• Unit 2 is at 100% Reactor Power
• ALL AFW Pump Controllers are in the "LOCAL MANUAL" alignment
At time 12:00
• A Reactor Trip and Safety Injection occurs
Which ONE of the following completes the statement below?
At 12:05, ___ AFW Pump(s) is/are running.
A. ALL
B. NO
C. ONLY 21 and 22
D. ONLY 23
▶ Show Answer & Explanation
✓ C. Correct. With ALL of the AFW Pump Controllers in LOCAL MANUAL, all automatic AFW starts are disabled except those starts initiated from by the SECs. At 12:00 when the Safety Injection occurs, the SECs will actuate in Mode 1 which will send an automatic start signal to ONLY 21 and 22 AFW pumps. Consequently, at 12:05, ONLY 21 and 22 AFW pumps are running.
✗ A. The candidate could correctly determine that with ALL of the AFW Pump Controllers in LOCAL MANUAL, all automatic AFW starts are disabled except those starts initiated from by the SECs. The candidate could then incorrectly conclude that ALL of the AFW pumps receive an automatic start signal from the SECs which would then cause the candidate to incorrectly conclude at 12:05, ALL AFW Pumps are running.
✗ B. The candidate could incorrectly conclude that with ALL of the AFW Pump Controllers in LOCAL MANUAL, all automatic AFW starts are disabled (including those starts initiated from by the SECs). This would then cause the candidate to incorrectly conclude at 12:05, NO AFW Pumps are running.
✗ D. The candidate could correctly determine that with ALL of the AFW Pump Controllers in LOCAL MANUAL, all automatic AFW starts are disabled except those starts initiated from by the SECs. The candidate could then incorrectly conclude that ONLY 23 AFW pump receives an automatic start signal from the SECs which would then cause the candidate to incorrectly conclude at 12:05, ONLY 23 AFW Pump is running.
