PCS temperature is being controlled with the Turbine Bypass Valve in AUTO
- The Atmospheric Steam Dumps are closed with the control room C-02 panel
Steam Dump Controller, HIC-0780A in AUTO
- The Average Temperature Display Select Switch is in the LOOP 2 position
Which of the following describes the effect of a loss of the Tave signal from TYT-0200
(e.g., signal failed LOW) on the plant. (Assume NO operator action has been taken.)
A. The only means of PCS heat removal with the secondary plant is via the Main
Steam Code Safety valves.
B. The Turbine Bypass Valve fails closed and will NOT open until the Average
Temperature Display Select Switch is placed in LOOP 1 position.
C. The Turbine Bypass Valve fails closed and will NOT open. The ADVs will open on
a quick open signal.
D. The TBV will modulate open/closed to maintain S/G pressures at setpoint. The
ADVs will NOT modulate open.

D. The TBV will modulate open/closed to maintain S/G pressures at setpoint. The

CORRECT - The Turbine Bypass Valve controls on either the dump control
error signal OR main steam pressure signal, whichever is highest; therefore
TBV operation for these conditions is relatively unaffected. For the ADVs,
losing the Tave signal disables auto operation of the ADVs.

What is the basis for requiring the Steam Generator Low Pressure (SGLP) Actuation signal to be operable in MODE 3? A. Ensure the least affected Steam Generator is isolated to preclude the loss of a S/G as a heat sink. B. Ensure the MSIVs close to preclude the possibility of a positive reactivity addition event. C. Ensure the Steam Generators are isolated to protect the pressurizer from pressurized thermal shock due to an overcooling event. D. Ensure Tech Spec cooldown limits are not exceeded due to a Main Steam Line Break event.

B. Ensure the MSIVs close to preclude the possibility of a positive reactivity addition event.

The plant is in MODE 3 with TAVE at 5320F. The Operating Crew is preparing to place the first Main Feedwater Pump in service. Both CV-0701 and CV-0703, FW Regulating Valves are closed with power available. It is determined that CV-0703, E-50B FW Regulating Valve, is inoperable and must be closed and de-energized or isolated manually within 8 hours. What is the basis for the above actions associated with CV-0703, E-50B FW Regulating Valve? A. Limit the amount of high energy fluid entering containment in the event of an Excess Steam Demand event inside containment. B. Isolate containment in the event of an Excess Steam Demand event inside containment. C. Prevent overfilling a faulted Steam Generator during a Steam Generator tube rupture. D. Ensure feedwater is not supplied to a dry Steam Generator via a Condensate Pump as S/G pressure drops below 500 psia.

A. Limit the amount of high energy fluid entering containment in the event of an Excess Steam Demand event inside containment.

The plant is at 50% power. Atmospheric Steam Dump (ASDV) Controller, HIC-Ol80A, is in MANUAL. A loss of Preferred AC Bus Y-20 then occurs. Which ONE of the following describes operation of the Atmospheric Steam Dump Valves (ASDVs) if an automatic reactor trip were to occur with the above conditions? A. quick open and then modulate closed as designed B. modulate open and then closed C. remain closed D. quick open and remain open

B. modulate open and then closed ONP-24.1: HIC-Ol80A is powered from Y-10. Quick Open circuit does not go through HIC-Ol80A. Reactor trip from 50% power is not sufficient to cause a quick open signal.

A plant cooldown is in progress. MSIV closure was blocked using both pushbuttons when the criterion for blocking was met on both S/Gs. EK-0970, "STEAM GEN VALVES ISOLATION LOCKOUT alarm has annunciated and is still lighted. Subsequent to establishing the block, adjustments were made to the Turbine Bypass Valve position to lower the cooldown rate. Steam Generator pressures rose to the following values and did not go higher: AS/G 538 540 536 530 B S/G 540 554 546 552 Which of the following best describes the effect of continuing the plant cooldown without any further Operator action? A. 'B' S/G MSIV only will close if no further action to block is taken. B. Both MSIVs will close if no further action to block is taken. C. Neither MSIV will close as the block is "sealed in" once initiated. D. 'A' S/G MSIV only will close if no further action to block is taken.

B. Both MSIVs will close if no further action to block is taken. Correct. The block on 'B' S/G is removed if S/G 3 of 4 logic is lost by 2 S/G pressures> block setpoint.

The plant startup is in progress in accordance with GCL-2, Mode 5 To Mode 3 greater than or equal to 525°F. Which of the following conditions MUST be met to prior to commencing warm-up of the Main Steam lines using the MSIV Bypass Valves? A. Reactor power = 2% power. TAVE approaching 520°F B. Steam Generator pressure = 900 psia and TAVE = 525°F C. Keff 538°F

C. Keff

Which one of the following statements describes the expected response of the Atmospheric Steam Dump Valves (ADVs) and the Turbine Bypass Valve (TBV) immediately following a reactor trip from 60% power? A. ADVs Quick open and modulate closed and are full closed when TAVE is = 540°F; TBV Quick opens and modulates closed as S/G pressure approaches 895 psia. B. ADVs Quick open and modulate closed and are full closed when TAVE is = 535°F; TBV Quick opens and modulates closed as S/G pressure approaches 895 psia. C. ADVs modulate open and are full closed when TAVE is = 535°F; TBV modulates open and modulates closed as S/G pressure approaches 895 psia. D. ADVs modulate open and are full closed when TAVE is = 540°F; TBV modulates open and modulates closed as S/G pressure approaches 895 psia.

C. ADVs modulate open and are full closed when TAVE is = 535°F; TBV modulates open and modulates closed as S/G pressure approaches 895 psia.
