Event 2 The next event is a trip of Component Cooling Water Pump 1-01, with a failure of the standby pump (CCW Pump 1-02) to automatically start . The crew will enter ABN-502, Section 2.0, CCW Pump Trip, and manually start CCW Pump 1-02, per Step 1 RNO. The SRO will refer to Technical Specifications for this malfunction.
Event 3 The operating CRDM vent fan trips. The crew will refer to 1-ALB-3A, Window 1.6, CRDM SHROUD EXH TEMP HI, and ensure that at least one CRDM vent fan is in service, and manually start an alternate vent fan, per SOP-801A. They will use either Section 5.3.1, Control Rod Drive Mechanism Ventilation System Startup, or Section 5.3.3, Alternating Control Rod Drive Mechanism Ventilation Fans, for this evolution.
Event 4 The next event is a failure of Cold Leg Loop 1 NR Temperature Transmitter (TE-411B). It will fail high (630°F).
Operator actions are per ABN-704, Tc/N-16 Instrumentation Malfunction, and requires taking manual control of rods, since the Tc failure results in a higher Tave and rods will be inserting in auto. The SRO will refer to Technical Specifications.
Event 5 The next event is the precursor to the major event and involves high shaft vibration of Reactor Coolant Pump 1-
- 03. This malfunction ramps in over a period of 5 minutes, allowing the crew time to evaluate and enter ABN-101, Section 6.0, Excessive Reactor Coolant Pump Vibration. Alarm 1-ALB-5B, Window 3.5, RCP 3 VIBR HI will come in (setpoint is 15 mils shaft vibration). Bearing temperatures and amps will continue to rise as the condition worsens. As this progresses the crew will recognize that trip criteria will be exceeded. The crew then trips the reactor and enters to EOP-0.0A.
Event 6 When the reactor is tripped, a SBLOCA occurs in RCS Loop 3 of 1500 gpm. The crew will progress through EOP-0.0A, and then transition to EOP-1.0A, Loss of Reactor or Secondary Coolant. Adverse Containment Conditions will apply at some point as containment pressure rises due to the LOCA.
Event 7 This scenario is complicated by the automatic failure of both trains of Safety Injection to actuate. Manual actuation of both trains will be successful.
Event 8 Once SI has been reset, a Safeguard Bus 1EA1 lockout (86-2) occurs. The bus will reenergize from the Emergency Diesel Generator and all loads will properly sequence on with the exception of CCP 1-01. With CCP 1-02 tagged out, as given in the turnover conditions, high head injection is not established. To satisfy the Critical Task of establishing at least one train of high head injection, the operator will start CCP 1-01.
The crew will transition to EOS-1.2A, Post LOCA Cooldown and Depressurization, and begin the required cooldown. The scenario will be terminated approximately 5 minutes after the cooldown is commenced.

SCENARIO 2
SUMMARY
Event 1 In accordance with turnover instructions, crew begins raising power to 6% to 8%, per IPO-003A, Power Operations.
Event 2 The next event is that Centrifugal Charging Pump 1-01 trips. The crew will enter ABN-105, Section 3.0, Charging Pump Trip; and per the first step, will manually start CCP 1-02 since it did not automatically start. The SRO will refer to Technical Specification and the Technical Requirements Manual.
Event 3 The next event involves a failure of Pressurizer Pressure Channel PT-455 failing high. The crew will enter ABN-705, Pressurizer Pressure Malfunction, Section 2.0, Pressurizer Pressure Instrument Malfunction. Per the Automatic Actions section, the associated PORV will open and then reclose at control setpoint (2185 psig). The operator will place 1-PK-455A, Master Pressurizer Pressure Controller in manual and control PZR pressure. The SRO will refer to Technical Specification.
Event 4 Once Pressurizer pressure control has been restored to automatic, Main Feedwater Pump 1-01 trips. The crew enters ABN-302, Section 2.0, Feedwater Pump Trip. Since the unit is less than 700 MWe, the operator will not expect a turbine runback to occur. MDAFW Pump 1-02 auto starts, and then trips, requiring manual start of the Turbine Driven AFW pump. The SRO will refer to Technical Specifications.
