Q

Given the followng conditions:
-The plant is in Mode 1.
-T-82A, Safety Injection Tank, level has just been adjusted to 46% using High
Pressure Safety Injection Pump P-66A.
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

in these pipes.
