34

SI Exists Or Low-Low SG Level in a single SG
36
Which Load is shed by the Load Conservation energized by LOOP and CTS?
NESW Pump
37
What actions would you take if you noted that 69kV was showing a voltage of 110 V on EP Bus 1 while supplying power to T21 D during Mode 6?
Adjust Load. Remove loads on T21D to improve voltage
38
What condition would cause a load conservation signal to be generated for the Unit 2 CD EDG?
Train A SI with LOOP
39
What are the advantages of using ES-3.1, Backfill?
Minimizes Radiological Releases.
40
What are the advantages of using ES-3.2, Blowdown?
Minimizes Radiological Releases and Boron dilution
41
Why would we want to use ES-3.3, Steam Dump
Fastest of the 3 cool down methods
42
When wanting to avoid an environmental release, which cool down method would we use: ES-3.1, 3.2 or 3.3?
ES-3.1, Backfill
43
Which cool down method cools down the RCS and Depressurizes the RCS Concurrently: ES-3.1, 3.2 or 3.3?
ES-3.1, Backfill
44
When using ES-3.2, Cooldown using Blowdown and 3.3, Cooldown with Steam Dump, how is leakage between the ruptured SG and the RCS Controlled?
Cooldown is done first. The ruptured SG level is monitored and adjustments are made to RCS pressure and charging to keep it constant
45
If there are multiple ruptured SGs, which procedure should we be in?
E-3, SG Tube Rupture
46
What are some conditions that require a transition to ECA-3.1?
1. SGTR with LOCA 2. Faulted, Ruptured SG 3. SGTR with ALL SG Stop valves failing to close 4. Minimum dP (250#) between ruptured and intact SGs can’t be maintained.
47
Why would we transition from ECA-3.1, SGTR with loss of RC - sub cooled recovery desired to ECA-3.2, SGTR with loss of RC- saturated recovery desired?
1. RWST level is low with NO corresponding rise in containment sumps 2. Ruptured SG Level is HIGH. SG Overfill is imminent
48
In ECA-3.3, SGTR without PRZ Pressure Control, the first major action is to restore pressure control What must occur to proceed to the SI Termination steps in this procedure and stop waiting for pressure control?
Ruptured SG Level >67% and PRZ Level > 21%
49
ECA-3.3, SGTR without Pressurizer Pressure Control directs operators to adjust charging flow to maintain sub cooling, NOT to restore PRZ Level. WHY?
Raising PRZ Level would raise RCS Pressure, which would raise RCS Leakage
50
What happens to the Thermal Utilization Factor (f) as fission product poison concentrations go up?
Thermal Utilization Factor LOWERS because of competition. This causes negative reactivity
51
What is a fission product poison?
A fission product that has a substantial neuron absorption cross section and does not fission

95%
56
What happens to Xe-135 concentric on a unit trip after operating for 200 days at 100% power? Why?

64
How long does it take to reach the Xenon Peak after a power change?
Square Root of the % change in power
65
What effect does core age have on Xenon?
Xenon concentration Lowers, but Xenon Reactivity becomes more negative due to less competition
66
What can affect both the production and removal of Xe-135?
Thermal Neutron Flux Level
67
How will the Xenon-135 production terms (direct fission and decay of iodine) change when a reactor is quickly rambled up to 100% power from a steady state 50% power?

68
Which Reactor will have a Higher Peak when tripped? Reactor at 50% power Reactor 100% power

Fission Product Poison Buildup
71
