Scenario Event Description NRC Scenario 1 2014 NRC Exam Scenario 1 D-1 Rev 0 The crew assumes the shift at 100% power with instructions to maintain 100% power.
After taking the shift, Volume Control Tank level instrument CVC-ILT-0227 fails high resulting in valve CVC-169 diverting letdown to the Boron Management System. The ATC should recognize this through indications on the Plant Monitoring Computer. The SRO should enter into procedure OP-901-113, Volume Control Tank Makeup Control Malfunction, and direct the ATC to place valve CVC-169 to the VCT position.
After the procedure has been reviewed and a brief has occurred, the setpoint for #1 Steam Generator Atmospheric Dump Valve (ADV) fails low and the controller MS-IPIC-0303-A1 demands the ADV fully open. The SRO should enter into procedure OP-901-221, Secondary System Transient and direct the BOP to manually close the valve by placing controller MS-IPIC-0303-A1 in manual control and lowering the output to minimum. The SRO should review Technical Specification 3.7.1.7 and determine that the ADV will need to be restored to operable status in automatic within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> or be below 70% Rated Thermal Power within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />.
After the SRO addresses Technical Specifications of the above event, Control Element Assembly #9 (Regulating group 4) drops into the core. The SRO should enter into procedure OP-901-102, CEA or CEDMCS Malfunction and proceed to section E1, CEA Misalignment Greater than 7 inches. The SRO will direct the BOP to adjust turbine load to match TAVG to TREF initially and then perform a rapid plant downpower (commence direct boration to the RCS) within 15 minutes of the dropped CEA to comply with Technical Specification 3.1.3.1 and the COLR. The SRO should evaluate and enter Technical Specifications 3.1.3.1.
After the crew has performed a significant portion of the downpower and at lead Examiner discretion, Main Feedwater Pump B will develop an oil leak that will lead to a loss of oil pressure and a trip of the pump. The BOP will note the tripped pump and a Reactor Power Cutback will occur as expected. The Reactor Power cutback combined with a previous dropped CEA will result in an unanalyzed rod configuration and the ATC will conduct a manual Reactor Trip. During the trip 3 CEAs remain fully withdrawn and the ATC will commence emergency boration to the RCS in accordance with OP-902-000, Standard Post Trip Actions (Critical Task 1). While the ATC is emergency borating the RCS, the turbine will fail to automatically trip and MSIS will fail to actuate requiring the BOP to manually trip the turbine or close the Main Steam Isolation Valves in accordance with OP-902-000, Standard Post Trip Actions (Critical Task 2).
While the crew is progressing through the action steps of OP-902-000, Standard Post Trip Actions, Main Feedwater Pump A will trip on an overspeed condition resulting in a complete loss of Main Feedwater.
The crew will complete Standard Post Trip Actions and enter diagnostics. The crew will enter Appendix 1 of OP-902-009, Standard Appendices and diagnose into OP-902-006, Loss of Main Feedwater Recovery Procedure. The SRO will direct the BOP to ensure that Emergency Feedwater is available to the Steam Generators. At this point, or earlier depending on when the narrow range level in the Steam Generators reaches 27.4% and lowering, Emergency Feedwater actuation failed to occur. The BOP must take action to ensure that a heat sink exists by manually actuating Emergency Feedwater Actuation Signal, establishing Auxiliary Feedwater flow, or depressurizing the Steam Generators and injecting with Condensate pumps (Critical Task 3). The crew will continue on in OP-902-006 and stop 1 RCP in each loop.
The scenario may be terminated once all critical tasks have been completed or performance standards exceeded and when the crew stops 2 RCPs in accordance with OP-902-006, Loss of Main Feedwater Recovery or at the discretion of the lead examiner.
NRC Scenario 1 2014 NRC Exam Scenario 1 D-1 Rev 0 CRITICAL TASKS
- 1. ESTABLISH REACTIVITY CONTROL This task is satisfied by commencing Emergency Boration flow by either Boric Acid makeup pumps or Gravity Feed valves in accordance with OP-902-000, Standard Post Trip Actions step 1 prior to exiting the step to verify Reactivity Control. This task becomes applicable following the initiation of a Reactor Trip.
- 2. ESTABLISH REACTIVITY CONTROL This task is satisfied by stopping the steam flow to the Main Turbine by either tripping the Main Turbine manually or by closing the Main Steam Isolation valves before TCOLD lowers to below 443qF. This task becomes applicable following the initiation of the Reactor Trip signal.
- 3. ESTABLISH RCS HEAT REMOVAL This task is satisfied by manually actuating Emergency Feedwater Actuation System, manually starting at least 1 Emergency Feedwater pump, aligning and starting the Auxiliary Feedwater pump, or depressurizing at least 1 Steam Generator and injecting the Steam Generator with Condensate flow prior to Steam Generator levels reducing below 55% Wide Range in both Steam Generators. This task becomes applicable once Steam Generator water level reduces below 27.4% Narrow Range in one or both Steam Generators.

