I2. The scenarios consist mostly of related events.

3. Each event description consists of 0 the point in the scenario when it is to be initiated J 0 the malfunction(s)that are entered to initiate the event J 0 the symptoms/cues that will be visible to the crew J 0 the expectedoperator actions (by shift position)J 0 the event termination point (if applicable)/

No more than one non-mechanistic failure (e.g., pipe break) is incorporatedinto the scenario without a credible preceding incident such as a seismic event.

I 5. The events are valid with regardto physics and thermodynamics.

Sequencing and timing of events is reasonable, and allows the examination team to obtain complete evaluation results commensurate with the scenario objectives.

If time compressiontechniquesare used, the scenario summary clearly so indicates. Operators have sufficient time to carry out expected activities without undue time constraints.
