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.

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.

Turnover:
AOP-29, Severe Weather entered for Severe Thunderstorm Warning.
Event 1 - (Triggered by Lead Examiner)
APRM F fails upscale per ARP, APRM B OR F UPSCALE TRIP OR INOP, H13-P680/06A/A03. ATC bypasses APRM F and resets the half scram.
Event 2 - (Triggered by Lead Examiner)
After APRM F is bypassed and half scram is reset, the Division 2 Diesel Generator will automatically start due to a relay failure (2018 Robinson OE) and an oil leak will require crew to secure the diesel generator (2018 Fermi OE). Division 2 Diesel Generator will not be able to restart after it is secured. Division 2 Diesel Generator is not available for remainder of scenario. CRS entered LCO 3.8.1 AC Sources - Operating Condition C One required DG inoperable and 3.3.8.1 Condition A 3.3.8.1 Loss of Power (LOP)
Instrumentation Condition A.
Event 3 - (Triggered by Lead Examiner)
CCP P1B pump trips and CCP P1A fails to auto start. BOP manually starts CCP P1A and restores normal CCP flow and pressure. CRS enters AOP-11, Loss of Reactor Plant Component Cooling Water, and directs manual start of CCP P1C.
Event 4 - (Triggered by Lead Examiner)
APRM B fails upscale per ARP, APRM B OR F UPSCALE TRIP OR INOP, H13-P680/06A/A03. CRS enters LCO 3.3.1.1 RPS Instrumentation Condition A One or more required channels inoperable.
Event 5 - (Triggered by Lead Examiner)
RWCU Valve Nest Room steam leak per RWCU HIGH DIFF FLOW, H13-P680/01A/B06. All isolation valves automatically close. A RWCU pump fails to trip.
ATC manually secures the A RWCU pump.
NOTE: The 2018 NRC Scenario 3 had a RWCU leak as major (unisolable). This malfunction has the leak auto isolate, but the pump fails to stop.
Event 6 - (Triggered by Lead Examiner)
Station Blackout occurs with a LOCA. The crew does not have any high pressure feed available. When the Division 1 Diesel Generator output breaker is closed, the division 1 ECCS systems will be available to restore reactor water level once the crew emergency depressurizes.
2019 NRC Scenario 1 Revision 1 Event 7 - (Initial Setup - Automatic)
Division 3 bus fault prevents Division 3 equipment from being energized. HPCS is inoperable.
NOTE: This is similar to a malfunction used in 2016 NRC Scenario 4.
Event 8 - (Initial Setup - Automatic)
Division 1 Diesel Generator output breaker fails to auto close. The BOP operator manually closes the diesel output breaker, allowing the diesel to automatically energize the Division 1 bus.
2019 NRC Scenario 1 Revision 1 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).
Manually close ENS-ACB07, STBY D/G A OUTPUT BRKR, prior to exiting EOP-1 and entering the SAPs for reactor water level.
EVENT 6
8 Safety Significance Per EOP-1, RPV Control, ALC-12 bases, 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, RPV Control, ALC-13 and ALC-14, when adequate core cooling cannot be restored and maintained after maximizing injection with all available sources, exit all EOPs and enter all SAPs.
When ENS-ACB07 is manually closed, the diesel will energize the division 1 bus. This will energize the division 1 ECCS systems.
LPCS and RHR A will be available for injection to restore reactor water level.
Cueing Reactor water level lowering on wide range and fuel zone indications.
Diesel voltage and frequency indications are normal with the output breaker open and ENS-ACB06 closed. All division 1 equipment not energized.
- 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 significant plant degradation or significantly alters a mitigation strategy

2019 NRC Scenario 2 Revision1 SCENARIO ACTIVITIES:
Initial Conditions:
100% Power. 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> ago RCIC was tagged out for governor repair.

Event 1 - (Triggered by Lead Examiner)
Containment Unit Cooler A trips requiring start of the non-safety related unit cooler C.
Entry is made into Tech Spec 3.6.1.7 Condition A.
Event 2 - (Triggered by Lead Examiner)
Loss of RPS A occurs. Building Operator reports EPA breakers 1st one is tripped on undervoltage and the second one is still closed. CRS declares the second EPA breaker INOP. LCO 3.3.8.2 RPS Electric Power Monitoring Condition A. One or both in-service power supplies with one electric power monitoring assembly inoperable.
