2. Reactivity manipulations may be conducted under normal or controlled abnormal conditions (refer to Section D.5.d) but must be significant per Section C.2.a of Appendix D. (*) Reactivity and normal evolutions may be replaced with additional instrument or component malfunctions on a one-for-one basis.
3. Whenever practical, both instrument and component malfunctions should be included; only those that require verifiable actions that provide insight to the applicants competence count toward the minimum requirements specified for the applicants license level in the right-hand columns.
4. For licensees that use the ATC operator primarily for monitoring plant parameters, the chief examiner may place SRO-I applicants in either the ATC or BOP position to best evaluate the SRO-I in manipulating plant controls.

SUMMARY

Event 1 With reactor power at ~3% and reactor pressure at ~300 psig, the ATC operator withdraws control rods to restore and maintain Main Turbine Bypass Valves (BPVs) approximately 20% open as directed by PPM 3.1.2 (Startup Flowchart), Attachment 7.3, step Q32. Bypass Valves should be open at approximately 20% prior to completing startup of Reactor Feedwater Pump 1A (RFW-P-1A).

Event 2 RFW-P-1A has been rotating at 800 rpm for 30 minutes and is ready for the next speed increase. The BOP operator completes startup of RFW-P-1A per SOP-RFT-START.

Event 3 (TRG-1) The crew receives a ROD ACCUMULATOR TROUBLE alarm. The full core display will indicate trouble with the accumulator for control rod 22-11. A field report indicates that the accumulator pressure is approximately 930 psig (below TS limit). The crew takes actions per Annunciator Response Procedure (ARP) 4.603.A7.6-7 (ROD ACCUMULATOR TROUBLE). The CRS directs the Field Operator to recharge the accumulator per SOP-CRD-HCU. When recharged (TRG-2), the accumulator indication for rod 22-11 will clear on the full core display. The CRS refers to Technical Specifications and determines that TS 3.1.5 (Control Rod Scram Accumulators) Action C.2 applies which requires declaring control rod 22-1 inoperable unless accumulator is restored to operable status within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />.

Event 4 (TRG-3) Trip of Reactor Building Exhaust Fan 1B (REA-FN-1B) results in a high Reactor Building pressure and entry into PPM 5.3.1 (EOP - Secondary Containment Control). Secondary containment becomes inoperable. ARP 4.812.R2 9-1 (REACTOR BUILDING EXHAUST FAN B TRIP) directs starting REA-FN-1A which cannot be started (out-of-service). Subsequent ARP direction requires the BOP operator to isolate Reactor Building HVAC and starting the Standby Gas Treatment system to return Reactor Building pressure to within the TS limit ( 0.25 inch of vacuum water gauge). The CRS refers to Technical Specifications and determines that TS 3.6.4.1 (Secondary Containment), Action A.1 applies which requires restoring secondary containment to operable status within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />.

Event 5 (TRG-4) IRM A fails upscale resulting in an IRM upscale trip and Neutron Monitor System trip annunciators and a half scram. Per the ARP and when directed by the CRS, the ATC operator bypasses IRM A and resets the half-scram. The CRS refers to Technical Specifications 3.3.1.1 (RPS Instrumentation) and determines that the minimum number of IRM instruments required remains operable and that no TS actions are required.

Event 6 (TRG-5) A Minimum Seismic Earthquake occurs causing a differential current lockout of transformer (TR-1/11) supplying 480V Bus SL-11 which de-energizes the bus. After accessing what caused the lockout, and when directed, the BOP operator repowers SL-11 from SL-21 using the Quick Card (SOP-ELEC-480V-OPS-QC). The crew also takes actions per ABN-EARTHQUAKE to include checking seismic status indications, making a plant announcement, and assessing the need for a controlled reactor shutdown.

