When it fails high, the rod icontrol system sees that actual temp (auct hi Tave) is much lower than reference temp (PT-505) and will rwithdraw rods automatically. The rods are almost fully withdrawn from the core initially at 21 5 steps, and Ithe remaining steps have very low reactivity associated with them. There will not be enough positive reactivity added from the rod withdrawl to cause any automatic Rx trip. Interlock C-I 1 blocks AUTO rod control at the cycle dependent all rods out (ARO) position, which for cycle 17 is 227 steps per S2.RE-IRA.ZZ-0011.

A & B are incorrect because the Rx will not trip.

The CV71 valve will not have changed position, and Ithe lower total system charging flow will mean the total seal injection flow will lower proportionately.

D is incorrect because normal letdown come from 23 loop cold leg. The cold leg temperature will RISE following a Rc trip as SG pressure rises. The letdown temperature will RISE, and the Letdown HX CCW 'flow will need to RISE to maintain temperature. This will cause CC71 valve demand to RISE.

It also states NOT to release steam unless directed by the TSC. Step 8 asks if the TSC recommends steaming the ruptured SG. If YES, then an acceptable calculated off-site release dose is required PRIOR to continuing to Step 25 which is the RCS cooldown at which time the ruptured SG COULD be used. A is incorrect because even if the NR level is now <92%, it was above 92%, and is considered to have water in the steam line.

The ERG basis states that the thermal shock of feeding a dry SG could cause a tube leak or rupture that would be unable to be isolated until the secondary boundary was restored. This is why 11 SG will NOT be fed, and A is incorrect.

C and D are incorrect because the procedure states that if other SG are available, then 11 and 13 SGs should be steamed last to maximize steam supply for TDAFW pump. The stem states that the 13 TDAFW pp cannot be immediately reset, which infers that it may be able to be reset, so conserving inventory in 13 SG is correct.

Since Yellow paths are not required to be entered when entry conditions are met, it is wrong to enter it and then leave it within a step. With the SI pumps in service, normal charging and letdown cannot be established.

A is incorrect because a single RCP tripping <P-8 (36%) will not icause a trip, the coincidence is 2/4. B is incorrect because Tc failing low (510 deg) would cause Loop 11 Tavg to lower, and this would put this channel further from a trip setpoint. enough to trip the bistable for OT/DT or OP/DT. C is correct because the channel IV of PZR pressure failing low would satisfy the 2/4 PZR low pressure Rx trip. Also, with rod control in manual as stated in the stem, autioneered high Tavg rising would NOT cause inward rod movement, which it would if rods were in auto, and eventually cause a Rx trip because rods would never stop inserting.

D is incorrect because:

SSPS rack door iannunciates an OHA in control room. Placing 2 trains of SSPS in test at the same time causes a General Warning on both trains, which causes an automatic Rx trip. When testing a single component, the entire train is not placed in test, but knowledge of how the 2 trains interface makes the door opening a plausible distracter.
