Given the following conditions:

- The reactor is shutdown.

- RHR Loop "B" is in Shutdown Cooling (SDC).

- RHR Heat Exchanger Bypass valve, BC-HV-F048B, is closed.

During shift turnover, Reactor Recirculation was found in the following condition:

- 'B' Reactor Recirculation Pump suction valve is 100% open.

- 'B' Reactor Recirculation Pump discharge valve is 10% open.

Based on these conditions, which of the following describes the actions necessary to maximize SDC heat removal from the core?

The 'B' Recirculation Pump discharge valve must be fully El opened because the RHR pump will be running at shutoff head.

Ability to operate and/or monitor the following as they apply to PARTIAL OR COMPLETE LOSS OF FORCED CORE FLOW CIRCULATION:

AA1 01 Recirculation system 3.5 3.6 oIf Justification:

Correct answer: closed because the RHR flow will be bypassing the core. The 'B' Recirculation Pump discharge valve must be fully shut. With the discharge and suction valves open, some SDC flow will bypass the core reducing heat removal from the core. Closing the B discharge valve will establish full SDC flow through the core.

Incorrect: opened because the RHR pump will be running at shutoff head. - Wrong direction, wrong reason. RHR pump will have normal SDC flowpath to and from the B Recirc loop.

Incorrect: opened because RHR pump min flow will be open. Wrong direction, wrong reason. Flow through RHR loop flow element will be adequate to close min flow valve.

Incorrect: closed because the RHR flow will be at pump runout. Correct direction but wrong reason. The valve must be closed to stop core bypass flow. Pump runout is not why the Recirc discharge valve is closed. F015B is throttled to prevent runout.

Justification:

1#44 M:J Correct: SACS Loop B Temperature Control valve EG-TCV-2517B fails full open. Full open bypasses the SACS HX. SACS Loop B temp will rise as well as FP temp.

Incorrect: SSW Loop B Yard Dump valve EA-HV-2356B spuriously opens. Would increase SSW flow through the SSW side of the SACS HX. Worst case would make no change if no water came out.

Incorrect: SSW Loop B to RACS valve EA-HV-2204 closes. FP is cooled by SACS. Loop B SSW flow would increase though SACS HX, lowering SACS temp or worst case, no change.

Incorrect: SACS Loop B HX Bypass Isolation valve EG-HV-2457B air supply line breaks off. Valve fails closed on loss of air, forcing more flow through SACS HX and lowering SACS temps.

-Correct:

Place the fuel assembly in the nearest open rack location in the fuel pool because it is a safe location. Immmediate operator action for lowering FP level are: evacuate the Refuel Floor; Return irradiated fuel assembly to the vessel or pool; Lower any bundle in the Fuel Prep Machine to the full down position. Since the IOA are bulleted, they can be performed in any order or simultaneously.

Incorrect: Isolate Fuel Pool Cooling because that is a potential source of the leak. Subsequent action.

Incorrect: Move the bridge over the reactor cavity because it is further away from the fuel pool. Wrong reason. AB-COOL-0004 allows movement to either the FP or core, however the reason movement allowed to the core is to put the bundle down in a safe position.Tech Spec Definitions 1.7.

Incorrect: Suspend movement of the fuel assembly at its present condition because Core Alterations must be suspended.
