SCENARIO TIMELINE

SUMMARY

0705 All 3 Palo Verde Units are operating at 100% full power. This unit has been at 100% power for the east 116 days. Core age is 200 Effective Full Power Days (reference Unit S Cycle 7 Core Data Book). The Unit is operating with the reduced Tn program. RCS Boron concentration is 546 ppm per Chemistry sample. Approximately 10 days ago, RCS activity began to slowly increase. Since that time, Chemistry has increased RCS sampling frequencies to accommodate the change in specific activity. At 0800 this morning, RCS activity will have had been stabilized at 1.08 pCi/gm Dose Equivalent l* for 47 hours5.439815e-4 days <br />0.0131 hours <br />7.771164e-5 weeks <br />1.78835e-5 months <br /> and 45 minutes. Chemistry has recently sampled the RCS and will relay the isotopic results to the Control Room in a few hours after the analyses have been completed. A Reactor Engineering Memo has been issued for this condition and contains information restricting any plant power changes to 20% per hour or less to limit core perturbations, which could increase the risk of escalating current RCS activity !evels. The normal, shiftly surveillance tests have been completed. Operations Managemeat has requested that 100% power operation be maintained as long as is practicable.

0800 Facility time synchronization / begin event timeline.

0815 Technical Specification LCO 3.4.7 Action Statement "a" is entered as RCS specific activity exceeding 1.0 pCi/gm Dose Equivalent l* for greater than 48 continuous hours has occurred. The crew must place the plant in Mode 3 and reduce Tcoto to less than 500 F within 6 1

hours.

0820 The SS enters the Emergency Plan by classifying the event as an NUE based on RCS specific activity exceeding Technical Specification allowable limits (EAL V-52). Offsite agencies are notified of the event within 15 minutes of emergency classification. Operators will calculate RCS Boron addition requirements and commence a plant shutdown.

0845 Emergency Diesel Generator "B" annunciation and Fire Computer alarms are received for Emergency Diesel Generator "B" Control Room and subsequently for Emergency Diesel Generator "B" Room. Operators dispatch an Auxiliary Operator and/or Fire Team Advisor to the area for assessment and proceed to notify Fire Protection personnel of the event. The Diesel Generator "B" Control Room fire causes a DG "B" differential relay trip due to spurious electrical faults which propagate through the DG control panel circuitry. Subsequent on-scene evaluation determines that the fire is out upon arrival, but physical damage exists to the Emergency Diesel Generator "B" control panel as a result of the fire.

0900 The SS determines that Emergency Diesel Generator "B" is inoperable. The EC upgrades the current emergency classification to an ALERT based on fire affecting a safety system required for the current operating mode (EAL V-114). Offsite agencies are notified of the event within 15 minutes of emergency classification upgrade. Onsite and offsite emergency response organizations will be activated.

Emergency response facilities will be staffed and activated within the time frames specified in the PVNGS Emergency Plan.

CONriXNTIAL 1997 EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS EXERCISE SCENARIO GUIDE E-AEV-05003 PAGE 3 0950 The operators notice that RWT Level Transmitter CHB-LT-201 has failed low via control board annunciation as a result of a vehicle accident in the vicinity of the tank. A sensing line has been severed from the tank and an RWT leak begins at - 40 gpm.

1015 S/G tube leakage begins in S/G 1 and slowly escalates to 30 gpm. RMS willindicate rising readings over the subsequent 20 minutes on RU-142, -141, -139 -143, and -4. The crew will evaluate S/G integrity per 40AO-9ZZO2, Excessive RCS Leakrate, and commence an RCS leak rate calculation. Radiation Protection personnel will be notified and potential releases to the environment will be minimized per the procedure. In addition, the SS will enter the appropriate Technical Specification LCO Action Statements.

1035 Operators notice that the main feedwater economizer control valve for S/G 1 has cycled open and that excess feedwater addition to the S/G is occurring. An MSIS and reactor trip follows due to HI-HI S/G 1 level. Additionally, the transient causes steam generator tube leakage to increase from 30 gpm to - 700 gpm. The crew enters the Emergency Operations Procedure. Due to overfilling of the S/G, one of the affected S/G main steam lines break outside CTMT in the MSSS, causing slow depressurization of S/G 1. A radioactive release to the environment begins. The operators should diagnose multiple events in progress and proceed to the Functional Recovery Procedure.

Meanwhile, ESFAS functions have initiated. Current meteorological conditions will transport the radioactive piume over the Site Administration Complex to the Southeast. In addition, RU-139a and -139b were destroyed due to their close proximity (within 3 feet) to the main steam line break, resulting in the inability to monitor the radioactive release.

1048 The EC upgrades the current emergency classification to an SAE based on loss of the RCS and Containment fission product barriers (EALs V-12 and V-19). Offsite agencies are notified of the event within 15 minutes of emergency classification upgrade. The EC will request Assembly / Accountability for site personnel, but the evolution will be simulated. Meanwhile, HPSI Pump "A" loses performance characteristics and eventually fails over the next 10 minutes of operation. This failure will task Engineering with determining probabilities and contingencies for safety injection, should the remaining "B" Train pump fail, as it no longer has an available redundant power source.

1130 The offsite radioactive release to the environment will continue until the plant can be placed into Mode 5 with RCS temperature below 210 F. Field team monitoring of the radioactive plume continues to provide data for both onsite and offsite dose assessment activities.

Meanwhile, Engineering staff will continue to calculate remaining RWT inventory as time proceeds in an effort to determine if sufficient RCS makeup capabilities exist for Mode 5 entry.

