RESPONSE
Justification:
A. Incorrect but plausible if the operator uses the power flow map, then plant is in manual scram zone.
B. Correct: plant is in the buffer zone. Per AOP-8 exit restricted zone by raising recirc flow or lower power by inserting cram rods.
C. Incorrect: because AOP-8 requires the restricted zone to be exited and directs actions to either raise recirc flow or lower power by inserting the cram rods to 00.
This answer is plausible because it would have the operator exit the restricted zone however it is not correct because it is not required to shutdown the reactor.
D. Incorrect: because AOP-8 requires the restricted zone to be exited and directs actions to either raise recirc flow or lower power by inserting the cram rods to 00.

K&A Statement: Knowledge of the reasons for the following responses as they apply to PARTIAL OR COMPLETE LOSS OF D.C. POWER:
REACTOR SCRAM Justification: Per AOP-45 , Loss of DC Power System 'A- Section C- AUTOMATIC A. Incorrect but plausible: Loss of DC power system1 A affects Rx Wtr Lvi 06U-94A
& C, not RX WTR LVL 06U-94B, which is the normal selected column.
B. Incorrect but plausible: Rx would have scrammed clue to response noted in the Correct not RX WTR LVL 06L1-94B, which is the normal selected column. answer prior to any MSIV closure caused by loss of both DC & AC control power. To lose power to the Inboard MSIV solenoids would require 29AOV-80A-D MSIV DC Inboard Solenoids powered from 71 DC-A2 (~29AOV-80A-D MSIV AC Inboard Solenoids powered from RPS "A" to be de-energized. Power has been lost to the DC solenoids however, RPS MG Set 1A is fed from MCC-251 fed via 10500 which would not lose power till the generator trips & the 10500 buss loses power as it will not transfer due to loss of DC control power to the 10500 breakers.
C. Correct: Main turbine trip from loss of DC power to EHC trip logic, If Rx power >.29
%, a Rx scram will occur from main turbine stop valve closure.
D. Incorrect but plausible: Loss of DC Power System 'A' results in a downscale failure of FDWTR flow 06FI-89A & Stm flow 06FI-88A & C. Control power is lost to RFP 'A' but RFP 'B' is not affected. The Rx would have scrammed due to response noted in the Correct answer prior to any scrams caused by water level from Steam /FW flow mismatch & loss of RFPT A speed control.

K&A Statement: Knowledge of tht3 reasons for the following responses as they apply to MAIN TURBINE GENERATOR TRIP: Ability to apply safety limits and precautions Justification:
A. Correct: Shell warming could raise first stage pressure above the scram bypass setpoint. With first stage pressure greater than setpoint and turbine stop valves less than 90% open, a reactor scram will be initiated.
B, Incorrect: Jumpering of first stage pressure reactor scram is required by the shell warming procedure. Plausible becClluse main turbine trip signal is reset prior to admitting steam and the scram is based on automatically shutting down the reactor upon a main turbine trip in anticipation of potential rapid pressure spike causing power spike associated when voids collapse.
C. Incorrect: The turbine trip is not tested during or following shell warming alignment.
Plausible because a scram is required to be jumpered and examinee may think the manual turbine trip capability is procedurally tested during or following shell warming alignment.
D. Incorrect: Jumpering of first stage pressure reactor scram is required by the shell warming procedure.While this level transient will occur, it is not part of the basis for the scram. Plausible because turbine-initiated reactor scrams are bypassed automatically by low first stage pressure. Examinee may not understand that shell warming has the potential to raise first stage pressure above the scram setpoint, initiating a scram because stop valves are not fully open.

K&A Statement: Ability to determine and/or interpret the following as thy apply to PARTIAL OR COMPLETE LOSS OF INSTRUMENT AIR:
STATUS OF SAFETY RELATED INSTRUMENT AIR SYSTEM LOADS.
Justification:
A. Incorrect but plausible: The charging header maintains pressure on the accumulators, and the charging header taps off upstream of the FCV, so accumulator pressure will not go down.
B. Incorrect but plausible: The drive header is downstream of the FCV, so rod withdraw speeds will be slower rather than faster.
C. Correct: The FCV fails to the minimum position on a loss of air. The cooling water header is downstream of the FCV. So, the failure mode results in decreased flow to the cooling water header and temperatures will rise resulting in CRD high temperature alarms.
D. Incorrect but plausible: The failure results in low flow. The failure mode does not cause an increased DP across the dlrive piston, so there is no motive force to cause the rods to drift.

