| A: Incorrect - this flow value would account for only one pump injecting.
| |
| B: Correct - the "A" CS Logic would not initiate with a loss of AD417 preventing the "A" CS pump from starting and the injection valve from opening. No injection would occur from the "A" loop.
| |
| RPV pressure is below shutoff head and RPV injection will be from the B Core Spray loop @
| |
| approximately 6350 gpm.
| |
| C: Incorrect - This flow amount would require 3 pumps to be injecting. With no flow from the "A" loop only 2 pumps are injecting D: Incorrect - No injection would occur from A loop. All Core Spray pumps would need to be running for a total injection to the RPV of approximately 12, 700 gpm.

| |
| * The plant is at 80% power and stable.
| |
| * RFPs "B" and "C" are in AUTO, both pump speeds indicate@ 4000 rpm.
| |
| * RFP "A" is Manual control, its speed is 1000 rpm with its discharge valve closed.
| |
| The operator then opens the "A" RFP discharge valve and depresses the AUTO push button on PDS controller for "A." RFP.
| |
| How do the RFP speed indications respond?
| |
| A. All RFP speeds remain approximately the same.
| |
| B. "A" RFP speed remains the same. Due to the additional flow to the vessel from the "A" RFP, "B" and "C" RFP speeds begin to lower.
| |
| C. "A" RFP speed rises. When "A" RFP begins to feed the vessel, "B" and "C" RFP speeds lower.

| D. RFPs "B" and "C" speeds remain approximately the same. "A" RFP speed rises to match the speeds of RFPs "B" and "C".
| |
| | |
| Proposed Answer: C Explanation (Optional):
| |
| A: Incorrect- "A" rises, "B" and "C" lower. (see explanation in "C" below)
| |
| B: Incorrect- "A" speed will increase. It cannot feed the RPV at 1000 rpm because its discharge pressure is not high enough.
| |
| C: Correct - Placing the "A" RFP in AUTO mode places its control via the Master Level Controller This will cause the "A" speed signal to match the DFCS speed signal sent to the "B'' and "C" RFPs and the "A" RFP speed will rise. When RPV level begins to rise above the DFCS level setpoint, the speeds on the "B" and "C" will lower. Eventually all RFP speeds will be approximately the same (lower than 4000 rpm) in order to maintain the DFCS level setpoint.

| |
| * The plant was at 100% power when a Loss of Offsite Power occurred.
| |
| * The 'A' EOG failed to automatically start.
| |
| * Operators were unable to start the 'A' EOG from the Control Room Which of the following sets of actions describes IAW HC.OP-AB.ZZ-0135, Station Blackout/Loss of Offsite Power; (1) how to start the 'A' EOG under these conditions AND (2) whether the output breaker must be manually closed or will automatically close once the EOG is at rated speed and frequency?
| |
| A (1) AT Panel 1A-C-423 (130' El.), OBSERVE that the READY FOR AUTO START is ON. Then PLACE EMERGENCY TAKE-OVER Switch in the EMERG position. Then PLACE REMOTE ENGINE CONTROL in START.
| |
| (2) The 'A' EOG output breaker must be manually closed.
| |

| |
| (2) The 'A' EOG output breaker must be manually closed.
| |
| C. (1) AT Panel 1A-C-421 (102' El.) Place the REM/LOC/MAINT CONTROL SELECT switch in MAINTENANCE, Then, Place LOCAL ENGINE CONTROL Switch in START, (2) The 'A' EOG output breaker must be manually closed.

| |
| Then, AT Panel 1A-C-423 (130' El.), Place the REMOTE ENGINE CONTROL in START (2) The 'A' EOG output breaker will auto-close.
| |
| | |
| Proposed Answer: A Explanation (Optional):
| |
| A: Correct- !AW AB.ZZ.0135 Att. 6 steps B: Incorrect - Pressing the DIESEL ENG REMOTE pushbutton for the 'A' EDG and ensuring the REMOTE light is on does NOT enable the Local Engine Switch on Panel 1A-C-421 (102'EI). The REM/LOC/MAINT control select switch at this panel must be in LOC (Local) (see AB.ZZ-0135 Att.7)
| |
| C: Incorrect - The REM/LOC/MAINT control select switch at this panel must be in LOC (Local) (see AB.ZZ-0135 Att.7)
| |
| D: Incorrect- Placing the EMERGENCY TAKE-OVER switch in EMERG removes the auto close function of the output breaker. This is why the procedure for Manual Emergency Starting of EDG's from the Remote Panels has conditional steps for "IF DIESEL RUNNING LOADED is ON" and "IF loading of the EDG is required locally." The response of the output breaker is dependent on how Remote control was gained (from Control Room or from Emergency Takeover).

