Q

Given the following conditions on Unit 2:
• Reactor Coolant System (RCS) is in mid-loop condition
• The following indications are fluctuating on the running Residual Heat Removal (RHR): amps, flow, and discharge pressure
Which ONE of the following statements is correct regarding the standby RHR pump?
The standby RHR Pump should:
a. NOT be immediately started because air
entrainment could cause a loss of both RHR trains.

b. be immediately started because following a loss of
RHR flow, an RCS pressurization may occur precluding gravity feed makeup.

c. be immediately started because under certain loss of RHR conditions, core uncovery or core voiding can occur within 15 to 20 minutes.
d. NOT be immediately started because starting an idle RHR pump under mid-loop conditions could cause an unacceptable reduction in reactor shutdown margin.

A

a. CORRECT. The ARG provides a clear guidance which includes industry experience of why operation of an RHR pump operating with air entrapment should be evaluated because it could lead to pump damage. Starting the other RHR pump could transfer the problem to the other pump leading to a complete loss of the system.

Q

Given the following conditions on Unit 2:
• The operators are implementing 2-OHP-4023-FR-S.1, Response to Nuclear Power Generation / ATWS
• Both Reactor Trip Breakers remain closed.
• The operators have completed steps of 2-OHP-4023-FR-S.1 through opening the MG Set output Breakers to shutdown the reactor.
Which ONE of the following describes the impact and potential consequences of the Reactor Trip Breakers remaining closed?

a. main steam line isolation signal will NOT occur to prevent excessive reactivity during the trip due to rapid RCS cooldown.
b. feedwater isolation signal will NOT actuate to prevent excessive reactor coolant system cooldown from the overfeeding of the steam generators.
c. main generator trip signal will NOT be generated preventing transfer of busses to reserve feed.
d. feedwater flow conservation signal will NOT occur to ensure equal distribution of water to the steam generators.

A

b. CORRECT. P-4 (Rx Trip Breaker Position) feeds the feedwater isolation signal. Either breaker being open will cause an isolation of flow to the SGs. However with neither breaker open, all FMOs and FRVs will remain open and Main Feedpumps will not trip. This will cause excessive flow to the SGs, which could lead to an overcooling of the RCS.

Q

Given the following conditions on Unit 1:
• The Unit is operating at 75% power with all systems in automatic.
• Main Turbine DCS is in “MW IN” in preparation for turbine valve testing.
• Condenser vacuum is lowering.
Assuming no action has been taken by the crew, which ONE of the following describes the response of the rod control system to this event?
Control rods will automatically:
a. insert due to the rise in Tavg from the rise in steam flow.
b. insert due to the rise in Tavg from the lowering in steam flow.
c. withdraw due to the drop in Tavg from the rise in steam flow.
d. withdraw due to the a drop in Tavg from the lowering steam flow.

A

c. CORRECT. With the Main Turbine in “MW IN” control, the turbine valves are allowed to reposition to try to maintain Main Generator Load. As vacuum lowers, the turbine will become less efficient, causing more steam flow for the same MW output. As steam flow rises, RCS Tave will lower below Tref. With rods in AUTO, the rods will withdraw to minimize the Tave-Tref deviation.

Q

Given the following conditions on Unit 2:
• A loss of all AC Power occurred due to severe weather conditions and failure of emergency diesel generators to start and supply safeguard buses.
• The operating crew is carrying out actions of 2-OHP-4023-ECA-0.0, Loss of All AC Power.
• The operators are at a point where they are to commence cooldown and depressurization of the steam generators to 190 psig.
Based on these conditions, which ONE of the following statements describes the reason why a secondary depressurization is directed?

a. To prevent a challenge to the Core Cooling Safety Function Status Tree which is being monitored for implementation.
b. To remove stored energy in the steam generators to limit the potential of challenging RCS integrity.
c. To remove available energy in the steam generators and thus minimizing any challenges to the containment structure if a Faulted S/G were to occur.
d. To minimize RCS inventory loss through the RCP seals, which maximizes time to core uncovery.

A

d. CORRECT. The primary concern is a loss of RCS inventory with no way to recover level. This could lead to core uncovery. The SGs are depressurized to lower RCS temperature and pressure to slow the loss of inventory.

Q

Given the following conditions on Unit 2:
• Reactor is at 100% power.
• All control systems are in normal alignment.
• Letdown flow is aligned with a flow of 120 gpm at QFI-301.
The following parameters are now noted on the CVCS system:
• Seal Return Flows are 3 gpm per RCP
• Charging flow is 137 gpm and rising.
• 2-QTA-160, Regen HX Outlet Temp - Letdown, has lowered 5°F from its steady state value.
• VCT level is 33% and lowering.
• PZR level is 55% and lowering slowly.
• RCS temperature is 574°F and stable.
Which ONE of the following describes the effect on the unit and the action required to address the conditions?

a. RCS leakage is from the letdown line between the orifices and the letdown containment isolation valves. Isolate Letdown.
b. RCS leakage is from the charging line on the RCS side of the regenerative heat exchanger. Isolate Charging and Letdown.
c. RCS leakage is from the letdown line on the CVCS side of the regenerative heat exchanger. Initiate an investigation to determine if the leak is isolable.
d. RCS leakage is from the charging line on the CVCS side of the regenerative heat exchanger. Isolate Charging and Letdown.

A

b. CORRECT. If Regen Hx Outlet temperature is lowering, then more charging flow is going through the Regen Hx. This means the leak is downstream of the RHX in containment. Since Charging flow increased from a normal value of 132 GPM to 137 GPM with no other changes the leak rate is approximately 5 GPM and will required isolation of the charging header to isolate the leak.