Event 5 When the Unit is stable once again, Shutdown Bank A will drop fully into the core. The reactor is manually tripped. The crew will enter EOP-0.0A, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection, and transition to EOS-0.1A, Reactor Trip Response.
Event 6 After the crew has begun EOS-0.1A, Reactor Trip Response, a Loss of Offsite Power occurs. In conjunction with the Loss of Offsite Power, Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) 1-01 will fail to start and EDG 1-02 will fail to automatically start. The crew will then transition to ECA-0.0A, Loss of All AC Power. Letdown will be isolated as a Critical Task for isolating leakage paths. Power is subsequently restored in ECA-0.0A, via manual start of EDG 1-02.
Event 7 After returning to EOS-0.1A, the event is once again complicated by initiation of a Main Steamline Break on SG 1-02 main steam line inside containment. The crew will transition back to EOP-0.0A, and then transition to EOP-2.0A, Faulted Steam Generator isolation. These actions will be performed, and when completed, the crew will terminate Safety Injection in accordance with EOS-1.1A, Safety Injection Termination. The scenario will be terminated at this point.

SCENARIO 3
SUMMARY
Event 1 The first event is failure high of NI42 Power Range Channel. The crew will enter ABN-703, Power Range Instrumentation Malfunction. Since the failure is in the high direction, rods will be rapidly inserting. This will require the operator to place rod control to Manual, per Step 1.b of ABN-703. The SRO will refer to Technical Specifications.
Event 2 The next event is initiation of a leak in the Turbine Plant Cooling Water system at 15 gpm. The normal makeup valve (1-HS-3050 Makeup Valve) fails to auto open. Requires manual makeup, as directed by 1-ALB-9A, Window 2.10, TPCW HEAD TK LVL LO. This manual makeup operation will be successful, and alarm will clear as level restores.
Event 3 Once the TPCW Head Tank level is restored, the next event is a low failure of PZR LT-460. This failure causes letdown to isolate and a loss of the pressurizer heaters. The crew will enter ABN-706, Section 2.0, Pressurizer Level Instrument Malfunction, and per Step 1 and 2, manually control PZR level and reenergize PZR heaters.
The SRO will refer to Technical Specifications.
Event 4 The operating Condenser Exhaust Vacuum (CEV) pump trips. The crew will observe megawatts lowering and condenser vacuum lowering. They will also receive an alarm (1-ALB-9A, Window 1.12, CNDSR ANY VAC PMP TRIP, for the actual trip of the vacuum pump. They will also enter ABN-304, Section 3.0, Main or Auxiliary Condenser vacuum Decreasing, and manually start the alternate CEV pump. The crew may slightly reduce turbine load.
Event 5 A tube leak (10 gpm) will develop on SG 1-02. The crew will enter ABN-106, Section 3.0, Steam Generator Tube Leakage Greater than or equal to 75 gpd (0.52 gpm). They will recognize per the procedure, that a reduction in power is required. This evolution is intended to satisfy the reactivity manipulation requirement and normal evolution for this scenario. The SRO will refer to Technical Specifications.
Event 6 As the power reduction progresses, the tube leak on SG 1-02 worsens to a tube rupture event. The crew will recognize the change in leakage and conclude that a manual reactor trip is warranted. The reactor will be manually trippred, but the turbine will fail to auto trip. The crew enters EOP-0.0A, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection.
Event 7 The Main Turbine fails to auto trip. The Manual trip is NOT successful. This will require the operator to place the EHC pumps to PULL OUT, per Immediate Action Step 2, RNO.
Event 8 When safety injection is actuated in response to the SG Tube Rupture SI Pump 1-01 will fail to auto start. The operator performing EOP-0.0A, Attachment 2 should start the pump. The crew will continue through EOP-0.0A, and transition EOP-3.0A, Steam Generator Tube Rupture. When the ruptured Steam Generator 1-02 is isolated, including stopping Auxiliary Feedwater flow, the scenario can be terminated.
