River Bend September 2004 RO/SRO License Exam Outline Change Justifications SIMULATOR SCENARIOS
- 1. In Scenario 1 (SIS-19) Event 1, replaced shifting Reactor Recirculation Pumps to Fast Speed with raising power with Recirc Flow Control Valves. During validation the pump shift was done twice and took ~30 minutes each time. The replacement evolution, raising power with flow, can be done without ramp restrictions at this power level and can be complete the required reactivity manipulation (>5% change in power) in about 8 minutes.
- 2. In Scenario 1 (SIS-19), changed the CRD Pump Trip Event 2 to the B pump to make the operating pump in this scenario consistent with the other two scenarios.
This had no effect on the UO actions for the trip or the outcome of the scenario.
- 3. In Scenario 1 (SIS-19), changed Event 3, APRM Flow Reference Failure Downscale to Control Rod Drifting out. During validation, the rod line at which the scenario began was determined to be too high for pump shift. At a more appropriate lower rod line, the APRM Flow Reference Failure no longer resulted in a half scram, which minimized the action for the ATC. The Control Rod Drifting out provides sufficient verifiable actions to evaluate the RO in the ATC position for a required component malfunction.
- 4. In Scenario 1 (SIS-19), changed Event 7, SLC Pump failure to RCIC Flow Controller failure. During validation, the crew quickly lowered RPV water level as part of EOP-0001A action to prevent flux instability. At the lower rod line established for scenario initial conditions, SRV operation was not enough to raise suppression pool temperature to require SLC injection. With the EOP-0001A, Level/Power Control requirement to lower level to -56 inches, RCIC will auto initiate if the crew does not initiate it earlier. This malfunction will produce the component malfunction actions for the Unit Operator RO instead of the SLC pump failure.
- 5. During the NRC prep week, it was determined that the scenario originally submitted as Scenario 3 (backup scenario SIS-21) would be better suited for the exam and designated it Scenario 2. Originally submitted Scenario 2 (SIS-20) is now designated Scenario 3 (Backup). References to changes in Scenario 2 below are for originally submitted Scenario 3 and references to changes in Scenario 3 are for originally submitted Scenario 2.
- 6. In Scenario 2 (SIS-21), changed Event 4 to provide the Unit Operator RO sufficient verifiable actions. The Level transmitter failure provided insufficient action for evaluation.

River Bend September 2004 RO/SRO License Exam Outline Change Justifications
- 7. In Scenario 2 (SIS-21), moved APRM Flow Reference Failure Downscale from Scenario 1 to this scenario as Event 3. The rod line at 100% results in a half scram from this malfunction. The malfunction involves the UO with backpanel actions and provides more verifiable actions for the ATC than the APRM failure downscale in the original outline submitted.
- 8. In Scenario 2 (SIS-21), Event 4 in the original outline identified lowering power as a critical task to avoid a low RPV level scram from a low suction pressure trip of one of the operating Reactor Feed Pumps. During validation, it was determined this would not be a critical task. If reactor power was not lowered before securing the Heater Drain Pump, a Recirculation flow control valve runback following the RFP trip maintained level above the low RPV level scram.
Added the loss of Turbine Seal Steam malfunction as new Event 4 to provide another component failure for UO RO with verifiable actions and a critical task to recover seal steam to prevent a loss of vacuum Turbine Trip and scram.
- 9. In Scenario 3 (SIS-20) Event 4, the specific Reactor Feedwater Pump with the TPCCW malfunction was changed to FWS-P1A to set up a loss of all RFPs in Event 5.
- 10. In Scenario 3 (SIS-20) on the original outline Event 7, the action to address the turbine bypass valve failure was determined to not be a critical task since the leak would reduce pressure rapidly enough to exceed the cooldown rate even if the MSIVs were closed. Replaced the Turbine Bypass Valve malfunction with a failure of the RPS to scram to create a replacement critical task for the ATC to initiate Alternate Rod Insertion (ARI) to insert all control rods.
- 11. In Scenario 3 (SIS-20) added a loss of NPS SWG1B to Event 5 creating a loss of normal Feedwater to ensure the UO initiation of HPCS is a critical task.
- 12. In Scenario 3 (SIS-20) changed Turbine failure malfunction to Turbine governor fails low to close Turbine Control Valves slower allowing the operators a more reasonable opportunity to determine that a manual scram is required and to attempt the scram and initiate ARI for critical task completion. With Turbine Speed signal failure the crew during prep week failed to get ARI initiated before it was automatically initiated by high reactor pressure.

