SUMMARY
NRC #1 The crew will assume the watch at 100% power with no scheduled activities per IPO-003A, Power Operations.
The first event it is a high failure of Steam Generator (1-03) Feed Flow Instrument, FT-530. Operator actions are per ABN-708, Feedwater Flow Instrument Malfunction, Section 2.0. The crew must manually control Steam Generator level, transfer to an Alternate Channel, and restore Steam Generator (SG) Feedwater Flow Control to AUTO.
The next event is high failure of Power Range Nuclear Instrument Channel (N-43). Crew actions are per ABN-703, Power Range Instrumentation Malfunction, Section 2.0, and include placing Rod Control in MANUAL, bypassing the failed Channel, restoring TAVE to program, and verifying Permissive Interlocks match current power level. The SRO will refer to Technical Specifications.
When Technical Specifications have been reference, Circulating Water Pump (1-01) will trip. The crew enters ABN-304, Main Condenser and Circulating Water System Malfunction, Section 2.0, Circulating Water Pump Trip, and initiates a 50 MWe Turbine Load reduction when Reactor Power rises above 100%. Rod Control is returned to AUTO during this evolution.
When plant conditions are stable, Main Turbine First Stage Pressure Transmitter (PT-505) will fail low.
The crew enters ABN-709, Turbine 1st Stage Pressure Instrument Malfunction, Section 4.0, places Rod Control in MANUAL, disables the Steam Dump System, and transfers to Turbine Impulse Pressure Channel PT-506. The SRO will refer to Technical Specifications.
When Technical Specifications have been referenced, a Small Break Loss of Coolant Accident will commence on a 300 second ramp inside Containment. The crew will observe lowering Pressurizer pressure and level and manually initiate a Reactor Trip and Safety Injection. EOP-0.0A, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection, is entered and actions implemented until a loss of primary coolant is diagnosed and then a transition into EOP-1.0A, Loss of Primary or Secondary Coolant, is made. An Emergency Boration due to loss of Digital Rod Position Indication must be initiated after Step 4 of EOP-0.0A.
The scenario includes a manual Train B Component Cooling Water (CCW) Pump start following failure of the Safety Injection Sequencer and a Service Water Pump 1-01 trip that requires stopping the Train A Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) when Containment Isolation Phase A is RESET while in EOP-1.0A.
Additionally, the Reactor Coolant Pumps (RCPs) must be tripped when a loss of subcooling occurs in either EOP-0.0A or EOP-1.0A.
This scenario is terminated when a Reactor Coolant System cooldown is commenced per EOS-1.2A, Post LOCA Cooldown and Depressurization.
Risk Significance:
Failure of risk important system prior to trip:
SG Feed Flow Instrument Failure Risk significant core damage sequence:
Small Break LOCA Risk significant operator actions:

The SRO will refer to Technical Specifications.
When Technical Specifications are referenced, a low failure of TCOLD Temperature Instrument, TI-421A will occur. Operator actions are per ABN-704, TC/N-16 Instrumentation Malfunction, Section 2.0, and require stopping Control Rod motion and stabilizing Reactor Coolant System (RCS) temperature and Pressurizer level. The SRO will refer to Technical Specifications.
When RCS temperature is restored to normal, a Main Feedwater Pump (MFW) will trip and an AUTO Turbine Runback will fail to initiate. Rod Control will be placed in AUTO and a Manual Turbine Runback to 900 MWe is commenced per ABN-302, Feedwater, Condensate, Heater Drain System Malfunction, Section 2.0. The MFW Pump Recirculation Valve will fail open shortly after the Runback initiates and result in a lowering MFW Pump suction pressure and a trip of the second MFW Pump. When this occurs, the crew will manually trip the Reactor and enter EOP-0.0A, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection.
Two Control Rods failed to insert on the Reactor Trip and an Emergency Boration is required. While performing the actions of EOP-0.0A, a Motor Driven Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) Pump will fail to start and require placing the Turbine Driven AFW (TDAFW) Pump in service. Shortly after the TDAFW Pump is started, the pump will trip. The crew will transition from EOP-0.0A to EOS-0.1A, Reactor Trip Response. Five minutes after the Reactor trips, Train A Safeguards Bus 1EA1 will trip and lockout resulting in a Loss of Feedwater Flow. Entry into FRH-0.1A, Response to Loss of Secondary Heat Sink, will be performed with an immediate transition to Step 12 for RCS Bleed and Feed.
The scenario success path includes tripping the Reactor Coolant Pumps and opening the Pressurizer and Reactor Head Vents.

