- 7) Evaluate individual ability to mitigate a LOCA.
- 8) Evaluate individual response to a failure of cooling water to an Emergency Diesel Generator.
- 9) Evaluate individual ability to monitor operation of Emergency Core Cooling Equipment.
SCENARIO #1 NARRATIVE Simulator session begins with the plant at 100% power. Gland seal regulator, 2PCV-0231 is jacked closed.
When the crew has completed their control room walk down and brief, the A Steam Generator pressure safety channel pressure instrument, 2PT-1041-1, will fail low. This will trip one of the four PPS channels for low SG pressure trip and MSIS. Alarms for MSIS pre-trip, RPS channel trip/pre-trip, and channel A operator insert (2C03) trip and pre-trip lights will be lit. The SRO will refer to the ACA 2203.012D and tech specs 3.3.1.1, 3.3.2.1, 3.3.3.5 and 3.3.3.6 for guidance. The BOP will place Channel A PPS in bypass for point 11, SG pressure low, point 19, A SG delta-P for EFAS 1, and point 20, B SG delta-P for EFAS 2 for maintenance and trouble shooting. The crew will have one hour to place these points in bypass before exceeding the tech spec LCO.
After the A PPS channel is placed in bypass and cued by lead examiner, the Letdown heat exchanger temperature input will fail low. The ATC will report that LETDOWN HX 2E29 OUTLET TEMP HI alarm is in and the letdown heat exchanger temperature is reading low on the hand indicating controller but the computer point and control board indication are reading higher than normal. The SRO will direct the ATC to take manual control of the Letdown heat exchanger temperature control valve and manually control temperature. The SRO will also refer to the ACA for letdown radiation monitor flow low 2K12 J1 RADMONITOR FLOW LO and restore letdown radiation monitor flow.
After the ATC has taken manual control of the letdown temperature control valve, the B Coolant Charging Pump (CCP) will trip. The SRO will enter AOP 2203.036, Loss of Charging. The SRO will direct the ATC to manually start a standby CCP. The SRO should refer to the TRM and determine no LCOs are applicable.
Revision 3 Page 2 of 28
Appendix D Scenario 1 Form ES-D-1 SCENARIO #1 NARRATIVE (continued)
When a backup Charging pump has been started or at the lead examiners cue, a 15 gpm RCS leak will start. The SRO will enter the excess RCS leakage AOP, OP 2203.016. ATC and BOP will perform RCS Leak rate determinations. The SRO will enter Tech Spec 3.4.6.2. The SRO will direct to ATC to maintain pressurizer level within 5% of set point by starting additional charging pumps as needed. The SRO will also direct the ATC to isolate letdown to determine the leak location.
After the crew has determined the leak is not in letdown, they will restore letdown and the crew will perform a plant shutdown.
After the ATC has completed the required reactivity manipulation or cued by lead examiner, a Main Turbine Trip will occur and the crew will verify the reactor has tripped. When the reactor trips Start up transformer #3 will lock out. The RCPs and Circulating Water pumps lose power which will cause natural circulation conditions in the RCS and require steaming to atmosphere. During SPTAs, the BOP will report that #2 EDG service water outlet valve is not open requiring the #2 EDG to be secured locally.
The Crew will implement Standard Post Trip Actions (SPTA), OP 2202.001. After the reactor trips the RCS leakrate will ramp to 225 gpm over 10 minutes.
The SRO will diagnose a loss of coolant accident and enter EOP 2202.003, Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA).
The ATC will cool down the RCS using the atmospheric dump valves. The BOP will override and open the Service Water to Component Cooling Water and Auxiliary Cooling Water valves. The ATC will control RCS pressure to recover pressurizer level. The BOP will take manual control of Emergency Feedwater flow and restore steam generator levels to normal.
Post SIAS, the A High Pressure Safety Injection (HPSI) pump will shear the shaft (red train) and the B high pressure safety injection pump (green train) will not be available due to loss of power.
The BOP will start the C HPSI pump to satisfy the required HSPI flow requirements.

SCENARIO #2 NARRATIVE Simulator session begins with the plant at 100% power steady state Gland seal regulator, 2PCV-0231 is jacked closed and 2T-6A is aligned for acid reducing chemistry.
When the crew has completed their control room walk down and brief, The BOP will drain the Containment sump to the Auxiliary building sump using the normal drain method. When the BOP attempts to close 2CV-2061-2 it remains open. The BOP should ensure the series sump drain valve 2CV-2060-1 is closed and sump level is stable. The SRO will determine that Tech Spec 3.6.3.1 is applicable and will enter Tech Spec 3.6.3.1.
After the Crew has entered the appropriate Tech Spec, verified sump level is stable and cued by lead examiner; the A Service Water Pump (2P-4A) breaker will trip open. The SRO will enter AOP, 2203.022 Loss of Service Water. The SRO will direct the BOP to start 2P-4B Service Water Pump.
After the B Service Water pump is placed in service and cued by lead examiner, the in service Pressurizer (PZR) control channel level instrument will fail high. This will result in letdown going to maximum flow, the two backup CCPs will automatically stop, all PZR heaters energizing and actual PZR level lowers. AOP 2203.028, PZR Systems Malfunctions, will be entered and actions directed by the SRO. The ATC will take the letdown flow controller to manual and control PZR level. The ATC will also verify that the other level control channel is reading correctly and select that channel for control and place the PZR low level cutoff switch to the unaffected channel. The SRO will enter Tech Spec 3.3.3.6 Post Accident Instrumentation. When the auto and manual signals are matched, the ATC will place the letdown flow controller to automatic.

