Replaced with 014 2.1.25 due to inapplicability of the K/A.
Hydrogen Recombiners are Retired-in-place at Wolf Creek and there are no graphs, curves, tables to interpret for Hydrogen Purge Control. The previous Chief agreed to change to the Turbine Topic since there are applicable associated operational curves.
RO T1/G1 029 2.2.36 029 2.2.44 029 - Anticipated Transient Without Scram Ability to analyze the effect of maintenance activities, such as degraded power sources, on the status of limiting conditions for operations.
Replaced with 029 2.2.44 due to inability to write a question with the given topic and generic K/A combination. There is no maintenance activity that would result in an ATWS scenario and the overall mitigating strategy of EMG FR-S1, ATWS is to purposely remove power from the Rod Drive Motor Generator sets to cause the rods to insert on a loss of power.
RO T1/G1 077 AK2.04 077 AK2.07 APE 077 - Generator Voltage and Electric Grid Disturbances Knowledge of the interrelations between Generator Voltage and Electric Grid Disturbances and the following: Controllers, positioners Replaced with APE 077 AK2.07 due to inapplicability of the K/A.

Replaced with WE04 EA2.1 due to oversampling with SRO Only section. WE05 EA2.2 is on SRO Only section so WE05 topic is sampled twice before all Tier 1 / Group 1 topics are sampled once. The previous Chief agreed to change in the interest of balance of coverage.
RO T3/G2 2.2.39 G 2.2.22 Generic 2.2.39 - Knowledge of less than or equal to one-hour Technical Specification action statements for systems.
Replaced with 2.2.22 due to inability to write a generic question for the given system extension K/A. This K/A cannot stand alone as a Generic Tier 3 Topic without being an extension of a Tier 2 System.
SRO T2/G1 012 2.1.20 022 2.1.20 012 - Reactor Protection System - Ability to interpret and execute procedure steps.
Replaced with 022 2.1.20 based on oversampling. 012 Topic was already sampled twice on the RO Section.
SRO T1/G2 APE 003 2.4.8 APE 005 2.4.21 APE 003 - Dropped Control Rod - Knowledge of how abnormal operating procedures are used in conjunction with EOPs.
Replaced with APE 005 2.4.21 due to inability to write a question at the SRO level for Dropped rod and using AOPs in conjunction with EOPs. The concept of flux distribution changes that might result from a dropped rod was also covered by RO question #30.
SRO T1/G2 APE 076 AA2.05 APE 076 AA2.02 APE 076 - High Reactor Coolant Activity Ability to determine and interpret the following as they apply to the High Reactor Coolant Activity: CVCS letdown flow rate indication Replaced with APE 076 AA2.02 as the letdown flowrate at Wolf Creek is based on orifice flow lineup, either 75 gpm or 120 gpm, and is independent of Reactor Coolant Activity. Raising flow to 120 gpm, as directed by Chemistry, to maximize flow through Ion Exchanger displays system level knowledge at the RO Level.
The previous Chief agreed to change in the interest of asking an Operationally valid discriminatory question based on High Reactor Coolant Activity.
SRO T3/G4 G 2.4.21 G 2.4.22 Generic 2.4.21 Knowledge of the parameters and logic used to assess the status of safety functions, such as reactivity control, core cooling and heat removal, reactor coolant system integrity, containment conditions, radioactivity release control, etc.
Replaced with 2.4.22 due to overlap with #85. Both questions covered K/A 2.4.21. The previous Chief agreed to change in the interest of balance of coverage.
ES-401 Record of Rejected K/As Form ES-401-4 Tier / Group Randomly Selected K/A Reason for Rejection SRO T3 G 2.4.37 G 2.4.44 Generic 2.4.37 - Knowledge of the lines of authority during implementation of the emergency plan.

