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 outline sections (i.e., except for one category in Tier 3 of the SRO-only section, the Tier Totals in each K/A category shall not be less than two). (One Tier 3 radiation control K/A is allowed if it is replaced by a K/A from another Tier 3 category.)
- 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 outline. Systems or evolutions that do not apply at the facility should be deleted with justification. 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. 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 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 a category 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.

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 outline sections (i.e., except for one category in Tier 3 of the SRO-only section, the Tier Totals in each K/A category shall not be less than two). (One Tier 3 radiation control K/A is allowed if it is replaced by a K/A from another Tier 3 category.)
- 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 outline. Systems or evolutions that do not apply at the facility should be deleted with justification. 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. 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 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 a category 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.

2018 NRC Scenario 1 3 of 29 Revision 6 SCENARIO ACTIVITIES:
Initial Conditions Initial Conditions: 100% Power. RHR A is in suppression pool cooling. Containment Purge is in service.
Inoperable Equipment: None Turnover: Slow roll RCIC per SOP-35, RCIC System, for retest after governor oil replacement.
These are done:
4.3.2. Place RHR into Suppression Pool Cooling mode per SOP-0031, Residual Heat Removal.

Event 5 - (Triggered by Lead Examiner)
All condensate demineralizers and filters are clogged resulting in a complete loss of condensate and feed. Crew will manually scram. (This will prevent all feed and condensate availability for the rest of the scenario.) (EOP-1, AOP-1)
Event 6 - (Initial Setup - Automatic)
Reactor coolant leak in the drywell with no high pressure injection sources available will cause a loss of RPV water level. (EOP-1) RPV level will slowly lower due to loss of all high pressure injection systems. The crew will emergency depressurization to restore RPV water level with Low Pressure ECCS.
Event 7 - (Initial Setup - Automatic)
Division 1 ECCS fails to auto initiate, but can be manually initiated. Division 1 ECCS should initiate on low RPV level or high drywell pressure. The pump should start prior to Emergency Depressurization. Crew should recognize and manually initiate/align Division 1 ECCS systems.
Event 8 - (Initial Setup - Automatic)
RHR B and C injection valves fail to auto open, but can be manually opened. The injection valves should open on low RPV pressure to allow injection of low pressure system. The crew should recognize this after emergency depressurization performed and manually open the injection valves as needed to restore RPV level.
2018 NRC Scenario 1 5 of 29 Revision 6 CT-1 CT-2 Critical Task
- Emergency Depressurize with at least one injection source lined up for injection when level cannot be restored and maintained above -187, within 15 minutes. (15 minutes start when RPV level reaches -187 inches)
Restore reactor water level above TAF
(-162 inches) prior to exiting EOP-1, RPV Control, and entering the SAPs.
EVENT 6
7&8 Safety Significance Per EOP-1, ALC-7, 8, and 11, Emergency RPV depressurization (signaled by Step ALC-11) permits injection from low head systems, maximizes the total injection flow, and minimizes the flow through any primary system break.
If an injection source is available, emergency depressurization should be delayed at least until RPV level reaches the top of the active fuel, but may be performed anytime RPV level is between the top of the active fuel and the Minimum Steam Cooling RPV Water Level (MSCRWL).
If it is believed that available injection sources are capable of restoring and maintaining RPV water level above the Minimum Steam Cooling RPV Water Level following RPV depressurization, the blowdown may be performed as soon as RPV level reaches the top of the active fuel. (For example, all low pressure ECCS are running but cannot inject until RPV pressure decreases below their shutoff heads.)
Per EOP-1, ALC-12, the contingent of Step ALC-12 provides one last opportunity for restoring adequate core cooling before the requirement for containment flooding occurs.
Adequate core cooling is ensured following emergency depressurization as long as one of two conditions exists:
- Steam Cooling with Injection: RPV water level can be restored and maintained above the Minimum Steam Cooling RPV Water Level (MSCRWL). The core is then cooled by a combination of submergence and steam cooling even with no core spray flow.
- Spray Cooling: Design core spray flow requirements are satisfied and RPV level can be restored and maintained at or above the elevation of the jet pump suctions.
Cueing The ADS/SRVs will indicate open using red lights, steam flow, and acoustic monitoring. Reactor pressure will lower.
RPV level will rise and system flow will be indicated after emergency depressurization, when a low pressure ECCS system is aligned for injection.
- If an operator or the crew significantly deviates from, or fails to, follow procedures that affect the maintenance of basic safety functions, those actions may form the basis of a CT identified in the post-scenario review (NUREG 1021, Appendix D). An unintentional or unnecessary RPS or ESF actuation may result in the creation of a post-scenario Critical Task, if that actuation results in a significant plant degradation or significantly alters a mitigation strategy
- Per EPSTG*0002, EOP-1, Step ED-6: Five open SRVs is the Minimum Number of SRVs Required for Emergency Depressurization (MNSRED) and is the least number of SRVs which corresponds to a Minimum Steam Cooling Pressure (MSCP) sufficiently low that the ECCS with the lowest head will be capable of making up the SRV steam flow at the corresponding MSCP. The MNSRED is utilized to assure the RPV will depressurize and remain depressurized when emergency depressurization is required. Refer to Appendix A for a detailed discussion of the MNSRED and the MSCP.

