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). (One Tier 3 Radiation Control K/A is allowed if the K/A 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 associated 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 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 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.
G* Generic K/As These systems/evolutions must be included as part of the sample (as applicable to the facility) when Revision 3 of the K/A catalog is used to develop the sample plan. They are not required to be included when using earlier revisions of the K/A catalog.
These systems/evolutions may be eliminated from the sample (as applicable to the facility) when Revision 3 of the K/A catalog is used to develop the sample plan.

NRC Scenario 1 - Narrative 2018 NRC Exam Scenario 1 D-1 Rev 3 The crew assumes the shift at 100% power with instructions to maintain 100% power. Emergency Diesel Generator A and Low Pressure Safety Injection Pump A is out of service.
Event 1: After taking the shift, Steam Generator #2 Narrow Range level channel SG-ILT-1123C will fail low on Safety Channel C. The crew will enter TS 3.3.1 action 2 (Functional Unit 8 - Steam Generator Level - Low), TS 3.3.2 action 19 (Functional Units 7b. Steam Generator Level - Low and 3+LJKDQG
7c. Steam Generator Level - Low and No S/G Pressure - Low Trip), TRM 3.3.1 action 1 (Functional Unit 1 - Steam Generator Level - High) and TRM 3.3.2 and bypass bistables 8, 10, and 20 on CP-10 for Channel C in accordance with OP-009-007, Plant protection System.
Event 2: After Technical Specifications are addressed and Channel C bistables are bypassed, Charging Pump B trips on overcurrent. The SRO will implement OP-901-112, Charging or Letdown Malfunction, Section E1, Charging Malfunction. The SRO should direct the ATC to start a standby charging pump after verifying a suction path available or isolate Letdown using CVC-101, Letdown Stop Valve. If Letdown is isolated, Charging and Letdown will be re-initiated using Attachment 2 of OP-901-112. The SRO should review and enter Technical Specification 3.1.2.4 and comply with the actions of TS 3.8.1.1.d. Technical Specification 3.1.2.4 may be exited after aligning Charging Pump AB to replace Charging Pump B. The SRO may implement EN-OP-200, Transient Response Rules.
Event 3: After Technical Specifications have been addressed, Pressurizer Pressure Control Channel RC-IPIC-0100X will fail low. The crew will observe pressurizer pressure alarms and that all PZR heaters are energized. The SRO will implement OP-901-120, Pressurizer Pressure Control Malfunction, Section E1, Pressurizer Pressure Control Channel Instrument Failure. The SRO should direct the ATC to align the alternate pressurizer pressure channel and verify correct Pressurizer pressure control response.
Event 4: After the crew has established control over the Pressurizer Pressure Control System, a Steam Generator Tube leak (~5 gpm) will occur on #2 Steam Generator. The SRO will enter OP-901-202, Steam Generator Tube Leakage or High Activity and attempt to quantify the leakage. Once leakage is determined to exceed 75 gallons per day, the SRO will enter OP-901-212, Rapid Plant Power Reduction and commence a plant shutdown. The SRO should enter Technical Specification 3.4.5.2 condition c, action a to be in HSB in 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and CSD in 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />. The SRO should enter EN-OP-200, Transient Response Rules. For the power reduction, the ATC will perform direct boration to the RCS as well as ASI control with CEAs and Pressurizer boron equalization. The BOP will manipulate the controls to reduce Main Turbine load.
Event 5: During the power reduction and turbine MW is equal to 1180 MW, the Main Turbine controls will shift from automatic to manual mode. The SRO will direct the BOP to maintain the turbine load reduction by controlling the turbine in manual mode in accordance with OP-901-212, Rapid Plant Power Reduction or OP-005-007, Main Turbine and Generator. The BOP will be manually changing governor valve position instead of controlling at a certain megawatt per minute rate.
Event 6: Once the BOP has established control of the turbine load reduction in manual, the Steam Generator Tube Leak will get worse and will turn into a Steam Generator Tube Rupture. The ATC will note that Pressurizer level is lowering and all available Charging pumps (A and AB) will be operating.
When it is determined that the Charging system cannot maintain RCS inventory, the SRO should direct the ATC to perform a manual Reactor Trip and to initiate a manual Safety Injection (SIAS) and Containment Isolation (CIAS).
Event 7/8: After the crew initiates SIAS, the A HPSI pump will degrade and trip upon starting and the B High Pressure Safety Injection (HPSI) Pump will fail to autostart. The BOP should manually start the B HPSI Pump (CRITICAL TASK 1). The SRO will enter OP-902-000, Standard Post Trip Actions and diagnose to OP-902-007, Steam Generator Tube Rupture Recovery.
The SRO will enter OP-902-007 and will perform a rapid plant cooldown to less than 520°F and isolate Steam Generator #2 (CRITICAL TASK 2). The crew should commence a depressurization of the RCS in an attempt to minimize the differential pressure and RCS leakage across the SG to prevent lifting a Main Steam Safety Valve or Atmospheric Dump Valve in automatic (CRITICAL TASK 3).
NRC Scenario 1 - Narrative 2018 NRC Exam Scenario 1 D-1 Rev 3 The scenario can be terminated after the crew has isolated Steam Generator 2 and commenced an RCS depressurization or at the lead examiners discretion.
NRC Scenario 1 - Critical Task Determination 2018 NRC Exam Scenario 1 D-1 Rev 3 Critical Task Safety Significance Cueing Measurable Performance Indicator Performance Feedback CT-1: Establish Required Safety Injection Flow This task is satisfied by starting the B High Pressure Safety Injection Pump such that Safety Injection flow is greater than or equal to the minimum required per the flow delivery curve in OP-902-009, Appendix 2-E prior to exiting the step (step 7) to establish adequate HPSI flow in OP-902-007.
This task becomes applicable following the Safety Injection Actuation Signal.
(OP-902-007, 7.a.)

