A. (Incorrect) While 20" to 40" is the normal SG level with RCPs running , RCPs are off so this level is too low. B. (Correct) OTSGs should be refilled to between 300 and 340".

C. (Incorrect) 370" to 410" is the reflux boiling OTSG level for inadequate SCM, but SCM is given as adequate. As long as SCM is adequate then this higher level should not be attempted due to problems with possible overfill and tube to shell DT concerns.

D. (Incorrect) Initiate HPI cooling per RT

-4 is required by the contingency action for step 5 if RCS pressure became excessive or any form of secondary feed was not expected to be available, but the conditions state that buses are energized so AFW should be available.

- Loss of Secondary Heat Sink: Knowledge of the operational implications of EOP warnings, cautions, and notes.

Proposed Question:

Unit 1 was at 100 percent power, normal li neup. Given: CETs are 610°F, RCS pressure is 1400 psig.

A Loss of Offsite Power occurred and both EFW pumps could not be started.

The crew has just entered 1202.005, "Inadequate Core Cooling".

The following conditions exist:

A3 and A4 are energized by their respective Diesel Generators EFW pump P

-7B is now available HPI pumps P

-36A and P-36C have been started; and full flow has been verified (RT

-3) In accordance with 1202.005, which of the following actions is required next?

The plant has the following conditions:

The reactor has been tripped 3 Control Rods failed to fully insert The Control Room Supervisor (CRS) directs the At the Controls (ATC) operator to perform Emergency Boration per Repetitive Task 12 (RT 12)

Boric Acid Pump P39A and P3 9B have been started The RUN key has been depressed on the Batch Controller Batch Controller Flow Control Valve CV

-1249 is fully open The ATC operator observes that the Batch Controller output rate is 3 gpm. Per procedure 1202.012, "Repetitive Tasks," the ATC operator should FIRST:

A. Close CV-1250, Batch Controller Outlet B. Open CV-1251, Condensate to Batch Controller C. Secure P39A and P39B Boric Acid Pumps D. Adjust pressurizer level control set point to 220" Proposed Answer:

__C___ Explanation (Optional): Per 1202.012, "Repetitive Tasks," RT 12, Step 1.I., if the Batch Controller output rate is less than 5 gpm, the first action is to secure running Boric Acid pumps. "C" is correct.

"A" is incorrect because although it would be plausible to adjust flow rate with this, it conflicts with direction in RT 12.

CV-1251, the Condensate to Batch Controller valve, is closed in RT 12, Step 1.C. "B" is incorrect.

Adjusting the pressurizer level control set point is a step completed later in the procedure if the Batch Controller output rate was equal to or greater than 5 gpm (RT 12, Step 1.J). "D" is incorrect.

Explanation (Optional): Per LCO 3.4.3, RCS cooldown rates shall be maintained within the limits specified in Figure 3.4.3

-2. Note 4 on Figure 3.4.3

-2 states the RCS cooldown rate and step cooldown rate limits. With RCS temperature greater than or equal to 280F, the maximum cooldown rate is 100F/hour, or a maximum step change of 50F in any 1/2 hour. From 1400 to 1430, the step cooldown rate change was 60F, and from 1430 to 1445 the change was 13F, which is still cooling down at a rate which exceeds the cooldown limits. Therefore, LCO 3.4.3, Condition B requires that the cooldown parameters be restored to within limits within 30 minutes. "B" is correct.

Answers "A" and "C" are required to be addressed per plant procedure 1103.015, Step 7.5.1, to restore the SDM to equal to or more negative than

-Specifications require that the SDM be maintained at

-

5.5. Therefore, no action on this is required by the Technical Specifications with this condition. "A" and "C" are incorrect.

The action in answer "D" is correct, but the completion time stated is not in accordance with LCO 3.4.3, Condition B.

Proposed Question:. Given the following:

SCM has been lost ESAS has actuated HPI has been stopped LPI is injecting 1202.010 ESAS has been entered RCS pressure has just dropped below 140 psig Boric Water Storage Tank has just reached six feet in level

What is the NEXT required operator action and the MAXIMUM allowed time to perform this action? A. Isolate Core Flood Tank outlet valves; ten minutes B. Align LPI pump suction to RB sump; ten minutes C. Isolate Core Flood Tank outlet valves; three minutes

D. Align LPI pump suction to RB sump; three minutes Proposed Answer:

__D__ Explanation: Isolating CFT outlet valves is not a time critical operator action and is not the NEXT required operator action when BWST reaches six feet. BWST level is the driving parameter and must be accomplished within three minutes once the level has reached six feet. RCS pressure dropping below 140 psig does drive isolating CFT outlet valves but with LPI injecting, the cooldown and depressurization can continue no matter the status of these valves.