Appendix D Scenario Outline Form ES-D-1 Wolf Creek ILO 2019, NRC Operating Exam, Scenario 1, Rev 4 SCENARIO # 1 NARRATIVE Turnover: The Unit is in MODE 2, operating at 4% power, BOL with A MFP in service. Maintain current power level while the crew briefs for entering MODE 1. Annunciators 103D and 103E are written on the White Board.
Event 1: A Condenser Mechanical Vacuum Pump Trips. A NPIS alarm will the first indication of pump trip as vacuum will not degrade very fast. The crew may use section 6.2 of SYS CG-120 to start a standby condenser vacuum pump. If Vacuum degrades to Ovation alarm setpoint of 4 inches, the crew may perform OFN AF-025, Attachment F. Step F6 directs using SYS CG-120 to start standby condenser vacuum pumps. Once a standby condenser vacuum pump is started and at the direction of the lead evaluator, the next will start.
Event 2: Loss of bus NN03. Annunciators 027A and 027C will actuate, indicating a loss of instrument bus power, as well as multiple annunciators that are symptoms of that power loss. Partial Trip Status PERMIS/BLOC Panel, SB-069, will also show columns of white lights for the loss of NN03 powered equipment. The CRS will direct Select out Blue which will prompt which will prompt ATC and BOP Operators to select alternate channels as memory actions. The ATC will select manual on the PZR Master Pressure Controller before selecting an alternate channel to prevent lifting a PORV. The BOP will manually isolate C ARV. The crew will perform OFN NN-021 and dispatch the Turbine Building Watch to investigate the loss of power, which was due to a maintenance worker inadvertently bumping open breaker NN0301. Closing this breaker restores power to NN03. Once the crew has reenergized the bus and determined applicable technical specifications, the next event will start as directed by the Lead Examiner.
Event 3: Inadvertent CSAS. An inadvertent CSAS will actuate on A Train and annunciator 059A will alarm. The crew will place EN HIS-3 in Pull-to-Lock as a Memory Action Step per OFN EN-049. The CSAS signal will NOT be able to be reset for the given failure, so the crew will have to evaluate LCO 3.6.3, 3.6.6, 3.6.7, 3.7.7 and 3.03 per step 16. Once Technical Specifications have been evaluated, Event 2 will start at the direction of the Lead Examiner.
Event 4: AB UK-33, Steam Dump Cooldown Controller fails HIGH in Auto. Controller Failure will be diagnosed by AB UK-33 output rising to 100% and the three Steam Dump Valves, AB UV34, AB UV-45 and AB UV41 fully opening. As a result of the steam dump valves opening, Tavg will drop, adding positive reactivity which will cause inadvertent MODE change to MODE 1 without prompt Operator Action.
S/G Levels rise due to swell causing MCB Annunciators 109B-111B to actuate. The BOP should take manual control of the failed AB UK-33 controller per AP15C-003, Manual Back-up to stabilize plant conditions. Once plant conditions are stable, the Major event will start as directed by the Lead Examiner.
Event 5: Earthquake, Large Break LOCA (18) on Loop 4 Cold Leg. The earthquake will be felt and associated annunciators will all actuate (98B, 98D, 98E). The crew will diagnose RCS pressure and PZR Level lowering, as well as degrading conditions in CTMT, and manually trip the Reactor, actuate SI and perform EMG E-0 Immediate Actions. The next three post-trip events will also be addressed by the crew.
Event 6: Three CTMT Isolation Valves fail to close on CISA. (BG HV-8160 LTDN SYS INNER CTMT ISO VLV, BG HV-8152 LTDN SYS OUTER CTMT ISO VLV, and KA HIS-29 INST AIR SPLY CTMT ISO VLV). This failure will be indicated on the ESF SYS Status Indication boards. The ATC, while performing EMG E-0, ATTACHMENT F should manually close one of the two valves Letdown valves to isolate the open path from CTMT while performing Step F3. The failure of KA HIS-29 supports the critical task as BG HIS-8160 fails closed on a loss of air to containment.
CT1: Close either BG HV-8152 or BG HV-8160 containment Phase-A isolation valves to isolate a relief path from containment prior to completion of EMG E-0, Attachment F.
