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.
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.

SUMMARY
Event 1 Immediately following shift turnover, CRO1 performs a Quick Restart of RWCU (Reactor Water Cleanup) using RWCU-P-1B per SOP-RWCU-START, section 5.3. Following step 5.3.6 (and as directed by the turnover), CRO1 adjusts RWCU pump suction flow (as read on RWCU-FI-609) to ~400 gpm using RWCU-V-44 (RWCU Demineralizer Bypass).
Event 2 (TRG-2) Annunciators P851-S1 1-3 (SGT DIV 1 BOARD K1 Trouble) and P827-K1 2-4 (CHARCOAL FLTR A-1 OUTLET TEMP HI) come in due to high temperature condition inside Standby Gas Treatment (SGT) Train A caused by local strip heaters failing to de-energize. SGT-TI-6A (Carbon Filter 1 temperature indication) shows 265°F (normally ~107°F). ARM-RIS-8 (SGT Filter Area Radiation Monitor) also shows a small rise. CRS enters ABN-SGT-TEMP/RAD which directs starting the unaffected (B) SGT Train per SOP-SGT-START and recirculating the affected (A) SGT Train per ABN-SGT-TEMP/RAD, section 4.2. Following SGT system start, temperature and area radiation will slowly lower.
With SGT Train A Inoperable, the CRS refers to Technical Specifications and determines the following LCO applies:
LCO 3.6.4.3 A.1 - Restoring SGT Train A to Operable status within 7 days Event 3 (TRG-3) Annunciator P840-A2 9-3 (LP HEATER 3B LOW LEVEL) comes in when the HD-LIC-3B (Low Pressure Heater 3B Level Indicating Controller) output fails high in Auto resulting in low level in Low Pressure heater 3B. As directed by the Annunciator Response Procedure (ARP), the heater level controller on H13-P835 Board Y must be placed in Manual and output reduced to slowly restore heater water level to its normal level.
Event 4 (TRG-4) Annunciator P800-C3 7-2 (BUS 11 GROUND) comes in as a result of a ground on RFT-MOP/1A (Reactor Feedwater Turbine 1A Main Oil Pump) which causes the MOP to trip. RFT A control oil pressure (normally ~120 psig as read on pressure indicator RFT-PI-2/1A) starts lowering. RFT-P-AOP/1A (Reactor Feedwater Turbine 1A Auxiliary Oil Pump) fails to auto start as control oil pressure lowers to 70 psig and cannot be manually started. RFW-P-1A trips when control oil pressure reaches 50 psig (as indicated by annunciator P840-A1 1-1 (TURB A TRIP)).
Following the feed pump trip, and when RPV water level lowers to L4 (31.5), RRC (Reactor Recirculation) Pump 1B starts running back (from ~55 Hz) to 30 Hz, as designed but RRC Pump 1A fails to runback. When the RRC Pump 1A flow controller is used to manually runback the pump, it only lowers to 45 Hz. The CRS enters ABN-CORE and ABN-POWER to assess core operating conditions and RRC pump operating restraints.
With RRC loop flow mismatch not within limits, the CRS refers to Technical Specifications and determines the following LCO applies:
LCO 3.4.1 A.1 - Declare the recirculation loop with lower flow to be not in operation within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />.
Event 5 (TRG-5) TR-M1 (Main Power Transformer #1) trip causes Load Reject and automatic scram. All rods insert. Startup transformer breaker (S-1) fails to close (auto or manually) causing a loss of 4160 VAC Bus SM-1 and 480 VAC Bus SL-11. Division 1 Safety Bus (SM-7) also de-energizes due to failure of breaker B-7 (Backup Transformer feed breaker for SM-7) and the Division 1 EDG (DG-1) output breaker feed to SM-7 to automatically close. This results in DG-1 running without cooling water. (See Event 6)
CRS enters PPM 5.1.1 (RPV Control) on low reactor water level and ABN-ELEC-SM1/SM7 due to loss of busses.
PPM 3.3.1 (Reactor Scram) is also entered. The crew will not be able to shift the feedwater lineup to the startup flow control valves until power is restored to SL-11 (which powers key MOVs). The crew restores power to SM-7 per ABN-ELEC-SM1/SM7 (see Event 6) and SL-11 per SOP-ELEC-480V-OPS-QC. Meanwhile, RPV injection is accomplished with RCIC (Reactor Core Isolation Cooling) and/or HPCS (High Pressure Core Spray), as needed.