Proposed Question:

Unit One is operating at 100% power.

An ICS malfunction causes Tave to rise 2°F.

What is the effect on the Pressurizer, including level and pressure, during this transient?

a. PZR level will rise to a higher steady state level. RCS pressure will drop to a lower value initially.

b. PZR level will rise to a higher steady state level. RCS pressure will rise to a higher value initially.

c. Makeup flow will rise to restore Pressurizer level to setpoint. RCS pressure will drop to a lower value initially

d. Makeup flow will drop to restore Pressurizer level to setpoint. RCS pressure will rise to a higher value initially.

Answer:

d. Makeup flow will drop to restore Pressurizer level to setpoint. RCS pressure will rise to a higher value initially.

Explanation:

Answer [d] is correct since an increase in RCS temperature will swell PZR level and RCS pressure. This causes CV

-1235 to close to maintain PZR level at setpoint, therefore Makeup flow will drop.

Answer [a], [b], [c] are options that the candidate might choose if he cannot recall proper system response. Technical Reference(s):

Proposed Question:

The reactor is in the process of being started up with the following conditions:

All four RCPs are running.

The power range instruments indicate reactor power is approximately 12%.

The high startup rate rod hold for Intermediate Range Detector IR 3 has faile d to trip. Given these conditions; A. A rod hold will occur if the Source Range Instruments sense a startup rate of 2 decades per minute.

B. A rod hold will occur if the Intermediate Range Instruments sense a startup rate of 3 decades per minute.

C. The high start up rate rod hold has been bypassed.

D. The high start up rate rod hold will inhibit rod withdrawal until IR 3 is repaired or bypassed. Proposed Answer:

___C__ Explanation (Optional):

The RPS high startup rate hold interlock prevents rod withdrawal on a high startup rate. This block is bypassed if one of two conditions exist; if reactor power, as sensed by the PR detectors, is greater than 10% or if IR indicated power is greater than 1 x E

-9 amps. Even though the IR high startup rate bistable failed to trip, since PR reactor power is greater than 10%, the high startup rate rod hold interlock has been bypassed making distractor C correct. Distractors A and B would both be correct if PR power was less than 10%. Distractor D is incorrect because a single failure will not actuate the rod hold interlock.

Given: Reactor has tripped.

RCS pressure 1200 psig Reactor Building pressure 20 psia

What would be the consequences if the Reactor Building Cooler Chilled Water Bypass Dampers remained latched?

a. RB cooling fan motors would overheat

b. Excessive heat load on the Chilled Water System

c. Damage to RB ventilation plenum from excessive pressure

d. Inadequate cooling of the RB atmosphere Answer: d. Inadequate cooling of the RB atmosphere Explanation:

"a" is incorrect, the current on the motors, with subsequent overheating, is not a concern in this situation.

"b" is incorrect, the Chilled Water System is isolated on ESAS and therefore no additional heat load will be placed on it.

"c" is incorrect, RB ventilation plenum has been analyzed for these conditions and it will withstand the pressures after an ESAS.

"d" is the correct answer, the bypass dampers drop to allow more flow through the Service Water coils by bypassing the Chilled Water coils and thus more cooling to the RB atmosphere.

Per the Technical Specification Bases, the PRIMARY reason for maintaining Technical Specification Limiting Condition for Operation cooldown limits for the reactor coolant system (RCS) from hot shutdown conditions using the main steam system IS:

A. To ensure RCS pressure/temperature limits remain within the design basis accident analysis B. To ensure RCS pressure/temperature limits remain within ASME code requirements

C. To avoid pressurizer thermal shock and possible pressurizer failure

D. To avoid conditions that might cause brittle fracture of the Reactor vessel Proposed Answer:

___D___ Explanation (Optional):

Answer D the correct answer.

Answer A is incorrect. The Tech Spec Bases state that the P/T limits are not derived from Design Basis Accident (DBA) analyses.

