PVNGS 2016 NRC RO Admin JPM Outline ES-301-1 Rev 1

Administrative Topics Outline Task Summary A1 The applicant is provided with indicated Pressurizer level from three level instruments as well as current RCS temperature and pressure. The applicant will compare the data to graphs with a variety of data lines which they will use to interpolate the actual Pressurizer level per 40OP-9ZZ01, Cold Shutdown to Hot Standby Mode 5 to Mode 3. The applicant will then compare the three values to determine if reference leg backfills are required. This is a bank JPM.

A2 The applicant will use 01DP-0IS13, Palo Verde Electrical Safe Work Practices, to evaluate a series of matrices listing a variety of electrical evolutions and voltage ranges and their corresponding safety requirements. This is a modified JPM. The bank version of this JPM uses a 4.16kV breaker and this JPM was changed to a 480V breaker. Both the flash protection boundary and the minimum required EPE are different from the original JPM.

A3 The applicant is provided a list of indicated values for PPS related parameters which they will use to determine the maximum deviations between any two channels, and determine if the deviations are within the listed acceptance values per 40ST-9ZZM1, Operations Mode 1 Surveillances. This is a new JPM.

A4 The applicant is provided a drawing with sets of valves (both upstream and downstream) which could be used to isolate a valve that has a point source hot spot. The applicant will utilize the curie-meter rem rule and point source equations to determine total expected dose for each possible isolation and select the isolation resulting in the lowest dose. This is a modified bank JPM. JPM was modified by changing the distances of the potential isolations from the valve to be isolated resulting in a different answer than the original JPM.

Answer explanation:

RCA-LI-110X:

y = y0 + (y1 - y0)((x-x0)/(x1-x0))

y = 30% + (34% - 30%)((200°F - 70°F)/(467°F - 70°F))

y = 31.3%

2016 PVNGS NRC Initial Exam JPM A1 Rev 1 Step: 4

IF ANY of the following Pressurizer level instruments deviated greater than 3%

Proc Step: W.9.9 between each other:

RCA-LI-110X RCB-LI-110Y RCN-LI-103 THEN direct I&C to fill reference legs to Pressurizer level instrumentation.

Standard: Determined the maximum deviation to be greater than 3% and that filling reference legs IS required.

Answer explanation:

RCN-LI-103 highest acceptable answer is 27.8% and lowest acceptable answer from RCB=LI-110Y is 32.0%.

32.0% - 27.8% = 4.2%, which is greater than 3%, therefore filling reference legs IS required.

2016 PVNGS NRC Initial Exam JPM A4 Rev 1 JPM START TIME:

JPM Step: 1

Determine the dose rate at 1 meter from HV-5.

Standard: Determined the dose rate 1 meter from HV-5 is 5 rem/hr.

Answer Explanation:

1 Ci = 1 rem/hr @ 1 meter, therefore 5 Ci = 5 rem/hr @ 1 meter.

Comments (required for UNSAT):

SAT UNSAT Step: 2

Determine the dose rates at HV-4.

Standard: Determined the dose rates at HV-4 to be 313 mrem/hr.

Answer Explanation:

(Dose Rate 1)(Distance 1)2 = (Dose Rate 2)(Distance 2)2 (5 rem/hr)(1 meter)2 = (Dose Rate 2)(4 meters)2 Dose Rate 2 = (5 rem/hr)(1 meter2) / (16 meters2)

SAT UNSAT

2016 PVNGS NRC Initial Exam JPM A4 Rev 1 Step: 3

Determine the dose rates at HV-1, HV-2, and HV-3.

Standard: Determined the dose rates at HV-1, HV-2, and HV-3 to be 139 mrem/hr for a total effective dose rate of 417 mrem/hr.

Answer Explanation:

(Dose Rate 1)(Distance 1)2 = (Dose Rate 2)(Distance 2)2 (5 rem/hr)(1 meter)2 = (Dose Rate 2)(6 meters)2 Dose Rate 2 = (5 rem/hr)(1 meter2) / (36 meters2)

Dose Rate 2 = 139 mrem/hr Since 3 valves must be tagged, the effective dose rate is 417 mrem/hr Comments (required for UNSAT):

SAT UNSAT Step: 4

Determine the dose rates at HV-6.

Standard: Determined the dose rates at HV-6 to be 200 mrem/hr.

