ES-401 BWR Examination Outline Form ES-401-1 Facility: Hope Creek - SRO Only Exam Date of Exam: 11/28/05 I I II Note: 1, Ensure that at least two topics from every applicable WA category are sampled within each tier of the RO and SRO-only outlines (i.e., except for one category in Tier 3 of the SRO-only outline, the 'Tier Totals" in each WA category shall not be less than two).

2. The point total for each group and tier in the proposed outline must match that specified in the table. The final point total for each group and tier may deviate by i 1 from that specified in the table based on NRC revisions. The final RO exam must total 75 points and the SRO-only exam must total 25 points.

3. Systems/evolutions within each group are identifiedon the associated outline; systems or evolutions that do not apply at the facility should be deleted and justified; operationally important, site-specific systems that are not included on the outline should be added. Refer to ES-401, Attachment 2, for guidance regarding the elimination of inappropriate WA statements.

4. Select topics from as many systems and evolutions as possible; sample every system or evolution in the group before selecting a second topic for any system or evolution.

5. Absent a plant-specific priority, only those WAS having an importance rating (IR) of 2.5 or higher shall be selected. Use the RO and SRO ratings for the RO and SRO-only portions, respectively.

6. Select SRO topics for Tiers 1 and 2 from the shaded systems and WA categories.

7. The generic (G) WAS in Tiers 1 and 2 shall be selected from Section 2 of the WA Catalog, but the topics must be relevant to the applicable evolution or system.

8. On the following pages, enter the WA numbers, a brief description of each topic, the topics' importance ratings (IRs) for the applicable license level, and the point totals (#) for each system and category. Enter the group and tier totals for each category in the table above. Use duplicate pages for RO and SRO-only exams.

9. For Tier 3, select topics from Section 2 of the WA catalog, and enter the WA numbers, descriptions, IRs, and point totals

(#) on Form ES-401-3. Limit SRO selections to WAS that are linked to 10 CFR 55.43.

Ensure that at least two topics from every applicable WA category are sampled within each tier of the RO and SRO-only outlines (i.e., except for one category in Tier 3 of the SRO-only outline, the Tier Totals in each WA category shall not be less than two).

2. The point total for each group and tier in the proposed outline must match that specified in the table. The final point total for each group and tier may deviate by *1 from that specified in the table based on NRC revisions. The final RO exam must total 75 points and the SRO-only exam must total 25 points.

3. Systems/evolutions within each group are identiied on the associated outline; systems or evolutions that do not apply at the facility should be deleted and justified; operationally important, site-specificsystems that are not included on the outline should be added. Refer to ES-401, Attachment 2, for guidance regarding the elimination of inappropriate WA statements.

4. Select topics from as many systems and evolutions as possible; sample every system or evolution in the group before selecting a second topic for any system or evolution.

e. Absent a plant-specific priority, only those WAS having an importance rating (IR) of 2.5 or higher shall be selected. Use the RO and SRO ratings for the RO and SRO-only portions, respectively.

6. Select SRO topics for Tiers 1 and 2 from the shaded systems and WA categories.

7. The generic (G) WAS in Tiers 1 and 2 shall be selected from Section 2 of the WA Catalog, but the topics must be relevant to the applicable evolution or system.

8. On the following pages, enter the WA numbers, a brief description of each topic, the topics importance ratings (IRs) for the applicable license level, and the point totals (#) for each system and category.

- Core Spray '6"pump Flow: 1500 gpm

- All other low pressure ECCS pump are NOT in service.

Use the attached curves to determine if Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) requirements are being met.

A There is sufficient NPSH for the "B"Core Spray Pump ONLY.

B There is sufficient NPSH for the 'A" RHR pump ONLY.

There is sufficient NPSH for both the "A" RHR pump and the 'B" Core Spray Pump.

C There is NOT sufficient NPSH for either the 'A" RHR pump or the "6'Core Spray pump.

