-Unit 1 is at 80%power and stable.-A control rod is suspected of partially inserting into the core.-Currently the control rod indicates approximately 40 steps by Individual Rod Position Indication (IRPI).-This control rod is located adjacent to Power Range instrument N-44.What selection supports the diagnosis of an actual mispositioned rod and why?A.ALL Power Range Nuclear instruments will read slightly LOWER than pre-event values due to HIGHER moderator density.8.ALL Power Range Nuclear instruments will read slightly LOWER than pre-event values due to NEGATIVE reactivity insertion.Annunciator 47013-0201, Power Range Negative Flux Rate Channel Alert, is LIT due to HIGH localized power reduction.

D.N-44 delta I indicates MORE POSITIVE due to flux shift to a HIGHER enriched region of the core.Justification:

A.Incorrect.

This distractor used based on RCS temperature perturbations affecting NI indications.

Lower temperature causes more thermalization in the core and less leakage to the NI.This is why NI indication actually decreases, any error in this reasoning would lead to this distractor being selected.B.Incorrect.

Plausible if it is incorrectly assumed overall power will decrease due to the inserted rod.C.Correct.D.Incorrect.

Local flux would be driven to the bottom, however since power is distributed, it is plausible that overall flux will shift to the top.This actually occurs with banks of rods at EOL, due to lack of enriched fuel at the bottom of the core.Wednesday, March 10,201010:23:40 AM 31 2010 PRAIRIE ISLAND IL T NRC WRITTEN EXAM KIA Statement:

What action is required to be taken FIRST to mitigate these conditions?

A.Start 12 RHR pump.Stop 11 RHR pump.C.Remove letdown from service.D.Direct the containment rover to vent RHR piping.Justification:

A.Incorrect.

Plausible as this would preserve cooling, however with a common header it would result in air binding of 12 RHR pumps.B.Correct.Per step 2.4.3 of D2 AOP1"Loss of Coolant in a Reduced Inventory Condition." Stopping the pump will stop the air ingestion and prevent damage to the RHR pump, preserving it for restart once the loss of level is stopped and level is recovered.

Also, RHR is a likely source of inventory loss C.Incorrect.

Plausible as this may slow level loss if the failure is in the CVCS system, but it would not prevent damage to RHR pump from air ingestion.

D.Incorrect.

A.B.c.D.Correct.See Below Incorrect.

Plausible as reducing heat loads is a required action for this procedure, however is not the basis for these valves being closed.Incorrect.

Plausible as thrust bearing cooling is important, but is not a concern for the motor bearings.Incorrect.

Restoring CVCS loads is done in subsequent steps, but is not the basis for this step.The purpose of this step is to prevent potential RCP seal damage and the introduction of steam into the component cooling water system when a CC pump is started.The operator should check the status of RCP seal isolation in preparation for loading the charging pumps and CC pump on the safeguards bus.If the RCP has been isolated (by local actions specified in 1 ECA-O.O), the operator proceeds to Step 2.If the operator determines that the sealinjectionisolation valves are open or their position is not known, the operator should check charging pump status.If a pump is running, the operator is instructed to go to Step 2 to continue plant recovery.If a charging pump is not running, the operator should attempt to isolate the seal injection line by dispatching personnel to locally close the seal injection isolation valves.The operator should not start a charging pump until sealinjectionis isolated to avoid potential RCP damage.If the operator determines that the thermal barrier CCreturnisolation valves are open, the operator should check CC pump status.If a pump is running, the operator is instructed to go to Step 2 to continue plant recovery.In this situation, the CC pump has already started upon AC power restoration and thermal barrier flow has been initiated.

The operator should be aware of potential CC operational problems.If the CC pumps are not running, the operator is instructed to close the CC return isolation valves.Wednesday, March 10,201010:23:40 AM 42 2010 PRAIRIE ISLAND IL T NRC WRITTEN EXAM KIA Statement:

-2ECA-0.O, Loss of All Safeguards AC Power, is in progress.-The Lead Operator performing the rapid depressurization of both SG's to 300 psig.-Pressure in both SG's reached 180 psig before the depressurization was stopped.What is the potential operational implication that could result from the excessive SG depressurization?

A.An integrity Red Path could be received due to the excessive RCS cooldown.B!'" Nitrogen injection from the accumulators may occur, interrupting natural circulation flow in the RCS.C.Low steam pressure may cause the TDAFW pump to trip on low discharge pressure, resulting in a loss of heat sink.D.Voiding may occur in the reactor vessel, causing the upper portion of the core to become uncovered and potentially causing fuel damage.Justification:

A.Incorrect.

The RCS must be cooled to near 200°F at low pressures to reach a RED path and SG saturation pressure is about 395°F, also transitions to FR procedures not made during ECA-O.O.B.Correct.Depressurization is designed to inject accumulators and excessive cooldown may result in nitrogen injection that could create a"hard" bubble in the SG's and degrade/stop natural circulation cooling.C.Incorrect.

The AFW pump discharge trip is bypassed by placing the selector switch in MANUAL.D.Incorrect.

Per the caution voiding is expected on the depressurization to 300 psig and it should not be stopped if it occurs.The voiding is expected during natural circulation in the upper head, but will not go lower than the RCS loop connections (well above the fuel)as natural circulation will collapse bubbles that make it into the loops.Wednesday, March 10,201010:23:47 AM 64 2010 PRAIRIE ISLAND IL T NRC WRITTEN EXAM KIA Statement:

_Question Cognitive Level: Memory or Fundamental Knowledge X Comprehension or Analysis10 CFR Part 55 Content: 55.41--,-,1 0"---_55.43__Comments:.401.35-Certain"newer" KlAs have a 10 CFR 55 reference given in parenthesis to show a tie between the CFR and NUREG-1122(3).

We were told that questions did not meet the criteria of SRO only (those 25 questions only on the SRO written)if the KIA reference included both 55.41 and 55.43.It is our understanding that questions need be written at SRO knowledge level in these situations.

We do not think that this dual CFR reference should be interpreted to eliminate the KIA from being selected for an SRO question.The policy regarding the 25 SRO-only questions on the written examination is stated in Section D.2.d of ES-401.The fact that a KIA is linked to both 55.41 and 55.43 does not mean that the KIA cannot be used to develop an SRO-only question.Questions related to 55.41 topics may be appropriate SRO-Ievel questions if they evaluate knowledge and abilities at a level that is unique to the SRO job position as determined by the facility licensee's learning objectives.