| |
| | |
| Proposed Answer: D Explanation (Optional):
| |
| A: Incorrect - Pressure MUST reach 1047 psig to arm the Lo-Lo Set opening of PSV-F013P.
| |
| When this happens, BOTH Lo-Lo Set SRVs will initially open. Additionally, setpoints for the Lo-Lo Set SRVs are reversed. Once armed, PSV-F013H cycles at 905-1017 psig, NOT PSV-F013P.
| |
| B: Incorrect - Pressure MUST reach 1047 psig to arm the Lo-Lo Set opening of PSV-F013P. When this happens, BOTH Lo-Lo Set SRVs will initially open.
| |
| C: Incorrect - Setpoints for the Lo-Lo Set SRVs are reversed. Once armed, PSV-F013H cycles at 905-1017 psig, NOT PSV-F013P.
| |
| D: Correct - Upon isolation of the MSIVs, the reactor will scram. Decay heat will cause pressure to rise. Pressure must reach 1047 psig to arm Lo-Lo Set. At this point, both Lo-Lo Set valves will open. Sirice SRVs can pass 5% steam flow each, and maximum decay heat is approximately 7% power, pressure will lower. At 935 psig, PSV-F013P will close. Decay heat will rapidly drop to <5% power, such that pressure will lower with only the PSV-F013P SRV open. When pressure drops to 905 psig, the PSV-F013H will close. This will cause pressure to turn and rise.
| |
| Once initially armed, the PSV-F013H will re-open at 1017 psig. Pressure will cycle between 905 and 1017 psig on the PSV-F013H.

| |
| A plant event occurred and RCIC initiated due to an automatic initiation signal.
| |
| The operator observes that RCIC is not responding with the flow controller in AUTOMATIC and places the flow controller in MANUAL with flow at 600 gpm.
| |
| RCIC is now injecting at 600 gpm to the RPV.
| |
| Reactor pressure is at 700 psig and stable.
| |
| Which of the following describes RCIC operation as reactor pressure changes?
| |
| A. As reactor pressure rises, the operator must depress the "*" (UP arrow) on RCIC flow controller FIC-600 to maintain RCIC flow to the RPV at ==600 gpm.
| |
| B. As reactor pressure rises, RCIC injection flow will remain at ==600 gpm and no additional operator action is required to maintain system flow to the RPV at ==600 gpm.
| |
| C. As reactor pressure lowers, the operator must depress the "*" (UP arrow) on RCIC flow controller FIC-600 to maintain RCIC flow to the RPV at ==600 gpm.
| |
| D. As reactor pressure lowers, the operator must depress the "LOWER SET POINT" pushbutton to maintain RCIC flow to the RPV at ==600 gpm.
| |
| | |
| Proposed Answer: A Explanation (Optional):
| |
| A: Correct - Placing RCIC flow control in MAN results in an open loop control with the flow controller output becoming a fixed speed demand. Although this will provide stable, constant turbine speed, an operator will have to maintain desired vessel injection flow rate.
| |
| : 1) Flow Controller - The flow controller is a Bailey control station located in the control room on panel 1OC650B. It allows the operator to select either the manual or automatic mode of operation.
| |
| a) MANUAL - In this mode the operator sets desired RCIC turbine speed.
| |
| b) AUTOMATIC - In the automatic mode RCIC turbine speed is automatically adjusted to maintain desired RCIC pump discharge flow established by the operator.
| |
| B: Incorrect - with FIC 600 in MANUAL, turbine speed is controlled. As reactor pressure rises it will become greater than RCIC discharge pressure and RCIC flow will begin to lower until there is no flow to the RPV.
| |
| C: Incorrect - As RPV pressure lowers, flow to the RPV will increase because RCIC speed remains constant.
| |
| D: Incorrect - The lower setpoint PB is only functional while in automatic flow control Technical Reference(s): HC.OP-SO.BD-0001 Caution 5.3.5 (Attach if not previously provided)