D Answer A References INPO Question 14383 EOP CAUTION 2 Justification References during Exam EOP Caution 2 Using EOP Caution 2 and realizing that being above the curve is the area of Unacceptable operation:

The limiting temperature for CS pump at 5 psig and 1500 gpm = 232°F The limiting temperature for CS pump at 10 psig and 1500 gpm = 244°F Interpolatingfor 9 psig gives a Temperature limit of -242°F for 9 psig. Since given temperature = 24OoFthis puts the B CS pump in the area of ACCEPTABLE operation.

The limiting temperature for RHR pump at 10 psig is 235"F, since Given temperature is 240°F this puts the pump in the region of UNACCEPTABLE operation.

This makes ONLY Answer A CORRECT.

Which one of the following describes the reason for this action?

Opening the Inboard Main Steamline Drain Valve A maintains the availability of the Main Steamline drain path for reactor vessel pressure control if required.

B ensures as much heat energy as possible is rejected to the Main Condenser to minimize the dynamic loading on Containment.

maintains Containment water level below the SRV solenoids by establishing a drain path from the reactor vessel to the Main Condenser.

The RX RECIRC PUMPS RPS TRIP BYP alarm is cleared when the RECIRC PUMP TRIP A/B SYSTEM DISABLE switch is placed in the NORM position. This defeats the bypass of the RPT trips.

.EOC-RPT trip of Recirculation Pump A and NO trip of Recirculation Pump 6 - Incorrect, both pumps will trip.

.EOC-RPT trip of Recirculation Pump B and NO trip of Recirculation Pump A Incorrect, both pumps will trip.

Instrument Air status is as follows:

00K107, Service Air Compressor - Disassembledfor Compressor work 10K107, Service Air Compressor - Tripped due to Low Lube Oil Pressure - currently being investigated 10K100, Emergency Instrument Air Compressor - Running Instrument Air Pressure - 90 psig stable A SACS/TACS AUTO ISOLATION alarm is received on low pressure.

The Operators take the Mode Switch to shutdown and stablize the plant at a Reactor level of +35"(lowest level = +lo").

Assuming no operator actions are taken and InstrumentAir loads after the trip equal Instrument Air loads before the trip, what effect will this have on the Instrument Air system.

_ _ _ _ - ~ ~

A It will have no effect on the InstrumentAir System, instrument air pressure should be - equal to pre-tripvalue.

B Discharge air temperature will increase until the Air Compressor trips on Discharge Air Temperature high, instrument air pressure will be lower than pre-trip value.

