Unit 3 is at 100% power with all systems in a normal lineup.
The main condenser ‘A’ vacuum breaker water seal is lost, and condenser backpressure rises to 8 in HgA.
With no operator action, which statement correctly describes plant conditions after one minute?
A. The main turbine has tripped, and reactor power has stabilized around 55%
B. The main turbine has tripped, and reactor power has stabilized around 20%

Unit 1 is at 100% power with all systems in a normal lineup.
The core is at 25 EFPD.
A grid disturbance causes a generator trip.
The RO notes that a reactor power cutback has occured, and Regulating Group 3 CEAs are stepping inward.
With no operator action, the RO should expect CEA motion to continue until:
A. TLI is less than 15%
B. Control Channel power is less than 50%
C. Tave is two degrees higher than Tref
D. Control Channel power is 2% higher than TLI
B
Unit 2 is at 100% power with all systems in a normal lineup.
What statement is correct concerning the turbine runback signal?
A. SBCS is currently sending a runback signal to the RPCB system, and will stop sending the signal when Control Channel power is less than 60%
B. SBCS is not currently sending a runback signal to the RPCB system. The signal will be sent to RPCB once TLI is less than 60%, and will stop when Tavg and steam pressure are sufficiently raised.
C. SBCS is currently sending a runback signal to the RPCB system. The signal will continue to be sent to RPCB until TLI is less than 60% and Tavg and steam pressure are sufficiently raised.
D. SBCS is not currently sending a runback signal to the RPCB system. The signal will be sent to RPCB once TLI is less than 60%, and will stop when Tavg and steam pressure are sufficiently lowered.
