Description:
S1 - Transfer Recirculation Pumps to Slow Speed (GJPM-OPS-2-2020S1) 202001 A2.04 & A4.01 (3.7)
This task is to transfer Reactor Recirculation Pumps to slow speed per IOI - 2, 03-1 2, Power Operations Attachment IV section 8.8.6 and 8.8.7. Upon transfer to slow speed and reopening of both Recirculation Flow Control Valves to 50%, both Reactor Recirculation Pumps will trip to OFF. With the Reactor Mode Switch in RUN at power and no Reactor Recirculation Pumps operating, entry into the Reduction in Recirculation Flow ONEP 05-1-02-III-3, Immediate Operator Actions step 2.1.2 will be required to insert a Manual Reactor Scram.
Placing the Reactor Mode Switch to Shutdown will NOT insert Control Rods requiring alternate actions to insert the Control Rods by either arming and depressing the Manual Scram pushbuttons OR Initiating ATWS ARI/RPT which will depressurize the Scram Air Header.
S2 - Retest MSIV Slow Closure (GJPM-OPS-2-2020S2) 239001 A2.11 (4.1)
This task is to perform a slow closure on MSIV B21-F028A.
Following the closure of the MSIV, recognize High - High temperature in Main Steam Tunnel without Group 1 MSIV isolation. Applicant should manually close all remaining MSIVs (7) using handswitches on P601 panel to isolate the steam leak.
At initial power level Main Steam Line Drains should be closed with the exception of B21-F019, INBD MSL DR OTBD DR VLV which has another valve in the line already closed B21-F016, INBD MSL DR INBD DR VLV.
S3 - Performing HPCS Quarterly Functional Test (GJPM-OPS-2-2020S3) 209002: A1.01 (3.6); A4.01 (3.7)
This task requires the ability to manually start the only ECCS-qualified high pressure injection system.
This task demonstrates the ability to operate HPCS in the "test return" mode, which puts HPCS flow in a loop from and to the Suppression Pool, one of its two suction sources.
HPCS is operated in this mode for surveillance and post-maintenance testing.
As HPCS is placed in the test return mode the system will experience a failure to initiate and a failure to inject once manually initiated. This will require to arm and depress the initiation pushbutton and then manually open the E22-F004.
Rev 0 08/30/2019 S4 - Secure Containment Spray and Align for RPV Injection (GJPM-OPS-2-2020S4) 226001 A2.20 (3.7) & A4.07 (3.5)
This task is to secure RHR systems from Containment Spray and align them for injection into the RPV during a LOCA. During the performance one RHR system will not provide sufficient flow to raise RPV water level and the second RHR system will have a failure of E12-F042 LPCI injection valve to open requiring the use of an alternate injection path through E12-F053. Realignment of RHR from Containment Spray to LPCI mode is directed from the Emergency Procedures when there is not Adequate Core Cooling.
Use of Shutdown Cooling lines for injection to the RPV from RHR is allowed per the Emergency Procedures and attachments are provided to facilitate this evolution.
S5 - Rotate CCW Pumps (GJPM-OPS-2-2020S5) 400000 A2.01 (3.3) & A4.01 (3.1)
This task is to rotate CCW Pumps per SOI. During the evolution, a trip will occur on one of the operating CCW pumps requiring the restart of the non-operating CCW pump per the Loss of CCW ONEP.
S6 - Place Standby Gas Treatment System in STANDBY Mode (GJPM-OPS-2-2020S6) 261000 A2.13 (3.4) & A4.03 (3.0)
This task is to place one Standby Gas Treatment System in STANDBY Mode after an automatic initiation signal on Radiation that is still present.
C1 - Defeat Feed Pump Level 9 Trips (GJPM-OPS-2-2020CR1) 259001 A3.10 3.4/3.4 This task defeats the High Reactor Water Level trip of the Reactor Feed Pumps, which under certain conditions is directed by the EOPs to maintain adequate core cooling.
S7 - Transfer RPS B to Normal Power Source and RPS A to Alternate Power Source (RO ONLY)

Description:
S1 - Transfer Recirculation Pumps to Slow Speed (GJPM-OPS-2-2020S1) 202001 A2.04 & A4.01 (3.7)
This task is to transfer Reactor Recirculation Pumps to slow speed per IOI - 2, 03-1 2, Power Operations Attachment IV section 8.8.6 and 8.8.7. Upon transfer to slow speed and reopening of both Recirculation Flow Control Valves to 50%, both Reactor Recirculation Pumps will trip to OFF. With the Reactor Mode Switch in RUN at power and no Reactor Recirculation Pumps operating, entry into the Reduction in Recirculation Flow ONEP 05-1-02-III-3, Immediate Operator Actions step 2.1.2 will be required to insert a Manual Reactor Scram.
