of air or vital power to equipment important to safety--any of these could have a significant impact on the ability of the EOPs to achieve their goals. e. Upon transition to ES-O.1, the SM will designate the mitigating crew responsibilities as appropriate, based on the events in progress. Normally, the procedure reader and OATC will perform ES-O.1 while the CRO performs the AOP using the single perfomer method. -E-O SON REACTOR TRIP OR SAFETY INJECTION Rev. 30 ..

Incorrect, the level is the sump is below the 68% level required to enter FR-Z. 2, Containment Flooding but if the level was high enough for entry the transition would be required. Plausible because the containment sump level is elevated and if the required level was present an Orange would be present and require immediate transition to FR-Z.2. B. Incorrect, the level is the sump is below the 68% level required to enter FR-Z. 2, Containment Flooding but if the level was high enough for entry the transition would not be optional. Plausible because the containment sump level is elevated and if the required level being met resulted in a yellow path, the entry would be optional. C. Incorrect, the radiation in lower containment is greater than the threshold level for entering FR-Z.3, High Containment Radiation, but the challenge is a Yellow path which allows the performance of the procedure to be optional. Only Red and Orange path challenges are required to be immediately implemented. Plausible because the entry conditions are met and if the challenge had been an Orange path, immediate transition would be required. D.

6. If any ORANGE challenge is encountered, the person monitoring status trees continues monitoring until all six status trees have been evaluated.

This is necessary because a subsequent RED challenge has priority over any ORANGE challenge. If any RED is encountered, then Rule 3.10.5.0.4 applies. Otherwise, once it is determined that no RED challenges exist, then the person monitoring status trees informs the procedure reader of the highest priority ORANGE challenge.

7. RED or ORANGE challenges must be addressed immediately by implementing appropriate FRPs in order of priority and per the rules of usage. When the person monitoring status trees informs the procedure reader that a RED or ORANGE challenge exists, the procedure reader immediately suspends the ORP (or lower priority FRP) in progress and implements the appropriate FRP, as indicated at the terminus point of the CSF under challenge.
8. YELLOW challenges may be addressed by implementing appropriate FRPs if desired, but do not require immediate operator action. Addressing YELLOW challenges is optional since these are usually temporary, off-normal conditions that will be restored to normal status by actions already in progress.

In other cases, the YELLOW path might provide an early indication of a developing RED or ORANGE condition. Following FRP implementation, a YELLOW might indicate a residual normal condition. When the person monitoring status trees informs the procedure reader that a YELLOW challenge exists, the procedure reader should evaluate if the YELLOW challenge FRP should be implemented. This decision will be based on the following:

  • Whether the procedures in effect will address the challenge as a matter of course.
  • Whether the procedures in effect are more important at that time based upon available time and current plant conditions.
  • Whether the challenge is of a nature that it will likely develop into an ORANGE or RED condition if action is not taken early.

86. 003 A2.03 086 Given the following:

Unit 1 in Mode 3 with RCS at normal operating temperature and pressure. RCPs #1, #2 and #3 are running. Following the start of RCP #4, the pump stabilizes as follows: -Motor current at 625 amps. -#1 sealleakoff at 1.1 gpm. -All pump and motor temperatures stable and within limits. -The operators implement AOP-R.04, "Reactor Coolant Pump Malfunctions". Which ONE of the following identifies why AOP-R.04 entry was required and the action directed by the AOP? A'I The AOP was entered due to the high motor current and the AOP will direct removal of the RCP from service. B. The AOP was entered due to the high motor current but the AOP will NOT direct removal of the RCP unless bearing or stator temperatures are increasing. C. The AOP was entered due to the low #1 seal leakoff flow and the AOP will direct removal of the RCP from service. D. The AOP was entered due to the low #1 sealleakoff flow but the AOP will NOT direct removal of the RCP unless lower bearing or seal water temperatures are increasing. Page 31 ( Proposed 2/6/2009 Sequoyah NRC SRO Written Exam as submitted DIS TRA CTOR ANAL YSIS: Page 32 A. CORRECT, the AOP entry was required due to the high current flow to the motor and the with the current flow greater than 608 amps, the procedure directs the RCP to be stopped. B. Incorrect, the AOP entry being required due to the high current flow to the motor is correct but with the current flow greater than 608 amps, the procedure does not require the bearing or stator temperatures to be increasing to direct the RCP to be stopped. Plausible because the high motor current is why the procedure entry was required and increasing temperatures do result in stopping the RCP with other conditions in the procedure. C. Incorrect, the AOP entry was not required due to low #1 sealleakoff flow as the leakoff is above the low flow alarm, and if the flow was low with the bearing and seal water temperature stable, the AOP would not require the pump be stopped unless the #1 sealleakoff flow was further reduced. Plausible because low seal leakoff flow would require the procedure to be entered and if the flow were low enough the stopping of the RCP would be required. D. Incorrect, the AOP entry was not required due to low #1 sealleakoff flow but if the seal was less than entry conditions, rising temperature would result in stopping the RCP. Plausible because low sealleakoff flow would require the procedure to be entered and if the lower bearing or seal water temperatures were increasing, the stopping of the RCP would be required.

