Q27 — CA330 Operability and Isolation Setpoint
078 Instrument Air System (IAS)-G2.2.38 (3.6)
Given:
Which ONE of the following completes the statement below?
In accordance with LCO 3.6.3 (Containment Isolation Valves), the 21CA330 (Control Air Isolation Valve) and 22CA330 (Control Air Isolation Valve) are required to be OPERABLE in _(1)_.
The 21CA330 and 22CA330 will automatically close when Containment Pressure FIRST exceeds _(2)_ psig.
Which ONE of the following completes the statement below?
In accordance with LCO 3.6.3 (Containment Isolation Valves), the 21CA330 (Control Air Isolation Valve) and 22CA330 (Control Air Isolation Valve) are required to be OPERABLE in _(1)_.
The 21CA330 and 22CA330 will automatically close when Containment Pressure FIRST exceeds _(2)_ psig.
A. _(1)_ ALL MODES / _(2)_ 4
B. _(1)_ ALL MODES / _(2)_ 15
C. _(1)_ MODES 1-4 ONLY / _(2)_ 4
D. _(1)_ MODES 1-4 ONLY / _(2)_ 15
▶ Show Answer & Explanation
✓ C. Correct. For Part 1 and IAW LCO (3.6.3), the CA330s (Control Air Isolation Valves) are required to be OPERABLE in MODES 1-4 ONLY. For Part 2, The CA330s will automatically close on a Phase A Containment Isolation. A Phase A Containment Isolation signal is generated when Containment Pressure FIRST exceeds 4 psig.
✗ A. Incorrect but plausible. For Part 1, there are other LCOs that are applicable in ALL MODES. Consequently, the candidate could incorrectly conclude that LCO 3.6.3 is applicable in ALL MODES. Part 2 is correct.
✗ B. Incorrect but plausible. For Part 1, there are other LCOs that are applicable in ALL MODES. Consequently, the candidate could incorrectly conclude that LCO 3.6.3 is applicable in ALL MODES. For Part 2, 15 psig is the setpoint for a Phase B Containment Isolation Signal. The candidate could incorrectly conclude that the CA330s close on a Phase B Containment Isolation Signal.
✗ D. Incorrect but plausible. Part 1 is correct. For Part 2, 15 psig is the setpoint for a Phase B Containment Isolation Signal. The candidate could incorrectly conclude that the CA330s close on a Phase B Containment Isolation Signal.