| D. To prevent a Main Turbine trip and additional heat loading of the Torus from SRVs if power remains above bypass valve capacity.
| |
| | |
| Proposed Answer: D Explanation (Optional):
| |
| A: Incorrect - APLHGR a concern at >24% power B: Incorrect - In an ATWS condition, HPCI injection through the Core Spray piping is not used per EOP-101A Table 1 direction.
| |
| C: Incorrect - the actions taken in EOPs will remove all forced circulation and lower RPV level to lower power which should reduce any instabilities.
| |
| D: Correct - The most rapid flow rate reduction and, consequently, the most rapid power reduction, is achieved by tripping the recirculation pumps. However, if the recirculation pump trip is initiated from a high power level, the resulting rapid changes in steam flow, RPV pressure, and RPV water level may cause a trip of the main turbine-generator and a trip of RPV injection systems.
| |
| If the main turbine-generator trips and reactor power exceeds the turbine bypass valve capacity, RPV pressure will increase until one or more SRVs open. Heatup of the suppression pool then begins and RPV level lowering may be required. If RPV injection systems trip, the resultant RPV water level transient may require emergency depressurization of the RPV and operation of less desirable RPV injection sources.
| |
| To effect a more controlled reduction in reactor power and thereby avoid main turbine-generator and RPV injection system trips and their associated complications, a recirculation flow runback is performed prior to tripping the recirculation pumps. If an automatic run back has occurred, the operator need only confirm the action.

| Question: R0#55 Actions for Steam Cooling are being performed in accordance with HC.OP-EO.ZZ-0101, RPV Control, and compensated RPV level has dropped to -200" on Fuel Zone indication. The procedure requires emergency depressurization.
| |

| |
| A. Maintain peak cladding temperature below 1500 degrees F.
| |
| B. Maintain peak cladding temperature below 1800 degrees F.
| |
| C. Maintain total oxidation of the cladding less than 0.17 of the total cladding thickness.
| |
| D. Maintain the maximum H2 generation less than 0.01 times the hypothetical maximum.
| |
| | |
| Proposed Answer: B Explanation (Optional):
| |
| A: Incorrect - - this is the MSCRWL (-18S")the lowest RPV water level at which the covered portion of the reactor core will generate sufficient steam to preclude any clad temperature in the uncovered portion of the core from exceeding 1500°F B: Correct - IAW EOP-101 Bases Discussion, step ALC-21 Steam cooling is effected by allowing RPV water level to decrease through boil-off until it drops to the Minimum Zero-Injection RPV Water Level (MZIRWL). During this period the fuel temperatures in the uncovered portion of the core increase, and heat is transferred from the fuel rods to the steam. The MZIRWL is the lowest RPV water level at which the covered portion of the reactor core will generate sufficient steam to preclude any clad temperature in the uncovered portion of the core from exceeding 1800°F.
| |
| When RPV water level drops below the MZIRWL, steam cooling may no longer be sufficient to preclude the peak clad temperature from exceeding 1800°F. Emergency RPV depressurization is then performed in accordance with EOP-202. Unless the RPV is already depressurized, it is expected that the resulting swell will be sufficient to quench the uncovered portion of the fuel and reduce PCT almost to the value that would exist if the core were submerged. As the swell subsides and steam flow through the open SRVs decreases, however, PCT turns and again rises.
| |
| Opening the SRVs before RPV water level reaches the MZIRWL would reduce the time over which the core remains adequately cooled with no injection. Waiting much after RPV water level reaches the MZIRWL could result in significant core damage due to excessive fuel temperatures.

| |
| The "A" CRD pump trips and the "B" cannot be started.
| |
| Which of the following describes how the CRD mechanisms respond.
| |
| A. The area under the collet piston will depressurize which allows the collett fingers to disengage the index tube and control rods may begin to drift out.
| |
| B. The CRD mechanism temperature will increase above the alarm setpoint. The control rods will remain in their current position.
| |
| C. The area under the CROM ball check valve will depressurize to below reactor pressure. This delta-P lifts the ball check valve which in turn causes the control rods to begin to insert if reactor pressure is above 500 psig.
| |
| D. The individual HCU accumulators will provide cooling water to their associated CRD mechanisms as they depressurize. When the accumulator pressure drops below reactor pressure, individual control rods will fail to insert on a valid scram signal.
| |
| | |
| Proposed Answer: B Explanation (Optional):
| |
| A: Incorrect - the area under the collet piston area is at equilibrium pressure with the rest of the drive so the collet piston will not move and the rods will not drift.
| |
| B: Correct - with a loss of all CRD pumps there is a loss of cooling water flow which will cause CROM temperatures to rise but the rods will not move.