Unit 1 at 100% power with Containment Spray Pump 1 A-A out of service and tagged. -A LOCA results in a Reactor Trip and Safety Injection. -After transferring to the containment sump the crew observes the amps fluctuating on Containment Spray Pump 1 B-B. In response, the crew stops the pump and transitions to ECA-1.3, "Containment Sump Blockage". -The ST A reports a RED path to FR-Z.1, "High Containment Pressure". Which ONE of the following identifies the condition that results in the restart of Containment Spray Pump 1 B-B and what would be the desired flow rate? A. Due to implementing FR-Z.1 , the pump will be restarted and the desired flow rate is the DESIGN spray flow due to the challenge to the Containment Barrier. B. Due to implementing FR-Z.1 , the pump will be restarted and the desired flow rate is the MINIMUM spray flow required to control containment pressure provided it does not cause the RHR pump to cavitate. C. ECA-1.3 will restart the spray pump after TSC evaluation and the desired flow rate is the DESIGN spray flow due to the challenge to the Containment Barrier. D!" ECA-1.3 will restart the spray pump after TSC evaluation and the desired flow rate is the MINIMUM spray flow required to control containment pressure provided it does not cause the RHR pump to cavitate. Page 34 Proposed 2/6/2009 Sequoyah NRC SRO Written Exam as submitted DIS TRA CTOR ANAL YSIS: Page 35 A. Incorrect, when ECA-1.3 is entered FRGs are monitored for information only and the implementation of FRGs is suspended. Transition to FR-Z 1 will not be made and a note in the ECA Appendix E for throttling spray flow identifies the desired flow rate to be the MINIMUM to control containment pressure without causing cavitation of the RHR pump not the MAXIMUM without causing cavitation. Plausible because FR-Z 1 would restart the spray pump and with a RED path identified the Containment pressure is at or above the design pressure and a severe challenge to the barrier exists and establishing the maximum flow would cause a greater drop in containment pressure. B. Incorrect, when ECA-1.3 is entered FRGs are monitored for information only and the implementation of FRGs is suspended. Transition to FR-Z 1 will not be made. A note in the ECA Appendix E for throttling spray flow identifies the desired flow rate is the MINIMUM to control containment pressure without causing cavitation of the RHR pump. Plausible because FR-Z 1 would restart the spray pump and establishing the minimum flow to control containment pressure without causing cavitation of the RHR pump is correct for the conditions in the stem. C. Incorrect, The FRGs are monitored for information only so ECA-1.3 is continued and the ECA directs the TSC evaluation if containment pressure is greater than 9.5 psig and the pressure would be with a RED path present (12psig). A note in the ECA Appendix E for throttling spray flow identifies the desired flow rate to be the MINIMUM to control containment pressure without causing cavitation of the RHR pump not the MAXIMUM without causing cavitation. Plausible because the ECA is the procedure which restart and control the pump and with a RED path identified the Containment pressure is at or above the design pressure and a severe challenge to the barrier exists and establishing the maximum flow would cause a greater drop in containment pressure. D. CORRECT, A RED path on the Containment Status Tree occurs when the pressure is greater than 12 psig. The FRGs are monitored for information only so ECA-1.3 is continued. The ECA directs the TSC evaluation if containment pressure is greater than 9.5 psig and the pressure would be with a RED path present (12psig).

Unit 1 is operating at 100% power Diesel Generator 1 B-B is out of service and is expected to return to service in 2 hours. Subsequently, the following events occur: -A loss of offsite power occurs. -The reactor trips and the crew enters the emergency procedures. -SI is NOT actuated. -The crew transitions to FR-H.1, "Loss of Secondary Heat Sink" due to a RED Path condition and is performing the first step. No other Status Tree RED paths are present. -A fault on Shutdown Board 1A-A results in the emergency supply breaker from Diesel Generator 1A-A tripping due a differential relay. Which ONE of the following identifies the correct action to be taken and the bases for the action? A. Transition to ECA-O .0, Loss of All AC Power because the ECA will direct actions to establish heat sink with the TD-AFW pump. B. Remain in FR-H.1 unless a higher priority RED path occurs because the FR will direct actions to establish heat sink with the TD-AFW pump. Transition to ECA-O .0, Loss of All AC Power because all other procedures in the EOP network assume a minimum of at least one 6.9kV Shutdown Board is available. D. Remain in FR-H.1 and initiate actions to manually restore 6.9kV Shutdown Board 1 B-B from 2B-B 6.9kV Shutdown Board maintenance breaker because restoring heat sink is the highest priority evolution in progress. Page 40 Proposed 2/6/2009 Sequoyah NRC SRO Written Exam as submitted DIS TRA GTOR ANAL YSIS: Page 41 A. Incorrect, The transition to EGA-O.O is the correct action and the EGA will direct actions ensuring the TO AFW pump is in service but the reason is not because the EGA establishes the heat sink. Plausible because the transition is correct and EGA will direct actions to place the TO AFW pump in service and establish a heat sink. B. Incorrect, Remaining is FR-H.1 is not correct, a transition to EGA-O.O is required. Plausible because other EGAs do not take precedence over the FRGs and with a RED path there is a severe challenge to the Heat Sink function that would be addressed if the TO AFW pump were in service. G. GORREGT, The transition to EGA-O.O is the correct action and the reason is because all other procedures, including FR-H. 1, assume a minimum of at least one train of shutdown power is available. O. Incorrect, Remaining is FR-H.1 is not correct, a transition to EGA-O.O is required. Plausible because power could be restored to the 1 B-B board using the maintenance breaker and restoring Heat Sink is critical safety function being challenged.

Purpose: To inform the operator that this guideline should not be exited to perform any FRP in response to an identified CSF challenge. ERG Basis: The guideline has priority over all FRGs and is written to implicitly monitor and maintain critical safety functions. This priority is necessary since all FRGs are written on the premise that at least one shutdown board is energized. Knowledge: Guideline ECA .. O.O has priority over the FRGs. EOP Basis: Same.