Which ONE of the following describes the effect on the plant and the action that could be taken to mitigate the transient?
a. RHR Flow through the West HX will be lost. Throttle open IRV-311 RHR HX Bypass to maintain greater than 3000 gpm RHR flow.
b. RHR Flow through the West HX will be lost. Stop the West RHR pump immediately to prevent overpressurizing letdown.
c. RHR Flow through the West HX will rise. Throttle ICM-111, RHR Discharge to Cold Leg 2 & 3 and IRV-311 RHR HX Bypass to prevent overcooling the RCS.
d. RHR Flow through the West HX will rise. Throttle ICM-321, West RHR Injection to Loops 2 & 3 and IRV-311 RHR HX Bypass to prevent overcooling the RCS.

A

d. CORRECT. IRV-320 fails open on loss of air. This will raise RHR flow through the HX. ICM-321 can be throttled closed to reduce total RHR flow and IRV-311 can be throttled open to allow more flow to bypass the HX in order to control RCS cooldown.

Given the following conditions: • Containment pressure instrument Channel #1, 2-PPP-303, declared inoperable. • Required actions per 2-OHP-4022-013-011, Containment Instrumentation Malfunction, have been completed. • Required Technical Specification Actions have been taken for Channel #1, 2-PPP-303. Which ONE of the following describes the SI and CTS, and Containment Isolation Phase A (CIA) and B (CIB) response to a subsequent failure of CRID 4 power supply. SI CTS CIA CIB ACTUATES ACTUATES ACTUATES ACTUATES a. YES NO YES NO b. YES YES YES YES c. NO YES NO YES d. NO NO NO NO
d. CORRECT - The CTS Actuation Bistable is placed in the BYPASSED condition to preventinadvertent actuation. This changes the remaining channel coincidence to 2/3 instead of the previous 2/4. Only 3 channels (Channels 2, 3, & 4) feed the SI Actuation. The bistable for the CTS actuation is placed in the BYPASS condition, making the CTS a 2/3 coincidence for the remaining channels (2, 3, and 4). CRID 4 failure will NOT meet the 2/3 co-incidence for either the SI or CIA. CTS/CIB still required 2/3 to actuate, therefore only one channel will not cause the CTS/CIB. The logic between CTS and CIB is always the same which prevents the student from eliminating distractors based on obvious distractors; this same logic applies to SI and CIA. This forces the student to have a full understanding of the question in order to answer the question correctly.

Actions have been taken in an attempt to isolate the break. Given the following plant conditions: • PZR level is off-scale low • SI pump flow is 0 GPM • RCS pressure is 1700 psig and rising. • Aux Building Radiation Monitors are in alarm Which ONE of the following describes the status of the leak based on the requirements of 2-OHP-4023-ECA-1.2? a. The leak is isolated based on SI flow of 0 GPM b. The leak is isolated based on RCS pressure rising. c. The leak is NOT isolated based on PZR level indication not rising. d. The leak is NOT isolated based on Aux Building radiation monitor indication.
b. CORRECT. RCS pressure is the required parameter for determination of isolation Incorrect.
30
The control room operators are responding to a red path on the Heat Sink CSF. While attempting to restore feed flow to a SG in accordance with OHP-4023-FR-H.1, Response to Loss of Secondary Heat Sink, conditions degrade to the point that RCS bleed-and-feed must be established. Under these conditions, RCS bleed-and-feed must be established expeditiously to: a. prevent a loss of secondary heat sink. b. minimize core uncovery and prevent inadequate core cooling. c. prevent an overpressurization challenge to the reactor vessel. d. prevent a rapid RCS overpressurization, followed by a rapid RCS depressurization due to RCP seal failure.
b. CORRECT. If the operator cannot restore feedwater flow to the SGs, conditions will degrade to the point where RCS bleed and feed must be established to minimize core uncovery and prevent inadequate core cooling.
31
Given the following conditions: • Unit 2 Reactor Tripped due to a loss of offsite power • The crew is implementing 2-OHP-4023-ES-0.2, Natural Circulation Cooldown Which ONE fo the following describes the reason for maintaining subcooling greater than 90°F if ALL CRD fans are running OR greater than 220°F if less than ALL CRD fans are running during the cooldown. a. To collapse any voids formed in the CRD housings. b. To prevent possible void formation in the upper head. c. To prevent degradation of reactor coolant pump seals due to steam. d. To ensure adequate subcooling due to possible degradation of core exit T/Cs accuracy.
b. CORRECT. 2-OHP-4023-ES-0-2, Natural Circulation Cooldown requires an RCS subcooling of 220°F in the event CRDM fans are NOT running to preclude void formation in the upper head. Normal natural circulation RCS subcooling is 90°F.
32

