Turnover:

Unit 1 is at 50% power at the BOL. 1A CA pump has been tagged out for annual PMs. 1A CA pump has been inoperable for 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> and is expected to be returned to service in 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />. 1A ND pump is tagged out for performance of electrical testing. 1A ND pump has been inoperable for 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> and is expected to be returned to service in 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />. Direction for the crew is to begin power increase to 100% power.

Event 1 Crew will use the provided reactivity plan to begin a power increase to 100%. RO will input desired target and load rate into the turbine control panel. BOP will perform a dilution per the reactivity plan. RO may withdraw rods to increase temperature. RO will place the turbine in GO to initiate load increase.

Event 2 N41 control power will be lost. Crew will enter AP/1/A/5500/016 (Malfunction of Nuclear Instrumentation System)

Case IV (Power Range Malfunction) to remove the failed NI from service.

Verifiable Action - BOP will remove N41 from service from the NI racks in the back of the control room.

Event 3 2A RN pump will trip. Crew will enter AP/0/A/5500/020 (Loss of Nuclear Service Water) Case I (Loss of RN train) to start another RN pump.

Verifiable Action - BOP will be required to start an RN pump to supply flow to loads presently in service.

Event 4 Turbine bearing high vibration alarm is received. Per the annunciator response procedure, a turbine trip will be required. Crew will enter AP/1/A/5500/002 (Turbine Trip) to address the turbine trip.

Verifiable Action - OATC will have to manually trip the main turbine to prevent further damage.

Event 5 Following the turbine trip, the control rods fail to move in auto. This will require manual rod insertion by the RO per the immediate actions of AP/1/A/5500/002. The crew may further address rod control issue using AP/1/A/5000/015 (Rod Control Malfunction).

Verifiable Action - OATC will manually insert control rods to maintain Tavg within 1°F of Tref.

Event 6 A large break LOCA occurs. Crew will enter EP/1/A/5000/E-0 (Reactor Trip) to diagnose and address the LOCA.

Verifiable Action - The crew members will be required to trip the NC pumps on loss of subcooling. The OATC will have to control feed flows to maintain S/G levels.

Event 7 Following the reactor trip, the running KC pump will trip and the remaining KC pumps will fail to auto start on the Safety Injection signal. This will require the BOP to start the 3 remaining KC pumps to supply KC loads that are in service.

Verifiable Action - The BOP will be required to reset S/I and the D/G load sequencers and start the 3 available KC pumps.

Event 8 Following the Main Steam Isolation signal generated by Hi/Hi containment pressure, 1SM-5 (1B Main Steam Isolation Valve) will fail to auto close, requiring the RO to manually close it.

Verifiable Action - The OATC will manually close 1SM-5.

NOTE TO EVALUATOR: The critical part of this step is just for the crew to address starting the FWST makeup. This can be accomplished by the SRO stating that he would get a Unit 2 operator to perform the makeup. It is not intended to allow the crew to perform this makeup due to there being several options of sources of makeup, long calculations to perform, and system manipulations that are required to be made by AOs outside the control room. At lead evaluator discretion, if the crew begins to perform this makeup themselves, the following cue may be given - The Unit 2 BOP will perform the FWST makeup per OP/1/A/6200/014.

b. Verify MSIVs on all intact S/Gs - OPEN NOTE TO EVALUATOR: It is possible if CAPT #1 is running that another Main Steam Isolation could occur when opening the MSIV bypass valves in the following steps. If this happens, the crew will have to reset the MSI signal again or use the S/G PORVs when performing the cooldown. The crew will not be able to begin the actual cooldown during this scenario due to reactor coolant temperatures having decreased to approximately 265°F.

The cooldown limit is < 100°F/hour and includes any cooldown up to that point.

Catawba Nuclear Station NRC Exam May 2015 Appendix D Scenario Outline Form ES-D-1 Scenario 2 - Summary Initial Condition Unit 1 is at 17% power at the EOL. Unit 2 is at 100% power.

