Note:

1.

Ensure that at least two topics from every applicable K/A 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 K/A 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/evolutions that are not included on the outline should be added. Refer to Section D.1.b of ES-401 for guidance regarding the elimination of inappropriate K/A 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 K/As 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 K/A categories.

7.* The generic (G) K/As in Tiers 1 and 2 shall be selected from Section 2 of the K/A 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 K/As.

8. On the following pages, enter the K/A numbers, a brief description of each topic, the topics importance ratings (IRs) 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 K/A catalog, and enter the K/A numbers, descriptions, IRs, and point totals (#) on Form ES-401-3. Limit SRO selections to K/As that are linked to 10 CFR 55.43.

Rev. 0 STP LOT-20 NRC Scenario #3 Description Initial Conditions: Unit 1 being returned to service after a forced 7 day outage. Reactor power is currently at 10-8 AMPs and stable. After the Reactor was taken critical, HHSI & LHSI Pumps 1B and ECW Pump 1B were taken out of service to repair an issue with the breakers. Expected return to service is 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />. The crew is to continue raising power per 0POP03-ZG-0004, Reactor Startup, Step 6.32 and be prepared to enter Mode 1 as soon as the breakers are returned to service. CW Pump #14 is removed form service for maintenance. SU MFWP #14 is in service.

Lineups are being performed on SGFPT #11 so that warmup of the pump can begin. Lineups have not been started yet for SGFPTs #12 and #13.

Event 1: The crew will take the Reactor from 10-8 AMPs to 3% to 4% power using 0POP04-ZG-0004, Reactor Startup, and 0POP03-ZG-0005, Plant Startup to 100% Power.

Event 2: SG 1D controlling NR channel, LT-0549, will fail low causing the LPFRV for SG 1D to open. The crew will respond using 0POP04-FW-0001, Loss of Steam Generator Level Control. The SRO will address Tech Spec implications.

Event 3: ECW Pump 1C will trip on over current. The crew will respond using.0POP09-AN-02M4, annunciator C-7, ECW PUMP 1C TRIP. The SRO will address Tech Spec implications.

Event 4: SU SGFP #14 will trip on over current. A SGFPT will not be available yet. The crew will respond using 0POP04-FW-0002, Steam Generator Feed Pump Turbine Trip, to put AFW in service. AFW Pump #12 will not start. The crew will have to cross connect to feed SG 1B. The SRO will address Tech Spec implications.

Event 5: PZR PORV RC-PSV-0655A fails open. The valve will not manually. When operators try to close the block valve, RC-MOV-0001, the block valve will not close. This creates a SBLOCA on PZR and a Reactor Trip and Safety Injection are required. The crew will respond using 0POP05-EO-EO00, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection. RCS pressure will lower below the RCP trip criteria. (Critical Task)

Event 6: Train B of Phase A will fail to actuate. CV-MOV-0023, normal letdown ICIV, fails to close. This creates a penetration that is not isolated. The crew will use 0POP05-EO-EO00, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection, Addendum 5 to ensure the penetration is isolated by performing a manual CVI to actuate the Train B valves.

Event 7: During the SBLOCA, there will be a lockout on 13.8 KV Standby Bus 1F. The sequencer will strip Class 1E 4.16 KV Bus E1A and perform a Mode 3 sequence. During the sequencing of Train A loads. ECW Pump 1A will fail to auto start. The crew will have to manually start ECW Pump 1A. (Critical Task)

Rev. 0 STP LOT-20 NRC Scenario #3 Description Termination: The scenario will be terminated after the crew has manually started ECW Pump 1A and 0POP05-EO-EO10, Loss of Reactor or Secondary Coolant, has been properly exercised.

Critical Tasks:

  • Trip all RCPs so that CET temperatures do not become superheated when forced circulation in the RCS stops. NOTE: Within 5 minutes of reaching the RCP trip criteria.
  • Manually start at least one ECW Pump (ECW Pump 1A) prior to the associated EDG tripping.

The crew is to continue raising power per 0POP03-ZG-0004, Reactor Startup, Step 6.32 and be prepared to enter Mode 1 as soon as the breakers are returned to service. CW Pump #14 is removed form service for maintenance. SU MFWP #14 is in service.

Lineups are being performed on SGFPT #11 so that warmup of the pump can begin. Lineups have not been started yet for SGFPTs #12 and #13.

Event 1: The crew will take the Reactor from 10-8 AMPs to 3% to 4% power using 0POP04-ZG-0004, Reactor Startup, and 0POP03-ZG-0005, Plant Startup to 100% Power.

Event 2: SG 1D controlling NR channel, LT-0549, will fail low causing the LPFRV for SG 1D to open. The crew will respond using 0POP04-FW-0001, Loss of Steam Generator Level Control. The SRO will address Tech Spec implications.

Event 3: ECW Pump 1C will trip on over current. The crew will respond using.0POP09-AN-02M4, annunciator C-7, ECW PUMP 1C TRIP. The SRO will address Tech Spec implications.

Event 4: SU SGFP #14 will trip on over current. A SGFPT will not be available yet. The crew will respond using 0POP04-FW-0002, Steam Generator Feed Pump Turbine Trip, to put AFW in service. AFW Pump #12 will not start. The crew will have to cross connect to feed SG 1B. The SRO will address Tech Spec implications.

Event 5: PZR PORV RC-PSV-0655A fails open. The valve will not manually. When operators try to close the block valve, RC-MOV-0001, the block valve will not close. This creates a SBLOCA on PZR and a Reactor Trip and Safety Injection are required. The crew will respond using 0POP05-EO-EO00, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection. RCS pressure will lower below the RCP trip criteria. (Critical Task)

Event 6: Train B of Phase A will fail to actuate. CV-MOV-0023, normal letdown ICIV, fails to close. This creates a penetration that is not isolated. The crew will use 0POP05-EO-EO00, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection, Addendum 5 to ensure the penetration is isolated by performing a manual CVI to actuate the Train B valves.

Event 7: During the SBLOCA, there will be a lockout on 13.8 KV Standby Bus 1F. The sequencer will strip Class 1E 4.16 KV Bus E1A and perform a Mode 3 sequence. During the sequencing of Train A loads. ECW Pump 1A will fail to auto start. The crew will have to manually start ECW Pump 1A. (Critical Task)

Rev. 0 STP LOT-20 NRC Scenario #3 Description Termination: The scenario will be terminated after the crew has manually started ECW Pump 1A and 0POP05-EO-EO10, Loss of Reactor or Secondary Coolant, has been properly exercised.

Critical Tasks:

  • Trip all RCPs so that CET temperatures do not become superheated when forced circulation in the RCS stops. NOTE: Within 5 minutes of reaching the RCP trip criteria.
  • Manually start at least one ECW Pump (ECW Pump 1A) prior to the associated EDG tripping.