Initiate makeup to the U-1 RWST from the Boric Acid Blender. b. Start one reactor coolant pump. c. Initiate makeup to the U-1 RWST from the U-2 RWST. d. Secure all ECCS and CTS pumps taking a suction from the RWST.
d. CORRECT. The Foldout Page has actions to secure RHR & CTS when level is < 11% and CCP & SI pumps when level is <7%. This would be the first action taken upon entering the procedure.
33
Operators are performing 2-OHP-4023-ECA-2.1, Uncontrolled Depressurization of All Steam Generators due to a steam leak inside containment along with failure of all SG stop valves to close. Given the following plant conditions: • Containment pressure is 3 psig. • The crew has taken action to minimize the plant cooldown. • Steam Generator AFW flow indicates 25x103 pph each SG. • T-hots are slowly lowering. • The following alarms are received: • Ann. 213 Drop 5, STEAM GEN #1 WATER LEVEL LOW-LOW • Ann. 213 Drop 35, STEAM GEN #2 WATER LEVEL LOW-LOW • Ann. 214 Drop 5, STEAM GEN #3 WATER LEVEL LOW-LOW • Ann. 214 Drop 35, STEAM GEN #4 WATER LEVEL LOW-LOW Which ONE of the following actions is required in accordance with 2-OHP-4023-ECA-2.1? a. Adjust AFW flow to 60x103 pph on each Steam Generator. The minimum NR level, per 2-OHP-4023-ECA-2.1, is 28%. b. Adjust AFW flow to 60x103 pph on each Steam Generator. The minimum NR level , per 2-OHP-4023-ECA-2.1, is 50%. c. Maintain AFW flow at its current value. If T-hot starts to rise, raise AFW flow to stabilize RCS temperature. d. Maintain AFW flow at its current value. If SG levels continue to lower, raise AFW flow to maintain SG levels >13% to prevent a transition to 2-OHP-4023-FR-H.1, Response to Loss of Secondary Heat Sink.
c. CORRECT. AFW Flow is maintained at a minimum amount since the levels are low and T-hot is lowering.
34
Given the following conditions on Unit 2: • A LOCA occurred 60 minutes ago. • Containment Pressure has risen to 5 psig. • The crew has completed steps of 2-OHP-4023-ES-1.3, Transfer to Cold Leg Recirculation, to align RHR/CTS suctions to the recirculation sump and the CCP/SI suctions to RHR Discharge. • ONLY the Train A CCP, SI, RHR, and CTS pumps are operating. • The next step of 2-OHP-4023-ES-1.3 directs the crew to "Check if RHR Spray is Required".