CGS 2017 NRC Exam Scenario 1 Outline Page 3 of 5

Appendix D NRC SCENARIO OUTLINE (Rev 0 - 10/24/2016) FORM ES-D-1 Columbia Generating Station Event 7 (TRG-6) An Operating Bases Earthquake (OBE) occurs. The crew uses ABN-EARTHQUAKE (entered previously) to validate that an OBE event has occurred and discusses need to perform a controlled reactor shutdown. Subsequent to the earthquake, a break on the Residual Heat Removal Pump 2A (RHR-P-2A) suction line causes wetwell level to lower. ABN-FLOODING is entered. When attempting to close the RHR-P-2A Motor-Operated suction valve (RHR-V-4A), the valve fails open. The CRS enters PPM 5.2.1 (EOP - Primary Containment Control) on Suppression Pool low level. Crew should direct removal of control power fuses (TRG-7) for RHR-P-2A as time permits.

The crew takes actions to restore wetwell level using the High Pressure Core Spray (HPCS) pump (HPCS-P-1) per PPM 5.5.23 (Emergency Suppression Pool Makeup). During this lineup, the HPCS Standby Service Water Pump (HPCS-P-2) discharge valve (SW-V-29) fails to auto open when HPCS-P-2 is started, requiring the BOP operator to manually open the valve. HPCS is ineffective is restoring Suppression Pool level.

FDR-V-607, the cross-connect valve between the RHR-SYS-A and Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) rooms fails to auto close due to a failed level switch (which allows flooding to continue into RCIC Pump Room). The valve cannot be manually closed. The CRS re-enters PPM 5.3.1 (EOP - Secondary Containment Control) due high RHR-SYS-A and RCIC room levels. The leak from the Suppression Pool is not considered a Primary System discharging into Secondary Containment and therefore a controlled reactor shutdown (previously required for the OBE) is also required for high RCIC room water level (6 inches above floor).

Event 8 The CRS enters PPM 5.1.1 (EOP - RPV Control) and directs manually scramming the reactor prior to wetwell level reaching 19 feet 2 inches. (CT #1) The reactor will not scram when the mode switch is taken to SHUTDOWN. The ATC operator identifies the failure to scram and takes actions per PPM 3.3.1 (Reactor Scram) to scram the reactor. The Manual Scram Pushbuttons are effective in inserting all control rods.

Event 9 Prior to wetwell level going below 19 feet 2 inches, the CRS determines that wetwell level cannot be maintained 19 feet 2 inches and directs RPV Emergency Depressurization (ED) per PPM 5.1.3 (EOP - Emergency RPV Depressurization) to include opening seven (7) Safety Relief Valves (ADS SRVs preferred). (CT #2)

One Automatic Depressurization System (ADS) Safety Relief Valve (SRV) fails to open (MS-RV-4D) during the ED requiring the BOP operator to manually open a non-ADS SRV. (CT #2).

TERMINATION CRITERIA: The scenario will be terminated when emergency depressurization has commenced (7 SRVs open) and RPV level is being controlled in the prescribed band OR as directed by the Examination Team.

SUMMARY

Event 1 The Scenario starts from 100% power with Control Rod Drive (CRD) Pump 1B (CRD-P-1B) out of service for extended maintenance. Once the crew has the shift, the ATC operator lowers reactor power (for load following) using Reactor Recirculation (RRC) flow to 90% per PPM 3.2.6 (Power Maneuvering). The BOP operator takes the Main Turbine out of Governor Valve Optimization mode per SOP-MT-GV/OPTIMIZATION (Section 5.2) prior to the RRC flow reduction.

Event 2 (TRG-1) CRD Drive Header Flow Control Valve controller (CRD-FC-600) output fails high while in automatic which causes 603.A7 5-8 (CRD PUMP SUCTION FLTR D HIGH) annunciator to come in caused by abnormally high system flow. Upon finding the CRD-FC-600 controller output failed high, the ATC operator informs the CRS and shifts the controller to manual and restores CRD system parameters to normal. Annunciator will clear once system parameters restored to normal.

Event 3 (TRG-2) The shaft on RHR-SYS-A/LPCS Keep Fill Pump (LPCS-P-2) seizes causing a trip of the pump.

