2018 Q46 — Control Room Ventilation Rad Monitor

⚠️ DRAFT
Q46 — Control Room Ventilation Rad Monitor G2.3.14 (3.4)
Given:
• Unit 1 and Unit 2 are at 100% Reactor Power

At time 12:00
• 2R1B-2 (Unit 1 Control Room Intake Duct) goes into WARNING

At time 12:10
• 2R1B-2 goes into ALARM

Which ONE of the following completes the statement below?

_(1)_ is the EARLIEST time that Control Room Ventilation has shifted to ACCIDENT PRESSURIZED MODE with _(2)_ EACS Intake dampers AUTOMATICALLY opening.
A. _(1)_ 12:00 / _(2)_ ONLY Unit 2
B. _(1)_ 12:00 / _(2)_ Unit 1 and Unit 2
C. _(1)_ 12:10 / _(2)_ ONLY Unit 2
D. _(1)_ 12:10 / _(2)_ Unit 1 and Unit 2
▶ Show Answer & Explanation
✓ C. Correct. For Part 1, the Control Room Ventilation will shift to ACCIDENT PRESSURIZED MODE when 2R1B-2 goes into ALARM. This first occurs at 12:10. For Part 2, when 2R1B-2 (Rad monitor is located in Unit 1 Normal Intake Duct) goes into alarm, ONLY the Unit 2 EACS Intake dampers AUTOMATICALLY open.
✗ A. Incorrect but plausible. For Part 1, other Radiation Monitors (2R19s and 1R19s) have automatic functions when the monitor goes into WARNING. Consequently, the candidate could incorrectly conclude that Control Room Ventilation will shift to ACCIDENT PRESSURIZED MODE when 2R1B-2 goes into WARNING. Part 2 is correct.
✗ B. Incorrect but plausible. For Part 1, other Radiation Monitors (2R19s and 1R19s) have automatic functions when the monitor goes into WARNING. Consequently, the candidate could incorrectly conclude that Control Room Ventilation will shift to ACCIDENT PRESSURIZED MODE when 2R1B-2 goes into WARNING. For Part 2, since Unit 1 and Unit 2 control room share the same Control Room Envelope, the candidate could incorrectly conclude that Unit 1 and Unit 2 EACS Intake dampers will automatically open.
✗ D. Incorrect but plausible. Part 1 is correct. For Part 2, since Unit 1 and Unit 2 control room share the same Control Room Envelope, the candidate could incorrectly conclude that Unit 1 and Unit 2 EACS Intake dampers will automatically open.