Upper and Lower Containment Ventilation Fans (CUV/CLV) are running. c. Containment Ventilation Isolation has occurred. d. Control Room Ventilation System is in ISOLATE.
c. CORRECT. 1-OHP-4023-FR-Z.3 requires the crew to verify Containment Ventilation Isolation.
36
Given the following conditions: • Unit 1 in Mode 4 cooling down to Mode 5 • Pressurizer level is 80% • 11PHC Pressurizer heater groups are in MANUAL and ON • Reactor coolant pumps (RCP) #13 and #14 are running • An electrical fault results in the loss of RCP Bus 1D and T11D Five minutes later it is reported the pressurizer outflow cannot be verified. Which of the following actions will reinitiate and then maintain a continuous pressurizer outflow? a. Verify pressurizer heaters from 11PHC output current and close NRV-164 Loop 4 PZR Spray Control valve b. Energize pressurizer heaters from 11PHA and close NRV-163 Loop 3 PZR Spray Control valve c. Raise the demand on NRV-164 Loop 4 PZR Spray Control valve d. Adjust charging and letdown to raise pressurizer level to 85%
b. CORRECT. The loss of RCP Bus 1D causes the loss of RCP #3. The loss of T11D causes the loss of PZR Heaters 11PHC. The operator should energize the 11PHA heaters and close the PZR Spray valve associated with the tripped RCP.
37
Unit 2 was operating at 100% power when an instrument failure caused Pressurizer Level to rise to 73%. The Crew has restored the level control instrumentation and has stabilized charging and letdown. The following conditions exist at 1300 hours: • 2-QRV-160 and 2-QRV-161, Letdown Orifice Valves are Open • Letdown Hx Outlet Flow QFI -301 118 gpm • Charging Header Flow QFI -200 120 gpm • Total seal flow to RCPs QFI -210 to 240 32 gpm • Pressurizer Level NLP-151 to 153 73% Assuming no operator actions, design RCP seal return flows, and pressurizer volume of 75 gallons/% at what time will the Pressurizer Level be returned to the 100% program value? a. 1348 hrs. b. 1406 hrs. c. 1522 hrs. d. 1618 hrs.
c. CORRECT. Unit 2 100% PZR level is 54.1%. With charging flow at 120 gpm and letdown at 118 with 12 gpm from the seals, a net of 10 gpm is being removed from the RCS system. Based on this and a conversion of ~75 gallons/% level in the PZR (either unit), level will reach the program level setpoint of 54.1% at 1522 hrs (T+141.75 minutes - 18.9%=1417.5 gallons).
38
Given the following conditions: • Pressurizer Pressure Channel #1 has failed and has been placed in the tripped condition. • Reactor trip breaker testing was taking place at 75% power. • Pressurizer Pressure Channel #2 has spiked low causing an inadvertent Safety Injection Actuation and a reactor trip on Unit 1. • Pressurizer Pressure Channel #2 has returned to a normal reading. The following conditions currently exist: • Reactor trip breaker A: OPEN • Reactor trip bypass breaker A: OPEN • Reactor trip breaker B: OPEN • Reactor trip bypass breaker B: CLOSED Which ONE of the following describes the impact (if any) this condition will have on restoring the plant to stable conditions? a. The Train B Safety Injection signal will NOT be able to be reset. Train B equipment will have to be placed in Pull-to-Lockout to stop it. b. The Train B Safety Injection signal will reset but Auto Safety Injection Actuation will NOT be blocked. c. The Safety Injection signal will NOT be able to be reset on either train. Safeguards equipment will have to be placed in Pull-to-Lockout to stop it. d. The Safety Injection signal will reset on both trains. Auto Safety Injection Actuation will be blocked.
b. CORRECT. The SI reset and P-4 block features are train specific. With a failure of Train B reactor Trip Bypass Breaker to open a P-4 signal is not generated on Train B. Since the cause of the SI was a pressure channel spike the SI signal is NOT preventing Train B from being reset. The SI will reset but the Auto SI blocking function of P-4 will NOT function on Train B.
39
Given the following conditions on Unit 1: • A reactor startup is in progress. • The reactor is critical in the source range. • N41 Power Range channel has failed and been removed from service with all bistables placed in the trip condition. • A loss of power to the CRID 2 bus occurs. Which ONE of the following actions will occur? a. Reactor trips and N32 Source Range channel is de-energized. N31 Source Range channel is still in operation. b. The reactor is critical and BOTH source range channels are de-energized. c. The reactor is critical and N32 Source Range channel is de-energized. N31 Source Range channel is still in operation. d. Reactor trips and BOTH source range channels are de-energized.
d. CORRECT. A loss of CRID 2 causes a loss of power to N42. This loss also causes a loss of power to RPS channel 2. This will cause a trip condition for Power range trips for channel 2. Since N41 is already removed from service its bistable are in the tripped condition. This meets the 2/4 logic to cause a reactor trip. Additionally the signal for 2/4 power range channels above P-10 will cause the SR channels to deenergize.
40
Given the following conditions on Unit 2: • Reactor power is 3% • East Main Feedwater Pump is in service • Both MDAFW Pumps have been stopped with control switches in NEUTRAL Which ONE of the following signals will cause an automatic start of the MDAFW Pumps? a. AMSAC East Main Feedwater Pump Trip b. Safety Injection East Main Feedwater Pump Trip c. Safety Injection Blackout Sequence d. Blackout Sequence Steam Generator Low Level of 26% on 1 of 4 SGs
c. CORRECT. Safety Injection and Blackout will start AFW Pps in Neutral or AUTO.
41
During a power ascension, with reactor power at 48%, Control Bank C - Group 1 rod B-8 drops. Prior to the drop it was at 230 steps. While restoring the rod, a control rod urgent failure alarm occurs. Which one of the following explains why the alarm actuated? a. All other Bank C - Group 1 rod lift coil disconnect switches are open. b. All Bank C - Group 2 rod lift coil disconnect switches are open. c. The step counter of the pulse to analog (P/A) converter was not reset to 0. d. Group C rod moving with group D rods withdrawn.
b. CORRECT. Since the dropped rod is completely inserted, the lift coil disconnect switches for all operable rods within the affected bank are opened. An Urgent failure will occur when the misaligned rod begins to move. This is caused by the non-movement of the group without the misaligned rod.
42
Which set of the following describes the response of the reactor protection system to a controlling feedwater flow instrument failing low with no operator action from 100% power conditions? 1) Turbine/Reactor trip on Low-Low level in associated steam generator 2) Turbine/Reactor trip on High-High level in associated steam generator 3) Feedwater Conservation 4) Feedwater Isolation a. 2 AND 3 b. 1 AND 3 c. 2 AND 4 d. 1 AND 4
c. CORRECT. The FW valves will open when the FW flow instrument fails low, causing actual level to rise to the High-High SG setpoint causing a Turbine trip and FW Isolation.
43
Given the following conditions: • Unit 2 is in Mode 3 at rated temperature and pressure awaiting a startup. • Lower Containment Cooling NESW supply is throttled to all ventilation units. • A power failure causes a loss of 4 of the 8 Lower Containment Vent units. • Average containment temperature rises from 100°F to 119°F. • Charging Flow Control is in MANUAL • Assume RCS Pressure and Temperature remain Constant. Which ONE of the following describes the change in indicated Pressurizer level due to the rise in Containment temperature? Density lowering in the _______ leg causes indicated pressurizer level to read ________ than actual level. a. reference; higher b. reference; lower c. variable; higher d. variable; lower
a. CORRECT. Pressurizer Level uses a wet reference leg DP level indicator. This compares the pressure of the full reference leg with the pressure of the actual water in the pressurizer. When these are equal the level indicates 100%. As the temperature in Containment and therefore the reference leg rises the density & weight of the reference leg lowers. This means that the level in the pressurizer will indicate higher for the same initial actual level.
44
Given the following conditions on Unit 1: • Unit is in Mode 1 at 100% power • A control air leak has resulted in isolation of glycol to containment. • WIN team states that it will take approximately 6 hours to repair the control air leak.