K&A Statement: Ability to determine and/or interpret the following as they apply to REACTOR LOW WATER LEVEL: Reactor Power Justification:
A. Correct - Reactor Power < 2.5% is a condition per EOP-3 that will allow reinjection.
B. Incorrect because reactor level would need to reach 0 inches TAF to meet the conditions to reinject. Plausible because level is a parameter that if the condition is met then reinjection is allowed.
C. Incorrect, because although EOP -3 could be exited if the reactor was shutdown and would remain shutdown under all conditions without boron, this condition has not been met. The control rods that did not insert due to the failure to scram are still withdrawn and therefore the reactor would not remain shutdown under all conditions.
Plausible because the candidate may think that being shutdown is a condition to exit EOP-3 and control level with EOP-2.
D. Incorrect because all SRV's need to be closed to meet the condition to reinject.
Plausible because the amount of SHV's is a condition that will determine if reinjection can be met.

K&A Statement: Ability to operate and/or monitor the following as they apply to GENERATOR VOLTAGE AND ELECTRICAL GRID DISTURBANCES: Voltage regulator controls Justification:
A. CORRECT. Per OP-11A Attachment 3, generator terminal voltage will be 24.4 kV under the given initial conditions of 360 kV on the Fitz 345 Line, with the main gen at 820 MWe and 200 MVAR out. Since the volta~le regulator is in auto, it will maintain this generator terminal voltage thru the transient. Attachment 5, for on-peak hours with the R935 breaker out of service, should be used to determine the post-transient reactive load as 120 MVAR out when the Fitz 345 Line is at 365 kV and generator terminal voltage is at 24.4 kV. This same attachment specifies minimum generator terminal voltage and reactive load for real load less than ::340 MWe at 24.7 kV and 200 MVAR. Therefore, the operator is required to raise voltage generator terminal voltage and MVAR out to> 24/7 kV and> 200 MVAR out, respectively.
B, Incorrect. If applicant believes MVAR would have increased in this situation it is plausible using attachment 2 that the MVARs need to be lowered below 400 for this power and generator pressure.
C. Incorrect. If applicant uses the 840-896 line in Attachment 5 it is plausible that raising MVARs to 325 would be required. However, the generator is at 820 MWe, so the <840 line is the correct line.
D. Incorrect. If the applicant looks at Attachment 2 they may believe that no actions are required. However OP-11 a step E.1.2 requires the generator parameters to be within both attachment 2 and attachment 5,.

The plant is operating at 100% power when a LOCA occurs, resulting in the following:
- The reactor has scrammed on High Drywell pressure of 7 psig and rising slowly
- The reactor is shutdown
- MSIV's have closed
- Reactor pressure is being controlled between 800 and 1000 psig with SRVs.
- Torus temperature is 120 degs and rising slowly
- Torus level is 17 feet and rising slowly
- Reactor level is being maintained 177 in. to 222.5 in.
Assuming all parameters remain on their current trend, which one of the following describes the operator response to the current conditions and the reason for the response?
A. An Emergency Depressurization is required if Torus level cannot be restored and maintained below the SRV Tail Pipe Level Limit (STPLL), because operation of SRV's above the STPLL could lead to SRV discharge line damage and/or containment failure.
B. Depressurize the RPV to less than 200 psig, exceeding cooldown rates is authorized per EP-1, because Torus Temperature is at 120 F.
C. Terminate injection into the RPV from sources external to Primary Containment, even if adequate core cooling is not assured, because when performing EOP-2 and EOP-4 concurrently, maintaining containment parameters takes precedent over adequate core cooling.

K&A Statement: Ability to predict (a) predict the impacts of the following on the PRIMARY CONTAINMENT ISOLATION SYSTEM/NUCLEAR STEAM SUPPLY SHUT-OFF; and (b) based on those predictions, use procedures to correct, control, or mitigate the consequences of those abnormal conditions or operations:
NUCLEAR BOILER INSTRUMENTATION FAILURES Justification: Group 1 MSIV Logic includes RPV Low Level. To permit testing and guard against spurious instrument failure, the de-energized- to function, fail-safe logic, initiates a lout of 2 taken twice arrangement, which is also divided between two divisions. The failure of anyone transmitter (either LT-57A or IC', 'B' or 10') will not cause MSIV Closure, just indication of partial logic actuation; the consequences will depend upon which ones are involved. Any combination of one on 'A' logic (LT-57A or 57C) and one on 'B' logic (LT-57B or 570) will fulfill complete logic and MSIV's (all) will automatically close. If both transmitters on the same logic train fail, it will result in no more than the half isolation logic actuation.
A Incorrect but plausible if the candidate forgets that only a partial isolation has occurred on l T-57B and l T-57D.
B. Incorrect but plausible if the candidate forgets that only a partial isolation has occurred on l T-57B and LT-57D.
C. Incorrect but plausible if the candidate forgets that only a partial isolation has occurred on LT-57B and LT-57D. However with l T-57D failed downscale the isolation will not be able to be reset.
0, CORRECT- (1) Half isolation signal on PCIS 'B' (2) operators direct I&C technician to restore 02-3LT-57B per AP-02.06, PROCEDURE USE AND ADHERANCE and stop further testing.