Cooling water supply flow will decrease until the Air Compressor trips on Low Cooling Water Supply pressure, instrument air pressure will be lower than pretrip value.

~~~~ ~

Reactor water level dropping to 10" causes the Air Compressor to trip on Low RPV Level, instrument air pressure will be lower than pre-trip value.

Answer A References NOH01INSAIR-01,INSTRUMENT AIR SYSTEM. P.13-14 Justification References during Exam None A - CORRECT - Since ElAC is running and it is coded by RACS and trips on low RPV level of -38', a loss of TACS should have no effect on EAlC and instrument air pressure should remain constant.

B - INCORRECT - ElAC is cooled by TACS, plausible distractor, if candidate thinks cooling water is isolated to compressor, discharge air temperature would increase and may cause compressor trip.

C - INCORRECT - ElAC is cooled by TACS, plausible distractor, if candidate thinks cooling water is isolated to compressor, cooling water supply flow would decrease and may cause compressor trip.

."This evolution can only be performed after the '6' Recirc pump is placed in service and establishment of forced circulation through the vessel is assured.'- Incorrect- The 'can only' distractor is wrong because the word "only " is used, along with the combination of RHR and Recirc pump combinations would still require the suction valve closed while stoking the valve

,'System Operating procedures for both Recirculationsystem and RHR system prohibit the opening of Recirculation pump discharge valves while RHR is in Shutdown Coding, to prevent potential core bypass flow and vessel stratification.' - Incorrect- The 'SOP' distractor is wrong because the IO allows this condition and applicable exception to the SO guidance

.'As long as RPV vessel level is pegged high on all Narrow Range instruments, Shutdown cooling may be secured and the recirculation discharge valve stroked without potential problem of loss of decay heat removal and vessel stratification." - Incorrect- The 'RPV vessel level' is wrong because minimum level for natural circulation is +80" which is well above the Narrow Range detector capability to read, and does not assure the appropriate level.

Causing a PressurizedThermal Shock to the Reactor Vessel D

Answer A References INPO Question 24595 HC.OP-EO.ZZ-OlOlA,ATWS - RPV CONTROL, P. 18 Justification References during Exam None A - CORRECT - Per EOP lOlA bases - Further, rapid and uncontrolled injection of large amounts of relatively cold, unborated water from low pressure injection systems may occur as RPV pressure decreases to and below the shutoff heads of these pumps. Such an Occurrence would quickly dilute in-core boron concentrationand reduce reactor coolant temperature. When the reactor is not shutdown, or when the shutdown margin is small, sufficient positive reactivity might be added in this way to cause a reactor power excursion large enough to severely damage the core.

B - INCORRECT - ADS initiation would NOT cause flux oscillation but rather a rapid reduction in core power due to voids C - INCORRECT - This may or may NOT be true but it is NOT the reason for inhibiting ADS D INCORRECT - While an ADS actuation will cause a Thermal Shock to the vessel, the vessel will be de-pressurized so you will not have a PTS concern Question Source Mod E] Memory Level 0Comprehension Level Question History:

SUMMARY

New Scenario.

PREPARED BY: M. L. Brown 9/29/05 NRC Operations Examiner DATE FACILITY REVIEWER:

Nuclear Operations Training Supervisor - DATE Hope Creek APPROVED BY:

NRC Chief Examiner DATE

NRC-001 REV-060 Enabling Objectives A. The crew must demonstrate the ability to operate effectively as a team while completing a series of CREW CRITICAL TASKS, which measure the crews ability to safely operate the plant during normal, abnormal, and emergency plant conditions.

(Crew critical tasks within this examination scenario guide are identified with an *.)

A. Withdraw Control Rods until 1 bypass valve is open B. CRD Flow Controller fails downscale in AUTO C. Loss of B MG Set D. Control Rod 22-35 inadvertently scrams (TS)

E. Steam Leak from RCIC piping F. RCIC isolation valves fail to close G. E SRV fails Open The scenario begins with a Reactor Startup in service with IOP-3 completed up to step 5.3.28.

