The control room operators are performing 1-OHP-4023-FR-C.1, Inadequate Core Cooling . They are NOT able to establish high head ECCS flow. Given the following plant conditions: • SG depressurization proves to be ineffective. • SG NR levels are stable at 20%. • All core exit TCs are 1250°F and slowly rising. The operators were attempting to establish conditions for RCP restart, but are unable to establish RCP seal injection or 200 psid across the #1 seal. Which ONE of the following describes the current status of the fuel and the required actions? a. The fuel is NOT significantly damaged. The crew is required start one RCP at a time until core exit TCs are less than 1200°F. b. The fuel is significantly damaged so the crew should NOT start the RCPs. They are required to open all PRZ PORVs and block valves. c. The fuel is significantly damaged. The crew is required start all RCPs simultaneously to reduce core exit TCs to less than 1200°F. d. The fuel is NOT significantly damaged so the crew should NOT start the RCPs. They are required to continue attempts to establish high head injection.
a. CORRECT. The 1200°F value was chosen because it was significantly below the point at which the fuel was damaged, but high enough that extreme measures are required to recover cooling. Since adequate SG levels for heat sink exist, the RCPs are started in an attempt to circulate coolant/steam through the SG tubes in an attempt to cool the RCS. Adequate support condition for the RCPs are desired but NOT required since Core Cooling is severely challenged.
64
Given the following plant conditions on Unit 1: • The unit is at 100% power and stable. • Steam Generator Level Controls are in AUTOMATIC. • Steam Generator #12 Feed Flow Channel 1, 1-FFC-220, is selected to the Steam Generator Level Control System. If 1-FFC-220 instantaneously fails offscale low, which ONE of the following describes the expected plant response? Note: Assume no operator action. The Steam Generator Level Control system will: a. initially lower feed flow and then slowly return SG#12 level to approximately program level. b. automatically transfer the SG#12 FW Regulating Valve Controller to Manual to maintain the current valve position. c. initially raise feed flow and then slowly return SG#12 level to approximately program level. d. automatically transfer the SG#12 FW Regulating Valve Controller to Feed Flow Channel 2, 1-FFC-221 to allow continued automatic operation.
b. CORRECT. A sudden failure offscale will cause the Taylor Controller to shift to manual at the current position.

Which ONE of the following actions would occur, assuming that operators follow the required actions of 12-OHP-4022-018-004, Irradiated Fuel Handling Accident In Containment Building - Control Room Actions and all equipment responds as designed? a. Containment evacuation alarm sounds automatically. Containment purge stops automatically. b. Containment evacuation alarm is manually actuated by the control room operator. Containment purge stops automatically. c. Containment evacuation alarm sounds automatically. Containment purge is stopped manually by the control room operator. d. Containment evacuation alarm is manually actuated by the control room operator. Containment purge is stopped manually by the control room operator.
b. CORRECT. OHP 4022.018.004, Step 1 directs the operator to actuate the Containment Evacuation alarm. For the protection of personnel, it is important to evacuate the affected area until radiation surveys can be completed. Step 2 follows up the alarm with a page announcement notifying all non-essential personnel to evacuate the containment. Steps 5 through 9 verify the containment purge and pressure relief systems are shutdown and isolated. This will limit the exposure of personnel outside containment.
67
Given the following plant conditions on Unit 1: • The unit is operating at 100%. • The feedwater temperature input to the LEFM thermal power calculation was incorrectly calibrated to 7oF higher than actual feedwater temperature. • Calibration of the power range nuclear instruments (NIs) is being performed. How will LEFM power compare to actual thermal power and how will adjustment of the Nis be affected using the calculated value of LEFM? a. Calculated thermal power is lower than actual power. NI adjustment will be less conservative. b. Calculated thermal power is higher than actual power. NI adjustment will be less conservative. c. Calculated thermal power is lower than actual power. NI adjustment will be more conservative. d. Calculated thermal power is higher than actual power. NI adjustment will be more conservative.

