Level: RO SRO Tier# 1 Group# 1 KIA# 000007EA204 Ability to determine or interpret the following as they apply to a reactor trip: If reactor should have tripped but has not done so, manually trip the reactor and carry out actions in ATWS EOP Importance: 4.4 4.6 Question: #1 The reactor was initially at 100% power. A transient has occurred which caused reactor protection setpoints to be reached; however, the reactor does NOT trip. All attempts to trip the reactor from the control room have failed. The crew has entered 3-FR-S.1; Response to Nuclear Power Generation I A TWS. The Reactor Operator is manually inserting control rods and an NPO has been dispatched to locally trip the reactor. Westinghouse A TWS Analysis for various Condition II transients provides the bases for the mitigation strategy implemented in 3-FR-S.1. What are the next two actions required by 3-FR-S.1 and what is the limiting Condition II transient requiring those actions?

a. Trip the Turbine within 60 seconds and Initiate Emergency Boration. Uncontrolled RCCA Bank Withdrawal.

b. Trip the Turbine within 60 seconds and Verify total AFW flow greater than 686 gpm.

Loss of Normal Feedwater.

c. Trip the Turbine within 30 seconds and Initiate Emergency Boration. Uncontrolled RCCA Bank Withdrawal.

d. Trip the Turbine within 30 seconds and Verify total AFW flow greater than 686 gpm.

Loss of Normal Feedwater.

Answer: d Explanation I Justification

a. Incorrect. Plausible because the student may believe that the requirement for a turbine trip is 60 seconds. The 60 second time criterion is actually for initiation of auxiliary feed. Also plausible for the student to believe that since we are concerned with a loss of subcriticality, that emergency boration is started earlier than verifying aux feed flows. Finally, an Uncontrolled RCCA Bank Withdrawal is a Condition II transient that is analyzed for an ATWS event.

b. Incorrect. Plausible because Plausible because the student may believe that the requirement for a turbine trip is 60 seconds. The 60 second time criterion is actually for initiation of auxiliary feed. Also plausible because the two steps of verifying I tripping the

turbine and verifying aux feed flow > 686 gpm are the next two steps. Finally the Loss of Normal Feedwater is the ATWS event requiring Turbine Trip to maintain SG inventory.

c. Incorrect. Plausible because the first part of the distractor is correct regarding the turbine trip. Also plausible for the student to believe that since we are concerned with a loss of subcriticality, that emergency boration is started earlier than verifying aux feed flows.

Finally, an Uncontrolled RCCA Bank Withdrawal is a Condition II transient that is analyzed for an ATWS event.

d. Correct. Based on a loss of normal feedwater ATWS event, it is important to trip the turbine within 30 seconds to maintain SG inventory and verify aux feed flow within 60 seconds. See Westinghouse Owners Group Emergency Response Guideline for FR-S.1. (Steps 2 and 3 of 3-FR-S.1) (Note that Emergency Boration is step 4)

The Operators are currently implementing 3-E-3.

The ruptured SG is isolated.

The RCS has been cooled down and depressurized to less than the ruptured SG pressure.

The High Head Safety Injection Pumps have been stopped and placed in AUTO.

Pressurizer Level is 36%.

What is the current status of Charging and Letdown Flow per the implementation of 3-E-O; Steam Generator Tube Rupture?

a. A Charging Pump is running with the seal injection flow path isolated and letdown is isolated.

b. A Charging Pump is running with the seal injection flow path isolated and letdown in service.

c. A Charging Pump is running with the regenerative heat exchanger flow path isolated and letdown is isolated.

d. A Charging Pump is running with the regenerative heat exchanger flow path isolated and letdown is in service.

Answer: a Explanation I Justification

a. Correct. A Charging Pump is running per steps 13 and 14 of 3-E-3. Because the Diesels Loaded in SI plus Blackout Mode, the Component Cooling (CCW) pumps are not running.

With no component cooling pumps, the RCPs have been tripped and seal injection has been isolated. A Charging Pump can still be run however, with City Water providing pump cooling. However, Letdown will remain isolated because CCW has not been established (See Note at the beginning of Attachment 2; Establishing Letdown - "Letdown should not be placed in service unless charging and CCW have been established."

b. Incorrect. Plausible because the first part of the distractor is correct and the student may believe because PZR Level is 36% (>29%) that letdown flow can be established per step 28 of 3-E-3. However, because component cooling has not been established, letdown will not be placed in service.

c. Incorrect. Plausible because the student may believe that the regenerative heat exchanger flow path is isolated on an SI signal. Also plausible because letdown flow would have been isolated by the Phase A signal. Finally, it is also plausible because the second part of the distractor is actually true, because component cooling has not been established, letdown will not be placed in service.

d. Incorrect. Plausible because the student may believe that the regenerative heat exchanger flow path is isolated on an SI signal. Also plausible because the student may believe because PZR Level is 36% (>29%) that letdown flow can be established per step 28 of 3-E-

3. However, because component cooling has not been established, letdown will not be placed in service.

Importance: 4.0 4.6 Question: #3 Given the following conditions:

The Unit was operating at 100% Power when a Steam Line Break occurred downstream of the MSIVs.

A Reactor Trip and Safety Injection were Automatically initiated,

The MSIVs failed to close.

The Operators are presently performing step 5 of 3-ECA-2.1; Uncontrolled Depressurization of All Steam Generators.

An NPO reports that the 33 SG MSIV has just been closed locally.

The STA is monitoring Critical Safety Function Status Trees and observes the following indications:

Feedwater flow to each Steam Generator is 100 gpm

All Steam Generator WR Levels are < 9%

All Steam Generator Pressures are < 100 psig.

RCS Pressure is 1150 psig.

All RCS Cold Leg Temperatures are< 240°F

Intermediate Range SUR= +.1 DPM Based on the observations made by the STA, the CRS should direct the crew to:

a. Remain in ECA-2.1 until SI is terminated.

b. Transition to E-2; Faulted Steam Generator Isolation.

c. Transition to FR-P.1; Response to Imminent Pressurized Thermal Shock.

d. Transition to FR-S.1; Response to Nuclear Power Generation.

Answer: c

Explanation I Justification

a. Incorrect. Plausible because the student may recognize that 33 SG MSIV has been closed, but also remember that foldout page for ECA-2.1 states that; E-2 transition criteria does not apply while performing SI termination in ECA-2.1 (steps 5 through 16). However, this large steam line break has challenged RCS Integrity and a transition to FR-P.1 is required.

b. Incorrect. Plausible because the student may recognize that 33 SG MSIV has been closed and assume that 33 SG Pressure is now rising, meeting the E-2 transition criteria.

c. Correct. This large steam line break with failure of the MSIVs to close has challenged RCS Integrity and a transition to FR-P.1 is required because of meeting RED Path criteria per Figure F04-1. SRO candidate should be knowledgeable of the main temperature limits on the curve.

d. Incorrect. Plausible because the student may recognize that Intermediate Range SUR >

zero in a transition to FR-S.1. However, although Subcriticality is higher in priority than Thermal Shock, the Subcriticality is only an Orange Path. The Red Path Thermal Shock Path will take priority.