Reactor power is approximately 4%. RClC is being operated for HC.OP-ST.BD-0002, RClC Pump Valve and Flow Test and should be completed within the next hour. 1BP116 EHC pump is tagged out for maintenance and will be out of service until a new pressure compensator arrives tomorrow. After the operators have raised power using the control rods, the CRD flow controller fails downscale in AUTO and the operators are forced to take MANUAL control of the flow controller. Once the operators have stabilized the plant, the B MG Set trips causing a ?hscram and RWCU isolation. The operators will have to restore power to the B RPS from the alternate source. Once power has been restored to the B RPS bus, Control Rod 22-35 inadvertently partially scrams (stops at position 12) and its Accumulator is INOP. With Reactor Pressure < 900 psig and Charging Header pressure < 940 psig, this will require a Scram. After the crew has stabilized from the scram, a steam leak develops on RCIC, RClC isolation valves fail to close causing RClC room temperature to increase. Crew should enter EOP-103 based on high room temperature and place FRVS in service and attempt to shutdown RCIC. Crew should discover that the RClC isolation valves cant be closed. Crew should scram the reactor based upon RClC room temperature approaching safe operating limit and enter EOP-101. When temperature exceeds Max Safe Operation limit in 2 areas, crew should enter EOP-202, Emergency Depressurization. When the crew goes to Emergency Depressurize, E ADS valve will not open, requiring the BOP to open another SRV. Scenario will end after 5 SRVs have been opened.

The reactor must be depressurized to place it in its lowest energy state due to the potential for multiple inoperable safety systems, to reduce the driving head for the leak, and to reject decay heat to the suppression pool rather than the Reactor Building.

The term Crew actuates five SRVs takes into account the F013D failure, which is already inserted. Two minutes is deemed adequate time to recognize the condition and implement EOP-202 and AB.ZZ-0001 Att.

A4.01 SRVs RO 4.4 SRO 4.4 The Minimum Number of SRVs required for Emergency Depressurization (MNSRED) is five. The MNSRED is utilized to assure the RPV will depressurize and remain depressurized when Emergency Depressurization is required. When the PSV-F013D fails to open, the Crew needs to open an additional SRV to achieve MNSRED. This is directed by both EOP-202 and AB.ZZ-0001. SRVs are designed to open with a minimum differential pressure of 50 psid between the reactor vessel and the suppression chamber. Below this d/p, they may not open. If the Crew does not attemp; to open the fifth SRV before this minimum d/p is lost, they cannot validate its operation. This would prevent them from detecting the failure and pursuing the use of the Alternate Depressurization Systems in EOP-202.

SELF-CHECK NRC- 001 REVIEWER:

1. The scenario has clearly stated objectives in the scenario.

2. The initial conditions are realistic, equipment and/or Instrumentation may be out of service, but it does not cue crew into expected events.

3. Each event description consists of 0 The point in the scenario when it is to be initiated 0 The malfunction(s) that are entered to initiate the event 0 The symptomskues that will be visible to the crew 0 The expected operator actions (by shift position)

The event termination point

4. The use of non-mechanistic failures (e.g. pipe break) should be limited to one or a credible preceding event has occurred.

5. The events are valid with regard to physics and thermodynamics.

6. Sequencinghiming of events is reasonable (e.g. the crew has time to respond to the malfunctions in an appropriate time frame and implements procedures and/or corrective actions).

7 . Sequencindtiming of events is reasonable, and allows for the examination team to obtain complete evaluation results commensurate with the scenario objectives.

8. If time compression techniques are used, scenario summary clearly so indicates.

9. The simulator modeling is not altered.

10. All crew competencies can be evaluated.

11. Appropriate reference materials are available (SOERs, LERs, etc.)

NRC-001 REV-060 Enabling Objectives A. The crew must demonstrate the ability to operate effectively as a team while completing a series of CREW CRITICAL TASKS, which measure the crew's ability to safely operate the plant during normal, abnormal, and emergency plant conditions.

(Crew critical tasks within this examination scenario guide are identified with an *.")

A. Perform Core Spray Full Flow test B. Power increase using Recirc Flow C. Inadvertent HPCI initiation D. FRVS fails to start E. 10B130 trips F. EHC pump trips, Electrical ATWS G. SRV fails OPEN, Broken SRV tailpipe H. Small Break LOCA, PSP function lost I. RHR Spray Logic Failure The plant is operating at 80% power, Middle Of Cycle with SLC Pump AP-208 tagged out for a motor replacement and is expected back within 48 hours5.555556e-4 days 0.0133 hours 7.936508e-5 weeks 1.8264e-5 months . Core Spray Loop A operability PT will be performed. When the test return valve is opened, the loop flow instrumentation will fail to respond. Core Spray A should be declared Inoperable.