Scenario Event Description NRC Scenario 2 2014 NRC Exam Scenario 2 D-1 Rev 0 The crew assumes the shift at 100% power with instructions to maintain 100% power.
After taking the shift, ENI Channel D Log Power Instrument (ENI-IJI-0001-D), (middle channel), fails low.
The SRO should review and enter Technical Specification 3.3.1 action 2 and bypass Hi Linear Power, Hi LPD, Lo DNBR within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> in accordance with OP-009-007, Plant Protection System. Bypassing High Log Power on PPS D is not required in Mode 1, but may be performed. The SRO should also evaluate and enter Technical Specification 3.3.3.6 action 29 which is to restore the channel within 30 days.
After Technical Specifications are addressed, Charging Pump B trips on overcurrent. The SRO should implement OP-901-112, Charging or Letdown Malfunction, Section E1, Charging Malfunction. The SRO should direct the ATC to start a standby charging pump after verifying a suction path available or isolate Letdown using CVC-101, Letdown Stop Valve. If Letdown is isolated, Charging and Letdown will be re-initiated using Attachment 2 of OP-901-112. The SRO should review and enter Technical Specification 3.1.2.4 and Technical Requirement Manual 3.1.2.4. Technical Specification 3.1.2.4 may be exited after aligning Charging Pump AB to replace Charging Pump B. However, Technical Requirement Manual 3.1.2.4 should not be exited while Charging Pump B remains inoperable.
After the crew addresses the Charging pump malfunction, Steam Generator 1 develops a tube leak at ~ 3 gpm. The SRO should implement OP-901-202, Steam Generator Tube Leakage or High Activity. The SRO should determine that based on leak indications, Technical Specification 3.4.5.2 is not met for Primary-to-Secondary Leakage or Identified Leakage and enter TS 3.4.5.2 Action a to be in Mode 3 within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />. The SRO should also determine that the current leakage requires implementation of OP-901-212, Rapid Plant Power Reduction.
After the reactivity manipulation has been satisfied, the running Turbine Cooling Water Pump A will trip and the standby pump will fail to start automatically. The CRS should direct the BOP to start the standby pump in accordance with OP-901-512, Loss of Turbine Cooling Water and monitor affected loads.
After the crew has restored Turbine Cooling Water, the Steam Generator tube leakage will worsen to a Steam Generator tube rupture with leakage greater than Charging Pump capacity. The SRO should direct a manual Reactor Trip and Safety Injection/Containment Isolation actuation. The crew should proceed through OP-902-000, Standard Post Trip Actions and diagnose to OP-902-007, Steam Generator Tube Rupture Recovery. After the Containment Isolation Signal is initiated, Relay K202 fails and RC-606, Control Bleed off Containment Isolation and FP-601B, Fire Water B Containment Isolation fail to auto close requiring manual action by the ATC and BOP.
The crew will perform steps of OP-902-007, Steam Generator Tube Rupture Recovery to perform a rapid cooldown of the RCS to THOT less than 520qF and isolate the #1 Steam Generator (CRITICAL TASK 1).
While the crew is performing the rapid plant cooldown, Component Cooling Water Surge Tank level switch, CC-ILS-7013A fails low isolating Component Cooling Water to the Reactor Coolant Pumps. The ATC will have to take action and stop all running RCPs within 3 minutes of isolation of flow (CRITICAL TASK 2). Once the crew has stopped RCPs and isolated #1 Steam Generator, the crew should then take action to commence depressurizing the RCS in accordance with OP-902-007 (CRITICAL TASK 3).
The scenario can be terminated once the crew commences the RCS depressurization in accordance with OP-902-007, Steam Generator Tube Rupture Recovery or at the lead examiners discretion.
NRC Scenario 2 2014 NRC Exam Scenario 2 D-1 Rev 0 CRITICAL TASKS
- 1. ISOLATE MOST AFFECTED STEAM GENERATOR This task is satisfied by closing Main Steam isolation valve, Main Feedwater isolation valve, Emergency Feedwater flow control and isolation valves, steam supply to EFW pump AB, steam line drains, and Blowdown isolation valves for #1 Steam Generator not before a cooldown to RCS THOT less than 520qF has been completed. This task becomes applicable when the crew enters OP-902-007, Steam Generator Tube Rupture Recovery.
- 2. TRIP ANY RCP EXCEEDING OPERATING LIMITS This task is satisfied by stopping all running Reactor Coolant Pumps prior to exceeding 3 minutes without Component Cooling Water flow to the RCPs. This task becomes applicable after all RCP CCW flow lost annunciators actuate. The alarms indicate the possibility for additional Reactor Coolant System pressure boundary degradation through the Reactor Coolant Pumps. The time requirement of 3 minutes is based on the Reactor Coolant Pump operating limit of 3 minutes without CCW cooling.