NOTE: The crew will exit the LCO when RPS is transferred to the alternate power supply. A follow-up question may be required to ask what tech specs applied prior to transferring RPS to the alternate power supply.
NOTE: A loss of RPS B was used in 2016 Scenario 3. There are different priorities and restoration with RPS A. The most limiting restoration and difference is the loss of instrument air with the loss of RPS A.
Event 3 - (Triggered by Lead Examiner)
CNM-F114, CNDS MIN RECIRC fails open and crew manually closes it per RX FW PUMPS LOW SUCTION PRESS, H13-P680/03A/B03. AOP-6, Condensate/Feedwater Failures, is also entered and directs manual control.
Event 4 - (Triggered by Lead Examiner)
MSTR SEP DRAIN TANK HIGH WATER LEVEL, H13-P870/53A/H03, alarms. BOP manually operates DSM-LV78A, SHELL RCVR TK A HIGH DUMP valve to maintain drain tank water level in band.
NOTE: If the crew fails to recognize and correct the issue in 60 seconds the turbine will trip.
Event 5 - (Triggered by Lead Examiner)
After several manipulations, DSM-LV78A, SHELL RCVR TK A HIGH DUMP fails to manually re-open. The ATC manually scrams the reactor and trips the turbine.
Event 6 - (Initial Setup - Automatic)
2019 NRC Scenario 2 Revision1 The mode switch and ARI dont work. The ATC must manually scram with RPS pushbuttons per AOP-1, Reactor Scram.
NOTE: 2018 NRC Scenario 4 used ARI pushbuttons, which is similar to RPS pushbuttons.
Event 7 - (Initial Setup - Automatic)
After the turbine trip, the fast transfer fails. Feed is lost and ATC must manually restore feed and condensate.
Event 8 - (Initial Setup - Automatic)
HPCS injection valve stuck closed. This removes all high pressure feed. Alternate level control will be entered until feed and condensate is restored.
The reactor mode switch will be stuck in the RUN position. At 849 psig reactor pressure, the MSIV will close resulting in a transition to SRVs for pressure control.
2019 NRC Scenario 2 Revision1 CT-1 CT-2 Critical Task Reactor must be scrammed using RPS manual pushbuttons prior to tripping both recirc pumps per EOP-1A, RPV CONTROL ATWS.
Manually restore feed prior to RPV water level reaching the top of active fuel.
EVENT 6
7 Safety Significance Per AOP-1, Reactor Scram, Immediate Operator Actions, 4.3 If all control rods are not fully inserted, then perform one or both of the following steps to insert control rods: 4.3.1 Arm and depress C71A-S3A, B, C, and D, MANUAL SCRAM Pushbuttons.
Per EOP-1, Step RC-1 bases when an automatic scram signal is received or a manual scram inserted, operators perform a series of immediate scram actions in accordance with the scram procedure (AOP-0001) that include verification of the scram signal and placement of the reactor mode switch in SHUTDOWN. These immediate actions normally occur before the operator responsible for controlling the plant with the EOP flowcharts enters (or reenters) EOP-1. Once the reactor is successfully shut down (which may be the condition which exists when the RPV Control flowchart is entered),
there are no further reactor power control actions required by the EOPs.
When RPV level cannot be restored and maintained above the top of active fuel, the Level flowpath continues at transition point 2, Alternate Level Control. In this flowpath, direction is given to restore core submergence by more extreme measures that include emergency depressurization of the RPV.
Cueing No rod motion observed. All RPS lights on P680 are still energized.
Reactor Water Level lowering on wide range level indication.
- 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

Heater drain pump A trips per H13-P680 / 02A / A08, HTR DR PUMP BREAKERS AUTO TRIP. ATC lowers power to 93%, per OSP-53, EMERGENCY AND TRANSIENT RESPONSE SUPPORT PROCEDURE. AOP-7, Loss of Feedwater Heating, and AOP-24, Thermal Hydraulics Stability Controls, entered.
Event 2 - (Triggered by Lead Examiner)
Failure of PVLC Compressor A to auto start per H13-P808/81A/E04, DIV I PVLCS ISOL ACCUMULATOR 6A LOW PRESSURE. The CRS recognizes and enters LCO 3.6.1.9 Condition A.