Answer Explanation:

(Dose Rate 1)(Distance 1)2 = (Dose Rate 2)(Distance 2)2 (5 rem/hr)(1 meter)2 = (Dose Rate 2)(5 meters)2 Dose Rate 2 = (5 rem/hr)(1 meter2) / (25 meters2)

Dose Rate 2 = 200 mrem/hr Comments (required for UNSAT):

SAT UNSAT

2016 PVNGS NRC Initial Exam JPM A4 Rev 1 Step: 5

Determine the dose rates at HV-7 and HV-8.

Standard: Determined the dose rates at HV-7 and HV-8 to be 156 mrem/hr.

Answer Explanation:

(Dose Rate 1)(Distance 1)2 = (Dose Rate 2)(Distance 2)2 (5 rem/hr)(1 meter)2 = (Dose Rate 2)(8 meters)2 Dose Rate 2 = (5 rem/hr)(1 meter2) / (64 meters2)

Dose Rate 2 = 78 mrem/hr Since 2 valves must be tagged, the effective dose rate is 156 mrem/hr.

Comments (required for UNSAT):

SAT UNSAT Step: 6

2016 PVNGS NRC Initial Exam JPM A5 Rev 1 JPM START TIME:

JPM Step: 1

Determine if Operator # 1 license is active on April 1.

Proc Step: N/A Standard: Determined that Operator # 1s license IS active on April 1.

Answer Explanation:

An SRO license is considered active if they stand a minimum of five 12-hour shifts in the previous quarter. Per step 4.2.2 of 40DP-9OP02, Conduct of Shift Operations, at least one of those shifts must be in the CRS or SM position, however the other 4 shifts can be in a TS required RO position, therefore the SRO license remains active.

Comments (required for UNSAT):

SAT UNSAT JPM Step: 2

Determine if Operator # 2s license is active on April 1.

Proc Step: N/A Standard: Determined that Operator # 2s license IS NOT active on April 1.

Answer Explanation:

An RO license is considered active if they stand a minimum of five 12-hour shifts in the RO or CO position in the previous quarter. While Operator # 2 completed 60 hours6.944444e-4 days 0.0167 hours 9.920635e-5 weeks 2.283e-5 months in the RO and CO position, partial shifts cannot be credited (per step 4.2.2 bullet 5), therefore, even though the 60 hours6.944444e-4 days 0.0167 hours 9.920635e-5 weeks 2.283e-5 months were met, the requirement for five 12-hour shifts was not, making the RO license inactive as of April 1.

Determine if Operator # 3s license is active on April 1.

Proc Step: N/A Standard: Determined that Operator # 3s license IS NOT active on April 1.

Answer Explanation:

Operator # 3 stood five 12-hour shifts, and at least one of those (4 actually) was in the RO position, however the allowance for SROs to stand an RO or lower for 4 of their 5 required shifts does not translate into an RO being able to credit a non-licensed position as one of the required five 12-hour shifts, therefore the RO license is inactive as of April 1.

This JPM was written using Revision 33 of 40AO-9ZZ19. This JPM may be used with later revisions if it is verified that the later revision does not affect the Steps/Standards of the JPM.

The time critical nature of this JPM is based on actions identified in Appendix D of 40DP-9ZZ04, Time Critical Action Program.

Due to the alternate portion of this JPM extending the completion time by ~ 5 minutes (validated via operator walkdown), the first three steps of 40AO-9ZZ19, Control Room Fire, Appendix G, are cued as being completed and the JPM is started upon entry to the RCA. The first three steps of Appendix G and transit time to the RCA was also validated to take ~ 5 minutes. Since not performing the first three steps or transiting to the RCA is approximately equal to the extra time to perform the time critical actions, the JPM is still treated as time critical with an initial time critical action of 30 minutes.

PVNGS 2016 NRC Exam Scenario # 1 Rev 4

Scenario Event Description NRC Exam Scenario # 1 2016 NRC Exam Scenario 1 Overview Event 1 The BOP will transfer from EHC (Electro-Hydraulic Control) Pump B to ECH Pump A per 40OP-9CO01, Electro-Hydraulic Control System, Section 6.7, Shifting from Hydraulic Fluid Pump B to Hydraulic Fluid Pump A.

Event 2 Pressurizer level transmitter RCA-LI-110X will fail to 100%. The ATC will address the ARP due to level being ~ 70% higher than setpoint and letdown will isolate in ~ 45 seconds. The ARP will direct selecting the unaffected channel of level control. If letdown isolates, the CRS will direct the restoration of letdown after the unaffected channel has been selected.