90. 076 A2.02 090 Given the following plant conditions:

Both Units operating at 100% power. ERCW system in normal alignment. -The following annunciators are LIT on Essential Raw Cooling Water 0-XA-55-27A panel on 1-M-27: -"UNIT 1 HEADER A PRESSURE LOW". -"UNIT 2 HEADER A PRESSURE LOW". -"PUMP J-A DISCH PRESS LOW". -"PUMP Q-A DISCH PRESS LOW". -The following annunciator status on Miscellaneous 1-XA-55-15B panel on 1-M-15: -"ERCW DECK SUMP PUMP A RUNNING" is LIT. ERCW headers 1A and 2A indicating LOW flow. -The crew implements AOP-M.01, "Loss of Essential Raw Cooling Water". Which ONE of the following identifies the correct section of AOP-M.01 to be implemented for the conditions and a mitigating action directed to be taken in response to the conditions? A. Section 2.7, "Supply Header 1A/2A Failure in the Yard"; Start additional ERCW pumps to maintain pressure. B. Section 2.7, "Supply Header 1A12A Failure in the Yard"; Stop and Lockout out all A Train ERCW pumps. C. Section 2.9, "Supply Header A Failure Upstream of Strainer Inlet Valves"; Start additional ERCW pumps to maintain pressure. Section 2.9, "Supply Header A Failure Upstream of Strainer Inlet Valves"; Stop and Lockout out all A Train ERCW pumps. Page 43 Proposed 2/6/2009 Sequoyah NRC SRO Written Exam as submitted DIS TRACTOR ANAL YSIS: Page 44 A. Incorrect, All conditions match entry conditions for Section 2.7 except for sump pump running alarm and the Strainer Dp alarm being lit if the leak were downstream of the strainer. While starting additional pumps might restore pressure,the mitigating action is to stop and lock out the A Train pumps to terminate the leakage for a leak at the location identified by the stem conditions. Plausible because Section 2.7 would be the correct procedure section and the starting on additional pumps is a mitigating action during performance of Section 2. 7 for a leak downstream of the strainer. B. Incorrect, All conditions match entry conditions for Section 2.7 except for sump pump running alarm and the Strainer Dp alarm being lit if the leak were downstream of the strainer. The A Train pumps being directed to be stopped and locked out is correct for the conditions stated. Plausible because Section 2.7 would be the correct procedure section for a leak downstream of the strainer and the stopping and locking out of the pumps in correct for the leak identified in the stem. C. Incorrect, All alarms stated would be lit for a header break upstream of the Strainer. Header pressure sensors are located is located just upstream of the strainers. the sump pump running differentiates the leak upstream from a yard leak (i .e. downstream of the strainer). While starting additional pumps might restore pressure,the mitigating action is to stop and lock out the A Train pumps to terminate the leakage. Plausible because Section 2.9 is the correct procedure section and the starting on additional pumps is a mitigating action for a leak downstream of the strainer (Section 2.7). D. CORRECT, All alarms stated would be lit for a header break upstream of the Strainer. Header pressure sensors are located is located just upstream of the strainers. the sump pump running differentiates the leak upstream from a yard leak (i .e. downstream of the strainer). Mitigating action in the AOP section is to stop and lock out all A Train pumps.

  • Airbome Dose Assessment per SON EPIP-13 "Dose Assessment"
  • ODCM Liquid Release Rate assessment per SON 0-TI-CEM-030.030.0
  • Integrated Airborne Release Rate assessment per SON 0-TI-CEM-030.030.0 (1) The calculated value is outside of the upper range for this detector.

The maximum monitor output which can be read is 1.0E+07 cpm. Releases in excess of monitor capacity should be evaluated for proper classification by use of Dose Assessment. (2) These unit values are based on flow rates through one PORV of 890,000 Ib/hr at 1078.7 psia with 0.25% carry over (0.9975 quality). Before using these values, ensure a release to the environment is ongoing, (e.g., PORV). NOTE 1: These EALs are based on the assumption that an emergency release is restricted to one pathway from the plant. In all cases, the total site EAL is the limiting value. Therefore, in the case where there are multiple release paths from the plant, it is the total release EAL (obtained from ICS and/or SON 0-TI-CEM-030-030, "Manual Calculation of Plant Gas, Iodine, and Particulate Release Rates for Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) Compliance") that will determine whether an emergency classification is warranted. NOTE 2: In the case when there is no CECC dose assessment available, the length and relative magnitude of the release is the key in determining the classification. For example, in the case of the NOUE EAL of 2 times the Tech Spec limit, the classification is based more on the fact that a release above the limit has continued unabated for more than 60 minutes, than on the projected offsite dose.

CORRECT, the release would be automatically terminated due to an instrument malfunction and a new package would be required to make any additional releases from the tank. B. Incorrect, the release would be automatically terminated due to an instrument malfunction but the current SI package would not be used to make any additional releases from the tank, a new package would be required. Plausible because the release would be automatically terminated and releases can be stopped and restarted using the same package under other conditions. C. Incorrect, the release would not require manual actions to terminate, it would be automatically terminated due to an instrument malfunction. A new SI package would be required to make any additional releases from the tank. Plausible because some release point radiation monitor instrument malfunctions only alarm and ta new SI isrequiredd for any addition release from the tank. D. Incorrect, the release would not require manual actions to terminate, it would be automatically terminated due to an instrument malfunction. The current SI package would not be used to make any additional releases from the tank, a new package would be required. Plausible because some release point radiation monitor instrument malfunctions only alarm and releases can be stopped and restarted using the same package under other conditions.

Ability to determine and interpret the following as they apply to the Accidental Liquid Radwaste Release: Failure modes, their symptoms, and the causes of misleading indications on a radioactive-liquid monitor. Question: Given the following:

  • The unit is at 100% power and all equipment is available.
  • A planned Cask Decontamination Collector Tank Release is in progress when the following occurs: o Annunciator 181-C 'WOS RELEASE LINE 0-RM-90-122 INSTR MALF" alarms. o Annunciator 181-A 'WOS RELEASE LINE 0-RM-90-122 L1Q RAO HI" remains dark. Which ONE of the following failures would cause the above to prevent an accidental release, and the action required to allow the restart of the release with the radiation monitor out of service? A. Loss of power to the rate meter. The existing 001 package could be used to resume the release. B. Loss of power to the rate meter. The existing 001 package closed and new 001 package issued prior to resuming the release. C. Loss of signal from the detector.

