2/22/13 EXAM OUTLINE REVIEW COMMENTS No comments on the JPM sets.
Scenario 1: Event 7 - Change credit to just BOP and SRO not "ALL n. Delete Event 8 redundant to Event 7 Le., event 8 is the required action for event 7.
Scenario 2: Note: Event 5 - Susq. can't simulate a seal failure so licensee revised the draft event that I reviewed to the current high temp. Malfunction. Event 10 change from "All" to credit for only the SRO and BOP also change to an Instrument malfunction.
Scenario 3: Events 8 and 9 as written are set-up items Le., no actions can be taken by the crew to mitigate the failures. The licensee plans to revise one or both of these malfunctions to setup as sequential failures so initial actions can be taken by the crews to mitigate the failures. Also need to change credit from "All" to credit for only the SRO and BOP.
Scenario 5: Event 9 change credit from "All" to credit for only the SRO and BOP.
Written Outline: Cautioned that the following Q topics may not meet SRO only level Os if the Os are written literally to match the KIA topics selected: 77, 77,78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 85, 88, 89, 90, 92, 93, 96 and 100.
I also took the opportunity to discuss with the exam rep (Andy Thompson) preps for validation week.

Note:
- 1.
Ensure that at least two topics from every applicable KIA category are sampled within each tier of the RO and SRO-only outlines (i.e., except for one category in Tier 3 ofthe SRO-only outline, the "Tier Totals" in each KIA 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 +/-I 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, sitc-specific systems that are not included on the outline should be added. Refer to section D.l.b of ES-401, for guidance regarding elimination of inappropriate KIA 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 KAs having an importance rating (IR) of2.5 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 I and 2 from the shaded systems and KIA categories.
7.*
The generic (G) KIAs 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.I.b of ES-40 I for the applicable KIA's

JPM Descriptions A. The candidate will perform a surveillance test to start a Diesel Generator and synchronize it to a bus. The candidate will then load the Diesel Generator to the appropriate levels for the surveillance. A fault will develop which causes the Diesel Generator output breaker to open and output voltage to lower. The Candidate will respond per the alarm response and shutdown the Diesel Generator.
B. The candidate will perform an off-normal procedure section to raise Spent Fuel Pool water level using RHR Service Water. The candidate will align valves within RHR to prevent diversion of water to other loads. The candidate will then align RHR Service Water to the Spent Fuel Pool and start an RHR Service Water pump.
C. The candidate will start with one loop of Core Spray injecting to the Reactor to maintain Reactor water level under LOCA conditions. The candidate will be required to start the alternate loop of Core Spray and begin injection to the Reactor. The candidate will then secure injection from the original loop of Core Spray and shutdown the pumps in that loop. The candidate will need to adjust injection with the new loop of Core Spray to maintain Reactor water level in the assigned band.
D. The candidate will start with both Recirculation pumps in a runback condition due to trip of a Circulating water pump. The candidate will be directed to reset the run back on Recirculation pump A per the off-normal procedure. The candidate will verify control of Recirculation pump speed and then reset the runback. When the runback is reset, a fault will cause the Recirculation pump speed to rise and then oscillate. The candidate will be required to either lock the scoop tube or trip the Recirculation pump per immediate actions of the off-normal procedures.
E. The candidate will perform an off-normal procedure to re-open MSIVs following inadvertent closure. The downstream piping will be depressurized, requiring pressurization to allow opening MSIVs without receiving an automatic isolation on high flow. The candidate will align auxiliary steam loads to allow pressurizing the steam piping and then open valves to start steam piping pressurization. The candidate will monitor MSIV differential pressure. Once pressure requirements are met, the candidate will re-open the MSIVs.
F. The candidate will be placed in a post-scram situation requiring HPCI in pressure control mode. The candidate will align HPCI for start, control the HPCI flow controller in manual, accelerate the HPCI turbine, and establish proper flows. Once HPCI flow exceeds 2000 gpm, a steam leak will develop in the HPCI room and HPCI will not automatically isolate. The candidate will manually isolate HPCI.
