Classroom instruction materials (Lesson Plans, System Training Manuals, PowerPoint presentations, classroom notes, etc.) are not permitted to be used.
If there is a question regarding reference material desired to be used, ask evaluator prior to seeking reference.
INITIAL CONDITIONS:
Today is July 1, 2020 You are reviewing the license status of 3 licensed operators based on watches stood in the previous quarter Operator # 1 received his SRO license on September 10 of 2018 Operator # 2 received her SRO license on September 10 of 2018 Operator # 3 received his SRO license on November 15 of 2019 All operators are current in LOCT INITIATING CUE:
Using the provided list of watches stood by each of the 3 operators in the previous quarter, determine whether or not each of their licenses is active or not active as of July 1 per Palo Verde administrative procedural requirements Document your answers below by circling the status of each operator license as of July 1.
2020 PVNGS NRC Initial Exam JPM A1 INFORMATION FOR EVALUATOR USE:
An asterisk (*) denotes a Critical Step. Failure of a Critical Step will result in an UNSAT evaluation.
At the discretion of the Evaluator, this JPM may be terminated when the Task Standard is met or adequate time has been allowed to complete the JPM.
Any step marked UNSAT requires comments.
If this is the first JPM of the set, then ensure the examinee has been briefed.
Step sequence is not critical unless noted or will prevent the Task Standard from being met.
2020 PVNGS NRC Initial Exam JPM A1 JPM START TIME:
JPM Step: 1
- Determine if Operator # 1 license is active July 1.
Standard: Determined that Operator # 1s license IS NOT active on July 1.
Answer Explanation:
An SRO license is considered active if they stand a minimum of five 12-hour shifts in the previous quarter. Per step 4.8.4.5 of 40DP-9OP02, Conduct of Shift Operations, at least one of those shifts must be in the CRS or SM position, the other shifts can be in a TS required RO position. However, the other shifts will not be counted if stood in the STA position. Therefore the SRO license is inactive.
Comments (required for UNSAT):
- Determine if Operator # 2s license is active on July 1.
Standard: Determined that Operator # 2s license IS NOT active on July 1.
Answer Explanation:
An SRO license is considered active if they stand a minimum of 60 hours6.944444e-4 days <br />0.0167 hours <br />9.920635e-5 weeks <br />2.283e-5 months <br /> in the previous quarter, which Operator # 2 completed, however partial shifts cannot be credited (per step 4.8.4.5 bullet 5), therefore, even though the 60 hours6.944444e-4 days <br />0.0167 hours <br />9.920635e-5 weeks <br />2.283e-5 months <br /> were met, the requirement for five 12-hour shifts was not. Therefore the SRO license is inactive.
Comments (required for UNSAT):
SAT UNSAT
2020 PVNGS NRC Initial Exam JPM A1 JPM Step: 3
- Determine if Operator # 3s license is active on July 1.
Standard: Determined that Operator # 3s license IS active on July 1.
Answer Explanation:
An SRO license is considered active if they stand a minimum of five 12-hour shifts in the previous quarter. Per step 4.8.4.5 of 40DP-9OP02, Conduct of Shift Operations, at least one of those shifts must be in the CRS or SM position, however the other 5 shifts can be in a TS required RO position. Therefore the SRO license remains active.

(S)imulator NRC JPM Examination Summary Description S1 The applicant will be directed to perform a 100MW turbine load reduction per 40AO-9ZZ25, ECC Directed Turbine Unloading, Appendix A, Load Reduction. During the load reduction, the Main Turbine will trip and a RPCB signal will automatically occur. On the RPCB, one Subgroup of CEAs will fail to insert resulting in an automatic Reactor Trip signal. The Reactor will fail to automatically trip, requiring the applicant to recognize the ATWS condition and take action to manually trip the Reactor. This is a time-critical, alternate path, modified JPM covered by Safety Function 1.