The RHR A PUMP DISCH PRESS HIGH/LOW annunciator alarms shortly after LPCS-P-2 trips. The LPCS PUMP DISCH PRESS HIGH/LOW annunciator will alarm ~13 minutes after LPCS-P-2 trips (unless LPCS pump started before then). Based on system status and ARP direction, the CRS will direct the BOP operator to start the Low Pressure Core Spray (LPCS) Pump (and place into Suppression Pool Mixing per SOP-LPCS-SP) to maintain system availability provided the LPCS PUMP DISCH PRESS HIGH/LOW annunciator is not in alarm. To prevent an inadvertent start of Residual Heat Removal (RHR)

Pump 2A (RHR-P-2A) and therefore a potential for water hammer, the CRS will direct control power fuses removed (TRG-6) from the RHR-P-2A starting circuit. If LPCS pump is not started and the LPCS PUMP DISCH PRESS HIGH/LOW annunciator is received, LPCS Pump control power fuses will also be removed (TRG-7). The CRS will refer to ABN-RHR-DEPRESS as time permits to determine system recovery actions.

With RHR-P-2A and LPCS inoperable, the CRS refers to Technical Specifications and Licensee Controlled Specifications and determines the following actions are applicable:

  • LCO 3.5.1 C.1 - Restore either RHR-SYS-A or LPCS subsystem to operable status within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />
  • LCO 3.6.2.3 A.1 - Restore RHR-SYS-A Suppression Pool Cooling subsystem to operable status within 7 days
  • LCO 3.3.3.2 A.1 - Restore required Function (9.d - RHR-SYS-A Loop Pump) to operable status within 30 days
  • RFO 1.6.1.5 A.1 - Restore RHR-SYS-A Suppression Pool Spray subsystem to operable status within 7 days Note that LCOs 3.4.6, 3.4.9, and 3.6.1.3 are considered but not applicable with the plant in Mode 1.

Event 4 (TRG-3) Main Steam pressure switch 23D (MS-PS-23D) fails high causing Reactor Protection System (RPS) relay K5D (RPS-RLY-K5D) to actuate a RPV Pressure High Trip Scram relay (as evidenced by annunciator 603.A8 2-2 (RPV PRESS HIGH TRIP)). This actuation causes a half scram on the RPS B side with all RPS B white RPS scram lights de-energized. The ATC operator will determine that two control rods (38-35 and 18-15) inadvertently scrammed during the half scram and that control rod 18-15 only partially inserted. The CRS enters ABN-ROD, section 4.2, for inadvertently scrammed rods. The ATC operator reduces RRC flow to 74 Mlbm/hr at 5% per minute. Following flow reduction, an attempt is made to fully insert control rod 18-15 using the CONTINUOUS INSERT pushbutton (which will be successful). The crew diagnoses the instrument failure and determines the half scram cannot be reset.

The CRS refers to Technical Specifications and determines that TS 3.3.1.1 (RPS Instrumentation) Action A.1 or A.2 requires affected channel or affected trip system, respectively, to be placed in TRIP within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. In addition, control rod 18-15 is considered inoperable for not fully inserting when inadvertently CGS 2017 NRC Exam Scenario 2 Outline Page 3 of 6

Event 5 (TRG-4) Bus 81 ground as sensed on MC-8BB which powers Fuel Pool Cooling Pump 1B (FPC-P-1B) causes FPC-P-1B to trip when power fuses blow. With this power loss, the standby Fuel Pooling Cooling pump (FPC-P-1A) will not auto start. ARP 4.627.FPC2.3-1 (CIRCULATION PUMP B DISCHARGE PRESSURE LOW) directs entry into ABN-FPC-LOSS. The BOP operator will manually start FPC-P-1A to re-establish fuel pool cooling. Resetting the Bus 81 ground annunciator (TRG-10) will be successful, if attempted, since ground cleared upon the FPC-P-1B power fuses blowing. Since the status of the FPC-P-1B thermal overloads are unknown at this point the BOP operator may place the FPC-P-1B control switch in the IR-69 position to allow reset of associated overloads.

