In order to answer this question correctly, the candidate must: Determine the relationship between MSRV steam flow and reactor power as follows: Total rated steam flow through 13 MSRVs = 84% divided by 13 MSRVs=6.5%. | 295006 SCRAM I 1 AA2.01 - Ability to determine andlor interpret the following as they apply to SCRAM: | ||
The fact that the MSIVs are closed along with the value and trend of reactor pressure should provide sufficient information to conclude the reactor power is above 5 percent which is the breakpoint for C5 for lower water level. The highest allowable water level in this condition is -50 inches. In RC/Q, 5 percent power is the breakpoint for removing recirc pumps (forced ciruclation) from service. This value is selected since boron injection into the lower head will be sufficiently mixed inside the core by natural convention currents from the steam flow out of the reactor. At power levels below 5%, recirc pumps are needed to mix boron. D | Reactor power. | ||

( Plausibility Analysis: | |||
In order to answer this question correctly, the candidate must: | |||
Demonstrate knowledge of the bases considered for determination of the Primary Containment pressure limit and the specific limitation applicable to BFN. This limitation is provided in greater detail in the BFN Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), | |||
however the bases associated with the distractors are outlined in the EOI Program Manual and not in the UFSAR. | |||
The limitation is defined as the lesser of four possible limitations. Plausibility for the distractors is assured based on their potential applicability, under slightly different conditions. | |||
C - correct: | |||
A - incorrect: Suppression Pool water level above 18 feet will prevent the equalization of pressure from the SC air space and the DW airspace because the vacuum breakers are covered. This condition will lead to immediate containment failure. Emergency venting of the contaiment is an unfiltered release path, however a short duration release that maintains the contaiment equipment in tact is preferred over complete contaiment failure. | |||
B - incorrect: Suppression Pool water level above 18 feet will prevent the equalization of pressure from the SC air space and the DW airspace because the vacuum breakers are covered. This condition will lead to immediate containment failure. Emergency venting is correct. | |||
D - incorrect: this choice is incorrect since emergency venting is required prior to exceeding the containment design pressure. | |||

] | |||
Suppression chamber to drywell vacuum breakers will not function as designed if any portion of the valve is covered with water. Suppression pool water level <A.5> corresponds to elevation of the bottom of the vacuum breakers less vacuum breaker opening pressure in feet of water. | |||
Ifvacuum breakers are submerged, they are inoperable. Drywell spray operation with vacuum breakers inoperable (i.e., with no vacuum relief capability) may cause primary containment differential pressure capability to be exceeded because of the inability to equalize pressure through vacuum breakers. | |||
If suppression pool water level is below <A.5>, suppression chamber to drywell vacuum breakers are not submerged and will function as designed. The operator continues at Step PC/P-S. | |||
Ir"suppression pool water level is at or above <A.S>, drywell spray operation is not permitted and the operator is directed to Step PC/P-ll. | |||

I DISCUSSION: STEP PCIP~16 TIlls action step directs the operator to emergency vent the suppression chamber as specified in EOI Appendix 13. EOI Appendix 13 provides step-by-step guidance on how to emergency vent I | |||
the suppression chamber and defeat isolation interlocks, irrespective of the resultant release rate. | |||
Because this step is prioritized with the miniature before decision step PCIP-14 symbol, this | |||
. action must be performed before suppression chamber pressure exceeds <A.61>, Primary Containment Pressure Limit. | |||
Emergency venting of the suppression chamber is performed to: 1) assure that integrity of primary containment is maintained, and 2) prevent core damage that might be caused by inability to vent the RPV as necessary to permit injection of water to cool the core. | |||
The consequences of not emergency venting may result in a catastrophic loss of primary containment integrity with a subsequent uncontrolled release of radioactivity much greater than that which might otherwise occur. Direction is given to vent only until suppression chamber pressure can be reduced and maintained below Primary Containment Pressure Limit. This action minimizes offsite radioactivity release rate while still assuring primary containment integrity. | |||
Venting via the suppression chamber is preferred to take advantage of the scrubbing effect (Le. | |||
vented gas from primary containment, that exits from downcomers and passes through the suppression pool water volume). The scrubbing effect minimizes the amount of radioactivity released . | |||

Reactor Core SLs B 2.1.1 BASES APPLICABLE 2.1.1.2 MCPR SAFETY ANALYSES (continued) The fuel cladding integrity SL is set such that no fuel damage is calculated to occur if the limit is not violated. Since the parameters that result in fuel damage are not directly observable during reactor operation, the thermal and hydraulic conditions that result in the onset of transition boiling have been used to mark the beginning -of the region in which fuel damage could occur. Although it is recognized that the onset of transition boiling would not result in damage to BWR fuel rods, the critical power at which boiling transition is calculated to occur has been adopted as a convenient limit. However, the uncertainties in monitoring the core operating state and in the procedures used to calculate the critical power result in an uncertainty in the value of the critical power. Therefore, the fuel cladding integrity SL is defined as the critical power ratio in the limiting fuel assembly for which more than 99.9% of the fuel rods in the core are expected to avoid boiling transition, considering the power distribution within the core and all uncertainties. | |||
The MCPR SL is determined using a statistical model that combines all the uncertainties in operating parameters and the procedures used to calculate critical power. The probability of the occurrence of bOiling transition is determined using the approved General Electric Critical Power correlations. Details of the fuel cladding integrity SL calculation are given in Reference 2. Reference 2 also includes a tabulation of the uncertainties used in the determination of the MCPR SL and of the nominal values of the parameters used in the MCPR SL statistical analysis. | |||

The leak in the condensate system which necessitated removing the condensate pumps from service resulted in an isolation of the operating SJAE from low condensate flow. This will result in lowering vacuum. Although the leak in the condensate system will cause lower hotwell level, the makeup from the CST would maintain sufficient level to preclude losing vacuum. To continue a cooldown to the condenser, vacuum must be restored. | The leak in the condensate system which necessitated removing the condensate pumps from service resulted in an isolation of the operating SJAE from low condensate flow.

: 1. In normal operation, the primary containment atmosphere is maintained at less than 3.5% oxygen levels by the Nitrogen Storage and Supply System. | |||
: 2. Following a loss-of-coolant accident, hydrogen is Obj. V.E.9 produced in the containment from zirc-water reactions, and H2 and 02 are produced from radiolytic decomposition of water. If uncontrolled the concentration of oxygen and hydrogen could get to a combustible gas mixture. | |||
: 3. The CAD System is used in the post LOCA condition to prevent the containment atmosphere from reaching a combustible mixture, by diluting the atmosphere with nitrogen and venting as necessary. | |||
The CAD System also serves as a backup Obj. V.B.7 pneumatic supply to the Drywell Control Air System. | |||
: 4. System Design Basis | |||
: a. CAD is shared system, and can supply TP-3 | |||
( nitrogen to any of the three units. | |||
: b. CAD can supply nitrogen at rate sufficient to maintain the oxygen concentrations of both the drywell and torus below 5% by volume, (based on calculated generation rates) and the hydrogen concentrations to less than 4% | |||
by volume. | |||
: c. The containment atmospheric dilution portion TP-3 of CAD system is an engineered safety feature. The system is remote-manually operated from the control room and must be able to start within ten hours following a LOCA. | |||

Description of Circumstances: | Description of Circumstances: | ||
On December 11, 1986, the Susquehanna nuclear power plant reported that based on results of an ongoing review of the potential effects of water hammer events, the RHR system could be susceptible to water hammer loads that would exceed the allowable stresses in the RHR system and piping. The specific condition of concern involves a design-basis LOCA coincident with a LOOP, while one or one RHR loops are in the suppression pool cooling mode. During the power loss and subsequent valve realignment, portions of the RHR system will void because of the drain down to the suppression pool as a result of elevation differences. | On December 11, 1986, the Susquehanna nuclear power plant reported that based on results of an ongoing review of the potential effects of water hammer events, the RHR system could be susceptible to water hammer loads that would exceed the allowable stresses in the RHR system and piping. The specific condition of concern involves a design-basis LOCA coincident with a LOOP, while one or one RHR loops are in the suppression pool cooling mode. | ||
A water hammer may occur in those RHR loops that were in the suppression pool cooling mode when the RHR pumps restart after the diesel generators reenergize the buses. The core spray system also may be subject to such a water hammer if it is lined up in the suppression pool mixing mode full flow test. The Susquehanna design basis for LOCA/LOOP assumes that the suppression pool cooling flow path valves are initially closed in the standby lineup. The potential duration factor used in the consideration of the coincident LOCA/LOOP with the RHR in suppression pool cooling mode was one percent, or roughly 90 hours per year. 8702100126 IN 87-10 February 11, 1987 Page 2 of 2 Contrary to the design basis assumption, a licensee review of operating history found that the worst case RHR system usage factor approached 25% during cycles in which significant safety relief valve weeping was experienced. | During the power loss and subsequent valve realignment, portions of the RHR system will void because of the drain down to the suppression pool as a result of elevation differences.

