Catawba Nuclear Station NRC Exam September 2012 Scenario 1 - Summary Initial Condition Unit 1 is at 100% power. 1D RC Pump (Circulating Water Pump) is tagged out for a motor replacement.
Turnover:
Unit 1 is at 100% power. 1D RC Pump (Circulating Water Pump) is tagged out for a motor replacement. Decrease power per the reactivity management plan and reduce turbine load to
~85% in preparation for Turbine Control Valve movement testing.
Event 1 BOP will initiate a boration; the RO will setup the turbine controls and begin a turbine load reduction to ~85%.
Event 2 Control rods will begin inserting continuously. The RO is required to take rod control to Manual.
This action will successfully terminate the rod insertion. AP/15 (Rod Control Malfunction) will be entered.
Event 3 (Nuclear Service Water) 2A RN Pump trips. AP/20 (Loss of Nuclear Service Water) will be entered. The BOP will manually start another RN pump (there is no auto start feature of the RN pumps for these conditions). TS evaluation by the SRO is required.
Event 4 Pressurizer PORV 1NC-34A fails open. The BOP will manually close the block valve to isolate the leak. TS evaluation by the SRO is required. AP/11 (Pressurizer Pressure Anomalies) will be entered.
Event 5 1CF-37 (1B S/G Feed Reg Vlv) fails closed (ramps closed). This condition requires the RO to take manual control of the feed reg valve to maintain 1B S/G level. AP/06 (Loss of SG Feedwater) will be entered.
Event 6 A feedwater line break inside containment on 1D S/G ramps in to allow the applicants time to discuss containment pressure increasing, and other plant conditions. AP/28 (Secondary Steam Leak) will initially be entered, but the crew will soon recognize the need to manually trip the reactor.
Event 7 The feedwater line break inside containment on 1D S/G increases to full severity.
Event 8 1NV-253B (Charging Pump suction from FWST) fails to auto open on the SI signal. The BOP will manually open this valve due to failed automatic action.
Event 9 Control rod L13 does not fully insert upon the reactor trip. The RO is required to open the reactor trip breakers.
Critical Task 1 - Close the block valve upstream of the stuck open PZR PORV.
Critical Task 2 - Isolate the faulted SG before transition out of E-2.

Turnover:
Initial Condition IC 178, Unit 1 is at 75% power, MOL. 1B LH Pump is tagged out for a bearing replacement. It is expected to be returned to service in approximately one to two hours.
Direction for the crew is to begin increasing power to 100%.
Event 1 The BOP will setup for and begin a dilution to raise temperature. The RO will setup the turbine controls for the turbine load increase.
Event 2 1D S/G PORV fails open. The RO will manually close the block valve (it takes 60 seconds for this valve to close) to isolate the steam leak. AP/28 (Secondary Steam Leak) will be entered. A TS evaluation by the SRO is required.
Event 3 1KC-C37A (KC pump miniflow) valve fails open (Component Cooling Water system). The BOP will take manual action to close the miniflow to prevent runout damage to the operating KC pump, or start additional KC pumps.
Event 4 Power Range NI N43 fails. This failure requires the BOP to move to an area of the Control Room to investigate the failure. No credit is being taken for a BOP malfunction. The purpose is to ensure that the BOP is removed from the vicinity of the control board for the PZR spray valve failure (Event 6), and ensure that the RO will be required to address the spray valve failure.
AP/16 (Malfunction of Nuclear Instrumentation) will be entered. A TS evaluation by the SRO is required.
Event 5 1NC-27 (PZR Spray Valve) fails open. Manual action by the RO is required to close the spray valve. AP/11 (Pressurizer Pressure Anomalies) will be entered. A TS evaluation by the SRO is required.
Event 6 A tube leak on 1A S/G begins ramping in at 0 gpm. AP/10 (Reactor Coolant Leak) will be entered.
Event 7 Radiation Monitor 1EMF-33 (Condenser Air Ejector Monitor) will fail to auto isolate the S/G blowdown flow control valves. The BOP is required to manually close these valves. The crew will determine that a manual reactor trip is required due to the severity level (increasing) of the tube leak.
Event 8 When the reactor is manually tripped, the severity of the leak will increase to a tube rupture.
Event 9 1NI-10B (NV Cold Leg Injection Valve) fails to auto open on the SI. The BOP will take manual action to open the valve for full injection.