Appendix D NRC SCENARIO OUTLINE (SC-1) (Rev 0 - 9/13/2018) FORM ES-D-1 Columbia Generating Station CGS 2019 NRC Exam Scenario 1 Outline Page 4 of 6 Event 6 TR-B breaker B-7 and DG-1 Output breaker (DG1-7) fail to automatically close on SM-7 under voltage resulting in DG-1 running without the required SW (Service Water) cooling. The crew re-energizes SM-7 by closing EITHER breaker B-7 OR the DG-1 Output breaker within 10 minutes after the loss of SM-7 voltage. (CT-1) This action restores SW cooling to DG-1 and allows SM-7 to be used for Containment sprays. (See Event 9)
Event 7 When the Main Turbine trips following the scram, RRC (Reactor Recirculation) pump breakers (3B & 4B) fail to open allowing RRC-P-1B (RRC Pump 1A) to continue to run. The STOP PB will not secure the pump. Opening breaker RRB, 3B or 4B will secure the pump. (This is particularly important when RCC (Reactor Closed Cooling Water) cooling is lost to the pump on high DW pressure signal). (See Event 8)
Event 8 (TRG-8) Inboard MSIV closure causes steam leak upstream of MSL 'C' flow restrictor which causes high Drywell pressure and temperature. DG-2 fails to start on high DW pressure (due to an incomplete start sequence) and cannot be started manually. Division 2 Safety Bus (SM-8) remains energized from TR-S (Startup Transformer).
The CRS re-enters PPM 5.1.1 (RPV Control) on high Drywell pressure (1.68 psig) and enters PPM 5.2.1 (Primary Containment Control) on high Drywell pressure and high Drywell temperature (135°F).
Event 9 The CRS sets a key parameter for Wetwell pressure reaching 2 psig. When reached, RHR-P-2A (Residual Heat Removal Pump 2A) is used to spray the Wetwell per SOP-RHR-SPRAY-WW-QC. The CRS also sets a key parameter for Wetwell pressure exceeding 12 psig. When exceeded (and prior to exceeding Pressure Suppression Pressure (PSP) - PPM 5.2.1, Fig. F), RHR-P-2A is used to spray the Drywell per SOP-RHR-SPRAY-DW-QC. Drywell pressure reduction is successful.
Event 10 Two minutes after Drywell sprays are put into operation, an OBE (Operating Basis Earthquake) causes Drywell floor failure, an overcurrent trip of SW-P-1B followed by a trip of RHR-P-2A due to shaft seizure. With sprays no longer available (RHR pump 'A', RHR pump 'B', & SW pump 'B' are not available for Containment sprays), the CRS directs an Emergency Depressurization per PPM 5.1.3 (RPV Depressurization) once the Pressure Suppression Pressure (PSP) limit is exceeded per PPM 5.2.1, Fig. F. (CT-2)
TERMINATION CRITERIA: The scenario will be terminated when Drywell sprays have been initiated, an Emergency Depressurization has been performed, and RPV level is being controlled in the prescribed band OR as directed by the Lead Examiner.
Appendix D NRC SCENARIO OUTLINE (SC-1) (Rev 0 - 9/13/2018) FORM ES-D-1 Columbia Generating Station CGS 2019 NRC Exam Scenario 1 Outline Page 5 of 6 CT-1 Critical Task Statement:
Re-energize SM-7 by closing EITHER breaker B-7 OR the DG-1 Output breaker within 10 minutes after the loss of SM-7 voltage.
Safety Significance:
Loss of power to SM-7 removes redundant source of power needed to prevent a significant challenge to Safety Functions required to maintain a safe shutdown condition. With RHR-P-2B initially out of service, it is essential to restore power to SM-7 to allow use of RHR-P-2A to mitigate the event through spraying the Drywell (which reduces the challenge to Containment). DG-1 can run for 10.1 minutes without SW cooling before reaching its temperature limit of 220°F. Failure to provide SW cooling within this time frame could result in failure of the DG further impacting Safe Shutdown margin. (Ref: OI-69 (TCOA-1))
Initiating Cue:
- Annunciators showing SM-7 Loss of Voltage
- Bus SM-7 voltage as indicated on H13-P800 shows 0 VAC
- Control Board Breaker Status Measurable Performance Standard:
The operator will manually close breaker B7 OR breaker DG1-7 to re-energize Bus SM-7.
Performance Feedback:
Bus SM-7 voltage as indicated on H13-P800 shows approximately 4160 VAC.

Initiate Emergency Depressurization (ED) by opening seven (7) Safety Relief Valves (ADS Preferred) within 10 minutes of exceeding the Pressure Suppression Pressure (PSP) limit. CT considered met if any combination of 7 Safety Relief Valves are opened.
Safety Significance:
If Wetwell or drywell sprays could not be started or if their operation was not effective in reducing primary containment pressure, the RPV is depressurized to minimize further release of energy from the RPV to the primary containment. The PSP is a function of suppression pool water level. It is used in the EOPs to ensure that pressure suppression capability sufficient to accommodate emergency RPV depressurization is maintained while the RPV is at pressure. (Ref: PPM 5.0.10)
Initiating Cue:
Containment pressure is approaching the PSP limit as indicated in PPM 5.2.1 (Primary Containment Control), Fig. F.
