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/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.

Scenario Summary Initial Conditions:
- The plant is operating at approximately 80% power
- No equipment out of service.
- It is a red light day because record grid loads are expected.
Events:
- Place MT Gov Valves into sequential valve control
- Raise power with RR flow
- HPCI Aux Oil System Leak, TS
- SRV Fails Open, TS
- Two Rods Drift In, Manual Scram Failure Manual ARI works
- Earthquake; Suppression Pool Rupture: ED on Low SP/L Scenario Sequence
- Normal evolution - Place MT into Sequential Gov. Valve Control
- Reactivity manipulation - Raise Power with RR Flow
- Component Failure before the EOPs - Two Rods Drift In, Manual Scram Failure Manual ARI works
- Major Event - Earthquake;
- Component Failure after the EOPs - Suppression Pool leak, below the water line:
Emergency Depressurization on low Suppression Pool Level.
Appendix D Required Operator Actions Form ES-D-1 3
Event One: Place MT Gov Valves into sequential valve control Malfunction Required:
No malfunction required; this is a normal manipulation for the BOP.
Objective:
Evaluate the crews ability to select the Digital Electro Hydraulic Controller and perform the required manipulations on the touch screen to shift the main turbine valve governor control to a Sequential alignment.
Success Path:
The Operator, in accordance with Procedure 2.2.77.1, performs the steps necessary to make the Turbine Governor Valves transition smoothly from single valve control to sequential valve control which causes turbine efficiency improvement (MWatts increase).
Event Two: Raise Power with Reactor Recirc to 737 MWE Net ~ 90%
Malfunction Required:
No malfunction required, this is a normal manipulation for the BOP.
Objective:
Evaluate the RO ability to adjust Reactor Recirculation Pump flows to make power increase from ~80% to ~90%, by alternately raising flow on one RR Pump, letting the plant respond then making a similar adjustment on the other pumps controller.
Success Path:
Both Reactor Recirculation Pumps speeds are raised from ~65 to ~80; maintaining them within the required 5% allowed by Tech Specs, and it is done in accordance with Procedure 2.1.10.
Event Three: HPCI Aux Oil System Leak Malfunction Required:
HP12 Active set at 100%, at the start of the scenario. This failure will not start until the HPCI Aux Oil Pump is started.
Objective:
Evaluate the crews response to an oil leak in the HPCI control oil system while performing the section of the Operating Procedure for the HPCI system 2.2.33 to start
Appendix D Required Operator Actions Form ES-D-1 4
the Aux Oil Pump for maintenance. During this event the Operator will be required to secure the pump.
Evaluate the CRSs ability to determine that HPCI is Inoperable.
Success Path:
The HPCI system is declared Inoperable per TS 3.5.1. Condition C 14 day LCO. RCIC is checked to be operable within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> and the Aux Oil Pump is secured to prevent operation.
Event Four: CRD FC-301 Auto Signal Failure Malfunction Required:
Override 03A35A1 CRD-FC-301 CRD System Flow Control Setpoint set at 0%.
Malfunction PMIS N200 set at 380, N213 set at 402 and N214 set at 480.
Objective:
Evaluate the crews response to CRD-FC-301 Automatic control signal failure resulting in high charging water pressure and low cooling water flow.
Evaluate the ROs ability to diagnose the controller has failed.
Evaluate the SROs ability to determine if the CRDs which have high temperatures should be declared slow or inoperable.
Success Path:
CRD-FC-301 placed in Manual and CRD system flows and pressures returned to normal. SRO addresses CRDs with high temperatures.
Event Five: SRV Fails Open Malfunction Required:
AD06b set at 50% to start the relief valve leaking then it is modified to 20% to minimize the heat addition to the torus.
Objective:
Evaluate the crews performance of Abnormal Procedure 2.4SRV for a leaking SRV which has the Operator cycle the leaking valve to reseat it.
Evaluate the CRS addressing Technical Specification 3.6.2.1 for Suppression Pool Average Temperature, if the SRV is not closed within a short period of time.
Success Path:
The Operator notices and responds to the leaking SRV in accordance with Annunciator Procedures and 2.4SRV. The SRV will be cycled open then taken back to the closed position to reseat the valve. Once the valve has been cycled the tail pipe temperature starts lowering and the heat addition into the Torus is secured. The CRS determines
Appendix D Required Operator Actions Form ES-D-1 5
that Technical Specification 3.6.2.1 for Suppression Pool Average Temperature may apply depending on whether Suppression Pool Temperature at 95F.
Event Six: Two Rods Drift In, Manual Scram Failure Manual ARI works Malfunction Required:
RD162615 CRD 26-15 Slow Scram Time RD162623 CRD 26-23 Slow Scram Time RD162615 CRD 26-15 Scrammed RD162623 CRD 26-23 Scrammed Override Reactor Manual Scram Push Button position Push Out Override Reactor Manual Scram Push Button light Off Objective:
Evaluate the crews response in accordance with Abnormal Procedure 2.4CRD and their ability to recognize Scram Actions with more than one rod is drifting in. Also to recognize that the One Channels Manual Scram Push Button failed to work and the need to manually initiate ARI.
Success Path:
The Operator determines the ATWS when a manual scram fails to work when more than one rod is drifting and initiates ARI manually.
Event Seven: Earthquake; Suppression Pool leak: ED on low SP/L Malfunction Required:
HV02b Major Earthquake set to 25%
PC08 Suppression Pool Water Leak 25% level lowers at -0.2/min Objective:
Evaluate the crews response to a major earthquake in accordance with Emergency Procedure 5.1Quake.
Evaluate the crews ability to monitor and control the consequences of an Unisolable leak in the torus below the normal water level.
Evaluate the crews ability to anticipate emergency depressurization and transfer as much energy to the condenser prior to emergency depressurizing the Reactor.
Success Path:
The crew emergency depressurizes the reactor when suppression pool level lowers to 9.6.
Appendix D Required Operator Actions Form ES-D-1 6
Scenario Termination:
When the reactor is depressurized (50 psig above Torus pressure) and level is being maintained between +3 to +54 and the lead examiner has seen enough, the scenario may be stopped.