Appendix D Scenario 2 Form ES-D-1 SCENARIO #2 NARRATIVE (continued)
After the ATC has placed B Channel pressurizer level control in service and restored letdown to automatic, The Pine Bluff Systems Operations Center (SOC) will call the Control Room with a Transmission Loading Relief (TLR) to reduce plant output by 200MWe. The SOC will also report that all limits of EN-DC-199 are still met. If Contacted, Unit 1 will be unable to maneuver due to a planned refueling outage.
After the ATC has completed the required reactivity manipulation and cued by lead examiner, 2CV-1010-1 A Steam Generator Main Steam Isolation Valve will fail closed. The crew will verify the reactor is tripped.
The Crew will implement Standard Post Trip Actions (SPTA), OP 2202.001. When the reactor trips one CEA will remain withdrawn which requires emergency boration. The VCT outlet will remain open and 2P-39B Boric Acid Makeup pump will trip when the reactor trips. Reactivity control will not be satisfied. During SPTAs, an Excess Steam Demand event outside of Containment will commence. The Crew will manually actuate Main Steam Isolation Signal (MSIS) or verify that a Main Steam Isolation signal automatically actuates. The Crew will secure and/or verify that Emergency Feedwater (EFW) is not feeding A Steam generator. The ATC will secure two Reactor coolant Pumps when RCS pressure goes below 1400 psia.
The SRO will diagnose Functional Recovery due to reactivity control not being met and enter OP 2202.009, Functional Recovery.
The crew will manually control Reactor Coolant Temperature once the A SG boils dry using the upstream Atmospheric Dump Valve on B SG. The ATC will control RCS pressure using normal spray.

SCENARIO #3 NARRATIVE Simulator session begins with the plant at 60% power Condenser outer waterboxes placed in service after tube plugging. Gland seal regulator, 2PCV-0231 is jacked closed. The previous shift has completed steps 10.1.1 through 10.1.6 of OP-2106.016 (Condensate and Feedwater operations) for placing the B Heater Drain pump in service.
When the crew has completed their control room walk down and brief, the ATC will commence a power escalation and the BOP will place the B Heater drain pump in service.
After the B Heater Drain pump is placed in service, the ATC has completed all required reactivity manipulations and cued by lead examiner, B nuclear instrumentation channel will fail high. This will result in a PPS channel trip and pre-trip, CPC sensor failure alarms and the NI linear and log power instruments on B channel failing to High. The SRO will enter the Nuclear Instrument Malfunction AOP, AOP 2203.026. The SRO will direct the BOP to bypass points 1, 2, 3, and 4 on B PPS. TS 3.3.1.1 and 3.3.3.5 will be entered due to the excore failure.
After the BOP has bypassed points 1, 2, 3, and 4 on B PPS and cued by lead examiner, the B channel Pressurizer (PZR) control channel will fail high. This will result in both main spray valves to automatically open and both proportional heater banks to go to minimum fire. Actual PZR pressure will drop and will result in an automatic reactor trip, if actions are not taken to mitigate the event. The SRO will enter Abnormal operating procedure OP 2203.028, PZR systems malfunctions.
The SRO will direct selecting the opposite control channel.
After the Crew has taken all actions of OP 2203.028 PZR systems malfunctions and cued by lead examiner, a primary to secondary leak will start. The SRO will enter the primary to secondary leakage AOP, OP 2203.038. ATC and BOP will perform RCS Leak rate determinations. The SRO will enter Tech Spec 3.4.6.2. The SRO will direct the NLOs to control secondary contamination using standard attachment 19 and direct the chemists to sample the SGs for activity. When the crew has determined that the primary to secondary leak is greater than 44 gpm, the ATC will trip the reactor.

Appendix D Scenario 3 Form ES-D-1 SCENARIO #3 NARRATIVE (continued)
When the ATC attempts to manually trip the reactor RPS will not work and the SRO will direct the ATC to trip the reactor using the DSS system. The Crew will implement Standard Post Trip Actions (SPTA), OP 2202.001. During SPTAs the generator output breakers will fail to automatically open and require the BOP to manually open the breakers. The Crew should actuate safety injection (SIAS) and containment cooling actuation signal (CCAS) or verified that SIAS and CCAS automatically actuates. The Crew will lower Steam Dump master controller setpoint during SPTAs to aid in maintaining margin to saturation. The ATC will secure two Reactor coolant Pumps when RCS pressure goes below 1400 psia.
The SRO will diagnose a Steam Generator Tube Rupture event and enter OP 2202.004, Steam Generator Tube Rupture. The ATC will cool down the RCS to less than 535°F using the bypass valves to the condenser. The BOP will override SW to CCW and ACW. The BOP will isolate the B SG using standard attachment 10 when RCS Thot is less than 535°F.
After the EOP is entered, the RCS cooldown is started and at the lead examiners discretion, A vacuum pump will trip and B vacuum pump will NOT automatically start. The BOP will manually start B vacuum pump. If this vacuum pump is not started, the SDBCS bypass valves will close and the crew will have to steam the ruptured SG to atmosphere resulting in an off site radiological release.