When power has been increased by -lo%, HPCl will inadvertently initiate. The crew will respond per AB.RPV-0001, Reactor Power, and terminate HPCl operation. A scram on high flux may occur if HPCl is not terminated. HPCl will be declared Inoperable and Tech Specs addressed.

- Talk to Steve ** Power to the Main Stack Rad Monitor will fail. The power loss results in Group 6 isolation, Secondary Containment Isolation but FRVS fails to auto start. The crew must manually start FRVS to maintain Secondary Containment integrity.

480VAC Unit Substation 1OB130 will trip. This results in loss of power to the running Stator Cooling pump. The standby pump fails to auto start and must be manually started to prevent a turbine trip. The Unit Substation loss also results in a loss of Recirc Pump 28 due to oil pump B2 tripping and oil Pump B3 fails to start automatically or manually. Recirc MG Set 2B oil pressure drops below the trip setpoint but fails to trip. The MG set must be manually tripped. This places the plant in Region B - Immediate Exit region of the power to flow map. Recirculation flow must be increased or control rods must be inserted to exit Region B.

The EHC pressure regulator will fail resulting in opening of Turbine Control and Bypass valves to the Max Combined Flow limit (1 10%). Steam line pressure drops to the MSlV isolation setpoint and the MSlVs close. The reactor fails to auto scram and manual scram also will fail. RRCS will fail to auto initiate on high RPV pressure. The rods can be inserted by manually initiating RRCS.

NRC-001 Page 2 of 21 Rev.: 060

NRC-001 REV-060 RPV pressure will spike high due to the MSlV closure and RPS failure. SRVs will lift on high pressure. SRV F will fail to reclose when rods are inserted and RPV pressure lowers. The tail pipe on SRV F will rupture in the suppression chamber airspace shortly after the valve sticks open resulting in rapidly rising containment pressure and temperature.

Feed flow is lost to the RPV due to MSlV closure. HPCl may be manually started to restore RPV level but will fail shortly after being started.

If containment spray is attempted the B RHR Spray logic will fail and F016A will not OPEN.

Suppression chamber pressure will rise above the safe value for Pressure Suppression Pressure requiring emergency depressurization. Low pressure ECCS and Condensate must be operated during depressurization to prevent uncontrolled injection.

When the reactor has been depressurized, the containment spray will be repaired and can be placed in service then the scenario can be terminated requiring the BOP to open another SRV.

Scenario will end after 5 SRVs have been opened.

Before Reactor Water Level reaches LVL I , the Crew manually actuates RPS and/or ARI to shutdown the reactor.

WA 295037 SCRAM Condition Present and Reactor Power Above APRM Downscale or Unknown EAl. Ability to operate and/or monitor the following as they apply to SCRAM CONDITION PRESENT AND REACTOR POWER ABOVE APRM DOWNSCALE OR UNKNOWN:

EA1.O1 Reactor Protection System RO 4.6 SRO 4.6 EA1.03 ARI/RPT/ATWS RO 4.1 SRO 4.1 RPS has failed to scram the reactor both manually, and automatically. The RPV LVL 3 scram setpoint was chosen to ensure there is adequate protection for the fuel during transient analyses associated with coolant inventory decrease events. With no feedwater being supplied to the vessel and the reactor at power, water level will rapidly lower until the reactor is shutdown and steaming is reduced to decay heat levels.

Additionally, ARI is failed and will not automatically scram the reactor at -38. Operator action is required to shutdown the reactor. The need to manually initiate ARI or RPS by LVL 1 was chosen because it represents an acceptable level of performance considering the rate of RPV water level reduction in this scenario and the time required to implement the scram hard card. Also, if the plant is not scrammed by LVL 1, the subsequent shrink will reduce level to below TAF.

Crew actuatescfive SRVs before Suppression Chamber pressure exceeds 33 psig.

WA 295024 High Drywell Pressure EA2 Ability to determine and/or interpret the following as they apply to HIGH DRYWELL PRESSURE:

EA2.04 Suppression chamber pressure RO 3.9 SRO 3.9 WA 223001 Primary Containment Systems and Auxiliaries A2.Ability to (a) predict the impacts of the following on the PRIMARY CONTAINMENT SYSTEM AND AUXILIARIES; and (b) based on those predictions, use procedures to correct, control, or mitigate the consequences of those abnormal conditions of operations:

A2.02 Steam bypass of the suppressions pool RO 3.9 SRO 4.1 If suppression chamber pressure cannot be maintained below the pressure suppression pressure, EOPs direct actions to emergency depressurize the reactor. A LOCA condition while in the action required region of the Pressure Suppression Pressure curve, could cause design containment limits to be exceeded.