The core spray system also may be subject to such a water hammer if it is lined up in the suppression pool mixing mode full flow test. | |||
The NRC discussed the potential for this general type of event in Engineering Evaluation No. AEODjE309, "The Potential for Water Hammer During the Restart of RHR Pumps at BWR Nuclear Power Plants," dated April 1983. In the type of scenario discussed in AEODjE309, the line most likely to drain and experience a water hammer is the drywell spray line because it has the largest elevation difference between it and the suppression pool. RHR system pipes less than 33 feet above the suppression pool will not usually drain because atmospheric pressure will support a column of water that high. A water hammer in the drywell spray line could endanger RHR system integrity, and thus jeopardize all modes of RHR including low-pressure coolant injection. | The Susquehanna design basis for LOCA/LOOP assumes that the suppression pool cooling flow path valves are initially closed in the standby lineup.

during cycles in which significant safety relief valve weeping was experienced. | |||
For interim corrective action, the licensee has modified operating procedures to allow, at a time, only one loop of RHR to operate in suppression pool cooling. In addition, the licensee will revise plant procedures to address the restart of an RHR pump if it trips while operating in the suppression pool cooling mode. The core spray system is currently prohibited from being operated in the suppression pool mixing mode, except for required surveillance testing. | |||

: 1. STOP control rod withdrawal and PLACE the channel in bypass when the SRM or IRM first gets noisy. 2. STOP control rod withdrawal and PLACE the channel in bypass immediately upon receipt of a single event large noise spike. These conditions bypass the instrument for an operability assessment based on whether the noise is transitory or sustained. | Sunday, February 17, 2008 3:28:27 PM 34 | ||
Transitory noise is considered a one time occurrence that does not repeat itself and the channel can be removed from bypass and restored to service. Sustained noise is when the duration exceeds 15 minutes and may result in signal build up until a trip signal is reached. If a trip or high flux signal was generated, the channel is required to be observed for at least 15 minutes before returning the instrument to service with concurrence from System Engineering. | |||
When the initial assessment and recognition of the magnitude of the event has been determined, then control rod withdrawal may be resumed where it has been left off as long as the minimum number of SRM and IRM channels operable are within the Technical Specification limits.

: f. Boiling is a concern in both horizontal and SER 03-05 vertical reference and variable instrument leg runs. Boil-off from reference leg water inventory reduces the reference head of water, decreases dP sensed by the instrument, and results in an erroneously high indicated RPV water level. Boiling in the instrument's variable leg exerts increased pressure on the variable leg side of the dP cell.

BROWNS FERRY EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION PROCEDURE TECHNICAL BASIS EPIP-1 | |||
( | |||
UNUSUAL EVENT | |||
* EAL: liquid release rate exceeds 20 times ECl as determined by chemistry sample AND Release duration exceeds or will exceed 60 minutes. | |||
OPERATING CONDITION: All BASIS: Liquid release rates are determined using Surveillance Instructions which utilize liquid samples rather than instrument readings for activity determination. Effluent Concentration Limits (ECl) are those annual concentrations given in 10CFR20 Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2. 10 times ECl is equivalent to the instantaneous ODCM limit. Unplanned radioactivity releases that exceed 20 times ECl (2 times ODCM limit) and continue for 60 minutes or longer represent an uncontrolled situation and potential degradation in the level of safety of the plant. The release should not be averaged over 60 minutes. For example, a release of 40 times ECl for 30 minutes does not meet the requirements of this event classification. The 60 minute time period allows sufficient time to isolate any release after exceeding ECL. | |||
Greater than 60 minutes represents inability to isolate or control the release. The Site Emergency Director should declare the event as soon as it is determined that the release duration has or will likely exceed 60 minutes. The Chemistry Department | |||
( determines the magnitude of the release by sample procedure for any release as required by initiating procedures (Le., SI, ARP, AOI, EOI). The sample results are reported to the Site Emergency Director as a fraction or multiple of ECL. | |||
Escalation to Alert is based on release in excess of 2000 times ECl for greater than 15 minutes. | |||

I DISCUSSION: STEP C5-9 I This action step directs the operator to bypass any low RPV water level isolation interlock that may cause the MSIVs to close. System specific EOI Appendices provide step-by-step guidance for bypassing isolation interlocks. | |||
. | |||
Subsequent actions in this procedure may lower RPV water level to or below the low RPV water level isolation setpoint for MSIVs, when conditions are most desirable to maintain use of the main condenser as the heat sink. | |||
The MSIV low-low-low RPV water level isolation interlock is bypassed using the guidance in EOI Appendix 8A to ensure that the main condenser remains available as a heat sink ifRPV water level is lowered past the MSIV isolation setpoint. | |||
The reactor building ventilation low RPV water level isolation interlock is bypassed using the guidance in EOI Appendix 8E because reactor building ventilation is necessary for maintaining steam tunnel temperatures below their isolation setpoint. If the steam tunnel temperature exceeds the MSIV isolation setpoint, the main condenser is lost as a heat sink. | |||
The drywell control air low RPV water level isolation interlock is bypassed using the guidance in EOI Appendix 8e to ensure that adequate pneumatic pressure is available to maintain open the inboard MSIVs. If drywell control air is lost, the inboard MSIVs may inadvertently close. | |||
Other MSIV isolation interlocks (i.e., main steam high flow and steam tunnel high temperature) are not bypassed. These isolations are required to provide automatic protection for conditions where preventing the closure of the MSIVs is not appropriate. | |||
Maintaining the MSNs open is conditioned as follows: | |||
: 1. The main condenser must remain available, since the only reason for maintaining the MSIV s open is to utilize the main condenser as the heat sink. | |||
: 2. There must be no indication of "gross" fuel failure, since maintaining the MSIVs open with grossly failed fuel could result in a significant release of fission products to the envirorunent. "Gross" fuel failure is specified here to distinguish from small cladding leaks. | |||
The judgment is subjective, based on operator assessment of all available indications. | |||
: 3. There must be no indication of a steam line break. Maintaining the MSIVs open with a break in the downstream piping could result in an uncontrolled loss of reactor coolant | |||
* inventory, release fission products to the environment, and cause personnel injury or significant damage to plant equipment. | |||

0610 NRC SRO Exam KIA Statement: 295006 SCRAM I 1 AA2.01 - Ability to determine andlor interpret the following as they apply to SCRAM: Reactor power. KIA Justification: This question satisfies the KIA statement by requiring the candidate to use specific plant conditions to determine the reactor power level using alternate methods and select the appropriate procedure to address those conditions. Level of Knowledge Justification: This question is rated as CIA due to the requirement to assemble, sort, and integrate the parts of the question to predict an outcome. This requires mentally using this knowledge and its meaning to predict the correct outcome. SRO Level Justification: This question satisfies the requirements of 10 CFR 55.43(b) (5) Assessment of facility conditions and selection of appropriate procedures during normal, abnormal, and emergency situations. 0610 NRC SRO Exam Sunday, February 17,20083:28:26 PM 2
0610 NRC SRO Exam REFERENCE PROVIDED: None ( Plausibility Analysis: In order to answer this question correctly, the candidate must: Determine the relationship between MSRV steam flow and reactor power as follows: Total rated steam flow through 13 MSRVs = 84% divided by 13 MSRVs=6.5%. The fact that the MSIVs are closed along with the value and trend of reactor pressure should provide sufficient information to conclude the reactor power is above 5 percent which is the breakpoint for C5 for lower water level. The highest allowable water level in this condition is -50 inches. In RC/Q, 5 percent power is the breakpoint for removing recirc pumps (forced ciruclation) from service. This value is selected since boron injection into the lower head will be sufficiently mixed inside the core by natural convention currents from the steam flow out of the reactor. At power levels below 5%, recirc pumps are needed to mix boron. D
- correct:
A* incorrect: Reactor power is above 5%. However, if power was below 5%, the level band along with the assumption of forced circulation would be correct. B
- incorrect: Based on the assumption of forced circulation. Recirc pumps must be tripped if power is above 5%.
C
- incorrect: Reactor power is above 5%. However, the level band is correct for the conditon of less than 5%. However, natural circulation is not sufficient to mix the boron with power level below 5%.