G. The candidate will be directed to perform a Control Room Evacuation with the plant at approximately 100% power. The candidate will place the mode switch in shutdown and all control rods will fail to insert. The candidate will perform immediate action to insert rods by either arming and depressing the manual scram push buttons or arming and depressing ARI push buttons. All control rods will then insert. The candidate will continue by taking multiple pre-evacuation actions, including closing MSIVS, tripping Feedwater pumps, aligning Condensate, isolating RWCU, and ensuring HPCI and RCIC are in proper alignment.
H. The candidate will be directed to lower Drywell pressure by venting with the plant at approximately 100% power. The candidate will start Standby Gas Treatment System by
opening a damper and starting a fan. Then the candidate will align Drywell venting dampers to create a flow path from the Drywell to Standby Gas Treatment.
I. The candidate will be presented with A TWS conditions and directed to pull RPS fuses.
The first set of fuses will be pulled. When the candidate attempts to pull the second set of fuses, they will be informed that the cabinet cannot be accessed. They will be required to perform alternate actions outside the control room to insert control rods.
They will proceed to the Reactor Building and vent the scram air header.
J. The candidate will be presented with post-LOCA conditions requiring start of a Hydrogen Recombiner. The candidate will adjust Recombiner controls for start. The candidate will then start the Recombiner. The candidate will adjust Recombiner temperature controls to achieve proper operation.
K. The candidate will be presented with LOCA and station blackout conditions and directed to lineup Fire Protection water to inject into the Reactor through RHRSW and RHR. This will require coordinating with another Operator in the screen house and aligning numerous valves in the Unit 1 and Unit 2 Reactor Buildings.

The candidate will monitor MSIV differential pressure. Once pressure requirements are met, the candidate will re-open the MSIVs, F. The candidate will be placed in a post-scram situation requiring HPCI in pressure control mode. The candidate will align HPCI for start, control the HPCI flow controller in manual, accelerate the HPCI turbine, and establish proper flows.

I SCENARIO
SUMMARY
I The crew assumes the shift with the plant operating at approximately 100% power. EHC pump A is out of service for maintenance. RCIC is out of service for maintenance.
The crew will begin by transferring Bus 1A202 to the alternate supply per OP-1 04-001 section 2.1.4.
Then, the crew will lower Reactor power with Recirculation flow to approximately 92% per GO-1 00-012 section 5.3 and Reactivity Manipulation Package.
Once the Reactor power reduction is in progress or completed, the level instrument for Condensate Storage Tank A will fail high. This instrument impacts RCIC and HPCI operability. With RCIC already inoperable, there will be no further impact on that system. The SRO will review Technical Specifications and determine the required actions for HPCI.
Next, Feedwater pump turbine A will develop high vibrations. The crew will respond per AR-016-001 (007) and lower load on the Feedwater pump either manually or by lowering Reactor power. The crew may trip the Feedwater pump as vibration levels approach the 5 mil automatic trip setpoint. Eventually, the Feedwater pump will automatically trip if the crew does not remove the pump from service. An automatic Recirc run back to the 48% limiter will be received. The crew will execute ON-162-001 due to lowering Recirculation flow. Reactor power will be approximately 65% following this transient.
Once the crew stabilizes the plant, RHR pump B will spuriously start. After a short delay, a leak will develop on the pump suction flange. RHR pump room water level will rise and Suppression Pool level will lower. The crew will secure the pump and isolate the leak by closing the suction valve. The crew will enter ON-169-002 due to flooding in the Reactor Building, EO-000-104 due to high Reactor Building area water level, and possibly EO-000-103 due to low Suppression Pool level. The SRO will review Technical Specifications and determine the impact.
Next, a steam leak will develop in the HPCI equipment room. HPCI will fail to automatically isolate.