| |
| | |
| Proposed Answer: B Explanation (Optional):
| |
| A: Incorrect - the scram is not performed for anticipating an ED. Levels may not reach the ED requirement.
| |
| B: Correct - From EOP-103 bases:
| |
| If temperatures or floor levels in any one of the ROOMS listed in Table 1 or 2 of Reactor Building Control 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-101 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 reactor building.

| Question: SRO #81 The plant was operating at rated power when the Reactor Auxiliary Cooling System (RAGS) head tank began to lower rapidly.
| |
| Then, a Reactor Water Cleanup (RWCU) System Non-Regenerative Heat Exchanger discharge high temperature signal was received resulting in an automatic isolation of the RWCU Inlet Outboard Isolation Valve, HV-F004, NO other isolation valves were actuated. The plant remains stable at rated power.
| |
| Which of the following identifies:
| |
| (1) a potential cause of the RAGS head tank lowering AND (2) whether the subsequent affect on RWCU (HV-F004 isolation) was reportable under 10 CFR 50.72 requirements.
| |
| A. (1) A leak in the Reactor Recirc Pump Seal Cooler (2) Reportable
| |
| : 8. (1) A leak in the Reactor Recirc Pump Seal Cooler (2) NOT Reportable C. (1) A leak in the RAGS Heat Exchanger (2) Reportable D. (1) A leak in the RAGS Heat Exchanger (2) NOT Reportable
| |
| | |
| Proposed Answer: D Explanation (Optional):
| |
| A: Incorrect - RAGS system pressure is the lower pressure in recirc pump seal cooler heat exchanger. A leak would case RAGS head tank level to rise. The event is not reportable.
| |
| B: Incorrect - RAGS system pressure is the lower pressure in recirc pump seal cooler heat exchanger. A leak would case RAGS head tank level to rise.
| |
| C: Incorrect - With only one system affected the event is not reportable.
| |
| D: Correct - RAGS system pressure is higher than Service Water System pressure.
| |
| Therefore a leak in the heat exchanger would be from RAGS to SW and result in lowering head tank level. The event is NOT reportable per 10CFR50. 72 as item (b)(3)(iv)(B)(2) requires containment isolation signals affecting more than 1 system.

| |
| * 02 concentration is 1.3% and rising at 0.1%/10 minutes At T=10 minutes, what actions would be required?
| |
| A. Enter SAGs and perform concurrently with EO.ZZ-0102, Primary Containment Control because the lower detonation limit for H2 has been reached and containment failure may be imminent.
| |
| B. IAW EO.ZZ-0102, Primary Containment Control, Implement EO.ZZ-0318, Containment Venting and vent containment via theSuppression Pool.
| |
| C. Exit EO.ZZ-0102, Primary Containment Control and Enter SAGs.The current H2 concentration confirms core damage beyond the requirements of 10CFR50.46 for the ECCS design.
| |
| D. IAW EO.ZZ-0102, Primary Containment Control, Implement EO.ZZ-0318, Containment Venting and vent containment via the Drywell. Enter the SAGs only when the H2 concentration has reached its combustible limit.
| |
| | |
| Proposed Answer: C Explanation (Optional):
| |
| A: Incorrect - No EOP direction is present to direct venting containment via drywell. Additionally, any venting would be initially attempted via the suppression pool due to the scrubbing action available but only IAW SAG procedures. EOP PC/H-2 Bases state - Hydrogen and oxygen must both be present and in sufficient concentration for combustion to occur. Excessive hydrogen concentration (_:: 6%), mixed with high oxygen concentration (_:: 5%) and ignited in the confined space of the primary containment generates peak pressures which may exceed the structural capability of the drywell, suppression chamber or drywell-suppression chamber boundary. At this time H2 concentration is less than the combustion level noted in the bases B: Incorrect. SAG entry is required IAW EO.ZZ-0102 Retainment override PC/H-1. The EOP is exited. Venting the containment via the Suppression Pool may be viable but only IAW SAGs.
| |
| C: Correct- IAW EOP-102 Bases - Step PC/H 2% is both the alarm setpoint as well as a concentration that confirms core damage beyond the requirements of 10CFRS0.46 for the ECCS design, yet is still within concentrations for which Recombiners are designed to operate. Consequently the transition to SAG where the balance of hydrogen control steps have been placed is happening
| |
| : 1. After core damage in excess of what EOPs are typically designed to handle has occurred and
| |
| : 2. Before more dramatic action to control hydrogen is required.
| |
| D: Incorrect- IAW EOP-0102 Retainment override, SAGs are entered at >2% Hydrogen concentration not at the combustible limit.