Measurable Performance Standard:
7 Safety Relief Valves are manually opened.
Performance Feedback:
The valve light indications for each of the 7 Safety Relief Valves will change from Green lit to Red lit when control switch is taken to Open. Reactor pressure is lowering as indicated on MS-LR/PR-623A, MS-LR/PR-623B, or MS-PI-9.

SUMMARY
Event 1 CRO1 raises reactor power to 100% with RRC (Reactor Recirculation) flow at the rate of 1% per minute or 1 Hz per minute.
Event 2 CRO2 performs the HPCS System Operability Test, OSP-HPCS/IST-Q701 starting with step 7.3. The surveillance is performed concurrently with the power rise.
Event 3 During performance of OSP-HPCS/IST-Q701 (step 7.3.16), while raising HPCS system flow beyond 3000 gpm, the fuses clear for HPCS-V-12 (HPCS min flow valve). Annunciator P601.A1 6-8 (High Pressure Core Spray Out of Service) comes in. Investigation reveals BISI (Bypass and Inoperable Status Indication) for HPCS System shows a MOV Network Power Loss/Overload and that the position indications lights for HPCS-V-12 have gone out.
With power lost to HPCS-V-12 (which is a Primary Containment Isolation Valve), the CRS refers to Technical Specifications and determines the following LCOs apply:
LCO 3.6.1.3 C.1 - Isolate the affected penetration flow path by use of at least one closed and de-activated automatic valve, closed manual valve, or blind flange.
LCO 3.6.1.3 C.2 - Verify the affected penetration flow path is isolated once per 31 days.
Event 4 (TRG-4) Annunciator P602.A6 2-4 (Recirc A System VIB High) comes in due to high vibrations on RRC Pump 1A.
OPS2 will report RRC Pump 1A pump casing (X and Y) vibrations at 4.0 PK-G (above alarm set point), RRC Pump 1A pump casing (Z) vibrations at 4.5 PK-G (above alarm set point) and all other pump vibrations slightly higher but below their alarm set points. CRS directs a RRC flow reduction per PPM 3.2.6 (Power Maneuvering) with both RRC pumps (to reduce Pump 1A speed) in effort to reduce RRC Pump 1A vibrations. Vibrations slightly lower after speed reduction but remain above their alarm setpoints and continue to slowly rise thereafter.
Several minutes after the vibrations began, the RRC Pump 1A lower seal will start degrading as evidenced by rising RRC Pump 1A cavity pressure on RRC pressure instrument 602A. CRS enters ABN-RCC-SEAL. RRC Pump 1A upper seal pressure eventually exceeds 925 psig requiring tripping of the pump and entering ABN-RRC-LOSS. The CRS will also enter ABN-CORE to assess core operating conditions as it pertains to OPRM enabled, Reactor Recirculation flow, and Rod Line. Eventually both seals fail for RRC-P-1A (as evidenced by the RRC Pump 1A upper and lower seal pressures failing low) requiring isolation of the A RRC Loop per ABN-RRC-SEAL.
With only one RRC pump operating and the requirements of LCO 3.4.1 not met (LCO 3.2.1, LCO 3.2.2, and LCO 3.3.1.1 (Function 2b), the CRS refers to Technical Specifications and determines the following LCO applies:
LCO 3.4.1 B.1 - Satisfy the requirements of the LCO within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />.
Event 5 (TRG-5) RRC-P-1B trips requiring a manual scram due to no forced RRC flow as directed per ABN-RRC-LOSS Immediate Operator Actions. The CRS enters PPM 5.1.1 (RPV Control) on low RPV level. With no RRC pumps running, actions will be taken to limit thermal stratification of the RPV lower head region to include reducing CRD (Control Rod Drive) flow to the reactor and controlling RPV pressure in batches to induce water mixing.
Appendix D NRC SCENARIO OUTLINE SC-2 (Rev 0 - 9/13/2018) FORM ES-D-1 Columbia Generating Station CGS 2019 NRC Exam Scenario 2 Outline Page 4 of 7 Event 6 Following insertion of a manual scram, the Main Turbine trips but the Main Generator fails to automatically trip. The Main Generator is manually tripped by depressing either the Unit Emergency Trip pushbutton OR the Unit Overall Trip pushbutton at H13-P800 as directed in PPM 3.3.1 (Reactor Scram).
Recent Columbia OE illustrates a case when manually tripping the Main Generator (when required) failed to occur.
(CGS LER 2016-004-01)
Event 7 (TRG-7) OBE (Earthquake) causes RRC LOCA, broken RCIC (Reactor Core Isolation Cooling) shaft, and lockout of the Startup Transformer. DG-3 trips upon start and is unavailable (no HPCS (High Pressure Core Spray)).