OPL171.009 Revision 10 Page 15 of 62 (6) The worst over pressure transient is: (a) 3-second closure of all MSIVs neglecting the direct scram (valve position scram) .
. (b) Results in a maximum vessel pressure which, if a neutron flux scram is assumed considering 12 valves operable, results in adequate margin to the code allowable over pressure limit of 1375 psig bottom head pressure.
(7) To meet operational design, the analysis of the plant isolation transient (generator load reject without bypass valves) shows that 12 of the 13 valves limitpeak pressure to a value well below the limit of 1375 psig.
- b. The total safety I relief valve capacity has been established to meet the over pressure protection criteria of the ASME code.
(1) There are 13 Safety I Relief valves. (a) Each SRV has a capacity of 905,OOOlb/hr @ 1135psig. This gives a total capacity ~ 84.1 % (79.5% EPU) design steam flow at the reference pressure. (b) Valve leakage is detected by Obj. V.B.6 a temperature element and an Obj. V.CA acoustic monitor on each tailpipe. However, only the acoustic monitor will generate an alarm on panel 9-3.

2-AOI-74-1 and 2-01-68 Level of Knowledge Justification: This question is rated as MEM due to the requirement to recall or recognize discrete bits of information and apply this to the complicance of technical specification. SRO Level Justification: This question satisfies the requirements of 10 CFR 55.43(b) (7) Fuel handling facilities and procedures.

0610 NRC SRO Exam REFERENCE PROVIDED: None Plausibility Analysis: In order to answer this question correctly, the candidate must: Demonstrate knowledge of the specific reactor conditions and use this information to determine the appropriate implmentation of a Technical Specification Action statement. The distractors provided are all indicative of reactor coolant circulation. However, the conditions in the stem disallow the use of these other conditions. A - correct: because the coolant circulation is provided by natural ciruculation due to density differences in the water as it is alternately heated and cooled. B - incorrect: based on the initial conditions; which is the jet pump plugs are installed. This eliminates NOT only RHR SDC, but also the Recirculation System's common discharge. C - incorrect: based on the system characteristics of ADHR. The suction and discharge of this system is in the fuel pool which will not provide direct coolant circulation. ADHR is the heat removal mechanism which satisfies other TS actions in this condition, such as fuel pool temperature, but not coolant circulation by alternate methods. D - incorrect: This is an indication of thermal stratification, not coolant circulation by alternate methods. Sunday, February 17, 2008 3:28:26 PM 5

0610 NRC SRO Exam REFERENCE PROVIDED: None ( Plausibility Analysis: In order to answer this question correctly, the candidate must: Demonstrate knowledge of the bases considered for determination of the Primary Containment pressure limit and the specific limitation applicable to BFN. This limitation is provided in greater detail in the BFN Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), however the bases associated with the distractors are outlined in the EOI Program Manual and not in the UFSAR. The limitation is defined as the lesser of four possible limitations. Plausibility for the distractors is assured based on their potential applicability, under slightly different conditions. C - correct: A - incorrect: Suppression Pool water level above 18 feet will prevent the equalization of pressure from the SC air space and the DW airspace because the vacuum breakers are covered. This condition will lead to immediate containment failure. Emergency venting of the contaiment is an unfiltered release path, however a short duration release that maintains the contaiment equipment in tact is preferred over complete contaiment failure. B - incorrect: Suppression Pool water level above 18 feet will prevent the equalization of pressure from the SC air space and the DW airspace because the vacuum breakers are covered. This condition will lead to immediate containment failure. Emergency venting is correct. D - incorrect: this choice is incorrect since emergency venting is required prior to exceeding the containment design pressure.

- I DISCUSSION: STEP PCIP-7 This decision step has the operator evaluate the present status of suppression pool water level to determine if suppression chamber to drywell vacuum breakers are operable.
]
Suppression chamber to drywell vacuum breakers will not function as designed if any portion of the valve is covered with water. Suppression pool water level <A.5> corresponds to elevation of the bottom of the vacuum breakers less vacuum breaker opening pressure in feet of water. Ifvacuum breakers are submerged, they are inoperable. Drywell spray operation with vacuum breakers inoperable (i.e., with no vacuum relief capability) may cause primary containment differential pressure capability to be exceeded because of the inability to equalize pressure through vacuum breakers. If suppression pool water level is below <A.5>, suppression chamber to drywell vacuum breakers are not submerged and will function as designed. The operator continues at Step PC/P-S. Ir"suppression pool water level is at or above <A.S>, drywell spray operation is not permitted and the operator is directed to Step PC/P-ll. REVISION 0 PAGE 45 OF 244 SECTION O-V-O
EOl-2, PRIMARY CONTAINMENT CONTROL BASES EOI PROGRAM MANUAL SECTION O-V-O
( I DISCUSSION: STEP PCIP~16 TIlls action step directs the operator to emergency vent the suppression chamber as specified in EOI Appendix 13. EOI Appendix 13 provides step-by-step guidance on how to emergency vent I the suppression chamber and defeat isolation interlocks, irrespective of the resultant release rate. Because this step is prioritized with the miniature before decision step PCIP-14 symbol, this
. action must be performed before suppression chamber pressure exceeds <A.61>, Primary Containment Pressure Limit.
Emergency venting of the suppression chamber is performed to: 1) assure that integrity of primary containment is maintained, and 2) prevent core damage that might be caused by inability to vent the RPV as necessary to permit injection of water to cool the core. The consequences of not emergency venting may result in a catastrophic loss of primary containment integrity with a subsequent uncontrolled release of radioactivity much greater than that which might otherwise occur. Direction is given to vent only until suppression chamber pressure can be reduced and maintained below Primary Containment Pressure Limit. This action minimizes offsite radioactivity release rate while still assuring primary containment integrity. Venting via the suppression chamber is preferred to take advantage of the scrubbing effect (Le. vented gas from primary containment, that exits from downcomers and passes through the suppression pool water volume). The scrubbing effect minimizes the amount of radioactivity released .

0610 NRC SRO Exam In order to answer this question correctly, the candidate must: Demonstrate understanding, application, required action and basis for Reactor Core Safety limits as they relate to high offsite release rates and the mechanism of elevated release. Specific knowledge needed: Recall from memory the appropriate Safety Limit (SL) for the conditions of above 785 psig and greater than 10% core flow during SLO which is 1.11 minimum. Determine the Safety limit is NOT met, the appropriate actions to take, and combine that with the basis for the Safety Limit (see below).
"The reactor core SLs are established to protect the integrity of the fuel clad barrier to the release of radioactive materials to the environs. SL 2.1.1.1 and SL 2.1.1.2 ensure that the core operates within the fuel design criteria. SL 2.1.1.3 ensures that the reactor vessel water level is greater than the top of the active irradiated fuel in order to prevent elevated clad temperatures and resultant clad perforations.
Exceeding an SL may cause fuel damage and create a potential VIOLA TlONS for radioactive releases in excess of 10 CFR 50.67, "Accident Source Term," limits (Ref. 3). Therefore, it is required to insert all insertable control rods and restore compliance with the SLs within 2 hours. The 2-hour Completion Time ensures that the operators take prompt remedial action and also ensures that the probability of an accident occurring during this period is minimal.