Monitor Ice Bed temperatures to ensure they remain < 27°F every 4 hours. b. Monitor Ice Bed temperatures to ensure they remain at an acceptable range. Enter appropriate Tech Spec actions if Ice Bed temperature rises to > 27°F c. Start all Unit 1 Air Handling Units (AHUs). Monitor Ice Bed Temperature locally once per hour until glycol system is restored. d. Maximize Containment cooling. If glycol cannot be restored within ONE hour declare the Ice Bed Inoperable.
b. CORRECT. Monitoring temperatures to ensure that they remain <27 is all that is required. The loss of glycol alone does not require Tech Spec entry
45
Given the following conditions on Unit 1: • A Large Break LOCA has occurred 10 minutes ago • 600 VAC buses 11C and 11D de-energized on the trip • All other systems function as desired. • Containment pressure is 5.0 psig and rising Which ONE of the following describes the current status of the CTS Pump discharge valves? a. ALL CTS Pump Discharge valves are OPEN b. IMO-210, East CTS Pump Discharge is CLOSED IMO-211, East CTS Pump Discharge is CLOSED Both West CTS Pump Discharge valves are OPEN c. IMO-220, West CTS Pump Discharge is CLOSED IMO-221, West CTS Pump Discharge is CLOSED Both East CTS Pump Discharge valves are OPEN d. IMO-211, East CTS Pump Discharge is CLOSED IMO-210, East CTS Pump Discharge is OPEN IMO-221, West CTS Pump Discharge is CLOSED IMO-220, West CTS Pump Discharge is OPEN
b. CORRECT. The Loss of 600VAC Bus 11D will cause the discharge valves for the East CTS pump to lose power will prevent them from opening.
46
Given the following conditions in Unit 1: • Unit is in Mode 5 • Containment pressure is negative 0.3 psig. • RP has requested that Containment Purge be placed in service. 1-OHP-4021-028-005, Operation Of The Containment Purge System, provides a defined sequence of operation due to a concern with Containment Pressure. Which ONE of the following describes this sequence and the reason for the concern while starting up the Containment Purge System? a. Start one Purge Supply fan then open the supply fan valve since Technical Specifications require Containment pressure to be < 0 PSIG at all times. b. Prior to starting the fans, open the Upper Containment Purge Supply valves to prevent Ice Condenser doors from opening when initiating containment purge. c. Prior to starting the fans, open the Lower Containment exhaust fan valves to prevent Ice Condenser doors from buckling when initiating containment purge. d. Start one Purge Exhaust fan then open the exhaust fan valve to prevent a positive pressure from adversely affecting the radiation monitor operations.
b. CORRECT. A low pressure in upper containment with respect to lower containment will cause the Ice Condenser Doors to open. 1-OHP-4021-028-005 Attachment 1 step 4.7.4 is performed to raise/equalize upper containment pressure.
47
Given the following condition on Unit 2: • Unit is operating at 100% power when an inadvertent Steam Line Isolation occurred. • Immediately following the isolation, and resultant plant response, the operators note that all the SG PORVs failed to open. One minute following the Steam Line Isolation, which ONE of the following describes the maximum expected SG pressures? a. 1025 psig b. 1040 psig c. 1065 psig d. 1085 psig
c. CORRECT. Following the Steam Line Isolation a Rx trip would be expected due to OTDT. SG pressures would initially surge opening most of the safeties but as the RCS cooled down pressures would stabilize on the lowest safety valve setpoint (1065 psig) due to the reduction in Reactor Power and Decay heat during the initial 30 seconds of the event.
48
Given the following conditions: • Reactor power is 50% with a negative moderator temperature coefficient • Control Rods are in manual. If steam flow is raised by 5 percent, which ONE of the following statements best describes how reactor power will respond to the change? Reactor power will: a. decrease to a new lower value. b. increase temporarily, then return to its initial value. c. increase to a new higher value. d. decrease temporarily, then return to its initial value.
c. CORRECT. The increased Steam flow will cause RCS temperature to lower and add positive reactivity due to the negative MTC
49
Which ONE of the following power supply failures would allow the steam dump system to continue to operate? a. CRID II b. CRID III c. 250 VDC Bus VDAB d. 250 VDC Bus VDCD
b. CORRECT. CRID III does Not supply power to the Steam Dumps or relays.
50
Unit 1 has just completed a Heatup and is preparing for a Reactor Startup. You have been directed to open the FW pump Emergency Leak Offs (ELOs). Which ONE of the following describes the indications/systems that you should check prior to opening these valves and why? a. Ensure that the FW pump is reset to allow the ELOs to be opened. b. Ensure that the FW pump oil system is operating and has been warmed to minimize the effects of cold seal water on FW pump bearings. c. Ensure that the FW pump oil system is operating to prevent damage to the FW pumps due to condensate flow spinning the pumps. d. Ensure that the FW pump has been removed from turning gear to prevent damage to the turning gear motor.
c. CORRECT. Placing flow though the FW pumps (opening recirculation valves) causes the turbine and pump to rotate at > 100 rpm and so the oil system is required for bearing protection.
51
The Unit 2 FW Pump Discharge Header Pressure Transmitter 2-FPC-250A slowly drifts LOW during normal plant operation. This will cause the MFP Speed Control System to generate an indicated FW Delta-P signal ____(1)_____ than required, causing the main feed pump(s) to ______(2)_____. Note: Assume FPC-250A is not identified as failed by DCS. (1) (2) a. larger speed up b. larger slow down c. smaller speed up d. smaller slow down
c. CORRECT. The Main FW Pump Speed control compares the UPC-102A/B (highest) steam header pressure to the FW pump Discharge pressure FPC-250A/B (lowest). The speed control attempts to maintain the Main FW Pump speed such that the FW header to Steam Header DP is on Program. When the FW Discharge Pressure drifts Low, it will appear that a smaller DP exists which will raise FW pump speed to try to raise FW pump Discharge header pressure.
52
Which ONE of the following describes the functional relationship with respect to controlling steam generator (SG) levels between the Main Feedwater Pumps (MFPs) and the Main Feedwater Regulating Valves (MFRVs) when the unit is ramping from 50% to 100% power? a. The MFPs maintain a variable differential pressure across the MFRVs, while the MFRVs throttle to maintain a constant SG water level. b. The MFPs maintain a constant differential pressure across the MFRVs, while the MFRVs throttle to maintain a variable SG water level. c. The MFPs maintain a variable differential pressure across the MFRVs, while the MFRVs throttle to maintain a variable SG water level. d. The MFPs maintain a constant differential pressure across the MFRVs, while the MFRVs throttle to maintain a constant SG water level.
a. CORRECT. The design of the SGWLC system is to maintain a constant level in the SGs at all power levels. The MFW control system however varies the programming to maintain an optimum DP across the MFRVs.
53
Given the following conditions on Unit 2: • Unit is in Mode 1. • The TDAFW Pump is tagged out of service. • A Loss of Feedwater causes a reactor trip. • Coincident with the trip, T21D Differential trip actuates.