| |
| D. Loop "A" in both drywell and suppression chamber spray. Loop "B" in suppression pool cooling/spray
| |
| | |
| Proposed Answer: B Explanation (Optional):
| |
| A: Incorrect - LPCI would not be required for given conditions with RCIC recovering RPV level B: Correct - IAW HC.OP-SO.BC-0001 - step 3.1.12 - IF the Drywell AND Suppression Spray are being used simultaneously on the same loop of RHR, THEN, the potential exists that, if a LOP were to occur, the associated valves would stay open AND the piping could begin to drain to the Torus until the pump restarts automatically (sequenced). The Torus suppression capability would be bypassed with those legs of piping drained completely. With SC pressure >9.5 DW spray is required. The other loop would be in SP cooling/spray due to elevated SP temperature.

| |
| | |
| Proposed Answer: A Explanation (Optional):
| |
| A: Correct - BOTH EPAs are inoperable. The one with a failed card and also the downstream EPA breaker whichshould have tripped on undervoltage, therefore it is also inoperable. Since nothing in the stem supports any inoperability condition for the Alternate EPA breakers, and the original trip of the Normal EPA was due to a logic card failure, and not an actual Overvoltage, Undervoltage, or Underfrequency condition, the RPS bus B power monitoring is TRACKING once on the ALTERNATE supply. (TS 3.8.4.4)

| |
| Question: SRO #89 Given the following initial conditions:
| |
| * The Unit is in OPCON 1 at 100% power.
| |
| * HPCI is currently operable.
| |
| * 1AVH-209 HPCI Room Cooler control switch is in "AUTO LEAD".
| |
| * 1BVH-209 HPCI Room Cooler control switch is in "AUTO" Later in the shift,
| |
| * A Maintenance Electrician reports to the Control Room and requests permission to place 1BVH-209 HPCI Room Cooler control switch in "STOP" for about 30 minutes to take voltage readings on the control switch contacts.
| |
| * The Electrician states that he will remain near the switch while performing his work and that he can restore his work and place the control switch back to "AUTO" in less than 15 minutes in the event of a HPCI start.
| |
| * The CRS gives the Electrician permission to perform the work.
| |
| * The Electrician places the 1BVH-209 HPCI Room Cooler control switch in "STOP" at 10:00 (the current time).
| |
| What is the status of HPCI?
| |
| A. HPCI is INOPERABLE since BOTH Room Coolers are NOT operable.
| |
| B. HPCI remains operable since Room Coolers are NOT required to support HPCI operability.
| |
| C. HPCI remains operable since BOTH Room Coolers are operable to support HPCI.
| |
| D. HPCI remains operable since ONE Room Cooler is operable to support HPCI.
| |
| | |
| Proposed Answer: D Explanation (Optional):
| |
| A: Incorrect - HPCI is operable since 1AVH-209 is unaffected by the work and only one cooler is required to be operable to support HPCI operability, Plausible: Would be true if both coolers were required to support HPCI operability.
| |
| B: Incorrect - At least one room cooler is required to support HPCI operability.
| |
| Plausible: Some plants have performed analyses to prove that room coolers are not required for HPCI operability, so the answer is plausible.
| |
| C: Incorrect - 1BVH-209 is NOT operable. Credit can NOT be taken for manual action to restore the cooler in this case since there was no mention of an operability determination to support manual action in the stem. In addition, it is not likely that the Electrician would qualify as a "dedicated" operator for compensatory action purposes.
| |
| Plausible: Would be correct if the credit were taken for manual action. This distracter might be attractive to someone believing that both coolers are required for HPCI operability.
| |
| D: Correct - One cooler is required to be operable to support HPCI in accordance with OP-HC-108-115-1001 Exhibit 2. 1AVH-209 is unaffected by the work and remains operable; therefore, HPCI is operable.