S2 The applicant will be directed to perform 40EP-9EO03, LOCA, step 58, verification of RAS actuation. The applicant will determine that not all RAS actuated equipment automatically aligned to their actuated position and will take contingency actions in response to this condition. The applicant will have to identify the Train B ESF pump suction valve from containment, SIB-UV-675, did not open and stop the Train B HPSI and Train B CS Pumps. This is a time critical, alternate path, bank JPM covered by Safety Function 2.
S3 The applicant will be directed to perform 40EP-9EO03, LOCA, step 10, isolation of a High Pressure Seal Cooler (HPSC) Leak. The applicant will stop all four RCPs, close the NC Containment Isolation Valves, isolate Controlled Bleedoff from the RCPs, direct an area operator to energize the HPSC Isolation Valves for the affected HPSC, then close the associated HPSC Isolation Valves from the Control Room. The applicant will determine that one the Controlled Bleedoff isolation valve for the affected RCP failed to close and will isolate bleedoff by closing the upstream isolation valves and the bleedoff relief valve isolation valve. This is an alternate path, bank JPM covered by Safety Function 3.

ES-301 Control Room / In-Plant Systems Outline Form ES-301-2 S4 The applicant will be directed to perform Appendix 33, SG 1 Level Reduction Checklist to control SG 1 level following a SG Tube Rupture. The applicant will take action to place High Rate SG Blowdown in service to the Condenser by operating valves from the Control Room and lower SG #1 level. However one of valves that must be opened must be bypassed in the field prior to operating in the Control Room to prevent severe water hammer and potential pipe damage locally in the field. This is an alternate path, bank JPM covered by Safety Function 4P. This JPM is directly related to PVNGS operating experience related to industrial safety.
S5 The applicant will be directed to perform Appendix 44, Feeding With the Condensate Pumps. The applicant will establish a flow path for feed directly from the Condensate Pumps and perform a controlled depressurization of the SG to re-establish feed flow.
This is a new JPM covering Safety Function 4S.
S6 The applicant will be directed to reduce load on the A EDG and disconnect the A EDG from PBA-S03 following a EDG load run. When the applicant commences the load reduction, PKA-M41, Train A Class DC Control Power Bus, will de-energize due to a fault. This will result in the A EDG tripping however the EDG output breaker will remain closed due to the loss of control power. The applicant will diagnose the failure and direct an area operator to locally open the A EDG output breaker to prevent damage to the A EDG. This is an alternate path, new JPM covered by Safety Function 6.
S7 The applicant will be directed to set INOP flags for CEAC 2 in the Core Protection Calculators following a loss of power to PNC-D27 per 40AO-9ZZ13, Loss of Class Instrument or Control Power. The applicant will locate the correct CPC point ID, set the Function Enable keyswitch to ENABLED, and set a value of 2 in each CPC module.
This is a new JPM covered by Safety Function 7.
P1 The applicant will be directed to take manual control of Train A EDG Jacket Water temperature per 40OP-9DG01, Emergency Diesel Generator A Section 6.11.5. Once taking manual control the applicant will recognize that temperature is lowering and must start the Jacket Water Circ Pump and ensure that Jacket Water Warmup Heater is in auto. This is an alternate path, new JPM covered by Safety Function 6.
P2 The applicant will be directed to perform ADV operations per 40AO-9ZZ18, Shutdown Outside the Control Room, Appendix D, ADV Operation to stabilize temperature after the CR was evacuated due to hot particle contamination. The applicant will take Local control of ADVs at the Remote Shutdown Panel and stabilize RCS temperature. This a bank JPM covered by Safety Function 4S.
P3 The applicant will be directed to swap Spent Fuel Pool heat exchangers due to a leak on the in-service heat exchanger per 40OP-9PC01, Fuel Pool Cooling. The applicant will perform a valve lineup to place the B Fuel Pool heat exchanger in service and remove the A Fuel Pool heat exchanger from service. This a new JPM covered by Safety Function 8.

PVNGS 2020 NRC Scenario # 1 Rev 2
Appendix D Scenario Event Summary Form ES-D-1 NRC Exam Scenario # 1 2020 NRC Exam Scenario # 1 Overview Event 1 Steam Generator #2 Flow transmitter RCD-PDT-125D will fail low. The crew will address the ARP and validate actual Steam Generator flow using alternate indications. The CRS will address Technical Specifications for the failed transmitter and direct the crew to bypass the affected RPS bistables.