ALL SGs being fed at 120 x 103 pph each
a. CORRECT. The T21D Differential causes a loss of T21D Bus. With a loss of T21D, Only the West MDAFW Pump is available. Capacity is ~240 x 103 pph, and it is aligned to automatically feed 1 and 4 SGs.
54
The operator incorrectly opens the breaker labeled "7.5 KVA Static Inverter Channel IV" on 250 VDC distribution panel "MCAB". The operator realizes the mistake and immediately recloses the breaker. Which ONE of the following describes the effect of these actions, if any? a. The alternate power source to the CRID Inverter will be lost when the breaker is reclosed. The CRID will transfer to the 120 VAC from the Regulating Transformer. b. The alternate power source to the CRID Inverter will be lost. No automatic action will occur when the breaker is reclosed. The auto transfer lockout must be reset at the inverter. c. The normal power source to the CRID Inverter will be lost so it will auto transfer to the alternate source. When the breaker is reclosed, it will auto transfer to the normal source. d. The normal power source to the CRID Inverter will be lost so it will auto transfer to the alternate source. When the breaker is reclosed, the auto transfer lockout must be reset at the inverter.
c. CORRECT. The static transfer switch provides a virtual zero time transfer to the alternate source in case of inverter failure. Thirty seconds after the static switch transfer event ceases and all system parameters are normal, the static switch automatically re-transfers the load to the inverter, without power interruption.
55
Which ONE of the following describes the effect on a closed Circulating Water pump breaker if DC control power is lost to the breaker? a. The breaker immediately trips open and cannot be reclosed until control power is restored. b. The breaker can be tripped from the Control Room but automatic trip functions are not operable. c. Automatic trips are not operable and tripping the breaker from the Control Room is not possible. d. Automatic breaker trips are operable but tripping the breaker from the Control Room is not possible.
c. CORRECT. A loss of DC control power will prevent breaker operations with the control switch (and trip functions)

Given the following conditions on Unit 1: •The Unit Supervisor entered 1-OHP-4022-016-001, Malfunction Of The CCW System, 5 minutes ago. The following plant conditions now exist: •Reactor Power is 8% •All RCP Motor Bearing Lube Oil CCW flow low annunciators are lit. •All flows and temperatures are STABLE as follows: RCP RCP RCP RCP #11 #12 #13 #14 •Upper Motor Bearing temps 189oF 190oF 205oF 191oF •Motor Bearing Lube Oil CCW flow 4 gpm 4 gpm 3 gpm 3 gpm Which ONE of the following describes the sequence of actions the Unit Supervisor will provide to the panel operators? a. 1) Perform a rapid shutdown per 1-OHP-4021-001-006, Rapid Power Reduction 2) Trip #13 RCP immediately after the reactor is shutdown. 3) Close NRV-163, Loop 13 PZR Spray Control b. 1) Trip the reactor 2) Go to 1-OHP-4023-E-0, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection 3) Trip #13 RCP after Reactor Trip is verified 4) Close NRV-163, Loop 13 PZR Spray Control c. 1) Trip the reactor 2) Go to 1-OHP-4023-E-0, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection 3) Trip all RCPs after Reactor Trip is verified 4) Close NRV-163 and NRV-164, Loop 13 and 14 PZR Spray Control d. 1) Perform a rapid shutdown per 1-OHP-4021-001-006, Rapid Power Reduction 2) Trip all RCPs after the reactor is shutdown. 3) Close NRV-163 and NRV-164, Loop 13 and 14 PZR Spray Control
b. CORRECT. 1-OHP-4022-016-001, Caution prior to Step 1 states that the affected RCP must be removed from service by performing Step 17 if motor bearing temperatures exceed 200oF. Step 17 and associated note states that the order is to Trip the Reactor, go to E-0, verify reactor trip, then trip the AFFECTED RCP.

