PT-505 Turbine First Stage Pressure Transmitter Fails LOW Controlling PZR Level Channel LT-459 fails LOW Turbine Generator Vibrations begin to increase.
After entry into abnormal operating procedure, turbine vibrations will rapidly increase beyond automatic turbine trip setpoint resulting in a turbine trip. The reactor fails to trip automatically when the turbine trips. The crew will have to trip the reactor manually (CT).
The combination of high turbine vibrations and turbine trip causes a catastrophic rupture of the main steam bottle (down stream of MSIVs). All four MSlVs will fail to close when the MSI signal is actuated. Manual actuation of MSI in the control room should be attempted, but will not cause the MSlVs to close.
Upon automatic actuation of Safety Injection from the RCS cooldown, the A Safety Injection pump will not automatically start. Procedure progression will be E-0 3 E-2 ECA-2.1 where the crew will be directed to reduce feed flow to all SGs to 25 gpm to avoid severe challenge to the Integrity CSF (CT).
The motor operator overloads for EFW flow control valve FW-FV-4214A will trip as soon as valve motion is demanded. The operator will be required to utilize FW-FV-4214B to control EFW flow to A SG.

Appendix D Scenario Outline Form ES-D-1 SCENARIO I OVERVIEW The crew will take the shift at 75% with instructions from the SM to reduce power to 50% within the next hour as requested by the dispatcher, After the crew has the shift (prior to placing rods in manual for the downpower), PT-505 fails low. The crew responds in accordance with OS1235.05, Turbine Impulse Pressure PT-505 or PT-506 Instrument Failure. The failure of this instrument will result in inward rod movement if rod control is in AUTO. The RO should place rod control in manual to halt rod insertion. The crew will BYPASS PT-505 and continue with the downpower with SM permission. The US will address TS in accordance with OS1 235.05.
The crew continueswith the power reduction. After the crew reduces power by 3-4%, or at the lead examiners instruction, the controlling PZR level channel, LT-459, fails low. The crew responds in accordance with OS1201.07 PZR Level Instrument Failure. Charging flow will increase and letdown will isolate. The RO is expected to take manual control of the PZR level controller and restore PZR level. The RO will also restore letdown to service. The US will address TS in accordance with OS1201.07.
After letdown is restored and PZR level is stabilized, the main turbine will experience vibration problems. The crew responds in accordance with ON1231.01, Turbine Generator High Vibration. After progressing beyond step I and at the lead examiners instruction, the turbine vibrations will increase very rapidly beyond the automatic turbine trip setpoint resulting in a Turbine Trip. Since the reactor does not automatically trip, the crew must trip the reactor (CT) and enter E-0, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection.
The combination of high turbine vibrations and turbine trip causes a catastrophic rupture of the main steam bottle (down stream of MSIVs). All four MSlVs will fail to close when the MSI signal is actuated. Manual actuation of MSI in the control room will not cause the MSlVs to close. The A Safety Injection pump will not automatically start, and should be manually started as part of E-0, Attachment A actions.
Procedure progression will be E-0 3 E-2, Faulted Steam Generator Isolation a ECA-2.1, Uncontrolled Depressurization of All Steam Generators where the crew will be directed to reduce feed flow to all SGs to 25 gpm (CT) to avoid severe challenge to the Integrity CSF. A component failure will occur as the operator attempts to limit EFW flow to the A S/G. The motor overloads for FW-FV-4214A (Train A EFW throttle valve to A SIG) will actuate and require the operator to utilize FW-FV-4214B (Train B EFW throttle valve to A S/G) to limit EFW to SG A to 25 gprn. When feed flow has been reduced, NSO(s) dispatched to the MSlVs will successfully close MSlVs in the west pipe chase (SG A and 0).
The crew will exit ECA-2.1 returning to E-2. With EFW limited to 25 gpm a RED condition will exist for the HEAT SINK CSF. A note at the beginning of FR-H.1, Response to Loss of Heat Sink states that the procedure should NOT be implemented if feed flow was reduced by operator action. The scenario will be terminated at Lead Examiner discretion.
Simulator Operating Exam - Scenario I The purpose of scenario one is to observe the crew combat various instrument and component failures as well as a Turbine Vibration problem which progresses beyond automatic turbine trip setpoint that fails to result in a reactodturbine trip requiring prompt operator action. The scenario will develop into all S/Gs faulted with several complications.
The crew takes the watch at 75% power with instructions to commence a rapid downpower maneuver to 50% to remove the A MFP from service. Shortly after taking the shift, PT-505 Turbine Impulse Pressure transmitter fails low. This instrument failure will cause rods to insert automatically. The RO is expected to verify plant conditions, stop rod motion, and restore plant conditions to program band. The USshould direct actions in accordance with OS1235.05, Turbine Impulse Pressure PT-505 or PT-506 Instrument Failure.