The existing 001 package could be used to resume the release. O. Loss of signal from the detector. The existing 001 package closed and new 001 package issued prior to resuming the release DISTRACTOR ANALYSIS a. Incorrect. The 'loss of power to the rate meter' would generate both the 181 C and 181 A alarms so the 181A alarm would also be LIT. The existing 001 package could not be used to continue the release. Plausible because the candidate may not recall the inputs to the alarms correctly and there are conditions identified in the release instructions that do allow the release to be continued using the current 001 package. b. Incorrect. The 'loss of power to the rate meter' would generate both the 181 C and 181 A alarms so the 181A alarm would also be LIT. A new 001 package would be needed to continue the release. Plausible because the candidate may not recall the inputs to the alarms correctly, but realize a new 001 package is required to continue the release. c. Incorrect. The 'loss of signal from the detector' would generate a 181-C alarm but would NOT generate a 181 A alarm as stated in the distractor, however the existing 001 package could not be used to continue the release. Plausible because the alarm status listed is correct for the listed condition would cause the termination of the release and the there are conditions identified in the release instructions that do allow the release to be continued using the current 001 package. d. CORRECT. The 'loss of signal from the detector' would generate a 181-C alarm but would NOT generate a 181 A alarm and a new 001 package would be required prior to continuing the release. 7 I I I J B I I LJ 9 I LJ DESCRIPTION SELECTOR SW GAS A GAS COMMON TO ANAL INC VLV ALL TANKS GAS B GAS r-------, ANAL INC VLV I I GAS C GAS I I ANAL INC \lLV 10 TVA NO WEST NO 10368 HB 10.378 PCV-77-11.3S 10388 CONTROL RELAY GOX!"

Unit 2 in MODE 6 with the core off-load in progress An internal electrical failure causes the output of Spent Fuel Pit area radiation monitor 0-RM-90-103 to fail above the HI RAD setpoint. Which ONE of the following identifies how the Auxiliary Building Isolation (ABI) is affected by the failure and whether the actuation is required to be reported to the NRC in accordance with SPP-3.5, "NRC Reporting Requirements"? A. Only Train B is initiated; 8-hour notification required. Only Train B is initiated; 8-hour notification NOT required. C. Both Train A & Train B are initiated; 8-hour notification required. D. Both Train A & Train B are initiated; 8-hour notification NOT required. DISTRACTOR ANAL YSIS: Page 52 A. Incorrect, Only the Train B ABI will be initiated from the monitor but no 8-hour notification would be required because the actuation would be an invalid actuation. Plausible because the initiation of Train B only is correct and ESF actuations are normally reportable. B. CORRECT, Only the Train B ABI will be initiated from the monitor and actuation would be an invalid actuation, thus,no 8-hour notification would be required. C. Incorrect, Both'trains will not be initiated, only the Train B will initiate and no 8-hour notification would be required because the actuation would be an invalid actuation. Plausible because other actuations do come from multiple sensors through isolation/separation relays and ESF actuations are normally reportable. D. Incorrect, Both trains will not be initiated, only the Train B will initiate and no 8-hour notification would be required because the actuation would be an invalid actuation. Plausible because other actuations do come from multiple sensors through isolation/separation relays and the actuation not being reportable is correct.

With regard to preplanned actuations, operation of a system as part of a planned test or operational evolution need not be reported. Preplanned actuations are those which are expected to actually occur due to preplanned activities covered by procedures. Such actuations are those for which a procedural step or other appropriate documentation indicates the specific actuation is actually expected to occur. Control room personnel are aware of the specific signal generation before its occurrence or indication in the control room. However, if during the test or evolution, the system actuates in a way that is not part of the planned evolution, that actuation should be reported. For example, if the normal reactor shutdown procedure requires that the control rods be inserted by a manual reactor scram, the reactor scram need not be reported. However, if unanticipated conditions develop during the shutdown that cause an automatic reactor scram, such a reactor scram should be reported. The fact that the safety analysis assumes that a system will actuate automatically during an event does not eliminate the need to report that actuation. Actuations that need not be reported are those initiated for reasons other than to mitigate the consequences of an event (e.g., at the discretion of the licensee as part of a planned evolution). Note that if an operator were to manually scram the reactor in anticipation of receiving an automatic reactor scram, this would be reportable just as the automatic scram would be reportable. Valid ESF-actuations are those actuations that result from "valid signals" or from intentional manual initiation, unless it is part of a preplanned test. Valid signals are those signals that are initiated in response to actual plant conditions or parameters satisfying the requirements for initiation of the safety function of the system. Note tRis definition of "'Velid" refjuires tRet the initietion signel must be en [SF signel. TRis distinction eliminetes ectuetions They do not include those which are the result of other signals from tRe elessof velid ectuetions. Invalid actuations are, by definition, those that do not meet the criteria for being valid. Thus, invalid actuations include actuations that are not the result of valid signals and are not intentional manual actuations. Except for critical scrams, invalid actuations are not reportable by telephone under § 50.72. In addition. invalid actuations are not reportable under § 50.73 in any of the following circumstances: (A) The invalid actuation occurred when the system is already properly removed from service. This means all requirements of plant procedures for removing equipment from service have been met. It includes required clearance documentation, equipment and control board tagging, and properly positioned valves and power supply breakers. (8) The invalid actuation occurred after the safety function has already been completed. An example would be RPS actuation after the control rods have already been inserted into the core. If an invalid ESF-actuation reveals a defect in the ESF-system so the system failed or would fail to perform its intended function,the event continues to be reportable under other requirements of 10 CFR 50.72 and 50.73.