K&A Statement: Ability to monitor automatic operations of the RELIEF/SAEFTY VALVES including:
SRV OPERATION ON HIGH REACTOR PRESSURE Justification: All the safety/relief valves (SRVs) can also be operated by the SRV Electric Lift System (SRVElS). The SRVElS opens the SRV's electrically by energizing the solenoid valves on the pilot stage assembly located on each SRV. The electric lift initiation is designed to break any corrosion bonding on the valve seat to assist the existing mechanical relief in performing its intended function. The SRVElS functions only as an electrical back up to the mechanical setpoint and does not prevent the mechanical portion of the ARV from operating as designed.
A. Incorrect but plausible if the candidate forgets '0' and 'E' SRVs lift setpoint is 1140 psig which is above the 'K' and 'l' SRV lift setpoint of 1135 psig. Also the SRV Electric Lift System is a backup to the mechanical lift.
B. CORRECT* 'K' and 'l' SRVs lift setpoint is 1135 pSig which is below the '0' and 'E' SRV lift setpoint of 1140 psig.
C. Incorrect but plausible if the candidate forgets '0' and 'E' SRVs lift setpoint is 1140 psig which is above the 'K' and 'l' SRV lift setpoint of 1135 psig.
O. Incorrect but plausible if the candidate forgets 'K' and 'l' SRVs lift setpoint is 1135 psig which is below the '0' and 'E' SRV lift setpoint of 1140 psig. Also the SRV Electric Lift System is a backup to the mechanical lift.

K.&A Statement: Knowledge of physical connection andlor cause-effect relationship between STANDBY GAS TREATMENT SYSTEM and the following: SUPPRESSION POOL Justification:
A. CORRECT: The preferred venVpurge flow path is to vent from the torus and purge through the drywell. This flow path has the following advantages:
- Maintains pressure suppression function
- Scrubs gases before release
- Ensures effective vent and purge of both drywell and torus If Primary Containment will be vented to maintain torus pressure below PCPL or PSP, then perform Subsection 5.2 alone or concurrently with anyone applicable gas control strategy. Ensure only one SGT train is in service.
B. Incorrect but plausible: if candidate forgets the Torus is the preferred path because by requiring the Drywell atmosphere to be pulled through the Torus to be vented, release rates can be minimized. Torus water level is low enough at 13.9 feet to allow this, but this is not the preferred path.
C. Incorrect but plausible: if candidate forgets that the venting is to be done with only one SGT Train. While venting the primary containment, the in service SGT train could rupture and cause a ground level release. Ensure only one SGT train is in service.
D. Incorrect but plausible: if candidate forgets the Torus is the preferred path because by requiring the Drywell atmosphere to be pulled through the Torus to be vented, release rates can be minimized. Torus water level is low enough at 13.9 feet to allow this; While venting the primary containment, radiation dose rates will rise in the following areas:
- Along primary containment vent piping in the Reactor Building
- Above underground vent piping between the Reactor Building and Stack
- In the vicinity of the Stack
- In the Standby Gas Treatment System Room While venting the primary containment, the in service SGT train could rupture and cause a ground level release. Ensure only one SGT train is in service

K&A Statement: Knowledge of electrical power supplies to the following:
RPS motor~generator sets Justification:
A. CORRECT. Protective action is initiated on 10500 Bus degraded voltage after a 41 to 46 second time delay with NO LOCA signal present. Degraded voltage will increase the current drawn by the RPS MG Set drive motor. However, it will continue to rotate at rated speed, providing normal MG Set output voltage to the RPS Bus. Since the undervoltage clears prior to automatic protective action, 10500 and the RPS Bus both remain ener9ized from normal power sources.
B. Incorrect. RPS MG Set EPA monitors trip on undervoltage after 4 seconds.
However, since they monitor output voltage, which is unchanged, they will not trip and the RPS Bus will remain energized from the MG Set.
C. Incorrect. The EDG time delay for degraded voltage without a LOCA is 41-46 seconds. Plausible if the candidate does think the EDG time delay has actuated.
D. Incorrect. The RPS MG Set EPA will not trip. Plausible if the candidate thinks degraded voltage on the 10500 will lower RPS Bus voltage.

