A.1.a The examinee is given the case where two operators are required to be called out for work. The examinee evaluate the work history between five different operators and will determine operator 3 may assume the shift in Unit 1 which is the operating unit and Operator 2 may assume the shift in Unit 2 which is the outage unit. This JPM is a common JPM with the RO examinees.

A.1.b The examinee will evaluate a completed OPDP-4 Disabled Alarm Checklist, will identify three embedded errors and determine the correct entries for the embedded errors. The examinee will determine the following correct solutions for the embedded errors:

the source for the annunciator panel XA-55-1A window C-1 is a multi point input and needs to have leads removed to maintain monitoring availability of the other inputs to the SER.

determines a 50.59 review must be performed prior to disabling alarm.

determines a technical evaluation must be performed.

A.2 The examinee evaluates the proposed clearance for the 1B Condensate Demineralizer Booster Pump and discovers the following four embedded errors:

No vent or drain path is provided to establish conditions for work.

The pump hand switch is tagged instead of the pump motor breaker.

The discharge valve for the 1B Condensate Booster Pump is tagged instead of the 1B Condensate Demineralizer Booster Pump.

The suction valve for the 1B Condensate Demineralizer Booster Pump is tagged locally at the MOV instead of the breaker for the MOV.

A.3 The examinee evaluates a work package and determines LCO 3.3.7 condition a must be entered and RM-90-125 is required to be blocked prior to removing RM-90-125 from service.

The examinee subsequently determines the isolation relay for 0-RE-90-125 must be removed prior to unblocking 0-RE-90-125.

A.4 During a dual unit event, the examinee will evaluate plant conditions and classifies the event as a SITE AREA EMERGENCY based on EAL 3.1 within 15 minutes and the examinee completes a TVA Initial Notification for Site Area Emergency form with no errors on items noted with an
