EXAMINER: Since the steam dump controls are in STEAM PRESSURE mode at this time, the SRO may elect to:
1.) Not reset C-7 interlock OR 2.) Direct the BOP to place the steam dump controls in OFF prior to resetting C-7.
- 13. ENSURE reset of C-7:
- a. CHECK C-7 LOSS OF LOAD STM DUMP INTERLOCK annunciator LIT. [66-E]
BOP will verify C-7 LOSS OF LOAD STM DUMP INTERLOCK (66-E) is LIT.
- b. ENSURE steam dump valves have zero demand.
BOP will verify STEAM DUMP DEMAND 1-XI-1-33 indicates zero. Since BOP 1-PT-1-73 failed LOW, and Steam Dumps are in STM PRESS Mode, there is a large Tavg-Tref mismatch in the control circuit, which would cause the valves to open when the1-HS-1-103D is passed through the Tavg mode. BOP should discuss options with SRO.
- c. RESET loss-of-load interlock with steam dump mode switch.
BOP will rotate STEAM DUMP MODE switch 1-HS-1-103D to the left and verify C-7 LOSS OF LOAD STM DUMP INTERLOCK (66-E) is DARK.

Description:
Loss of Secondary Heat Sink occurs, requiring performance of 1-FR-H.1, Loss of Secondary Heat Sink. Requires Standby Main Feedwater pump to be placed in service to restore the heat sink.
Time Position Applicants Actions or Behavior EXAMINER: The following actions are taken from 1-FR-H.1, Appendix A, Establishing MFW following Reactor Trip.
CAUTION
- 1) Rx trip breakers must be cycled to allow reset of MFW when isolated by SI or HI-HI S/G level or Valve Vault Room level switches.
- 2) If any valid SI signal has occurred since SI reset, cycling Rx trip breakers may initiate SI actuation, if signal has NOT yet been blocked by IMs.
A. ENSURE MFW reg valves controllers in MANUAL, AND SET to ZERO demand.
BOP locates 1-FIC-3-35, SG 1-MFW REG VLV, transfers the controller to manual by depressing the AUTO/MANUAL pushbutton and BOP observing the YELLOW light for MAN LIT. The BOP depresses and holds the RAMP pushbutton and the << pushbutton simultaneously until the controller display indicates the valve is closed.
BOP locates each of the remaining Main Feed Reg valve controllers and performs the actions for each valve.
B. ENSURE bypass reg valves controllers in MANUAL, AND SET to ZERO demand.
BOP locates 1-FIC-3-35A, SG 1-MFW BYPASS REG CONTROL, transfers the controller to manual by depressing the AUTO/MANUAL pushbutton and observing the YELLOW light foe MAN LIT. The BOP BOP depresses and holds the RAMP pushbutton and the << pushbutton simultaneously until the controller display indicates the valve is closed.
BOP locates each of the remaining MFW BYPASS REG CONTROL controllers and performs the actions for each valve.
C. WHEN SI signals blocked OR cleared, THEN CYCLE reactor trip breakers to allow MFW Isolation reset.
BOP SRO determines that since no SI has occurred, the reactor trip breakers DO NOT have to be cycled to allow the MFW isolation to be RESET.
