3. Generic Knowledge and Abilities 1 2 3 4 10 1 2 3 4 7 Categories 3 2 2 3 1 2 2 2 Note: 1. Ensure that at least two topics from every applicable K/A 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 ATier Totals@ in each K/A 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 identified on 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 K/A 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 K/As 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 K/A categories.

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

8. On the following pages, enter the K/A 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; if fuel handling equipment is sampled in other than Category A2 or G* on the SRO-only exam, enter it on the left side of Column A2 for Tier 2, Group 2 (Note #1 does not apply). Use duplicate pages for RO and SRO-only exams.
9. For Tier 3, select topics from Section 2 of the K/A catalog, and enter the K/A numbers, descriptions, IRs, and point totals

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

SCENARIO

SUMMARY

The plant is operating at 100% power with A SLC pump and the 1A CRD pump tagged out when the crew assumes the shift.

Power is reduced in anticipation of a control rod exchange. Following the power reduction the crew performs a swap of the operating Service Water Pumps. After the SW pumps are swapped the D SW Pump trips on overload requiring the CRS to declare one loop SW inop per T.S. 3.7.2.

After the T.S. call is made the operating Battery Room Fan Fails requiring the alternate to be started and the CRS to address the TRM.

After the Battery Room Ventilation is restored a burst of corrosion products in the CRD suction piping system clogs the in-service discharge filter. The crew places the opposite filter in service and restores CRD system flow. Some debris carries over to the RR pump seals and causes initially the A RR pump #1 seal to fail. The crew responds per 2.4RR. After the initial actions have been taken both seals catastrophically fail. The reactor scrams on high DW pressure and the turbine trips.

When the crew isolates the RR loop the transient causes a preexisting flaw in the RR pipe to fail resulting in a large RR pump discharge line break that is not isolable. The Startup Transformer then locks out and the emergency transformer picks up only 4160 1F. The CS and RHR pumps powered from 4160 1F automatically start but the CS injection fails to automatically open and must be manually opened. The leak is large enough so that RHR alone has insufficient capacity to refill the RPV and the RHR valve must be opened to restore level.

The scenario ends when RPV level is being maintained 3" to 54", and an RHR HX is in service.

CREW CRITICAL TASKS The crew shall restore 41601F to service to provide containment and core cooling.

The crew shall align CS injection valve to restore and maintain reactor water level greater than TAF.

The plant is operating at 80% power near the end of the fuel cycle with 1A SLC pump out of service. One of the operating CW pumps trips. The crew responds and starts additional pump and enters 2.4VAC.

After idle CW pump is running a maintenance activity breaks a drain nipple off the discharge side of A loop RHR.

The crew responds per EOP 5A and isolates Aux Condensate to the affected loop. When the plant is stable, APRM C fails upscale and causes a half scram. The crew addresses Technical Specifications for the failure and bypasses the affected APRM and resets the half scram.

A DEH failure then occurs resulting in a maximum signal for the turbine control valves. Reactor pressure decreases and the group 1 isolation failures. Only prompt action by the crew to scram the reactor and/or close the MSIVs prevents exceeding a reactor safety limit.

The transient causes a preexisting flaw at an SRV weld to fail resulting in a steam leak directly to the drywell atmosphere. The stress from the steam flow and condensation causes a corroded weld an a downcomer to fail.

This allows the steam to discharge to torus atmosphere. This is a failure of the pressure suppression function of containment. Containment pressure rises rapidly. The crew initiates drywell sprays and initially controls drywell pressure. After the sprays are in service and drywell pressure decreases a malfunction occurs in the control circuit for spray valve control that results in a closure of the RHR drywell spray valve.

Drywell pressure increases eventually requiring the crew to emergency depressurize the reactor vessel when drywell pressure approaches the Pressure Suppression Pressure limit.

The scenario ends when the reactor vessel is depressurized and reactor water level is being controlled 3 to 54.

CREW CRITICAL TASKS The crew shall scram the reactor before reactor pressure safety limit is exceeded.

The crew shall close the MSIVs to prevent exceeding a 100°F/hr cooldown rate.

The crew shall emergency depressurize the RPV when PSP is exceeded or shall rapidly depressurize the RPV to prevent exceeding PSP.