Appendix D Scenario Outline Form ES-D-1 Wolf Creek ILO 2019, NRC Operating Exam, Scenario 1, Rev 4 Event 7: B CCW pump trips, A, C, and D CCW Pumps fail to autostart on SIS. The BOP, after completing Immediate Actions, should note no operating CCW Pump running to cool Red or Yellow Train Safety Loads and manually start either A, C, or D CCW Pumps. The ATC also has guidance per EMG E-0, ATTACHMENT F, Step F6, to manually start one of the two pumps in each train if one is NOT running at that time.
CT2: Manually start A, C, or D CCW pump to cool one Train of ECCS equipment within 30 minutes of SIS to prevent the loss of CCP or SI pumps.
Event 8: EJ HV-8811B, CTMT SUMP TO RHR PUMP SUCTION fails to open on RWST LOLO The crew will perform actions of EMG E-1, until RWST level drops to 36% and Annunciator 47D, RWST LEV LOLO1 AUTO XFR actuates. EJ HIS-8811B fails to auto open and because of RHR pump suction interlocks, the crew will have to Stop B RHR Pump, Close BN HIS-8812B, Open EJ HIS-8811B and restart B RHR Pump to complete the lineup for Cold Leg recirc on B Train.
CT3: Realign from ECCS injection mode to cold leg recirculation before RWST level reaches 6% with a failure of EJ HV-8811B to automatically open.
The scenario is complete when the crew completed procedure EMG ES-12 and verified cold leg recirculation.

Wolf Creek ILO 2019, NRC Operating Exam, Scenario 2, Rev 2 Critical Task Safety Significance Cueing Measurable Performance Indicators Performance Feedback CT 3: Isolate high head ECCS flow through the BIT before overfill of the RCS results in a rupturing of the pressurizer relief tank (PRT) at 91 psig.
Continued maximum injection causes RCS to go solid and PORV to open, passing excess inventory through PORVs to the PRT.
Failure to terminate ECCS flow when it is possible to do so results in a rupture of the PRT, spread of radioactive coolant into Containment, and constitutes an avoidable degradation of a fission product barrier, as well as additional risk of stuck open PORV (SBLOCA).
RCS pressure and pressurizer level rise. PORVs open, flow indicated. PRT level, pressure, and temperature rise.
When PRT ruptures at ~91 psig, PRT pressure drops and equalizes with Containment Pressure.
The Operator will isolate the BIT per EMG ES-03, Step 13, by Manipulation of the following handswitches on Panel RL018.

Event 1: Breaker 4-16 to 4.16 KV, Non-Safety, Bus SL-41Trips, Loss of power to A SW Pump. The crew will dispatch an Operator to investigate loss of bus SL-41 per ALR 00-011D and start B SW pump per ALR 00-08B to restore Service Water System pressure to >85 psig. Once the CRS has determined TRM 3.7.8 is applicable for loss of A SW Pump, the next event will start as directed by the Lead Examiner.
Event 2: B S/G Feed Flow Channel indicator AE FI-520 fails LOW. The crew will respond by taking manual control of AE FK-520, B FRV to match feed and steam flows per ALR 00-109C and then address the instrument failure per OFN SB-008, ATT C. Once the Crew has restored automatic control, the next event will start as directed by the Lead Examiner.
Event 3: B HDP Trips. Per OFN AF-025, ATTACHMENT A, Maximum unit load is at 95% for one HDP out of service. The crew will reduce load per OFN MA-038 and beginning of shift reactivity brief. Once reactor power has stabilized at the new lower power level, the next event will start as directed by the Lead Examiner.
Event 4: Turbine First Stage Pressure indictor AC PT-505 fails LOW. After control rods reach 204 steps in automatic, AC PT-505 will fail low. After confirming no load reject is in progress, the ATC operator will take rods to manual to stop inward rod motion. The crew will address the failure per OFN SB-008, ATT D. Once the CRS has determined applicable technical specifications, the next event will start at the direction of the Lead Examiner.