Placing the Reactor Mode Switch to Shutdown will NOT insert Control Rods requiring alternate actions to insert the Control Rods by either arming and depressing the Manual Scram pushbuttons OR Initiating ATWS ARI/RPT which will depressurize the Scram Air Header.
S2 - Retest MSIV Slow Closure (GJPM-OPS-2-2020S2) 239001 A2.11 (4.1)
This task is to perform a slow closure on MSIV B21-F028A.
Following the closure of the MSIV, recognize High - High temperature in Main Steam Tunnel without Group 1 MSIV isolation. Applicant should manually close all remaining MSIVs (7) using handswitches on P601 panel to isolate the steam leak.
At initial power level Main Steam Line Drains should be closed with the exception of B21-F019, INBD MSL DR OTBD DR VLV which has another valve in the line already closed B21-F016, INBD MSL DR INBD DR VLV.
S3 - Performing HPCS Quarterly Functional Test (GJPM-OPS-2-2020S3) 209002: A1.01 (3.6); A4.01 (3.7)
This task requires the ability to manually start the only ECCS-qualified high pressure injection system.
This task demonstrates the ability to operate HPCS in the "test return" mode, which puts HPCS flow in a loop from and to the Suppression Pool, one of its two suction sources.
HPCS is operated in this mode for surveillance and post-maintenance testing.
As HPCS is placed in the test return mode the system will experience a failure to initiate and a failure to inject once manually initiated. This will require to arm and depress the initiation pushbutton and then manually open the E22-F004.
Rev 0 08/30/2019 S4 - Secure Containment Spray and Align for RPV Injection (GJPM-OPS-2-2020S4) 226001 A2.20 (3.7) & A4.07 (3.5)
This task is to secure RHR systems from Containment Spray and align them for injection into the RPV during a LOCA. During the performance one RHR system will not provide sufficient flow to raise RPV water level and the second RHR system will have a failure of E12-F042 LPCI injection valve to open requiring the use of an alternate injection path through E12-F053. Realignment of RHR from Containment Spray to LPCI mode is directed from the Emergency Procedures when there is not Adequate Core Cooling.
Use of Shutdown Cooling lines for injection to the RPV from RHR is allowed per the Emergency Procedures and attachments are provided to facilitate this evolution.
S5 - Rotate CCW Pumps (GJPM-OPS-2-2020S5) 400000 A2.01 (3.3) & A4.01 (3.1)
This task is to rotate CCW Pumps per SOI. During the evolution, a trip will occur on one of the operating CCW pumps requiring the restart of the non-operating CCW pump per the Loss of CCW ONEP.
S6 - Place Standby Gas Treatment System in STANDBY Mode (GJPM-OPS-2-2020S6) 261000 A2.13 (3.4) & A4.03 (3.0)
This task is to place one Standby Gas Treatment System in STANDBY Mode after an automatic initiation signal on Radiation that is still present.
C1 - Defeat Feed Pump Level 9 Trips (GJPM-OPS-2-2020CR1) 259001 A3.10 3.4/3.4 This task defeats the High Reactor Water Level trip of the Reactor Feed Pumps, which under certain conditions is directed by the EOPs to maintain adequate core cooling.
P1 - RPS Motor Generator Startup (GJPM-OPS-2-2020P1) 212000 A2.01 (3.7) & A1.01 (2.8)
This task is to perform a startup of the RPS Motor Generator and align the RPS Bus to the Normal Supply per the SOI.
Rev 0 08/30/2019 P2 - Align Fire Water to RHR C per EP Attachment 26 (GJPM-OPS-2-2020P2) 286000 A1.05 (3.2)
This task simulates routing and connecting fire hoses from hose stations to test connections on ECCS injection piping in the Auxiliary Building.
P3 - HPCS Diesel Generator Emergency Shutdown (GJPM-OPS-2-2020P3) 264000 A4.04 (3.7)
This task simulates an auto start of HPCS Diesel Generator with a subsequent oil system failure requiring the operator to EMERGENCY STOP (trip) the HPCS D/G. The Control Room switch and local Emergency Stop switch will not work, the operator must use other means to stop the EDG. Per P81 SOI the lay shaft handle on each diesel engine must be manipulated to stop the EDG.

Appendix D Simulator Outline Form ES-D-1 GGNS 2-2020 NRC Scenario 2 Revision 0 8/30/2019 4
SCENARIO ACTIVITIES:
Initial Conditions Initial Conditions: 100% Power.