LOCA develops causing a large loss of inventory and a rise in Drywell pressure. The CRS re-enters PPM 5.1.1 (RPV Control) and PPM 5.2.1 (Primary Containment Control) on high Drywell pressure (1.68 psig). Without the Startup Transformer following a unit trip, the normal source of feedwater injection is not available (feed and condensate).
RCIC (Reactor Core Isolation Cooling) and HPCS (High Pressure Core Spray) are also not available. The remaining high pressure (but low capacity) sources such as SLC (Standby Liquid Control) and CRD (Control Rod Drive) are insufficient to maintain RPV water inventory. RPV level starts trending down.
Event 8 When Drywell pressure reaches 1.68 psig, RHR-P-2A automatically starts with an overcurrent condition. The output breaker fails to trip which causes a lockout on SM-7. RHR-P-2B will not start and cannot be started. This leaves the crew with only RHR Pump 2C (which can be used for post-ED injection) and SW (Service Water) Pump 1B (which can be used for Wetwell and Drywell sprays and post-ED injection).
With the lockout of SM-7, DG-1 (which previously started on high Drywell pressure) is running without cooling water (SW (Service Water) Pump 1A de-energized when SM-7 locked out). DG-1 must be emergency tripped due to loss of SW cooling. (CT-1) (TCOA to trip DG-1 within 10 minutes - REF: OI-69 TCOA-1)
Event 9 As directed by PPM 5.2.1 (Primary Containment Control), the crew Initiates Wetwell Spray (using PPM 5.5.2 (RHR/SW Cross Tie Lineup and SW pump 1B)) when Wetwell pressure reaches 2 psig. Crew will spray Drywell (with SW pump 1B) when Wetwell pressure exceeds 12 psig and prior to exceeding PSP. Drywell pressure will start trending down once Drywell sprays are placed in operation.
Event 10 Crew Initiates Emergency Depressurization (ED) on low RPV level (CT-2) and restores RPV level to above TAF using low pressure systems. (CT-3)
TERMINATION CRITERIA: The scenario will be terminated when Drywell sprays have been initiated, an Emergency Depressurization has been performed, and RPV level is being controlled above TAF (- 161 inches) OR as directed by the Lead Examiner.

Trip Division 1 Diesel Generator (DG-1) within 10 minutes of Division 1 Safety Bus (SM-7) lockout.
Safety Significance:
Service Water provides cooling for Diesel Generator Diesel Cooling Water System (DCW). The DCW high temperature trip of the Diesel Generator is bypassed on a LOCA signal. The reservoir tank and the DCW volume provide adequate cooling for 10 minutes without Service Water (ME-02-94-42). If Service Water cannot be started within 10 minutes of the start of the Diesel Generator, the Diesel Generator must be tripped to avoid potential damage caused by over-heating. No Service Water available with SM-7 lockout present. (Ref: OI-69: TCOA-1)

SUMMARY
Event 1 RCC (Reactor Closed Cooling) pumps are swapped to RCC-P-1B running and RCC-P-1A in standby per SOP-RCC-OPS to support maintenance.
Event 2 (TRG-2) Annunciator P603.A8 3-5 (RBM UPSL OR INOP) comes in due to NUMAC failure of the B RBM (Rod Block Monitor). A physical withdraw block is generated preventing outward rod movement. The ARP (Annunciator Response Procedure) directs checking RBM status which shows it as the cause for the rod block due to RBM Downscale and RBM Inoperative trips.
The CRS directs bypassing the faulty RBM at H13-P603. Once bypassed, the physical Withdraw Block clears again allowing outward rod motion.
With RBM B bypassed (and made Inoperable), the CRS refers to Technical Specifications and determines the following LCO applies:
LCO 3.3.2.1 A.1 - Restore RBM channel to Operable status within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
Event 3 (TRG-3) Annunciator P601.A12 5-2 (LEAK DET RCIC EQUIP AREA TEMP HIGH) comes due to LD-TE-4A (RCIC (Reactor Cooling Isolation Cooling) Equipment Room temperature element) failing high. Temperature as read on LD-TRS-608 (RCIC Equipment Area Temperature Recorder) shows 400°F (failed high).
The resultant RCIC isolation signal generates a RCIC isolation and RCIC turbine trip. RCIC-V-8 does not auto close but can be closed manually.
With one channel of RCIC Function 3.e Inoperable (see LCO 3.3.6.1 Table 3.3.6.1-1), the CRS refers to Technical Specifications and determines the following LCO applies:
LCO 3.3.6.1 A.1 - Place channel in trip within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
With RCIC-V-8 (RCIC Turbine Steam Supply Isolation) failing to automatically isolate and therefore becoming Inoperable, the CRS refers to Technical Specifications and determines the following LCOs apply:
LCO 3.6.1.3 A.1 - Isolate the affected penetration flow path by use of at least one closed and de-activated automatic valve, closed manual valve, blind flange, or check valve with flow through the valve secured within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />.