Event 6 (TRG-5) Trip of CB-1/7 (4160V feed from SM-1 to SM-7) results in an automatic transfer of Division 1 AC safety bus (SM-7) to the Backup Transformer (TR-B). The transient results in a trip of the LPCS Pump (previously started) and a loss of RPS Motor Generator A power to RPS A. With a RPS B half scram signal already present, a full scram signal now exists. The ATC operator recognizes a scram should have occurred and that an ATWS condition exists. The ATC operator takes scram actions including pressing all Manual scram pushbuttons and initiating ARI logic. Both trains of SLC are started due to reactor power being > 5%.

The CRS enters PPM 5.1.1 (RPV Control) and transitions into PPM 5.1.2 (RPV Control - ATWS) and directs the BOP operator to inhibit ADS and to take manual control of HPCS. The CRS addresses the level leg first and directs the BOP operator to perform PPM 5.5.6 (Bypassing MSIV Low RPV Level and High Steam Tunnel Temperature interlocks) to allow MSIVs to stay open on subsequent RPV level reduction. PPM 5.5.1 (Overriding ECCS Valve Logic To Allow Throttling ECCS Injection) is also performed. The CRS then directs stopping and preventing all injection into the RPV except for SLC, CRD and RCIC. When level reaches -65 inches, the ATC operator will restart injection into the RPV through the RFW Startup flow control valve to maintain a RPV Level band of -80 to -140 inches. (CT #1) (CT #2)

The CRS directs an RPV pressure band of 800 to 1050 psig with the Digital Electro-Hydraulic (DEH) system in automatic. If reactor power is above 25%, the capacity of the RFW Start-up flow line will be exceeded and the ATC operator will have to augment flow by opening RFW-V-109 (Bypass valve for Feedwater Heaters 6A and 6B). The BOP operator performs PPM 5.5.11 (Alternate Control Rod Insertions) in an attempt to insert control rods.

This event forms a portion of significant CGS PSA Accident Sequence (TTC044) (Ref: PSA-1-SM-0001 (Rev 7))

Event 7 Standby Liquid Control (SLC) Pump 1A fails due to a sheared shaft and SLC Pump 1B discharge is partially blocked resulting in a reduced SLC injection flow in the RPV at approximately 24 gpm. This injection rate will cause reactor power to drop slowly but not prior to the crew lowering RPV level to -80 to

-140 inches. Reactor Water Cleanup Valve 4 (RWCU-V-4) does not auto close on the SLC initiation but will be closed manually.

Event 8 Control rods insertion will be attempted per PPM 5.5.11 (Alternate Control Rod Insertions). Since hydraulic ATWS occurred (no white RPS scram lights lit), the BOP operator will remove two (2) ARI fuses and bypass (via switch) the Scram Discharge Volume (SDV) High Level trip. CRD-P-1A will be found tripped and will have to be restarted before a re-scram is attempted. The Scram - Reset - Scram method of control rod insertion is not effective requiring the BOP operator to bypass the Rod Worth Minimizer (RWM) and manually insert control rods individually using CRD drive pressure.

SUMMARY

Event 1 As part of the turnover, and with annunciators for Suppression Pool high temperature in alarm (601.A11 1-3 and 601.A12 1-3)), the BOP operator will place Residual Heat Removal Loop A (RHR-SYS-A) into Suppression Pool Cooling mode per SOP-RHR-SPC (Suppression Pool Cooling/Spray/Discharge

/Mixing). Standby Service Water Pump (SW-P-1A) will be allowed to auto start as permitted by procedure.

