EXAMINATION 2012 ILO Exam - RO 1 ID: RO1 Points: 1.00 The plant is operating at 100% CTP and at the 100% rod line with APRM/OPRM #2 bypassed. The North RR MG Set speed begins to decrease. The scoop tube is locked per 20.138.03 Uncontrolled Recirc Flow Change. No additional actions have been completed.

The following conditions are observed:

3D107 OPRM INOP is alarming

Total Rated Core flow is 40%

What action is required and the basis for this action? (see attached Power-to-Flow Map)

A. Increase core flow to restore operation outside the "Exit" Region Sufficient margin may not be available for the operator response to suppress potential power oscillations.

B. Insert control rods to restore operation outside the "Exit" Region.

Sufficient margin may not be available for the operator response to suppress potential power oscillations.

C. Trip the North RR MG Set because the change of >10% could cause concerns with MCPR and possible fuel cladding failure due to PCI failure. D. Place Reactor Mode Switch in SHUTDOWN to terminate the potential for unacceptable power oscillations.

Answer: D Answer Explanation:

With the OPRM inoperable and the reactor operating in the "Scram" region or if the core thermal-hydraulic instability is detected, then unacceptable power oscillations may result. Therefore, the reactor mode switch must be immediately placed in the shutdown position to terminate the potential for unacceptable power oscillations.

ILO EXAM Page: 3 of 174 17 January 2012 EXAMINATION 2012 ILO Exam - RO 2 ID: R02 Points: 1.00 Following a loss of 120 KV, both EDG 11 and EDG 12 are running and loaded. What is the status of the ESF 130VDC Electrical Distribution System, and what actions, if any, are required to restore?

A. Both DIV 1 and DIV 2 130VDC Chargers continue to supply loads. No operator actions required.

B. DIV 1 130VDC Batteries and DIV 2 130VDC Chargers continue to supply loads. Place tripped Div 1 130VDC Battery Chargers in OFF/RESET, then ON.

C. DIV 1 130VDC Chargers and DIV 2 130VDC Batteries continue to supply loads. Place tripped Div 2 130VDC Battery Chargers in OFF/RESET, then ON.

D. Both DIV 1 and DIV 2 130VDC Batteries continue to supply loads.

Place tripped DIV1 and Div 2 130VDC Battery Chargers in OFF/RESET, then ON.

Answer: B Answer Explanation:

Div 1 130VDC Battery Chargers 2A-1 and 2A1-2 are both powered from MCC 72B-2A and Battery Charger 2A-1 is powered from MCC 72C-3A, which are i mmediately powered by the EDGs. Upon the initial loss of power the CR1 relay will drop out preventing the automatic restart of the battery charger. Therefore once the EDGs supplies power to the busses, all that is required to restart the battery chargers are to take the CMC to Off/Reset.

ILO EXAM Page: 8 of 174 17 January 2012 EXAMINATION 2012 ILO Exam - RO 4 ID: R04 Points: 1.00 Following a MANUAL Reactor Scram from 50% power, the following conditions are observed in IPCS:

ALL Turbine Control Valves are SHUT.

Generator Megawatts on has just reached ZERO.

The Main Generator Exciter Field Breaker is CLOSED.

BOTH Main Generator output breakers are CLOSED.

Based on these conditions, which one of the following Turbine Generator Trip signals will initiate?

A. Loss of Field B. Reverse Power C. Generator Differential D. Negative Phase Sequence Answer: B Answer Explanation:

With TCVs SHUT, no steam is being supplied to the Turbine Generator. The Generator is still connected to the grid and will begin motoring. Reverse Power will be sensed by this condition and will generate a Turbine Generator Trip when the 67 relay is energized. Breaker position must be looked up in SOER.

Both Feedwater Pumps Tripped.

The reactor automatically scrammed.

One Control Rod is at position 48. All other Control Rods are fully inserted.

RCIC is isolated.

HPCI initiation RAISED RPV Water Level from 110 inches. HPCI was manually tripped as RPV Water Level reached 210 inches.

Plant conditions are currently:

Reactor pressure 700 psig, rising at 10 psig per minute.

MSIVs are OPEN.

The operating CRD Pump tripped.

What is the expected RPV Water Level response over the next ten minutes, and what action will be required?

Over the next ten minutes, RPV Water Level will A. RISE due to swell. It is required to allow steam off to lower RPV Water Level BELOW 214 inches.

B. LOWER due to shrink. It is required to use HPCI to maintain RPV Water Level ABOVE 173.4 inches.

C. LOWER due to shrink. It is required to use only RCIC to maintain RPV Water Level ABOVE 0 inches.

D. RISE due to swell. It is required to TERMINATE AND PREVENT Injection Systems to lower RPV Water Level BELOW 114 inches.