River Bend September 2004 RO/SRO License Exam Outline Change Justifications JOB PERFORMANCE MEASURES
- 1. The topic and KAs for Control Room Systems JPM Number 5 were changed to accommodate changing the JPM. The original outline proposed modifying a bank JPM to remove fuses in the Main Control Room backpanels as part of the actions for closing a Stuck Open SRV (River Bend Abnormal Operating Procedure AOP-0035). During validation, it was determined that while modification of the JPM added a step to manipulate a control switch, the JPM actually had only one critical step - remove the second set of fuses. The JPM was replaced with one directly from the bank in the same Safety Function to install jumpers per EOP Enclosure 5 to provide a JPM with a sufficient number of critical steps. As a result the KA statement was changed to match the JPM.
- 2. The topic and KA for SRO Admin JPM Number 1 was changed because the original JPM concept could not be developed into a sufficiently challenging JPM.
The originally proposed JPM topic was replaced with a newly developed JPM titled Determine Alternate Methods of Decay Heat Removal. This task has more safety significance than the originally proposed task and involves the use of a graph and tables.
- 3. Two of the Control Room Systems JPMs, Number 3 and Number 8 (for ROs only) proposed as being taken directly from the bank, were instead, significantly modified. JPM Number 3 was modified since JPM Number 5 is now being taken directly from the bank as discussed in Item 1 above. The JPM Number 8 was modified to add a critical step.
- 4. The specific descriptions of some of the JPMs in the Admin and Systems Walkthrough portion of the exam outlines were modified to reflect the titles of newly developed or modified JPMs.
During NRC review of JPMs, Control Room Systems JPM, CRS-08, Reset Reactor Recirc Flow Control Valve Runback, was deemed too simple and rejected. Replaced with Backup JPM No. 1, Perform Control Rod Operability Check.

River Bend September 2004 RO/SRO License Exam Outline Change Justifications WRITTEN EXAM The following changes were made to the RO and SRO written exam outlines and, if the change involved a KA rejection, it was included on the ES-401-4, Record of Reject K/As.
- 1. RO Exam Tier 1/Group 1 KA 295016 AA2.06 had the wrong K/A Topic and Importance Rating. Corrected both in the final outline.
- 2. RO Exam Tier 2/Group 1 KA 215005, K3.06 Not a feature of River Bend. A loss or malfunction of APRMs or LPRMs does not affect the IRMs.
Randomly selected replacement KA statement, K3.08. Rejected this KA on the basis of it being beyond the scope of RO responsibilities at River Bend to determine the effect that an LPRM failure will have on core thermal calculations. No River Bend RO task supports requiring this knowledge. The ROs responsibility at River Bend is limited to the ability to identify thermal limit values calculated by the Core Monitoring System that require LCO entry. This ability is evaluated in the RO ADMIN - 1 JPM, RJPM-OPS-ADM-R01.
Randomly selected replacement KA statement, K3.05.
- 3. RO Exam Tier 2/Group 1 KA 262002, K1.11 All control room recorders at River Bend are fed from UPS power supplies.
Developed exam item QID 951 and submitted with exam materials 7/23/04 for this topic with AOP handout required for exam. Question was rejected as too simple. Determined that within the job scope of RO the KA would not allow a sufficiently discriminating question to be developed.
Randomly selected replacement KA statement, K1.01
- 4. RO Exam Tier 2/Group 1 KA 300000, K6.11 RO IR is 2.3 (<2.5) with no site-specific priority justification.
Randomly selected replacement KA statement, K6.04 and rejected this KA to avoid double jeopardy with exam item for KA 295019 A1.04. Service Air Refusal valve is one of two auto valves in air systems. In order to develop a sufficiently discriminating question for either KA requires using both automatic valves in the question.
