- 1. Determine the number of control room system and in-plant system job performance measures (JPMs) to develop using the following table:
License Level Control Room In-Plant Total Reactor Operator (RO) 8 3
11 Senior Reactor Operator-Instant (SRO-I) 7 3
10 Senior Reactor Operator-Upgrade (SRO-U) 2 or 3 3 or 2 5
- 2. Select safety functions and systems for each JPM as follows:
Refer to Section 1.9 of the applicable knowledge and abilities (K/A) catalog for the plant systems organized by safety function. For pressurized-water reactor operating tests, the primary and secondary systems listed under Safety Function 4, Heat Removal from Reactor Core, in Section 1.9 of the applicable K/A catalog, may be treated as separate safety functions (i.e., two systems, one primary and one secondary, may be selected from Safety Function 4). From the safety function groupings identified in the K/A catalog, select the appropriate number of plant systems by safety functions to be evaluated based on the applicants license level (see the table in step 1).
For RO/SRO-I applicants: Each of the control room system JPMs and, separately, each of the in-plant system JPMs must evaluate a different safety function, and the same system or evolution cannot be used to evaluate more than one safety function in each location. One of the control room system JPMs must be an engineered safety feature.
For SRO-U applicants: Evaluate SRO-U applicants on five different safety functions.
One of the control room system JPMs must be an engineered safety feature, and the same system or evolution cannot be used to evaluate more than one safety function.
- 3. Select a task for each JPM that supports, either directly or indirectly and in a meaningful way, the successful fulfillment of the associated safety function. Select the task from the applicable K/A catalog (K/As for plant systems or emergency and abnormal plant evolutions) or the facility licensees site-specific task list. If this task has an associated K/A, the K/A should have an importance rating of at least 2.5 in the RO column. K/As that have importance ratings of less than 2.5 may be used if justified based on plant priorities; inform the NRC chief examiner if selecting K/As with an importance rating less than 2.5.
The selected tasks must be different from the events and evolutions conducted during the simulator operating test and tasks tested on the written examination. A task that is similar to a simulator scenario event may be acceptable if the actions required to complete the task are significantly different from those required in response to the scenario event.
Apply the following specific task selection criteria:
At least one of the tasks shall be related to a shutdown or low-power condition.
ILC-25 Control Room and In-Plant systems outline NRC Form 3.2-2 02/08/2023 Four to six of the tasks for RO and SRO-I applicants shall require execution of alternative paths within the facility licensees operating procedures. Two to three of the tasks for SRO-U applicants shall require execution of alternative paths within the facility licensees operating procedures.
At least one alternate path JPM must be new or modified from the bank.
At least one of the tasks conducted in the plant shall evaluate the applicants ability to implement actions required during an emergency or abnormal condition.
At least one of the tasks conducted in the plant shall require the applicant to enter the radiologically controlled area. This provides an excellent opportunity for the applicant to discuss or demonstrate radiation control administrative subjects.
If it is not possible to develop or locate a suitable task for a selected system, return to step 2 and select a different system.

C (ALL)
MC (BOP)
A leak develops in the CAS (Control and Service Air) system resulting in lowering CAS pressure. The CRS enters ABN-CAS. The standby CAS compressors fail to auto start and must be started manually (BOP). CAS header pressure initially rises following the manual start of the standby CAS compressors. The CAS leak will then grow in size causing CAS header pressure to again lower. The CRS directs manually opening the feedwater startup flow control valves (ATC) in anticipation of losing all air. The CRS will set a key parameter for CAS pressure which will result in manual scram actions.
NRC Form 3.3-1 Scenario Outline 02/15/23 R1 ILC-25 4
M (ALL)
Without any means to restore CAS header pressure, the CRS will direct a manual reactor scram. An electric ATWS occurs after the Reactor Mode Switch is placed in shutdown. Alternate Rod Insertion (ARI) will not be successful. The crew will respond IAW PPM 5.1.1 (RPV Control) and PPM 5.1.2 (RPV Control -
ATWS). PPM 5.1.1 (Table A1) directs the following: Stop and prevent of injection into the RPV with the exception of CRD, SLC and RCIC (CT-1); Inject boron with SLC (CT-2); and Inhibit ADS. SLC-P-1A trips on overcurrent after running for 1 minute. Removing the applicable RPS fuses per PPM 5.5.11 (Alternate Control Rod Insertions) inserts all control rods.
5 C, MC (BOP)
When reactor water level lowers below -50" while intentionally lowering level under ATWS conditions, FDR-V-4 (Drywell Floor Drain Outboard Discharge PCIV) fails to auto close. BOP manually closes FDR-V-4.
6 6
M (ALL)
After all rods are in (upon pulling RPS fuses) and the crew has transitioned to PPM 5.1.1 RPV Control, TR-S (Startup Transformer) experiences a lockout.
DG-3 output breaker fails to auto close following the lockout and cannot be manually closed making HPCS unavailable. The loss of condensate and feedwater requires that RPV level control be shifted to RCIC.
7 7
MC (BOP)
MS-RV-1C (Main Steam Relief Valve 1C) inadvertently opens causing an uncontrolled RPV pressure reduction. The CRS enters ABN-SRV and directs placing the control switch for MS-RV-1C to OFF (BOP).
8 C, MC (ATC)
Due to the loss of feed and condensate, and with HPCS unavailable, ATC will use RCIC for RPV level control. When ATC restarts RCIC for level control, RCIC-V-13 fails to auto open. ATC manually opens RCIC-V-13 to restore RPV level to the directed band.

NRC Form 3.3-1 Scenario Outline 02/15/23 R1 ILC-25 Facility:
Columbia Generating Station Scenario No.: 3 Op Test No.: 1 Examiners:
Operators:
Initial Conditions:
Columbia is operating at 100% power. CRD-P-1B is tagged out for coupling repairs and is expected back in service next shift.
Turnover:
No evolutions scheduled for this shift.
Critical Tasks:
CT-1 With CRD pressure LT 940 psig and two or more control rod accumulator trouble alarms in, initiate a manual scram within 20 minutes of CRD pressure LT 940 psig. (With a loss of both CRD pumps it would be acceptable for the crew to determine that the accumulator trouble alarms are due to low accumulator pressure, therefore it is not required for the crew to wait on a report from a field operator to perform a manual reactor scram.
CT-2 With a loss of all Reactor Water Level Indication from the main control room: Per PPM 5.1.6 Reactor pressure is lowered using SRVs (or Bypass Valves) and there is an injection source lined up and flow is established to the RPV (PPM 5.1.6 Table L1).
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 CT identified in the post-scenario review.