1330 Conclude event timeline.

05NTIDr.NTIAL 1997 EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS EXERCISE SCENARIO GUIDE E-AEV-05003 PAGE 7 IV. BRIEFING A. Review Simulator Rules with Participants

1. The USNRC plans on having an examiner on the Simulator fioor during the Emergency Preparedness DrilVExercise whenever possible (based on available manpower). Their main function du'ing the DrilVExercise is to ensure the operating crew can implement the Emergency Plan satisfactorily. However, they carine: ignore any problems they observe during the DrilVExercise. In the event that they should observe a performance problem, their expected action is to determine if this problem was uncovered by the evaluation team and, if so, what remedial action will be taken to correct the problem. If the NRC had discovered a performance problem and no subsequent training action had been taken, then they would have an issue with the training group and not with the operator. If an identified performance problem relates to a history of poor performance on an individual's or team's NRC Requalification Examination in regards to the same problem, then the NRC may take issue with the operator (s) and the training group. If performance problems do occur, the NRC will expect to see the utility take remedial actions to correct the problems.
2. The primary responsibility is to operate the Simulation Facility as if it were the plant.
3. In addition to exercising the PVNGS Emergency Plan, the following activities will be observed during the DrilUExercise:
a. Teamwork / communications
b. Command and control
c. Diagnostic skills
d. Procedure usage
e. Systems knowledge f.

Log-keeping

4. A rough log may be kept during the DrilVExercise suitable to complete necessary formal!og entries.
5. Designated support personnel will act as Auxiliary Operators, Radiation Protection and Chemistry Technicians, Maintenance Supervisors, P! ant Management, etc.
6. A(n) DrilVExercise Controller will provide a shift turnover before the DrilVExercise begins. The shift turnover will include present plant conditions, power history, equipment out of service, abnormal conditions, surveillance (s) due, and instructions for the shift.
7. No control W.o switches will be purposely misaligned. Out-of-service equipment will be tagged or otherwise identified.

8. Restroom leaves are permitted provided they are performed in compliance with normal Control Room staffing requirements.
9. The following items pertain to Drill / Exercise logistics:

a) This Drill / Exercise comprises full activation of all onsite and offsite Emergency Response Facilities. All procedural actions should take place unless otherwise directed within this briefing.

b) The telephone system has been switched over such that all outgoing calls placed from the floor area will reach the prescribed areas as indicated on the Simulator telephone listing for Unit 2. When answering incoming calls, disregard the red LED display on the phones so equipped to display incoming numbers, they may not display the correct incoming number in all cases. In addition, the green dedicated telephone system is live.

c) If Assembly / Accountability is directed, it will be simulated (i.e., no site-wide page will take place, as this causes confusion). Do not make any announcements or sound any signals regarding Assembly / Accountability.

d) If and when a site-wide page must be made regarding event classifications, be aware that a slight delay exists for the system to activate. In addition, please speak slowly and clearly to limit echo in outside areas.

e) The site-wide Drill / Exercise termination announcement should be made from the Simulator before the system is reconfigured to its prior status.

f) If ERDS must be activated, be aware that the normal password is accepted by the system in the Simulator. However, since the Simulator ERDS does not transmit to USNRC Headquarters, an established link cannot occur. Thus, activation of ERDS from the Simulator can take place only up to the point where MODEM dialing would occur. If and when this point is reached, a facility Controller should be informed that a simulated activation has taken place, g) Upon conclusion of shift tumover, the crew's Auxiliary Operators will be given time to proceed to their normal watch stations in Unit 2.

The OSC Controllers will accompany them. Once there, they will each receive a radio to allow them normal communications means with the Simulator Control Room staff. The AOs' and the Simulator radio will both transmit and receive on EPLAN TalkGroup 15.

NOTE:

Ensure copies of Step 9 Bdefing items are distnbuted within the Simulator for reference.

10. If any questions concerning the administration of the Drill / Exercise exist, please ask them prior to starting.

i

1. The progress of the scenario depends primarily on the competence and capabilities of the personnelinvolved and on the dependability of the software / hardware associated with the Simulation Facility. If, through unforeseen circumstances, the Simulator should fait during the course of Drill / Exercise operations, execution of the scenario may become hampered. In this case, the scenario timeline may have to be suspended until such time that it may again proceed. Accordingly, a timeline adjustment will then be incorporated onto the time-dependent events remaining in the Drill / Exercise. If the Simulator fails such that immediate repair or scenario recall is not feasible, a decision will be made at that time regarding future progression of the remaining portions of the Drill / Exercise. All Controllers will be informed in either case.

B. Scenario Guide Layout:

2. Message identifiers used throughout this Scenario Guide (Section 03) are organized by type. Numeric-identified messages are employed for normal occurrences within the Drill / Exercise and should be used to achieve desired results based on predictable scenario events. Note that these messages may not always be directed on the designated scenario timeline, but may depend solely on events. Alpha-identified l

messages are employed as contingencies such that the messages are delivered only when or if predictable events or results do not take place. Contingency messages are keyed to specific actions, not time frames. Thus, when specific actions for which a particular contingency message is based do not occur on the timeline, the message should be saved and used when and if it is required. This type of message is utilized to maintain the Drill / Exercise on its predetermined course and not on its predetermined timeline.

The main steam line break causes a radioactive release to the environment to begin. Current meteceological conditions will transport the radioactive plume over the Site Administration Complex to the Southeast.

Fire alarms are received in the MSSS due to main steam saturation of the fire detection sensors.

~ Operators may notify Fire Protection personnel of the fire alarms. In addition, RU-139a and -139b are destroyed due to their close proximity (within 3 feet) to the main steam line break, resulting in the inability to monitor the radioactive release.