Inoperable Equipment: None Event 1 - P41-F005A trip on stroke (Initial Setup - Automatic)
The BOP operator will place SSW A in recirculation mode for a chemistry sample per SOI 04-1-01-P41-1, section 5.10. The pump discharge relief valve will be open requiring the operator to place flow through the RHR A heat exchanger. When the F005A handswitch is taken to open, its breaker will trip. This will require placing the Div 1 DG in maintenance and racking out the Div 1 DW purge compressor breaker. LCO 3.7.1, Cond D.
Event 2 - Recirc flow transmitter failure (Triggered by Lead Examiner)
A B Rx recirculation loop suction transmitter will lose power and input 0 flow into B APRM/OPRM trip logic. When investigated, flow input will be half of the other APRM/OPRMs since a similar suction flow transmitter on the A Recirc loop continues to provide input. Per ARI instruction, the APRM should be declared inop, bypassed, and potential LCO 3.3.1.1 identified.
Event 3 - TBCW pump trip with standby pump auto start failure (Triggered by Lead Examiner)
A TBCW pump trip will occur and the standby pump will fail to auto start. The BOP operator should recognize the failure of the standby pump to start and start the standby pump. The CRS should enter 05-1-02-V-2, Loss of Turbine Building Cooling Water ONEP and ensure parameters have stabilized.
Event 4 - Three control rods scram in (Triggered by Lead Examiner) 3 control rods will scram in due to an air leak. This will require entry into 05-1-02-IV-1, Control Rod/Drive Malfunctions ONEP and require reducing Recirc flow to 70 mlbm/hr.
Lowering Recirc flow will require entry into 05-1-02-III-3, Reduction in Recirculation System Flow Rate ONEP to ensure Rx and Recirc system parameters are as expected.
If an operator is dispatched to investigate, he will simulate isolating the air leak which will allow 2 of the 3 control rods to settle. LCO 3.1.3, Cond C should be identified for the inop control rod(s).
There is a potential this will be misdiagnosed as 3 control rods drifting in, which requires a manual scram.
Appendix D Simulator Outline Form ES-D-1 GGNS 2-2020 NRC Scenario 2 Revision 0 8/30/2019 5
Event 5 - Spurious Main Turbine Trip (Triggered by Lead Examiner)
A spurious main turbine trip will occur. The automatic actions of the turbine trip ONEP should be verified.
Event 6 - Hydraulic Block ATWS > 5% RTP (Initial Setup - Automatic)
When the reactor scrams due to the turbine trip, an ATWS occurs due to a hydraulic block of both scram discharge volumes. EP-2A is entered via EP-2. Reactor power will be above 5% RTP. Crew will install the necessary attachments to bypass RPS and RC&IS interlocks and insert controls rods via manual scrams and RC&IS (CT-3).
Terminate and Prevent is required because reactor power is above 5% RTP. RPV level is intentionally lowered below -70 inches wide range in order to lower core inlet subcooling which prevents/suppresses instabilities and lowers reactor power (CT-1).
Bypass valves will control reactor pressure. Turbine pressure setpoint should be lowered to 900 psig to lower RPV pressure below the reset value for low-low set valves.
Event 7 - RWCU fails to auto isolate on SLC injection (Initial Setup - Automatic)
RWCU fails to auto isolate on level 2 (-41.6) or SLC initiation. When the immediate action to inject SLC is performed (CT-2), (a minimum) 1 RWCU MOV will be required to be closed to prevent RWCU from removing SLC from the RPV. With SLC injection, Rx power will lower. Based in the ATWS power level, sufficient SLC content is being injected and combined with rod insertion, the Rx will be shutdown.
Event 8 - ESF 21 lockout (Initial Setup - Automatic)
ESF 21 will lockout. The Div 2 DG will automatically tie to 16AB and Div 3 DG will automatically tie to 17AC. This will require a re-terminate/prevent of Div 2 ECCS and restoration of CRD pump B.
Termination:
A. Once control rods are being inserted and as directed by Lead Evaluator:
- 1. Take the simulator to Freeze and turn horns off.
- 2. Stop and save the SBT report and any other recording devices.
- 3. Instruct the crew to not erase any markings or talk about the scenario until after follow-up questions are asked.
Appendix D Simulator Outline Form ES-D-1 GGNS 2-2020 NRC Scenario 2 Revision 0 8/30/2019 6
Critical Task (CT-1) During failure to scram conditions with power > 5%,
- terminate feedwater injection to lower RPV level to below -70 wide range within 90 seconds following ATWS ARI/RPT initiation. This is a time critical action.