Event 2 An inadvertent Train A CSAS will occur. The crew will verify that an actual CSAS is not required and the CRS will enter 40AO-9ZZ17, Inadvertent PPS-ESFAS Actuations. The CRS will direct the crew to stop Train A CS flow by stopping the A CS Pump and closing the CS header isolation valve. The CRS will direct the restoration of NC flow by opening NCA-UV-402, NCW Containment Downstream Return Isolation Valve. The Train A CSAS will also result in a loss of letdown. The CRS will enter 40AO-9ZZ05, Loss of Charging or Letdown, and direct the crew to either restore letdown or establish conditions for extended loss of Letdown.
Event 3 A MFP will trip causing a RPCB. The CRS will enter 40AO-9ZZ09, Reactor Power Cutback (Loss of Feedpump) and the crew will verify that all parameters are restoring.
The CRS will direct the crew to remove RPCB from service.
Event 4 An ESD inside containment will require a manual Reactor trip. The CRS will enter 40EP-9EO01, Standard Post Trip Actions. After the Reactor Trip, a vacuum breaker valve will fail open causing the B MFP to trip.
Event 5 SIAS and CIAS will actuate but MSIS will fail to auto-actuate and will require a manual actuation.
Event 6 B CS Pump will trip and A CS Pump will require a manual start due to being anti-pumped during the inadvertent CSAS. The CS header isolation valve will be manually opened due to being overridden and closed during the inadvertent CSAS PVNGS 2020 NRC Scenario # 1 Rev 2
Appendix D Critical Task Summary Form ES-D-1 NRC Exam Scenario # 1 Critical Task # 1: When the Main Steam Isolation setpoints are exceeded, ensure Main Steam Isolation has actuated within 15 minutes of exceeding the MSIS setpoint (Containment pressure -
3 psig OR SG Pressure Low - 960 psia - whichever is reached first)
Safety Significance: MSIS ensures acceptable consequences during an MSLB or FWLB (between the steam generator and the main feedwater check valve) either inside or outside containment. MSIS isolates both steam generators if either generator indicates a low pressure condition or a high level condition or if a high containment pressure condition exists. This prevents an excessive rate of heat extraction and subsequent cooldown of the RCS during these events. The 15 minute time requirement is based on the time that it takes to complete a round of Safety Function Status Checks since SPTAs is the first check on all safety functions. Normally 30 minutes is the time requirement for ESFAS failures, however since this failure will affect 4 Safety Functions, prompt action is expected from Operations Management.
Cueing: The crew should recognize the failure of MSIS to actuate when containment pressure exceeds 3 psig OR when either SG pressure lowers to less than 960 psia (both are setpoints for MSIS).
Measurable Performance Indicator: The crew will have to manually actuate MSIS by taking the four handswitches for each ESFAS channel actuation (on B05) to the actuate position. This can be confirmed by the red MSIS lights on the vertical section of B05 as well as the actuation logic lights for each actuation extinguishing on the horizontal section of B05.
Performance Feedback: The crew will have indication of successful actuations by observing the red SIAS/CIAS/MSIS lights on the vertical section of B05 as well as the actuation logic lights for each actuation extinguishing on the horizontal section of B05, as well as by observing the actuated equipment for each ESFAS actuation going to its actuated position.
- This Critical Task and the 15 minute time requirement meets Operations Management expectations for an Operating Crew PVNGS 2020 NRC Scenario # 1 Rev 2
Appendix D Critical Task Summary Form ES-D-1 NRC Exam Scenario # 1 Critical Task # 2: When the Containment Spray Actuation setpoint is exceeded, ensure adequate Containment Cooling to meet Safety Function requirements within 30 minutes of exceeding the CSAS setpoint (Containment pressure - 8.06 psig)
Safety Significance: Potential degradation of any barrier to fission product release. Failure to maintain containment temperature and pressure control may challenge containment integrity. The 30 minute time requirement is based on 15 minutes (time requirement to complete Safety Function Status Checks) to diagnose the loss of Containment Spray, and 15 minutes for mitigating actions Cueing: In addition to the procedural cue, the crew may use indications of Containment pressure, Containment temperature, Containment fan coolers, Containment Spray pumps, and Containment Spray flow to provide cue to perform elements of this task.