Answer B is incorrect. The Tech Spec bases only state that the ASME Code,Section XI, Appendix E (Ref. 10) provides a recommended methodology for evaluating an operating event that causes an excursion outside the limits.

Answer C is incorrect. The Tech Spec bases specifically indicate that the limits do not apply to the pressurizer.

Which of the following Instrument Air (IA) indications in the control room require the initiation of a reactor trip?

A. PMS Point P5409 (Unit 1 IA pressure) reads 58 psig B. "INST AIR HEADER PRESS LO" alarm comes in C. PMS Point P3013 (Unit 2 IA pressure) reads 40 psig D. INSTRUMENT AIR HEADER PRESS (PI

-5409) reads 25 psig Proposed Answer:

___D___ Explanation (Optional): Per procedure 1203.024, Section 3, a reactor trip is required when Instrument Air header pressure is equal to or less than 35 psig. PMS Point P5409 does provide indication of IA header pressure in the control room, but the pressure provided is greater than 35 psig ("A" is incorrect). The receipt of the "INST AIR HEADER PRESS LO" alarm occurs when IA header pressure is less than 75 psig. By itself, it drives the operators to implement procedure 1203.024 (per procedure 1203.012K, K12

-B3), but the indication itself does not require a reactor trip ("B" is incorrect). PMS Point P3013 is an indication of ANO Unit 2 IA header pressure. Since the Unit 1 and Unit 2 headers are normally cross

-connected, it is plausible that this could be a valid indication. However, the pressure indicated is not equal to or below 35 psig ("C" is incorrect). PI

-5409 reading less than 35 psig is the only indication which meets the criteria for a reactor trip. Therefore, "D" is correct.

Proposed Question: During plant startup, the Condenser Vacuum System is being started up per procedure 1106.010, "Vacuum System Operations." Preparations for both Condenser Vacuum Pumps C

-5A and C-5B, including setting the position of the pump inlet valves, are in progress. C-5A is started, with C

-5B in auto standby During the initial run of C

-5A, the pump's amperage is 165 A The pump's air flow is 33 scfm Pump inlet valve V

-5A is currently 2 turns open Per procedure 1106.010, what action should be taken?

A. Open V-5A an additional turn B. Fully open V

-5A C. Close V-5A a part turn D. Fully close V

-5A Proposed Answer:

__C____

Explanation (Optional): Per STM 1

-22, Section 2.6.5, the inlet valves to the Condenser Vacuum Pumps are throttled open to limit the amount of current drawn during initial high flow conditions. The throttle position of the inlet valve is adjusted open during drawing of Main Condenser vacuum to maintain either air flow less than 30 scfm or pump amperage less than 150 A. Steps 7.10 and 7.11 of procedure 1106.010 address how to control the inlet valve position during startup. In the given conditions, the system air flow is not within specification (less than 30 scfm), and the pump amperage is greater than the maximum rating (150 A). Therefore, the pump's inlet valve needs to throttled closed in order to reduce the pump amperage to less than 150 A. Therefore, answer C is correct.

Answers A and B are plausible if the applicant believes the pump's air flow and amperage are within specification, or if he/she believes there are no specific controls on air flow/amperage. If that would be the case, the operator would continue to open the inlet valve until it is fully open.

However, opening the inlet valve partially or to full open in this case would cause the pump amperage to increase further above the maximum rating. Therefore, they are incorrect.

Answer D is plausible if the applicant believes that the amperage needs to be reduced as quickly as possible. However, procedure 1106.010, Step 7.2, aligns C

-5A for start up with a minimum one

-half turn open on valve V

-5A. Closing the valve completely would cause the pump to lose all suction, and is contrary to procedure. Therefore, it is incorrect.

-463 panels B. Depress the TRIP button for bearing #2/3 to the right of C

-420 C. Break glass and rotate the manual handle for bearing #2/3 to OPEN D. Depress the SPURT button for bearing #2/3 to the right of C

-420 Proposed Answer:

___C__ Explanation (Optional):

Distractor A is incorrect because although the suppression systems can be manually actuated from the C

-463 panels, the CO2 system can only be actuated locally. Distractor B is incorrect because with no indicating lights lit on C

-420 there is no power available for the trip button to function.

Distractor C is correct because the master pilot solenoid will fail open on loss of power, so the Inside AO only has to manually operate the solenoid for the affected zone.

