Q

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%

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.

To minimize the effects of a single SBCS component failure possibly causing the
inadvertent opening of more than one steam bypass valve, only one steam bypass
valve should be placed in Automatic with a manual permissive.