LCO 3.6.1.3 A.2 - Verify the affected penetration flow path is isolated once per 31 days.
With RCIC system made Inoperable, the CRS refers to Technical Specifications and determines the following LCOs apply:
LCO 3.5.3 A.1 - Verify by administrative means High Pressure Core Spray System is Operable (Immediately).
LCO 3.5.3 A.2 - Restore RCIC System to Operable status within 14 days.
Event 4 (TRG-4) Annunciators P851.S1 5-1 (OPERATING BASIS EARTHQUAKE) followed by P601.A3 2-7 (Leak Detection Reactor Building Floor Sump R1 Leakage High) and P601.A2 3-2 (Leak Detection Reactor Building Floor Sump R2 Leakage High) come in due to the earthquake causing flooding into the RHR (Residual Heat Removal) Pump 2A and 2B pump rooms from the Wetwell. As the R1 and R2 sumps fill up, annunciators P602.A13 1-1 (Reactor Building Floor Sump R2 Level Hi Hi) and P602.A13 2-1 (Reactor Building Floor Sump R1 Level Hi Hi) also come in.
The CRS enters ABN-EARTHQUAKE, ABN-FLOODING and PPM 5.2.1 (Primary Containment Control). Wetwell emergency makeup per PPM 5.5.23 using HPCS (High Pressure Core Spray) commences. One minute after HPCS
Appendix D NRC SCENARIO OUTLINE SC-3 (Rev 0 - 9/13/2018) FORM ES-D-1 Columbia Generating Station CGS 2019 NRC Exam Scenario 3 Outline Page 4 of 7 is injecting into the Wetwell for makeup, HPCS trips effectively securing makeup allowing Wetwell level to start lowering again. As RHR Pump A and B rooms continue to be flooded, annunciators P601.A4 5-3 (RHR A PUMP ROOM WATER LEVEL HIGH) and P601.A2 2-7 (RHR B PUMP ROOM WATER LEVEL HIGH) come in requiring the CRS to enter PPM 5.3.1 (Secondary Containment Control). Due to the rupture being unisolable with a continuing downward Wetwell level trend, the CRS directs a manual scram (see Event 5). Note: CRS may also direct a manual scram based on degrading plant conditions per ABN-EARTHQUAKE.
Event 5 CRS directs manual scram before Wetwell level reaches 19 ft 2 in. May scram earlier based on plant damage caused by earthquake. Upon placing the reactor Mode switch in Shutdown, no control rods insert. Use of the manual scram pushbuttons and Alternate Rod Insertion (ARI) also fail to shut down the reactor. SLC (Standby Liquid Control) is initiated but to little effect (see Event 7).
Event 6 High Power Hydraulic ATWS - CRS enters PPM 5.1.1 (RPV Control) and transitions to PPM 5.1.2 (RPV Control -
ATWS).
CRS directs the following major additional actions:
Inhibit ADS (Automatic Depressurization System)
Take manual control of HPCS Perform PPM 5.5.6 (Bypassing the MSIV Isolation Interlocks on High Tunnel Temperature and Low RPV Level)
Perform PPM 5.5.1 (Overriding ECCS Valve Logic to Allow Throttling RPV Injection)
Terminate and prevent injection into the RPV with the exception of SLC, RCIC, and CRD, to establish a LL
(-80" to -140" Band) (CT-1)
Event forms portion of significant CGS PSA Accident Sequence (TTC044) (Ref: PSA-1-SM-0001)
Event 7 SLC-P-1A experiences severe flow reduction and SLC-P-1B experiences shaft break when SLC injection required.
Leaves control rod insertion as primary means to shutdown reactor under all conditions. (See Event 8)
Event 8 CRS directs performance of PPM 5.5.11 (Alternate Control Rod Insertions) to insert control rods based on a hydraulic ATWS (CT-2). Attachment 6.1 - Tab B is used to insert control rods manually or through one or more Scram-Reset-Scram attempts.
All control rods insert after the first Scram-Reset-Scram is performed. CRS exits PPM 5.1.2 and returns to PPM 5.1.1 once all rods are in.
Event 9 As Wetwell level continues to lower during ATWS actions, a decision will have to be made by the CRS as to whether an Emergency Depressurization (ED) is to be performed per PPM 5.1.5 (Emergency RPV Depressurization - ATWS) if rods have yet to be fully inserted or per PPM 5.1.3 (Emergency RPV Depressurization) after all control rods have been inserted. It is expected that the crew will be able to insert all rods before an ED is required since all control rods fully insert on the first Scram-Rest-Scram attempt.