Answer: A Answer Explanation:

HPCI injected (100 inches x 200 gal per inch) 20,000 gallons of cold CST water.

As this water is heated, SWELL occurs. It is required to maintain RPV Water level below Level 8 (214 inches). The SRO is required to direct operators to allow steaming to lower RPV Water Level. Shrink cannot occur because heatup and pressurization of saturated system is in progress with NO steam voids. All SRVs and TBVs are shut for the next ten minutes because reactor pressure will be below 800 psig.

How would the Station Air System respond if TBCCW cooling capabilities have degraded?

A. The West Station Air Compressor will trip on high air temperature and the East Compressor will auto start once air header pressure is <95 psig and run until it trips on high air temperature.

B. The West Station Air Compressor will trip on high air temperature and the East Compressor will auto start once air header pressure is <95 psig and run. C. The West Station Air Compressor will trip on high air temperature and the East Compressor will auto start once air header pressure is <90 psig and run. D. The West Station Air Compressor will trip on high air temperature and the East Compressor will auto start immediately and run until it trips on high air temperature.

Answer: B Answer Explanation:

With TBCCW cooling capabilities degraded, the discharge air temperature of the compressor will cause it to trip at 125°F. Once air header pressure lowers to 95 psig, the East will auto start and continue to run. The East compressor does not have a high air temperature trip.

The Reactor Operator could determine that a stuck collet piston was causing this malfunction, by which of the following methods:

A. Insert the control rod one notch at a time and observe the rod remains at a given position.

B. Fully withdraw the rod with the NOTCH OVERRIDE switch, then observe the rod commence to slowly drift inward.

C. Electrically disarm the directional control valves, manually close C 11-F113 (Charging Water Isol Valve) and observe the rod stops drifting.

D. Manually close C11-F103 (Drive Water Isol Valve) and C11-F105 (Exhaust Water Isol Valve) and observe the rod commence to drift out.

Answer: D Answer Explanation:

By closing the F103 and the F105, the drive water and exhaust water are isolated.

This would eliminate the force on the under and over piston areas and confirm the collet is stuck.

As CRS, what action shall you direct FIRST, and reason for this action?

A. After a brief, place the Reactor Mode switch in SHUTDOWN. This will reduce the energy being discharged into secondary containment and prevent automatic scram on MSIV closure.

B. Immediately shut MSIVs. This will prevent a primary system from discharging into secondary containment.

C. At 1408, place the Reactor Mode Switch in SHUTDOWN. Required action due to exceeding max safe temperature, protecting plant equipment.

D. At 1420, open 5 SRVs (ADS preferred). This will reduce the energy being discharged into secondary containment (two area temperatures greater than max safe).

2012 ILO Exam Comments:

Justification:

B. is plausible; this is a valid action, but would cause an automatic scram, so the mode switch is taken to shutdown prior to this action.

C. is plausible; based on the leak rate, steam tunnel temperate would be 210F. This is the max safe temperature. EOPs direct you to place mode switch in shutdown prior to reaching this temperature. You would also get a MSIV isolation at this time.

D. is plausible; at 1408, the reactor would scram on MSIV closure. At 1420, you would get your second area temperature >max safe, requiring an ED.

A. Automatic operation of Div 1 CSS will be inhibited but manual injection remains functional. Core Spray Loop A is NOT required because Core Spray Loop B satisfies the Technical Specification LCO 3.5.1 indefinitely in the present mode.

B. Automatic and manual operation of Div 1 CSS will be inhibited. Core Spray is required to be OPERABLE in the present MODE. Div 1 CSS must be restored within 7 days.

C. Automatic and manual operation of Div 1 CSS remain functional. Core Spray Loop A is assured to produce the required flow and satisfies the Technical Specification LCO 3.5.1 indefinitely.

D. Automatic and manual operation of Div 1 CSS remain functional but E2150-F031A, DIV 1 CS Pumps MM Flow Valve, Auto closes. Core Spray Loop A is NOT assured to produce the required flow. Div 1 CSS must be restored in 72 hours8.333333e-4 days 0.02 hours 1.190476e-4 weeks 2.7396e-5 months .

Answer: B Answer Explanation:

The alarms indicate that the DC power to CSS Logic A has had a failure. This will prevent Automatic and Manual injection of Div 1 CSS. The pumps can be manually started but the injection valves are incapable of opening. Both divisions of CSS are required to be operable in Mode 2 and a 7 day LCO must be entered.
