The reason for monitoring pressure between the SI line check valves for several hours
is because the pressure may:
A. RISE due to heat transfer across the PCS check valves, expanding the cooler water
in these pipes.
B. RISE due to increased check valve leakage since the differential pressure across
the check valve was lowered during the fill.
C. LOWER as the sampling is performed on the Safety Injection Tank, and thereby
causing flashing in the line.
D. LOWER due to leakage back to the Low Pressure Safety Injection (LPSI) pump
discharge, causing LPSI discharge pressure to rise to its relief valve setpoint.
A. RISE due to heat transfer across the PCS check valves, expanding the cooler water
in these pipes.
Given the following conditions:
-The plant is being cooled down and depressurized in preparation for a refueling outage.

D- 1705 psia
The Safety Injection signal is:
B. no longer blocked since 3/4 pressure channels have increased above 1690 psia. SIS WILL actuate when pressure is lowered to

Which one of the following describes the significance of the check valve leakage to the task of filling the SI tank?
A. The HPSI train injection valve should be opened slowly to prevent water hammer, since a steam void may have formed in the line

C. The HPSI train injection valve should be opened quickly in an attempt to reseat the check valve while filling the SI Tank
D. Filling the SIT will lower its pressure, resulting in lower pressure in the SI line on that loop, causing flashing in the line