HPSI Flow on CP-8 less than required HPSI Pump running light extinguished Procedurally driven from OP-902-007 step 7 Starts HPSI Pump B using control switch Adequate HPSI Flow on CP-8 indicated HPSI Pump running light illuminated CT-2: Isolate Most Affected Steam Generator This task is satisfied by manually closing Main Steam Isolation valve #2, Main Feedwater Isolation Valve #2, and MS-401B after RCS THOT has reduced below 520°F and prior to exiting the step (Step 17) to isolate the most affected Steam generator in OP-902-007, Steam Generator Tube Rupture Recovery. This task becomes applicable once the SGTR has commenced. (OP-902-007, 17)
RCS THOT < 520°F is based on Emergency Operating Procedure standard. Isolating the SG at a temperature higher than this value may complicate the response later in the scenario by not allowing a full depressurization of the RCS to below the lowest Main Steam Safety Valve setpoint. This higher RCS pressure will allow the RCS to continue to flow into the affected SG ultimately raising the SG level and pressure to the safety valve setpoint and cause a release that could have been prevented.

NRC Scenario 1 - Critical Task Determination 2018 NRC Exam Scenario 1 D-1 Rev 3 Critical Task Safety Significance Cueing Measurable Performance Indicator Performance Feedback CT-3: Prevent Lifting Affected SG Safety Valves This task is satisfied by performing a cooldown to THOT less than 520°F using the Steam Bypass Control System prior to closing the affected MSIV and commencing RCS depressurization towards <930 psia prior to lifting an Atmospheric Dump Valve or Main Steam Safety Valve on the affected SG.
This task becomes applicable once the SGTR has commenced. The ADV set point is 990 psig and the MSSV set point is 1070 psig. (OP-902-007, 11, 12)
RCS THOT < 520°F and RCS pressure
< 930 psia are based on Emergency Operating Procedure Standard. RCS temperature must be reduced below the temperature corresponding to the saturation pressure for the ADV/MSSV set point prior to closing the affected SG MSIV. RCS must be depressurized to below the lift setpoint of the MSSVs to prevent overfilling the SG and lifting the MSSVs. Depressurization does not necessarily need to be completed, but must be commenced to receive credit for the task. OPS management Standard documented in TM-OP-100-

