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 of the 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 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.
- 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, 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 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) of 2.5 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 1 and 2 from the shaded systems and KIA categories.
7.*
The generic (G) KIAs in Tiers 1 and 2 shall be select~3d from Section 2 of the KIA 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 KIA's
- 8.
On the following pages, enter the KIA numbers, a brief description of each topic, the topics' importance ratings (IR) 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.
- 9.
For Tier 3, select topics from Section 2 of the KIA Catalog, and enter the KIA numbers, descriptions, IRs, and point totals(#) on Form ES-401-3. Limit SR.O selections to KIAs that are linked to 10CFR55.43 Pilgrim 2014 NRC Written Outline.doc

Scenario Event Description Pilgrim 2014 NRC Scenario 1 ES-D1 The plant is at approximately 4% power with a reactor plant startup in progress following a two day outage. Procedure 2.1.1, Startup from Shutdown is complete up through step
[92]. RBCCW pump "A" is out of service. The running Steam Packing Exhaust Blower has been reported as vibrating excessively. The directions to the shift are to shift Steam Packing Exhaust Blowers lAW PNPS 2.2.93, Main Condenser Vacuum System and then continue the plant startup lAW PNPS 2.1.1.
After assuming the watch, the BOP will shift Steam Packing Exhaust Blowers as directed. The RO will commence control rod withdraw and raise power in preparation for transferring the Reactor Mode Switch to Run. While raising power, the RO will encounter a control rod that cannot be moved with normal drive pressure. The crew is expected to respond lAW PNPS 2.4.11.1, CRD System Malfunctions. The RO is expected to increase drive water pressure in 50 pound increments and attempt to move the rod at each increment. The rod will move when drive pressure has been increased by 150 pounds.
Then the Steam Seal Pressure Regulator will fail closed. The BOP is expected to diagnose the failure and respond lAW ARP C2C-A7, Steam Seal Header Press LO and take manual control of header pressure via the regulator bypass valve and steam seal unloading valve. The crew may also refer to PNPS 2.4.36, Lowering Condenser Vacuum.
Next the crew will be informed that a bearing problem is indicated on the "A" RPS MG set. As the crew prepares to secure the MG set, the MG set will trip causing a Y2 scram and loss of power to various Nuclear Instruments and Radiation Monitors. The crew is expected to diagnose the failure and direct the field operator to place RPS "A" on the backup power supply lAW PNPS 2.2.79, Reactor Protection System. When the bus is re-energized, APRM "C" will fail upscale. The RO is expected to diagnose the failure, bypass the APRM as directed and reset the Y2 scram. The SRO is expected to consult T.S. Table 3.1.1 and FSAR Appendix B, Table 3.2.C.1., conclude that the minimum number of operable APRMs is met and enter a Tracking LCO. The BOP is expected to reset the rad monitors that were impacted by the power loss.
Then the 23KV Circuit Switcher supplying the Shutdown Transformer will trip. The SRO is expected to declare the Shutdown Transformer lnop, refer toTS 3.9.B.1 and declare a 7 day LCO.
The scenario ending event begins when a primary system leak occurs in the secondary containment from the RWCU system. The leak will result in rising area temperatures.
The crew is expected to enter EOP-04, Secondary Containment Control, when area temperatures exceed EOP-04 entry conditions. The automatic PCIS isolation will fail and various valve failures will prevent manual isolation. Before any area temperature reaches its max safe operating value, the crew is expected to enter EOP-01 RPV Control and insert a manual scram (Critical Task #1 ). Four control rods will fail to insert following the scram. The SRO is expected to transition to EOP-02, RPV Control, Failure to Scram. Boron injection is not expected. The RO is expected to manually insert the Document in jmd\\AppData\\Locai\\Microsoft\\Windows\\ Temporary Internet Files\\Content.