The CRS will also address TS due to LT-110X being a PAMI indication.

Event 3 The running PW pump will experience a sheared shaft. The standby pump will fail to auto start. The CRS will enter 40AO-9ZZ03, Loss of Cooling Water, and direct starting the standby pump manually.

Event 4 A THOT input to the RRS System (input to Tave 1) will fail high. The CRS will enter 40AO-9ZZ16, RRS Malfunctions, and direct the BOP to determine the failed transmitter at the RRS cabinet and select the unaffected channel. The CRS will also direct the ATC to take either MANUAL or LOCAL / AUTO control of pressurizer level since the remote setpoint will be failed high as a result of the THOT failure.

Event 5 A Train B MSIS will occur resulting in a loss of Feedwater to both SGs. The CRS will enter 40AO-9ZZ17, Inadvertent PPS-ESFAS Actuations, and direct the BOP to restore Feedwater using Aux Feedwater.

Event 6 When feed has been restored, a loss of off-site power will occur. This will result in a reactor trip. The CRS will enter 40EP-9EO01, SPTAs.

Event 7 Due to full strength CEA 57 failing to insert on the trip, the CRS will direct the ATC to commence emergency borating to the RCS. The ATC will have to use an alternate boration path due to the loss of power on the trip.

Event 8 The Train B class 4kV bus will be de-energized due to the B EDG output breaker failing to close. The BOP will attempt to close the output breaker but will not be successful. As a result, he will have to direct an AO to emergency stop the EDG within 15 minutes due to running with no cooling water.

Event 9 8 minutes after the reactor trip, AFW pump AFN-P01 will trip on 86 lockout (overcurrent trip) putting the crew in a LOFW event. Due to the B AFW pump being available (only AFW pump available) and power available on only the A train, the CRS will enter the Functional Recovery procedure. The CRS will direct energizing the B 4kV bus from the A EDG and restoring Feedwater with the B AFW pump.

PVNGS 2016 NRC Exam Scenario # 1 Rev 4

Scenario Event Description NRC Exam Scenario # 1 Critical Task # 1: Commence borating to the RCS at a rate of 26 gpm within 15 minutes of the reactor trip due to less than all full-strength CEAs being fully inserted.

Safety Significance: Per the Time Critical Action Program, commence emergency boration (MODES 3

- 5) within 15 minutes due to minimum shutdown margin less than limit in COLR. With less than all full strength CEAs fully inserted, the SDM is assumed to be less than minimum required. Justification for the 15 minutes is from 40DP-9ZZ04, Time Critical Action Program. Justification for the 26 gpm limit is from Technical Specification Bases for LCO 3.1.1, SDM - Reactor Trip Breakers Open.

Cueing: The crew will have indication of the stuck CEA from the Rod Bottom Light for the CEA failing to illuminate on the trip as well as the CPDS (CEA Position Display System) indicating one CEA failed to insert on the reactor trip.

Measurable Performance Indicator: The crew will align Charging Pump suction from the Refueling Water Tank (RWT) and ensure adequate Charging Pump flow of greater than or equal to 26 gpm. The crew will have to manually start a Charging Pump to achieve the minimum required boration flow of 26 gpm. Additionally, the crew will need to start at least one Charging Pump per step 4 of SPTAs for inventory control as well as to utilize Auxiliary Spray to control RCS pressure. Adequate boration flow can also be seen using the CVCS System Diagram using an ERFDADS computer display.

Performance Feedback: The crew will have indication of boration flow by ensuring the Charging Pump suction has been aligned to the Refueling Water Tank and Charging Pump flow is 26 gpm.

Critical Task # 2: Operate Auxiliary Spray and/or ADVs as necessary to prevent lifting primary safety valves.

Safety Significance: Due to the loss of all feedwater and the requirement to maintain boration flow to ensure the reactivity safety function is satisfied, auxiliary spray and/or ADVs will be required to maintain RCS pressure less than the lift setpoint for primary safeties. Lifting of the primary safety valves would unnecessarily complicate the event, challenging the RCS inventory and pressure control safety functions.

Cueing: The crew will have indication of a loss of all feed water as well as the running Charging Pump (which they cannot secure due to the requirement to maintain a boration to satisfy the reactivity control safety function), and PZR level and pressure rising. The crew should recognize that action is needed to prevent lifting a primary safety valve.