The CRS declares RHR-SYS-A as inoperable but available and refers to Technical Specifications and the Licensee Controlled Specifications and determines that the following applies:

  • LCO 3.5.1 Action A.1 which requires restoring RHR-SYS-A to operable status within 7 days
  • LCO 3.6.1.5 Action A.1 which requires restoring RHR-SYS-A drywell spray subsystem to operable status within 7 days
  • LCO 3.6.2.3 Action A.1 which requires restoring RHR-SYS-A suppression pool cooling subsystem to operable status within 7 days
  • RFO 1.6.1.5 Action A.1 which requires restoring RHR-SYS-A suppression pool spray subsystem to operable status within 7 days During RHR-P-2A pump start for entering Suppression Pool cooling mode, an isolated pressure switch (RHR-PS-19A) prevents the LPCS/RHR A ADS Permissive alarm from annunciating on P601. The CRS refers to Technical Specifications and determines that LCO 3.3.5.1 (Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) Instrumentation) Action A.1 applies which directs entry into the Condition referenced in Table 3.3.5.1-1 for the channel (Function 4.e) immediately (Condition G). ACTION G.2 directs restoring channel to operable status within 8 days.

Previous Columbia OE (Ref: AR-00049685 - Root Cause Analysis of RHR-PS-19A Isolation Mispositioning Event dated 4/1/2007) involved isolation of same pressure switch which was not discovered until RHR-P-2A was started and the ADS Permissive annunciator did not come in as expected.

Event 2 (TRG-1) Control rod 26-19 drifts out of the core. The ATC operator recognizes the rod drift and takes Immediate Actions to fully insert the control rod using the Continuous Insert pushbutton. The CRS enters ABN-ROD. When the Insert pushbutton is released, the control rod begins again to drift out of the core.

The ATC operator re-inserts the control rod full-in (and keeps the Continuous Inset pushbutton pressed) while the crew takes action to isolate the HCU for control rod 26-19 (TRG-2). The CRS declares control rod 26-19 inoperable. The CRS refers to Technical Specifications and determines that LCO 3.1.3 (Control Rod Operability) Action C.1 applies which requires rod 26-19 to be fully inserted within 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> and Action C.2 which requires associated CRD (HCU) disarmed within four hours.

Event 3 (TRG-3) Vibrations start to rise above the ALERT setpoint on Reactor Feed Pump (RFP) B as indicated by annunciator P840.A1.7-5 (Turbine B Vibration Trouble) and validated on (local) vibration instrument RFW-VBI-1B/XS/T1BXY (Turbine Radial Inboard Bearing Vibration). Feed pump bias is adjusted to minimize load on RFP B in an attempt to reduce vibration (which is unsuccessful). Vibration level will exceed the DANGER setpoint requiring Reactor Recirculation flow to be incrementally reduced in 1% to 5% step changes while monitoring vibration level. Vibration level remains above the DANGER setpoint even after Reactor Recirculation (RRC) flow has been reduced to 74 Mlbm/hr. RFP B is manually tripped per ARP direction. The CRS may direct tripping of RFP B before the flow reduction is complete if equipment damage is a concern. Following the trip, the high vibration annunciator will clear if crew attempts a local reset (TRG-7). As RPV level lowers due to the feed pump trip, both Reactor Recirculation (RRC) Pumps will runback to 30 Hz causing reactor power to stabilize at a lower level of

~68% power.

Appendix D NRC SCENARIO OUTLINE (Rev 0 - 10/24/2016) FORM ES-D-1 Columbia Generating Station Event 4 (TRG-4) An earthquake (OBE) causes annunciator 851.S-1 5-1 (Operating Basis Earthquake Exceeded) to alarm. ABN-EARTHQUAKE is entered. Concurrently, a steam leak in the RCIC Pump Room develops resulting in RCIC Equipment Area high temperature alarms. PPM 5.3.1 (Secondary Containment Control) and ABN-HELB (Line Break) are entered on Reactor Building (RB) area high temperature. Crew attempts to isolate steam leak as directed by PPM 5.3.1 (Secondary Containment Control). Control Room notifies plant personnel of safety hazard and directs evacuation of affected areas. Neither RCIC-V-63 (RCIC Steam Supply Inboard Isolation) nor RCIC-V-8 (RCIC Turbine Steam Supply Isolation) will automatically close. Manual attempts to shut RCIC-V-63 and RCIC-V-8 are unsuccessful.