The crew is expected to perform an aggressive cooldown lAW PNPS 5.3.35.2, Operations Emergency and Transient Response Strategies and rapidly lower pressure to 450 to 550 psig in order to reduce the effects of the leak. However area temperatures will continue to rise. The crew may anticipate an Emergency Depressurization lAW EOP-01 and open all turbine bypass valves. Regardless of any mitigating action, area temperatures will exceed their max safe operating values in two or more areas of the secondary containment. The crew is then expected to enter EOP-17, Emergency RPV Depressurization, open all SRVs and depressurize the reactor (Critical Task #3).
The scenario will be terminated when all SRVs have been opened, and RPV water level has been stabilized Document in jmd\\AppData\\Locai\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Temporary Internet Files\\Content.Outlook\\RXZYV7PA\\NRC 75-day submittal.doc Facility:

Scenario Event Description Pilgrim 2014 NRC Scenario 2 ES-D1 RX power is approximately 55% following a power reduction for a main condenser backwash.
The backwash has been completed and the seawater system has been returned to a normal lineup lAW PNPS 2.2.94.5.
The "B" CS pump is OOS to allow for replacement of the pump's breaker charger motor. The plant is on day 2 of a 7 day LCO lAW TS 3.5.A.2 due to the CS breaker repair. APRM "C" has failed upscale and is bypassed. All other APRMs are operable. RWCU is isolated following an equipment failure during a surveillance last shift. The equipment failure has been repaired.
The directions to the shift are to restore RWCU service lAW PNPS 2.2.83, Reactor Cleanup System, section 7.2 commencing at step [6] and then restore power to 100% lAW PNPS 2.1.14, Station Power Changes.
After assuming the watch, the BOP will restore RWCU to service lAW PNPS 2.2.83. After RWCU is in service the RO will commence a power ascension by raising Recirc Flow lAW PNPS 2.1.14 section 7.5.
During the power ascension, HPCI will inadvertently start and inject. The crew is expected to respond lAW 2.4.35, Inadvertent Initiation of CSCS. The BOP will be required to secure HPCI and complete subsequent actions such as assisting in determining whether any fuel damage has occurred. The RO may be directed to reduce power during the transient. After stabilizing the plant the SRO is expected to refer to Tech Spec TS 3.5.C.3 and declare a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> Cold SID LCO due to HPCI being OOS in conjunction with CS "B" being OOS.
Next, the running CRD Pump trips. The RO is expected to enter PNPS 2.4.4, Loss of CRD Pumps and start the standby pump. A Control Rod Accumulator Trouble alarm annunciates prior to the pump start. The alarm does not clear after restoring charging water pressure.
Following investigation the crew will determine that the accumulator cannot be recharged. The SRO is expected to declare the accumulator lnop, refer toTS 3.3.D and declare the associated control rod "Slow". Alternatively the SRO may declare the associated control rod lnop and initiate action to fully insert the rod and disarm the rod but this is not expected.
The scenario ending event begins with a trip of the running TBCCW pump. The standby pump fails to auto start and cannot be started manually. The crew is expected to respond lAW PNPS 2.4.41, Loss of TBCCW. The RO is expected to manually scram the reactor and perform required scram actions. The BOP is expected to trip all feed and condensate pumps, close the MSIVs, and inject with RCIC. RPV pressure will be controlled using SRVs. Entry conditions for EOP-01, RPV Control will be exceeded.
The transient results in a reactor coolant leak that progresses in size over time. Drywell pressure will exceed the entry conditions of EOP-01 and EOP-03, Primary Containment Control.
EOP-03 will direct the use of Torus and Drywell sprays (Critical Task #1 ).
lAW PNPS 5.3.35.2, Operations Emergency and Transient Response Strategies, the crew is expected to rapidly lower pressure to 450 to 550 psig in order to reduce the effects of the leak.
Regardless of any mitigating action, RPV level will continue to lower and drop below the Top of Document in jmd\\AppData\\Locai\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Temporary Internet Files\\Content.Outlook\\RXZYV7PA\\NRC 75-day subrnittal.doc Scenario Event Description Pilgrim 2014 NRC Scenario 2 ES-D1 the Active Fuel (TAF). The crew is then expected to enter EOP-17, Emergency RPV Depressurization, open all SRVs and depressurize the reactor in order to allow the Low Pressure ECCS to restore vessel level (Critical Task #2).