In either case, ED is initiated by opening the first of seven (7) Safety Relief Valves (ADS preferred) before Wetwell level lowers to 19 feet, 2 inches. CT considered met if any combination of 7 Safety Relief Valves are opened within 10 minutes of Wetwell level lowering below 19 feet, 2inches. (CT-3)
TERMINATION CRITERIA: The scenario will be terminated when all control rods have been fully inserted, an Emergency Depressurization has been performed, and RPV level is being controlled in the prescribed band OR as directed by the Lead Examiner.

Stop and prevent injection into the RPV, with the exception of SLC, RCIC, and CRD, to establish an LL of -65 inches in an ATWS with GT 5% power within 20 minutes of entry into PPM 5.1.2.
Safety Significance:
If reactor power is above 5% or unknown, direction will be given to lower RPV level below the elevation of the feedwater spargers to prevent or mitigate the consequences of any irregular neutron flux oscillations induced by neutronic/thermal-hydraulic instabilities. With the spargers in the steam space, heating of the feedwater by contact with the steam reduces core inlet subcooling. The initiation and growth of oscillations is principally dependent upon the core inlet subcooling; the greater the subcooling, the more likely oscillations will commence and increase in magnitude. -65 in. (twenty-four inches below the feedwater sparger) has been selected as the upper bound of the RPV water level control band. This water level is sufficiently low that steam heating of the injected water will be at least 75% effective.
Initiating Cue:
Reactor scram required and reactor not shutdown as indicated by APRM Downscale lights not lit and Reactor Power indicating >5% on APRMs or cannot be determined.
Measurable Performance Standard:
Stop and prevent injection with the exception of SLC, RCIC, and CRD in accordance with OI-15, within 20 minutes of entry into PPM 5.1.2.
Performance Feedback:
RPV level is lowering as indicated on RPV NR & WR Level instrumentation and reactor power is lowering as indicated on APRMs.
Appendix D NRC SCENARIO OUTLINE SC-3 (Rev 0 - 9/13/2018) FORM ES-D-1 Columbia Generating Station CGS 2019 NRC Exam Scenario 3 Outline Page 6 of 7 CT-2 Critical Task Statement:
With reactor scram required and the reactor not shutdown, commence inserting control rods per PPM 5.5.11 (Attachment 6.1 - Tab B) within 20 minutes of entry into PPM 5.1.2.
Safety Significance:
If reactor power is elevated (above the APRM downscale trip setpoint) or cannot be determined, the core may be susceptible to large, irregular neutron flux oscillations.
Analyses of neutronic / thermal-hydraulic instabilities during failure-to-scram conditions have been performed. Instabilities are manifested by oscillations in reactor power which, if the reactor cannot be shutdown, may increase in magnitude. If the oscillations remain small or moderately sized, they tend to repeat on approximately a two second period.
Under certain circumstances, however, the oscillations may continue to grow and become sufficiently large and irregular to cause localized fuel damage. The initiation and growth of these oscillations is principally dependent upon the subcooling at the core inlet: the greater the subcooling, the more likely oscillations will commence and increase in magnitude. Reactor shutdown on control rod insertion alone is the preferred way to ensure reactor stays shutdown under all conditions.
Initiating Cue:
Reactor scram required and all control rods are not full in with Reactor Power indicating
>5% on APRMs or cannot be determined.
Measurable Performance Standard:
Control rods are being inserted per PPM 5.5.11 (Attachment 6.1 - Tab B).
Performance Feedback:
Reactor Power as indicated on the APRMs / IRMs / SRMs is decreasing as control rods are being inserted.

Initiate Emergency Depressurization (ED) by opening the first of seven (7) Safety Relief Valves (ADS preferred) before Wetwell level lowers to 19 feet, 2 inches. CT considered met if any combination of 7 Safety Relief Valves are opened within 10 minutes of Wetwell level lowering below 19 feet, 2inches.
Safety Significance:
Wetwell level must be maintained above the elevation of the downcomer vent openings to ensure that steam discharged from the drywell into the Wetwell following a primary system break will be adequately condensed. (Results of the Bodega Bay Mark I containment tests indicate 95% steam condensation may be achieved from a vertical downcomer vent that discharges at a level six inches above the suppression pool surface.) If Wetwell level cannot be maintained above the specified minimum value, steam may not be adequately condensed and primary containment pressure could exceed allowable limits. Since the RPV may not be kept at pressure when pressure suppression capability is unavailable, Emergency RPV Depressurization is required.
Initiating Cue:
Suppression Pool water level is approaching 19 ft 2 inches as indicated on CMS-LR-3 or CMS-LR-4.