SUMMARY
NRC #3 The crew will assume the watch at 100% power with no scheduled activities per IPO-003A, Power Operations. The first event is a sheared shaft of the running Centrifugal Charging Pump (CCP). When low flow alarms for Charging and Reactor Coolant Pump seal flow are received, the initial operator actions of ABN-105, Chemical and Volume Control System Malfunction, Section 3.0, will be performed (start the standby CCP). Any delay in determining the cause of the low Charging flow will result in the isolation of Letdown which will be restored prior to proceeding. The SRO will refer to Technical Specifications.
The next event is an overcurrent trip of the running Control Rod Drive Mechanism (CRDM) Ventilation Fan. Crew actions are per 1-ALB-3A, Window 2-1, CONTAINMENT FAN MASTER TRIP. The Alarm Light Box (ALB) will direct starting of the standby CRDM Vent Fan.
This event is followed by a Pressurizer Spray Valve that is failed 35% open. The crew enters ABN-705, Pressurizer Pressure Malfunction, Section 3.0, and attempts to close the valve. When this action fails, Pressurizer Heaters are energized and the Driver Card for the failed Spray Valve is pulled to close the valve. The SRO will refer to Technical Specifications.
When Pressurizer pressure is restored, a Main Feedwater (MFW) Header Pressure Transmitter will fail low. Entry into ABN-709, Feedwater Header Pressure Instrument Malfunction, Section 5.0, is required and the MFW Pump Turbine Master Speed Controller is placed in MANUAL. This controller will remain in MANUAL for the duration of the scenario and require monitoring during the subsequent down power.
When Feedwater Pressure Control is restored, a 10 GPM Steam Generator (SG) Tube Leak will ensue.
The crew will enter ABN-105, High Secondary Activity, Section 3.0, and determine that a Rapid Downpower is required. The SRO will refer to Technical Specifications. When power has been reduced 3% to 5%, a 300 GPM Steam Generator Tube Rupture will commence on a 300 second ramp.
When control of the power reduction is no longer feasible, the crew will trip the Reactor, initiate a Safety Injection, and enter EOP-0.0A, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection. While performing the actions of EOP-0.0A, the Main Turbine will fail to trip until the Electro Hydraulic Control Pumps are secured. The crew will transition from EOP-0.0A to EOP-3.0A, Steam Generator Tube Rupture.
The scenario includes Train A Containment Spray Pumps that fail to start upon initiation of the Safety Injection Sequencer and a Main Steam Isolation Valve (HV-2333A) that fails to AUTO Close. This scenario is terminated when the Ruptured Steam Generator is isolated, Reactor Coolant System (RCS) temperature is lowered, and a depressurization of the RCS to the Ruptured Steam Generator pressure is commenced as outlined in EOP-3.0A.

SUMMARY
NRC #4 The crew will assume the watch with power at approximately 3% per IPO-003A, Power Operations.
With Safety Injection Pump 1-01 running in the recirculation mode per SOP-201A, Safety Injection System, raise Safety Injection Accumulator (1-01) level prior to MODE 1 entry per SOP-202A, Safety Injection Accumulators. When Accumulator level is within specification, the crew will continue with IPO-003A, Section 5.1, Warmup and Synchronization of the Turbine Generator, Step 5.1.16, and perform a power ascension using the Rod Control and Steam Dump Systems.
When power has been raised 3% to 5%, a Pressurizer Level Channel will fail high. Response is per ABN-706, Pressurizer Level Instrumentation Malfunction, Section 2.0, and requires MANUAL control of either the Pressurizer Level Controller or the Charging Flow Controller. If response to this channel failure is not timely, Letdown will isolate. Once an Alternate Channel is selected, Pressurizer Level is restored to AUTO operation.
The next event is caused by a Main Steam Line Pressure Instrument that fails high and opens its associated Steam Generator Atmospheric Relief Valve. Actions are per ABN-709, Steam Line Pressure Instrument Malfunction, Section 2.0, and requires taking MANUAL control of the Atmospheric Relief Valve and closing the valve.
When conditions are stable, Station Service Water Pump 1-02 will trip. The crew will enter ABN-501, Station Service Water System Malfunction, Section 2.0. Initial operator actions include placing the Train A Emergency Diesel Generator in PULLOUT. The SRO will refer to Technical Specifications.
The next event is a Containment Pressure Transmitter failure. Actions are per ALM-0022A, 1-ALB-2B, Window 3.10 - CNTMT 1 OF 4 PRESS HI-3. The SRO will refer to Technical Specifications.
A Faulted Steam Generator is the major event, and a manual Reactor Trip and Safety Injection should be performed per EOP-0.0A, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection, with a transition to EOP-2.0, Faulted Steam Generator. When EOP-0.0A, Attachment 2, Safety Injection Actuation Alignment, actions are complete, the SRO may transition to FRZ-0.1A, Response to High Containment Pressure, if an Orange Path exists at that time. With Containment pressure remaining less than 50 PSIG, the Response Not Obtained actions of FRZ-0.1A, Step 1, will return the crew to the Procedure and Step in effect.
This event is complicated by a trip and lockout of the Train B 6900 Volt Safeguards Bus, Train A Safety Injection Actuation failure, and a Train A Containment Spray System (CSS) Isolation Valve that does not open. These conditions reduce the event success path to single Train A operation.
When the Faulted Steam Generator is isolated, the crew will transition from EOP-2.0A to EOS-1.1A, Safety Injection Termination.
