16. Event 2 ATC & BOP actions - describe how 28-21 is individually scrammed.

a) Annotated the step for individually scramming 28-21 by stating that the action is performed locally at the HCU B. Scenario 2

1. Initial Conditions a) Is the initial condition of 90% power set to accommodate Event

1. 2 not resulting in a reactor scram? Is there a potential premature Scram Risk here if examinees are slow to respond?

(1) OK as is, no change

2. Event 9/10 SRO actions - critical task for spraying the contain-ment should read "before Fig. N" instead of referring to Fig. O.

a) Reworded action as follows - "Directs placing both loops of RHR in Containment Spray to maintain containment pressure less than Fig. N Pressure Suppression Pressure"

3. Add reactivity manipulation to the beginning of the scenario a) Reshot the IC to place power at ~93%. Inserted new event 2 to lower power to ~ 91% with RR flow to support upcoming surveillance 9031.10.

b) Revised turnover sheets to reflect new power level. Edited event numbers in the scenario outline to reflect insertion of the new event.

C. Scenario 3

5. Event 9, Steam Leak/ATWS/Drywell to Containment Leak; Scenario guide implies entry into EOP-1A, however, if using the Manual Scram Push-buttons and/or ARI are immediate Scram actions and should be completed before entering EOP-1, negating the need to transition to 1A a) Changed inhibiting ADS to optional (open bullet)

6. Event 9/10 SRO Actions - make performing EOP-1A actions "hollow bullet" actions.

a) Changed EOP-1A actions to hollow bullet actions.