Commence power decrease in accordance with OS1 000.06, Power Decrease. (Figure 6 provides guidance for >I Ooh/hr rapid downpower)
The first event will take place shortly after the crew assumes the watch and prior to any actions to reduce power so that the first event takes dace while control rods are in AUTO.
After the crew has the watch and on the lead examiners cue, PT-505 transmitter fails. This generates a B7457 ROD MOTION DETECTED and a D4421 TAVE-TREF DEVIATION alarm on the VAS. The sound of rods stepping in should be noted by the crew.
RO may take manual control of rods as a skill of the operator.
He is expected to check that the rod motion is not warranted by high rave or turbine load reduction first.

I&C will be called to troubleshoot the failed instrument. The instrument will be put in BYPASS which will remove input to any controVprotection systems. The I&C personnel will also conduct any tripping of bistables called for by Technical Specification Action Statements.
The crew continues with the power reduction. After the crew reduces power by 3-4%, and when directed by the lead examiner, the controlling PZR level channel, LT-459, fails low. Charging flow will increase and letdown will isolate.
The RO is expected to take manual control of the PZR level controller and restore PZR level. The RO will also restore letdown to service.

When directed by the lead examiner, the main turbine generator vibrations will begin to increase to about 8-1 0 mils requiring entry into ON1231.01, Turbine High Vibrations. Once into the abnormal and beyond step 1, Turbine Vibrations will rapidly increase beyond the turbine trip setpoint causing an automatic turbine trip. However, the reactor will fail to trip, requiring a manual reactor trip (CT).
Immediately following reactor trip, a catastrophic failure of the MS Bottle downstream of MSlVs will occur. MSlV will not be able to close until much later in the scenario when NSOs locally close the A and D MISVs from the west pipe chase. Other complications will occur as follows:

SCtNAHlO 2 OV-W The crew will take the watch at lo-amps on the intermediate range channels. The C PCCW Pump is tagged out for maintenance. The crew is instructed to continue a power increase in accordance with OS1 000.07, Approach to Criticality and OS1000.02, Plant Startup from Hot Standby to Minimum Load.
After the crew assumes the watch, they will continue power ascension in accordance with OS1000.07, Approach to Criticality. Once the lead examiner is satisfied with the reactivity addition, the SM will inform the US that Engineering has determined the Electric EFW Pump to be inoperable. The US should direct P-37A placed in PTL and address TS. He should recognize that a Mode change is not allowed based on these plant conditions.
Once the US has evaluated TS for EFW pump condition and at lead examiners discretion, the B S/G level transmitter, LT-529, fails LOW. The crew should respond to the failure in accordance with OS1 253.03. The high input to the feed control system will cause B S/G feed regulating bypass valves to modulate OPEN, increasing feed flow to B S/G. There is no redundant channel for this level transmitter thus the BOP operator must maintain manual control of S/G B feed regulating bypass valve for the remainder of the startup. The US will verify TS compliance at the discretion of the lead examiner during or following the scenario.
After the US verifies TS compliance or at the lead examiners discretion, the controlling PZR pressure instrument fails high. PZR spray initiates and RCS pressure will decrease rapidly. It is expected that the RO will identify the failed channel and take manual control of the master pressure controller, stabilizing RCS pressure. TS assessment is can be performed during the scenario or immediately following at the Lead Examiners discretion. If the crew is not timely, the plant may trip on low pressure safety injection (low pressure trip blocked by P-7/P-10) which will not adversely affect the scenario.
Whether the crew manually trips the reactor or the reactor automatically trips, A Large Break LOCA will occur with a failure of both containment spray pumps to automatically start. It is a critical task that the crew manually starts at least one containment spray pump prior to step 7 of E-0 (CT).
Following E-0, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection immediate actions, the RCPs should be tripped based on E-0 Operator Action Summary required actions. It should be recognized that the B CCP did not start and the pump should be manually started during E-0 Attachment A actions. The BOP should recognize the SUFP tripped and the Steam Driven EFW PUMP started but MS-V395 closed and P-37A secured post reactor trip, therefore no EFW flow exists. (Electric EFW Pump P-378 previously placed in PTL). Note that at this low power, there is still adequate S/G inventory and S/G heat sink is not an issue during large break LOCA.
Procedure progression following reactor trip is E-0 to E-1, Loss of Reactor or Secondary Coolant to FR-P.1, Response to Imminent Pressurized Thermal Shock Conditions (RED) to FR-Z.1, Response to High Containment Pressure (ORANGE) to E-1 and to ES-1.3, Transfer to Cold Leg Recirculation.
Note that transitions to FR-P.l and FR-Z.l are dependant upon whether plant conditions are met which differ during a low power scenario based on crew progression through procedures. Note that within three minutes of receiving the RWST Lo-Lo level alarm the first three steps of ES-1.3 must be performed. It is a critical task that at least one train of cold leg recirculation be established (CT). Note also that because this is a low power scenario, it is possible depending on how expeditious the crew is to start containment spray, that FRP entry conditions may NOT be met (ie: RCS temperature does may not drop low enough or containment pressure does not remain high enough).
_ I Simulator Operating Exam - Scenario 2 The purpose of scenario two is to observe the crew combat various instrument and component failures during low power plant conditions following a power increase and TS issue which surfaces related to an EFW pump (P-37B) reported to be inoperable. The scenario will develop into a Large Break LOCA with complications requiring the crew to deal with several FRPs.
The crew takes the watch with instructions to continue a power increase from 1 0-8 amps to 3%. C PCCW is danger tagged for maintenance. The S/G B level transmitter, LT-529, fails LOW resulting in S/G B feed regulating bypass valves modulating open, increasing feed to S/G B.

Loop 1 Tc Instrument Fails HIGH Loss of 13.8kV Bus 1 causes a Loss of A & B RCPs with a failure of an automatic reactor trip (CT) and main turbine trip (CT) to occur. Note that although Safety Injection should actuate, ALL Safety Injection pumps will be prevented from manual start (malfunction numbers are not shown since no credit is taken for these failures)
Subsequent to reactor trip, the Reactor Vessel will develop a flange leak. The crew will need to trip the remaining C and D RCPs based on loss of RCS subcooling (CT). Once tripped, the RCS leak will become significantly larger to force the crew into FR-C series procedures. The A CCP will also trip on overcurren t.