Con Ed reported that a widespread system blackout has occurred across Westchester County, restoration will take several days. The Reactor has tripped and all three EOGs have started. However, only 31 and 32 EOGs have loaded in a Blackout Mode. A fault exists on the 5A Bus. The plant is now stable with Natural Circulation Cooling established and the crew has transitioned to 3-ES-0.2; Natural Circulation Cooldown.

What RCS Cooldown restrictions exist and what are the bases for those restrictions?

a. Maintain RCS Cooldown rate < 60°F I HR due to having all CROM Fans running.

Before final RCS Oepressurization, a soak time of 27 hours3.125e-4 days 0.0075 hours 4.464286e-5 weeks 1.02735e-5 months is required due to Indian Point being a top hat upper support plate plant.

Answer: b Explanation I Justification

a. Incorrect. Plausible because the student may not remember that all four CROM Fans are powered from MCC 38 which is associated with the faulted 5A Bus. 60°F I HR is the rate if all CROM Fans are operating. Second part of distractor is correct, but for less than all CROM Fans operating.

b. Correct. Bus 5A which feeds MCC 38 (CROM Fan Power Supply) is faulted and de-energized, therefore no CROM Fans are available and a cooldown restriction of 25°F I HR is required. Additionally, Indian Point is a top hat upper support plate plant which requires a 27 hour3.125e-4 days 0.0075 hours 4.464286e-5 weeks 1.02735e-5 months soak prior to the final RCS depressurization (see ES-0.1, attachment 2, step 20).

c. Incorrect. Plausible because Plausible because the student may not remember that all four CROM Fans are powered from MCC 38 which is associated with the faulted 5A Bus. 60°F I HR is the rate if all CROM Fans are operating. The second part of the distractor describes the soak time for a flat upper support plate plant, however, Indian Point is a top hat upper support plate design.

d. Incorrect.

The Unit is at 100% Power

The System Operator has notified the control room that grid frequency is unstable What plant protection is designed for grid instabilities resulting in lowering frequency, how is the protection achieved, and what is the bases for needing this protection?

a. A single Reactor Coolant Pump Bus Underfrequency condition> P-8 will directly trip the reactor at < 57.5 HZ. This ensures that protection is provided against violating the DNBR limit due to loss of flow in one or more RCS loops from a major network frequency disturbance.

b. A two out of four Reactor Coolant Bus Underfrequency condition will directly trip the reactor at< 57.5 Hz. This ensures that protection is provided anticipating an actual loss of RCS Flow Condition. This is required because an underfrequency condition will slow down the pumps and reduce the pump coastdown time and therefore reduce reactor heat removal capability.

c. A single Reactor Coolant Pump Bus Underfrequency condition > P-8 will cause the tripping open of the associated Reactor Coolant Pump Breaker at< 57.5 Hz. The Reactor will subsequently trip on a Loss of Reactor Coolant Flow condition. Above P-8, loss of flow in any RCS loop will actuate a reactor trip. This ensures that protection is provided against violating the DNBR limit due to loss of flow in one or more RCS loops.

d. A two out of four Reactor Coolant Bus Underfrequency condition will trip all four Reactor Coolant Pump Breakers at< 57.5 HZ. The Reactor will subsequently trip on the Reactor Coolant Pump Breaker Open Position Protection Trip. This ensures that protection is provided against violating the DNBR limit due to loss of flow in two or more RCS loops from a major network disturbance.

Answer: d Explanation I Justification

a. Incorrect. Plausible because the student may believe that the coincidence for underfrequency is a single loop above P-8, similar to the low RCS loop flow trip. The student may also believe that underfrequency conditions are a direct reactor trip. The bases statement is actually correct for a single loop loss of flow condition.

b. Incorrect. Plausible because the underfrequency protection is a two out of four bus logic.

The student may also believe that underfrequency conditions are a direct reactor trip.

Finally, the bases statement is correct for an underfrequency condition.

c. Incorrect. Plausible because the student may believe that the coincidence for underfrequency is a single loop above P-8, similar to the low RCS loop flow trip. Also plausible because the underfrequency condition is not a direct trip and does cause the opening of the reactor coolant breakers, however underfrequency is a two out of four logic and the reactor coolant pump breaker open signal will trip the reactor, not loss of RCS loop flow as stated. The bases statement is actually correct for a single loop loss of flow condition.

d. Correct. A two out of four Reactor Coolant Bus Underfrequency condition will trip all four Reactor Coolant Pump Breakers at< 57.5 HZ. The Reactor will subsequently trip on the Reactor Coolant Pump Breaker Open Position Protection Trip. This ensures that protection is provided against violating the DNBR limit due to loss of flow in two or more RCS loops from a major network disturbance.

31 RHR Pump is cleared and tagged for motor replacement

A LOCA coincident with a complete loss of Off-Site Power has occurred

Emergency Diesel Generators 31 and 32 have started and loaded in SI plus Blackout Mode

Emergency Diesel Generator 32 has tripped and operators have been unable to restart.

When attempting to establish Cold Leg Recirculation per 3-ES-1.3; Transfer to Cold Leg Recirculation, the following alarm was received:

o Low Head Injection Line Low Flow

RWST Level is presently 10 feet and lowering

Containment Pressure is 25 psig and slowly lowering Which of the following describes the required procedure transition and required actions based on present plant conditions?

a. Transition to 3-FR-Z-1; Response to High Containment Pressure. An Orange Path termination requires suspension of any E-set procedure in progress and transition to the required FRP. Operators will start available Containment Spray Pumps and Containment Fan Cooler Units as necessary.

b. Transition to 3-ECA-1.1; Loss of Emergency Coolant Recirculation. FRPs are NOT implemented during the performance of ECA-1.1 because the strategy for Containment Spray Pump Operation in the FRP does not take into account conserving RWST inventory like ECA-1.1 does. Operators will stop 32 Containment Spray Pump and operate three Containment Fan Cooler Units.

c. Remain in 3-ES-1.3; Transfer to Cold Leg Recirculation because FRPs are NOT implemented during the performance of ES-1.3 as per the NOTE that states; "FRPs should not be implemented until the transfer to cold leg recirculation has been completed." 3-ES-1.3 will recognize the loss of recirculation pumps and align 32 RHR Pump for recirculation.

d. Transition to 3-ECA-1.3; Loss of Emergency Coolant Recirculation Caused By Sump Blockage. FRPs are NOT implemented during the performance of ECA-1.3 per guidance in OAP-012; EOP Users Guide. Operators will run one Containment Spray Pump and four Containment Fan Cooler Units.

