NRC JPM-A1a Rev. 0, 11/13 Page 2 of 6 Directions:

Discuss the information given on this page with the operator being evaluated. Allow time for him to ask questions before beginning performance of the task. As each performance step is performed, evaluate the performance of that step by circling either "Sat" or "Unsat". Comments are required for any "Unsat" classification. If a step is preceded by an asterisk (*), it is a critical step. If a critical step is skipped or performed unsatisfactorily, then the operator has failed the Job Performance Measure.

After providing the initiating cue, ask the operator "Do you understand the task?"

Read to the person being evaluated:

Before starting, I will explain the initial conditions, provide the initiating cues and answer any questions you have.

This JPM will be performed in the Simulator and you are to perform the actions.

You are requested to "talk through" the procedure, stating the parameters you are verifying or checking and the steps you are performing.

Inform me upon completion of this task.

Initial Conditions:

The plant is at 100% power OPOP-RCIC-4121, Reactor Core Isolation Cooling System test was completed last shift.

NRC JPM-A1b Rev. 0, 11/13 Page 4 of 9 Evaluation Performance Steps TIME START:

SAT/UNSAT

  • Step 1:

Compares the completed Attachment 7 - SRM Response Check with the Acceptance Criteria Standard:

Determines that:

SRM A Passed its response check as indicated because the detector responded as the detector moved.

SRM C Passed its response check as indicated because the detector responded as the detector moved.

SRM D Failed its response check as indicated because it did not show any response as the detector was moved.

Interim Cue:

If asked, respond as the test performer, that the final SRM readings (SRM Reading) were all taken after the detector was fully withdrawn.

SAT/UNSAT

  • Step 2:

Determines operability of SRM D Standard:

Evaluator Note:

Operability requirements are contained within Tec Spec Section 3.12.B and also in OP 2130 SOURCE Range Monitoring System.

Interim Cue:

After SRM Operability has been determined, direct SM to determine requirements for core alterations.

NRC JPM-A1b Rev. 0, 11/13 Page 5 of 9 Evaluation Performance Steps SAT/UNSAT

  • Step 3:

Determines SRM requirements for Core Alterations Standard:

Determines that Technical Specifications require that one operable SRM be located in the quadrant where fuel movement, control rod withdrawal, or control rod removal is to be performed and one operable SRM be located in an adjacent quadrant.

Evaluator Note:

The next scheduled core alteration is to remove the blade for control rod 26-27 (Initial Conditions)

Control Rod 26-27 is in Quadrant A. (Operable)

Quadrant B. (Adjacent but Inoperable)

Quadrant C. (Opposite and Operable)

Quadrant D. (Adjacent but Inoperable), of this JPM is provided as an aid to the evaluator - an OPERABLE SRM is needed in adjacent quadrants for alterations SAT/UNSAT

  • Step 4:

Determines whether minimum requirements are met using the Primary Quadrant definition.

Standard:

SBO EDG is out of service (tagged out) for Electrical Maintenance trouble shooting of the voltage regulator. A & F APRMs are bypassed. House Heating Boilers in service. The SRO will direct the BOP to Perform Turbine Oil Pump Test in accordance with OP 4160 section B.

After the performance of the Turbine Oil Pump test, the Control Rod Drive flow controller will fail low resulting in the in-service FCV throttling close. The RO will respond to typer alarms, review CRD indications and diagnose the controller failure. The SRO will enter OPON-3145-01, Loss of CRD Regulating Function, and direct the RO to place the CRD flow controller in manual and restore CRD flow.

Once CRD flow has been stabilized, the BOP will respond to annunciator 3-A-4, ADS Power Failure and determine that the position indicating lights for RV-71B are extinguished. The SRO will review Technical Specifications, determine that RV-71B is inoperable and enter TS LCO 3.5.F.2.

As a result of the CRD flow controller failure, the A Recirculation Pump #1 Seal will fail.

The BOP will respond to seal indications and alarms and diagnose the failure of the #1 seal. The SRO will enter OPON-3142-01, Recirc Pump Seal Failure and direct the BOP to increase monitoring of seal parameters. After the commencement of monitoring, the

  1. 2 seal will fail requiring the A Recirculation Pump to be shut down and the crew to conduct a rapid load reduction IAW OPOT-3118-01 Recirculation Pump Trip. The RO will insert control rods to lower reactor power to approximately 45%. The SRO will review Technical Specifications and enter TS LCO 3.6.G.1 for single loop operation.

After reactor power is reduced to approximately 45% and the B Recirculation pump speed is being lowered, the B Recirculation Pump will trip. The crew will recognize the need to manually scram the reactor. Manual scram will result in partial rod insertion and the SRO will direct inhibiting ADS (Critical Task) and insertion of control rods / boron injection (Critical Task). With the reactor not shutdown, the SRO will direct the RO to inject boron using the standby liquid control system. The operating SLC pump will trip after 60 seconds and the RO will diagnose failure and start the remaining SLC Pump to re-establish boron injection. PCIS Group V valves (RWCU-15, 18, and 68) will fail to isolate. The RO will diagnose the failure and manually close the valves.

During the ATWS, conditions will be met to perform power/level control TERMINATE AND PREVENT INJECTION into the RPV using appendix GG, until conditions are met to re-establish injection (Critical Task)..

Page 3 of 18 Scenario Summary The crew assumes the watch with the unit at 80% power. Reactor power was reduced to allow Maintenance to evaluate A Main Feedwater Pump seal leakage. House Heating Boilers are in service. The SRO will direct the BOP to place Torus Cooling in service in accordance with OPOP-RHR-2124 Residual Heat Removal System. Section 7.3 Torus Cooling during normal operations to reduce torus temperature.

After tours cooling has been established, C APRM will fail downscale. The RO will respond to APRM Downscale and Rod Withdrawal Block alarms and diagnose the failure of C APRM. The SRO will direct the RO to remove A APRM from bypass and place C APRM in bypass. The SRO will determine the impact with 2 APRMs inoperable in the same channel (TS Table 3.1.1 Action 1). Once C APRM is bypassed the SRO will exit the APRM TS LCO.

After the Technical Specifications for C ARPM have been addressed, A Service Water Pump will trip and the standby Service Water Pump will fail to auto start. The BOP will diagnose the failures. The SRO will direct the BOP to start the standby Service Water Pump, address actions in ON 3148 Loss of Service Water, declare the A Service water Pump inoperable and enter TS LCO 3.5.D.2.

A small steam leak will develop from the HPCI steam supply line in the reactor building. The fire detection Zone 11 Reactor Building Panel will alarm. The SRO will initially enter OP 3020 Control Room Response to a Fire and exit the procedure when the report of a steam leak is received. The SRO will enter ON-3158 Reactor Building High Area Temperature / Water Level and direct the BOP to isolate HPCI. The HPCI steam supply valves will fail to isolate automatically and will not close manually from the control room.

As area temperatures rise, the SRO will enter EOP-4 due to area temperature and will direct a reactor scram prior to any area in the reactor building exceeding the maximum safe operating level (Critical Task) and enter EOP-1.

The HPCI steam leak will increase after the reactor scram. PCIS Group 3 will fail to actuate requiring the crew to align and start standby gas (Critical Task). Additional attempts to isolate the HPCI steam leak will be unsuccessful requiring the crew to enter EOP-5 and perform an emergency depressurization of the reactor pressure vessel when two reactor building area temperatures exceed the maximum safe operating limits (Critical Tack).

The scenario will be terminated when Reactor Vessel Emergency Depressurization has been achieved and vessel level is being controlled between 127 to 177 inches.
