▶ Show Answer & Explanation
✓ C. Correct. IAW OP-AA-300 Step 4.5 Note, it is acceptable to utilize another SRO to perform the Unit Supervisor Reactivity Management function for significant reactivity changes such as start-up, shutdown, etc. In addition, per Step 4.5.11, during load changes, RCS boron concentration changes, or any other activities that affect reactivity, a second licensed individual should be positioned as such to perform peer checks. Therefore, only an active licensed SRO may fill the position as Reactivity SRO and is NOT allowed to perform peer checks.
✗ A. Incorrect. First part is incorrect. An individual with an Inactive SRO License is not allowed to perform the function as a Reactivity SRO. Second part is correct. Plausible because the SRO may believe that an Inactive SRO License can still perform the action as a Reactivity Manager SRO.
✗ B. Incorrect. First part is incorrect. An individual with an Inactive SRO License is not allowed to perform the function as a Reactivity SRO. Second part is incorrect. Reactivity SRO is not allowed to perform peer checks. Plausible because the SRO may believe that an Inactive SRO License can still perform the action as a Reactivity Manager SRO as well as performing peer checks.
✗ D. Incorrect. First part correct. Second part is incorrect. Reactivity SRO is not allowed to perform peer checks. Plausible because the SRO may believe performing peer checks while acting as the Reactivity Manager SRO is permitted.