Answer: d Explanation I Justification

a. Incorrect. Plausible because the student may believe that transition to the Orange Path FRP is appropriate as containment pressure is> 22 psig. Actual transition will depend on whether a containment spray pump is still running and which procedure transition is appropriate. In this case, ECA-1.3; loss of recirculation caused by sump blockage is appropriate and FRPs are not entered from ECA-1.3.

b. Incorrect. Plausible because the student may believe that because the present plant configuration leaves them with no recirculation capability, then transition to ECA-1.1 is appropriate. Also plausible because the second statement is partially true with respect to the strategy of RWST conservation, however, FRPs are entered from ECA-1.1. Finally, the operators will not stop 32 Containment Spray Pump because it is not running due to the loss of 32 EOG.

c. Incorrect. Plausible because FRPs are not implemented during the performance of ES-1.3; Transfer to Cold Leg Recirculation. Also plausible because if the recirculation pumps were not available, ES-1.3 would use Attachment 3 to align RHR for recirculation. However, indication of the "Low Head Injection Line Low Flow" alarm is a foldout page transition to ECA-1.3 as an indication of sump blockage. Additionally due to the loss of 6A bus (32 EOG trip), 32 RHR Pump is also unavailable.

d. Correct. The indication of the "Low Head Injection Line Low Flow" alarm is a foldout page transition to ECA-1.3 as an indication of sump blockage. FRPs are NOT implemented during the performance of ECA-1.3 per guidance in OAP-012; EOP Users Guide. Operators will run one Containment Spray Pump and four Containment Fan Cooler Units. (See ECA-1.3, steps 2 & 3). Note that step 2.a. will attempt to start all available FCUs (only Fan Cooler 35 is unavailable), however per table (step 3.C.) "all" FCUs are not available so one Containment Spray pump is still required whether three or four FCUs are running.

Importance: 3.2 4.2 Question: #7 Given the following plant conditions:

Plant Startup is in progress IAW 3-POP-1.3; Plant Startup from Zero to 45% Power.

At 4% Power, N35 Intermediate Range Channel was reading significantly higher than its expected current limit, was declared inoperable and the channel was removed from service IAW 3-SOP-Nl-001.

At 8% Power, N36 Intermediate Range Channel has just failed low.

What actions are required per Technical Specifications and what are the bases for those actions?

a. Power operations may continue based on power level being greater than 5% (MODE 1).

In MODE 1, Technical Specification 3.0.3 in not applicable for the Intermediate Range Neutron Flux High Reactor Trip. Greater than 5% power the P-6 interlock has already been met and the Power Range Neutron Flux - Low Setpoint Reactor Trip provides protection from a reactivity addition accident.

b. Immediately suspend operations involving positive reactivity additions and reduce THERMAL POWER to < P-6 within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days 5.555556e-4 hours 3.306878e-6 weeks 7.61e-7 months . At least one Intermediate Range Channel is required to be operable > P-6 and less than P-1 O when there is a potential for an uncontrolled RCCA bank rod withdrawal accident during reactor startup. Below P-6, the Source Range Neutron Flux Trip provides backup core protection for reactivity accidents.

c. Enter Technical Specification 3.0.3 due to both Intermediate Range Channels being inoperable. Action shall be initiated within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days 2.777778e-4 hours 1.653439e-6 weeks 3.805e-7 months to place the unit in Mode 3 within 7 hours8.101852e-5 days 0.00194 hours 1.157407e-5 weeks 2.6635e-6 months . In MODE 3, the Intermediate Range Neutron Flux Trip does not have to be OPERABLE because the control rods must be fully inserted and only the shutdown rods may be withdrawn. The reactor cannot be started up in this condition.

d. Within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days 2.777778e-4 hours 1.653439e-6 weeks 3.805e-7 months , verify interlock (P-6) is in the required state for the existing unit conditions and because the P-6 interlock has already been met, power shall be raised to greater than P-10 within the next 2 hours2.314815e-5 days 5.555556e-4 hours 3.306878e-6 weeks 7.61e-7 months . Above the P-6 interlock setpoint, the NIS Source Range Neutron Flux Reactor Trip will be blocked making this function no longer

necessary during a power accession. Above the P-10 setpoint, the Power Range Neutron Flux - High Setpoint Trip provides core protection for a rod withdrawal accident.

Answer: b Explanation I Justification

a. Incorrect. Plausible because student may believe that TS 3.0.3 would apply for both channels being inoperable, but also believe that applicability is only during startup < 5%

power. The P-6 interlock has already been met and the Power Range Neutron Flux - Low Setpoint Reactor Trip does provide primary protection from a reactivity addition accident.

b. Correct. Technical Specification 3.3.1, Action Fis applicable if less than one channel is operable. The bases are as stated for TS 3.3.1, Action F.

c. Incorrect. Plausible because student may believe that TS 3.0.3 would apply for both channels being inoperable. Mode 3 bases statement is correct for Mode 3.

d. Incorrect. Plausible because this is the correct stated bases for Technical Specification 3.3.1, Action M if one of more channels of (P-6) interlock are inoperable. The fact that the interlock is in the correct state greater than P-6 setpoint and not required is also correct.

Refueling Operations are in progress, Full Core Off-Load is being performed.

A spent fuel assembly has been latched in the manipulator mast and the assembly has just been lifted clear of the reactor vessel flange.

Visual Observations indicate Refueling Cavity and Spent Fuel Pool Level are both lowering.

These local visual indications also indicate Refueling Cavity and Spent Fuel Pool are both below Technical Specification Requirements.

The refueling SRO has entered 3-AOP-FH-1; Fuel Damage OR Loss of SFP I Refueling Cavity Level. Which of the following describe the correct initial procedural actions based on the above information?

a. Immediately suspend movement of all irradiated fuel assemblies in accordance with Technical Specifications 3. 7.14 and 3.9.6, evacuate all personnel from Containment, initiate Containment Ventilation Isolation (Purge & Pressure Relief Valves Closed), close the fuel transfer canal gate valve and initiate level makeup.

b. Place the suspended fuel assembly in the containment upender, lower and send to the Fuel Storage Building, then close and latch the fuel transfer canal gate valve, inflate the fuel transfer canal gate valve, and evacuate all personnel from the Fuel Storage Building (FSB) and Containment VC).

c. Close and latch the fuel transfer canal gate valve, inflate fuel transfer canal gate seal, place the suspended fuel assembly back in the reactor vessel and evacuate non-essential personnel form the Fuel Storage Building (FSB) and Containment (VC).

d. Place the suspended fuel assembly in the containment upender in the vertical position, evacuate non-essential personnel from the Fuel Storage Building (FSB) and Containment (VC), close the fuel transfer canal gate valve and initiate level makeup.

Answer: c Explanation I Justification

a. Incorrect. Plausible because the student may be focused on the need to immediately suspend movement of irradiated fuel assemblies per the tech spec actions, however, as stated in the tech spec bases; "this does not preclude movement of a fuel assembly to a safe position." Also plausible because if the assembly is left in the manipulator crane mast with level continuing to lower, actions from the "damaged" fuel assembly section requiring Containment Ventilation Isolation and evacuation are very plausible. The need to makeup is also a subsequent step and therefore additionally plausible.

b. Incorrect. Plausible because depending on how fast level is lowering, the upender would be a second choice per the procedure (See Attachment 2, step 2.5), however, the upender would never be sent back to the FSB. Transfer cart needs to be on containment side to facilitate gate valve closure. The remaining steps are correct, except that all personnel are not evacuated, only "non-essential". Plausible because, all personnel are evacuated for a "damaged" assembly.

c. Correct. See steps 4.27 - 4.30 in body of procedure, Attachments 1 & 2.

d. Incorrect. Plausible because depending on how fast level is lowering, the upender would be a second choice per the procedure (See Attachment 2, step 2.5), however, the upender would be then lowered to the "horizontal" position. Closing the gate valve is correct and the need to makeup is also a subsequent step and therefore additionally plausible.

