SCENARIO OVERVIEW The unit is at full power, steady state, equilibrium xenon, MOL.

The scenario begins with the operating crew draining the PRT per BOP RY-4 this action will account for the normal evolution. The reactivity requirement will be fulfilled with a unit ramp from 100% Rx power down to 95% Rx power in preparation for a Main Feedwater Pump swap.

Once the power change has been completed Instrument Bus 111 will de-energize and BOA ELEC-2, Loss of an Instrument Bus will be entered. The instr. bus is damaged will remain de-energized. Depending on the cause of the failure enter the applicable Tech Spec 3.8.7 & 3.8.9.

After the actions of BOA ELEC-2 are complete, the 1A CV pump trips. The crew should start the 1B CV pump per BAR 1-9-A3 and take actions to stabilize the plant. Technical Specification 3.5.2 and TRM 3.1.d apply.

S/G Pressure Channel 1PT-525 fails low. The crew enters BOA INST-2, the BOP needs to take manual control of the 1B Feed Reg Valve and manual control of the Feedwater P controller to restore adequate feedwater flow to all S/Gs. The applicable Tech Spec for this failure is 3.3.2. Crew will not be required to trip bi-stables since bi-stable switches are not modeled.

Master Pressurizer Pressure Controller 1PK-455A output fails high. PORV 1RY455A does not open due to the previous Instrument Bus failure. However, Pressurizer Spray valves fully open and Pzr pressure begins to drop. The RO takes manual control of the Master Pressurizer Pressure controller and restores Pzr Pressure.

The applicable Tech Specs are 3.3.1, 3.3.2, & 3.3.4.

The 1A Main Steam Line experiences a large break. Containment temperature and pressure increase and Main Steam Line Pressure decreases to the SI setpoint. 1BEP-0, Response to Reactor Trip of Safety Injection is entered. The Reactor automatically trips on the SI signal but the Turbine fails to trip automatically following the Reactor trip. A Manual Turbine trip is required to be actuated. Due to the Instrument Bus failure all A train ESF loads fail to start on the SI signal. A Train ESF loads must be manually started.

The A & D MSIVs fail to automatically or manually close causing both S/Gs to blow down. Upon completion of 1BEP-0 the crew transitions to 1BEP-2, Faulted S/G to isolate the faulted S/Gs then transitions to 1BEP-1 Loss of Reactor or Secondary Coolant, and then to 1BEP ES-1.1, SI Termination, completion criteria is stopping the RH pumps in 1BEP ES-1.1.

SCENARIO OVERVIEW The unit is at 100% Rx power, steady state, equilibrium xenon, MOL.

The scenario begins with the operating crew preparing to ramp from 100% Rx Pwr to 95% Rx Pwr when Steam Dump valve 1MS004A fully opens. This pushes Rx Pwr above 100% and required the unit to be ramped down and the valve isolated.

Once 1MS004A has been isolated, the ramp to 95% can commence.

After enough of the actions to ramp to 95% have been completed or the ramp to 95% has been completed the Loop 2 Thot Channel will fail High. This failure will require the crew to place the Control Rods into Manual to stop outward rod motion. The crew enters 1BOA INST-2, stablizes the plant and trips the associated bistable. The applicable Tech Spec for this failure is 3.3.1. Crew will not be required to trip bi-stables since bi-stable switches are not modeled.

Following initiation of bistable tripping for the Thot Channel failure 0PR31J will go into High Rad Alarm without actuating the Emergency Make-Up Mode of Operation for the 0A VC Train. The crew will need to recognize the appropriate system response did not occur and will have to manually align the 0A VC Train into the Emergency Make-Up Mode.

The next failure to occur will be for the Main Generator Voltage Regulator output to fail high. This will result in increased excitation of the Main Generator which results in increased MVAR output and thus increased current flowing through the generator. The crew should recognize the failure respond to the applicable BAR procedures switch the voltage regulator to OFF and lower generator output to within limits.

The major failure for this scenario will be a seismic event that causes a Large Break LOCA. During 1BEP-0 it will be discovered that the 1B CS Train doesnt align properly. The crew must take manual actions to correctly align the 1B CS Train into operation.

When RWST water level reaches 49% the 1B RH Pp will trip due to a C overcurrent condition. When RWST water level reaches 46% the 1SI8811A Cnmt Sump Isolation Valve will not open. This results in a Loss of Emergency Recirculation capability and thus 1BCA-1.1 needs to be enetered from 1BEP ES-1.3.

SCENARIO OVERVIEW The unit is at 100% Rx power, steady state, equilibrium xenon, MOL.

The scenario begins with the operating crew preparing to start the standby Circulating Water Pump. The crew then starts the 1A CW Pp.

TSO calls and orders an emergency load drop of 100 MW. The crew refers to the load Follow Curve to determine the correct amount of boric acid that they will add during the ramp. The crew will reduce turbine load and control reactor parameters during the load reduction.

After the actions to ramp down 100 MW have been completed the online Letdown Heat Exchanger will develop a tube leak into the CC system. The crew will be alerted to the failure by the CC surge tank hi rad alarm. The crew will implement BOA PRI-6, CC Malfunction procedure to address the failure. The SRO should realize that the crew needs to enter the RCS Leakage Tech Spec 3.4.13 for excessive (> 10 gpm) RCS leakage. Once the crew identifies the online Letdown Heat Exchanger as the problem the crew will swap to the standby Letdown Heat Exchanger and isolate both the CV and CC sides of the leaking Letdown Heat Exchanger.