Direct the SRO-CA to check for misalignment of the Refueling Cavity Drains
b. CORRECT. If RCS Level can NOT be maintained >614' then an RCS leak is in Progress and 1-OHP-4022-017-001 Loss of RHR Cooling Must be Initiated.
90
Given the following conditions on Unit 2: • Unit is in MODE 4 and preparing to startup following a refueling outage. • During the outage, all 5 Main Steam Safety Valves (MSSVs) associated with SG21 were removed and inspected. • The maintenance was satisfactory and the MSSVs will function if required. • The Inservice Testing of the MSSV setpoints has NOT been performed. • A risk assessment has NOT been performed. • Without reliance on SR 3.0.3, which ONE of the following describes if the reactor startup can proceed to MODE 3 with the MSSVs in this condition? Reference Provided a. No. The TS ACTIONS must be immediately entered and all portions of the post testing must be completed before entering MODE 3. b. No. An alternate method of setpoint verification must be used and MSSV OPERABILITY must be demonstrated before entering MODE 3. c. Yes. However, when the unit reaches MODE 2, the test must be at least started within 24 hours after entering MODE 2. d. Yes. However, when test conditions can be established, the test must be completed prior to MODE 2.
d. CORRECT. SR 3.7.1.1 NOTE states that the Surveillance Requirements are only required to be performed in MODES 1 and 2. Per Example 1.4-5, this note allows entry into Mode 3 to perform the surveillance.
91
Given the following conditions on Unit 2: • A Main Generator fire has been confirmed by an AEO who reported that flames are coming out of the Unit 2 Main Generator Shaft. After directing a Reactor/Turbine Trip and entering 2-OHP-4023-E-0, Reactor Trip Response, which ONE of the following would you direct the AEO to perform first? Dispatch an AEO to: a. Shut down the Main Generator Seal Oil System per 2-OHP-4021-080-002 Operation Of Shaft Seal Oil System b. Depressurize and Purge the Main Generator per 2-OHP-4022-053-002 Emergency Degassing Of The Electrical Generator c. Start All Fire Pumps per 12-OHP-4021-066-001, Fire Protection System (Water) Operation. d. Shut down the Generator Condition Monitor at 2-GCM-AARP-11, Generator Condition Monitor Auto Alarm Remote Panel
b. CORRECT. The major concern is the fire. The source of the fire is the H2 gas from the generator. The first action must be to eliminate the source of the H2 by degassing the main generator.
92
Given the following conditions on Unit 2: • A plant heatup is in progress following a forced shutdown • Reactor coolant average temperature at 450°F when the following Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) trains become inoperable: • 0100 on July 7, TDAFW train is declared inoperable due to 2-MCM-221 steam supply valve being inoperable. • 1830 on July 8, 2E AFW train is declared inoperable. • 1900 on July 8, 2-MCM-221 steam supply valve is restored to OPERABLE status. Including any extensions permitted by TS, and without re-entering a Technical Specification condition requiring a plant shutdown, the 2E AFW train must be restored to OPERABLE status by __________________. Reference Provided a. 0100 on July 10. b. 0100 on July 17. c. 1830 on July 11. d. 1830 on July 12.
c. CORRECT. 2E Pump 72 hour clock started when the 2E pump became INOPERABLE. The clock does not get reset with the OPERABILITY of the TDAFP
93
Given the following conditions on Unit 1: • The plant is operating at 6% power preparing for Turbine roll. • NLP-151, PZR Level Channel 1 failed 4 hours ago. The bistables have been tripped and all actions are complete as per 1-OHP-4022-013-010, Pressurizer Level Instrument Malfunction. • PZR level is currently 40% on the remaining PZR Level channels. Which ONE of the following describes the effects on the plant if NLP-153, PZR Level Channel 3 fails low and the affect on Unit Supervisor's decision to trip bistables for the Channel 3 failure? Note: Assume NO operator actions. Reference Provided a. Letdown will Isolate and heaters will de-energize. Bistables may be tripped without causing a reactor trip. Power must remain less than 10%. b. Letdown will remain in service and heaters will de-energize. Bistables should NOT be tripped since a reactor trip will be generated. Power must remain less than 10%. c. Letdown will remain in service and heaters will de-energize. Bistables may be tripped without causing a reactor trip. Power must be reduced to less than 5%. d. Letdown will Isolate and heaters will de-energize. Bistables should NOT be tripped since a reactor trip will be generated. Power must be reduced to less than 5%.
a. CORRECT. With Channel 1 NLP-151 in the tripped condition the High level Rx Trip signal will be made up for 1 channel (1/2 coincidence on remaining channels). The level control selector switch for the pressurizer is in the 2/3 position with channel 3 NLP-153 as the controlling channel. When it fails low letdown will isolate and the heaters will de-energize. When the bistables are tripped, a reactor trip signal will be generated but it is blocked by P-7 (Reactor and Turbine power both below 10%). Plant startup can NOT continue. Power must be maintained below 10% (P-7).
94
Given the following conditions on Unit 1: • Unit is in Mode 6 • Refueling cavity is filled to 24.2 feet above flange • Core reload is in progress • RCS temperature is 82°F • 1W RHR is OOS due to an Oil Leak • 1E RHR train is in operation A leak has been reported on the 1E RHR pump mechanical seal heat exchanger. To repair the leak, the RHR pump must be stopped. Maintenance estimates it will take 40 minutes to complete repairs. 1) How does this affect the ability to continue core reload? 2) What is the basis for having one RHR loop in operation in this condition? a. 1. Core reload must be stopped. 2. Provides for adequate RCS mixing and control of reactor coolant temperature. b. 1. Core reload must be stopped. 2. Ensures that a core Keff of less than or equal to 0.95 is maintained during fuel handling operations. c. 1. Core reload may continue provided no operations are permitted that would dilute the refueling cavity boron concentration. 2. Provide for adequate RCS mixing and control of reactor coolant temperature. d. 1. Core reload may continue provided no operations are permitted that would dilute the refueling cavity boron concentration. 2. Ensures that a core Keff of less than or equal to 0.95 is maintained during fuel handling operations.
a. CORRECT. Because both pumps are inoperable, core loading must stop. If the pump were not inoperable, core loading is allowed to continue without RHR for up to one hour provided no change in Boron Concentration. This allows loading near the edges of the core where flow may interfere with setting fuel assemblies. The indication and control of temperature is one of the bases for this LCO. Maintaining core Keff =0.95 is the bases of LCO 3.9.1 which is boron concentration during refueling operations. The confusion is that the RHR bases is for MIXING of the borated water to prevent potential criticality.
95
Given the following conditions on Unit 2: • A normal plant startup and power escalation to 100% was initiated following a refueling outage. • The reactor achieved 100% rated power (3468 MWth) approximately 4 hours ago. • MTI has informed the Unit Supervisor the Blowdown flow instrument for SG21 is reading approximately 100 gpm higher than actual blowdown flow. The Unit Supervisor should: a. direct the control room operator to raise power slightly since actual thermal power is less than PPC calculated thermal power of 3468 MWth. b. direct an immediate power reduction to ensure the 1 hour average does not exceed 3468 MWth. c. order that no reactor power adjustments be made for the next 1 hour so an accurate 1-hour power average is obtained. d. order that no reactor power adjustments be made for the next 4 hours and then make adjustments to power as required.
b. CORRECT. The blowdown flow error will result in PPC derived thermal power to be nonconservatively low. This may result in actual thermal power already being greater than 3468 MWth. Power must be reduced to ensure plant is operating that less than 3468 MWth actual power.
96
Given the following conditions in Unit 2: • The unit was stable at 95% power with Rod Control in AUTO • Control Bank D is at 220 steps with AFD at -6.5% • A HIGH failure of Power Range channel N41 occurred • The reactor operator responded by placing Rod control in MANUAL 15 seconds after the event. Which ONE of the following may require prompt crew actions to ensure continued compliance with Technical Specifications? Reference Provided a. Axial Flux Difference (AFD) b. Quadrant Power Tilt Ratio (QPTR) c. Rod Insertion Limits (RIL) d. Shutdown Margin (SDM)
a. CORRECT. AFD is close to the -7.2 limit of TDB 2-Figure 13.1, for 95% power. Based on the The operator response time and the maximum rod speed of 72 steps/minute, the rods would travel approximately 18 steps into the core. Rod motion would place the AFD outside the target band which is has a 15 minute requirement to restore AFD within the band or be below 90% in the next 15 minutes. TS 3.2.3, Axial Flux Difference (AFD)
97
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) 1600 420,000 6.2 1630 420,000 6.2 1700 350,000 5.8 1730 280,000 5.3 1800 260,000 4.8 1830 120,000 4.6 1900 90,000 4.3 1930 90,000 4.0 2000 90,000 3.9 At 2000 hours, while performing Emergency Operating Procedures, a step is encountered which states "Check PZR level - GREATER THAN 20% [24% ADVERSE]". Which ONE of the following describes the required Pressurizer level and why? a. 20% because the Containment Radiation levels are no longer above the Adverse setpoint requirement. b. 24% because adverse values must be used until evaluated for lasting effects because the integrated dose limit has been exceeded. c. 24% because adverse containment exists due to the current containment radiation dose rate. d. 20% because the Containment Pressure is no longer above the Adverse setpoint Requirement
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. The integrated dose is (1,015,000 R) which is greater than 106 R, so adverse containment values must be used.
98
Which ONE of the following responses correctly reflects the bases for Reactor Coolant Specific Activity in Technical Specifications? a. The short-lived radioactive isotope fission products will have decayed prior to any fuel movement. b. Limitations on specific activity in the RCS reduces corrosion product activation and subsequent RCS integrity challenge. c. During a LOCA the dose will NOT exceed the 10CFR20 limits at the site boundary. d. During a steam generator tube rupture the release of activity through the atmospheric relief valves will NOT exceed 10CFR100 limits.
d. CORRECT. The maximum dose to the whole body and the thyroid that an individual at the site boundary can receive for 2 hours during an accident is specified in 10 CFR 100 (Ref. 1). The limits on specific activity ensure that the doses are held to a small fraction of the 10 CFR 100 limits during analyzed transients and accidents. The RCS specific activity LCO limits the allowable concentration level of radionuclides in the reactor coolant. The LCO limits are established to minimize the offsite radioactivity dose consequences in the event of a steam generator tube rupture (SGTR) accident.