Turnover:

Unit 1 is at 17% power at the EOL with a Unit shutdown in progress for a refueling outage. 1A CA pump has been tagged out for annual PMs. 1A CA pump has been inoperable for 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> and is expected to be returned to service in 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />. 1A ND pump is tagged out for performance of electrical testing. 1A ND pump has been inoperable for 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> and is expected to be returned to service in 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />. Direction for the crew is to begin power decrease to ~15%

power at 10%/hour and to swap Main Feedwater to the CA nozzles per OP/1/A/6100/002 (Controlling Procedure for Unit Shutdown) Enclosure 4.1 (Unit Shutdown to Mode 3) step 3.6.

Event 1 Crew will use the provided reactivity plan to begin a power decrease to ~15% power in preparation for swapping main Feedwater to the CA nozzles. BOP will perform a boration per the reactivity plan. RO will input a target and load rate into the turbine control panel and place the turbine in GO to commence power decrease. BOP will swap Feedwater to the CA nozzles per OP/1/A/6100/002 Enclosure 4.1.

Event 2 1TL-3 (Steam Seal Reg Valve) will fail closed. This will cause Steam seal header pressure to decrease to a point that main condenser vacuum will begin to decrease. Crew can adjust 1TL-4 (Stm Seal Reg Byp) to increase steam seal pressure and recover main condenser vacuum. Crew may refer to AP/1/A/5500/023 (Loss of Condenser Vacuum) for guidance on restoring main condenser vacuum.

Verifiable Action - OATC will be required to throttle open 1TL-4 to increase steam seal pressure and recover condenser vacuum.

Event 3 N35 will lose power. Crew will enter AP/1/A/5500/016 (Malfunction of Nuclear Instrumentation System) Case III (Intermediate Range Malfunction) to remove the failed NI from service. If this is not done, and reactor power decreases to < 10%, the reactor will trip on Intermediate Range Hi Flux.

Verifiable Action - BOP will be required to remove N35 and N31 from service from the NI racks in the rear of the control room.

Event 4 FWST level channel 1 will fail low. This will require a Tech Spec call from the CRS.

Event 5 NCP 1C #1 seal will fail. Crew will enter AP/1/A/5500/008 (Malfunction of Reactor Coolant Pump) to address the seal failure. A reactor trip will be required, followed by trip of the 1C NCP.

Verifiable Action - The OATC will have to trip the reactor. When reactor power is < 5%, the BOP will trip the 1C NCP and close 1C NCP seal return isolation valve.

Event 6 Following the reactor trip and transition to ES-0.1, a Steam Generator Tube rupture will occur on 1A S/G.

Verifiable Action - The BOP will be required to manually initiate S/I due to not being able to maintain Pressurizer Level > 4%.

Catawba Nuclear Station NRC Exam May 2015 Appendix D Scenario Outline Form ES-D-1 Scenario 2 - Summary (cont.)

Event 7 Both trains of Phase A containment isolation will fail to actuate on the Safety Injection, requiring the BOP to manually initiate.

Verifiable Action - The BOP will be required to initiate both trains of Phase A (St) Containment Isolation.

Event 8 Both trains of CF Isolation fail to actuate on the reactor trip and Safety Injection, requiring the RO to manually initiate.

Verifiable Action - The OATC will be required to initiate both trains of CF Isolation.

Critical Task 1 - Isolate Feedwater into and steam flow from ruptured S/G before a transition to ECA-3.1 occurs.

Critical Task 2 - Establish/maintain an RCS temperature so that transition from E-3 does not occur because the RCS temperature is in either of the following conditions:

  • Too high to maintain the minimum required subcooling
  • Below the RCS temperature that causes an extreme (red-path) or a severe (orange-path) challenge to the subcriticality and/or integrity status tree.

Critical Task 3 - Depressurize RCS to meet SI termination criteria before water release occurs from the ruptured S/G PORV or safety.