The accidental release of waste gases is analyzed assuming a rupture of tanks that accumulate significant quantities of radioactive gases during operation. Waste Gas Operation Procedural precautions and limitations, along with ODCM Limiting Conditions for Operations have been established to ensure analysis assumptions are met.

To ensure a rupture of a Unit 3 Waste Gas Decay Tank remains within analyzed limits, operations personnel will limit the pressure of the gas decay tank to psig and the total curie activity of the gas decay tank to ::; curies. Chemistry will ensure the curie content restriction is met by a grab sample and analysis prior to a controlled release, but Radiation Monitor is used to alert operators of the potential for reaching the tank curie limit before sampling has occurred. The bases for the curie radioactive content ensures that in the event of an uncontrolled release of the tank's contents, the resulting total body exposure to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC at the nearest SITE BOUNDARY will not exceed Rem.

b. Incorrect. Plausible because the total curie content number is Unit 2's limit for the same ODCM spec. Student may believe that gas decay tanks swap at 95 psig. 0.5 Rem is

correct total dose number and the student could believe that R-14; Plant Vent Radiogas Monitor would be the appropriate.

c. Incorrect. Plausible because the 50,000 curie content number is correct. Student may believe that gas decay tanks swap at 95 psig. 1.5 Rem is the thyroid dose limit and the student could believe that R-14; Plant Vent Radiogas Monitor would be the appropriate.

d. Incorrect. Plausible because the total curie content number is Unit 2's limit for the same ODCM spec. Also 11 O psig and R-20 are correct, while 1.5 Rem is the thyroid dose limit.

Core Exit Thermocouples are 1250°F and slowly rising

RVLIS Full Range= 30% and slowly lowering

All Auxiliary Feedwater Flow has been lost

It will take approximately one hour to restore a source of feedwater

SG WR Levels are 24%, 23%, 22%, and 25% respectively.

NO support systems are available for the RCPs

Attempts to start High Head Safety Injection Pumps were unsuccessful What recovery and mitigation strategy will be implemented next and why?

a. Start Reactor Coolant Pumps (RCPs) because in 3-FR-C.1; Response to Inadequate Core Cooling, RCPs are started even if support systems are unavailable. Starting the RCPs will provide forced two phase flow through the core and temporarily improve core cooling.

b. Immediately transition to 3-FR-H.1; Response to Loss of Secondary Heat Sink due to the Red Path on Heat Sink. This procedure will help expedite the restoration of a source of feedwater while monitoring for the need to initiate Bleed and Feed. The RCPs are to remain stopped in FR-H .1.

c. Open all PRZR PORVs, PORV Block Valves and Reactor Vessel Head Vents to depressurize the RCS in accordance with 3-FR-C.1; Response to Inadequate Core Cooling. The RCPs are not started due to insufficient water level in the steam generators to protect the steam generator tubes from creep rupture.

d. Depressurize ALL Intact SGs to 175 psig in accordance with 3-FR-C.1; Response to Inadequate Core Cooling. The rapid secondary depressurization has been shown to be the most effective way to reduce RCS pressure, allowing the SI accumulators to inject.

The RCPs are not started because without proper support conditions, damage will occur to the RCPs, preventing any future use.

Answer: c

Explanation I Justification

a. Incorrect. Plausible because if high head safety injection has not been established and a secondary heat sink (AFW) cannot be established, FR-C.1, step 9 RNO ends you to step 18 which determines whether RCPs should be started. The NOTE before step 18 even states; "Normal conditions are desired but NOT required for starting the RCPs. The remaining statement is correct and from the WOG ERG Bases for the NOTE. However, step 18 also requires SG NR Level> 9%, which we do not have.

b. Incorrect. Plausible because a RED Path for Heat Sink does exist. However, we are implementing a higher priority Functional Restoration Procedure (FRP) in 3-FR-C.1; Inadequate Core Cooling.

c. Correct. If high head safety injection has not been established and a secondary heat sink (AFW) cannot be established, FR-C.1, step 9 RNO ends you to step 18 which determines whether RCPs should be started. However, step 18 also requires SG NR Level > 9%, which we do not have. The WOG ERG Bases states that "RCPs are only started in this step if there is sufficient water level in their associated steam generator to protect the steam generator tubes from creep rupture." Step 18, RNO has you open the PORVs, PORV Block Valves, and the Reactor Vessel Head Vents to depressurize the RCS. See Step 18.b RNO.

d. Incorrect. Plausible because the next step in FR-C.1 (step 19) (after the RCP decision step

18) is to depressurize all intact SGs to atmospheric Pressure. However, the proper next mitigation strategy (in order) is to depressurize the RCS first using PORVs and Head Vents.

100% Reactor Power

All Control Systems are in AUTO

RCP NO. 1 SEAL RETURN HIGH LOW FLOW (COMMON) is in alarm

33 RCP #1 Seal return flow has been trending upward for the last three days, presently stable at 5.1 gpm

33 RCP Seal Inlet Temperature has been stable at 150°F

The Reactor Operators are recording RCP Seal Return Flow Data per 3-AOP-RCP-1; Reactor Coolant Pump Malfunction The ATC Reactor Operator has just notified the CRS that #1 Seal Return low has risen to the maximum indicated flow on the digital recorder. 33 RCP Seal Inlet Temperature is also slowly rising. Which of the following describes how the CRS should direct the crew to respond?

a. Initiate a normal Reactor Shutdown IAW 3-POP-2.1; Operation at Greater Than 45%

Answer: b Explanation I Justification

a. Incorrect. Plausible because the student may believe that the #1 Seal Leak-off Flow did not exceed 6 gpm. It is also plausible because various RCP abnormal conditions (vibrations, temperatures, etc.) require a shutdown within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days 0.00222 hours 1.322751e-5 weeks 3.044e-6 months based on vendor manual recommendations.

b. Correct. Step 4.1 IAAT conditions include the following; "#1 seal return flow> 6gpm (5.99 gpm digital). Student needs to recognize that the maximum indicated flow on the digital recorder is 5.99 gpm. See steps 4.2 through 4.9 and then step 4.12 to close affected RCP Seal Return Valve. Note that E-0 is "initiated" after stopping affected RCP.

c. Incorrect. Plausible because the majority of the distractor is correct. See above, but note that E-0 is "initiated" after stopping affected RCP.

d. Incorrect. Plausible because various RCP abnormal conditions (vibrations, temperatures, etc.) require a shutdown within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days 0.00222 hours 1.322751e-5 weeks 3.044e-6 months based on vendor manual recommendations.