When the crew attempts to manually isolate the leak, both HPCI steam isolation valves will fail mid position. The crew will enter re-EO-000-104, Secondary Containment Control. With an un-isolable primary system discharging into the Reactor Building and one area temperature approaching or exceeding the maximum safe value, the crew will insert a manual Reactor scram. Ten control rods will fail to insert on the scram. Five of these control rods will be able to be inserted using RMCS and five of these control rods will remain stuck for the rest of the scenario. The crew will enter EO-OOO-113, Level/Power Control, and take actions for the failure to scram. A second steam leak will develop from the HPCI steam isolation valves in the HPCI pipe routing area. This will lead to a second area temperature exceeding the maximum safe value. The crew will perform a rapid depressurization of the Reactor per EO-OOO-112.
The scenario will be terminated when the ADS valves are open, control rod insertion is in progress or completed for all rods that can be inserted, and Reactor water level is being controlled in the assigned band above -161".

SCENARIO
SUMMARY
I I
The crew assumes the shift with the plant operating at approximately 100% power. EHC pump A is out of service for maintenance. RCIC is out of service for maintenance.
The crew will begin by performing half scram surveillance testing for Reactor Scram Instrument Channel A 1 SO-158-001. When the crew resets the half scram, MCC 1 B217 will de-energize. This results in a loss of RPS bus A, as well as power to Drywell spray valves on RHR A The crew will execute ON-158 001, Loss of RPS, to restore power to RPS bus A. The crew will reset the half scram, reset NSSSS logic, and recover the RBCW isolation.
Next, the crew will be notified that a Minimum Generation Emergency has been declared and that a 50 MWe reduction on Unit 1 is requested ASAP. The crew will reduce power in accordance with 01-AD-029, Emergency Load Control, and GO-100-012, Power Maneuvers.
Next, HPCI will spuriously start. HPCI will inject into the Reactor and Reactor power will rise. The crew will take action to override HPCI injection per OP-152-001. The crew will also execute ON-156-001, Unanticipated Reactivity Change. HPCI will be inoperable but available for the remainder of the scenario.
The SRO will determine that with RCIC already out of service, this requires the plant to be taken to Mode 3 within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />.
A high temperature condition will develop on Recirculation pump A lower guide bearing. The crew will respond per AR-1 02-001 (G03) and trip the pump once limits are exceeded. The crew will also execute ON-164-002, Loss of Recirculation Flow, and the SRO will determine the impact of single loop operations in Technical Specifications.
Next, a fault will occur on Auxiliary Bus 11 B. This will lead to loss of two Condensate pumps, two Service Water pumps, two Circulating Water pumps, and the only operating Recirculation pump. The crew will scram the Reactor due to the loss of all Recirculation pumps. The crew will execute ON-100-101, Scram, Scram Imminent, ON-103-003, 13.8 KV Bus 11 A Loss, and EO-OOO-102, RPV Control.
Next, the two remaining Condensate pumps will trip and a Reactor coolant leak will develop inside the Drywell. The crew will enter EO-OOO-1 03, Primary Containment Control. The crew will transition to HPCI to maintain Reactor water level, spray the Suppression Chamber, and then spray the Drywell. Sprays will be successful in lowering Containment pressures.
HPCI will trip and the Reactor coolant leak will worsen. ADS will fail to automatically initiate. Reactor water level will lower below the top of active fuel and the crew will execute EO-OOO-112, Rapid Depressurization. The crew will open the ADS valves to lower Reactor pressure and then restore and maintain Reactor water level with low pressure injection systems.
The scenario will be terminated when the ADS valves are open, Reactor water level is being controlled in the assigned band above -161", and Containment parameters are being controlled per EO-OOO-103.

SCENARIO
SUMMARY
I I
The crew assumes the shift with the plant operating at approximately 90% power. Core Spray pump A is out of service.
The crew will begin by starting EHC pump B and placing EHC pump A in standby per OP-193-003. Then the crew will begin raising Reactor power with Recirculation flow.
During the power ascension, the Reactor pressure regulator will begin to oscillate. Reactor power and pressure will oscillate. The crew will execute ON-156-001, Unanticipated Reactivity Change, 01\\1-178 002, Core Flux Oscillations, and ON-193-001, Turbine EHC System Malfunction. The crew will lower Reactor power. This will suppress the oscillations some. The crew will then lower the load limit and swap pressure regulators to eliminate the oscillations.