2018 NRC Scenario 2 4 of 28 Revision 6 Event 6 - (Initial Setup - Automatic)
ATWS (fail to deenergize: all RPS relays will need to be deenergized to insert control rods by pulling fuses). EOP-1A, RPV Control - ATWS. The rods will be inserted per 0, DE-ENERGIZING SCRAM SOLENOIDS. RPS control power fuses will be removed to de-energize the scram solenoids and drive the control rods in.
Event 7 - (Initial Setup - Automatic)

Event 8 - (Initial Setup - Automatic) 1st C41-S1A(B), SLC PUMP A(B) attempted fails to start. Crew must start second SLC pump. The failure malfunction is initially on both pumps to ensure either pump that is started first fails. When the first pump is attempted the malfunction is deleted from the second pump.
2018 NRC Scenario 2 5 of 28 Revision 6 Critical Task CT-1 CT-2 CT-3 Terminate and prevent all injection into the RPV except boron injection, CRD, and RCIC to lower RPV level to <-56 inches prior to meeting Level/Power Conditions.
Level/Power Conditions exist when ALL of the following are met:
- Reactor power above 5%
or cannot be determined
- SP temperature above 110°F
- RPV level above -100 in.
Inject SLC to shutdown reactor, prior to exceeding Suppression Pool temperature (110ºF).
NOTE: Crew may take action to inject SLC but due to fault SLC may not be injecting before 110ºF.
Close MSIVs within 15 minutes of reaching 8.5 inches vacuum in the main condenser (auto isolation signal).
EVENT 5
8 7
Safety Significance Per EOP-1A, RLA-13, With RPV injection terminated and prevented, RPV water level and reactor power decrease at the maximum possible rate allowed by boil off.
Failure to completely stop RPV injection flow (with the exception of CRD, RCIC, and SLC) would delay the reduction in core inlet sub-cooling, thus increasing the potential for flux oscillations.
Per EOP-1A, per RQA-4&5, A scram failure event with reactor power above 5% coupled with an MSIV isolation, however, may result in rapid heat up of the suppression pool due to the steam discharged from the RPV via SRVs. The challenge to containment thus becomes the limiting factor which defines the second of the two possible conditions requiring initiation of boron injection.
Per EIP-2-001, NOUE is declared within 15 minutes if there is any loss or any potential loss of containment. A loss of primary containment per PC3, Primary containment isolation failure or bypass, due to a failure of both valves in any one line to close AND direct downstream pathway to the environment exists after PC isolation.
Cueing Feed, condensate, and HPCS injection is terminated. RPV level is lowering.
The first SLC pump will fail to start, but the second pump will inject. SLC flow will rise and reactor power will begin to slowly lower.
Vacuum will degrade to less than 8.5 inches main condenser vacuum. All of the MSIVs will fail to isolate, but he drain lines will automatically close.
- If an operator or the crew significantly deviates from, or fails to, follow procedures that affect the maintenance of basic safety functions, those actions may form the basis of a CT identified in the post-scenario review (NUREG 1021, Appendix D). An unintentional or unnecessary RPS or ESF actuation may result in the creation of a post-scenario Critical Task, if that actuation results in a significant plant degradation or significantly alters a mitigation strategy

EVENT 7
9 Safety Significance Per EOP-3 bases for steps SC-13, 14, and 15, If temperatures, radiation levels or water levels in any one of the areas listed in Table SC-2 approach their maximum safe operating value, adequate core cooling, containment integrity, safety of personnel, or continued operability of equipment required to perform EOP actions can no longer be assured. A reactor scram is initiated through entry of EOP-1 to reduce the primary system discharge into secondary containment and in anticipation of possible RPV depressurization in Step SC-17.
Per EIP-2-001, when either RWCU pump room or RCIC room is above Table F2 Max Normal Operating Temperatures and above Table F1 Max Safe Operating Temperatures a Site Area Emergency should be declared per FS1. This is based on a loss of Reactor Coolant System Barrier (RC3) and Primary Containment Barrier (PC3). The crew has 15 minutes to make this upgrade declaration.
Cueing RWCU Pump Room area temperature will rise.
The ADS/SRVs will indicate open using red lights, steam flow, and acoustic monitoring.
Reactor pressure will lower.
- If an operator or the crew significantly deviates from, or fails to, follow procedures that affect the maintenance of basic safety functions, those actions may form the basis of a CT identified in the post-scenario review (NUREG 1021, Appendix D). An unintentional or unnecessary RPS or ESF actuation may result in the creation of a post-scenario Critical Task, if that actuation results in a significant plant degradation or significantly alters a mitigation strategy
- Per EPSTG*0002, EOP-1, Step ED-6: Five open SRVs is the Minimum Number of SRVs Required for Emergency Depressurization (MNSRED) and is the least number of SRVs which corresponds to a Minimum Steam Cooling Pressure (MSCP) sufficiently low that the ECCS with the lowest head will be capable of making up the SRV steam flow at the corresponding MSCP. The MNSRED is utilized to assure the RPV will depressurize and remain depressurized when emergency depressurization is required. Refer to Appendix A for a detailed discussion of the MNSRED and the MSCP.
