2015 NRC Exam Scenario 1, Rev.0 SEG Page 26 of 29 SIMULATOR EXERCISE GUIDE SCENARIO INSTRUCTIONS CT-1 Manually trip the reactor Critical Task:
Manually trip the reactor from the control room using the second set of push buttons prior to the containment pressure reaching 15 psig.
Plant Conditions:
- Reactor greater than 5% power
- High Containment Pressure should cause an automatic reactor trip but the trip breakers are failed to auto open.
- Reactor can be tripped from the control room with second set of pushbuttons only.
Cues:
- Indication and/or annunciation that Safety Injection has actuated with no reactor trip.
Performance Indicator:
Manipulation of second set of reactor trip pushbuttons o At least one set of Reactor trip and bypass breakers indicate open Feedback:
Indications of reactor trip
- Control rods at bottom of core Neutron flux decreasing Basis:
SAFETY SIGNIFICANCE - Failure to manually trip the reactor causes a challenge to the subcriticality CSF beyond that irreparably introduced by the postulated conditions. Additionally it constitutes an incorrect performance that necessitates the taking compensating action which would complicated the event mitigation strategy and also demonstrates the inability of the crew to recognize a failure or an incorrect automatic actuation of an ESF system or component. The postulated event is a steam line break in containment, failure to active the ESF systems will cause a challenge to containment.
2015 NRC Exam Scenario 1, Rev.0 SEG Page 27 of 29 CT-17 Isolate faulted SG Critical Task:
Isolate the faulted Steam Generator before transition out of EOP-2.
Plant Conditions:
Faulted Steam Generator Cues:
Indication and/or annunciation that the following is occurring:
Steam pressure and flow rate indications that make it possible to identify a single SG as faulted AND Valve position and flow rate indication that MFW continues to be delivered to the faulted SG Valve position and flow rate indication that AFW continues to be delivered to the faulted SG Performance Indicator:
Manipulation of controls as required to isolate the faulted SG MSIVs indicate closed Indication of feedline isolation o
Main feed pumps indicate tripped Indication that AFW flow to the faulted SG is stopped o
AFW flow control valves for faulted SG indicate closed Feedback:
Any depressurization of intact SGs stops Steam flow indication from faulted SG decreases to zero RCS cooldown stops Main feedwater flow rate indication of zero AFW flow rate indication to faulted SG of zero Basis:
SAFETY SIGNIFICANCE - Failure to isolate a faulted SG that can be isolated causes challenges to CSFs beyond those irreparably introduced by the postulated conditions. Also, depending upon plant conditions, it could constitute a failure by the crew to "demonstrate the ability to recognize a failure or an incorrect automatic actuation of an ESF system or component."
Failure to isolate a faulted SG can result in challenges to the following CSFs:

Isolate feedwater flow into and steam flow from ruptured S/G before a transition to ECA-3.1 Plant Conditions:
- SI Cues:
- Indication and/or annunciation of SGTR in one S/G Increasing S/G water level radiation AND
- Indication and/or annunciation of reactor trip AND
- Indication and/or annunciation of SI Performance Indicator:
Manipulation of controls as required to isolate the ruptured S/G
- Main steam isolation valve position lamps indicate closed
- S/G Atmospheric dump controller set at 1050 psig
- Blowdown isolation valve position lamps indicate closed
- Steam isolation valve to TDAFW pump position lamps indicate closed
- AFW valve position lamps and/or indicators indicate closed
- Feedwater isolation valve position lamps indicated closed Feedback:
- Indication of stable or increasing pressure in the ruptured S/G
- Indication of decreasing or zero feedwater flow rate in the ruptured S/G Basis:
SAFETY SIGNIFICANCE - Failure to isolate the ruptured SG causes a loss of differential pressure between the ruptured SG and the intact SG. The fact that the crew allows the differential pressure to dissipate and, as a result, are then forced to transition to a contingency ERG constitutes an incorrect performance that "necessitates the crew taking compensating action that would complicate the event mitigation strategy..."
2015 NRC Exam Scenario 2, Rev. 0 SEG Page 26 of 28 CT-20 Depressurize RCS to E-3 SI termination criteria Critical Task:
Depressurize the RCS to meet the SI termination criteria in order to prevent steam release from the ruptured steam generator beyond 30 minutes.