What is the expected status of the Steam Dump valves following the operator's actions? a. All valves remain closed. b. The valves in group 1 are open and the valves in groups 2 and 3 are closed. c. The valves in group 1 and 2 are open and the valves in group 3 are closed. d. The valves in group 1 and 2 are open and the valves in group 3 are partially open.
b. CORRECT. Below P-12 (2/4 Tavg less than 541 deg F) only the 3-Group 1 dump valves are available for service.
71
The control room operators are responding to a Steam Generator Tube Rupture. In order to cool down the RCS and establish required subcooling margin, the operators dump steam to the condenser using the intact SGs. Which ONE of the following describes why this method of RCS cooldown is preferred over dumping steam through the PORVs of the intact SGs? a. Minimizes radiological releases. b. Minimizes thermal shock to the reactor vessel. c. Minimizes shrink experienced by the RCS. d. Minimizes RCS subcooling requirements.
a. CORRECT. Dumping steam to the condenser will keep the radioactivity contained within the plant. Prior to the ruptured SG isolation, the leaking RCS would have mixed with the secondary and raised the activity levels of the intact SGs. Distracters are plausible since the SG PORVs may provide greater cooling at maximum rate and are typically less controllable than the fine control provided by the steam dumps.
72

Unit 1 has experienced a rupture of the NESW piping inside containment. NLI-340/341 "FLOOD LEVEL" lights are Lit. Why is safe plant recovery NOT assured for a design basis large break LOCA when "FLOOD LEVEL" lights are Lit? a. Operation of critical ECCS components needed for safe recovery is endangered by submersion. Actions within 1-OHP-4023-FR-Z-2, Response to Containment Flooding may be required. b. Operation of the CTS pumps is endangered by excess debris fouling the containment suction strainers. Actions within 1-OHP-4023-ECA-1.3 Sump Blockage Control Room Procedure may be required. c. Operation of the hydrogen recombiner system is compromised by the high water level. Actions within 1-OHP-4023-FR-Z-2, Response to Containment Flooding may be required. d. Operation of the RHR system is compromised by high suction pressure. Actions within 1-OHP-4023-ECA-1.1 Loss of emergency Coolant Recirculation may be required.
a. CORRECT. Containment design basis flood level takes into account the entire water contents of the RCS, RWST, Ice condenser ice bed melt, and SI accumulators, plus the added mass of a LOCA and a steam line or feedline break inside containment. NESW and CCW may be major contributors to exceeding "flood" level and causing a loss of equipment required for long term cooling.

At 15:50, Unit 2 experienced a LOCA. After the recirculation sump suction valves were opened in 2-OHP-4023-ES-1.3, Transfer to Cold Leg Recirculation, neither RHR pump would start. You have proceeded to 2-OHP-4023-ECA-1.1, Loss of Emergency Coolant Recirculation and are currently at Step 13, "Check if SI Can Be Terminated." At 17:30, the following plant conditions exist: • RCS pressure is 300 psig and slowly lowering. • NR RVLIS is 76% and slowly lowering. • WR RVLIS is 23% and slowly lowering. • CETC Average 345oF. • RWST level is 13% and lowering. • Containment pressure is 6.5 psig and stable. • All Centrifugal Charging and Safety Injection pumps are running. • Both Containment Spray Pumps are currently running with their suction aligned for recirculation. Which ONE of the following actions is required? Note: 2-OHP-4023-ECA-1.1, Loss of Emergency Coolant Recirculation section is attached. a. Do NOT stop or throttle ECCS Pumps, continue attempts to makeup to the RCS. b. Terminate SI. Stop both SI pumps and 1 CCP. Isolate BIT injection and restore normal charging flowpath. c. Stop applicable pumps and throttle BIT injection as required to obtain about 310 gpm of injection flow. d. Stop applicable pumps and throttle BIT injection as required to obtain about 410 gpm of injection flow.
c. CORRECT. Based on these conditions (NR RVLIS<67%, RCPs tripped on Phase B, with subcooling < 86oF) ECCS flow should be reduced to the minimum required per Figure1 as IAW Step 13.b RNO. The time after trip is 100 minutes which is equal to ~307 gpm.

A LOCA that resulted in significant core damage occurred at 1600 hours. Containment Pressure and Radiation levels were recorded as follows: Radiation Pressure Time (R/Hr) (psig • 1630 950,000 6.2 • 1700 950,000 5.6 • 1730 950,000 5.2 • 1800 950,000 4.5 • 1830 90,000 4. At 1835 hours, while performing Emergency Operating Procedures, a step is encountered which states "Check PRZ level - GREATER THAN 20% [24% ADVERSE]". Which ONE of the following describes the required Pressurizer level and why? a. 20% because adverse values are no longer required because of the limited integrated dose and pressure reduction. b. 24% because adverse values must be used until the integrated dose has been evaluated for lasting effects. c. 24% because adverse containment exists due to the current containment radiation dose rate. d. 24% because adverse containment exists due to the current containment pressure.
b. CORRECT. Adverse containment values are required to be used when containment pressure is >5 psig or >105 R/Hr. When pressure lowers to <5 psig normal values may be used as long as the integrated dose is <106 R. At the levels specified here the integrated dose is above 106 R (9.5R/Hr x105 for 90 minutes) and so the instruments must be evaluated for lasting effects of the radiation.