K&A Statement: Knowledge of the effect that a loss or malfunction of the REACTOR MANUAL CONTROL SYSTEM will have on the following:
ABILITY TO MOVE CONTROL RODS Justification:
A. Incorrect but plausible if 120 was stuck open the control rods would not insert as drive water flow through the 123 valve would flow directly to the exhaust header through the open 120. Additionally withdraw flow would equal stall flow for the CRD.
B, Incorrect but plausible if the 121 valve was stuck open the control rod would insert and not withdraw but the withdraw flow would be high as drive water flow through the 122 valve would flow directly to the exhaust header through the open 121.
C. CORRECT: When the rod movement control switch is moved to the ROD OUT position, the RMCS timer opens the inlet drive water valve (123) and the exhaust valve (121) and the control rod moves into the core and off the collet fingers. RMCS then should open the withdraw valve (122) and exhaust valve (120). If the withdraw valve (122) does NOT open no pressure is applied to the collet fingers or the area above the drive piston the control rod will settle back onto the collet finger at it's original position.
This is further indicated by the 0.0 gpm drive water flow.
D, Incorrect but plausible if 123 was failed closed the control rod would not insert and there would be no insert flow. Additionally withdraw flow would equal stall flow for the CRD.

K&A Statement: G2.1.28 Knowledge of the purpose and function of major system components and controls as it applies to Main Turbine Gen/Aux Justification:
A Incorrect because the load imbalance will trip before the overspeed. Plausible if the candidate does not know how the generator-power load imbalance fast closure works. The turbine would begin to overspeed with a large load imbalance.
B. Incorrect because there will not be a high volts per hertz trip in this situation.
Plausible if the candidate thinks that the electrical load rejection would cause the high volts per hertz trip.
C. Incorrect because although EHC would sense a higher inlet pressure and start to close the control valves, they will trip on the load imbalance greater than 40%. But plausible if the candidate does not know how the generator-power load imbalance fast closure works. This is how the EHC system would respond without the fast closure.
D. Correct - Turbine control valves trip closed by fast acting solenoid due to load imbalance> 40%, Low Relayed Emergency Trip System (RETS) pressure causes a reactor scram, with no operator actions the main turbine will trip on L8 when 'RPV level is restored by FW, HPCI & RCIC. Turbine trip causes stop valves to close which meet the conditions for the anti motoring relay which will trip generator.

JAF LOI-05-10 NRC WRITTEN EXAM - RO AND SRO K&A# G.2.4.6 Importance Rating 3.7 QUESTION 73.
K&A Statement: Knowledge of EOP mitigation strategies Justification:
A. Incorrect but plausible if candidatl~ forgets that only a single area is approaching it's maximum safe area temperature. Emergency de-pressurization requires 2 or more Reactor Building area temperatures above their maximum safe values. Should reactor building temperatures exceed their maximum safe operating values in more than one area and a primary system is discharging outside primary containment, the RPV must be depressurized to preclude further temperature increases. RPV depressurization places the primary system in its lowest possible energy state, rejects heat to the torus in preference to outside the containment, and reduces the driving head and flow of primary systems that are un isolated ;and discharging into the reactor building and preserving secondary containment.
B. CORRECT: If any reactor building area temperature listed in EOP-5 approach their maximum safe operating value, adequate core cooling, containment integrity, safety of personnel, or continued operability of equipment required to perform EOP actions can no longer be assured. EOP-2 RPV Control must be entered to make certain the reactor is scrammed. Scramming the reactor reduces to decay heat levels the energy that the RPV may be discharging to the secondary containment. An explicit direction to scram the reactor is not provided in this step. The max safe area temperature for RCIC is 13rF.
C. Incorrect Plausible if candidate forgets that only a single area is approaching it's maximum safe area temperature. Shutting down the reactor prior to the leak getting larger is not a concern per the bases. The reactor shutdown is based on room temperatures approaching their max safe area temperature.
D. Incorrect Plausible if candidate forgets that the RCIC room is not an enclosed by water tight doors. If a steam leak were to occur it would spread to other rooms e.g. the west cressent area, RCIC drywell entrance, and RHR Heat exchanger room.
Only a single area is approaching it's maximum safe area temperature. Should reactor building temperatures exceed their maximum safe operating values in more than one area and a primary system is discharging outside primary containment, the RPV must be depressurized to preclude further temperature increases. RPV depressurization places the primary system in its lowest possible energy state, rejects heat to the torus in preference to outside the containment, and reduces the driving head and flow of primary systems that are unisolated and discharging into the reactor building and preserving secondary containment.