The process includes gathering and analyzing information, determining findings and conclusions, including the cause(s) of a significant operational event; and the disseminating of the investigation results for NRC, industry, and public review. Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) -A complex designed and constructed for the interim storage of spent nuclear fuel and other radioactive materials associated with spent fuel storage. An ISFSI which is located on the site of another facility licensed under §Part 72 or a facility licensed under §Part 50 (e.g., an operating nuclear power plant) and which shares common utilities and services with that facility or is physically connected with that other facility may still be considered independent. Initiation of Shutdown -Physical act of reducing power or temperature to change modes. Invalid Actuation (Signal) -Signals that do not meet the criteria for being valid. Invalid actuations include instances where instrument drift, spurious signals, human error or other invalid signals that result in manual or automatic actuation of the systems listed in §50.73(a)(2)(iv)(8). Major Loss of Communication -Constitutes the loss of communication capabilities. Major Deficiency -A condition or circumstance which under normal operating conditions, an anticipated transient, or postulated design basis accident could contribute to exceeding a safety limit or cause an accident. "Major deficiency" also means a condition or circumstance which in the event of an accident due to other causes could, considering an independent single failure, result in a loss of safety function necessary to mitigate the consequences of the accident. Natural Phenomenon -Act of nature (e.g., fire, flood, tornado). News Release -Known items which may be distributed to the media (UPI, television, radio, newspaper, etc.) and those items identified to be going on TVA news tape distributed by the TVA Public Affairs Staff. Noncompliance (Failure To Comply) -A noncompliance for the purposes of this procedure means any failure to comply with the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, or with any applicable rule or regulation of the NRC relating to sUbstantial safety hazards. A noncompliance may be in operations, engineering, or construction of the facility or basic component thereof. Organization Manager -This is the most senior manager available who is in the same organization as the individual who discovered the abnormal event. The senior manager is not normally interpreted to be the plant manager or site vice president. Preplanned Sequence -Part of an approved procedure, including workplans, work request, work orders, surveillance instructions, general operating instructions and system operating instructions. Prevented The Fulfillment -Failure or possible failure of a safety system to properly complete a safety function.

Redundant Equipment -Equipment, systems, structures capable of performing the same intended function within the same Technical Specification allowable values. (In most cases, this means opposite train equipment.) Safe Shutdown -Mode 3, as defined by the Technical Specifications. Safety Function -A component or structure designed to actuate upon receiving the proper signal (ESF or RPS). Significant Operational Event -Any radiological, safeguards, or other safety-related operational event at an NRC licensed facility that poses an actual or potential hazard to the public health and safety, property, or the environment. These events or those that typically result in a §50.72 immediate notification. (See Appendix A of this procedure) A significant operational event also may be referred to as "an incident". Examples of these events include:

  • Operations that exceeded, or were not included in the design basis of the facility,
  • A major deficiency in design, construction, or operation having potential generic safety implications,
  • A significant loss of integrity of the fuel, the primary coolant boundary, or the primary containment boundary,
  • A loss of safety function or multiple failures in systems used to mitigate an actual event,
  • Significant unexpected system interactions,
  • Repetitive failures or events involving safety related equipment or deficiencies in operation,
  • Questions or concerns pertaining to licensee operational performance.

Substantial Safety Hazard -Loss of safety function to the extent that there is a major reduction in the degree of protection provided to public health and safety for any facility or activity licensed. Threat -Physical hazard (e.g., fire, severe radioactive release). Unanalyzed Condition -Plant Condition outside the bounds of the initial conditions as described in the FSAR accident analysis. Valid Actuation (Signal) -Valid actuations are those that result from "valid signals" or from intentional manual initiation. Valid signals are those that are initiated in response to actual plant conditions or parameters satisfying the requirements for initiation of the safety function of the system.

The components required to perform this function include 1) borated water sources, 2) charging pumps, 3) separate flow paths, 4) boric acid transfer pumps, and 5) an emergency power supply from OPERABLE diesel generators. With the RCS average temperature above 350°F, a minimum of two boron injection flow paths are required to ensure single functional capability in the event an assumed failure renders one of the flow paths inoperable. The boration capability of either flow path is sufficient to provide a SHUTDOWN MARGIN from expected operating conditions of 1.6% delta klk after xenon decay and cooldown to 200°F. The maximum expected boration capability requirement occurs at near EOl from full power peak xenon conditions and requires borated water from a boric acid tank in accordance with Figure 3.1.2.6, and additional makeup from either: (1) the common boric acid tank and/or batching, or (2) a minimum of 26,000 gallons of 2500 ppm borated water from the refueling water storage tank. With the refueling water storage tank as the only borated water source, a minimum of 57,000 gallons of 2500 ppm borated water is required. The boric acid tanks, pumps, valves, and piping contairi a boric acid solution concentration of between 3.5% and 4.0% by weight. To ensure that the boric acid remains in solution, the air temperature is monitored in strategic locations. By ensuring the air temperature remains at 63°F or above, a 5°F margin is provided to ensure the boron will not precipitate out. To provide operational flexibility, if the area temperature should fall below the required value, the solution temperature (as determined by the pipe or tank wall temperature) will be monitored at an increased frequency to compensate for the lack of solution temperature alarm in the main control room. With the ReS temperature below 350°F, one injection system is acceptable without single failure consideration on the basis of the stable reactivity condition of the reactor and the additional restrictions prohibiting CORE ALTERATIONS and operations involving positive reactivity additions that could result in loss of required SDM (Modes 40r 5) or boron concentration (Mode 6) in the event the single injection system becomes inoperable. Suspending positive reactivity additions that could result in failure to meet minimum SDM or boron concentration limit is required to assure continued safe operation. Introduction of coolant inventory must be from sources that haVe a boron concentration greater than or equal to that required in the RCS for minimum SDM or refueling boron concentration. This may result in an overall reduction in RCS boron concentration but provides acceptable margin to maintaining subcritical operation. Introduction of temperature changes including temperature increases when operating with a positive MTC must also be evaluated to ensure they do not result in a loss of required SDM. The boron capability required below 350°F, is suffiCient to provide a SHUTDOWN MARGIN of 1.6% delta klk after xenon decayand cool down from 350"F to 200°, and a SHUTDOWN MARGIN of 1% delta klk after xenon decay andcooldown from 200°F to 140°F. This condition requires either 6400 gallons of 6120 ppm borated water from the boric acid storage tanks or 13,400 gallons of 2500 ppm borated water from the refueling water storage tank. The contained water volume limits include allowance for water not available because of discharge line location and other physical characteristics. The 6400 gallon limit in the boric acid tank for Modes 4, 5, and 6 is based on 4,431 gallons required for shutdown margin, 1,140 gallons for the unusable volume in the heel of the tank, 800 gallons for instrument error, and an additional 29 gallons due to rounding up. The 55,000 gallon limit in the refueling water storage tank for modes 4, 5,and6 is based upon 22,182 SEQUOYAH -UNITS 1 AND 2 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS B 3/41-2 October 19, 2005 Revision Nos. 13,25,35,36 REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS ') BASES )\ ) , ') gallons that is undetectable due to lower tap location, 19,197 gallons for instrument error, 13,400 gallons required for shutdown margin, and an additional 221 gallons due to rounding up. The limits on contained water volume and boron concentration of the RWST also ensure a pH value of between 7.5 and 9.5 for the solution recirculated within containment after a LOCA. This pH band minimizes the evolution of iodine and minimizes the effect of chloride and caustic stress corrosion on mechanical systems and components. The OPERABILITY of one boron injection system during REFUELING ensures that this system is available for reaCtivity control while in MODE 6.