With any SL violation, the following actions shall be completed within 2 hours: 2.2.1 Restore compliance with all SLs; and 2.2.2 Insert all insertable control rods." Safety limit violated, action required and posible consequences to not restoring safety limit. A - correct: B - incorrect: because the restoration of the Safety Limit is only part of the required action, even when compliance with the safety limit may be restored. This condition also requires a reactor shutdown. C - incorrect: correct action but wrong safety limit. The second part of this choice is the basis for SL 2.1.2, NOT the one in the stem. D - incorrect: because the restoration of the Safety Limit is only part of the required action, even when compliance with the safety limit may be restored. This condition also requires a reactor shutdown. The second part of this choice is the basis for SL 2.1.2, Sunday, February 17, 2008 3:28:27 PM 16

Reactor Core SLs B 2.1.1 BASES APPLICABLE 2.1.1.2 MCPR SAFETY ANALYSES (continued) The fuel cladding integrity SL is set such that no fuel damage is calculated to occur if the limit is not violated. Since the parameters that result in fuel damage are not directly observable during reactor operation, the thermal and hydraulic conditions that result in the onset of transition boiling have been used to mark the beginning -of the region in which fuel damage could occur. Although it is recognized that the onset of transition boiling would not result in damage to BWR fuel rods, the critical power at which boiling transition is calculated to occur has been adopted as a convenient limit. However, the uncertainties in monitoring the core operating state and in the procedures used to calculate the critical power result in an uncertainty in the value of the critical power. Therefore, the fuel cladding integrity SL is defined as the critical power ratio in the limiting fuel assembly for which more than 99.9% of the fuel rods in the core are expected to avoid boiling transition, considering the power distribution within the core and all uncertainties. The MCPR SL is determined using a statistical model that combines all the uncertainties in operating parameters and the procedures used to calculate critical power. The probability of the occurrence of bOiling transition is determined using the approved General Electric Critical Power correlations. Details of the fuel cladding integrity SL calculation are given in Reference 2. Reference 2 also includes a tabulation of the uncertainties used in the determination of the MCPR SL and of the nominal values of the parameters used in the MCPR SL statistical analysis.

A fire watch in specified fire areas qualifies as an Equivalent Shutdown Capability, and since the the equivalent shutdown capability is the fire watch, then PORC review is required every 60 days. Manual #: Fire Protection Report, Vol. 1 PLANT: BFN UNIT(s):1/2/3 PAGE 462 of 915 TITLE: Appendix R Safe Shutdown Program SECTION: 4 REV: 0 (EXCERPT) COMPENSATORY MEASURES: A. Restore the equipment function in 7 days or provide equivalent shutdown capability by one of the following methods:
- 1) A temporary alteration in accordance with plant procedures that allows the equipment to perform its intended function, or
- 2) A fire watch in accordance with the site impairment program in the affected areas/zones as specified in Section III.
Note: Fire watch requirements in the Turbine Building (FA #25) and Control Building (FA #16) may be evaluated on a case by case basis due to the large size of these areas. For example, fire watches in the Turbine Building can be limited to within 20 feet of the south wall (near M-Line wall on EL 565' and 586') or the Intake Pumping Station due to the location of the RHRSW power cables in the areas. No Safe Shutdown circuits are located in any other location within the Turbine building. Control Building areas, even though not separated by fire resistive barriers, provide substantial protection against the spread of fire due to installed fire suppression systems and concrete floor slabs and walls. The potential of fire spread between control building compartments and the turbine building compartments has been evaluated in Section 3.0 of the IPEEE Fire Induced Vulnerability Evaluations for Units 1-3 (Reference A 16 Section 3). These evaluations may be reviewed to determine the extent of fire watches.
- 3) If equivalent shutdown capability is used, restore the equipment function in 60 days or provide an engineering evaluation and a change to this program that provides an alternate method to perform the Appendix R function, otherwise provide PORC review and Plant Manager Approval of the equivalent shutdown capability to ensure its adequacy. This review shall be conducted every 60 days until an alternate method is in place. Site Engineering may be contacted for assistance in determining what constitutes equivalent shutdown capability.

The fire watch is required in the area of the PROTECTED train or component, not the AFFECTED train or component. B - incorrect: Fire area 16 is the incorrect location. The fire watch is required in the area of the PROTECTED train or component, not the AFFECTED train or component. The second part of the answer is correct to ensure the adequacy of an Equivalent Shutdown Capability if the component will not be restored for 130 days. C - incorrect: The fire areas are correct, however the second part of the answer is incorrect based on the duration required for an Equivalent Shutdown Capability of 130 days. Two PORC reviews will be required. Sunday, February 17, 2008 3:28:27 PM 19

0610 NRC SRO Exam REFERENCE PROVIDED: None Plausibility Analysis: In order to answer this question correctly, the candidate must determine the following: The leak in the condensate system which necessitated removing the condensate pumps from service resulted in an isolation of the operating SJAE from low condensate flow. This will result in lowering vacuum. Although the leak in the condensate system will cause lower hotwell level, the makeup from the CST would maintain sufficient level to preclude losing vacuum. To continue a cooldown to the condenser, vacuum must be restored. Since use of SJAEs is prevented with no condensate flow, the only remaining alternative is to use the Condenser Vacuum Pumps. D is correct: A is incorrect: Hotwell level will not result in lowering vacuum until makeup from the CST is no longer available. In addition, restoration of the Steam Jet Air Ejector is not possible without condensate flow. B is incorrect: The cause of lowering vacuum is correct. However, restoration of the Steam Jet Air Ejector is not possible without condensate flow. C is incorrect: Hotwell level will not result in lowering vacuum until makeup from the CST is no longer available. However, starting the COndenser Vacuum Pump will restore condenser vacuum.

0610 NRC SRO Exam REFERENCE PROVIDED: None piausibility Analysis: In order to answer this question correctly, the candidate must determine the following: Without references, the candidate must recognize that EOI-2, "Primary Containment Control" actions are in progress based on current plant conditions. Although the H2/02 monitors isolated due to a Group 6 PCIS isolation signal, provisions are made on EOI-2 to bypass that isolation and restore the monitors to service. In addition, recent modifications have procedurally removed the CAD system from available containment atmosphere control options unless Severe Accident Management Guidelines are in progress. This leaves only the normal Nitrogen Makeup System available for atmosphere control since SAMG entry was avoided by level recovery. A - correct: B - incorrect: Although the Containment H2/02 Monitors are available, the atmosphere control is NOT from the CAD System. C - incorrect: Grab samples taken by Chemistry are only necessary if the Containment H2/02 Monitors are unavailable. However, the Nitrogen Makeup System is used to control primary containment atmosphere. D - incorrect: Grab samples taken by Chemistry are only necessary if the Containment H2/02 Monitors are unavailable. In addition, the atmosphere control is NOT from the CAD System.