Based upon the rate of pressure increase in this scenario, the upper limit of 33 psig is established to give the operator time to evaluate conditions and direct emergency depressurization actions.

Operators will reduce recirc pump speed in an attempt to clear the vibration alarm. Vibration will continue to increase and cause the operators to trip the BRecirc pump on high vibration. After tripping the Recirc pump the operators will have to insert rods to exit Region 2 on the Power flow map. As rods are being inserted a Loss of Offsite power occurs with the A EDG output breaker failing to close. In addition, HPCl and RClC fail to auto start. The loss of offsite power will cause a scram to occur, shortly after the scram occurs a small recirc suction pipe leak occurs, the operators will be forced to either restart HPCl and feed the reactor or Emergency Depressurize.

The scenario will end once the operators either stabilize level or Emergency Depressurize.

CREW secures B Reactor Recirc p u m p within two minutes of Vibration reaching the DANGER limit IAW guidance in AB.RPV-0003..

WA 202001 Recirculation System A2 Ability to (a) predict the impacts of the following on the RECIRCULATION SYSTEM ;and (b) based on those predictions, use procedures to correct, control, or mitigate the consequences of those abnormal conditions or operations:

A2.17 Loss of seal cooling water RO 3.1 SRO 3.2 This action is listed as a Retainment Override in the Abnormal Procedure, a time limit of 2 minutes is deemed adequate for the operator to recognize the condition and take the appropriate action.. The basis of this action is to prevent pump damage and potential piping damage due to vibration. Damage to the pump casing is a degradation of a Reactor Coolant System boundary.

2.

Before RPV water level reaches -161 and without Emergency Depressurizing, CREW manually places HPCI in service and injects with HPCI to maintain Reactor water level above -1 61.

WA 206000 High Pressure Coolant Injection System A3 Ability to monitor the operations of the HIGH PRESSURE COOLANT INJECTION SYSTEM including:

A3.03 System lineup RO 3.9 SRO 3.8 WA 295031 Reactor Low Water Level EA1. Ability to operate and/or monitor the following as they apply to REACTOR LOW WATER LEVEL:

EA1.02 High Pressure Coolant Injection RO: 4.5 SRO 4.5 HPCI has failed to automatically start. HPCI is the only High Pressure injection system available with adequate capacity to maintain RPV water level. If RPV water level is allowed to drop below -161, the fuel will be uncovered and the fuel cladding will be challenged. This would escalate the event to a General Emergency. HC.OP-AB.ZZ-0001 Attachment 6 has the necessary guidance to step the operator through manually initiating HPCI in the injection mode. The rate of level drop in this scenario is very slow and provides more than adequate time to execute the guidance an restore RPV level with HPCI.

NRC EXAMINATION SCENARIO GUIDE REVIEWNALIDATION Note: This form is used as guidance for an examination team to conduct a review for the proposed exam scenario(s). Attach a separate copy of this form to each scenario reviewed.

SELF-CHECK NRC- 002 REVIEWER:

1. The scenario has clearly stated objectives in the scenario.

2. The initial conditions are realistic, equipment and/or Instrumentation may be out of service, but it does not cue crew into expected events.

3. Each event description consists of:

0 The point in the scenario when it is to be initiated 0 The malfunction(s) that are entered to initiate the event 0 The symptomskues that will be visible to the crew The expected operator actions (by shift position) 0 The event termination point

4. The use of non-mechanistic failures (e.g. pipe break) should be limited to one or a credible preceding event has occurred.

5. The events are valid with regard to physics and thermodynamics.

6. Sequencingltiming of events is reasonable (e.g. the crew has time to respond to the malfunctions in an appropriate time frame and implements procedures and/or corrective actions).

7. Sequencingltiming of events is reasonable, and allows for the examination team to obtain complete evaluation results commensurate with the scenario objectives.

8. If time compression techniques are used, scenario summary clearly so indicates.

9. The simulator modeling is not altered.

10. All crew competencies can be evaluated.

11. Appropriate reference materials are available (SOERs, LERs, etc.)

12. If the sampling plan indicates that the scenario was used for training during the requalification cycle, evaluate the need to modify or replace the scenario.

13. Proper critical task methodology used IAW NRC procedures.