Event 5: Letdown Orifice valve BG HIS-8149BA fails closed: ATC will recognize loss of Letdown flow and Pressurizer Level rising. The ATC will address the failure by charging to seals only, and restoring Letdown using one of the other valves. ALR 00-032D may be initiated to control pressurizer level. The next event will start following restoration of Letdown or at the direction of the Lead Examiner Event 6: D RCP spuriously trips and the Reactor fails to Trip in BOTH Auto and Manual. The loss of flow causes multiple MCB alarms, including a Red First Out 86A, which indicates the reactor should have tripped due to RCS flow <89.9% on 3/3 loop flow instruments on1/4 RCS Loops while Reactor Power >48% (P8). After the crew attempts to manually trip the reactor unsuccessfully, they will perform Immediate Actions of EMG FR-S1, to open RDMG breaker power supplies for PG19 and PG20 to trip the Reactor.
CT 1: Given an ATWS, insert maximum negative reactivity into the core by manually Inserting control rods and deenergizing the control rod drive MG sets within 1 minute of the need to trip the reactor.
Event 7: A MD AFW Pump fails to Auto Start. The BOP will manually start A MDAFW Pump per EMG FR-S1, Step 3 RNO.
Event 8: Three S/G Safety Valves will fail open on A S/G and SI will actuate on A Train ONLY: As soon as the Reactor trips. Safety valves will lift on A, B and C S/Gs. The Safety valves will reseat on B and C S/Gs, while three A S/G safety valves stick open. Steam flow noises will be heard in the control room. Once the crew closes MSIVs, the faulted A S/G will be more evident, and they will transition to EMG E-2 to address the faulted A S/G.
Appendix D Scenario Outline Form ES-D-1 Wolf Creek ILO 2019, NRC Operating Exam, Scenario 2, Rev 2 CT 2: Isolate feed flow into the Faulted A S/G by closing AL HK-7A, SG A MD AFP AFW REG VLV CTRL and AL HK-8A SG A TD AFP AFW REG VLV CTRL before ANY RCS Cold Leg temperature reaches 240°F.
Once the crew isolates the Faulted S/G per EMG E-2, they will transition to EMG ES-03 to terminate SI.
CT 3: Isolate high head ECCS flow through the BIT before overfilling the RCS resulting in a rupture of the pressurizer relief tank (PRT) at 91 psig.
Event 9: SI fails to actuate on A Train ONLY: SI will actuate on A Train ONLY, The ATC will Manually Actuate SI on B Train during performance of EMG E-0 Immediate actions before the crew continues in EMG E-0 to verify proper SI Auto actuation.

Appendix D Scenario Outline Form ES-D-1 ILO 2019, NRC Operating Exam, Scenario 3, Rev 4 SCENARIO #3 NARRATIVE Turnover: The Unit is operating at 59% power. Yellow Train is in service. Benton Line was removed from service yesterday to replace multiple damaged poles expected to return tomorrow Event 1: B Stator Water Pump Trips and A Stator Water Pump fails to Auto start. An automatic runback of the turbine will occur. The crew will address the runback per ALR 0112C and/or OFN MA-001.
Once the crew has started A Stator Water Pump, and stabilized plant conditions, the next event will start at the direction of the Lead Examiner.
Event 2: Loop 2 TC instrument, BB TI-421) Fails LOW. There is no automatic plant response due to the channel failure in the low direction. Multiple MCB Annunciators will actuate, including 067D, LOOP 2 T AVG LO DEV which will help the crew diagnose which instrument failed. The crew will address the instrument failure using OFN SB-008, ATT L. Once the crew has evaluated technical specifications, the next event will start at the direction of the Lead Examiner.