OPL 171.032 Revision 12 Page 10 of 48 IX. Introduction The Containment Inerting and Purge Systems provide for inerting and make-up of nitrogen to the primary containment during normal operations, and purging primary containment when access is desired. The Containment Atmosphere Dilution System is used for the dilution of the primary containment atmosphere following a LOCA, to ensure oxygen concentrations remain less than 5% and hydrogen concentrations remain less than 4%. Review BFN plant work expectations as they apply to this lesson plan.
OPL 171.032 Revision 12 Page 22 of 48 INSTRUCTOR NOTES B. Containment Atmosphere Dilution (CAD) System TP-3
- 1. In normal operation, the primary containment atmosphere is maintained at less than 3.5% oxygen levels by the Nitrogen Storage and Supply System.
- 2. Following a loss-of-coolant accident, hydrogen is Obj. V.E.9 produced in the containment from zirc-water reactions, and H2 and 02 are produced from radiolytic decomposition of water. If uncontrolled the concentration of oxygen and hydrogen could get to a combustible gas mixture.
- 3. The CAD System is used in the post LOCA condition to prevent the containment atmosphere from reaching a combustible mixture, by diluting the atmosphere with nitrogen and venting as necessary.
The CAD System also serves as a backup Obj. V.B.7 pneumatic supply to the Drywell Control Air System.
- 4. System Design Basis
- a. CAD is shared system, and can supply TP-3
( nitrogen to any of the three units.
- b. CAD can supply nitrogen at rate sufficient to maintain the oxygen concentrations of both the drywell and torus below 5% by volume, (based on calculated generation rates) and the hydrogen concentrations to less than 4%
by volume.
- c. The containment atmospheric dilution portion TP-3 of CAD system is an engineered safety feature. The system is remote-manually operated from the control room and must be able to start within ten hours following a LOCA.
- 5. Basic Flow Path
- a. Nitrogen is supplied from one of the storage Obj. V.B.8 tanks through its associated ambient Obj. V.C.4 vaporizer, and electric heaters.
- b. Flow is then directed to the drywell and/or Obj. V.E.10 torus (via flow unit specific control valves). Obj. VD.3.a

With the SP Cooling valves re-aligned, the line may drain down while the DIGs start and re-energize the RHR pumps. To minimize the potential of this condition occurring, the following guidelines should be used to try and maintain the system below the PSA Risk Assessment goals:
- 1. RHR in suppression pool cooling should be minimized.
- 2. Two Loops of RHR in suppression pool cooling should be minimized.
- 3. Use two pumps per loop, if needed, to maximize suppression pool cooling in order to minimize total time spent in suppression pool cooling.
A - correct: B - incorrect: Although the basis is correct, there is no requirement to operate more than one loop of RHR in SP Cooling. C - incorrect: Although the RHR lineup is correct, the basis for the lineup is incorrect. The RHR system has a blue light on Panel 9-3 that will de-energize if the SP Cooling valve is opened too far such that LPCI injection is delayed pending valve re-alignment. Although this limitation is a concern, it is NOT based on the potential for a LOSS of injection, but a DELAY in injection.

SSINS No.: 6835 IN 87-10 UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION OFFICE OF INSPECTION AND ENFORCEMENT WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555 February 11, 1987 Information Notice No. 87-10: POTENTIAL FOR WATER HAMMER DURING RESTART OF RESIDUAL HEAT REMOVAL PUMPS Addressees: All boiling water reactor (BWR) facilities holding an operating license or a construction permit. Purpose: This information notice is to alert addressees of the potential for water hammer in the residual heat removal (RHR) system of BWRs during a design basis loss of coolant accident (LOCA) coincident with a loss of offsite power (LOOP) if the RHR system is aligned to suppression pool cooling. Recipients are expected to review the information for applicability to their facilities and consider actions, if appropriate, to preclude similar problems occurring at their facilities. However, suggestions contained in this information notice do not constitute NRC requirements; therefore, no specific action or written response is required. Description of Circumstances: On December 11, 1986, the Susquehanna nuclear power plant reported that based on results of an ongoing review of the potential effects of water hammer events, the RHR system could be susceptible to water hammer loads that would exceed the allowable stresses in the RHR system and piping. The specific condition of concern involves a design-basis LOCA coincident with a LOOP, while one or one RHR loops are in the suppression pool cooling mode. During the power loss and subsequent valve realignment, portions of the RHR system will void because of the drain down to the suppression pool as a result of elevation differences. A water hammer may occur in those RHR loops that were in the suppression pool cooling mode when the RHR pumps restart after the diesel generators reenergize the buses. The core spray system also may be subject to such a water hammer if it is lined up in the suppression pool mixing mode full flow test. The Susquehanna design basis for LOCA/LOOP assumes that the suppression pool cooling flow path valves are initially closed in the standby lineup. The potential duration factor used in the consideration of the coincident LOCA/LOOP with the RHR in suppression pool cooling mode was one percent, or roughly 90 hours per year. 8702100126 IN 87-10 February 11, 1987 Page 2 of 2 Contrary to the design basis assumption, a licensee review of operating history found that the worst case RHR system usage factor approached 25% during cycles in which significant safety relief valve weeping was experienced.
For interim corrective action, the licensee has modified operating procedures to allow, at a time, only one loop of RHR to operate in suppression pool cooling. In addition, the licensee will revise plant procedures to address the restart of an RHR pump if it trips while operating in the suppression pool cooling mode. The core spray system is currently prohibited from being operated in the suppression pool mixing mode, except for required surveillance testing. Discussion: The NRC discussed the potential for this general type of event in Engineering Evaluation No. AEODjE309, "The Potential for Water Hammer During the Restart of RHR Pumps at BWR Nuclear Power Plants," dated April 1983. In the type of scenario discussed in AEODjE309, the line most likely to drain and experience a water hammer is the drywell spray line because it has the largest elevation difference between it and the suppression pool. RHR system pipes less than 33 feet above the suppression pool will not usually drain because atmospheric pressure will support a column of water that high. A water hammer in the drywell spray line could endanger RHR system integrity, and thus jeopardize all modes of RHR including low-pressure coolant injection. The analysis performed by the licensee of the Susquehanna nuclear power plant goes beyond AEODjE309 in that detailed site-specific computer modeling was performed which shows that piping system integrity could be challenged. Besides Susquehanna, other plants may have high usage factors for suppression pool cooling mode and large elevations differences in the RHR system, making those plants potentially subject to water hammer in the RHR system. No specific action or written response is required by this information ( notice.

BFN Intermediate Range Monitors 3-01-92A Unit 3 Rev. 0014 Page 8 of 15 3.0 PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS (continued) L. [11fF] An IRM or SRM may be bypassed in the following conditions:
- 1. STOP control rod withdrawal and PLACE the channel in bypass when the SRM or IRM first gets noisy.
- 2. STOP control rod withdrawal and PLACE the channel in bypass immediately upon receipt of a single event large noise spike.
These conditions bypass the instrument for an operability assessment based on whether the noise is transitory or sustained. Transitory noise is considered a one time occurrence that does not repeat itself and the channel can be removed from bypass and restored to service. Sustained noise is when the duration exceeds 15 minutes and may result in signal build up until a trip signal is reached. If a trip or high flux signal was generated, the channel is required to be observed for at least 15 minutes before returning the instrument to service with concurrence from System Engineering. When the initial assessment and recognition of the magnitude of the event has been determined, then control rod withdrawal may be resumed where it has been left off as long as the minimum number of SRM and IRM channels operable are within the Technical Specification limits.

0610 NRC SRO Exam REFERENCE PROVIDED: EOI Caution 1, Curve 8, Table 6, PIP 95-64 Plausibility Analysis: In order to answer this question correctly, the candidate must determine the following:
- 1. RPV pressure vs. temperature is in the UNSAFE area of Curve 8, RPV Saturation Temp.
- 2. Perfdrm corrections to L,I-3-5f ~ 62A using PIP 95-64 to determine their proximity to TAF;.
- 3. Recognize Ll3-53, 60, 206 & 55 are indicating below their Minimum Indicated Level for the current temperatures in the Secondary Containment.
- 4. Recognize that erratic indication on LI-3-58A & 58B is indicative of reference leg flashing.
- 5. Recognize the difference between "flashing" and "notching" with respect to indicated instrument response.
B - correct: A - incorrect: Flashing steam in the reference legs of LI-3-58A1B is indication of a loss of RPV level instrumentation since Curve 8, RPV Saturation Temp is currently unsafe. However, the correct action is to enter 3-EOI-C4, RPV Flooding. This is plausible because LI-3-52 and 62A are approaching
.IAE: which would indicate a need totransition to 3-EOI-C1, "Alternate Level Control."
C - incorrect: Noncondensible gases are indicative of "Notching" instruments caused
., by rapid depressurization. In addition, the incorrect EOI flowchart is entered. This is plausible because LI-3-52 and 62A are approaching IAI=,. which would indicate a need to transition to 3~EOI-C1, "Alternate Level Control."
D - incorrect: Non-condensible gases are indicative of "Notching" instruments caused by rapid depressurization. However, the correct EOI flowchart is entered due to a loss of RPV level instrumentation. Sunday, February 17, 2008 3:28:27 PM 37

