- 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 / evolutions that are not included on the outline should be added. Refer to Section D.1.b of ES-401 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. Refer to Section D.1.b of ES-401 for the applicable K/As.
- 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.

SUMMARY
NRC #1 The crew will assume the watch and maintain steady-state conditions per Operating Instruction (OI)
SO23-5-1.7, Power Operations.
The first event is a Containment Wide Range Pressure Transmitter failure. The crew will respond per Abnormal Operating Instruction (AOI) SO23-13-18, Reactor Protection System Failure/Loss of Vital Bus and Operating Instruction (OI) SO23-3-2.12, Reactor Protective System Operation. The CRS will evaluate Technical Specifications.
When Technical Specification actions are complete, Steam Generator E-088 Master Controller Setpoint fails to 50%. Entry into AOI SO23-13-24, Feedwater Control System Malfunction is required. The CRS will analyze the cause of the failure using Attachment 1 of SO23-13-24. Steam Generator level control is restored by placing the Master Controller in Manual. When Steam Generator level control is achieved the controller will be returned to automatic operation.
When level control is regained, Control Element Assembly #44 will drop into the core. Crew actions are per AOI SO23-13-13, Misaligned or Immovable Control Element Assembly and include a power reduction as required per procedure. The crew will restore RCS Cold Leg temperature per OI SO23-5-1.7, Power Operations and block any further load changes and then continue with a power reduction as required per SO23-13-13. The CRS will evaluate Technical Specifications.
When the crew commences recovery of CEA #44, a second Control Element Assembly will drop into the core necessitating a manual Reactor trip.
When the Reactor is tripped, a Large Break Loss of Coolant Accident will occur. The crew will enter Emergency Operating Instruction (EOI) SO23-12-1, Standard Post Trip Actions and then transition to EOI SO23-12-3, Loss of Coolant Accident. Post trip events include a Non-1E 4160 Volt Bus that fails to transfer as well as a Low Pressure Safety Injection Pump start failure. Both of these failures require actions on the part of the Reactor and Balance of Plant Operators.
The scenario is terminated when conditions for reactor coolant system cooldown is reached.

SUMMARY
NRC #2 The crew will assume the watch and maintain steady-state conditions per Operating Instruction (OI)
SO23-5-1.7, Power Operations.
The first event is a Loss of Control Room Annunciators. The crew will respond per Abnormal Operating Instruction (AOI) SO23-13-22, Loss of Control Room Annunciators. Actions include aligning an alternate power supply to the Control Room Annunciators. The CRS will evaluate Technical Specifications.
When the annunciators are restored, a loss of oil pressure to Main Feedwater Pump P-063 will occur.
The crew will respond per the Annunciator Response Procedures (ARP) and AOI SO23-13-24, Feedwater Control System Malfunction and determine that a Main Feedwater Pump trip is warranted.
This will necessitate entry into AOI SO23-13-28, Rapid Power Reduction in order to low power below the threshold for one (1) Main Feedwater Pump operation.
When plant conditions are stable, a loss of 1E 4160 Volt Bus 2A04 will occur. The crew will enter him the AOI SO23-13-26, Loss of Power to an AC Bus. Crew actions include placing a Charging Pump in service as well as transferring to the Train B Component Cooling Water System. The CRS will evaluate Technical Specifications.
The major event is a Loss of Offsite Power that requires entry into Emergency Operating Instruction (EOI) SO23-12-1, Standard Post Trip Actions. During performance of the Standard Post Trip Actions, the Train B Emergency Diesel Generator fails to start. Additionally, five (5) minutes post-trip the Turbine Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump will trip on overspeed. With a Station Blackout and Loss of Feedwater, the CRS will be required to enter Functional Recovery Procedure (FRP) SO23-12-9, Functional Recovery. Boric Acid Makeup Tank Gravity Feed Valves fail to open during boration and the Reactor Operator will be required to manually align the Refueling Water Storage Tank.
With Switchyard power unavailable, restoration of Unit 2 1E 4160 Volt Bus 2A06 will be via a crosstie with Unit 3 1E 4160 Volt Bus 3A06. Once the crosstie is successful, Auxiliary Feedwater Pump P-504 can be started to restore feedwater flow to Steam Generator E-088.
The scenario is terminated when the 1E Bus is reenergized, feedwater flow is restored, and boration via the RWST is commenced.