Event 3 - (Triggered by Lead Examiner)
The BOP recognizes and reports H13-P863/71A/E05, AUX BLDG/CTMT AL INBOARD DOOR SEAL FAILURE and H13-P863/71A/H05, AUX BLDG/CTMT AL INBD DR AIR SPLY PRESSURE LOW, 171 airlock inner door seal failure. The CRS recognizes and enters LCO 3.6.1.2 Condition A.
Event 4 - (Triggered by Lead Examiner)
The B stator cooling water pump trips next with failure of the A standby pump to auto start. The resulting turbine-generator run back is stopped when the operators manually start the A pump.
Event 5 - (Triggered by Lead Examiner)
Steam Flow Transmitter, C33-N003A, fails downscale causing reactor water to slowly lower. Per AOP-6, CONDENSATE/FEEDWATER FAILURES, ATC takes manual control of the master level controller and restores reactor water level to approximately 36 inches narrow range.
NOTE: If no action is taken by the operators, reactor water level stabilizes at approximately 18 inches Narrow Range and 1.5 inches Wide Range.
Event 6 - (Initial Setup - Automatic)
The B feedwater line breaks in the Drywell. The crew SCRAMs and isolates Feedwater line B. The CRS enters AOP-1, REACTOR SCRAM; AOP-6, CONDENSATE /
FEEDWATER FAILURES; and EOP-1, RPV CONTROL.
2019 NRC Scenario 3 Rev 3 Event 7 - (Initial Setup - Automatic)
LPCS and RHR A Pumps fail to auto start on high drywell pressure signal due to feedwater leak. The pumps must be manually started per OSP-53, EMERGENCY AND TRANSIENT RESPONSE SUPPORT PROCEDURE.
Event 8 - (Initial Setup - Automatic)
The crew recognizes and reports complete loss of vacuum. MSIVs close resulting in manual SRV operation to maintain pressure control. This causes a loss of inventory to assist diagnosing the feedwater rupture.
Event 9 - (Initial Setup - Automatic)
The crew recognizes and reports HPCS pump trip immediately upon manual start. This causes a loss of all high pressure injection sources and forces the crew to isolate and restore reactor water level using feedwater system.
2019 NRC Scenario 3 Rev 3 CT-1 CT-2 Critical Task Close FWS-MOV7B, REACTOR FEEDWATER INLET, and/or B21-MOV-F065B, FDW TO REAC OUTBD ISOL VALVE, within 15 minutes of alarm REACTOR COOLANT SYS HIGH LEAKAGE RATE, H13-P601/19A/A05.
Restore reactor water level via the A feedwater line prior to reaching -160 inches wide range.
EVENT 6
6/7 Safety Significance Per ARP REACTOR COOLANT SYS HIGH LEAKAGE RATE, H13-P601/19A/A05 the possible cause is excessive inleakage to the Drywell Floor or Pedestal Drain Sump due to steam or coolant leak in the Drywell.
The high leakage contributes to rising drywell pressure. The high drywell pressure condition is indicative of a line break occurring in the drywell and thus relates to RPV water level control. The feedwater line break directly affects reactor water level.
The ruptured feedwater line must be isolated to minimize the energy put in the drywell as well as allowing reactor water level to be restored using feedwater.
Per EPSTG*002, EOP-1 Transition Point 2 for alternatel level control states, the Alternate Level Control flowpath begins at transition point 2 and provides instructions for controlling RPV level that are more detailed and explicit than those in Step RL-3.
Its primary objective is to restore and maintain RPV level above the top of the active fuel. This goal is achieved through use of available injection sources and, if necessary, emergency depressurization of the RPV. If core cooling by submergence cannot be reestablished, spray cooling or steam cooling is employed.
The limit of -160 inches reactor water level is to prevent reaching the top of active fuel at
-162 inches. Also, wide range indication stops at -160 inches.
Cueing A feed flow mismatch will cue the applicant of B feed line rupture.
Drywell pressure rise will correspond to feed flow.
Reactor water level will slowly lower until feed flow is restored or HPCS is manually started.
- 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

2019 NRC Scenario 4 Revision 2 SCENARIO ACTIVITIES:
Initial Conditions 4% Power. Mode 2. Startup in progress.
Inoperable Equipment: None Turnover:
Continue startup. Continue rod withdrawal to enter Mode 1.
AOP-29, Severe Weather entered for Severe Thunderstorm Warning.
Event 1 - (Reactivity Manipulation)
The ATC raises power with rods per the reactivity maneuvering plan to continue startup per GOP-1, Plant Startup. The ATC withdraws rod 16-37 from position 12 to 48.
