7 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.
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.
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.
Select SRO topics for Tiers 1 and 2 from the shaded systems and K/A categories.
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.
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.

5 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.
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 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.
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).

Check the applicant level and enter the operating test number and Form ES-D-1 event numbers for each event type; TS are not applicable for RO applicants. ROs must serve in both the at-the-controls (ATC) and balance-of-plant (BOP) positions; Instant SROs must serve in both the SRO and the ATC positions, including at least two instrument or component (I/C) malfunctions and one major transient, in the ATC position. If an Instant SRO additionally serves in the BOP position, one I/C malfunction can be credited toward the two I/C malfunctions required for the ATC position.
- 2.
Reactivity manipulations may be conducted under normal or controlled abnormal conditions (refer to Section D.5.d) but must be significant per Section C.2.a of Appendix D. (*) Reactivity and normal evolutions may be replaced with additional instrument or component malfunctions on a 1-for-1 basis.
- 3.
Whenever practical, both instrument and component malfunctions should be included; only those that require verifiable actions that provide insight to the applicants competence count toward the minimum requirements specified for the applicants license level in the right-hand columns.

SUMMARY
NRC #1 The crew will assume the watch at 100% power with no scheduled activities per IPO-003A, Power Operations. The first event is a Pressurizer Pressure Channel (PT-455) that fails low. The crew will enter ABN-705, Pressurizer Pressure Malfunction, Section 2.0, place the Pressurizer Master Pressure Controller in MANUAL, transfer to an Alternate Channel, and restore Pressurizer Pressure Control to AUTO. The SRO will refer to Technical Specifications.
The next event is a high failure of Steam Generator (1-01) Steam Flow Instrument, FT-512. Operator actions are per ABN-707, Steam 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.
This is followed by a Centrifugal Charging Pump (CCP) trip. The Initial Operator Action is to start the Standby CCP per ABN-105, Chemical and Volume Control System Malfunction, Section 3.0. In the event Letdown is isolated, Letdown flow will be restored per the Control Board Job Aid. The SRO will refer to Technical Specifications.
When Technical Specifications have been referenced, the Low Pressure Heater Bypass Valve fails open. Entry into ABN-302, Feedwater, Condensate, Heater Drain System Malfunction, Section 7.0, is required and Rod Control is returned to AUTO and a Manual Turbine Runback to 900 MWe is performed. During this event, Control Rod position may drop below the Rod Insertion Limit (RIL) and when informed, the SRO will refer to Technical Specifications.
When plant conditions are stable, a Feed Line Break will commence on a 600 second ramp outside Containment downstream of Steam Generator (SG) 1-01 Feed Line Isolation Valve HS-2134. 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 it is determined that SG 1-01 pressure is lower than the other Steam Generators and a transition into EOP-2.0A, Faulted Steam Generator Isolation, is performed.
The scenario includes a Feedwater Isolation Signal actuation failure on HS-2134, Main Feedwater Line Isolation Valve which fails to close when the P-4 interlock is satisfied. Additionally, the Train B Containment Spray Pumps must be manually started due to a Safety Injection Sequencer failure.
This scenario is terminated when the Faulted Steam Generator is identified and isolated per EOP-2.0A and Letdown flow is established per EOS-1.1A, Safety Injection Termination.

SUMMARY
NRC #2 The crew will assume the watch at 100% power with no scheduled activities per IPO-003A, Power Operations. The Positive Displacement Charging Pump (PDP) is in service and Letdown flow is 75 GPM per Radiation Protection while maintenance is performed. The scenario begins by placing Centrifugal Charging Pump 1-01 in service, raising Letdown flow to 120 GPM, and securing the Positive Displacement Charging Pump (PDP) per SOP-103A, Chemical and Volume Control System.
When the PDP is secured, a Main Feedwater (MFW) Header Pressure Transmitter will fail high. 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/adjustment during the subsequent down power.
When plant parameters are restored to normal, a Reactor Coolant System (RCS) Loop 4 TCOLD Instrument will fail high. The crew enters ABN-704, TC/N-16 Instrumentation Malfunction, Section 2.0, places Rod Control in MANUAL and defeats the affected channel. The SRO will refer to Technical Specifications.
When Technical Specifications have been referenced, a 10 GPM Steam Generator (SG) Tube Leak will ensue. The crew will enter ABN-106, 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 400 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. Two Main Steam Safety Valves and a Power Operated Relief Valve (PORV) will fail open upon Reactor Trip. The PORV should be closed once identified at Step 10 of EOP-0.0A if not already recognized. When SG 1-01 is identified as faulted, the crew will transition from EOP-0.0A to EOP-2.0A, Faulted Steam Generator Isolation. When SG 1-01 is isolated in EOP-2.0A, a transition to EOP-3.0A, Steam Generator Tube Rupture, will be made.
When it is determined that Ruptured Steam Generator 1-01 pressure is less than 420 psig in EOP-3.0A, a transition to ECA-3.1A, SGTR with Loss of Reactor Coolant - Subcooled Recovery Desired, will be made. The scenario includes Train A Residual Heat Removal Pump that fails to start upon initiation of the Safety Injection Sequencer.
This scenario is terminated when a cooldown is commenced via the Atmospheric Relief Valves in ECA-3.1A.