NRC Scenario 2 - Narrative 2018 NRC Exam Scenario 2 D-1 Rev 3 The crew assumes the shift at 100% power with instructions to maintain 100% power. Emergency Diesel Generator A and Low Pressure Safety Injection Pump A is out of service.
Event 1: After taking the shift, RCS Wide Range Pressure Transmitter RC-IPT-0102B fails low. The crew will enter TS 3.3.1 action 2 (Functional Unit 5), TS 3.3.2 action 13 (Functional Units 1C and 3C) and bypass bistable 6 on CP-10 for Channel B in accordance with OP-009-007, Plant protection System.
Event 2: After Technical Specifications are addressed and Channel B bistables bypassed, the in service letdown backpressure control valve, CVC-123B will fail closed. The SRO will implement OP-901-112, Charging or Letdown Malfunction, Section E2, Letdown Malfunction. The SRO should direct the ATC and NAO to place the standby Backpressure control valve in service. The SRO may implement EN-OP-200, Transient Response Rules.
Event 3: After the standby Letdown backpressure Control Valve has been placed in service, CEA 11 (Reg. Group 4) drops into the core. The SRO should enter procedure OP-901-102, CEA or CEDMCS Malfunction and proceed to section E1, CEA Misalignment Greater than 7 inches. The SRO will direct the BOP to adjust turbine load to match TAVG to TREF initially and then perform a rapid plant down power in accordance with OP-901-212, Rapid Plant Power Reduction. RCS direct boration must commence within 15 minutes of the dropped CEA to comply with Technical Specifications and the COLR. The SRO should enter procedure OP-901-501, PMC or COLSS Malfunction. Actions in OP-901-501 are normally performed by the STA. The SRO should evaluate and enter TS 3.1.3.1 action c and TS 3.2.3 action a.,
and b.. The SRO should implement EN-OP-200, Transient Response Rules.
Event 4: After the crew has commenced the rapid plant down power, Steam Generator #1 Steam flow instrument FW-IFR-1011 fails low. The Feedwater Control System will respond by lowering Feedwater flow to Steam Generator #1. The SRO should direct the BOP to take manual control and match Feedwater and Main Steam flow. The SRO should enter OP-901-201, Steam Generator Level Control Malfunction. Feedwater controls for Steam Generator #1 may remain in manual as a result of this failure requiring manual control on a plant down power or reactor trip.
Event 5/6: After the crew has established control over SGWL for #1 SG, CEA 57 will drop into the core resulting in an automatic trip. The crew will respond using OP-902-000, Standard Post Trip Actions. The ATC should notice that 2 CEAs (40 & 65) have remained stuck out on the reactor trip and Emergency Boration is warranted (CRITICAL TASK 1).
Event 7/8: Once the crew has established Emergency Boration, a loss of offsite power will occur. During the loss of offsite power the B Emergency Diesel Generator will fail to auto start. The BOP should manually start the B EDG using the control switch to prevent the crew from entering the station blackout procedure (CRITICAL TASK 2). The SRO will diagnose and enter OP-902-003, Loss of Offsite Power /
Loss of Forced Circulation to stabilize the plant and to protect the Main Condenser. If Emergency Boration was previously started using BAM Pump A or BAM Pump B (A powered), then Emergency Boration will have to be re-initiated using gravity feed valves (B powered).
The scenario can be terminated after the crew has performed actions in OP-902-003 or at the lead examiners discretion.
NRC Scenario 2 - Critical Task Determination 2018 NRC Exam Scenario 2 D-1 Rev 3 Critical Task Safety Significance Cueing Measurable Performance Indicator Performance Feedback CT-1: Establish Reactivity Control This task is satisfied by manually initiating emergency boration using the gravity feed flowpath prior to entering OP-902-003, Loss of Offsite Power /
Loss of Forced Circulation. This is accomplished by opening BAM-113A or BAM-113B and closing CVC-183. This task becomes applicable following the Reactor Trip and the Loss of Offsite Power.
Based on Emergency Operating Procedure Required actions for Reactivity Control. Failure to initiate emergency boration would result in a condition that is not allowed by the facility license as analysis assumes that all CEAs are fully inserted during a reactor trip with the exception of the most reactive rod.

Rod bottom lights extinguished CEAs 40 & 60 CEA indicates withdrawn on CEAC Procedurally driven from OP-902-000 step 1.c.1 Opens BAM-113A or BAM-113B using control switch Closes CVC-183 using control switch Charging flow > 40 gpm on CP-4 BAM-113A or BAM-113B open indicating light illuminated CVC-183 closed indicating light illuminated CT-2: Energize at least 1 vital AC Bus This task is satisfied by manually starting Emergency Diesel generator B using the control switch prior to performing actions in OP-902-005, Station Blackout Recovery. This task becomes applicable once the Loss of Offsite power occurs.
Failure to energize at least one emergency bus will result in the plant remaining in a configuration that will not support protection if a subsequent event would occur. This lowers the mitigative capability of the plant.
Once the crew transitions to and begins taking actions in an inappropriate procedure without taking action to establish power to at least 1 safety bus when one is available demonstrates a significant performance deficiency regarding protecting critical safety functions.

NRC Scenario 3 - Narrative 2018 NRC Exam Scenario 3 D-1 Rev 3 The crew assumes the shift at 100% power with instructions to maintain 100% power. Emergency Diesel Generator A and Low Pressure Safety Injection Pump A is out of service.
Event 1: After taking the shift, Volume Control Tank (VCT) level instrument CVC-ILT-0227 fails high resulting in valve CVC-169 diverting letdown to the Boron Management System. The SRO should enter into procedure OP-901-113, Volume Control Tank Makeup Control Malfunction, and direct the ATC to place valve CVC-169 to the VCT position.
Event 2: After the crew addresses the VCT instrument malfunction, ENI Channel A Linear Power Instrument (ENI-IJI-0001-A), (upper channel), fails low. The SRO should review and enter Technical Specification 3.3.1 action 2 (Functional Unit 2 - Linear Power Level - High, Functional Unit 9 - Local Power Density - High, Functional Unit 10 - DNBR - Low) and bypass Hi Linear Power, Hi LPD, Lo DNBR (1, 3 & 4) within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> in accordance with OP-009-007, Plant Protection System.
Event 3: After Technical Specifications are addressed and Channel A bistables bypassed, Component Cooling Water Pump A trips on overcurrent. The SRO should enter OP-901-510, Component Cooling Water System Malfunction, and direct the start of Component Cooling Water Pump AB to replace Component Cooling Water Pump A. The SRO should enter Technical Specification 3.7.3 and cascading Technical Specifications per OP-100-014, Technical Specification and Technical Requirements Compliance and comply with a 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> action by performing OP-903-066, Electrical Breaker Alignment Check. Once CCW pump AB is in service Tech Spec 3.7.3 and cascading Tech Specs may not be exited because the AB electrical bus is aligned to the B side.
Event 4: After the standby Component Cooling Water Pump has been placed in service, a leak in the Main Condenser develops and Main Condenser vacuum begins to drop (approx. 2 minutes until first alarm and 4 minutes until <25 Hg vacuum). The SRO will enter OP-901-220, Loss of Condenser Vacuum. Main Condenser vacuum will drop below 25 inches, requiring a rapid plant power reduction.
The SRO will enter OP-901-212, Rapid Plant Power Reduction and should implement EN-OP-200, Transient Response Rules. Vacuum will drop below 25 inches but remain above 20 inches, the procedure trigger for tripping the Reactor. For the power reduction, the ATC will perform direct boration to the RCS as well as ASI control with CEAs and Pressurizer boron equalization. The BOP will manipulate the controls to reduce Main Turbine load.
Event 5: After the crew has commenced the rapid plant down power, and the ATC commences ASI control, Group P CEAs will automatically and uncontrollably begin to insert into the core. The ATC will recognize this and the SRO will direct a manual Reactor Trip in accordance with OP-901-102, CEA or CEDMCS Malfunction. The SRO will direct the crew to perform the Standard post Trip Actions in accordance with OP-902-000, Standard Post Trip Actions.
Event 6: After the reactor trip, an RCS leak occurs on RCS Cold Leg 1A that progresses to a Large Break Loss of Coolant Accident. The ATC should manually stop all RCPs following a loss of subcooling or loss of CCW to the RCPs (CRITICAL TASK 1). The crew should re-diagnose to OP-902-002, Loss of Coolant Accident Recovery Procedure.
Event 7: When the crew enters OP-902-002, LOCA Recovery Procedure, Low Pressure Safety Injection (LPSI) pump B will trip on overcurrent. The crew should recognize that OP-902-002 safety functions are not met and the SRO should go to OP-902-008, Functional Recovery. When the SRO performs prioritization, Inventory Control (IC-2) should be the highest priority. The SRO should request TSC/Shift Manager permission and direct the BOP to align Containment Spray pump B to replace LPSI pump B and re-establish LPSI flow (CRITICAL TASK 2).
The scenario can be terminated after the crew has re-established low pressure safety injection flow or at the lead examiners discretion.
NRC Scenario 3 - Critical Task Determination 2018 NRC Exam Scenario 3 D-1 Rev 3 Critical Task Safety Significance Cueing Measurable Performance Indicator Performance Feedback CT-1: Trip any RCP exceeding operating limits This task is satisfied by manually stopping Reactor Coolant Pumps prior to exiting Standard Post Trip Actions.
This task becomes applicable following a loss of subcooling in the RCS.
Based on EOP required actions for a Loss of Coolant Accident. RCPs are stopped for numerous reasons including potential RCP seal damage and pumping more mass out of the break that can result in uncovering fuel. In this case, the RCPs are stopped to prevent more mass lost out of the RCS which jeopardizes the fuel clad barrier worse than already contained in the scenario. OPS management standard documented in TM-OP-100-03.

CCW flow low/lost to RCPs alarms on CP-2 and CP-18 CCW valve status CP-2 CSAS initiated CP-8 Procedurally driven from OP-902-000 step 3.b.1 and 9.3 Stops RCPs using control switch RCP off light illuminated RCP indicated flow lowering CT-2: Establish Required Safety Injection Flow This task is satisfied by manually aligning an available Containment Spray Pump to replace a Low Pressure Safety Injection Pump prior to exiting step 11 of IC-2 Continuing actions located in OP-902-008. This task becomes applicable once the LPSI Pump B Trips.
Based on Emergency Operating Procedure Required flow. Failure to take action to establish required Low Pressure Safety Injection Flow during a loss of coolant accident would degrade the ability to maintain the fuel covered and cooled. OPS management standard documented in TM-OP-100-03.