Unit 1 is in MODE 5 during a refueling outage. It is determined that 1-S0-63-1, "Cold Leg Injection Accumulators" needs an Urgent "Minor/Editorial Change" revision to support system alignment changes due to system modification. Which ONE of the following statements identifies the need for an Indepenent Qualified Reviewer (IQR) and if the Unit SRO can be the approval authority for the procedure revision? A'! An IQR is required. The Unit SRO may sign as the approval authority. B. An IQR is required. The Unit SRO may NOT sign as the approval authority. C. An IQR is NOT required. The Unit SRO may sign as the approval authority. D. An IQR is NOT required. The Unit SRO may NOT sign as the approval authority. DIS TRA CTOR ANAL YSIS: Page 60 A. CORRECT, SPP-2.2 requires an IQR review for minor editorial changes for Quality Related procedures and 1-S0-63-1 is a Quality Related procedure the SPP also provides for the SRO on the Unit being the approval authority. B. Incorrect, IQR review for minor editorial changes for Quality Related procedures is required and SPP-2.2 allows for the SRO on the Unit being the approval authority. Plausible because the IQR review is required for minor/editorial changes to quality related procedures and the SRO on the unit is not the approval authority for normal procedure revisions. C. Incorrect, SPP-2.2 requires IQR review for minor editorial changes for Quality Related procedures and allows for the SRO on the Unit being the approval authority. Plausible because the IQR review is not required for minor/editorial changes to non-quality related procedures and the SPP allows for the SRO on the unit being the approval authority. D. Incorrect, IQR review for minor editorial changes for Quality Related procedures is required and allows for the SRO on the Unit being the approval authority. Plausible because the IQR review is not required for minor/editorial changes to non-quality related procedures and the SRO of the unit is not the approval authority for normal procedure revisions.

Due to relative air pressure differences between the Containment and Auxiliary Buildings which causes excessive air flow through the transfer tube, if the Transfer Tube Wafer Valve 1,2-78-610 is open, at least one of four conditions should exist to minimize the potential spread of airborne contamination: Reference TS 3.9.4. 1. The Containment equipment hatch stays open. This is not permitted during movement of recently irradiated fuel within containment (less than 100 hours since shutdown).

2. A Containment airlock is breached open (both doors) (not permitted during fuel movement within the containment unless one train of ABGTS is operable and one door of each breach airlock is capable of closure).
3. The lower reactor cavity has water filled to a level above the transfer tube elevation.
4. Containment ventilation purge supply/exhaust are stopped and measured differential pressure is approximately 0.25 psid or less between Computer Points P1001A to P1002A. T. The use of the 1 ton Jib Crane in Unit One Containment is limited to Modes 6 and defueled conditions.

The 1 ton Jib Crane will not be used during fuel handling operations or when there is the potential for interference with other cranes operation in the vicinity. 3.2 LIMITATIONS A. Do not allow reactor vessel head to come into contact with the refueling water. B. The fuel shall not be moved in the core unless the water visibility is adequate to allow the operator to see the top nozzle of the seated fuel assembly for core unload, and lower core plate pin holes for core reload. C. Pressurizer manway must be open with airflow unobstructed whenever reactor head is in place and S/G U-tubes drained or pressurizer level off scale low. This ensures that adequate RCS vent exists to allow gravity fill from the RWST on a SBO event without natural circulation capability. This requirement does not apply when closing RCS in preparation for RCS vacuum refill (0-GO-13 section 5.3.4) REFUELING OPERA nONS ) 3/4.9.4 CONTAINMENT BUILDING PENETRATION? LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION 3.9.4 The containment building penetrations shall be in the following status: a. The equipment door closed and held inpJace by a minimum of four bolts, b. A minimum of one door in each airlock is closed, and both doors of both containment personnel airlocks may be open if: 1. One personnel airlock door in each airlock is capable of closure, and 2. One train of the Auxiliary Building Gas Treatment System is OPERABLE in accordance with Technical Specification 3.9.12, and c. Each penetration* providing direct access from the containment atmosphere to the outside atmosphere shall be either: 1. Closed by an isolation valve, blind flange, manual valve, or equivalent, or 2. Be capable of being closed by an OPERABLE automatic Containment Ventilation isolation valve. APPLlCABIL TY: 3.9.4.a. Containment Building Equipment Door -During movement of recently irradiated fuel within the containment 3.9.4.b. and c. Containment Building Airlock Doors and Penetrations -During movement of irradiated fuel within the containment ACTION: n 1. With the requirements of the above specification not satisfied for the containment building equipment door, immediately suspend all operations involving movement of recently irradiated fuel in the containment building. The provisions of Specification 3.0.3 are not applicable.