SUMMARY
NRC #3 The crew will assume the watch and resume a dilution and power ascension per Operating Instruction (OI) SO23-5-1.7, Power Operations at 10% per hour.
The next event is a Reactor Coolant Pump speed sensor failure. The crew will respond per the Annunciator Response Procedures (ARP) and place the appropriate Reactor Protection System trips in Bypass per Abnormal Operating Instruction (AOI) SO23-13-18, Reactor Protection System Failure/Loss of Vital Bus and Operating Instruction (OI) SO23-3-2.12, Reactor Protective System Operation. The CRS will evaluate Technical Specifications.
When Technical Specifications have been addressed, a Volume Control Tank (VCT) level transmitter fails low and transfers Charging Pump suction to the Refueling Water Storage Tank. The crew will align LV-0227B, VCT Outlet Valve and refer to Operating Instruction (OI) SO23-3-2.1, CVCS Operations and/or SO23-3-2.2, Makeup Operations.
The next event is the overcurrent trip of the feeder breaker to 1E 480 Volt Bus 2B04. The crew will respond per AOI SO23-13-26, Loss of Power to an AC Bus. Crew actions include restoring Charging flow as required and placing the Train A Emergency Diesel Generator in Maintenance Lockout. The CRS will evaluate Technical Specifications.
During the next event, the running of Main Feedwater Pump will trip. The crew will determine that a Reactor and Turbine trip are required. The Primary Side Reactor Trip pushbuttons are disabled and the BOP will trip the Reactor.
When the Reactor and Turbine are tripped, an Excess Steam Demand Event (ESDE) downstream of the Main Steam Isolation Valves will occur. The crew should determine that an ESDE is occurring and manually trip the Reactor and Turbine. Entry into Emergency Operating Instruction (EOI) SO23-12-1, Standard Post Trip Actions is required. A transition will then be made to EOI SO23-12-5, Excess Steam Demand Event. Two (2) Control Element Assemblies will fail to insert on the trip and an emergency boration using the Gravity Feed Valves is required. Additionally, a manual Main Steam Isolation Signal must be generated.
This scenario is terminated when the Main Steam Isolation Valves are closed and Reactor Coolant System temperature control is restored using the Atmospheric Dump Valves.

SUMMARY
NRC #4 The crew will assume the watch with the Reactor critical at ~2x10-3% power. The crew will raise power using CEA withdrawal per Operating Instruction (OI) SO23-5-1.3.1, Plant Startup from Hot Standby to Minimum Load.
The next event is a high failure of a Letdown temperature instrument. The crew will respond per the Annunciator Response Procedures (ARP) and perform actions to isolate the Boronometer and bypass the Ion Exchanger Demineralizers.
When Letdown conditions are normal, a tube leak will develop on the Train B Component Cooling Water Heat Exchanger. The crew will respond per Abnormal Operating Instruction (AOI) SO23-13-7, Loss of Component Cooling Water/Salt Water Cooling. Crew actions include transferring to the Train A Component Cooling Water System as well is attempting to isolate Train B leakage. The CRS will evaluate Technical Specifications.
When CCW flow is restored, the Steam Bypass Control System (SBCS) Valves will close. Crew actions are per OI SO23-3-2.18, Steam Bypass System Operation and include transferring the SBCS Master Controller to Local-Manual control or operating individual SBCS Valves and restoring Reactor Coolant System temperature and Reactor power level to normal.
When plant conditions are stable, a Steam Generator tube leak will occur. The crew will enter AOI SO23-13-4, RCS Leak and take actions to minimize tube leakage. The size of the leak will require an immediate plant trip and at that time the leak will escalate to a rupture. The crew will enter Emergency Operating Instruction (EOI) SO23-12-1, Standard Post Trip Actions and transition to EOI SO23-12-5, Steam Generator Tube Rupture.
Following the Safety Injection Actuation Signal, the Containment Cooling Actuation Signal fails to actuate requiring manual actions by the crew.
The event is terminated when the affected Steam Generator is cooled down and the Reactor Coolant System is depressurized.

SUMMARY
NRC #5 The crew will assume the watch and maintain steady-state conditions per Operating Instruction (OI)
SO23-5-1.7, Power Operations.
The first event is a loss of Saltwater Cooling Pump P-114. The crew will respond per Abnormal Operating Instruction (AOI) SO23-13-7, Loss of Component Cooling Water/Saltwater Cooling System by starting Train A Component Cooling Water System. Additionally, the Non-Critical Loop and Letdown Heat Exchanger must also be transferred to Train A. The CRS will evaluate Technical Specifications.
The next event is a low failure of Pressurizer Pressure Channel Y. Operator actions are per AOI SO23-13-27, Pressurizer Pressure and Level Malfunction. The crew will transfer to Channel X and restore Pressurizer pressure and heater functions.
Once plant conditions are stable, Control Element Assembly Calculator (CEAC) #2 will fail. The crew will respond per the Annunciator Response Procedures (ARP) and OI SO23-3-2.13, Core Protection /
Control Element Assembly Calculator Operation and transfer to CEAC #1 to restore Rod Position Indication. The CRS will evaluate Technical Specifications.
The major event is initiated by an inadvertent Main Turbine trip. Upon Main Turbine trip, a Pressurizer Safety Valve will open and remain open until Safety Injection actuates and close when the Safety Injection Actuation Signal is received. The crew will enter Emergency Operating Instruction (EOI)
SO23-12-1, Standard Post Trip Actions. The CRS will determine that entry into EOI SO23-12-2, Reactor Trip Recovery is warranted because Pressurizer pressure and level are rising with no indications of radiation or leakage into Containment. In the event the opening and closing of the Pressurizer Safety Valve is not observed, the crew may enter EOI SO23-12-3, Loss of Coolant Accident.
The inadvertent Main Turbine trip is complicated by the Reactor failing to trip and a High Pressure Turbine Stop Valve remaining open. Additionally, a loss of Condenser vacuum occurs necessitating Reactor Coolant System temperature control using the Atmospheric Dump Valves.
The event is terminated when actions for High Pressure Safety Injection Throttle/Stop are performed per EOI SO23-12-2 or EOI SO23-12-11, EOI Supporting Attachments in order to prevent overfilling of the Pressurizer.