Time Position Applicants Actions or Behavior NOTE TO EVALUATOR: Crew will begin with a power increase. BOP will perform a dilution per OP/1/6150/009, Enclosure 4.3. Amount of dilution will be determined by the power increase plan. The RO will input turbine target data. These two evolutions may be performed concurrently. Initial conditions are complete. A reactivity management brief will be performed during turnover. Step 3.1 is complete.

Unit 1 is at 100% power, MOL. 1A KF pump is tagged out for breaker refurbishment. It is expected to be returned to service in approximately 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />.

Event 1 The crew begins the power reduction to less than 50%. The BOP will setup for and begin boration. The RO will setup and monitor the turbine during the power reduction.
Event 2 1B NV Pump (Charging) trips. Manual action by the BOP to start the 1A NV pump will restore charging. AP/12 (Loss of Charging or Letdown) will be entered. A TS evaluation by the SRO is required.
Event 3 A Zone A lockout occurs, causing a turbine runback. AP/03 (Load Rejection) will be entered. For offsite power sources, a TS evaluation by the SRO is required.
Event 4 Due to the runback rods should auto insert, but this feature will be failed, requiring the RO to manually insert rods. The control rods should be inserting automatically during the runback. The RO will monitor Tavg/Tref mismatch and recognize that the rods are not inserting, and then take manual control of the rods and insert as necessary to maintain Tavg/Tref within 1°F.
Event 5 1SB-24 (Condenser Dump Valve) fails open. The RO is required to take manual action to close this dump valve by selecting the Steam Dump Interlock Bypass Switch to the "OFF/RESET" position.
Event 6 Following the runback a high-high vibration will begin on the 1C NC pump. The value is 30 mils, requiring that the reactor be tripped, and then the pump be tripped. This will be timed such that the crew will have opportunity to recognize and discuss this condition, and the need to trip the reactor and the pump.
Event 7 When the unit is tripped, a rupture of the steam equalization header occurs, concurrent with the failure of all MSIVs to close. Manual action to close the MSIVs will NOT be successful.
Event 8 Feedwater isolation fails to auto actuate (both trains). Manual actuation of at least one train by the RO is required.
Event 9 1A VE (ANNULUS VENTILATION) Fan fails to start on Safety Injection signal. The BOP will manually start the fan.

- 17. Isolate NV S/I flowpath as follows:
- a. Verify the following valves - OPEN:
- 1NV-252A (NV Pumps Suct From FWST)
- 1NV-253B (NV Pumps Suct From FWST).
- b. Verify the following valves - OPEN:
- 1NV-203A (NV Pumps A&B Recirc Isol)
- 1NV-202B (NV Pmps A&B Recirc Isol).
- c. CLOSE the following valves:
- 1NI-9A (NV Pmp C/L Inj Isol)
- 1NI-10B (NV Pmp C/L Inj Isol).
- 18. Establish charging as follows:
- a. THROTTLE 1NV-294 (NV Pmps A&B Disch Flow Ctrl) for 32 GPM charging line flow.
- b. CLOSE 1NV-309 (Seal Water Injection Flow).
- c. Verify 1NV-32B (NV Supply To Loop A Isol) - OPEN.

- h. Perform the following:
- Maintain charging flow less than 180 GPM.
- Maintain 32 GPM seal water flow.
- 19. Control charging as follows:
BOP a. Control charging to maintain Pzr level stable.
- b. Verify Pzr level - STABLE OR INCREASING.
- 20. Determine if NI pumps should be stopped as follows:
- a. Verify any NI pump - ON.
NOTE If Pzr heaters are off, NC pressure may decrease slowly due to Pzr spray bypass flow. This may be considered "stable" pressure.
- b. Verify the following:
- NC pressure - STABLE OR INCREASING
- NC pressure - GREATER THAN 1620 PSIG.