Event 3: BG TCV-130 fails CLOSED in Auto. Annunciators 039B, LTDN HX DISCH TEMP HI will actuate and depending on timeliness of the crew response, Annunciator 039A may also alarm indicating letdown demineralizers have been bypassed due to high temperature. The crew will perform ALR 039B and/or 039A actions. Once crew has taken manual control of BG TCV-130 with letdown heat exchanger outlet temperature lowering, the next event will commence at the direction of the Lead Examiner.
Event 4: AE PT-508, Feed water header pressure channel fails LOW. In response to rising MFP speed, rising feed water flow and rising S/G levels, the BOP should take manual control of MFP TURBS MASTER SPEED CTRL and refer to the posted figure for programmed feedwater P to manually control feedwater flow as a Memory Action. The crew will address the instrument failure per OFN SB-008, ATT B. The next event will start at the direction of the Lead Examiner.
Event 5: C S/G Tube Leak. Annunciator 062A will actuate for Process Radiation levels at the ALERT level. When the crew investigates which PRM is alarming they will diagnose the S/G tube leak and enter OFN BB-07A. When S/G Tube leakage exceeds 150 gpd, the CRS will enter LCO 3.4.13, COND B.
Event 6: C S/G Tube Leak grows to 400 gpm SGTR. As the leak size grows, the crew will maximize charging, isolate letdown and Trip the Reactor and Actuate SI per foldout page direction. The next two post-trip events will also be addressed by the crew.
Event 7: Main Turbine fails to auto trip and will not trip using manual push buttons. While performing immediate actions, the BOP will note the turbine failed to trip and attempt to trip the turbine manually using the two pushbuttons. When that is unsuccessful, the BOP will use the ALL CLOSE push buttons to close MSIVs to isolate steam to the main turbine.
CT1: Manually ALL CLOSE main steamline isolation valves before a severe (orange-path) challenge develops to either the subcriticality (Positive IR SUR) or the integrity CSF (RCS Cold Leg Temperature
<240°F
Appendix D Scenario Outline Form ES-D-1 ILO 2019, NRC Operating Exam, Scenario 3, Rev 4 Event 8: Ruptured S/G C ARV opens to 100% on Reactor Trip: The crew will identify high steam flow rate for C S/G and/or open indication on C ARV and the BOP will manually close the valve.
CT2: Given an open ARV on ruptured S/G, Isolate feed flow into and steam flow from the ruptured C S/G before making an unnecessary transition to EMG E-2 from EMG E-0, Step 16 or to EMG C-31 due to RCS Subcooling <30°F, PZR Level <6% or Ruptured S/G Pressure <380 psig, by closing the following:
- AB PIC-3A, ARV
- AB HIS-20, MSIV
- AL HK-12A TD AFW REG VLVL CTRL
- AB V087 TDAFW Steam Supply from C S/G
- AB-V082, C S/G Low Point Drain The crew will transition to EMG E-3 to isolate C S/G and cool down and depressurize the RCS to meet SI Termination criteria to minimize break flow though C S/G tube rupture.
CT3: Commence controlled RCS depressurization to allow for SI termination per EMG E-3 prior to overfilling the ruptured C S/G (90% WR).
The scenario is complete when the crew has depressurized the RCS per EMG E-3 Step 25 and/or at the discretion of the Lead Examiner.

Appendix D Scenario Outline Form ES-D-1 Wolf Creek ILO 2019, NRC Operating Exam, Scenario 4, Rev 5 SCENARIO # 4 NARRATIVE Turnover: The Unit is operating at 100% power. Red Train is in service. B MD AFW Pump was removed from service 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> ago for emergent work. LCO 3.7.5, Condition B is entered.
Event 1: BB LI-459, Upper Selected PZR Level Channel fails HIGH. Annunciator 032A will actuate for high PZR Level and charging flow will lower, causing actual PZR level to lower. The crew will address using OFN SB-008, ATTACHMENT J to remove the failed channel from service and restoring automatic control. Once the CRS has determined applicable Technical Specifications, the next event will start as directed by the Lead Examiner.