K&A Statement: Knowledge of system purpose and/or function in regards to: LOW SUPPRESSION POOL WATER LEVEL Justification:
A Incorrect but plausible if the candidate forgets that Drywell conditions do not support placing RHR in the Drywell Spray mode. Drywe" sprays are used to effect a reduction in drywell temperature and pressure, to control hydrogen and oxygen concentrations in the drywell, and to mitigate the effects of a deflagration.
B Incorrect but plausible if the candidate forgets HCTL is not about to be exceeded. With RPV pressure between 700 and 800 psig, HCTL limit is 120°F.
C. Incorrect but plausible if the candidate forgets the Vortex Limit is defined to be the lowest torus water level above which air entrainment is not expected to occur in RCIC or an ECCS pump taking suction on the torus. ECCS pumps could handle 20% entrainment of air, but> 4% air by volume can noticeably reduce pump capacity. Also should a pump trip under these conditions air would collect at system high points. Subsequent restarts could damage system components due to water hammer. This limit is a function of pump flow, and is imposed to preclude system damage due to air entrainment. 8.92 ft for flows between 0 to 20,800 gpm.
D. CORRECT: Per EOP bases the downcomer vents can begin to uncover. This can lead to pressurization of the Torus air space.

Ability to(a) predict the impacts of the following on the A.C.
ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION; and (b) based on those predictions; use procedures to correct, control, or mitigate the consequences of those abnormal conditions or operations:
DE-ENERGIZING A PLANT BUS Justification:
A Incorrect because closing L14 L24 L34 L44 4KV FOR BKR 10440 is not an immediate action of AOP-17. Plausible becausE~ the 10440 breaker will trip when the 10400 bus is de-energized for 3 seconds until the residual bus transfer re-energizes the 10400 bus.
At that point the L 14 L24 L34 L44 switchgear needs to be re-energized, but it is not an immediate action. Breaker 10440 closure is, however, an immediate action in AOP-57.
B. Incorrect because AOP-57 is only entered when a successful residual bus transfer has occurred for BOTH the 10400 bus and 10300 bus. With only the loss of 10400. the plant will stay at power. Plausible if the candidate thinks that AOP-57 Recovery From Residual Bus Transfer is applicable when a single bus (10400 in this case has a residual bus transfer) has tripped and been re-energized by the residual bus transfer.
The immediate action is correct for AOP-57, however since AOP-57 is not correct procedure, it would be incorrect to use this procedure for restoration of 10440.
C. CORRECT. The correct procedure to enter is AOP-17 for a loss of the 10400 bus. The 10400 bus has been reenergized due to the residual transfer. The B RWR pump will have tripped during the time that the bus was de-energized. AOP-17 immediate actions are to ensure reactor power is below 65% and enter AOP-8 due to the loss of B RWR.
D. Incorrect because AOP-57 is only entered when a successful residual bus transfer has occurred for BOTH the 10400 bus and 10300 bus. With only the loss of 10400, the plant will stay at power.

The plant is operating at 100% power when the following annunciators are received:
09-4-0-4 CO NT HI RANGE RAD MON B FAIL OR POWER LOSS
- 09-4-0-5 CO NT HI RANGE RAD MON B ALERT
- 09-4-0-6 CONT HI RANGE RAD MON B HI-HI At Panel 09-10:
- 27RM-104A, Containment Hi Range Rad Monitor 'Alpha', reads 9R1HR
- 27RM-104B, Containment Hi Range Rad Monitor 'Bravo', indicates UPSCALE.
Which of the following describes the appropriate operator action?
A Swap the 'A' H2/02 analyzer to drywell sampling per OP-37, Containment Atmosphere Dilution System. A daily swap to the Torus is required to obtain Torus values.
B.. Due to the inability to maintain Drywell to Torus DIP, 27RM-104B must be returned to service and the isolation reset per AOP-15, Isolation Verification and Recovery.
C. If purge is needed the Containment Vent and Purge partial isolation requires swapping containment vent and purge control to the 'A' CAD train per OP-37, Containment Atmosphere Dilution System.
D. Due to the inability to maintain Drywell to Torus DIP, 27RM-104B must be bypassed and the isolation reset per AOP-15, Isolation Verification and Recovery.