- d. It is important to note that the information SER 03-05 presented in Caution #1 is not just a simple accommodation for inaccuracies in RPV water level indication which occur when plant conditions are different from those for which the instruments are calibrated. Rather, the caution defines conditions under which the displayed value and the indicated trend of RPV water level cannot be relied upon.
- e. Part B of Caution #1 identifies the limiting SER 03-05 conditions beyond which water in instrument legs may boil. Water in the RPV water level instrument legs is maintained in a liquid state by cooling action of the surrounding atmosphere and pressure in the reactor vessel. Water in the instrument legs will boil, however, if its temperature exceeds saturation temperature for the existing RPV pressure.
- f. Boiling is a concern in both horizontal and SER 03-05 vertical reference and variable instrument leg runs. Boil-off from reference leg water inventory reduces the reference head of water, decreases dP sensed by the instrument, and results in an erroneously high indicated RPV water level. Boiling in the instrument's variable leg exerts increased pressure on the variable leg side of the dP cell. This effect results in a lower sensed dP and an erroneously high indicated RPV water level.
- g. Part B of Caution #1 references the RPV SER 03-05 Saturation Temperature Curve (Curve 8) The RPV Saturation Temperature Curve is generic, based simply on the properties of water. The axis for RPV pressure is plotted from atmospheric pressure to the pressure setpoint of the lowest lifting MSRV. Note that the temperature axis of the RPV Saturation Temperature Curve is not simply drywell temperature. Depending upon the relative location of instrument reference legs and variable legs, indications from monitors near instrument runs must be considered.
OPL 171.201 Revision 7 Page 34 of 117 INSTRUCTOR NOTES
- h. Because BFN does not have the capability of directly reading temperature indications near instrument runs located in secondary containment, the RPV Saturation Temperature Curve (Curve 8) is supplemented with Table 6, Secondary Containment Instrument Runs. Table 6 identifies the temperature elements and general locations for the instrument runs to each RPV water level instrument.
L Caution 1 part B says instruments "may be unreliable" if Curve 8 is exceeded. This means instruments may continue to be used until and unless erratic indication is observed since momentary excursions (expected in some post LOCA situations) into curve 8 unsafe region will not result in boiling. If, however, indications of boiling are observed then that instrument is unusable until the instrument lines can be cooled and refilled. J. Part A of Caution #1 allows the operator to The instrument determine if each indicated RPV water level will indicate high range is reliable by being above the Minimum by the amount of Indicated Level for each of a series of this offset instrument run temperature ranges. throughout its Engineering calculations have determined range. that when indicated RPV water level is above the Minimum Indicated Level, the operator is assured that actual RPV water level is above the instrument variable leg tap, and trends are valid.
- k. The Minimum Indicated Level is defined to be SER 03-05 the highest RPV water level instrument indication which results from off-calibration instrument run temperature conditions when RPV water level is actually at the elevation of the instrument variable leg tap. Separate levels are provided for each RPV water level instrument.

0610 NRC SRO Exam REFERENCE PROVIDED: None Plausibility Analysis: In order to answer this question correctly, the candidate must determine the following: Based on current conditions, whether natural circulation is available or Whether forced circulation is required. Natural circulation is accomplished only if RPV level is above the top of the moisture seperators to complete a path for circulation through the active fuel region and back into the downcomer region outside the core shroud. An RPV level of (+) 80 inches given in the stem allows natural circulation. In addition, the candidate must determine the amount of decay heat removal necessary based on current conditions. With reactor coolant temperature below saturation, ambient losses are sufficient 18 hours after shutdown as long as some circulation of coolant is available. Based on the answers determined for parts one and two, a proper course of action must be determined to restore a primary method of decay heat removal. The logical choice is to restore SD Cooling by taking the appropriate steps to restore RPS, reset the PCIS isolation, and re-align the RHR system. A - correct: B - incorrect: Although (1) and (3) are correct, the Alternate Decay Heat Removal lineup also requires RPS power and PCIS reset. In addition, this lineup is designed as a backup to fuel pool cooling decay heat removal, not directly from fuel loaded in the reactor vessel. C - incorrect: Temperature monitoring IS available via natural convection circulation. Since part (1) is incorrect, part (3) is not correct. Restarting Recirc Pumps is not required to restore temperature monitoring. However, although not required, the RWCU system is capable of removing decay heat in excess of ambient losses, so this lineup would be appropriate if Parts (1) and (3) were corrrect. D - incorrect: Temperature monitoring IS available via natural convection circulation. Since part (1) is incorrect, part (3) is not correct. Restarting Recirc Pumps is not required to restore temperature monitoring. The Alternate Decay Heat Removal lineup also requires RPS power and PCIS reset. In addition, this lineup is designed as a backup to fuel pool cooling decay heat removal, not directly from fuel loaded in the reactor vessel. Sunday, February 17, 2008 3:28:27 PM 40

If removing two fuses research the logic carefully for effects on RPS and RPTs. If two fuses are removed, one fuse in an "A" channel and one fuse in a B channel, and a Rx scram and turbine trip occur while these fuses are removed, they are required to be reinstalled in order to reset the scram and RPT logic.

Level of Knowledge Justification: This question is rated as CIA due to the requirement to assemble, sort, and integrate the parts of the question to predict an outcome. This requires mentally using this knowledge and its meaning to predict the correct outcome. SRO Level Justification: This question satisfies the requirements of 10 CFR 55.43(b) (4) Radiation hazards that may arise during normal and abnormal situations, including maintenance activities and various contamination conditions. 0610 NRC SRO Exam REFERENCE PROVIDED: None Plausibility Analysis: In order to answer this question correctly, the candidate must determine the following: Without references, determine the appropriate notification requirements, procedure entry and basis for a rupture in the radwaste system. D is correct. A is incorrect. A radcon survey is not required in accordance with EPIP-13 until directed by either EPIP-2 through EPIP-5. B is incorrect. A chemistry sample is appripriate but entrance into EPIP-13 is not required until an Emergency Classification has been entered. This may or may not occur depending on the results of the chemistry sample. C is incorrect. A radcon survey is not required in accordance with EPIP-13 until directed by either EPIP-2 through EPIP-5. In addition, determination of ECls is by chemistry sample, not radiation surveys. Sunday, February 17, 20084:52:33 PM 45
BROWNS FERRY EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION PROCEDURE TECHNICAL BASIS EPIP-1 ( UNUSUAL EVENT
- EAL: liquid release rate exceeds 20 times ECl as determined by chemistry sample AND Release duration exceeds or will exceed 60 minutes.
OPERATING CONDITION: All BASIS: Liquid release rates are determined using Surveillance Instructions which utilize liquid samples rather than instrument readings for activity determination. Effluent Concentration Limits (ECl) are those annual concentrations given in 10CFR20 Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2. 10 times ECl is equivalent to the instantaneous ODCM limit. Unplanned radioactivity releases that exceed 20 times ECl (2 times ODCM limit) and continue for 60 minutes or longer represent an uncontrolled situation and potential degradation in the level of safety of the plant. The release should not be averaged over 60 minutes. For example, a release of 40 times ECl for 30 minutes does not meet the requirements of this event classification. The 60 minute time period allows sufficient time to isolate any release after exceeding ECL. Greater than 60 minutes represents inability to isolate or control the release. The Site Emergency Director should declare the event as soon as it is determined that the release duration has or will likely exceed 60 minutes. The Chemistry Department ( determines the magnitude of the release by sample procedure for any release as required by initiating procedures (Le., SI, ARP, AOI, EOI). The sample results are reported to the Site Emergency Director as a fraction or multiple of ECL. Escalation to Alert is based on release in excess of 2000 times ECl for greater than 15 minutes.