| Question: SRO #91 Given:
| |
| A Reactor Recirc pump transient has occurred.
| |
| Plant conditions have stabilized and Reactor Recirc parameters are now:
| |
| Reactor Recirc Pump A is in MANUAL speed control at 34 KGPM loop flow.
| |
| Reactor Recirc Pump Bis in MANUAL speed control at 28 KGPM loop flow.
| |
| Indicated total core flow is 80 MLBM/hr.
| |
| Which one of the following describes the current limit for loop flow mismatch and the reason for the limit?
| |
| A. 10% rated core flow; Maintain MCPR operating limits.
| |
| : 8. 10% rated core flow; Maintain adequate core flow coast-down following a LOCA.
| |
| C. 5% rated core flow; Maintain MCPR operating limits.
| |
| D. 5% rated core flow; Maintain adequate core flow coast-down following a LOCA.
| |
| | |
| Proposed Answer: D Explanation (Optional):
| |
| A: Incorrect - should be 5 % rated core flow based on TS. MCPR not the concern per TS bases B: Incorrect. should be 5 % rated core flow based on TS.
| |
| C: Incorrect - MCPR not the concern per TS bases D: Correct - Using footnote** of 3.4.1.3 "Effective core flow shall be the core flow that would result if both recirculation loop flows were assumed to be at the smaller value of the 2 loop flows", the smaller loop flow is 28KGPM +28KGPM = 56KGPM. 56KGPM corresponds to 72.5 ML8M/HR on Attachment 6 of ST-88-001. This is greater than the limit of 70 ML8M/HR (70% effective core flow) by TS 3.4.1.3. Therefore the limit is 5% of rated core flow. The basis for the limit is to ensure an adequate core flow coastdown from either recirculation loop following a LOCA. Per TS bases 3.4.1.

| SRO Only Justification: This question is SRO only as it requires assessing plant conditions and then selecting a procedure or section of a procedure to mitigate, recover or with which to proceed. The question cannot be answered by solely knowing systems knowledge, immediate operator actions, AOP or EOP entry conditions, or the purpose, overall sequence of events, or overall mitigative strategy of a procedure.
| |
| Question: SRO #98 Given:
| |
| * The plant was operating at rated power
| |
| * A small leak occurred the drywell
| |
| * A manual scram was initiated
| |
| * All Control Rods are Full In
| |
| * A Loss of Feedwater occurred on the scram initiation
| |
| * Drywell Pressure is 1.2 psig and is rising very slowly
| |
| * Annunciator A7-E4, Drywell Pressure HI/LO is NOT illuminated
| |
| * RPV level lowered to (-10) inches and is recovering
| |
| * RCIC & HPCI have just started to inject to the RPV Then, these alarms annunciate:
| |
| 83-A3 CORE SPRAY PUMP B AUTO START 83-A4 CORE SPRAY PUMP D AUTO START Core Spray pumps "B" and "D" are verified running The "B" and "D" EDGs are also running.
| |
| What describes the actions required in response to the above annunciators and any additional actions?
| |
| A. Stop the pumps. IAW EOP-101, maintain RPV level between 12.5" and 54" using RCIC and/or HPCI.
| |
| B. Do NOT stop the pumps. IAW EOP-101, maintain RPV level between 12.5" and 54" using RCIC and/or HPCI.
| |
| C. Stop the pumps. Immediately secure the EDGs IAW HC.OP-SO.KJ-0001, Emergency Diesel Generators Operation.
| |
| D. Do NOT stop the pumps. Align Condensate Transfer to maintain RPV level >(-129") IAW HC.OP-EO.ZZ-309, Alternate Injection Using Condensate Transfer.
| |
| | |
| Proposed Answer: A Explanation (Optional):
| |
| A: Correct - The ARP direction is to verify an initiation signal is present (129" or 1.68 psig dw pressure). Because no signal is present the direction is to stop the pumps. EOP 101 guidance (step RC/L-4) given the loss of feedwater would be to maintain RPV level 12.5" to 54" using the available system (RCIC/HPCI).
| |
| B: Incorrect - The pumps must be secured.
| |
| C: Incorrect - There is no direction in the given Annunciator response to immediately secure the EDGs. Additionally, given the stem conditions with RPV level rising, HPCI is not required.
| |
| D: Incorrect - The pumps must be secured. Additionally condensate transfer would not be required until it is determined that RPV level cannot be maintained between 12.5" and 54".

