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 Tier 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 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 KAs 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 (IR) 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 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 10CFR55.43

SUMMARY
NRC #I The crew will assume the shift and maintain steady-state conditions per SO23-5-1.7, Power Operations.
The scenario will begin with the crew receiving a security warning from the Security Shift Commander and will enter Abnormal Operating Instruction (AOI) SO23-13-25, Operator Actions During Security Events. The crew will be required to perform security actions for site specific events.
When the security event actions are complete, Charging Pump P-I 91 will trip and be addressed per the Annunciator Response Procedures (ARPs) and SO23-3-2.1, Chemical and Volume Control System Operations. The CRS will evaluate Technical Specifications.
After the crew has stabilized the plant, a Pressurizer Level instrument fails high and will require crew actions per the ARPs and AOI SO23-13-27, Pressurizer Pressure and Level Malfunction.
The CRS will evaluate Technical Specifications.
When the plant is stable, the VCT Level Transmitter (LT-227) will fail low. The crew will secure Charging and Letdown per the ARPs and SO23-3-2.1, CVCS Charging and Letdown Operations.
The Control Operator will manually operate the Charging Pumps to control Pressurizer level.
When plant conditions are stable, a Condensate Pump will trip and the standby pump will fail to auto start. The crew will respond per the Annunciator Response Procedures.
The major event begins with a loss of Bus 2A03 and total loss of vacuum. This will require a plant trip due to a loss of Main Feedwater flow. The crew will enter SO23-12-1, Standard Post Trip Actions. This is followed by a total loss of feedwater that will necessitate entry into S023 6, Loss of Feedwater. The ACO will be required to manually transfer Bus 2A07 during post-trip SPTAs.
Event termination will occur when Bus 2A07 power is restored and the Steam Generators are depressurized sufficiently to allow the remaining Condensate Pumps to supply feedwater flow.

SUMMARY
NRC #2 The crew will assume the watch maintaining steady state power per SO23-5-1.7, Power Operations.
When turnover is complete a Train A Component Cooling Water header rupture is initiated. The crew will respond per Abnormal Operating Instruction (AOI) SO23-13-7, Loss of Component Cooling Water (CCW) / Saltwater Cooling (SWC). The crew will align SWC 4 CCW Train B per pump configuration requirements. The ruptured header will be removed from service. The CRS will evaluate Technical Specifications.
When the CCW and SWC systems are properly aligned, a Thot instrument fails high and will require crew actions per the Annunciator Response Procedures (ARPs) and AOI SO23-13-27, Pressurizer Pressure and Level Malfunction.
With the plant in a stable condition, a Steam Generator tube leak will commence on E088. The CRS will be required to evaluate Technical Specifications and enter AOI SO23-13-14, Reactor Coolant System Leak. The CRS will determine that a rapid plant shutdown per the AOI is required.
When the crew has demonstrated adequate control of the downpower, the leak size will increase to that of a SGTR and be accompanied by an ATWS. The crew will respond to the ATWS by opening breakers to Buses 615 and B16. Five minutes later, an ESDE inside Containment will occur. The crew performs SO23-12-1, Standard Post Trip Actions and diagnoses an ESDE and a SGTR and transitions to SO23-12-9, Functional Recovery.
The scenario is terminated when RCS temperature and pressure are stabilized while in the Functional Recovery procedure and associated Floating Steps.

SUMMARY
NRC #3 The crew will assume the watch at approximately 30% power with a dilution in progress. The crew will raise power per SO23-5-1.7, Power Operations.
When the power change is underway, the Pressurizer Spray Valve will fail 80% open. Crew will respond and stabilize primary plant using Annunciator Response Procedures (ARPs) and Abnormal Operating Instruction (AOI) SO23-13-27, Pressurizer Pressure and Level Malfunction.
The CRS will evaluate Technical Specifications.
When plant conditions are stable, TPCW Pump P-120 will trip, and TPCW Pump P-I 19 fails to automatically start. The ACO must manually start TPCW Pump P-I 19 in accordance with Annunciator Response Procedures to prevent a potential trip on high stator cooling water temperature.
A vital bus failure will cause the crew to enter A01 SO23-13-18, Loss of Vital Bus. The CRS will evaluate Technical Specifications and the bus will be re-energized from the alternate supply per SO23-6-17, 120 VAC Vital Bus Power Supply System Operation. This is followed by a Full Flow Demineralizer high differential pressure that requires ARP actions on the part of the ACO to prevent loss of feedwater flow.
A Steam Generator Tube Rupture will occur and the crew will trip the plant and respond per SO23-12-1, Standard Post Trip Actions. The crew will then transition to SO23-12-4, Steam Generator Tube Rupture. A loss of Condenser vacuum will require crew actions to reduce RCS temperature using the Atmospheric Dump Valves.
Event termination will occur when Thot is and the Steam Generator is isolated.

SUMMARY
NRC ##4 The crew will assume the watch with the Reactor critical at -3xI 04% power. The crew will raise power using rod withdrawal per SO23-5-1.3.1, Plant Startup from Hot Standby to Minimum Load.
After the crew has demonstrated control of the power change, a Pressurizer Pressure instrument fails high and will require crew actions per the Annunciator Response Procedures (ARPs) and Abnormal Operating Instruction (AOI) SO23-13-27, Pressurizer Pressure and Level Malfunction. The CRS will evaluate Technical Specifications.
After the crew has restored the Pressurizer Pressure instrument, a loss of Non-I E Instrument Bus Q0612 will occur and require crew actions per the ARPs and AOI SO23-13-19, Loss of Non-I E Instrument Buses.
With Letdown restoration in progress, a bus fault and lockout will occur on Bus 2A04. The crew will refer to AOI SO23-I 3-26, Loss of Power to an AC Bus. The CRS will evaluate Technical Specifications.
Once the decision to shutdown is made a Loss of Offsite Power will occur. The Reactor will trip and the crew will perform SO23-12-1, Standard Post Trip Actions. EDG 2G003 will trip. Four rods remain stuck out of the core requiring manual boration alignment on the part of the CO in preparation for power restoration.
The crew diagnoses a loss of reactivity control due to a Station Blackout and enters SO23-12-9, Functional Recovery. The success path will require cross-tying power with Unit 3 and establishing a boration flowpath.
The scenario is terminated when Bus 2A06 is energized and boration at greater than 40 gpm is established.