SCENARIO 3 OVERVIEW The crew will take the watch with reactor power at 100%. The ASDV for the D Steam Generator (MS-PV-3004) is tagged out of service due to a positioner air leak. TSAS 3.3.3.5 action c, 3.6.3 action c and 3.7.1.6 action a was entered two hours ago. Expected outage time is 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. The Pressurizer control group heaters are tagged out of service. The control circuit for the heaters has failed to zero output. A troubleshooting plan has been developed and Electrical Maintenance is investigating the problem. The heaters have been out of service for 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br />. Backup Heater Group B is ON.
After the crew assumes the watch, the A Heater Drain Pump will trip on overcurrent. The crew should respond to the pump trip in accordance with OS1 290.02, Response to Condensate or Feedwater Heater System Transient. As a result of this malfunction, the colder water being fed into the steam generators due to loss of preheating will result in a positive reactivity addition and resultant power increase greater than rated thermal. The crew must respond by lowering turbine load.
Once power is restored below rated thermal and the crew has performed the first few steps of OS1290.02 or at the lead examiners discretion, the Loop # I narrow range temperature instrument will fail HIGH. This results in Tavg for Loop # I failing high and an automatic rod insertion. The RO should take manual control of control rods and stop uncontrolled insertion. The crew will respond to the Tc instrument failure in accordance with OS1 201.08, Tavg/Delta T Instrument Failure. The crew should defeat affected loop delta-T and Tavg inputs. The US should verify TS compliance.
At the discretion of the lead examiner, A Loss of 13.8kV Bus 1 will occur. The 13.8 kV Bus 1 UAT breaker trips and the associated RAT breaker fails to fast transfer. Loss of power to Bus 1 results in reactor trip demand due to loss off A & B RCPs and A & C Circulating Water pumps. The reactor fails to trip automatically and the operator is required to manually trip the reactor (CT). On the reactor trip, the automatic Turbine Trip fails. The operator is required to manually trip the main turbine (CT). The crew will enter E-0, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection.
Upon reactor trip, the Reactor Vessel Flange will develop a 275 gpm leak resulting in a SBLOCA. (Note to speed up the scenario and drop subcooling quicker, leak size will be increased greater than 275 gpm) This will result in Safety Injection actuation which will automatically or manually be actuated, however no SI pumps will start nor will manual starts be successful from the control room. Note that safety injection may also occur due to the cooldown associated with the Main Turbine not tripping depending on how expeditious the operators are in tripping the Main Turbine. Also note that all attempts to establish Safety Injection will NOT be successful as the intention is to force the crew into FR-C series procedure(s). The A CCP will trip on overcurrent following reactor trip. Because of the loss of subcooling, the crew is required by the Operator Action Summary of E-0 to trip the remaining running RCPs (C & D) (CT). Once RCPs are tripped the SBLOCA will become significantly larger to drive the crew into inadequate core cooling FRPs.
Procedure progression following reactor trip is E-0 to ES-0.1, Reactor Trip Response and back to E-0 to E-I, Loss of Reactor or Secondary Coolant potentially to ECA-1.1, Loss of Emergency Coolant Recirculation and then to FR-C.2, Response to Degraded Core Cooling (ORANGE) and/or FR-C. 1 (RED) when conditions are met. The scenario will end when the crew recognizes the positive displacement charging pump cannot be started because the mini-flow recirculation valve (CS-V-205) cannot be opened and/or maintenance gives the crew back one of the SI pumps or at the discretion of the lead examiner.
Simulator Operating Exam - Scenario 3 The purpose of scenario three is to observe the crew combat various instrument and component failures, to maintain reactor power less than rated thermal power limit, and eventually to handle an RCS leak which develops into a LOCA with no SI capability forcing the crew into Inadequate Core Cooling FRPs.
The crew takes the watch with instructions to maintain Reactor Power at 100%.
The D ASDV and PZR control bank heaters are tagged out of service. Shortly after taking the watch, the A Heater Drain Pump will trip on overcurrent.

It is possible SI may have actuated based on length of time the turbine operated post reactor trip. If SI actuated or is required, then a transition will not be made to ES-0.1 and the crew will proceed in E-0.
Based on SI not required, transitions to ES-0.1, Reactor Trip Response.
Once in ES-0.1, the developing RCS leak will cause the crew to recognize deteriorating plant conditions requires manual/or automatic actuation of SI and to return to E-0, Step 1. While in ES-0.1, the crew may perform first several steps (Monitor RCS Temperature, Check FW Status, Verfify all Control Rods Inserted, Check PZR Level and Pressure etc.)
US directs transition back to E-0, Step 1 and Immediate Actions are re-performed.
When RCS subcooling drops to less than 40 F, the C and D RCPs should be tripped based on Operator Action Summary for E-0. (CT)
It is possible based on crew timing that the A CCP was not yet tripped because per the scenario, it is not tripped until subcooling decays below RCP trip criteria.
