A normal plant shutdown is in progress, and the following conditions exist:
- Reactor power is 90%
- The instrument air supply line to Main Feed Regulating Valve CV-0701 breaks upstream of the filter F-46
If the reactor were to trip under these conditions, this could result in:
A. Overcooling of the PCS and a safety injection if MainFeed Pumps are not tripped or the Feed Block Valves are NOT closed.
B. Lifting of the Pressurizer code safeties due to the large reduction in feedwater caused by the instrument line break
C. Overcooling of the PCS and a safety injection since the atmospheric steam dump valves will fail open due to the instrument air line break
D. Lifting of steam generator code safeties since the atmospheric dump valves will fail due to the instrument air line break
A. Overcooling of the PCS and a safety injection if MainFeed Pumps are not tripped or the Feed Block Valves are NOT closed
With the plant at 100% power Control Rod 35 (Group 3 rod very center of the core) drops halfway into the core (66 inches withdrawn). Five minutes after the rod has dropped into the core what will ASI be, how will the Nl power indications compare to the actual core power, and what action should be taken to lower core power?
A. ASI will be positive, Nl power will be lower than actual, lower power with group 4 up to80inchesinserted
B. ASI will be positive, Nl power will be higher than actual, borate to lower reactor power
C. ASI will be negative, Nl power will be lower than actual, lower power with group 4 up BOinchesinserted
D. ASI will be negative, Nl power will be higher than actual, borate to lower reactor power
B. ASI will be positive, Nl power will be higher than actual, borate to lower reactor power
Power will be suppressed in the top of the core. In aCE plant that results in ASI being positive. Nl power will be higher than actual because the radial core power profile will have shifted toward the exterior. Xenon effects are minimized by the short time frame of the question (i.e. 5 minutes) Since the Nl’s are primarily monitoring the exterior of the core they will be at an elevated power compared to actual core power until they are recalibrated. In ONP-5.1 rods are not to be used to lower core power. This reduces the value of the dropped rod and maintains the maximum shutdown margin.
