Q25 — Control Air CA330 / PORV Accumulators
078 IAS-K3.01 (3.1)
Which ONE of the following completes the statement below?
11CA330 (CONT SUP INLET VALVE) and 12CA330 (CONT SUP INLET VALVE) fail CLOSED on a Loss of _(1)_.
With BOTH 11CA330 and 12CA330 closed, EACH PZR PORV _(2)_ be operated if needed.
11CA330 (CONT SUP INLET VALVE) and 12CA330 (CONT SUP INLET VALVE) fail CLOSED on a Loss of _(1)_.
With BOTH 11CA330 and 12CA330 closed, EACH PZR PORV _(2)_ be operated if needed.
A. _(1)_ Control Air _(2)_ can
B. _(1)_ Control Air _(2)_ can NOT
C. _(1)_ 125 VDC or 28 VDC Power _(2)_ can
D. _(1)_ 125 VDC or 28 VDC Power _(2)_ can NOT
▶ Show Answer & Explanation
✓ A. Correct. For Part 1, the CA330s fail closed on a loss of control air. For Part 2, each PORV has 2 accumulators and the accumulators are sized for 100 opening/closing cycles (50/accumulator). Consequently, with BOTH 11CA330 and 12CA330 CLOSED, each PZR PORV can be operated if needed.
✗ B. Incorrect but plausible. Part 1 is correct. For Part 2, the candidate could fail to recall that each PORV have accumulators. Consequently, with BOTH 11CA330 and 12CA330 CLOSED, the candidate would then incorrectly conclude that the PORVs can not be operated if needed.
✗ C. Incorrect but plausible. For Part 1, since the CA330s are Containment Isolation Valves, the candidate could incorrectly conclude that the CA330s fail closed on a loss of 125 VDC or 28 VDC Power. Part 2 is correct.
✗ D. Incorrect but plausible. For Part 1, since the CA330s are Containment Isolation Valves, the candidate could incorrectly conclude that the CA330s fail closed on a loss of 125 VDC or 28 VDC Power. For Part 2, the candidate could fail to recall that each PORV have accumulators. Consequently, with BOTH 11CA330 and 12CA330 CLOSED, the candidate would then incorrectly conclude that the PORVs can not be operated if needed.