2. With the requirements of the above specification not satisfied for containment airlock doors or penetrations, immediately suspend all operations involving movement of irradiated fuel in the containment building.

The provisions of Specification 3.0.3 are not applicable. SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 4.9.4 Each of the above required containment building penetrations shall be determined to be either in its required condition or capable of being closed by an OPERABLE automatic Containment Ventilation isolation valve once per 7 days during movement of irradiated fuel in the containment building by:

  • a. Verifying the penetrations are in their required condition, or b. Testing the Containment Ventilation isolation valves per the applicable portions of Specification 4.6.3.2. Penetration flow path(s) providing direct access from the containment atmosphere that transverse and terminate in the Auxiliary Building Secondary Containment Enclosure may be unisolated under administrative controls.

The Unit 1 Elevation 690' pipe chase is locked in accordanceAith its normal radiological posting. Conditions require Operations to make an emergency e pipe chase. Which ONE of the following identifies how the room is the "key control" for unlocking the pipe chase? A. Very High Radiation Area; Both Rad Ops and the Shift Manager have Jio ntro I of keys to the lock. B. Very High Radiation Area; ONLY Rad Ops has a key, the Shift ¥Bnager would contact Rad Ops to open the lock. C!" Locked High Radiation Area; Both Rad Ops and the Shift have control of keys to the lock. D. LockedHigh Radiation ONLY Rad Ops has a kj!y, the Shift Manager would contact Rad Ops to open the lock. Page 62 Proposed 2/6/2009 Sequoyah NRC SRO Written Exam as submitted DISTRACTOR ANAL YSIS: Page 63 A. Incorrect, The 690 pipe chase on both units is not a Very High Radiation Area (VHRA) but a key being located in the MCR under the administrative control of the Shift Manager is correct. Plausible because VHRA do exist and the Shift Manager does have access to a key located in the MCR. B. Incorrect, The 690 pipe chase on both units is not a Very High Radiation Area (VHRA) and Rad Ops does not have not only key. Plausible because if the area had been a VHRA then only Rad Ops would have a key. C. CORRECT, The 690 pipe chase on both units is a Locked High Radiation Area (LHRA). RCI-29 identifies the area as such and designates 2 key locations. One in the Rad Ops Lab and the other in the MCR under the administrative control of the Shift Manager. D. Incorrect, The 690 pipe chase on both units is a Locked High Radiation Area (LHRA). Rad Ops is not the only location of a key. Another key is located in the MCR under the administrative control of the Shift Manager. Plausible because if the area is a locked high radiation area and for all other LHRA only Rad Ops has a key.

99. G 2.4.27099 Given the following:

Both units in service at 100% power. -The plant is operating with minimum operations staffing. -A fire develops at the ERCW pumping station. -AOP-N.01, "Plant Fires", is implemented. -The Shift Manager declares an ALERT emergency and initiates Assembly and Accountability. Fire Ops actions to extinquish the fire continue. Which ONE of the following identifies ... (1) the direction the AUOs are to be given and (2) if the Shift Manager later decides to implement AOP-N.08, "Appendix R Fire Safe Shutdown", must both units enter the AOP or can the decision to enter the AOP be made separately for each unit? A'! (1) Direct all AUOs to report to the Main Control Room. (2) Decision to enter AOP-N.08 can be made separately on each unit. B. (1) Direct all AUOs to report to the Main Control Room. (2) Decision to enter AOP-N.08 must be made on both units at the same time. C. (1) Direct 2 AUOs to report to the OSC and the rest to report to the Main Control Room. (2) Decision to enter AOP-N.08 can be made separately on each unit. D. (1) Direct 2 AUOs to report to the OSC and the rest to report to the Main Control Room. Page 67 (2) Decision to enter AOP-N.08 must be made on both units at the same time. Proposed 2/6/2009 Sequoyah NRC SRO Written Exam as submitted DIS TRA CTOR ANAL YSIS: Page 68 A. CORRECT, with the fire a the ERCW pumping station still burning and the staffing at minimum (8 AVOs), all AVOs will report to the main control room because in accordance with AOP-N.01, the requirement to assemble AVOs to assign and brief the actions of AOP-N.08 take priority over staffing the OSC and Level II Fire Brigade. Separate entry into AOP-N.08 is allowed in accordance with AOP-N.01 because the criteria requiring both units to enter the AOP at the same time are not met. The fire is not in one of the four limiting areas that require simultaneous entry by both units .. B. Incorrect, with the fire a the ERCW pumping station still burning and the staffing at minimum (8 AVOs), all AVOs will report to the main control room because in accordance with AOP-N.01, the requirement to assemble AVOs to assign and brief the actions of AOP-N.08 take priority over staffing the OSC and Level II Fire Brigade. However the AOP-N.08 entry does not met the criteria requiring both units to enter at the same time. Plausible because the directions to the AVOs is correct and a fire in a different location could cause the units to enter the AOP at the same time. C. Incorrect, with the fire a the ERCW pumping station still burning and the staffing at minimum (8 AVOs), 2 AVOs would not be sent to the OSC, all would report to the main control room in accordance with AOP-N.01 because the requirement to assemble A VOs to assign and brief the actions of A OP-N. 08 takes priority over staffing the OSC and Level II Fire Brigade. The AOP-N.08 can be made separately because entry does not met the criteria requiring both units to enter at the same time. Plausible because the directions to send 2 AVOs to the OSC is the normal protocol during an emergency event and the units entry into the AOP being allowed at separate times in correct. D. Incorrect, with the fire a the ERCW pumping station still burning and the staffing at minimum (8 AVOs), 2 AVOs would not be sent to the OSC, all would report to the main control room in accordance with AOP-N.01 because the requirement to assemble AVOs to assign and brief the actions of AOP-N.08 takes priority over staffing the OSC and Level II Fire Brigade. Also, the AOP-N.08 entry does not met the criteria requiring both units to enter at the same time. Plausible because the directions to send 2 AVOs to the OSC is the normal protocol during an emergency event and a fire in a different location could cause the units to enter the AOP at the same time.