- RCS cooldown to target temperature completed Cues:
- Indication and/or annunciation of SGTR in one S/G Increasing S/G water level Radiation AND o Indication and/or annunciation of reactor trip and SI AND o Indication that the RCS is cooled down to the target temperature Performance Indicator:
Manipulation of controls as required to depressurize the RCS
- Valve position lamps show PZR spray valve or PZR PORV open Feedback:
- Indication of RCS pressure decreasing
- Indication of PZR level increasing Basis:
SAFETY SIGNIFICANCE - Failure to stop reactor coolant leakage into a ruptured SG by depressurizing the RCS (when it is possible to do so) needlessly complicates mitigation of the event. It also constitutes a "significant reduction of safety margin beyond that irreparably introduced by the scenario".
Notes:
- 30 minutes is the FSAR assumption beyond which steam release does not occur for a design basis SGTR event. This is to meet assumptions for dose analysis. Reference FSAR 14.2.4.
- Simulator booth operator will need to monitor the position of the ruptured S/G atmospheric dump valve to ensure it remains closed >30 minutes from time of trip.

A Pzr PORV that is open.
RCS pressure is less than 2335 psig.
1RC-515, T-1 PZR RC-431C Power Operated Relief Isolation valve can be manually shut.
Cues:
Valve position indication and/or annunciation that the Pzr PORV is open, even after attempts to close it manually from the control room AND Indication and/or annunciation of decreasing RCS pressure AND Indication and/or annunciation consistent with the discharge of Pzr fluid to the PRT o
PRT temperature, level, and pressure o
Tailpipe RTDs Performance Indicator:
Manipulation of controls, as required, to close the block MOV for the stuck open Pzr PORV Valve position indication that the block MOV upstream of the stuck open Pzr PORV is closed Feedback:
Valve position indication that the block MOV upstream of the stuck open Pzr PORV is closed.
Basis:
SAFETY SIGNIFICANCE - Closing the block MOV under the postulated plant conditions constitutes a task that "is essential to safety," because "its improper performance or omission by an operator will result in direct adverse consequences or significant degradation in the mitigative capability of the plant." In particular, the crew has failed to prevent "degradation of any barrier to fission product release." In this case, the RCS fission product barrier can be restored to full integrity simply by closing the block MOV. Therefore, failure to close the MOV also represents a failure by the crew to "take one or more actions that would prevent a challenge to plant safety."
Degradation of the RCS fission product barrier is not initiated by operator action. However, the crew's failure to close the block MOV results in unnecessary continuation of the degraded condition of the RCS barrier.
2015 NRC Exam Scenario 3, Rev. 0 SEG Page 23 of 25 CT-43 Establish feedwater flow to SG(s) before bleed and feed is required Critical Task:
Establish feedwater flow into at least one SG before RCS bleed and feed is required.
Plant Conditions:
Extreme (RED path) challenge to the heat sink CSF Plant conditions require SGs as heat sinks At least one SI pump is available AFW flow is not sufficient and cannot be increased Feedwater flow is available but not established from any of the following:
o Main feedwater pumps o
Condensate pumps Indication that RCS bleed and feed is not required Reactor trip and SI Cues:
Extreme (RED path) challenge to the heat sink CSF AND Indication that RCS pressure remains above the pressure of all SGs AND Indication that RCS temperature is above the temperature for placing the RHR system in service AND Indication that at least one SI pump is available AND Indication and/or annunciation that no AFW flow is available after repeated attempts to establish AND Level indication that SG dryout has not yet occurred Performance Indicator:
Manipulation of controls as required establishing feedwater flow into at least one SG Feedback:
Indication of feedwater flow into at least one SG Indication of increasing water level in at least one SG Basis:
SAFETY SIGNIFICANCE - Failure to establish feedwater flow to any SG results in the crew's having to rely upon the lower-priority action of establishing RCS bleed and feed to minimize core uncovery. This constitutes incorrect performance that fails to prevent "degradation of any barrier to fission product release."
Thus, when the crew fails to simply establish available feedwater flow (as it could, given the postulated plant conditions) before SG dryout occurs, it "necessitates the crew taking compensatory action that would complicate the event mitigation strategy."