Measurable Performance Standard:
7 Safety Relief Valves are manually opened.
Performance Feedback:
The valve light indications for each of the 7 Safety Relief Valves will change from Green lit to Red lit when control switch is taken to Open. Reactor pressure is lowering as indicated on MS-LR/PR-623A, MS-LR/PR-623B, or MS-PI-9.

SUMMARY
Event 1 CR01 is tasked with withdrawing control rods as required to raise reactor power to ~15%. Rod movement is performed per SOP-CR-MOVEMENT. The first rod (02-35) will be withdrawn from notch 12 to full out (notch 48) followed by a coupling check, which passes. The second rod to be withdrawn (34-59) is also withdrawn from notch 12 to full out (notch 48) followed by a coupling check. This time the coupling check fails. (See Event 2).
Event 2 When the second (2nd) control rod (34-59) is withdrawn to notch 48 and a coupling check performed, annunciator P603.A7 1-8 (ROD OVERTRAVEL) will come in. In addition, the rod position indicator goes from showing notch 48 to a blank position (beyond notch 48). This is evidence of an uncoupled control rod. Annunciator Response Procedure (ARP) directs fully inserting affected control rod and disarming its HCU (Hydraulic Control Unit).
With control rod 34-59 Inoperable, the CRS refers to Technical Specifications and determines the following LCOs apply:
LCO 3.1.3 C.1 - Fully insert Inoperable control rod within 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br />.
LCO 3.1.3 C.2 - Disarm the associated CRD within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />.
Event 3 (TRG-3) A failure of level switch RCIC-LS-15B (RCIC Suction Switchover CST Level Low) results in an automatic shift of the RCIC (Reactor Core Isolation Cooling) suction from the Condensate Storage Tanks to the Wetwell.
Condensate Storage Tank (CST) levels are normal. During the automatic transfer, RCIC-V-31 (Wetwell suction) opens but RCIC-V-10 (Condensate Storage Tank suction) fails to automatically close. Operator action required to close RCIC-V-10 manually.
With one channel of RCIC Function 3 Inoperable (see LCO 3.3.5.2 Table 3.3.5.2-1), the CRS refers to Technical Specifications and determines the following LCOs applies:
LCO 3.3.5.2 A.1 - Enter the Condition referenced in Table 3.3.5.2-1 for the channel (Immediately).
LCO 3.3.5.2 D.2.1 - Place channel in trip within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> - OR -
LCO 3.3.5.2 D.2.2 - Align RCIC pump suction to the suppression pool within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
Event 4 (TRG-4) Annunciators P603.A7 2-7 (ROD OUT BLOCK), P603.A8 2-6 (APRM UPSCALE), and P603-A8 1-6 (APRM UPSCL OR INOP TRIP) come in as a result of an APRM (Average Power Range Monitor) upscale failure.
Investigation of the ODAs (Operator Display Assemblies) at P603 or the APRM Chassis at P608 reveals APRM D upscale failure.
The CRS will direct APRM D channel bypassed and refer to LCO 3.3.1.1 (RPS Instrumentation). With 3 (three) required APRM channels remaining Operable, no further Tech Spec action is required (other than tracking the Inoperable APRM).
Event 5 (TRG-5) Annunciator P820-B1 6-5 (DEH PUMP DISCHARGE PRESS LOW) comes in as a result of a shaft shear on the running DEH (Digital Electro-Hydraulic) pump (DEH-P-1B). DEH discharge header pressure as read on the EHC MAIN DISPLAY starts trending down. As pressure lowers below 1800 psig, the standby EHC pump (DEH-P-1A) fails to automatically start.
Appendix D NRC SCENARIO OUTLINE SC-4 (Spare) (Rev 0 - 9/13/2018) FORM ES-D-1 Columbia Generating Station CGS 2019 NRC Exam Scenario 4 Outline Page 4 of 6 CRO may directly start the standby pump once EHC pressure lowers below 1800 psig by noting that the standby pump should have automatically started but didnt. The Annunciator Response Procedure (ARP) also directs starting the standby pump. DEH discharge header will be restored once the standby pump has been started.
Event 6 Note: The below annunciators are the main annunciators for the event. The ES-D-2 forms will describe the initiating annunciators in addition to those below.
(TRG-6) Steam leak develops upstream of RCIC-V-8 (RCIC Turbine Steam Isolation) in TIP Mezzanine area in the Reactor Building. Annunciators P601.A2 2-2 (LEAK DET RWCU ROOMS TEMP HI-HI), P601.A3 2-5 (LEAK DET RWCU ROOMS TEMP HI-HI), P601.A2 1-1 (LEAK DET RCIC PIPE ROUTING AREA TEMP HI-HI), and P601.A3 1-8 (LEAK DET RCIC PIPE ROUTING AREA TEMP HI-HI) come in when the TIP Mezzanine area temperature reaches 160°F.
