Given the following conditions:
The Plant is at 30% power during a power escalation.
BOTH Condensate Pumps are in service.
ONE Main Feedwater Pump is in service.
One of the operating Condensate Pumps trips.
Which of the following describes the impact on the Condensate System Recirculation
Valve (CV-0730), and what must the operator do?
CV-0730 will throttle in the ‘”
A. OPEN direction and direct more flow to feedwater trains. Monitor Heater Drain
Pumps for normal operation.
B. OPEN direction and direct more flow to the Main Condenser Hotwell. Align
alternate Gland Seal Exhauster to maintain vacuum.
C. CLOSED direction and direct more flow to feedwater trains. Monitor Heater Drain
Pumps for normal operation.
D. CLOSED direction and direct more flow to the Main Condenser Hotwell. Align
alternate cooling to Air Ejector Condenser to maintain vacuum.
C. CLOSED direction and direct more flow to feedwater trains. Monitor Heater Drain
Pumps for normal operation.
Since the valve is designed to maintain -5800 gpm through the system, and that flow has been significantly reduced due to the pump trip, CV-0730 will actually CLOSE and attempt to maintain 5800 gpm.
Which of the following describes the operation and purpose of the Main Feed
Regulating Bypass Valve “auto closure on low S/G pressure” key switch?
A. “ENABLE” allows an operator to open the bypass valve on a low S/G pressure to
allow feeding the steam generators with the condensate pumps.
B. “DEFEAT” allows an operator to open the bypass valve on a low S/G pressure to
allow feeding the steam generators with the condensate pumps.
C. “DEFEAT” ensures that the valve is closed on a low S/G pressure.
D. “ENABLE” ensures that the valve is open on a low S/G pressure.
B. “DEFEAT” allows an operator to open the bypass valve on a low S/G pressure to
allow feeding the steam generators with the condensate pumps.
DEFEAT means to defeat the auto closure on low S/G pressure.
These valves would be need open if feeding with Condensate Pumps.
Which of the following conditions will result in a trip of the Turbine Driven Main
Feedwater pump?

Pumps; HPSI is normal source to drive OTC.
Given the following:
• Plant is at 50% power
• MFW Pump and Valve controllers are in AUTO

C. Reactor trip on high S/G level
D. ‘A’ S/G level oscillates between 60% to 80%

eventually cause trip on low level.

B. They trip due to overspeeding of the MFW pump turbines.