K&A Statement: Ability to (a) predict the impacts of the following on the PRIMARY CONTAINMENT ISOLATION SYSTEMINUCLEAR STEAM SUPPLY SHUT-OFF (b) based on those predictions, use procedures to correct, control, or mitigate the consequences of those abnormal conditions or operations:
PROCESS RADIATION MONITORING SYSTEM FAILURES Justification:
A. Incorrect because the PCIS arrangement of the analyzer will result in a single analyzer fully isolated on appropriate rad monitor isolation signals resulting in the need to swap the remaining analyzer between sample points. The Containment Hi Range Rad Monitors do not isolate the analyzer but plausible if the candidate forgets the PCIS logic arrangement for rad monitor isolation.
B. CORRECT: This instrument only effects the containment vent and purge functions and will isolate one valve in each penetration pathway. Eventually, drywell to torus dIp will drift to <1.7 psid unless the instrument is restored and the isolation reset to allow dIp maintenance. Nitrogen make is required to be done due to leak by past the Drywell to Torus vacuum breakers.
C. Incorrect: because with the B channel tripped the vent and purge penetrations have one valve shut in each penetration. Therefore the 'A' CAD train is also isolated.
Plausible if the candidate thinks that the A trip system isolates the A CAD and the B channel isolates the B CAD.
D. Incorrect: TIS 3.6.1.1 does not allow bypassing the channel. 3.6.1.1.A requires that the system be in the tripped condition. Plausible if the candidate thinks that the logic is 2 channels and one trip system. TS Table 3.3.6.1-1 requires 1 channel per trip system for the containment high rad trip. However the bases describes the system as 1 channel per trip system with 2 systems. Each system isolates a valve in each penetration.

K&A Statement: Ability to (a) predict the impacts of the following on the CONTROL ROD AND DRIVE MECHANISM; and (b) based on those predictions, use procedures to correct, control, or mitigate the consequences of those abnormal conditions or operations:
EXCESSIVE SCRAM TIME FOR A GIVEN DRIVE MECHANISM Justification:
A. Incorrect. Rods 30-35 and 30-39 are adjacent rods. TS 3.1.4 requires no more than 2 adjacent rods declared as SLOW. Rod 30-31 is also an adjacent rod but its scram time is greater than 7 seconds to notch position 04, which requires declaration as INOPERABLE. Must therefore take action to maintain the rod fully inserted per TS 3.1.3.
Plausible to take actions for> 2 adjacent slow rods since rod times are slower than required by TS Table 3.1.4-1.
B. Incorrect. Control Rod 30-31 scram time is greater than 7 seconds requires actions for INOPERABLE rod.

C. CORRECT. Control Rod 30-31 is inoperable lAW TIS 3.1.3 and 3.1.4 since the scram time is greater than 7 seconds to position 04. Position 04 time is not provided in stem but can be inferred scram time exceeds 7 seconds since time to notch position 06 is greater than 8 seconds. TIS actions required are to fully insert the control rod within 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> and disarm the HCU directional control valves (or isolate the HCU) within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />.

The plant is in a refueling outage in MODE 5 with the following evolution in progress:
24 month Surveillance for "B" Control Room Emergency Ventilation Air Supply (CREVAS) System has just been completed at 0400 with the following test results:
- 1) HEPA filter in place test penetration and system bypass flow is 0.9% at a flow rate of 990 scfm
- 2) Charcoal adsorber HEPA filter in place test penetration and system bypass flow is 0.8% at a flow rate of 980 scfm There are NO fuel movements in progress.
The "A" Control Room Emergency Ventilation Air Supply (CREVAS) System is OPERABLE.
The refuel schedule has an activity to perform a recirculation pump suction valve replacement using a freeze seal beginning at 0800.
You are the Control Room Supervisor. You are tasked with evaluating Technical Specifications to determine if this maintenance activity can be performed as scheduled.
Which ONE of the following describes (1) whether this work can be authorized to commence WITH the existing plant conditions and WITHOUT any additional evaluations, and (2) the basis for that decision?
Additional Actions Basis A. Maintenance activity can NOT be LCO 3.7.3 is currently NOT met and entry authorized. into OPDRV specified condition can ONlY be done when two CREVAS subsystems are OPERABLE.
B. Maintenance activity can be Entry into OPDRV specified condition is authorized. allowed because TS 3.7.3.D.1 allows continued operation for an unlimited period with an OPERABLE CREVAS subsystem in isolate mode.
C. Maintenance activity can NOT be LCO 3.7.3 is currently NOT met and entry authorized. into OPDRV specified condition would require a LCO 3.0.4.b risk assessment be performed prior to performing the maintenance.
D. Maintenance activity can be Maintenance activity is NOT an OPDRV and authorized. Te'chnical Specification 3.7.3 is not applicable in Mode 5.