I BROWNS FERRY DOSE ASSESSMENT EPIP-13
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose The purpose of this procedure is to describe actions and responsibilities of Radiation Protection (RP) personnel during an assessment of environmental radiological conditions at Browns Ferry. EPIP-13 will be initiated when the RP Shift Supervisor or designee requests or requires information regarding dose assessment. EPIP-13 contains instructions for RP regarding methods for Projecting Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) and Thyroid Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE) from airborne radioactivity releases. The method for projecting TEDE and/or CDE from airborne radioactivity releases may be requested by Operations to support the emergency classification process and/or protective action recommendations. The use of this method should only be utilized in the absence of more sophisticated dose models, when the Central Emergency Control Center (CECC) is not activated. This procedure will normally be initiated by way of EPIP-1, "Emergency Classification Procedure".

IBROWNS FERRY DOSE ASSESSMENT EPIP-13
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose The purpose of this procedure is to describe actions and responsibilities of Radiation Protection (RP) personnel during an assessment of environmental radiological conditions at Browns Ferry. EPIP-13 will be initiated when the RP Shift Supervisor or designee requests or requires information regarding dose assessment. EPIP-13 contains instructions for RP regarding methods for Projecting Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) and Thyroid Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE) from airborne radioactivity releases. The method for projecting TEDE and/or CDE from airborne radioactivity releases may be requested by Operations to support the emergency classification process and/or protective action recommendations. The use of this method should only be utilized in the absence of more sophisticated dose models, when the Central Emergency Control Center (CECC) is not activated. This procedure will normally be initiated by way of EPIP-1, "Emergency Classification Procedure".

0610 NRC SRO Exam REFERENCE PROVIDED: None Plausibility Analysis: In order to answer this question correctly, the candidate must determine the following: Whether or not a Group 6 isolation has occurred based on current conditions. If an isolation has occurred, whether performing EOI Appendicies 8E and 8F is required to restore Reactor and Refuel Zone ventilation and the basis for that conclusion. If an isolation has NOT occurred, whether performing EOI Appendicies 8E and 8F will maintain Reactor and Refuel Zone ventilation in service and the basis for that conclusion. A - correct: B - incorrect: Ventilation has isolated on a Group 6 isolation. However, performing EOI Appendicies 8E and 8F ARE required to prevent a Group I isolation signal due to steam tunnel high temperature, thus preventing the main condenser from being utilized as the primary heat sink. C - incorrect: Although ventilation has isolated on a Group 6 isolation signal, performing EOI Appendicies 8E and 8F would be appropriate to maintain RCIC availability due to high temperature in the reactor building had the Group 6 isolation NOT occurred. D - incorrect: Although ventilation has isolated on a Group 6 isolation signal, performing EOI Appendicies 8E and 8F would be appropriate to prevent a Group I isolation signal due to steam tunnel high temperature, thus preventing the main condenser from being utilized as the primary heat sink.

EOI-3, SECONDARY CONTAINMENT CONTROL BASES EOI PROGRAM MANUAL SECTION ON-E I DISCUSSION: PURPOSE: EOI-3 The purpose of EOI-3, Secondary Containment Control, is to protect equipment in secondary containment, limit I radioactivity release to secondary containment, and either: 1) maintain secondary containment integrity, or 2) limit radioactivity release from secondary containment. The purpose of this procedure relates directly to the basic functions perfonned by secondary containment structures:
- 1. Containing fission products that may leak from primary containment.
- 2. Minimizing ground level releases of airborne radioactive material by discharge through an elevated release point.
- 3. Shielding personnel from radiation that penetrates primary containment.
- 4. Providing a protected environment for key equipment important to safety.
The procedure's purpose is accomplished through concurrent control of secondary containment temperatures, water levels, and radiation levels. (~ *

. . .S.C.C.-l. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..
This retainment override step applies throughout performance ofEOI-3, Secondary Containment Control. The first and second retainment override statements direct the operator to verify both isolation of Reactor Zone and/or Refuel Zone Ventilation, and initiation of SGTS, when high ventilation exhaust radiation isolation setpoint for the respective system has been reached. Confirming isolation of Reactor Zone and/or Refuel Zone Ventilation after receipt ofa high radiation isolation signal halts any further release of radioactivity to the environment from these systems. SGTS is normally used
.under post-accident conditions to maintain secondary containment pressure negative with respect to outside atmosphere, since exhaust from SGTS is processed before being discharged to the environment through an elevated release point.
The third and fourth retainment override statements direct the operator to restart Reactor Zone and/or Refuel Zone Ventilation Systems once it has been confirmed that excessive radioactivity release will not occur from system operation. Reactor Zone and Refuel Zone Ventilation Systems are normally used to maintain secondary containment temperature and differential pressure within operational limits. Once it has been confirmed that restart will not result in an excessive release of radioactivity to the environment, it is appropriate to restart these systems and use them to restore and maintain secondary containment temperature and pressure. Authorization and step-by-step guidance is provided in EOI Appendix 8E to defeat high drywell pressure and low RPV water level Group 6 isolation interlocks for these systems, if necessary, since these isolations serve to limit radioactivity release to the environment, and become dispensable once it is assured that excessive release of radioactivity will not occur. EOI Appendix 8F provides guidance to restore Reactor Zone Ventilation following a Group 6 isolation.

I DISCUSSION: STEP C5-9 I This action step directs the operator to bypass any low RPV water level isolation interlock that may cause the MSIVs to close. System specific EOI Appendices provide step-by-step guidance for bypassing isolation interlocks.
.
Subsequent actions in this procedure may lower RPV water level to or below the low RPV water level isolation setpoint for MSIVs, when conditions are most desirable to maintain use of the main condenser as the heat sink. The MSIV low-low-low RPV water level isolation interlock is bypassed using the guidance in EOI Appendix 8A to ensure that the main condenser remains available as a heat sink ifRPV water level is lowered past the MSIV isolation setpoint. The reactor building ventilation low RPV water level isolation interlock is bypassed using the guidance in EOI Appendix 8E because reactor building ventilation is necessary for maintaining steam tunnel temperatures below their isolation setpoint. If the steam tunnel temperature exceeds the MSIV isolation setpoint, the main condenser is lost as a heat sink. The drywell control air low RPV water level isolation interlock is bypassed using the guidance in EOI Appendix 8e to ensure that adequate pneumatic pressure is available to maintain open the inboard MSIVs. If drywell control air is lost, the inboard MSIVs may inadvertently close. Other MSIV isolation interlocks (i.e., main steam high flow and steam tunnel high temperature) are not bypassed. These isolations are required to provide automatic protection for conditions where preventing the closure of the MSIVs is not appropriate. Maintaining the MSNs open is conditioned as follows:
- 1. The main condenser must remain available, since the only reason for maintaining the MSIV s open is to utilize the main condenser as the heat sink.
- 2. There must be no indication of "gross" fuel failure, since maintaining the MSIVs open with grossly failed fuel could result in a significant release of fission products to the envirorunent. "Gross" fuel failure is specified here to distinguish from small cladding leaks.
The judgment is subjective, based on operator assessment of all available indications.
- 3. There must be no indication of a steam line break. Maintaining the MSIVs open with a break in the downstream piping could result in an uncontrolled loss of reactor coolant
- inventory, release fission products to the environment, and cause personnel injury or significant damage to plant equipment.

0610 NRC SRO Exam REFERENCE PROVIDED: None Plausibility Analysis: In order to answer this question correctly, the candidate must determine the following: Based on current plant conditions, Unit-1 is in Mode 3. In addition, the candidate must recall from memory that the bases for Tech Spec 3.5.1 requires the discharge valve on the associated Recirc Loop to be operable for the RHR Loop to be operable for LPCI injection. Given that condition, recognize that RHR Loop II injects into Recirc Loop "A", therefore, RHR Loop II is inoperable for LPCI injection. Furthermore, recall from memory that aligning RHR for Shutdown Cooling will also make that RHR Loop inoperable for LPCI injection. Based on that determination, aligning RHR Loop II for Shutdown Cooling is the only acceptable alternative to preserve an operable RHR Loop for LPCI injection capability until Mode 4 is achieved. B - correct: A - incorrect: On Unit-1, RHR Loop II injects into Recic Loop "A" for LPCI injection, therefore RHR Loop II is INOP, not RHR Loop I. However, if the first part of answer "A" were correct, aligning RHR Loop I for SO Cooling would be appropriate .. C - incorrect: On Unit-1, RHR Loop II injects into Recic Loop "A" for LPCI injection, therefore RHR Loop II is INOP, not RHR Loop I. However, aligning RHR Loop II for Shutdown Cooling would be appropriate.