ANO Unit 1 is operating in Mode 1 The Unit 1 Shift Manager passes out, and medical assistance is requested A replacement Shift Manager has been contacted at home and will report onsite to take the watch within the hour During the time period before the replacement takes watch, per procedure 1903.010, "Emergency Action level Classification," who has the FIRST responsibility of Emergency Direction and Control if an event were to occur at Unit 1?

A. The Unit 1 Shift Technical Advisor B. The Unit 2 Shift Manager C. The Unit 1 Control Room Supervisor D. The Technical Support Center Director

Proposed Answer:

__C__

Explanation (Optional): Per procedure 1903.010, Section 5.2, if the unit Shift Manager is not available to assume his/her Emergency Direction and Control responsibility, the unit Control Room Supervisor (CRS) will assume this responsibility until a replacement Shift Manager arrives. Therefore, answer C is correct.

Answer A is plausible because the person filling this position assists the Shift Manager in EAL classifications and notifications, and may be an individual who is licensed as a SRO. However, per procedure 1903.010, Section 5.2, this is incorrect.

Answer B is plausible because the unit Shift Managers both implement actions in procedure 1903.010 during events, so it may be perceived that they are an acceptable replacement while the incoming Shift Manager heads to the site. However, this is incorrect.

Answer D is plausible because this is one of the positions that is filled when the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) is activated, and this individual may assume Emergency Direction and Control responsibilities during the course of an event. However, this individual is not manning the TSC on a continuous basis to perform this role whenever an event occurs.

Therefore, the responsibility falls to the on shift CRS, as directed in procedure 1903.010.

Cause of RCP failure.

The plant is at 90% with current identified RCS leakage of 1.0 gpm.

All other plant parameters are normal and as expected.

Subsequently the following occur:

RCP VIBRATION HI (K08

-B6) alarms.

The plant computer shows a low oil reservoir for RCP P32B.

P32B indicates motor bearing temperature is 168ºF.

All other RCP motor bearing temperatures are normal.

As Control Room Supervisor you direct operators to "Reactor Coolant Pump and Motor Emergency," 1203.31, Section _____________ and the correct action for plant conditions is

____________.

A. 5, Motor/Bearing Trouble; initiate reactor building entry to add oil to the reservoir B. 2, Seal Failure; trip RCP 32B and verify proper ICS response C. 5, Motor/Bearing Trouble; trip RCP 32B and verify proper ICS response D. 2, Seal Failure; trip RCP 32B and perform immediate actions for reactor trip

Proposed Answer:

___A___

Explanation (Optional):

A. Correct. Entry conditions for Section 5 are met (Annunciator RCP VIBRATION HI (K08

-B6), and per step 2, "2. IF RCP motor bearing temperature exceeds 190°F (167°F for P32B) AND associated RCP oil reservoir is low, THEN initiate reactor building entry to add oil to reservoir.

" B. Incorrect. Entry conditions are not met for Section 2. Plausible because one of the required conditions for entry to section 2 is pressure behavior. But RCS leakage is 1.0 gpm in the given conditions, TS 3.4.13 allows 10 gpm of identified leakage and the initial condition of all other plant parameters are normal means that section 2 entry conditions are not met. In addition, at 9 5% power if a RCP were to be tripped iaw section 2, the reactor likely would not trip. Therefore, part 2 of this answer is also plausible.

C. Incorrect. Plausible because Section 5 is correct. However, trip RCP 32B and verify proper ICS response is from section 2. The candidate would have to know that for a high vibration alarm additional criteria must be met to trip the RCP.

D. Incorrect. Section 2 is not correct (see answer B explanation). Also, Note in section 3 states that if 1 RCP were tripped from 92% power, then a reactor trip may trip on high power/flow/imbalance. If the candidate does not know this note then tripping from 91% power is plausible. Therefore, the actions for reactor trip will seem plausible.

_4.0 _ _____ Loss of Main Feedwater (MFW): 2.4.35 Knowledge of local auxiliary operator tasks during an emergency and the resultant operational effects.

Proposed Question:

Reactor power is 15% and Main Feedwater Pump (MFWP) P-1A is out of service while the thrust bearing wear detector is being replaced. Then the following sequence of events takes place: The MFW P-1B Main Oil Pump trips and both standby oil pumps auto start Both MFW P

-1B standby oil pumps trip about a minute later The "B MFP TURBINE TRIP" (K07

-A8) alarm annunciates The control room operators report MFW P

-1B has failed to trip and they are unable to trip it from C02.