- terminate and prevent all other injection sources (except boron, CRD, and RCIC) as necessary to lower RPV level to below -70 wide range prior to exiting EP-2A.
Event 6
Safety Significance Regarding lowering level below -70 wide range, to prevent or mitigate the consequences of any large irregular neutron flux oscillations induced by neutronic/thermal-hydraulic instabilities. RPV water level is lowered sufficiently below the elevation of the feedwater sparger nozzles. This places the feedwater spargers in the steam space providing effective heating of the relatively cold feedwater and eliminating the potential for high core inlet subcooling. For conditions that are susceptible to oscillations, the initiation and growth of 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.
24 below the lowest nozzle in 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 65% to 75% effective (i.e., the temperature of the injected water will be increased to 65% to 75% of its equilibrium value in the steam environment). This water level is sufficiently high that most plants without the capability to readily defeat the low RPV water level MSIV isolation should be able to control RPV water level with feedwater pumps to preclude the isolation.
Cueing A scram is initiated (either automatically or manually) and numerous control rods indicate beyond position 02 and reactor power is > 5% on panel P680 indications and SPDS and RPV level is > -70 wide range on SPDS and PDS.
Critical Task (CT-2) With Reactor Power above 5% inject Standby Liquid Control system within 5 minutes OR prior to suppression pool temperature reaching 110°F.
Event 6
Safety Significance GGNS-NE-16-00004, Time Critical Operator Actions for Grand Gulf, Attachment 1 02-S-01-40, EP Technical Bases, Attachment IX Steps Q2 - Q4 If reactor power remains above the APRM downscale setpoint (5%) following multiple attempts to scram the reactor (EP-2 Step 1, EP-2A Step 1), boron injection is initiated immediately to preclude power oscillations, avoid challenges to primary containment temperature and pressure limits, and ensure that the plant remains in a controlled state.
SLC is the normal method of injecting boron into the RPV. Both pumps are started to increase the injection rate and shorten the time required to complete boron injection.
Cueing Operator verifies SLC is injecting IAW 04-1-01-C41-1, Attachment VI, Verification of Standby Liquid Control Injection.
Appendix D Simulator Outline Form ES-D-1 GGNS 2-2020 NRC Scenario 2 Revision 0 8/30/2019 7
Critical Task (CT-3) When control rods fail to scram, crew inserts all control rods to position 02 or beyond before exiting EP-2A EVENT 6
Safety Significance Failure to effect shutdown of the reactor when a RPS setpoint has been exceeded would unnecessarily extend the level of degradation of the safety of the plant. This could further degrade into damage to the principle fission product barriers if left unmitigated. The crew is authorized by Conduct of Operations to take mitigating actions when automatic safety systems fail to perform their intended function. Action to shut down the reactor is required when RPS and control rod drive systems fail IAW EP-2A.
Cueing
- A scram is initiated (either automatically or manually) and numerous control rods indicate beyond position 02.
- 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

The controller should be placed in manual IAW ARI P680-10A-D3 and restore lube oil temperature to 113°F.
Event 3 - Spurious RCIC initiation (Triggered by Lead Examiner)
RCIC will initiate due to a spurious level 2 initiation signal. The BOP operator will secure RCIC either by tripping RCIC or securing per the hardcard by closing the trip/throttle valve, placing its controller in manual, and reducing its controller output to minimum.
With either case, RCIC should be declared inop since it cannot automatically start /
inject.
Event 4 - 28AG lockout (Triggered by Lead Examiner)
(reference CR GG-2019-3822)
Based on alarms received, the crew should recognize a loss of multiple PSW pumps due to 28AG lockout. The crew should enter 05-1-02-I-4, Loss of AC Power ONEP and 05-1-02-V-11, Loss of Plant Service Water ONEP. The bus is locked out and the crew should identify a computer point from the Loss of AC power ONEP and determine the bus cannot be reenergized. With core flow already at 70Mlbm/hr, control rods should be inserted to achieve < 50% Rx power. The BOP operator should start the (one) available PSW pump and optimize flow from all operating pumps.

Event 5 - Recirc pumps downshift / LFMG failure / THI / auto scram failure (Initial Setup - Automatic)
When the 4th control rod is inserted, both of the recirc pumps will downshift due to faulty feedwater flow input to the cavitation interlock circuitry. The B LFMG will trip 40 seconds later. 60 seconds later, THI will start ramping in and will result in receipt of P680 alarms indicating the Rx should have automatically scrammed (5A-A11, 5A-B11, 7A-A11, 7A-B11). The ATC operator should insert a manual scram (EP-2 entry).