Given the following conditions on Unit 2: • The unit has tripped and experienced a safety injection. • While performing 2-OHP-4023-ES-1.2, Post LOCA Cooldown and Depressurization, an ORANGE path condition was noted for the Core Cooling Critical Safety Function. • 2-OHP-4023-FR-C.2, Response to Degraded Core Cooling, was entered. While performing steps of this procedure, the Shift Technical Advisor reports the following: • RED path condition exists for Core Cooling Critical Safety Function. • RED path condition exists for Containment Critical Safety Function. • NO other abnormal conditions were noted. Based on these plant conditions, which ONE of the following is the appropriate action for the Unit Supervisor to take? a. Complete actions of 2-OHP-4023-FR-C.2, Response to Degraded Core Cooling, and then transition to 2-OHP-4023-FR-Z.1, Response to Containment High Pressure. b. Complete actions of 2-OHP-4023-FR-C.2, Response to Degraded Core Cooling, and then transition to 2-OHP-4023-FR-C.1. c. Stop performing 2-OHP-4023-FR-C.2, Response to Degraded Core Cooling, and immediately transition to 2-OHP-4023-FR-Z.1, Response to Containment High Pressure. d. Stop performing 02-OHP-4023-FR-C.2, Response to Degraded Core Cooling, and immediately transition to 2-OHP-4023-FR-C.1, Response to Inadequate Core Cooling.
d. CORRECT. Per OHI-4023, Rules of usage, when a Red path is encountered, immediately initiate the FRP. Because FR-C. 1 is a higher priority than FR-Z. 1, the US should proceed to FR-C. 1 vs. FR-Z. 1.