Indicated total feed flow is zero.

S/G levels are now 30" and lowering.

The Inside Auxiliary Operator (IAO) is directed to locally trip MFWP 1B.

Based on this sequence of events and assuming all the other plant equipment operated as designed, the CRS should:

A. Immediately trip the reactor and implement EOP 1202.001, Reactor Trip.

B. Trip the reactor when S/G level reaches 15" and enter EOP 1202.001, Reactor Trip.

C. Manually actuate EFW per 1203.027, Loss of S/G Feed, and stabilize S/G level.

D. Enter Procedure 1203.027, Loss of S/G Feed, when the IAO locally trips MFW P 1B Proposed Answer:

__A____ Explanation (Optional):

Note: Because feedpump 1B is not tripped, a reactor trip will not occur until the IAO trips the pump locally even though both pumps are functionally failed.

A. Per AOP 1203.027, if both feedpumps are lost and power is greater than 7%, immediately trip the reactor and enter EOP 1202.001.

B. This is also contained in AOP 1203.027, however on the loss of both feedpumps the reactor should be tripped immediately.

C. This step is also in AOP 1203, however the reactor should be tripped immediately and the AOP is exited before reaching this step.

D. When the IAO locally trips the feedpump, the reactor will automatically trip and the crew would then enter the EOP. However, with both feedpumps functionally failed, the reactor should be tripped immediately. Technical Reference(s):

_____ __4.7_ 058 GENERIC 2.2.40, Loss of DC Power: Ability to apply Technical Specifications for a system. Proposed Question:

[Provide Tech Specs 3.8.6 and 3.8.4 as references]

Given: The unit is operating at 100% power.

At 0900 on February 18, 2013 , it was discovered that one connected cell's float voltage on D06 was determined to be 2.02 V.

At 1000 on February 18, 2013 , it was discovered that one connected cell's float voltage on D07 was determined to be 2.07 V.

Based on the above conditions, Technical Specifications require the unit to be in MODE 3 no later than what time?

A. 0500 on February 20, 2013 B. 0500 on February 19, 2013

C. 1700 on February 18, 2013

D. 1600 on February 18, 2013 Proposed Answer:

__C___ Explanation (Optional):

SR 3.8.6.1 is to "Verify battery cell parameters meet Table 3.8.6

-1 Category A limits."

Table 3.8.6

-1 Category A has a limit of >= 2.13 V, which both batteries violate. Further, Category C has a limit for connected battery cells

> 2.07 V. Both D06 and D07 therefore violate this limit as well.

At 0900 the crew enters LCO 3.8.6.B.1, and declares D06 INOP. This also causes an entry into LCO 3.8.4.A.1 for one DC train INOP, which allows 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> to restore D06 to operable status if no other failures were to occur.

At 1000 the crew separately enters LCO 3.8.6.B.1 for D07 as allowed by the Action Note, and declares D07 INOP. Tech Spec 3.8.4 has no LCO for multiple DC trains Inoperable, therefore at 1000 the crew also enters LCO 3.0.3, which requires the unit to be in MODE 3 within 7 hours8.101852e-5 days <br />0.00194 hours <br />1.157407e-5 weeks <br />2.6635e-6 months <br />. The unit must be in MODE 3 no later than 1700 with both DC electrical power subsystems inoperable.

A) Incorrect. An applicant would select this if they incorrectly allowed 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> between entry into LCO 3.8.6.A and entry into LCO 3.8.6.B, and incorrectly evaluated D07 as operable (D07 must be GREATER THAN 2.07V to meet Category C limits).

B) Incorrect. An applicant would select this if they did not recognize that an LCO 3.0.3 entry was required due to 2 DC trains INOP.

C) Correct. D) Incorrect. An applicant would select this if they incorrectly calculated the LCO 3.0.3 entry time starting at 0900 instead of 1000.

___ _4.2___ K/A Statement: [028 Pressurizer (PZR) Level Control Malfunction] Ability to diagnose and recognize trends in an accurate and timely manner utilizing the appropriate control room reference material.

Proposed Question:

On March 3, 2013, the plant is preparing for startup following refueling

. RCS temperature is 525°F.

