All NRC Written exam questions were reviewed by the Training staff with the
candidates. The following questions were missed by more than 50% of the candidates and
remediated with the candidates. Any additional actions are documented at the end of the
question.
19.

Unit 1 is at 18%. Motor Driven AFW pump 1-2 is out of service.

The operator trips the reactor due to loss of 12 kV bus D.

When the operator checks AFW status, steam generator narrow range levels have
lowered to 58%.

Without operator action, what is the expected status of the AFW pumps and AFW flow
indication?

A. None of the AFW pumps started; no AFW indicated to all four steam generators.

B. Only the Motor Driven AFW pump 1-3 started; AFW indicated to only the 1-1
and 1-2 Steam Generators.

C. The Turbine Drive AFW pump and Motor Driven AFW pump 1-3 started; max
AFW indicated to all four steam generators.

D. Only the Turbine Driven AFW pumps started; max AFW indicated to all four
Steam Generators.

Additional action: none

38.

GIVEN:
• Unit 1 is at 70% power, ramping down at 5 MW/minute due to screen DP alarms
• The crew has entered OP AP-7, Degraded Condenser, section C, Travelling Screen
Problem
• All screens are in HIGH speed in MANUAL
• Circ Water pump 11 screen DP is 80 inches and rising
• Circ Water pump 12 screen DP is 40 inches and rising

Which of the following actions should be taken by the crew in accordance with
OP AP-7?

A. Trip the reactor and then trip both Circ Water pumps.

B. Trip the Circ Water pump 11 and monitor pump 12 screens for increased loading
due to backflow from the 11 pump.

C. Trip Circ Water pump 12 and monitor pump 11 screens for decreased loading due
to backflow from the 12 pump.

D. Continue to monitor screen DP and increase the ramp rate to reduce power to less
than 50%, then remove Circ Water pump 11 from service.

Answer: B.

Additional action: none.

76.

GIVEN:
• A LOCA has occurred
• The crew is performing the actions of E-1, Loss of Reactor or Secondary Coolant
• No CCW pumps are running
• The Work Control Lead is reviewing OP AP-11, Malfunction of Component Cooling
Water
• All ECCS pumps and RCPs are secured due to the loss of cooling
• Core exit thermocouples are 620°F and rising

Based on a recommendation from the Work Control Lead, the Shift Foreman considers
directing the operator to start Charging Pump 1-3.

What action should be taken by the Shift Foreman regarding starting of the 1-3 Charging
pump?

A. Do not direct the action because it is not a step in E-1.

B. Invoke 50.54x, notify the NRC and then direct the operator to start the pump.

C. Pull a step forward from E-1 forward and then direct the operator to start the 1-3
CCP.

D. Direct the operator to start the pump, this is allowed by OP1.DC10, Conduct of
Operations.

Answer: D

77.

GIVEN:
• The crew is performing step 19, Restore Temporary Core Cooling of FR-C.1,
Response to Inadequate Core Cooling
• Core Exit Thermocouples are 1350°F and rising
• RCP seal cooling was lost to all RCPs but has been re-established
• Narrow Range Steam Generator Levels:
o 11 = 35%
o 12 = 50%
o 13 = 5%
o 14 = 0%

Per the guidance of FR-C.1, what action should the Shift Foreman take regarding starting
the RCPs?

A. Wait for an evaluation of the RCP seals to be performed prior to starting any
RCP.

B. Direct the operator to start either the 1-3 or the 1-4 RCP.

C. Direct the operator to start the 1-2 RCP.

D. Direct the operator to start the 1-1 RCP.
