⚠️ DRAFT
Q97 — Protected Equipment Program G2.2.21 (4.1)
Given:
  • Unit 1 is at 100% Power.
  • 12 Charging Pump is scheduled to be cleared and tagged for Preventative Maintenance.
  • The Preventative Maintenance Tasks are expected to take 24 hours to complete.

Complete the following statements concerning the implementation of OP-AA-108-116, Protected Equipment Program.

(1) The __(1)__ has overall authority of the protected equipment program.

(2) Prior to tagging 12 Charging Pump, redundant equipment must be protected when it's unavailability or manipulation could cause ___(2)___.
A. (1) Shift Manager
(2) entry into Tech Spec 3.0.3 or the unit to be in Hot Shutdown in 12 hours or less.
B. (1) Work Control Supervisor
(2) entry into Tech Spec 3.0.3 or the unit to be in Hot Shutdown in 12 hours or less.
C. (1) Work Control Supervisor
(2) overall online risk assessment to change to Orange.
D. (1) Shift Manager
(2) overall online risk assessment to change to Orange.
▶ Show Answer & Explanation
✓ A. Correct. The Shift Manager has overall authority of the protected equipment program. Step 4.2.1 of OP-AA-108-116 states; "Prior to removal of SSCs from service, protect redundant equipment if plant configuration is such that a single piece of redundant equipment unavailability or manipulation would cause: An entry into Tech Spec 3.0.3 ..." In this case the loss of 11 Charging Pump would result in a 3.0.3 entry.
✗ B. The first part is plausible because the Work Control Supervisor is responsible for facilitating the tagging of equipment and ensuring protected equipment is walked down each shift. The second part is correct.
✗ C. The first part is plausible because the Work Control Supervisor is responsible for facilitating the tagging of equipment and ensuring protected equipment is walked down each shift. The second part is plausible if the candidate believes that if manipulations would cause an overall increase in online risk assessment, then equipment must be protected. Incorrect as step 4.2.1 of OP-AA-108-116 specifically states; "if manipulations would cause an overall online risk assessment change to RED risk", not ORANGE.
✗ D. The first part is correct. The second part is plausible if the candidate believes that if manipulations would cause an overall increase in online risk assessment, then equipment must be protected. Incorrect as step 4.2.1 of OP-AA-108-116 specifically states; "if manipulations would cause an overall online risk assessment change to RED risk", not ORANGE.