K&A Statement: CONTROL ROOM HVAC G2.2.38 Knowledge of conditions and limitations in the license.
Justification:
A. Incorrect because with one subsystem operable the work can commence without any additional evaluations. LCO 3.0.4.a allows entry into a specified condition if the actions have an unlimited completion time. With one subsystem inoperable 3.7.3.A would be the required action and if the 7 days ran out action 3.7.3.D would allow placing the operable subsystem for an unlimited time, therefore the maintenance can be performed and the specified condition can be entered. Plausible if the candidate does not consider LCO 3.0.4. and thinks the only way to meet LCO 3.7.3 is to restore the S subsystem to operability.
B. CORRECT: because the "B" CREVAS is inoperable per TS 5.5.8.b. and LCO 3.0.4.a is applicable. LCO 3.7.3 requires 2 subsystems to be operable. LCO 3.7.3 is not met and entry into a specified condition (during OPDRVS) can only be made lAW LCO 3.0.4. LCO 3.0.4.a allows entry into a specified condition if the actions taken have an unlimited time which per 3.7.3.D with the operable system in isolate OPDRV's can continue for an unlimited time. Therefore the OPDRV specified condition can be entered without restoring the inoperable system or by performing a risk assessment.
C. Incorrect because with one subsystem operable the work can commence without any additional evaluations. Although the "S" CREVAS is inoperable p'er TS 5.5.S.b.
and therefore 3.7.3 is not met, the risk assessment is not required because LCO 3.0.4.a allows entry into the specified condition. Plausible if the candidate does not consider LCO 3.0.4.a to allow entry into the specified condition of an OPDRV.
D. Incorrect because the maintenance activity is an OPDRV. Maintenance activities that open a reactor coolant pressure boundary below the RPV normal water level and actions are required to maintain the isolation is an OPDRV. The suction valve is below the normal RPV level and the freeze seal requires actions to maintain the isolation. Plausible if the candidate does not know the definition of an OPDRV per AP-10.09.

K&A Statement:
Ability to(a) predict the impacts of the following on the REACTOR/TURBINE PRESSURE REGULATOR and (b) based on those predictions, use procedures to correct, control, or mitigate the consequences of those abnormal conditions or operations:
FAILED OPENICLOSED CONTROL/GOVERNOR VALVE Plant response: Closure of #2 TCV was demonstrated in the Fitzpatrick simulator at 85%
power, which is the power level at which the station performs normal TCV closure surveillance testing. The simulator showed TCVs 1 and 3 go full open, TCV 4 goes to 60%
open and one BPV remains open to control pressure at new, higher equilibrium value. RPV pressure peaked at 1030 psig during the transient Feedwater temperature lowered from 402°F to 391°F.
A. Incorrect. AOP-6 directs a 5% power reduction, not a 10% power reduction. Also, AOP-6 is written to specifically addn9ss a pressure regulator malfunction. This type of malfunction would affect all TCVs, not just one. Plausible because AOP-6 entry condition is met (change in reactor pressure with no operator action), because AOP-6 does direct a power reduction and because AOP-6 directs thermal limit evaluation.
Applicants may not remember that the AOP directs a specific percentage power reduction but may not remember it is 5% not 10%.
B. Incorrect. The transient causes a BPV to open and remain open, resulting in a reduction in normal feedwater heating. Power level must be lowered to close the BPV to restore normal feedwater temperature. Plausible because it is generally desirable to stabilize power at pre-transient level pending further assessment of conditions and procedural requirements. RAP 7.3.16 does provide guidance for power changes.
C. Incorrect. The transient causes a BPV to open and remain open, resulting in a reduction in normal feedwater heating. Power level must be lowered. However, the feedwater heating problem is resolved when BPVs are closed. Guidance in AOP-62 addresses a sustained loss of heating due to extraction steam isolation or heater level control problems. Also, action to reduce to below the 70% rod line is only required for loss of feedwater heating with initial core flow less than 55%. Plausible because there is a feedwater temperature issue when BPVs are open. Also, AOP-32 refers the operator to AOP-62 for a loss of feedwater heating.
D. CORRECT. Entry conditions and symptoms are met for AOP-32, Unexplained I Unanticipated Reactivity Change. The procedure provides guidance for lowering reactor power to the desired level. In the given situation, the desired level would be that power level which would result in closure of the BPV(s).