| Facility: Hope Creek 2015 Examination Outline Cross-reference: Level RO SRO Tier# 3 Group# 2 KIA# 2.2.38 Importance Rating 4.5 Knowledge of conditions and imitations in the facility license SRO Only Justification: This question is SRO only as it requires assessing facility operating limitations in the Tech Specs and their bases, cannot be answered solely by knowing <= 1hr TS actions or above the line information, cannot be answered by knowing TS safety limits, and involves application of TS required actions and/or surveillance requirements. The question cannot be answered by solely knowing systems knowledge, immediate operator actions, AOP or EOP entry conditions, or the purpose, overall sequence of events, or overall mitigative strategy of a procedure.
| |
| Question: SR0#99 Given:
| |
| * Power is 89%
| |
| * At 1200 on 2/16, due to a recent procedure change, it was determined that part of a TS required surveillance was NOT performed.
| |
| * The incomplete surveillance was performed on 2/13
| |
| * The last complete satisfactory surveillance was completed at 1200 on 1/15.
| |
| * The surveillance is required to be performed at least once per 31 days The action statement requires that the associated inoperable equipment must be restored within 72 hrs, or be in Hot Shutdown within the next 12 hrs and in Cold Shutdown within the following 24 hours.
| |
| At 1600 on 2/16, the surveillance is performed, and is determined to be UNSAT.
| |
| Which of the following is required?
| |
| A. Be in Hot Shutdown by NO later than 0400 on 2/17.
| |
| B. Be in Cold Shutdown by NO later than 1600 on 2/17.
| |
| C. Be in Hot Shutdown by NO later than 0400 on 2/20.
| |
| D. Be in Cold Shutdown by NO later than 1600 on 2/20.
| |
| | |
| Proposed A!'lswer: C Explanation (Optional):
| |
| A: Incorrect - An additional 72 hours is allowed by the LCO before beginning the clock toward Hot and Cold Shutdown requirements B: Incorrect - An additional 72 hours is allowed by the LCO before beginning the clock toward Hot and Cold Shutdown requirements C: Correct - the surveillance was completed within the required surveillance time of 31 days.
| |
| Therefore. A 72 hour clock starts before the 12 hour clock begins for the requirement to be in Hot Shutdown. This would be a total of 84 hours resulting in a time of 0400 on 2/20.
| |
| D: Incorrect - Cold shutdown is required within the 24 hours following when Hot shutdown is acheived Technical Reference(s): TS 4.01 and 4.02 (Attach if not previously provided)

| |
| SRO Only Justification: This question is SRO only as it requires determining off site notifications which is a SRO ONLY function.
| |
| Question: SRO #100 Given the following:
| |
| * The Unit is in OPCON 1 at 100% power.
| |
| * A loss of all drywell cooling occurs.
| |
| * Drywell pressure rises to 1.4 psig and operators manually scram the reactor.
| |
| * RPV level dropped to a low of-10 inches and was restored to +30 inches with feedwater.
| |
| * Drywell pressure continues to rise to 2.0 psig due solely to the loss of drywell cooling.
| |
| * All automatic action occur as designed.
| |
| * HPCI injected and was immediately secured since level control was established with feedwater.
| |
| * Drywell cooling was restored several minutes later, drywell pressure was reduced, all isolations were reset, and the plant was stabilized in OPCON 3.
| |
| Which one of the following is the EARLIEST event classification level that applies to the event described above?
| |
| A. 15 minute Emergency Notification to the States and Counties B. 1 Emergency Notification to the NRC Operations Center C. 4 hour NON-Emergency Notification to the NRC Operations Center O. 8 hour NON-Emergency Notification to the NRC Operations Center
| |
| | |
| Proposed Answer: C Explanation (Optional):
| |
| A: Incorrect - Although DW pressure exceeded 1.68 psig, it was due to loss of drywell cooling and not a LOCA condition. Therefore the Alert does not apply (RB2.L). no threshold exists for a 1 hour notification B: Incorrect - no threshold exists for a 1 hour notification.
| |
| C: Correct - 4 hour non-emergency notification due to valid HPCI injection from a valid signal (1.68 psig) See RAL 11.3.1 and 11.3.2.
| |
| D: Incorrect. Primary containment isolation on 1.68 psig is an 8 hour notification and therefore is not the highest Technical Reference(s): RALs 11.3.1 and 11.3.2 (Attach if not previously provided)