Plant is operating at 100% power

Annunciator, PROCESS MONITOR HIGH RAD is in alarm

Annunciator, THERMAL BARRIER COOLING WATER RETURN HIGH TEMP is in alarm

Annunciator, THERMAL BARRIER CCW HEADER LOW FLOW is in alarm

AC-FCV-625 indicates closed Based on the above plant indications, what procedure does the CRS enter, what are the first mitigations steps, and why are those steps taken?

a. The CRS enters 3-AOP-LICCW-1; Leakage into CCW System and directs mitigation through Attachment 1. Attachment 1 directs the crew to momentarily select OPEN on AC-FCV-625 to determine the affected RCP by observing which RCP has the low thermal barrier delta p.

b. The CRS enters 3-AOP-RCP-1; Reactor Coolant Pump Malfunction. The procedure directs the crew to momentarily select OPEN on AC-FCV-625 to determine the affected RCP by observing which RCP has the low thermal barrier delta p.

c. The CRS enters 3-AOP-CCW-1; Loss of Component Cooling and directs mitigation through Attachment 9. Attachment 9 directs the crew to Split CCW Headers to prevent the spread of contamination and assist in exposing the affected RCP when the AC-FCV-625 is subsequently momentarily opened.

d. The CRS enters 3-AOP-LICCW-1; Leakage into CCW System and directs mitigation through Attachment 9. Attachment 9 directs the crew to Split CCW Headers to prevent the spread of contamination and assist in exposing the affected RCP when the AC-FCV-625 is subsequently momentarily opened.

Answer: a Explanation I Justification

a. Correct. These alarms and the fact that the AC-FCV-625 is closed are all indications of a RCP Thermal Barrier leak. Therefore, the CRS would enter AOP-LICCW, Leakage into CCW System and utilize Attachment 1 to determine which RCP thermal barrier heat exchanger is leaking and isolate it. Attachment 1 directs the crew to momentarily select OPEN on AC-FCV-625 to determine the affected RCP by observing which RCP has the low thermal barrier delta p. See bases document for AOP-LICCW, step 1.2; "determines the affected RCP by momentarily reinitiating CCW flow and observing which RCP has the low thermal barrier delta p."

b. Incorrect. Plausible because the student may believe that RCP Thermal Barrier leaks are handled in AOP-RCP; RCP Malfunctions. Additionally plausible because the remainder of the mitigation strategy and bases are true.

c. Incorrect. Plausible because the student may believe that RCP Thermal Barrier loss is covered by AOP-CCW; Loss of CCW. Second part of distractor is an action from AOP-LICCW to split the headers if the PROCESS MONITOR HIGH RAD is in alarm and it is caused by R17 (CCW High Activity). The student can easily infer that the alarm was caused by R17, then AOP-LICCW actually has an attachment 9 that splits the headers and the bases document for step 4.5 of the procedure states; "Splitting the headers would help prevent the spread of contamination and assist in exposing the affected component."

d. Incorrect. Plausible because AOP-LICCW is the proper mitigating procedure and the second part of distractor is an action from AOP-LICCW to split the headers if the PROCESS MONITOR HIGH RAD is in alarm and it is caused by R17 (CCW High Activity). The student can easily infer that the alarm was caused by R17, then AOP-LICCW actually has an attachment 9 that splits the headers and the bases document for step 4.5 of the procedure states; "Splitting the headers would help prevent the spread of contamination and assist in exposing the affected component." However, the NOTE before step 4.5 states that "it is NOT necessary to split headers if leak has been identified and is isolable." Clearly based on the given information, a RCP Thermal Barrier Leak exists and splitting the headers does not help the mitigation strategy of Attachment 1 of the procedure. The CRS knowing this would not elect to use Attachment 9 and split the headers.

The A TC Reactor Operator monitoring the control board notices the following indications:

Reactor Power is 100.5% and slowly rising

RCS Tavg is 569°F and slowly lowering

Rods are at their fully withdrawn position of 230 steps

A red light is lit for Group 1 Steam Dump Valves on the flight panel (FCF)

The CRS has entered 3-UC-1; Uncontrolled Cooldown. What is the appropriate CRS crew direction for these indications IAW the procedure?

a. Trip the Reactor, Close the MSIVs, and GO TO 3-E-O; Reactor Trip or Safety Injection.

b. Stop any inward rod motion, stop any turbine load increase in progress, initiate a dilution to restore Tavg to 1.5°F of program, and dispatch an operator to manually isolate all three steam dump valves in Group 1.

c. Place rods in Manual, stop any turbine load increase in progress, reduce turbine load to maintain reactor power:::;; 100%, stop any boration in progress, maintain turbine load as necessary to maintain Tavg within 4°F of Tret. and dispatch an operator to manually isolate affected valves.

d. Trip the Reactor, Close the MSIVs, and INITIATE 3-E-O; Reactor Trip or Safety Injection, while continuing with the implementation of Attachment 1; Investigation Checklist of 3-UC-1.

Answer: c Explanation I Justification

a. Incorrect. Plausible because this would be the action for a locally un-isolable steam leak.

This is actually steps 4.1 through 4.4 of the procedure. However, control board indications

show a malfunctioning I open high pressure steam dump valve, this could be isolated locally.

b. Incorrect. Plausible because the first two actions are correct per steps 4.6 & 4.8 of the procedure, however the procedure does not direct restoring Tavg via a dilution. Although this is still plausible as raising temperature to program will add negative reactivity. Student may also believe that isolation of all three group 1 valves is necessary based on the indication.

However, the indicator for group 1 turning red may only be one valve.

c. Correct. Information in the stem indicates a malfunctioning I open high pressure steam dump valve and therefore this would be locally isolable. Rods are placed in Manual per step

4. 7 due to rods bei,ng at 230 steps, then step 4.8 stops any turbine load increases in progress, step 4.9 reduces turbine load to maintain reactor power::; 100%, step 4.10 stops any boration in progress, and step 4.15 maintains turbine load as necessary to maintain Tavg within 4°F of Tret (because rods are in manual). Finally, step 4.19 RNO closes any affected valves.

d. Incorrect. Plausible because this would be the action for a locally un-isolable steam leak, except that 3-UC-1 states GO TO 3-E-O, not INITIATE. But also plausible because a number of AOPs do use the term INITIATE so that supplemental actions can be completed.

In this case the student would believe that the malfunctioning steam dump valve would still require isolation via 3-UC-1, Attachment 1.

Need to understand actual control board indication? Are there green closed lights as well? Original intent was for a partially open steam dump valve, but may have to use a fully open valve which could be equal to approx. 3% power. Should possibly check numbers on simulator? Power & Tavg.

Could change stem to no indication (between green & red), if it has green light.

Otherwise, may need much greater power and lower temperature indications.

a. Correct. See step 4.5.10 of 3-SOP-AFW-002. MONITOR ABFP discharge pipe temperatures hourly until temperature is ambient for at least 4 hours4.62963e-5 days 0.00111 hours 6.613757e-6 weeks 1.522e-6 months .

b. Incorrect. Plausible because the student may believe that two hours is acceptable from an operability standpoint and effectively utilizes available resources. Also plausible because the eight hours is within the normal once per shift checks that are done as part of the regular conventional plant operator rounds (0800 & 2000 readings).

c. Incorrect. Plausible because the student may believe that increasing normal surveillance of once per shift per the conventional operator logs to three times per shift is effective and prudent from an operability standpoint. Also the 12 hours1.388889e-4 days 0.00333 hours 1.984127e-5 weeks 4.566e-6 months would be exactly one shift.

d. Incorrect.