K&A Statement: Knowledge of primary and secondary plant chemistry limits Justification:
A. Incorrect because chloride ion limit :3t T=4 is in spec and the LCO entry for chloride would be clear, therefore no actions are required. Plausible if the candidate does not exit the high chloride LCO at T=4.
B. Incorrect because chloride ion limit at T=4 is in spec and therefore no actions are required. Plausible if the candidate thinks at T=26 chloride (instead of conductivity) is out of spec, which would require being in mode 4 by T=50.

Time Condition 0800 Plant conditions support declaration of an ALERT 0801 Plant conditions have improved Plant conditions NO LONGER support declaration of an ALERT Plant conditions support declaration of an UNUSUAL EVENT 0805 The Shift Manager has assessed plant conditions and is ready to declare the Emergency event.
Which one of the following describes the IAP-2 emergency notification to be made in response to these conditions at time 0805?
A Declare and report an ALERT. Terminate the event when terminate criteria are met.
B, Declare and report a NOTIFICATION OF UNUSUAL EVENT. Terminate the event when terminate criteria are met.
C, Declare and report an ALERT. Submit a separate notification to indicate the change in classification to a NOTIFICATION OF UNUSUAL EVENT.
D, Declare and report a NOTIFICATION OF UNUSUAL EVENT. No mention of the momentary ALERT condition is required.
JAF LOI-05-10 NRC \VRITTEN EXAM -SRO K&A# G.2.4.29 Importance Rating SRO - 4.4 QUESTION 99.
K&A Statement: Knowledge of the emergency plan.
Justification:
A. CORRECT: lAW IAP-2 step 5.1.4. Classifying transient events. For some events, the condition may be corrected before a declaration has been made. The key consideration in this situation is to determine whether or not further plant damage occurred while the corrective actions were being taken. In some situations, this can be readily determined, in other situations, further analyses (e.g. coolant radiochemistry sampling) may be necessary. Classify the event as indicated and terminate the emergency once assessment shows that there were no consequences from the event and other termination criteria are met.
B. Incorrect but plausible if the candidates forgets that lAW IAP-2 step 5.1.4.

JAF LOI-05-10 NRC WRITTEN EXAM -SRO QUESTION 100.
Initial plant conditions are the plant is operating at 100% power.
Subsequently plant conditions are as follows:
- A manual scram was inserted resulting in no rod movement
- Reactor Pressure is being controlled 800-1000 psig with SRV's
- Drywell Pressure is 5 psig and rising
- ReS leakage is 15 GPM 15 minutes later, plant conditions are as follows:
- Reactor Pressure is being controlled 800-1000 psig with SRV's
- Reactor water level has been lowered to +100 inches
- Reactor Power is 2.0%
- Torus temperature is 150 of and rising slowly
- RCS leakage is 25 GPM
- Drywell Pressure is 8 psig and rising
- Torus level is 10 feet and rising slowly Which ONE of the following describes the HIGHEST EAL classification required for the conditions described above.
A. Alert B. General Emergency C. Site Area Emergency D. Notification of Unusual Event
JAF LOI-05-10 NRC WRITTEN EXAM -SRO K&A# G.2.4.41 Importance Rating SRO-4.6 QUESTION 100.
K&A Statement:
Knowledge of the emergency action level thresholds and classifications.
Justification:
A. Incorrect because the A TWS combined with the initial power being greater than 2.5% means that the correct classification is SAE. Plausible if the candidate thinks that power being reduced to 2.0% means that the alert is the correct classification. The highes1t EAl should be declared.
B. Incorrect because the A TWS plus exceeding the HCTl is the current conditions, however the statement in the GE classification is Torus Temperature and RPV pressure cannot be maintained <HClL. The pressure band can be lowered to meet the HCTl curve. Plausible if the candidate does not realize pressure can be reduced.
C. Correct: Because the manual and automatic scrams did not lower power to below 2.5%. lowering level did reduce power to <2.0% however the procedure states to declare the highest EAl classification.
D. Incorrect because the ATWS is Cliilssified above a NUE. Plausible if the candidate thinks that the RCS leakage above 10 GPM is the highest classification due to the wording in the alert for the ATWS saying automatic scram, however the reactor should have scrammed on the 5 psig drywell pressure.
