ES-301 ADMINISTRATIVE TOPICS OUTLINE FORM ES-301-1 Facility: Columbia Generating Station Date of examination: November 2006 Examination Level (circle one): RO / SRO Operating test number:
Administrative Topic Type Code* Describe activity to be performed (see Note)
D SRO is given a turnover sheet that states a RX S/U is in progress and then parameters that indicate the reactor is critical. He is cued to determine his next Conduct of Operations action. To successfully complete the JPM he has to realize the Reactor is Critical prior to the ECP and take actions per PPM 3.1.2 which states to: stop control rod withdrawal, the CRS should direct the CRO to drive control rods in the reverse order until all rods are fully inserted; POC approval is required to proceed with further rod withdrawal; Consider the applicability of T.S. 3.1.2. He will fill out an attachment indicating what his next action will be and the basis for that action.
N SRO is cued that during an inspection of the Active Fire System in the Control Room, the 18 Halon systems storage tanks were found to be 85% of full charge Conduct of Operations pressure. He is asked to determine if any compensatory measures are required and if they are, what are they. He will refer to PPM 1.3.10B and determine operability. Per PPM 1.3.10B he is to issue an FPSI permit for the inoperable system. Once this is identified he is handed a blank FPSI permit to fill out.
N The SRO is given a turnover sheet that indicates a Division 1 instrument is OOS.
Equipment Control He is then handed a taggout for a Div 2 piece of equipment. The taggout erroneously pulls a fuse for a non-related Div 2 component that is the opposite division of the Div 1 component already OOS. If approved and this fuse is removed, a full scram would occur. He has to determine if he would sign taggout or not and explain why/why not.
D, S The SRO is given data and is required to enter the data into the QEDPS and print out the form. Then, based on the results of the QEDPS, he is to classify the Radiation Control event.
N, S After Scenario #2, Classify the event and fill out a CNF. The scenario should be classified as a Site Area Emergency per EAL 2.2.S.1 (ATWS with power GT Emergency Plan 5%).
Note: All items (5 total) are required for SROs. RO applicants require only 4 items unless they are retaking only the administrative topics, when all 5 are required.

Administrative Topic Type Code* Describe activity to be performed (see Note)
D The RO is given a turnover sheet that states a RX S/U is in progress and then parameters that indicate the reactor is critical. He has to Conduct of Operations realize the Reactor is Critical or will be critical prior to the ECP and take actions per PPM 3.1.2 which states to: stop control rod withdrawal and notify the CRS. He will fill out an attachment indicating what his next action will be and the basis for that action.
M The RO is given that a startup is in progress and plant data showing current APRM indicated Power and Bypass Valve Positions and told to Conduct of Operations complete step Q31 of PPM 3.1.2 and inform the CRS of the results.
When done he will check the block on the attachment indicating APRM readings are GT power readings extrapolated from BPV position.
N The RO is given a section of OSP-INST-H101 that has 3 out of spec reading entered and not identified as out of spec readings. Candidate is Equipment Control told to verify readings and to submit the surveillance to the CRS for review. He should find the 3 out of spec readings and circle them.
N The RO is given a tagout that requires entry into a contaminated area of the plant to hang. His directions are to sign onto a specific RWP to Radiation Control perform the task. He is to determine if the tagout can be hung. The tagout has no discrepancies. When the RWP is reviewed it is discovered that the RWP does not allow entry into contaminated zones of the plant. The candidate will indicate that the task can not be performed.
Emergency Plan Note: All items (5 total) are required for SROs. RO applicants require only 4 items unless they are retaking only the administrative topics, when all 5 are required.