The Unit is at 100% power.

The Shift Manager is incapacitated due to an illness.

32 EOG is cleared and tagged for cylinder liner replacement.

A major grid disturbance has resulted in a Reactor Trip and a Complete Loss of Offsite Power.

All 138KV and 13.8KV feeds to Unit 3 are unavailable. Con Ed has stated that grid restoration times are presently unknown, but greater than 4 hours4.62963e-5 days 0.00111 hours 6.613757e-6 weeks 1.522e-6 months . All available equipment has functioned per design and Natural Circulation Cooling has been established.

As the Control Room Supervisor classify the event, and state what personnel can relieve you as the Emergency Director.

a. UNUSUAL EVENT; Loss of all offsite AC power to 480 V safeguards buses for ~ 15 minutes. The On-Call Emergency Director or the Plant Operations Manager.

b. ALERT; AC power capability reduced to minimum design for~ 15 minutes, such that any additional single failure would result in less than minimum designed safeguards equipment. The On-Call Emergency Director or the Plant Operations Manager.

c. ALERT; AC power capability reduced to minimum design for~ 15 minutes, such that any additional single failure would result in less than minimum designed safeguards equipment. The On-Call Emergency Director only.

d. UNUSUAL EVENT; Loss of all offsite AC power to 480 V safeguards buses for~ 15 minutes. The On-Call Emergency Director only.

Answer: a Explanation I Justification

a. Correct. In accordance with IP-EP-120; Emergency Classification this event would be classified as an UNUSUAL EVENT (SU1 .1 ). However, since references are not being provided, the basic SRO knowledge of the Emergency Plan and the classification thresholds

should allow the student to answer this question. UE events are the lowest category and indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety. ALERT events involve actual or substantial degradation of the level of safety. In this case, a loss of of-site power has occurred, but this is within design analysis (accidents analyzed with a loss of of-site power) and minimum safeguards equipment is available with two AC buses energized from the diesel generators. Additionally the plant is stable with natural circulation established.

Therefore, no more than an UNUSUAL EVENT classification is justified. With regard to who can relieve the CRS, IP-EP-210; Central Control Room and IP-EP-120 both state;" ... until relieved by the On-Call Emergency Director or other qualified Emergency Director (Plant Operations Manager)."

b. Incorrect. Plausible because the student may believe that because they have lost all off-site power and additionally lost one EOG that event escalation to an ALERT is warranted. Also plausible because IP-EP-120, SA 1.1 states;" ... reduced to a single power source for~ 15 minutes such that any additional single failure would result in loss of all AC power to safeguards buses" and the stated reason in the distractor uses similar language. However, again the plant is stable and the minimum design requirements are presently met (two AC buses energized from the diesel generators). Second part of distractor regarding Emergency Director relief is correct.

c. Incorrect. Plausible because Plausible because the student may believe that because they have lost all off-site power and additionally lost one EOG that event escalation to an ALERT is warranted. Also plausible because IP-EP-120, SA 1.1 states; " ... reduced to a single power source for ~ 15 minutes such that any additional single failure would result in loss of all AC power to safeguards buses" and the stated reason in the distractor uses similar language. However, again the plant is stable and the minimum design requirements are presently met (two AC buses energized from the diesel generators).

d. Incorrect. Plausible because the first part of the distractor is correct, UNUSUAL EVENT is the proper classification.

33 Auxiliary Feedwater Pump is cleared and tagged for motor replacement.

PORV PCV-455C is inoperable due to seat leakage and PORV Block Valve RC-MOV-535 is closed.

The Reactor has tripped from 100% power due to a loss of main feedwater.

Initial attempts to restore a secondary heat sink have been unsuccessful and the operators have initiated "Bleed and Feed" in accordance with 3-FR-H.1; Response to Loss of Secondary Heat Sink.

Based on present plant conditions and procedural guidance for "Bleed and Feed", what mitigative actions will be directed by the CRS and will they be successful?

a. Two Charging Pumps running, Three HHSI Pumps running, and both PORV &

Associated Block Valves open. Continue attempts to establish secondary heat sink in any SG. Bleed and Feed will be successful, sufficient feed and bleed flow exists to permit RCS heat removal.

b. Two Charging Pumps running, Two HHSI Pumps running, one PORV & Associated Block Valve open, All Reactor Vessel Head Vent ya1ves open. GO TO Attachment 3, Establishing Feedwater Flow from Secondary Plant. Bleed and Feed may not be successful, if core decay heat exceeds RCS bleed and feed heat removal capability, significant RCS inventory depletion will occur.

c. Two Charging Pumps running, Two HHSI Pumps running, and both PORV & Associated Block Valves open. Continue attempts to establish secondary heat sink in any SG.

Bleed and Feed will be successful, sufficient feed and bleed flow exists to permit RCS heat removal.

d. Two Charging Pumps running, Three HHSI Pumps running, one PORV & Associated Block Valve open, All Reactor Vessel Head Vent Valves open. GO TO Attachment 3, Establishing Feedwater Flow from Secondary Plant. Bleed and Feed may not be successful, if core decay heat exceeds RCS bleed and feed heat removal capability, significant RCS inventory depletion will occur.

Answer: a Explanation I Justification

a. Correct. Due to the loss of 3A 480 VAC Bus, 32 Charging Pump and 31 ABFP are unavailable, therefore procedurally two charging pumps and three HHSI pumps will be running. The HHSI pumps are on 480VAC Buses 2A, 5A, & 6A. Both PORVs and their associated Block Valves are available because TS 3.4.11 only requires the PORV Block Valve be closed with power available to it for a leaking PORV. The power supplies for the PORV Block Valves are 5A and 6A, not 3A. In accordance with the procedure (3-FR-H.1) and its bases two charging pumps and three HHSI pumps are adequate (feed) to allow opening both PORVs and their associated Block valves (Bleed). Bleed and Feed will be successful, sufficient feed and bleed flow exists to permit RCS heat removal.

b. Incorrect. Plausible because the student may believe that 480VAC Bus 3A supplied both a Charging Pump and a HHSI Pump. Also plausible for the student to believe that power was not available to the one PORV Block Valve, making that PORV not available. Both PORVs and their associated Block Valves are available because TS 3.4.11 only requires the PORV Block Valve be closed with power available to it for a leaking PORV. The power supplies for the PORV Block Valves are 5A and 6A, not 3A. Finally the remainder of the distractor is correct for a condition with only one PORV open.

c. Incorrect. Plausible because the student may believe that 480VAC Bus 3A supplied both a Charging Pump and a HHSI Pump. The HHSI pumps are on 480VAC Buses 2A, 5A, & 6A.