Measureable Performance Indicator: The crew will operate controls for the Pressurizer Auxiliary Spray and/or Steam Generator ADVs as necessary while observing board indications for pressurizer level and pressure.

Performance Feedback: Board and computer indications of RCS pressure (primary safety valve lift setting of 2475 psig) as well as Primary Safety Valve position indicators on B04. The crew will demonstrate satisfactory performance by maintaining primary pressure less than the lift setpoint of the PVNGS 2016 NRC Exam Scenario # 1 Rev 4

Scenario Event Description NRC Exam Scenario # 1 Primary Safety Valves (2475 psig).

Critical Task # 3: Restore power to Train B Class 4kV bus PBB-S04 prior to exiting MVAC-2, DGs, and restore feed to at least one SG prior to exiting HR-1, SG with no SI.

Safety Significance: The crew will have to restore feed water to at least one SG to ensure adequate inventory in the SG(s) to remove decay heat from the core.

Cueing: The crew will have indication of a complete loss of feed water due to the MSIS stopping both Main Feedwater Pumps, AFA-P01 is OOS, AFN-P01 will experience a sheared shaft ~ 8 minutes after the reactor trip, and the loss of power to AFB-P01. There will also be indication provided by all feed water flow indicators indicating 0 gpm to each SG.

Measurable Performance Indicator: The crew will have to close breakers to connect the Train A and Train B 4kV buses, start AFB-P01, and open flow control valves to commence feeding at least one SG.

Performance Feedback: When the crew has restored power to AFB-P01, started AFB-P01 and aligned a feed path to at least one SG, the crew will have indication of feed flow to at least one SG as well as a rising trend on SG level(s), and depending on feed flow rate, a lowering trend on RCS temperature.

PVNGS 2016 NRC Exam Scenario # 2 Rev 3

Scenario Event Description NRC Exam Scenario # 2 2016 NRC Exam Scenario 2 Overview Event 1 To support maintenance, transfer house loads from the Unit Aux Transformer to the Start-up Transformers. This is accomplished by energizing NAN-S01 from NAN-S03, and NAN-S02 from NAN-S04.

Event 2 SG #2 level transmitter LT-1122 will fail to 53%. The DWFCS will respond by reducing feed flow to SG #2 in an effort to lower level to the setpoint of 50%. The crew will take action per the ARP to place the faulty transmitter in maintenance, and restore SG level to the normal program band.

Event 3 An inadvertent CSAS will occur on Train B. The crew will enter 40AO-9ZZ17, Inadvertent PPS-ESFAS Actuations, to stop the CS pump, close the CS flow control valve and restore NC flow to containment. The CRS will address TS for the actuation and the containment isolation valves which were overridden and opened in response to this event.

Event 4 CEA 66 will fall to the bottom of the core. The crew will enter 40AO-9ZZ11, CEA Malfunctions, and commence a power reduction within 10 minutes. The crew will continue the power reduction to comply with the Core Operating Limits Report by reducing turbine load and commencing a boration.

Event 5 An ESD will occur inside containment. The crew will trip the reactor and enter 40EP-9EO01, Standard Post Trip Actions.

Event 6 On the trip, NAN-S01 and NAN-S02 supply breakers will trip resulting in a loss of all 4 RCPs and several non-class loads. Additional impacts to this loss are the loss of instrument air compressors and power to the Controlled Bleedoff Valves. This will required the crew to isolate bleedoff using the containment isolation valves and will have to override and reopen Instrument air to containment valve IAA-UV2 in order to maintain bleedoff isolated.

Event 7 SIAS/CIAS/MSIS will all fail to auto actuate at either 3.1 psig in containment or 960 psia SG pressure. The crew will manually actuate all 3 ESFAS actuations (unless SIAS and CIAS auto actuate at 1837 psig RCS pressure before the manual actuations are performed) which will result in the BOP having to transition to AFB-P01 for feeding and ADVs for steaming. SIAS and CIAS will auto actuate if RCS pressure lowers to 1837 psig, which will occur after 3 psig in the containment is reached. The main event here is the complete failure of MSIS to actuate.

Event 8 When containment pressure reaches 8.5 psig, CSAS will actuate. The crew will have to recognize that the Train A CS flow control valve is seized shut and the B CS Pump will not auto start due to actions taken in the earlier inadvertent CSAS. The crew will have to manually start the B CS Pump and open the B CS flow control valve. Additionally, the crew will have to manually close the Train B NC containment isolation valves which were overridden open in during the inadvertent CSAS earlier in the scenario.