Measurable Performance Indicator: The task is identified by at least one member of the crew manipulating the controls to establish Containment Spray flow. If Containment pressure is > 8.5 psig, the crew should ensure a CSAS is actuated and at least one CS header is delivering > 4350 gpm on at least one header.
Performance Feedback: The task provides feedback by observing 4350 gpm on B02 and ERFDADS flow indicators and Containment pressure lowering.
- This Critical Task and the 30 minute time requirement meets Operations Management expectations for an Operating Crew PVNGS 2020 NRC Scenario # 1 Rev 2
Appendix D Critical Task Summary Form ES-D-1 NRC Exam Scenario # 1 Critical Task # 3: Ensure all RCPs are secured within 30 minutes of the Train B CSAS actuation (either manual or automatic actuation)
Safety Significance: Potential degradation of any barrier to fission product release. Failure to perform this task may result in the failure of the RCP seals on RCPs which are operating and not satisfying the respective RCP operating limits Cueing: Although initially cued by the CSAS alarm, the operators will be cued to perform this task by a procedural step in SPTAs. They will also be cued by abnormal RCP operation, such as temperature alarms, seal pressures, cooling water flow, etc.
Measurable Performance Indicator: The task is identified by at least one member of the crew manipulating the controls to stop the RCPs. The trip of the RCPs should be within 30 minutes of the loss of NC.
Performance Feedback: The crew will observe red lights off and green lights on on all of the RCP handswitches as well as 0 amps indicated on each RCP.
- This Critical Task and the 30 minute time requirement meets Operations Management expectations for an Operating Crew NOTE: (Per NUREG-1021 Appendix D) 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 Critical Task identified in the post-scenario review PVNGS 2020 NRC Scenario # 1 Rev 2

Appendix D Scenario Event Summary Form ES-D-1 NRC Exam Scenario # 3 2020 NRC Exam Scenario # 3 Overview Event 1 Containment Pressure Transmitter HCA-PI-351A will fail high. The crew will address the ARP and validate actual Containment pressure using alternate indications. The CRS will address Technical Specifications for the failed transmitter and direct the crew to bypass the affected RPS bistables.
Event 2 Pressurizer Pressure Transmitter 100X will fail low. The crew will address the ARP and validate the failed transmitter. The crew will restore Pressurizer pressure control by transferring the Pressurizer pressure control channel selector to channel Y.
Event 3 A 30 gpm leak will occur in the Auxiliary Building. The crew will address the ARP and 40AO-9ZZ02 Excessive RCS Leakrate and isolate Letdown.
Event 4 The CRS will enter 40AO-9ZZ05 Loss of Charging or Letdown and direct the crew to establish conditions for extended loss of Letdown.
Event 5 C Condenser Air Removal Pump will trip on overcurrent. The crew will address the ARP, start the D Condenser Air Removal Pump and align the suction to the Main Condenser.
Event 6 A small 20 gpm RCS leak will occur. The CRS will enter 40AO-9ZZ02, Excessive RCS Leakrate. After addressing Technical Specifications, the leak will increase and the CRS will direct the crew to start all available Charging Pumps and isolate Letdown. The leakrate will exceed Charging pump capacity and the CRS will direct a manual Reactor trip.
Event 7 The CRS will enter 40EP-9EO01, Standard Post Trip Actions. When SIAS actuates, the B HPSI pump will have a sheared shaft and A HPSI will fail to auto-start. After SPTAs are complete, the CRS will transition to 40EP-9EO03 and direct the crew to place Hydrogen Analyzers in service.
