While operating at 25% power the Unit Operator reports the following:

- CRD Pump A Breaker Disagreement White Light.

- Motor Trip Out Annunciator and Horn Received.

- 1 B CRD Pump in Standby.

Which ONE of the following describes the IMMEDIATE actions to be taken for the

above conditions?

A. Start CRD pump 1 B and open the CRD PUMP DISH TO UNIT 2. Adjust the CRD

SYS FLOW CONTROLLER tapeset to adjust CRD cooling water header

differential pressure to 20 psid and CRD system flow to approximately 60 gpm.

B. Place CRD SYS FLOW CONTROLLER in MAN at MAXIMUM setting. Start CRD

pump 1 B. Open CRD PUMP DISCH TO UNIT 2. When CRD cooling water header

differential pressure reaches 20 psid, and CRD system flow reaches between 45

and 75 gpm, balance CRD SYS FLOW CONTROLLER and place in AUTO.

C. Start CRD pump 1B. Place CRD SYS FLOW CONTROLLER in MAN at MINIMUM

setting. Open CRD PUMP DISCH TO UNIT 2. Adjust CRD SYS FLOW

CONTROLLER to establish 20 psid cooling water header differential pressure.

Balance CRD SYS FLOW CONTROLLER and place in AUTO.

D? Place CRD SYS FLOW CONTROLLER in MAN at MINIMUM setting. Start CRD

pump 1 B. Open CRD PUMP DISCH TO UNIT 2. Adjust CRD SYS FLOW

CONTROLLER to establish 20 psid CRD cooling water header differential pressure

and CRD system flow between 40 and 65 gpm. Balance CRD SYS FLOW

CONTROLLER and place in AUTO.

References: 2-AOl-85-3 Rev. 20 pg 1 and 2

NOTE: Revised some of the distractors to make them more plausible.

Also, revised stem to ensure that it is clear that these are

IMMEDIATE operator actions.

A. Incorrect since flow controller must be adjusted to minimum setting prior to starting

the pump.

B. Incorrect since flow controller must be adjusted to MINIMUM instead of MAXIMUM.

C. Incorrect since flow controller must be adjusted to minimum setting prior to starting

the pump.

A loss of all high pressure injection systems has resulted in RPV level lowering to TAF.

An emergency RPV depressurization has been directed.

Which ONE of the following states the reason that a minimum of 4 MSRVs must be

opened?

A.' Ensures that sufficient steam flow will exist to remove decay heat at low enough

pressure for the lowest head ECCS pump to make up for steam flow.

B. Ensures that at the worst case in core life, the APLHGR thermal limit will not be

exceeded and inhibit adequate radiant heat transfer.

C. Ensures that the reactor will be depressurized to below ECCS shut off head before

the RPV level reaches two thirds core height.

D. Prevents exceeding 1 % plastic strain on the hottest fuel pin in the core allowing fuel

cladding failure to release radioactive fission products.

References: OPL171.205 Rev. 4 pg 29

Refer to OPDP-8. The 250V Board is a support system for Core Spray, and there is a

LOSF since the 250V Board is Division I logic. Therefore both Core Spray systems are

inoperable, requiring entering LCO 3.0.3 per 3.5.1 .H. If 250V Rx MOV Board 2B is

placed on its alternate supply the board is still considered inoperable per BASES B

3.8.7.

A. Correct answer since two low pressure ECCS spray subsystems are INOPERABLE.

LCO 3.0.3 is entered per 3.5.1 .G.

B. Incorrect since this assumes that HPCl is also INOPERABLE.

C. Incorrect since the 7 day clock is for 1 low pressure spray subsystem being