The annunciators are accompanied by generated isolation signals which cause the RWCU (Reactor Water Cleanup) system to isolate by closing pump suctions (RWCU-V-1 and RWCU-V-4) and then tripping the RWCU pumps.
The same generated isolation signals attempt to isolate the RCIC (Reactor Core Isolation Cooling) system by closing RCIC-V-8 (RCIC Turbine Steam Supply Isolation) which does close and RCIC-V-63 (RCIC Steam Supply Line Inboard Isolation Valve) which does not close (valve goes intermediate and stops). Any manual attempt to close RCIC-V-63 is unsuccessful.
CRS enters ABN-HELB (High Energy Line Break) and PPM 5.3.1 (Secondary Containment Control).
Manual scram is required before the TIP Mezzanine area temperature reaches the Maximum Safe Operating Temperature (MSOT) of 212°F. (CT-1)
Event 7 Note: The below annunciators are the main annunciators for the event. The ES-D-2 forms will describe the initiating annunciators in addition to those below.
(TRG-7) Five (5) minutes after the manual scram, annunciators P851.S1 5-1 (OPERATING BASIS EARTHQUAKE) followed by P601.A2 3-1 (LEAK DET MSL TUNNEL TEMP HI-HI) and P601.A3 1-7 (LEAK DET MSL TUNNEL TEMP HI-HI) occur as a result of an earthquake causing a steam leak in the Main Steam Tunnel.
The annunciators are accompanied by generated isolation signals which attempt to isolate the Main Steam system by closing all four (4) Inboard MSIVs (MS-V-22A through D) and all four (4) Outboard MSIVs (MS-V-28A through D). All of the Outboard MSIVs automatically close but none of the Inboard MSIVs automatically close.
As a minimum, MS-V-22D has to be manually closed to isolate the leak. Once isolated, Main Steam Tunnel temperatures start trending down thereby preventing a second Maximum Safe Operating Temperature (MSOT).
(CT-2)
TERMINATION CRITERIA: The scenario will be terminated when a manual scram has been inserted and the main steam leak in the Main Steam Tunnel has been isolated OR as directed by the Lead Examiner.
Appendix D NRC SCENARIO OUTLINE SC-4 (Spare) (Rev 0 - 9/13/2018) FORM ES-D-1 Columbia Generating Station CGS 2019 NRC Exam Scenario 4 Outline Page 5 of 6 CT-1 Critical Task Statement:
When a primary system is discharging into the secondary containment, manually scram the reactor before any area exceeds its Maximum Safe Operating Temperature (MSOT).
Safety Significance:
If a primary system is discharging into the secondary containment, one of three conditions must exist:
A primary system break cannot be isolated because the system is required for damage control or must be operated in PPM 5.1.1 through PPM 5.2.1.
No isolation valves exist upstream of a primary system break, or if isolation valves do exist, they cannot be closed because of some mechanical / electrical /
pneumatic failure.
The source of the discharge cannot be determined.
If any temperature in any one of the areas listed in Table 23 approaches its MSOT, adequate core cooling, containment integrity, safety of personnel, or continued operability of equipment required to perform EOP flowchart actions can no longer be assured. PPM 5.1.1, RPV Control, must be entered to make certain the reactor is scrammed. Scramming the reactor reduces decay heat levels and the energy that the RPV may be discharging to the secondary containment.
Initiating Cue:
Primary system is discharging into the secondary containment and any area is approaching its MSOT.
Measurable Performance Standard:
Manual reactor scram initiated by placing the mode switch to Shutdown.
Performance Feedback:
Reactor shutdown as indicated by APRMs downscale.
Appendix D NRC SCENARIO OUTLINE SC-4 (Spare) (Rev 0 - 9/13/2018) FORM ES-D-1 Columbia Generating Station CGS 2019 NRC Exam Scenario 4 Outline Page 6 of 6 CT-2 Critical Task Statement:
When a primary system is discharging into the secondary containment, isolate the discharge before area temperatures exceed Maximum Safe Operating Temperature (MSOT) in more than one area.
Safety Significance:
Should secondary containment temperature continue to increase and exceed its MSOT in more than one area, the RPV must be Emergency Depressurized. To prevent an unwanted Emergency RPV depressurization, any discharge from the primary containment to secondary containment must be isolated before exceeding a second MSOT. Isolating the high energy system mitigates a direct and immediate threat to secondary containment integrity, protects equipment located in secondary containment, and protects personnel on and off the site.
Initiating Cue:
Primary system is discharging into the secondary containment and a second area is approaching its MSOT.
Measurable Performance Standard:
Leak from primary to secondary containment is isolated through operator action.
Performance Feedback:
Primary system stops discharging into secondary containment and associated secondary containment temperatures start to lower.