RCS pressure is 21 70 psig and slowly rising

. Preparations are being made to withdraw control rods.

At 1300, the following conditions occur:

"PZR LEVEL HI/HI" alarm is in LT-1001 (controlling channel) reads 280", increasing at 2"/minute

With no operator action taken, what Technical Specification LCO action would be required using the MAXIMUM amount of time allowed to restore the Pressurizer to operable status?

A. Restore pressurizer level within limits by 1400 B. Place the plant in Mode 3 by 1920 C. Place the plant in Mode 3 by 2000 D. Restore pressurizer level within limits by 1420 Proposed Answer:

___D___ Explanation (Optional):

Per Technical Specification 3.4.9, Condition A, when the pressurizer level is equal to or exceeds its limit (320"), action is required to restore pressurizer level to less than the limit within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />.

At the rate of level increase stated (2"/minute), with no operator action, level would reach 320" in 20 minutes. Therefore the LCO action statement would be in effect at 1320, meaning that the plant has until 1420 to address restoring pressurizer level (application of LCO 3.0.2). Therefore, answer D is correct.

Answer A is plausible because of the rising pressurizer level. However, the Tech Spec pressurizer level hasn't been exceeded yet, so the time requirement is incorrect.

If actions to restore the pressurizer level to within specification were unsuccessful, there is a requirement to be in Mode 3 in 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />. However, the Tech Specs require the efforts to restore pressurizer level first. In addition, the time stated would be incorrect (1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> TS requirement completed by 1420, if not, Mode 3 by 2020). Therefore, answer B is incorrect.

Answer C is plausible because there was a failure associated with the pressurizer heaters given in the stem. However, this results in the loss of HUB 13 heaters, which are not required to meet Tech Spec 3.4.9 requirements (Banks 1, 2, and HUB 14). Therefore, it is incorrect.

With the statement in the stem "with no operator action," the intent is to keep the applicant from assuming that a reactor trip would be manually initiated at 290" pressurizer level per procedure 1203.012H, Alarm K09

-B3 response.

Proposed Question:

Following an outage, the reactor has been started up and is now operating at rated thermal power. A system engineer calls the control room and informs the crew three Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) valves in one ECCS train were not tested during the outage as required by Technical Specification (TS) Surveillance Requirement 3.5.2.3 (provided).

The three valves were last tested 20 months ago and one of the valves is inaccessible with the reactor at power.

A mid-cycle outage is scheduled to occur in 12 months.

The control room crew:

A. Is required to immediately enter TS 3.5.2.A.

B. Is required to enter TS 3.5.2.A when the 25% "grace period" expires.

C. Can delay entering TS 3.5.2.A for a maximum of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> from the time of discovery if a risk assessment is performed and the risk is managed. Entry is then required.

D. Can delay entering TS 3.5.2.A until the mid

Proposed Question: The plant is in Mode 6 and refueling is in progress. The Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) level is 23

.5 feet over the top of the irradiated fuel assemblies in the storage racks.

Is the SFP inoperable or operable, and why?

A. The SFP is Operable; 23 feet is the minimum level allowed by Technical Specifications because this level will provide adequate shielding for a fuel element failure following a fuel handling accident if the storage racks are 95% full.

B. The SFP is Inoperable; the minimum level allowed by Technical Specifications is >23 feet because that level is required to provide adequate shielding against beta particles from the decay of Thorium

-232 (decay heat).

C. The SFP is Operable; 23 feet is the minimum level allowed by Technical Specifications because this level meets the assumptions of iodine decontamination factors following a fuel handling accident.

D. The SFP is Inoperable; the minimum level allowed by Technical Specifications is >23 feet because this level is required to provide adequate shielding against decay heat and gammas released through decay chains following a fuel handling accident.

Proposed Answer:

___C___ Explanation (Optional):

A. Incorrect. Plausible because 23 feet is the TS minimum, but fuel element failure is incorrect; the basis for min level also assumes the storage racks are completely full.

B. Incorrect. Plausible because >23 feet is close to -232 does undergo beta decay. Wrong because the level requirement is not for Th decay.

C. Correct. 23 feet is correct as is the level is for meeting assumptions of iodine decontamination factors following a fuel handling incident.

D. Incorrect. Plausible because >23 feet is close to chains occur independent of a fuel handling accident.
