When the maximum number of operational and maintenance log entries of the BEAR Power Unit gets reached, what will the Digital Control System do?

• A. Overwrite old entries
• B. Stop recording
• C. Create a new log
• D. Notify maintenance

Answer: (A)

When the Digital Control System runs out of space in the BEAR Power Unit’s operational and maintenance log, it uses a rotating, circular logging approach and starts overwriting the oldest entries to make room for new data. This keeps the log continuously up-to-date with the most recent events rather than stopping recording or spawning new log files. Overwriting old entries ensures that the latest operational and maintenance information is preserved for analysis and troubleshooting, while older data beyond the capacity is discarded as needed. Other behaviors like stopping recording or creating a new log aren’t how this fixed-capacity log is designed to work, and while alerting maintenance can occur separately, the automatic action described is to overwrite the oldest entries to maintain continuous logging.