Also plausible because the remainder of the distractor is correct, both PORVs are available and the Bleed and Feed would be successful.

d. Incorrect. Plausible because due to the loss of 3A 480 VAC Bus, 32 Charging Pump and 31 ABFP are unavailable, therefore procedurally two charging pumps and three HHSI pumps will be running. The HHSI pumps are on 480VAC Buses 2A, 5A, & 6A. Also plausible for the student to believe that power was not available to the one PORV Block Valve, making that PORV not available. Both PORVs and their associated Block Valves are available because TS 3.4.11 only requires the PORV Block Valve be closed with power available to it for a leaking PORV. The power supplies for the PORV Block Valves are 5A and 6A, not 3A.

Finally the remainder of the distractor is correct for a condition with only one PORV open.

What is the Containment Radiation Level that causes the Containment Status Tree to be in a Yellow Condition and is the CRS required to implement the actions of 3-FR-Z.3?

a. 2 2 R/HR. No, the CRS is allowed to decide whether or not to implement any Yellow condition FRP.

b. 2 3 R/HR. Yes, the CRS will implement the actions of 3-FR-Z.3 concurrently with 3-ES-1.2 or after completion of 3-ES-1.2, but they must complete the actions of 3-FR-Z.3 before the EOP network is exited.

c. 2 3 R/HR. No, the CRS is allowed to decide whether or not to implement any Yellow condition FRP.

d. 2 2 R/HR. Yes, the CRS will implement the actions of 3-FR-Z.3 concurrently with 3-ES-1.2 or after completion of 3-ES-1.2, but they must complete the actions of 3-FR-Z.3 before the EOP network is exited.

Answer: c Explanation I Justification

a. Incorrect. Plausible because the "Alert" setpoint for Containment High Range Area Radiation Monitors R-25 and R-26 is 2 R/HR. Also plausible because the second part of the distractor is correct per OAP-012, step 4.3.18.

b. Incorrect. Plausible because in accordance with 3-F-0.5; Containment Status Tree, if Containment Radiation is 2 3 R/HR a Yellow Path condition exists. The Status Tree states to GO TO 3-FR-Z.3 for those radiation conditions. Also plausible because although the student knows that Yellow Conditions don't require immediate transition to the FRP from the procedure in effect, they may believe that all valid Yellow conditions must be resolved prior to exiting the EOP network.

c. Correct. In accordance with 3-F-0.5; Containment Status Tree, if Containment Radiation is 2 3 R/HR a Yellow Path condition exists. Also see OAP-012, step 4.3.18; "The CRS/SM is allowed to decide whether or not to implement any YELLOW condition FRP."

d. Incorrect. Plausible because the "Alert" setpoint for Containment High Range Area Radiation Monitors R-25 and R-26 is 2 R/HR. Also plausible because although the student knows that Yellow Conditions don't require immediate transition to the FRP from the procedure in effect, they may believe that all valid Yellow conditions must be resolved prior to exiting the EOP network.

Answer: a Explanation I Justification

a. Correct. LCO 3. 7.9 states that three pumps are required for essential service water header and that two pumps are required for nonessential header. In this case we lose one essential header pump and two nonessential header pumps, both of these being 72 hour8.333333e-4 days 0.02 hours 1.190476e-4 weeks 2.7396e-5 months action statements. This is the same as the EOG spec and therefore we would not "cascade" nor are we below design bases requirements. LCO 3.7.8 states that two component cooling loops shall be operable, each loop consisting of a single pump and single heat exchanger.

Therefore, with only one loop operable, this would be in a 72 hour8.333333e-4 days 0.02 hours 1.190476e-4 weeks 2.7396e-5 months action statement as well.

Again bounded by the Diesel spec and within design bases requirements. Minimum design bases equipment is met with 2 EDGs, 2 essential service water pumps, 1 nonessential

service water pump, and 1 component cooling water pump. Therefore only the 72 hour8.333333e-4 days 0.02 hours 1.190476e-4 weeks 2.7396e-5 months EOG action statement time is required as redundant equipment remains operable.

b. Incorrect. Plausible because student may believe that redundant equipment is not operable and that Tech Spec 3.0.3 is applicable. They may believe that they are below minimum equipment required as defined in OAP-034.

c. Incorrect. Plausible because these three pumps are supported by the 32 EOG for an emergency power supply. The student may believe that if the emergency power supply is inoperable, then the pumps are automatically declared inoperable and that we do "cascade" tech specs and enter all three technical specifications. Still plausible for the student to believe the 72 hour8.333333e-4 days 0.02 hours 1.190476e-4 weeks 2.7396e-5 months action time, because we are still meeting minimum design requirements.

d. Incorrect. Plausible because the student may believe that redundant equipment is inoperable and that EOG Tech Spec actions A3 and F apply. Tech Specs are not being provided as a reference, so student may believe that actions can't be complied with and therefore MODE 3 in 6 hours6.944444e-5 days 0.00167 hours 9.920635e-6 weeks 2.283e-6 months and MODE 4 in 12 hours1.388889e-4 days 0.00333 hours 1.984127e-5 weeks 4.566e-6 months per 3.8.1.F.

Importance: 4.4 4.6 Question: #22 Given the following conditions:

The Unit is at 100% Power.

R15 SJAE EXH has actuated on the Radiation Monitoring Control Cabinet (RMCC)

3-AOP-SG-1; Steam Generator Tube Leak has been entered and is presently being implemented by the crew.

R-15; Air Ejector Exhaust Gas Activity Monitor has a rising trend.

Chemistry has been requested to perform O-CY-2450; Primary to Secondary Leak.

The crew has initiated Attachment 1 of 3-AOP-SG-1 and has determined an initial estimated Primary-to-Secondary Leakrate of 30 gpd.

Listed below are the first (3) three estimated leakrate determinations recorded by the crew on ; Leak Rate Log.

Current Leakrate (gpd)

Estimate# 1 30 gpd Estimate# 2 32 qpd Estimate# 3 35 aod How often does the estimated leakrate need to be calculated and what radiation monitors are being used to calculate the estimated leakrate?

a. 15 minutes. Radiation Monitors R-15; Air Ejector Exhaust Gas Activity and R-19; Steam Generator Slowdown Liquid Activity.

b. 2 hours2.314815e-5 days 5.555556e-4 hours 3.306878e-6 weeks 7.61e-7 months . Radiation Monitors R-15; Air Ejector Exhaust Gas Activity and R-19; Steam Generator Slowdown Liquid Activity.

c. 2 hours2.314815e-5 days 5.555556e-4 hours 3.306878e-6 weeks 7.61e-7 months . Radiation Monitors R-15; Air Ejector Exhaust Gas Activity and R-63A&S; Gross Failed Fuel Detector.

d. 15 minutes. Radiation Monitors R-15; Air Ejector Exhaust Gas Activity and R-63A&S; Gross Failed Fuel Detector.

Answer: d Explanation I Justification

a. Incorrect. Plausible because first part of distractor is correct, Attachment 2 of 3-AOP-SG-1 states; "If leak increases 2 30 gpd but < 75 gpd take data & determine leakrate every 15 minutes." Also plausible because the student may believe that R-19; SG Slowdown is used in addition to R-15; Air Ejector for determining the estimated leakrate.

b. Incorrect. Plausible because if the leakrate is 2 30 gpg but< 75 gpd and stable for 1 hour1.157407e-5 days 2.777778e-4 hours 1.653439e-6 weeks 3.805e-7 months (::;

5 gpd increase in 1 hour1.157407e-5 days 2.777778e-4 hours 1.653439e-6 weeks 3.805e-7 months ), then the procedure has you take the readings every 2 hours2.314815e-5 days 5.555556e-4 hours 3.306878e-6 weeks 7.61e-7 months .