When RPV pressure lowers below 400 psig one of the LPCI injection valves will fail to auto open. The "A" CS pump will trip when it starts to inject. Operator action will be required to manually open the LPCI injection valve to allow the RHR system to recover RPV level and adequate core cooling (Critical Task #3).
The scenario will be terminated when all SRVs have been opened, water level has been restored to the normal range and primary containment parameters are stabilized or lowering.

Scenario Summary:
Scenario Event Description Pilgrim 2014 NRC Scenario 3 ES-D1 The plant is at approximately 100% power with a plant shutdown in progress due to increased drywellleakage. "B" CS pump is OOS to allow for replacement of the pump's breaker charger motor. The plant is on day 2 of a 7 day LCO lAW TS 3.5.A.2 due to the CS breaker repair.
APRM "C" has failed upscale and is bypassed. All other APRMs are operable.
The directions to the shift are to commence de-inerting the primary containment and commence the power reduction lAW PNPS2.1.5, Controlled Shutdown From Power, Section F.
After assuming the watch the BOP will align the PCAC system, start Standby Gas and commence de-inerting the primary Containment. The RO will then commence the power reduction by lowering Recirc Flow to 43 Mlbm/hr as required.
After a sufficient power reduction has occurred the in-service CRD Flow Control Valve (FCV) fails open. The RO is expected to respond lAW PNPS 2.4.11.1, CRD System Malfunctions, and place the standby CRD FCV in service.
The in-service Pressure Regulator (EPR) then begins to oscillate. The BOP is expected to determine that the EPR is oscillating and respond lAW PNPS 2.4.37, Turbine Control System Malfunctions and remove the EPR from service. The SRO is expected to determine that the MCPR LCO is not met due to loss of backup pressure regulation and enter TS LCO 3.11.C.1.
Next an air leak results in one SDIV drain valve failing partially closed. The SRO is expected to refer toTS 3.3.G and declare a 7 day LCO to isolate the drain line.
Then a leak on Salt Service Water (SSW) loop "A" will occur. The crew is expected to respond lAW PNPS 2.4.43, Loss of One Salt Service Water Loop. The BOP will cross connect RBCCW loops and isolate SSW loop "A" to stop the leak. The SRO is expected to declare Loop "A" SSW inoperable and a 24 Hr Cold S/D LCO due to the RBCCW Cross Tie valves being open (T.S. 3.5.B.3.C.1 ).
The scenario ending event begins when a SRV fails open following the previous pressure oscillations. The crew is expected to respond lAW PNPs 2.4.29, Stuck Open SRV. All efforts to close the valve will be unsuccessful. The crew is expected to insert a manual scram before 5 minutes have elapsed. Water in the Scram Discharge Volumes will cause a hydraulic lock on the control rods and most will fail to insert.
The crew is expected to respond lAW EOP-02, RPV Control, Failure to Scram. The RO is expected to reduce both Recirc pumps to minimum speed and trip the pumps to lower power.
The crew is expected to inject SBLC before the BIIT curve is exceeded (Critical Task #1 ). The Standby Liquid SQUIB valve will fail to fire. The RO is expected to recognize the failure and start the standby SBLC Train. Other actions will include inhibiting ADS and defeating the MSIV low RPV level isolation. Torus water temperature will exceed the EOP-03, Primary Containment Control, entry condition.
EOP-02 will require that injection be terminated and prevented and RPV level lowered to below
-25 inches to mitigate /prevent core oscillations (Critical Task# 2). The RO is expected to Document in jmd\\AppData\\Locai\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Temporary Internet Files\\Content.Outlook\\RXZYV7PA\\NRC 75-day submittal.doc Scenario Event Description Pilgrim 2014 NRC Scenario 3 ES-D1 insert control rods utilizing PNPS 5.3.23 Alternate Rod Insertion and complete control rod insertion (Critical Task #3). In addition to manually driving rods, repeated manual scrams are expected.
The scenario will end when all rods are inserted, EOP-02 is exited, RPV level is in progress of being restored to the normal band and actions are in progress to lower Torus Water temperature.