PVNGS 2020 NRC Scenario # 3 Rev 2
Appendix D Driver Set-Up Instructions Form ES-D-1 NRC Exam Scenario # 3 Critical Task # 1: When the Safety Injection Actuation setpoint is exceeded (Start time is when Pressurizer pressure - 1837 psia OR Containment pressure - 3 psig), ensure adequate Safety Injection flow to meet Safety Function requirements within 30 minutes of exceeding the SIAS setpoint.
Safety Significance: This is based on a degraded core cooling system. Inadequate SI flow may result in loss of Subcooled margin and/or core uncovery, and increases the risk of core damage. The 30 minute time requirement is based on 15 minutes (time requirement to complete Safety Function Status Checks) to diagnose the loss of HPSI flow, and 15 minutes for mitigating actions Cueing: Board indications will provide the initial cue that the crew has lost the required SI flow.
Procedural direction will provide the cue to initiate SI flow. Safety Function Status Check is also a possible cue to the crew that they have lost a safety function.
Measurable Performance Indicator: The crew will restore SI flow by manually starting the HPSI pump that failed to auto-start (A HPSI pump).
Performance Feedback: When the crew has started the A HPSI pump there will be indication of HPSI flow on B02 analog indicators and ERFDADS digital indicators.
- This Critical Task and the 30 minutes time requirement meets Operations Management expectations for an Operating Crew Critical Task # 2: Place both Hydrogen Analyzers in service within 30 minutes of the LOCA Basis for CT bounding criteria: Placing all available Hydrogen Analyzers in service within 30 minutes of the start of a LOCA is listed in the PVNGS Time Critical Action Program (TCA-55) and is based on the PVNGS UFSAR section 6.2.5.2.1.
Safety Significance: Per the PVNGS UFSAR, Hydrogen Analyzers must be placed in service within 30 minutes of a LOCA. The crew must be aware of hydrogen concentration inside containment to ensure the Containment Temperature and Pressure Control safety function is met, to determine when hydrogen recombiners or hydrogen purge must be placed in service, and to monitor potential EAL escalation criteria based on containment hydrogen levels.
Cueing: The crew will have procedural direction to place Hydrogen Analyzers in service per 40EP-9EO03, LOCA.
Measurable Performance Indicator: The crew will open the inside and outside containment isolation valve for the Hydrogen Analyzers and place the Power/Control handswitch for each analyzer to the ANALYZE position. The H2 analyzers must be in service within 30 minutes of the LOCA.
Performance Feedback: The crew will have indication of the CIVs being open as indicated by a red light on each valve and the red ANALYZE light being illuminated on each Hydrogen Analyzer.

Appendix D Scenario Event Summary Form ES-D-1 NRC Exam Scenario # 4 2020 NRC Exam Scenario # 4 Overview Event 1 Containment Atmosphere Radiation Monitor RU-1 fails high. The crew will address the ARP and the CRS will address Technical Specifications.
Event 2 RCP 1B Seal Injection Flow controller CHN-FIC-242 fails to 100% causing the associated valve to close. The crew will address the ARP and take manual control of the controller and re-open the valve.
Event 3 A Train B inadvertent AFAS occurs. The CRS will enter 40AO-9ZZ17, Inadvertent PPS-ESFAS Actuations. The crew will take action to stop feeding SG #1 with AFB-P01 to prevent overfeeding and Reactor power to rise.
Event 4 Loop 1A Temperature Transmitter TT-111Y fails high causing all charging pumps to causing letdown flow to lower and pressurizer level to rise. The crew will address the ARP and the CRS will enter 40AO-9ZZ16, RRS Malfunction. The crew will take manual control of Pressurizer level and stabilize level. The CRS will direct the crew to select the unaffected Tavg on the Reactor Regulating System panel Event 5 A SGTR occurs on SG #1. The leak will be ~ 400 gpm and will ramp in over 5 minutes. The CRS will enter 40AO-9ZZ02, Excessive RCS Leakrate, and direct the crew to start all available Charging Pumps and isolate Letdown. The leakrate will exceed Charging pump capacity and the CRS will direct a manual Reactor trip.