Event 5 CRS enters PPM 5.1.1 (RPV Control) and directs a manual reactor scram before reaching the max safe operating temperature for the RCIC Pump room (CT #1). All control rods fully insert. The CRS may direct a reactor pressure reduction to 500 to 600 psig to reduce leak rate.

Event 6 Three (3) minutes after the scram, Main Steam Line A piping ruptures causing a steam leak in the Main Steam Tunnel along with the failure of MSIV 22A (MS-V-22A) to close. The outboard MSIVs fail to AUTO close due to failure of a logic relay but can be manually closed. The CRS re-enters PPM 5.3.1 (Secondary Containment Control) based on a second un-isolable steam leak in Secondary Containment resulting in high Main Steam Tunnel temperature.

Event 7 The CRS directs entry into PPM 5.1.3 (Emergency RPV Depressurization) once Main Steam Tunnel Temperature exceeds its max safe operating value of 330°F based on two secondary containment areas greater than max safe operating value (CT #2). Seven Safety Relief Valves (ADS preferred) are opened as directed by PPM 5.1.3 (Emergency RPV Depressurization). RPV level will be restored using Condensate Booster Pumps following Emergency Depressurization.

TERMINATION CRITERIA: The scenario will be terminated when an Emergency Depressurization has been performed and RPV level is being controlled in the prescribed band OR as directed by the Examination Team.

SUMMARY

Event 1 (TRG-1) The first event is a failure of RFW-DPT-4A/RFW-LI-606 downscale. The crew performs actions per Alarm Response Procedure (ARP) 603.A8.3-7 and enters ABN-INSTRUMENTATION and ABN-LEVEL. The CRS directs the BOP to verify FWLC system has automatically shifted to Channel B and directs the ATC to place the Reactor Vessel Level Control Channel selector switch to Channel B. The SRO refers to Technical Specifications and determines that LCO 3.3.2.2, action A.1 applies which requires tripping the affected channel within 7 days.

Event 2 (TRG-2) Reactor Water Cleanup Non-Regenerative Heat Exchanger (RWCU-HX-2A/2B NRHX) fouling causes a rising temperature at the outlet of the NRHX leading to the RWCU filter demineralizers. The crew takes actions per ARP 4.602.A5 6-8 (CLEANUP FLTR INLET TEMP HI) to include monitoring temperature, verifying system lineup, and ensuring proper Reactor Closed Cooling (RCC) flow to the RWCU NRHX exist. When the crew recognizes that the RWCU NRHX outlet temperature is approaching 140°F, and isolation appears imminent, the BOP operator will stop the running RWCU pump (RWCU-P-1A) and close the RWCU Suction Outboard Isolation Motor-Operated Valve (MOV) (RWCU-V-4). The crew may also elect to close the Inboard isolation MOV (RWCU-V-1).

Note that if the crew does not take action to prevent automatic closure of RWCU-V-4 (which occurs at 140°F), RWCU-V-4 will automatically close but the running RWCU pump (RWCU-P-1A) will fail to trip.

The BOP operator will have to manually trip the pump.

Event 3 (TRG-3) Control Rod Drive Pump 1A (CRD-P-1A) inadvertently trips requiring the ATC operator to start CRD-P-1B per ARP H13-P603 A-7 3-8 (CRD CHARGE WATER PRESS LOW). Actions include placing the CRD Flow Controller in Manual, zeroing the output and then starting CRD-P-1B. The controller is then nulled and placed back in Auto and CRD system parameters restored.

Depending on the time required to restore CRD flow, one or more control rod HCU accumulator alarms may come in. If asked, local accumulator pressures will be reported to be 980 psig which is below the alarm setpoint but above the LCO 3.1.5 minimum limit of 940 psig required for operability. No Technical Specification actions will be required.

Event 4 (TRG-4) High Pressure Core Spray (HPCS-P-1) control power fails (fuses blow) due to electrical fault.

The BOP operator refers to ARP 601.A1 6-8 (HIGH PRESSURE CORE SPRAY SYSTEM OUT OF SERVICE). If directed to investigate, the HPCS pump control power fuses are reported as blown. Any attempt to replace fuses will result in fuses again blowing.

