073 PRM-K4.01 (4.0)
Given:
• Unit 1 and Unit 2 are at 100% Reactor Power
At time 17:00
• 1R19A (Steam Generator Blowdown Liquid Monitor) goes into WARNING
At time 19:45
• 2R19C (Steam Generator Blowdown Liquid Monitor) goes into WARNING
Which ONE of the following completes the statements below?
At 17:01, 11GB185 (Blowdown Discharge to Condenser) is _(1)_.
At 19:46, 23GB185 (Blowdown Discharge to Condenser) is _(2)_.
• Unit 1 and Unit 2 are at 100% Reactor Power
At time 17:00
• 1R19A (Steam Generator Blowdown Liquid Monitor) goes into WARNING
At time 19:45
• 2R19C (Steam Generator Blowdown Liquid Monitor) goes into WARNING
Which ONE of the following completes the statements below?
At 17:01, 11GB185 (Blowdown Discharge to Condenser) is _(1)_.
At 19:46, 23GB185 (Blowdown Discharge to Condenser) is _(2)_.
A. _(1)_ closed _(2)_ open
B. _(1)_ closed _(2)_ closed
C. _(1)_ open _(2)_ open
D. _(1)_ open _(2)_ closed
▶ Show Answer & Explanation
✓ D. Correct. For Part 1, Unit 1 has no automatic functions when a R19 goes in to warning. Automatic functions only occur when the monitor goes into alarm. Consequently, with 1R19A in warning (at 17:01:00), 11GB185 (Blowdown Discharge to Condenser) is open. For Part 2, Unit 2 has automatic functions that occur when a R19 goes in to warning. Consequently, with 2R19C in warning (at 19:46:00), 23GB185 (Blowdown Discharge to Condenser) is closed.
✗ A. Incorrect but plausible. For Part 1, the candidate may incorrectly conclude that for Unit 1, there are automatic functions when a R19 goes in to warning. Consequently, the candidate would then incorrectly deduce that at 17:01:00, 11GB185 (Blowdown Discharge to Condenser) is closed. For Part 2, the candidate may incorrectly conclude that for Unit 2, there are no automatic functions when a R19 goes in to warning. Consequently, the candidate would then incorrectly deduce that at 19:46:00, 23GB185 (Blowdown Discharge to Condenser) is open.
✗ B. Incorrect but plausible. For Part 1, the candidate may incorrectly conclude that for Unit 1, there are automatic functions when a R19 goes in to warning. Consequently, the candidate would then incorrectly deduce that at 17:01:00, 11GB185 (Blowdown Discharge to Condenser) is closed. Part 2 is correct.
✗ C. Incorrect but plausible. Part 1 is correct. For Part 2, the candidate may incorrectly conclude that for Unit 2, there are no automatic functions when a R19 goes in to warning. Consequently, the candidate would then incorrectly deduce that at 19:46:00, 23GB185 (Blowdown Discharge to Condenser) is open.