ECCS - Operating B 3.5.1 BASES BACKGROUND at 0.2 seconds when offsite power is available and B, C, and D (continued) pumps approximately 7, 14, and 21 seconds afterwards and if offsite power is not available all pumps 7 seconds after diesel generator power is available). When the RPV pressure drops sufficiently, CS System flow to the RPV begins. A full flow test line is provided to route water from and to the suppression pool to allow testing of the CS System without spraying water in the RPV. LPCI is an independent operating mode of the RHR System. There are two LPCI subsystems (Ref. 2), each consisting of two motor driven pumps and piping and valves to transfer water from the suppression pool to the RPV via the corresponding recirculation loop. The two LPCI pumps and associated motor operated valves in each LPCI subsystem are powered from separate 4 kV shutdown boards. Both pumps in a LPCI subsystem inject water into the reactor vessel through a common inboard
- injection valve and de..:: i II 1111: I.
,e subsystem's common inboard injection valve and recirculation pump discharge valve are powered from one of the two 4 kV shutdown boards associated with that subsystem.
ECCS Preferred Pump Logic In the event of a spurious accident Signal in Unit 2 combined with a real accident in Unit 1 (or a spurious accident signal in Unit 1 with a real accident in Unit 2) the CS and LPCI preferred pump logic will dedicate the Division I CS and LPCI pumps to Unit 1 (1A and 1C) and the Division II pumps to Unit 2 (2B and 2D). Therefore, a spurious accident signal from Unit 2 (which is considered a single failure) results in two RHR pumps and one CS loop (two CS pumps) OPERABLE for Unit 1 (refer to Bases Sections B 3.3.5.1 and B 3.8.1).

RCS Pressure SL B 2.1.2 BASES (continued) APPLICABLE The RCS safety/relief valves and the Reactor Protection SAFETY ANALYSES System Reactor Vessel Steam Dome Pressure - High Function have settings established to ensure that the RCS pressure SL will not be exceeded. The RCS pressure SL has been selected such that it is at a pressure below which it can be shown that the integrity of the system is not endangered. The reactor pressure vessel is designed to Section III of the ASME, Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, 1965 Edition, including Addenda through the summer of 1965 (Ref. 5), which permits a maximum pressure transient of 110%, 1375 psig, of design pressure 1250 psig. The SL of 1325 psig, as measured in the reactor steam dome is equivalent to 1375 psig at the lowest elevation of the RCS. The RCS is designed to the USAS Nuclear Power Piping Code, Section B31.1, 1967 Edition (Ref. 6), and the additional requirements of GE design and procurement specifications (Ref. 7) which were implemented in lieu of the outdated B31 Nuclear Code Cases - N2, N7, N9, and N10, for the reactor recirculation piping, which permits a maximum pressure transient of 120% of design pressures of 1148 psig for suction piping and 1326 psig for discharge piping. The RCS pressure SL is selected to be the lowest transient overpressure allowed by the applicable codes. SAFETY LIMITS The maximum transient pressure allowable in the RCS pressure vessel under the ASME Code, Section III, is 110% of design pressure. The maximum transient pressure allowable in the RCS piping, valves, and fittings is 120% of design pressures of 1148 psig for suction piping and 1326 psig for discharge piping.

0610 NRC SRO Exam REFERENCE PROVIDED: None Plausibility Analysis: The primary decisions that must be made to correctly answer this question are:
- 1. Can the purge be started immediately or must it commence after power is reduced
. below 15%?
- 2. Which system is preferred to establish containment purge?
Although the TS bases for 3.6.3.2 is clear in describing the ability to commence purging 24 hours prior to going less than 15% RTP, the wording in Applicability (Q) of TS 3.6.3.2 has been known to cause confusion. This makes Distractors A and B plaUsible. The ability to simultaneously purge the Drywell and Torus is well within the capability of the system, however this is prohibited due to an analysis of the potential for containment over-pressurization if a LOCA occurred during the evolution. This makes Distractors A and B plausible because the purge lineup is available. D - correct: The shutdown is scheduled, therefore you can begin de-inerting 24 hours prior to reducing power < 15%. Additionally, Standby Gas Treatment is NOT the preferred method for purging containment. A - incorrect: is incorrect since you don't have to wait until 15% power to start de-inerting. B - incorrect: You don't have to wait until 15% power to start de-inerting however, the Purge Fan and RB Ventilation is the preferred method to purge the containment. C - incorrect: is incorrect since Standby Gas Treatment is NOT the preferred method for purging containment. Sunday, February 17, 2008 3:28:28 PM 61

TOE 0-97-064-0823 evaluated the impact of inerting or purging Suppression Chamber and Drywell concurrently (Both FCV 64-19 and FCV 64-18 open at the same time). This evaluation concluded there is a slight potential to over pressurize primary containment in the event of a large break LOCA with both FCV 64-19 and FCV 64-18 open at the same time with Reactor NOT in Cold Shutdown. This situation could create a large bypass flow path between the Drywell and the Suppression Chamber. Therefore, Suppression Chamber and the Drywell are NOT allowed be inerted or purged at the same time when Reactor is NOT in Cold Shutdown. P. Unless authorized by Shift Manager, applicable CAD TANK, level indicator's in the main control rooms (Unit 1 or 3) is required to be indicating 100% prior to filling/topping off Nitrogen tanks A or B (Refer to 2(3)-01-84 for filling CAD TANKS) Q. Drywell O2 CONCENTRATION indicators on Panels 2:..9-54 and 2-9-55 are no longer calibrated in the high range. PIP-97-189 should be used to correct O2 CONCENTRATION value as a reference until a grab sample is taken.

0610 NRC SRO Exam REFERENCE PROVIDED: None Plausibility Analysis: In order to answer this question correctly, the candidate must determine the following:
- 1. Recognize how a loss of Div 1 logic power affects the RHR pump initiation logic.
- 2. Recognize the difference between Unit-3 logic and Unit 1/2 logic.
- 3. Determine the correct application of EOI requirements with RPV level below TAF.
A* correct: B
- incorrect: '3A' and '3C' RHR pumps auto start in LPCI mode. It is NOT appropriate to divert LPCI injection for containment control until RPV level has been restored above TAF. This is plausible because the RHR Div I pumps on Unit 1/2 will NOT start automatically.
C* incorrect: '3A' RHR pump will auto start in LPCI mode. '3C' and '3D' RHR pumps were NOT affected by the logic power failure and would start in LPCI mode. This is plausible because the CAS logic for Unit 1/2 are divided into "preferred" and "non-preferred" pumps as well as "divisionalized initiation logic." D

- g. 4KV Shutdown Board Load Shed Obj. V.C.B.
(1 ) A stripping of motor loads on the 4KV boards occurs when the board experiences an undervoltage condition. This is referred to as a 4KV Load Shed. This shed prepares the board for the DG ensuring the DG will tie on to the bus unloaded and without faults. (2) The Load Shed occurs when an undervoltage is experienced on the board i.e. or if the Diesel were tied to the board (only source) and one of the units experienced an accident signal which trips the Diesel output breaker. (3) Then, when the Diesel output breaker interlocks are satisfied, the DG output breaker would close and, if an initiation signal is present (CAS) the RHR, CS, and RHRSW pumps would sequence on (4) Following an initiation of a Common Accident Signal (which trips the diesel breaker), if a subsequent accident signal is received from another unit, a second diesel breaker trip on a "unit priority" basis is provided to ensure that the Shutdown boards are stripped prior to starting the RHR pumps and other ECCS loads (5) When an accident signal trip of the diesel Occurs due to breakers is initiated from one unit (CASA or actuation of the CASB), subsequent CAS trips of all eight diesel breaker diesel breakers are blocked.