Event 2: AB FT-543, D S/G Steam Flow instrument fails LOW. MCB Annunciator 111C will actuate due to feed/steam flow mismatch. The BOP will take manual control of AE FK-540, D FRV to match steam and feed flows as a Memory Action Step. The crew will address the instrument failure using OFN SB-008, ATT A. Once AE FK-540 is restored to Automatic, the next event will start at the direction of the Lead Examiner.
Event 3: NB02 Bus Degraded Voltage leading to power interruption and S/D Sequencer Actuation.
NB02 bus voltage drops to 3755v due to a fault on XNB02 transformer. Annunciator 022E will alarm once voltage is <3760v for 25 seconds. The crew will reference ALR 00-022E and in 94 seconds, the normal feeder breaker will trip open as designed. B EDG will start and load. The crew will address the interruption of power to NB02 per ALR 00-21C and OFN NB-030, ATT B, including reducing turbine loading to maintain reactor power 99% due to AFAS-T Actuation. Once the crew has stabilized plant conditions, determined applicable Technical Specifications, and secured the TDAFW Pump, the major event will start at the direction of the Lead Examiner.
Event 4: B ESW Pump fails to Auto Start on the S/D Sequencer. While responding to momentary loss of NB02, the ATC will note the failure of the B ESW pump to auto start and manually start the pump within ~3 minutes of the EDG starting and loading to prevent the EDG from tripping on high temperature.
CT1: Manually start B ESW pump before loaded B EDG trips on High Jacket Water Temperature at 195°F.
Event 5: Offsite Power is Lost. The reactor will trip and the crew will perform EMG E-0 immediate actions and transition to EMG ES-02. The next four post-trip events will also be addressed by the Crew.
Event 6: Four Control Rods fail to fully insert. The ATC, while performing EMG E-0 Immediate Actions will note the four control rods not fully inserted and manually trip the Reactor per Step 1 RNO using SB HS-1. EMG ES-02, Step 12 directs the crew to Emergency Borate per OFN BG-009 for this condition.
CT 2: Commence Emergency Boration due to more than one control rod stuck out before Positive IR SUR develops causing the crew to transition to EMG FR-S1 on an ORANGE path challenge to subcriticality CSF.
Event 7: TD AFW Pump trips and cannot be restarted. The BOP will identify the TD AFW Pump tripped. Any attempts to start manually will be unsuccessful.
Event 8: SGBSIS fails to actuate in Auto. Steam Generator Blowdown Containment Isolation Valves fail to close on S/G LoLo level immediately following the reactor trip. The crew may or may not notice the failure since there is no SIS. The crew will exit EMG E-0 without performing Attachment F, which would have prompted the crew to verify SGBSIS actuation. Both EMG ES-02, Step 1 RNO and EMG FR-H1, Step 3a directs the crew to manually close the four valves that failed to Auto Close. While not specifically a critical task, failure to manually close these valves will contribute to S/G dry-out conditions, requiring the crew to bleed and feed when WR S/G levels degrade to <12% [28%].
Appendix D Scenario Outline Form ES-D-1 Wolf Creek ILO 2019, NRC Operating Exam, Scenario 4, Rev 5 Event 9: A MD AFW Pump trips on overcurrent: After the crew has commenced Emergency Boration as required per EMG ES-02, Step 12, and/or at the direction of the Lead Examiner, the A MDAFW Pump will trip on overcurrent causing the crew to transition to EMG FR-H1.
The crew will be successful restoring aux feed water flow using the NS AFW Pump per SYS AP-122, NON-SAFETY AUX FEED PUMP OPERATION.
CT3: Restore AFW Flow >270,000 lbm/hr using NSAFW Pump per EMG FR-H1 before 3 of 4 S/G levels degrade to <12% [28%] WR level.
The scenario is complete when the crew has restored the Secondary Heat Sink per EMG FR-H1, Step 8 and/or at the discretion of the Lead Examiner.