  • SED
  • RP Manager
  • Operations Manager or Operations Communicator
  • Technical Assessment Manager, Technical Assessment Team Leader, or Reactor Engineer
  • Mechanical Engineer
  • Electrical Engineer 3. Transfer of SED role from the SM to the TSC
  • Use EPIP-6, Appendix B G. EPI P-7, Activation and Operation of the Operations Support Center (OSC) 1. This procedure provides the guidance for activating and operating the OSC. The OSC is required to be activated at the ALERT classification and above. The SED directs mitigating actions and determines OSC priorities.

The OSC Manager oversees OSC activities.

2. Minimum OSC staffing
  • OSC Manager
  • Mechanical Maintenance Group (1)
  • Electrical Maintenance Group (1)
  • Instrument Maintenance Group (1) 3. AUO teams responding to procedure driven activities (EOPs, EAs, AOPs, etc.) are under the direction of the SM but tracked by the OSC. 4. RP and Operations should normally have personnel on each response team. H. EPIP-8, Personnel Accountability and Evacuation
1. This procedure provides the method for accounting for all personnel and visitors in the protected area within 30 min. OPL271 REP Revision 1 Page 23 of 32 INSTRUCTOR NOTES Refer to EPIP-6, Appendix B for discussion.

SM -Ensure you keep OSC aware of AUO usage for tracking purposes. Assembly should not be initiated if assembly would present a danger to employees.

x. LESSON BODY: 2. Operations Personnel
a. The protocol requires two AUOs to go to the OSC and the remaining AUOs go to the Main Control Room. The SM may send the AUOs to a waiting area within the protected ventilation area of the Control Building (such as the SM Office) if noise or congestion become a problem in the MCR. b. When the OSC Ops Advisor arrives in the OSC, he and the SM will collectively manage the resources to have the fastest response to problems yet still OPL271 REP Revision 1 Page 24 of 32 INSTRUCTOR NOTES provide a check of radiological conditions prior to I Obj S.b dispatching an AUO. Dispatching AUOs into plant areas needs input by RP as to appropriate protective equipment.

This is best done by the OSC Ops Advisor once he/she arrives. The OSC Ops Advisor is expected to relieve the SM of some of the administrative burden of tracking field personnel so he/she can focus on the higher priority of operational safety. c. The Shutdown Board Rooms and Control Building are spaces with protected ventilation similar to the MCR. Until advised by RP that these areas are becoming unsafe, they should be considered part of the MCR for the purpose of dispatching AUOs. This means that AUOs may be dispatched into these areas for tasks without being considered a "team" (much like sending an AUO behind the panels in the MCR to perform a task). As always, communications must be maintained at all times with AUOs while out on assignments and the TSC should be informed of AUO activities.

d. This protocol allows dispatching AUOs by telephone briefing and/or radio briefing as well as transfer of oversight of individual AUOs between the OSC SRO and SM as needed. This provides the best utilization of personnel while still protecting the AUOs from radiological hazards. e. AUOs assigned to the OSC will report directly to the OSC when required.
f. The SM is responsible to account for MCR personnel.

G 2.4.28 100 Given the following: Both units trip from power operation due a loss of off site power and sabotage is suspected. Nuclear Security reports the following: -Information has been received that a specific credible insider threat exists associated with the loss of offsite power. and -Concerns exist for the health and safety of any oncoming emergency responders. The Shift Manager determines the need to staff the emergency centers, makes REP declaration and activates Assembly and Accountability. The Two-person line of sight rule has been implemented. The Operating crew needs to send personnel to the DG building due to an alarm occurring on DG 1A-A. Which ONE of the following describes the selection the Shift Manager will make when activating the Emergency Paging System (EPS) and the required measures to be taken when sending personnel to the DG building. A. STAGING AREA will be selected on the EPS; Both individuals sent must be qualified for the task to be performed.

EMERGENCY will be selected on the EPS; Both individuals sent must be qualified for the task to be performed. D. EMERGENCY will be selected on the EPS; Only one of the individuals sent must be qualified for the task to be performed. Page 70 Proposed 2/6/2009 Sequoyah NRC SRO Written Exam as submitted DIS TRACTOR ANAL YSIS: A. Incorrect, In accordance with the Emergency Plan, if concerns exist for the health and safety of oncoming responders, the "Staging Area" choice is to be selected when initiating the staffing of the Emergency Centers but when the two-man rule is implemented, the individuals do not have to have the same qualifications. Plausible because choosing the "Staging Area" when initiating the staffing of the Emergency Centers is correct and typically when personnel are sent to perform a task both would be qualified. Page 71 B. CORRECT, In accordance with the Emergency Plan, if concerns exist for the health and safety of oncoming responders, the "Staging Area" choice is to be selected when initiating the staffing of the Emergency Centers and the individual do not have to posses the same qualification when the two-man rule is implemented. C. Incorrect, the "Staging Area" choice is to be selected when initiating the staffing of the Emergency Centers (not the the "Emergency), when concerns exist for the health and safety of oncoming responders, and the individual do not have to posses the same qualification when the two-man rule is implemented. Plausible because the the "Emergency" choice would be correct with different conditions when inititiating the staffing of the Emergency Centers and typically when personnel are sent to perform a task both would be qualified. D. Incorrect, the "Staging Area" choice is to be selected when initiating the staffing of the Emergency Centers (not the the "Emergency), when concerns exist for the health and safety of oncoming responders, and the individual do not have to posses the same qualification when the two-man rule is implemented. Plausible because the the "Emergency" choice would be correct with different conditions when inititiating the staffing of the Emergency Centers and the requirement for only one of the individuals to be qualified is correct.