Event 6 10 minutes after the Reactor trip an ESD occurs on the ruptured SG #1 outside of Containment. The CRS will enter 40EP-9EO09, Functional Recovery, and crew will feed SG #1 1360-1600 gpm.
Event 7 During the Reactor trip, one CEA will not insert into the core and the CRS will direct borating the RCS per 40EP-9EO10-103, Appendix 103: RCS Makeup / Emergency Boration PVNGS 2020 NRC Scenario # 4 Rev 2
Appendix D Driver Set-Up Instructions Form ES-D-1 NRC Exam Scenario # 4 Critical Task # 1: Commence borating to the RCS at a rate of 26 gpm within 15 minutes of the reactor trip due to less than all full-strength CEAs being fully inserted.
Safety Significance: Per the Time Critical Action Program, commence emergency boration (MODES 3 -
- 5) within 15 minutes due to minimum shutdown margin less than limit in COLR. With less than all full strength CEAs fully inserted, the SDM is assumed to be less than minimum required. Justification for the 15 minutes is from 40DP-9ZZ04, Time Critical Action Program. Justification for the 26 gpm limit is from Technical Specification Bases for LCO 3.1.1, SDM - Reactor Trip Breakers Open.
Cueing: The crew will have indication of the stuck CEA from the Rod Bottom Light for the CEA failing to illuminate on the trip as well as the CPDS (CEA Position Display System) indicating one CEA failed to insert on the reactor trip.
Measurable Performance Indicator: The crew will align Charging Pump suction from the Refueling Water Tank (RWT) and ensure adequate Charging Pump flow of greater than or equal to 26 gpm. The crew will have to manually start a Charging Pump to achieve the minimum required boration flow of 26 gpm. Additionally, the crew will need to start at least one Charging Pump per step 4 of SPTAs for inventory control as well as to utilize Auxiliary Spray to control RCS pressure. Adequate boration flow can also be seen using the CVCS System Diagram using an ERFDADS computer display.
Performance Feedback: The crew will have indication of boration flow by ensuring the Charging Pump suction has been aligned to the Refueling Water Tank and Charging Pump flow is 26 gpm.
- This Critical Task and the 15 minute time requirement meets Operations Management expectations for an Operating Crew PVNGS 2020 NRC Scenario # 4 Rev 2
Appendix D Driver Set-Up Instructions Form ES-D-1 NRC Exam Scenario # 4 Critical Task # 2: Establish a feedrate of 1360-1600 gpm to SG #1 prior to exiting HR-2, RCS and Core Heat Removal, SG with SI.
Safety Significance: An event in which a SG has a tube leak or rupture concurrently with an unisolable steam leak to atmosphere will result in a radioactive release to the atmosphere. A feedrate of 1360-1600 gpm to the affected SG is performed in order to expeditiously establish sufficient inventory in the affected SG to ensure the U-tubes are covered (~ 45% NR), thus minimizing the release to the environment.
Cueing: The crew will have indication of SG tube leakage on SG #1 prior to the reactor trip from ERFDADS indicating a rising leakrate and SG #1 level rising. There will be no immediate Rad Monitor alarms because RU-142 measures N-16 and power is 2%. Once entering an EOP, the crew can also get confirmation from chemistry. The ESD outside of containment will be indicated steam flow on SG #1 rising and pressure on SG #1 lowering.
Measurable Performance Indicator: The crew will align 2 AFW pumps to supply feedwater to SG #1 for a total of 1360-1600 gpm, per step 15 of 40EP-9EO09, Functional Recovery, HR-2, SG with SI.
Performance Feedback: Total feed flow to the affected SG will be available using any ERFDADS computer terminal.
- This Critical Task and establishing feed to the Ruptured/Faulted SG prior to exiting the FRP Success Path requirement meets Operations Management expectations for an Operating Crew NOTE: (Per NUREG-1021 Appendix D) 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 Critical Task identified in the post-scenario review PVNGS 2020 NRC Scenario # 4 Rev 2