Appendix D Scenario Outline Form ES-D-1 Wolf Creek ILO 2019, NRC Operating Exam, Scenario 5, Rev 3 SCENARIO 5 NARRATIVE Turnover: The Unit is operating at 100% power. Yellow Train is in service with letdown flow at 120 gpm, B Safety Injection Pump has been tagged out for emergent maintenance. LCO 3.5.2, COND A is entered.
Event 1: Trip of B TB CLCW Pump. Main Control Board Annunciators ALR 105A and 133A will both actuate. The crew should perform ALR 00-105A to restore cooling by starting A CLCW pump using EB HIS-1. Once cooling is restored, the Turbine Building Watch will be dispatched to locally clear the 133A Isophase Bus Trouble Alarm. Once cooling is restored and at the direction of the Lead Examiner the next event will start.
Event 2: Letdown Outlet Pressure Controller BG PK-131 Fails HIGH in Auto. The output on Controller BG PK-131 will fail to 100% in auto, causing letdown HX high flow and Annunciator 039E to actuate. Once the ATC has taken action to manually restore proper letdown flow, the next event will start at the direction of the Lead Examiner.
Event 3: NB01 Bus Lockout: The crew will respond to a bus lockout condition per ALR 00-018A, which requires prompt action to lower turbine loading to maintain power <100% due to AFAS-T Actuation and to Start B ESW pump. After plant conditions stabilize, the crew will perform OFN NB-030, ATTACHMENT A to address other equipment affected by loss of power to bus NB01. Once actions are complete and the CRS has determined technical specification implications and or at the discretion of the Lead Examiner, the next event will start.
Event 4: PRNI 42 Fails LOW. MCB Annunciators 78A and 83C will actuate. The crew will address the instrument failure using OFN SB-008, ATT R. After evaluating Technical Specifications and at the direction of the Lead Examiner, the Major event will start.
Event 5: Condensate Pump A Discharge Valve (AD HIS-8) fails closed. The crew will respond using OFN AF-025 to determine maximum power with only two condensate pumps is 90% (1102 MWE) and commence rapid downpower per OFN MA-038 IAW pre-shift reactivity brief. Once plant conditions have stabilized, and at the direction of the Lead Examiner, the next event will start.
Event 6: Small Break LOCA inside CTMT. RCS leak develops on Loop 3 Cold Leg that grows to ~2.0 break over 30 seconds, crew will diagnose, Manually Trip the Reactor and Actuate Safety Injection Event 7: BIT Inlet valves, EM HIS-8803A/B, fail to AUTO OPEN on SI. This malfunction, combined with B SI pump being out of service and a bus lockout on NB01, supports the critical task to establish high head injection prior to Core Cooling conditions degrading to Orange Path CSF and before tripping RCPs. The BOP operator may identify the valve failure while monitoring foldout page actions for the RCPs. The ATC performing EMG E-0, ATTACHMENT F will also be procedurally directed to establish the correct lineup at step F13.
CT1: Given a failure of the BIT inlet valves to open and no available Safety Injection Pumps, establish high head injection flow to the RCS by opening EM HIS-8803B before RVLIS Forced Flow Range drops to 66% w/ 4 RCPs running AND prior to Tripping RCPs.
CT2: Trip all RCPs within 5 minutes of RCS pressure going below 1400 psig per EMG E-0 foldout page step 1 AND after having established High Head Injection.
Appendix D Scenario Outline Form ES-D-1 Wolf Creek ILO 2019, NRC Operating Exam, Scenario 5, Rev 3 Event 8: B CCP Trips and BG FK-121 fails closed on SI. These failures, combined with initial conditions and NB01 bus lockout will cause crew to transition to EMG FR-C2 on an ORANGE PATH core cooling CSF where they will establish alternate high head injection using the NCP per ATTACHMENT A.
CT3: Establish Alternate High Head Injection per EMG FR-C2 prior to CET temperatures rising to 712°F and a transition to the RED path condition, EMG FR-C1.
The scenario is complete when the crew has transitioned to EMG FR-C2 and completed alignment of Alternate High Head Injection and/or at the discretion of the lead examiner