The next failure to occur will be for the 1C CD/CB pump to trip with a failure of the standby pump to start.

The crew will take actions to manually start the standby pump while entering BOA SEC-1, Secondary Pump Trip procedure to address any other plant concerns.

Following the CD/CB pump trip the output of the controller for 1CV121 will fail low causing 1CV121 to drift closed reducing charging header flow. The reactor operator will need to take manual control of the controller and restore charging flow so that pressurizer level can be restored.

The 1B TDFWP Trips and the 1A MDFWP doesnt start to provide replacement feedwater flow. The crew will take actions per BOA SEC-1 to runback the Unit to 780 MW however the runback function on the turbine generator will not work so the crew will have to manually reduce turbine load.

The crew will not be able to maintain SG water levels and will have to trip the unit. This is the start of the major transient in which the reactor will not trip from the front panel 1PM05J. The reactor operator will have to use the alternate reactor trip switch located on 1PM06J. The turbine will also fail to trip and must be manually tripped using the trip pushbutton.

The reduction in feedwater results in lowering SG levels and a signal to automatically start the Aux. Feedwater Pumps.

The 1A AFW pump starts but trips on overcurrent immediately after its start. The 1B AFW will start and run for 1 minute and then trip. With no AFW pumps running once the crew transitions out of 1BEP-0, the crew should enter 1BFR - H.1.

The crew will need to initiate an RCS bleed and feed once SG wide range levels fall below 27% (43% adverse). The scenario will be terminated when feedwater flow is re-initiated to a hot dry SG.

SCENARIO OVERVIEW The unit is at 4% Rx power, steady state, MOL.

The scenario begins with the operating crew preparing to perform the Main Turbine Oil System Checks per 1BGP 100-2. This will complete 1BGP 100-2 in preparation for the Mode change to MODE 1.

Intermediate Range Nuclear Instrumentation channel N-35 fails low. The down scale alarm will come in and N-35 will need to be declared inoperable. Crew will perform 1BOA Instr-1 for the failed NI channel. Tech Spec 3.3.1 conditions A and F must be entered. Condition F requires Thermal Power be decreased < P-6 or be increased > P-10 within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />. The crew will have to decide which action to take. Whichever action the crew takes, it will account for the reactivity manipulation for this scenario.

The scenario should be set up to have one TDFWP running when the crew takes the shift. The crew may also want to roll the main turbine while increasing reactor power. This may be a distraction with only three crew members, need to ensure they complete reactivity manipulation. After reactivity manipulation has been completed, the crew will respond to a failure of 1PT-544, the 1D S/G steam pressure channel failing low.

The BOP will take manual control of the 1D Feed Reg Valve and restore S/G level to normal. The Unit Supervisor will enter Tech Spec 3.3.2 and 3.3.4.

TSO calls and orders an emergency load drop of 100 MW. The crew refers to the load Follow Curve to determine the correct amount of boric acid that they will add during the ramp. The crew will reduce turbine load and control reactor parameters during the load reduction.

After the actions to ramp down 100 MW have been completed the online Letdown Heat Exchanger will develop a tube leak into the CC system. The crew will be alerted to the failure by the CC surge tank hi rad alarm. The crew will implement BOA PRI-6, CC Malfunction procedure to address the failure. The SRO should realize that the crew needs to enter the RCS Leakage Tech Spec 3.4.13 for excessive (> 10 gpm) RCS leakage. Once the crew identifies the online Letdown Heat Exchanger as the problem the crew will swap to the standby Letdown Heat Exchanger and isolate both the CV and CC sides of the leaking Letdown Heat Exchanger.

The next failure to occur will be for the 1C CD/CB pump to trip with a failure of the standby pump to start.

The crew will take actions to manually start the standby pump while entering BOA SEC-1, Secondary Pump Trip procedure to address any other plant concerns.

Following the CD/CB pump trip the output of the controller for 1CV121 will fail low causing 1CV121 to drift closed reducing charging header flow. The reactor operator will need to take manual control of the controller and restore charging flow so that pressurizer level can be restored.

by-46\rev3 3

The 1B TDFWP Trips and the 1A MDFWP doesnt start to provide replacement feedwater flow. The crew will take actions per BOA SEC-1 to runback the Unit to 780 MW however the runback function on the turbine generator will not work so the crew will have to manually reduce turbine load.

The crew will not be able to maintain SG water levels and will have to trip the unit. This is the start of the major transient in which the reactor will not trip from the front panel 1PM05J. The reactor operator will have to use the alternate reactor trip switch located on 1PM06J. The turbine will also fail to trip and must be manually tripped using the trip pushbutton.

The reduction in feedwater results in lowering SG levels and a signal to automatically start the Aux. Feedwater Pumps.

The 1A AFW pump starts but trips on overcurrent immediately after its start. The 1B AFW will start and run for 1 minute and then trip. With no AFW pumps running once the crew transitions out of 1BEP-0, the crew should enter 1BFR - H.1.

The crew will need to initiate an RCS bleed and feed once SG wide range levels fall below 27% (43% adverse). The scenario will be terminated when feedwater flow is re-initiated to a hot dry SG.