Event 6 - LOCA (Initial Setup - Automatic)
After the reactor is scrammed, a recirc suction leak will occur resulting in high drywell pressure ECCS initiations and isolations.
Event 7 - Feedwater break in drywell (Initial Setup - Automatic)
A feedwater line A break will occur in the drywell. An attempt should be made to isolate the leak by closing FW INL SHUTOFF VLV, B21-F065A, but the breaker will trip on stroke signal. This will leave HPCS as the primary high pressure injection system available to maintain Rx level.
Event 8 - HPCS suppression pool leak (Initial Setup - Automatic)
HPCS suppression pool suction line will develop a leak between the suppression pool and its suction isolation valve E22-F015. Suppression pool level will start lowering. EP-3 should be entered and Suppression Pool Makeup (SPMU) should be initiated (may auto initiate). Both divisions of SPMU will receive an initiation signal. fail. SPMU valves E30-F001A is already inop with its breaker open. E30-F002B will experience a stem/disc separation resulting in no water being added to the suppression pool. HPCS room level will start rising and will lead to a HPCS pump trip as water gets in the motor. After the pump trip, HPCS pump room door will fail resulting in a continual drain of the suppression pool into the auxiliary building. With the HPCS pump trip, RPV level will start lowering and will require entry into the Alternate Level Control Leg of EP-2. RCIC should be aligned for injection, CRD maximized for flow, and SLC injected. Emergency depressurization is required prior to suppression pool level falling below 14.5 feet. After emergency depressurization, low pressure ECCS will restore RPV level. CT-1 and CT-

Termination:
- Once emergency depressurization has been conducted and reactor water level is stabilized above TAF, or as directed by Lead Evaluator:
o Take the simulator to Freeze and turn horns off.
o Stop and save the SBT report and any other recording devices.
o Instruct the crew to not erase any markings or talk about the scenario until after follow-up questions are asked.

Critical Task (CT-1) Emergency Depressurize the RPV prior to Suppression Pool level reaching 14.5 ft.
Event 8
Safety Significance 02-S-01-40 Att. VI, EP Steps SPL-6 through 9.
Suppression pool water must be maintained above 14.5 ft. to ensure that steam discharged through the horizontal vents following a primary system break will be adequately condensed. If a primary system break were to occur with suppression pool water level below this elevation, pressure suppression capability would be unavailable and primary containment pressure could exceed structural limits.
If suppression pool water level cannot be maintained above 14.5 ft., emergency RPV depressurization is required since the RPV is not permitted to remain at pressure if pressure suppression capability is unavailable. Consistent with the definition of cannot be maintained a decision that suppression pool water level cannot be maintained above 14.5 ft can be made before level actually reaches this value.

Critical Task (CT-2)
(CT-2) After Emergency Depressurization, restore and maintain RPV level above -191 using available injection systems prior to exiting EP-2.
Event 8
Safety Significance 02-S-01-40 Att. IV, EP Step L-14 The Minimum Steam Cooling RPV Water Level is the lowest RPV water level at which the covered portion of the reactor core will generate sufficient steam to preclude any clad temperature in the uncovered portion of the core from exceeding 1500°F.
Adequate core cooling is ensured if one of two conditions exists after the RPV is depressurized:
RPV water level can be restored and maintained above the Minimum Steam Cooling RPV Water Level (-191 in.). The core is then cooled by a combination of submergence and steam cooling, even with no core spray flow.
Design core spray flow requirements are satisfied (HPCS or LPCS flow above 7000 gpm and RPV water level above -216 in., the elevation of the top of the jet pumps). The core is then cooled by spray cooling, even if the core remains uncovered.
Cueing Positive injection flow established and reactor level rising
- If an operator or the crew significantly deviates from, or fails to, follow procedures that affect the maintenance of basic safety functions, those actions may form the basis of a CT identified in the post-scenario review (NUREG 1021, Appendix D). An unintentional or unnecessary RPS or ESF actuation may result in the creation of a post-scenario Critical Task, if that actuation results in a significant plant degradation or significantly alters a mitigation strategy
- Per 02-S 01-40, EP-1, Step ED-6: Seven open SRVs is the Minimum Number of SRVs Required for Emergency Depressurization (MNSRED) and is the least number of SRVs which corresponds to a Minimum Steam Cooling Pressure (MSCP) sufficiently low that the ECCS with the lowest head will be capable of making up the SRV steam flow at the corresponding MSCP. The MNSRED is utilized to assure the RPV will depressurize and remain depressurized when emergency depressurization is required. Refer to Appendix A for a detailed discussion of the MNSRED and the MSCP.