Next, SRV K will spuriously open. The crew will execute ON-183-001, Stuck Open Safety Relief Valve.
The SRV control switch will not close the valve, however pulling fuses will. Once the valve is closed, the crew will attempt to place Suppression Pool cooling in service. The Suppression Pool cooling valve breaker will trip immediately upon trying to open the valve on the first RHR loop attempted. The SRO will determine the Technical Specification impact. The crew will be able to place Suppression Pool cooling in service with the second loop of RHR.
SRV K will continue to have significant leak-by even once the fuses are pulled. Additionally, the SRV tailpipe is cracked and will continue to degrade. This results in rising Suppression Pool water temperature, air temperature, and pressure. Eventually, vacuum breakers will cycle, causing Drywell temperature and pressure to rise. The crew will execute ON-1 00-1 01, Scram, Scram Imminent, to lower Reactor power and attempt a manual scram prior to Drywell pressure exceeding 1.72 psig. Later in the scenario, the crew will mitigate degraded Containment parameters with Suppression Chamber sprays per EO-000-103, Primary Containment Control.
When the crew attempts to scram the Reactor, RPS will fail to de-energize and ARI will fail to function.
The crew will enter EO-000-102, RPV Control, and transition to EO-000-113, Levell Power Control. The crew will lower Reactor power by lowering Recirculation flow, tripping Recirculation pumps, lowering Reactor water level, attempting SLC injection, and inserting control rods. The response will be complicated by failure of the SLC pumps to inject boron into the Reactor and failure of the CRD flow control valve to fully open.
The crew will be able to insert all control rods by either venting the scram air header or pulling RPS fuses.
If the Main Generator is tripped with Drywell pressure above 1.72 psig, load shedding will cause a loss of all Condensate pumps unless the crew has taken action to reset the Main Generator lock-outs. The crew will take action to establish Reactor water level control with RCIC andlor HPCI.
The scenario will be terminated when all control rods are inserted and Reactor water level is being controlled in the assigned band above -161".

SCENARIO
SUMMARY
I I
The crew assumes the shift with the plant operating at approximately 70% power. Core Spray pump A is out of service. Circulating Water pump A is out of service and ready to be started.
The crew will begin by starting Circulating Water pump A per OP-142-001. At the end of this evolution, Refuel Floor High exhaust radiation monitor A will fail downscale. The SRO will determine the Technical Specification impact. Then the crew will perform a control rod pattern adjustment.
During the control rod pattern adjustment, CRD pump A will trip. The crew will respond per ON-155-007 by placing the CRD flow control valve in manual and fully closing it. Then the crew will start CRD pump B, open the CRD flow control valve, and place the valve back in automatic. One CRD accumulator will alarm with low nitrogen pressure. The low nitrogen pressure condition will continue even after other CRD parameters are restored. The SRO will determine the Technical Specification impact of the inoperable accumulator.
The Main Generator voltage regulator will fail to maximum demand while in automatic. The crew will respond per ON-198-001. The crew may attempt to fix the automatic voltage regulator demand signal, but will eventually place the manual voltage regulator in service and lower reactive load.
Next, Instrument Bus 1 Y226 will de-energize. This will cause a loss of multiple control room indications, Instrument Air compressors, and the running Control Structure Chiller. The standby Control Structure Chiller will fail to auto-start. The crew will take action to start the standby Control Structure Chiller. The SRO will determine the Technical SpeCification impact.
Next, a leak will develop from the Main Steam lines into the Turbine Building. The crew will lower Reactor power as time allows and attempt a manual Reactor scram. RPS channel B will fail to scram. The crew will insert control rods by manually initiating ARI. An MSIV isolation will be received on high temperature, however Main Steam Line D will fail to isolate. The crew will manually isolate Main Steam Line D by closing at least one of the two MSIVs.