Event 2 - (Initial Setup - Automatic)
On the second rod manipulation, the ATC discovers and reports control rod 16-21 not coupled, H13-P680/07A/C02, CONTROL ROD OVERTRAVEL. ATC recouples the control rod per ARP Operator Actions. CRS enters LCO 3.1.3 Control Rod OPERABILITY Condition C One or more control rods inoperable for reasons other than Condition A or B.
Event 3 - (Triggered by Lead Examiner)
The CRD Pump A will develop a seal leak per H13-P601/22A/C01, CRD PMP A HIGH SEAL LEAKAGE. The BOP will swap CRD pumps.
Event 4 - (Triggered by Lead Examiner)
After CRD pump swap, ENS-A feeder breaker trips. The Division 1 Diesel Generator fails to auto start and the BOP manually starts the diesel generator per H13-P877/32A/H03, ENS-SWG1B SUSTAINED OR DEGRADED UV. The CRS will recognize and enter LCO 3.3.8.1 Condition A; LCO 3.5.1 Condition C; LCO 3.6.2.3 Condition A; LCO 3.8.1 Condition A, C, & E; and LCO 3.8.9 Condition A.
Event 5 - (Triggered by Lead Examiner)
The ATC will recognize the Condensate Pump C trip per AOP 6 (Condensate /
Feedwater Failures), ARP H13-P680 / 02A / D03, CONDENSATE PUMP P1C OVERLOAD and H13-P680 / 02A / A03, CONDENSATE PUMP AUTO TRIP.
The ATC and BOP will start A Condensate pump per SOP-7 Condensate System, Section 5.1.
2019 NRC Scenario 4 Revision 2 Event 6 - (Triggered by Lead Examiner)
The crew will recognize and report a Suppression pool leak into crescent area through RHR A. Per EOP-2, the crew will manually scram prior to 15 feet 5 inches and emergency depressurize prior to 13 feet 5 inches. EOP-1, RPV Control EOP-2, Primary Containment Control. EOP-3, Secondary Containment and Radioactivity Release Control. If the crew attempts to start HPCS to makeup to the suppression pool from the CST, the test return valve is stuck closed.
Event 7 - (Initial Setup - Automatic)
The crew will recognize and report the failure of suppression pool makeup (HPCS test return fails to open & RCIC E51-F045 valve fails to open). The crew will not be able to isolate the leak or provide makeup water to the suppression pool. As a result of the lowering suppression pool water level, the crew will be required to emergency depressurize.
Event 8 - (Initial Setup - Automatic)
During Emergency Depressurization (RPV pressure <100 psig or at the direction of the lead evaluator), Division 2 RHR Initiation will start and inject RHR B and C. Both will not be needed for adequate core cooling, so the BOP will be required to terminate and prevent injection from RHR B and C as needed to prevent a high reactor water level trip of the feed pumps.
NOTE: Scenario 3 has division 1 ECCS initiation before the major. At rated power the low pressure systems never inject. BOP is required to override LPCS and RHR A pumps off. The CRS is required to enter Tech Spec for inoperable systems.
2019 NRC Scenario 4 Revision 2 CT-1 CT-2 Critical Task Manually scram prior to suppression pool level reaching 15 feet 5 inches.
Anticipate emergency depressurization per RP-1 or open at least 5 SRVs prior to suppression pool level reaching 13 feet 5 inches (top of the first row of horizontal vents).
EVENT 6
6 Safety Significance When suppression pool level decreases to two feet above the top of the Mark III horizontal vents, any further drop in water level could result in direct exposure of the drywell atmosphere to the containment airspace thus compromising the pressure suppression function of the containment. Suppression pool level must therefore be maintained above this elevation.
The systems listed in Step SPL-10 are those that can be used to add water to the suppression pool.
Entering EOP-1 at Step RC-1 before suppression pool water level drops to the limiting elevation ensures that, if possible, the reactor is scrammed before RPV depressurization is initiated.
The RPV is not permitted to remain at pressure if suppression of steam discharged from the RPV into the drywell cannot be assured. When the horizontal vents are not adequately submerged, any steam discharged from the RPV into the drywell may not condense in the suppression pool before containment pressure reaches unacceptable levels. Emergency depressurization of the RPV is required if this low water level condition cannot be avoided.
Cueing Suppression pool lowering.