Event 9 5 minutes after the reactor trip, the B CS Pump shaft will shear. The crew will have to recognize that they no longer meet the safety function for containment temperature and pressure control. The CRS will transition to the Functional Recovery procedure due to no containment spray flow and direct aligning the Train B LPSI Pump to the Train B CS header to regain spray flow into containment.

PVNGS 2016 NRC Exam Scenario # 2 Rev 3

Scenario Event Description NRC Exam Scenario # 2 Critical Task # 1: When the Main Steam Isolation setpoints are exceeded, ensure Main Steam Isolation has actuated prior to automatic AFAS actuation.

Safety Significance: MSIS ensures acceptable consequences during an MSLB or FWLB (between the steam generator and the main feedwater check valve) either inside or outside containment. If the AFAS actuates prior to the MSIS, the inventory of the Condensate Storage Tank may also begin to flow out the steam break. MSIS isolates both steam generators if either generator indicates a low pressure condition or a high level condition or if a high containment pressure condition exists. This prevents an excessive rate of heat extraction and subsequent cooldown of the RCS during these events.

Cueing: The crew should recognize the failure of MSIS to actuate when containment pressure exceeds 3.1 psig OR when either SG pressure lowers to less than 960 psia (both are setpoints for MSIS).

Measurable Performance Indicator: The crew will have to manually actuate MSIS by taking the four handswitches for each ESFAS channel actuation (on B05) to the actuate position. This can be confirmed by the red MSIS lights on the vertical section of B05 as well as the actuation logic lights for each actuation extinguishing on the horizontal section of B05. The AFAS actuation will occur at 25.2%

wide range in either SG and will be indicated by the red AFAS-1 (or AFAS-2) light on the vertical section of B05.

Performance Feedback: The crew will have indication of successful actuations by observing the red SIAS/CIAS/MSIS lights on the vertical section of B05 as well as the actuation logic lights for each actuation extinguishing on the horizontal section of B05, as well as by observing the actuated equipment for each ESFAS actuation going to its actuated position.

Critical Task # 2: Following a plant overcooling event, stabilize RCS Temperature and operate Safety Injection to prevent lifting the primary safeties.

Safety Significance: Following an ESD and subsequent SI injection into the RCS, if RCS temperature is not stabilized when the affected SG reaches dryout conditions, the subsequent heat up and repressurization will create a potential for PTS as well as raise RCS pressure to the point where primary safety valves lift, challenging the RCS inventory and pressure control safety functions.

Cueing: SG dryout will be indicated by a rise in affected loop Tcold and pressure in the affected SG approaching containment pressure. At this point, the crew should set and maintain a pressure band in the unaffected SG corresponding to the lowest Tcold reached in the affected RCS loop, +/- 50 psig.

Measurable Performance Indicator: When the crew identifies dryout in the affected SG, they will lower and maintain pressure in the unaffected SG at saturation pressure for the lowest Tcold observed in the affected loop, and/or by throttling SI flow to minimize the addition of inventory to the RCS. This critical task is satisfactory if pressure is controlled in the unaffected SG such that primary safeties remain closed.

Performance Feedback: The crew will have indication of RCS Tcold and pressurizer pressure being PVNGS 2016 NRC Exam Scenario # 2 Rev 3

Scenario Event Description NRC Exam Scenario # 2 stabilized and under control. SG dryout will be indicated primarily based on Tcold starting to rise in the affected loop as well as affected SG pressure approaching containment pressure. The status of primary safety valves can be observed using the safety valve position indicators on B04 as well as by observing primary pressure < 2475 psig.

Critical Task # 3: Align LPSI for CS to restore the CTPC safety function within 30 minutes of entering 40EP-9EO09, Functional Recovery.

Safety Significance: Failure to maintain containment temperature and pressure control reduces margin to the design of the containment building, which provides a barrier to fission product release to the general public.

Cueing: The crew will recognize the failure of the Train A CS flow control valve and the sheared shaft on the B CS Pump, resulting in zero CS flow.

Measurable Performance Indicator: The crew will align the B LPSI pump to the B CS header and start the LPSI Pump to initiate CS flow. Flow will not be indicated on the CS flow transmitter and will be verified using trends on containment pressure to validate adequate flow.

Performance Feedback: The crew will validate LPSI is providing adequate CS flow by observing a lowering trend of containment pressure using the ERFDADS computer terminal.