With both RHR-SYS-B and HPCS inoperable, the CRS refers to Technical Specifications and determines the following additional actions apply:

  • LCO 3.5.1 C.1 - Restore RHR-SYS-B or HPCS system to operable status within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> CGS 2017 NRC Exam SPARE Scenario Outline Page 3 of 6

Appendix D NRC SCENARIO OUTLINE (Rev 0 - 10/24/2016) FORM ES-D-1 Columbia Generating Station Event 5 (TRG-5) A downscale failure of Reactor Recirculation Flow Transmitter 14A (RRC-FT-14A) occurs causing Channel 1 of the Average Power Range Monitor (APRM-CHS-1) to trip. With only one (1) vote sent to the 2-out-of-4 voter logic no half-scram or reactor trip signals are generated. The crew takes actions per annunciator 603.A8 3-6 (FLOW REFERENCE OFF NORMAL). The CRS directs the ATC operator to bypass APRM-CHS-1.

With APRM-CHS-1 inoperable (and bypassed), the CRS refers to Technical Specifications and determines that only three (3) APRM channels are required to be operable and that no Technical Specification actions are required.

Event 6 (TRG-6) Non-ADS Safety Relief Valve (SRV) MS-RV-2B inadvertently opens. The crew confirms this by observing at least one of the following: 1) Rise on MS-RV-2B tailpipe temperature on MS-TR-614; 2)

Rising Suppression Pool temperature or level; or 3) Reduction in Main Generator output of ~70 MWe.

The CRS enters ABN-SRV and directs the ATC operator to reduce reactor power to < 90% using Reactor Recirculation (RRC) flow. The BOP attempts to close the SRV using the control switch. The valve will not close requiring the BOP to remove solenoid fuses per Attachment 7.1. Once fuses are removed the SRV closes. Entry into PPM 5.2.1 (Primary Containment Control) will be required if Suppression Pool temperature rises to > 90°F.

Event 7 (TRG-7) A primary leak from the RRC-P-1B suction line occurs. The crew takes actions to identify and isolate the leak per ABN-LEAK which will not be successful. The leak continues to increase until degrading plant parameters require a manual reactor scram. The crew takes actions per PPM 3.3.1 (Reactor Scram), PPM 5.1.1 (RPV Control), and PPM 5.2.1 (Primary Containment Control). The crew initiates Wetwell sprays when Wetwell pressure reaches 2 psig and initiates Drywell sprays when Wetwell pressure exceeds 12 psig but prior to exceeding the Pressure Suppression Pressure (PSP) limit (PPM 5.2.1 Figure F) and after verifying Drywell parameters are within the Drywell Spray Initiation Limit (DSIL)

(PPM 5.2.1 Figure E) and RHR is NOT required for adequate core cooling (CT #1). RHR will be re-aligned from Drywell spray to LPCI injection after emergency depressurization is initiated. Due to a loss of sufficient RPV injection, RPV level continues to lower requiring the crew to emergency depressurize the RPV because sufficient high pressure injections system are not available.

Event 8 Total loss of feedwater injection occurs: Reactor Feedwater Flow Indicating Controller (RFW-FIC-620) output fails low and FWH 6A/6B Bypass Valve (RFW-V-109) fails to open preventing RFW injection into the RPV. RFW-HX-6A & B Discharge to Rx Discharge MOVs (RFW-V-112A & B) fail to open (if attempted) after being initially closed to support feeding with the RFW Flow Control Valves (RFW-FCV-10A/B).

Examiner Note: If the ATC operator fails to close either RFW-V-112A or RFW-V-112B then with specific Examiner direction, Trigger 11 will be entered to cause a trip of all running Condensate Booster pumps to ensure a total loss of feedwater injection occurs which is needed to support Critical Tasks.

Event 9 Reactor Core Isolation Cooling Flow Indicating Controller (RCIC-FIC-600) fails low on RCIC system startup requiring a manual trip of the RCIC turbine.