- 3. PREVENT LIFTING AFFECTED SG SAFETY VALVES This task is satisfied by commencing an RCS depressurization to less than 930 PSIA using auxiliary spray valves and charging pumps prior to lifting atmospheric dump valve in automatic or main steam safety valves on affected Steam Generator. This task becomes applicable after the RCS has been cooled down to RCS THOT less than 520qF and Steam generator #1 is isolated (Critical Task 1).

(N)ormal, (R)eactivity, (I)nstrument, (C)omponent, (M)ajor
Scenario Event Description NRC Scenario 3 2014 NRC Exam Scenario 3 D-1 Rev 0 The crew assumes the shift at ~ 1% power with instructions to stop the running Auxiliary Feedwater Pump and raise power to 5%. All requirements have been met to change modes from MODE 2 to MODE 1.
The Shift Manager has given permission to change modes. The SRO should direct raising power using Control Element Assemblies in accordance with OP-010-003, Plant Startup.
After conducting the required reactivity manipulation, Steam Generator 1 Pressure Instrument, SG-IPT-1013C, fails low. The SRO should review and enter Technical Specifications 3.3.1 action 2 and 3.3.2 actions 13 and 19 and direct the BOP to bypass the Steam Generator 1 Pressure Lo, Steam Generator 1
'P, and Steam Generator 2 'P trip bistables in Plant Protection System Channel C within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />, in accordance with OP-009-007, Plant Protection System. The SRO should review Technical Specifications 3.3.3.5 and 3.3.3.6 and OP-903-013, Monthly Channel Checks, and determine that Technical Specification entry for 3.3.3.5 and 3.3.3.6 is not required.
After Technical Specifications are addressed, Reactor Coolant Pump 1A lower seal fails requiring entry into OP-901-130, Reactor Coolant Pump Malfunction and implement Section E1, Seal Failure. The SRO should direct the BOP to lower Controlled Bleed off temperature by lowering Component Cooling Water temperature.
After the crew is in Section E1 of OP-901-130 AND the BOP has adjusted Component Cooling Water Temperature, PZR level instrument, RC-ILI-0110X, fails low. The crew will implement OP-901-110, Pressurizer Level Control malfunction and select the non-faulted channel and reenergize Pressurizer heaters. The SRO should review Technical Specifications 3.3.3.5 and 3.3.3.6 and OP-903-013, Monthly Channel Checks, and determine that Technical Specification 3.3.3.5 action a is applicable and the channel needs to be restored within 7 days. The SRO should determine that Technical Specification 3.3.3.6 is not applicable as long as QSPDS channel for Pressurizer level is credited in accordance with OP-903-013, Monthly Channel Checks.
Once the SRO has addressed Technical Specifications, Reactor Coolant Pump 1A sustains a locked rotor and low Reactor Coolant flow bistables actuate. The Reactor Protection System fails to open the required Reactor Trip Breakers and an ATWS condition exists. The ATC should recognize that an automatic protection system has failed to occur and manually trip the reactor by depressing both Reactor Trip pushbuttons (A and D) on CP-2 (CRITICAL TASK 1). The Reactor will be successfully tripped from the RTGB and the crew will enter OP-902-000, Standard Post Trip Actions.
While the crew is performing Standard Post Trip Actions (RCS Heat Removal checks), a Loss of Coolant Accident will occur inside Containment. Safety Injection, Containment Isolation, and Containment Spray will all actuate. The ATC should secure all running Reactor Coolant Pumps when Containment Spray Actuates. When Containment Spray actuates, CS-125A (CS Pump A Discharge valve) fails to open and cannot be opened from the RTGB or locally as it is mechanically stuck. This will result in Containment Spray Pump B as the only source of Containment Spray. The crew should enter OP-902-009, Standard Appendices Appendix 1, Diagnostic Flowchart and diagnose to OP-902-002, Loss of Coolant Accident Recovery.
Once the crew has entered OP-902-002, Containment Spray Pump B will trip and will not be able to be restarted. The crew should determine that Containment isolation and Containment Pressure and Temperature Control Safety Functions are not being met and diagnose into OP-902-008, Functional Recovery. The SRO should prioritize Containment Isolation first due to CS-125B being open and Containment Pressure and Temperature Control second. The crew will perform steps in OP-902-008, Functional Recovery and align the LPSI pump B to replace CS Pump B to establish Containment Temperature and Pressure Control (CRITICAL TASK 2).
The scenario can be terminated after the established Containment Spray flow from the Low Pressure Safety Injection Pump or at the lead examiners discretion.
NRC Scenario 3 2014 NRC Exam Scenario 3 D-1 Rev 0 CRITICAL TASKS