Once the MSIVs are closed, the crew will lose the normal post-scram level and pressure control systems, Feedwater and Turbine Bypass Valves, respectively. HPCI may be started for level control, but will immediately trip. RCIC will fail to start on an automatic start signal. The crew will be able to manually start RCIC to restore and maintain Reactor water level and assist in controlling Reactor pressure. The RCIC initiation pushbutton will fail to arm, requiring manual component by component startup of RCIC.
SRVs will also initially be required to control Reactor pressure. Steam flow through the SRVs will exceed RCIC makeup capability for a period of time following the scram. The crew will maximize other injection sources. After a period of time, lowering decay heat will allow RCIC to turn Reactor water level, avoiding the need for more drastic Reactor water level control actions. RCIC will eventually trip, requiring the crew to lower Reactor pressure and utilize Condensate pumps for Reactor injection.
The scenario will be terminated when all control rods are inserted, the Main Steam lines are isolated, Reactor water level is being restored to or controlled in the assigned band above -161", and Reactor pressure is being controlled in the assigned band below 1087 psig.

SCENARIO
SUMMARY
I I
The crew assumes the shift with the plant operating at approximately 8-9% power during a plant startup.
APRM 1 is bypassed due to spiking.
The crew will begin by raising Reactor power by withdrawing control rods. The crew will complete the current rod group. Then the crew will place the Mode Switch in RU N per GO-1 00-002, Plant Startup, Heatup, and Power Operation. When the Mode Switch is placed in RUN, Annunciator AR-104-001 (003),
MSIV CLOSURE BYPASS, will not clear as required. The SRO will place the startup on hold and determine the Technical Specification impact.
Next, EDG C will spuriously start. ESW pump C will start and then trip after a short time delay. The crew will enter ON-054-001, Loss of Emergency Service Water, and restore ESW flow. EDG C will experience high jacket water and lube oil temperatures due to failure of the jacket water temperature control valve.
The crew will secure EDG C due to the high temperatures. The SRO will determine the Technical Specification impact of ESW pump C and EDG C inoperability.
Service Water pump A will develop a high bearing temperature. After a short period of time, discharge pressure from Service Water pump A will begin to degrade. The crew may enter ON-111-001, Loss of Service Water. The crew will take action to start an alternate Service Water pump and secure Service Water pump A.
Next, a seismic event will occur and cause a rupture in Instrument Air piping. The crew will enter ON 118-001, Loss of Instrument Air. The crew will insert a manual Reactor scram and execute ON-100-101, Scram, Scram Imminent. The MSIVs will close due to low Instrument Air pressure, resulting is loss of Feedwater pumps and Turbine Bypass Valves for Reactor water level and pressure control, respectively.
The crew will use alternate systems for Reactor water level and pressure control, and stabilize the plant as Instrument Air pressure continues to degrade.
A second seismic event will occur and cause a break between the Suppression Pool and both the Core Spray A and RHR A rooms. Additionally, a small steam leak will develop in the Drywell. Suppression Pool level will lower and the crew will enter EO-OOO-103, Primary Containment Control. The crew may attempt to isolate Core Spray A and RHR A suction lines, but the respective suction valves will fail to close. The crew will lineup Suppression Pool makeup from Condensate Transfer, the Condensate Storage Tanks, HPCI, and/or RCIC. The running Condensate Transfer pump will trip upon initiation of makeup. The crew will be able to start the alternate Condensate Transfer pump, but it will fail to produce normal discharge pressure due to a shaft shear. HPCI and RCIC minimum flow valves will also fail to' open. These failures will limit the sources of Suppression Pool makeup.
As Suppression Pool level continues to lower, the crew will isolate HPCI and then enter EO-OOO-112, Rapid Depressurization. The crew will attempt to open all 6 ADS valves, however only 3 will open. The crew will open 3 other SRVs. The crew will control Reactor injection to restore I maintain Reactor water level during and after the rapid depressurization.
The scenario will be terminated when 6 SRVs are open and Reactor water level is being restored to or controlled in the assigned band above -161".