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 loss of Inverter IV1PC1. Actions are per ABN-603, Loss of Protection or Instrument Bus, Section 2.0, and include placing Rod Control in MANUAL, controlling Steam Generator (SG) level and RCS pressure, and adjusting Charging flow due to a loss of Letdown. Affected systems will be restored to normal when the Alternate Power Supply is aligned. The SRO will refer to Technical Specifications.
When Technical Specifications are referenced, the Train A Component Cooling Water (CCW) Pump will trip and the Train B CCW Pump will fail to start. The crew will enter ABN-502, Component Cooling Water System Malfunction, Section 2.0, and transfer CCW flow to Train B. The SRO will refer to Technical Specifications.
The next event is a low failure of the Volume Control Tank Level Transmitter. The crew will reference annunciator ALM-0061A-4.5, VCT LEVEL LO, and ABN-105, Chemical and Volume Control System Malfunction, and establish an Alternate Operating Mode for the Reactor Makeup System.
When plant conditions are stable, a Reactor Coolant Leak inside Containment will commence. Once it is determined that Pressurizer level cannot be maintained, the Reactor must be manually tripped and Safety Injection manually initiated. The crew will enter EOP-0.0A, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection, and then transition to EOP-1.0A, Loss of Reactor or Secondary Coolant.
The scenario is complicated by a Train A and B Containment Isolation Phase B automatic actuation failure. Additionally, the Train B Safety Injection Pump will fail to auto start upon actuation of the Safety Injection Sequencer.
While in EOP-1.0A, a Large Break Loss of Coolant Accident will occur when the Containment Spray Signal is RESET during performance of Step 7. At that point, the Unit Supervisor should recognize that entry into FRZ-0.1A, Response to High Containment Pressure, is required due to a Critical Safety Function Status Tree ORANGE path inside Containment. When the actions of FRZ-0.1A are completed a transition to FRP-0.1A, Response to Imminent Pressurized Thermal Shock Condition, is required.
FRP-0.1A will be exited at Step 1 RNO when it is determined that Reactor Coolant System pressure is less than 425 psig and Residual Heat Removal System flow is greater than 750 GPM.
The crew will return to EOP-1.0A, Loss of Reactor or Secondary Coolant, Step 8, as this is the current procedure and step in effect. This scenario is terminated when the conditions are reached for a Transfer to Cold Leg Recirculation.

SUMMARY
NRC #4 The crew will assume the watch with power at approximately 3% per IPO-003A, Power Operations.
Prior to raising power, the crew will recirculate the Refueling Water Storage Tank (RWST) using Containment Spray Pump 1-01 per SOP-204A, Containment Spray System, Section 5.1.3, Recirculation through the Recirculation Header. When the RWST recirculation is started, 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 a Steam Generator Level Transmitter failure. Actions are per ABN-710, Steam Generator Level Instrumentation Malfunction. The BOP will be required to take manual control of the Feedwater Bypass Control Valve and then select an alternate controlling channel to return the Feedwater System to automatic control. The SRO will refer to Technical Specifications.
When conditions are stable, Containment Spray Pump 1-01 will trip. Actions are per ALM-0022A, 1-ALB-2B, Window 1.3 - ANY CSP OVRLD TRIP. The SRO will refer to Technical Specifications.
When Technical Specifications have been referenced, a spurious Train B Safety Injection Signal will actuate. The crew will determine that the Reactor did not automatically trip and initiate a Reactor Trip and Safety Injection and enter EOP-0.0A, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection. This scenario is complicated by Train B Containment Isolation Phase A Automatic actuation failure.
The crew will exit EOP-0.0A at Step 15 and enter EOS-1.1A, Safety Injection Termination. While in EOS-1.1A, Safeguards Signals are reset, the Charging flow path is realigned, and Safety Injection (SI)
Pumps are stopped. When SI Pump 1-02 is stopped, a Small Break Loss of Coolant Accident will initiate. At this point, the crew will follow guidance on the EOS-1.1A Foldout Page that requires a transition to EOP-1.0A, Loss of Reactor or Secondary Coolant.
The scenario is terminated when it is determined in EOP-1.0A that Pressurizer pressure continues to slowly lower, and a transition to EOS-1.2 A, Post LOCA Cooldown and Depressurization, is required.
Risk Significance:
Failure of risk important system prior to trip:
Containment Spray Pump Trip Risk significant core damage sequence:
Automatic Reactor Trip Failure Small Break Loss of Coolant Accident Risk significant operator actions:
