Q100 — Emergency PAR Default
G2.4.38 (4.4)
Given:
REFERENCE PROVIDED
At time 08:00
• The Shift Manager has declared a SITE AREA EMERGENCY per FB1.L and RB1.L, "Loss of the Fuel Clad Barrier and Loss of Reactor Coolant System Barrier"
At time 08:45
• Operational conditions have deteriorated
• The Shift Manager/Emergency Director has declared a GENERAL EMERGENCY per FB1.L, RB1.L and CB1.L, "Loss of the Fuel Clad Barrier, Loss of Reactor Coolant System Barrier and Loss Of Containment Barrier" (13 PTS)
• R44A/B (Containment High Range Area Monitors) are reading 1000 R/hr
At time 08:55
• The Shift Manager/Emergency Director has completed the Initial Contact Message Form (ICMF) and the form has been verified by the STA
At time 09:50
• A wind shift has occurred and the SM is evaluating the need for a possible Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) Upgrade
Which ONE of the following completes the statements below?
At 08:55, the correct INITIAL PAR on the ICMF should be the _(1)_ PAR.
Based on the wind shift at 09:50, the SM will declare _(2)_ PAR Upgrade.

Which ONE of the following completes the statements below?
At 08:55, the correct INITIAL PAR on the ICMF should be the _(1)_ PAR.
Based on the wind shift at 09:50, the SM will declare _(2)_ PAR Upgrade.
A. (1) Default (2) NO
B. (1) Default (2) an RPSA
C. (1) RPSA (2) an RPSA
D. (1) RPSA (2) NO
▶ Show Answer & Explanation
✓ A. Correct. For Part 1 and IAW EP-SA-111-F4 Attachment 4 (Appendix 1), the correct PAR is the Default PAR. For Part 2 and IAW EP-SA-111-F4 Attachment 4 (Appendix 1), NO PAR Upgrade is required.
✗ B. Incorrect but plausible. Part 1 is correct. For Part 2, the operator could incorrectly apply IAW EP-SA-111-F4 Attachment 4 (Appendix 1), and determine that an RPSA PAR Upgrade is required.
✗ C. Incorrect but plausible. For Part 1, the operator could incorrectly use the flow chart and incorrectly determine the RPSA PAR is required. For Part 2, the operator could incorrectly apply IAW EP-SA-111-F4 Attachment 4 (Appendix 1), and determine that an RPSA PAR Upgrade is required.
✗ D. Incorrect but plausible. For Part 1, the operator could incorrectly use the flow chart and incorrectly determine the RPSA PAR is required. Part 2 is correct.