Because the initial estimate is 2 30 gpd, 15 minute readings are required and the rate of increase is actually 8 - 12 gpd/hr. Also plausible because the student may believe that R-19; SG Slowdown is used in addition to R-15; Air Ejector for determining the estimated leakrate.

c. Incorrect. Plausible because if the leakrate is 2 30 gpg but< 75 gpd and stable for 1 hour1.157407e-5 days 2.777778e-4 hours 1.653439e-6 weeks 3.805e-7 months (::;

5 gpd increase in 1 hour1.157407e-5 days 2.777778e-4 hours 1.653439e-6 weeks 3.805e-7 months ), then the procedure has you take the readings every 2 hours2.314815e-5 days 5.555556e-4 hours 3.306878e-6 weeks 7.61e-7 months .

Because the initial estimate is 2 30 gpd, 15 minute readings are required and the rate of increase is actually 8-12 gpd/hr. Also plausible because the second part of the distractor is correct, R-15 and R-63A&B are used in the estimated leakrate calculation.

d. Correct. Attachment 2 of 3-AOP-SG-1 states; "If leak increases 2 30 gpd but< 75 gpd take data & determine leakrate every 15 minutes." The readings provided have therefore been taken every 15 minutes and the delta leakrate would then be 8-12 gpd/hr and also above the threshold for taking data every 2 hours2.314815e-5 days 5.555556e-4 hours 3.306878e-6 weeks 7.61e-7 months . Finally in accordance with Attachment 1, estimated leakrate calculation method 1, R-15 and R-63A&B are used in the estimated leakrate calculation.

a. Unit Operations Manager.

b. Chemistry Manager.

c. General Manager - Plant Operations.

d. Site Vice President.

Answer: c Explanation I Justification

a. Incorrect. Plausible because the Unit Operations Manager is required to authorize the use of the Quarterly Average Release Rate Limit.

b. Incorrect. Plausible because the student may believe that since the RPM has approval authority over the Radioactive Effluents Control Program (IP-SMM-CY-001) that he would be authorized to provide approval for using a higher release rate.

The LOCA is into the PAB building and a pathway to the environment exists.

Limited makeup to the RWST is available.

An operator has volunteered to go to the PAB building to locally isolate the leak.

The EOF has been fully staffed and operational for an hour.

This action will result in a significant reduction in the offsite dose, protecting a large population.

a. 10 Rem TEDE with SM approval.

b. 25 Rem TEDE with SM approval.

c. 10 Rem TEDE with ED approval.

d. 25 Rem TEDE with ED approval.

Answer: d Explanation I Justification

a. Incorrect. Plausible because 10 Rem is the dose limit for protecting valuable property and the student may believe that 25 Rem is only for life saving (bolded on Form EP-6). Also plausible because the Shift Manager is initially the Emergency Director (ED). However, he would have been relieved by the on duty Emergency Director (ED) at the EOF.

b. Incorrect. Plausible because 25 Rem is the correct dose limit for life saving or the protection of large populations. Also plausible because the Shift Manager is initially the Emergency Director (ED). However, he would have been relieved by the on duty Emergency Director (ED) at the EOF.

c. Incorrect. Plausible because 1O Rem is the dose limit for protecting valuable property and the student may believe that 25 Rem is only for life saving (bolded on Form EP-6). Also plausible because the second part of the distractor is correct.

Unit is at 100% Power.

Rod Power Supply M-G Set 32 is cleared and tagged for motor replacement.

Individual Rod Position Indicating System is powered from backup power supply MCC-39.

A failure of the Station Auxiliary Transformer has just occurred. 32 and 33 EDGs have started and loaded in Blackout Mode. The Control Room receives a number of alarms; including the following annunciator alarms that the BOP Operator believes to be most relevant to the loss of the Station Auxiliary Transformer and requiring action:

STATION AUX XFMR LOCKOUT RELAY TRIPPED

6900 V STATION AUX BREAKER TRIP 52ST5, 52ST6

MOTOR CONTROL CENTER #39 52/MCC9 AUTO TRIP Following the CRS's assessment of plant conditions and prioritization of the above annunciators, which of the following procedures should be implemented by the CRS?

a. 3-AOP-ROD-1; Rod Control and Indications System Malfunction.

b. 3-AOP-138KV-1; Loss of Power to 6.9KV Bus 5 and/or 6.

c. 3-ARP-011; MOTOR CONTROL CENTER #39 52/MCC9 AUTO TRIP.

d. 3-E-O; Reactor Trip or Safety Injection.

Answer: b Explanation I Justification

a. Incorrect. Plausible because the loss of Bus 5A resulted in the loss of MCC-39 which was providing power to the IRPls. This would cause all the IRPls to be inoperable and require placing rod control in Manual immediately IAW Tech Spec 3.1. 7.B. This action is taken per 3-AOP-ROD-1 step 4.136 and proceeding NOTE. However, although this is an immediate action per Tech Specs, step 4.11 of 3-AOP-138KV-1 will perform the same action and that procedure will also handle the bigger issue of loss of off-site power to buses 5A & 6A.

b. Correct. The CRS should recognize that given the existing plant conditions, 3-AOP-138KV-1 will provide the best overall mitigation. Step 4.11 of 3-AOP-138KV-1 will handle the immediate action required for rods in Manual per Tech Spec 3.1.7.B, but will also handle the bigger issue of loss of off-site power to buses 5A & 6A.

c. Incorrect. Plausible because the loss of Bus 5A resulted in the loss of MCC-39 which was providing power to the IRPls. This would cause all the IRPls to be inoperable and require placing rod control in Manual immediately IAW Tech Spec 3.1. 7.B. Student may believe that prioritizing the loss of MCC-39 alarm response procedure is the highest priority action.

However, this alarm response does not reference Tech Spec 3.1. 7.B nor does it require rods to be placed in manual. This is more than likely because MCC-39 is the backup power supply to IRPls. Again, Step 4.11 of 3-AOP-138KV-1 will handle the immediate action required for rods in Manual per Tech Spec 3.1. 7.B, but will also handle the bigger issue of loss of off-site power to buses 5A & 6A.

d. Incorrect. Plausible because the student may believe that the above transient has resulted in a Reactor Trip or requires a Reactor Trip be initiated. The stem of the question states that the IRPls are being powered from MCC-39, the student may believe that a Reactor Trip is required due to not having any IRPI indications. More plausible is that the student may believe that the plant has experienced a loss of power to both Rod Control M-G Sets. Note that 32 M-G set was tagged for motor replacement in the stem, the student may believe that 31 M-G Set is powered by either bus 5A or 6A. Actually, 32 M-G Set is powered from Bus 6A (already O/S) and 31 M-G Set is powered from Bus 2A which is being powered via the Unit Auxiliary Transformer (Main Generator).
