Page 2 SCENARIO OVERVIEW Unit 1 is at 100% power, steady state, equilibrium xenon, MOL. Online risk is green. CBD @ 221 steps , and boron concentration is 892 ppm. 1BOSR 3.g.4-1 , Turbine Throttle and Governor Valve surveillance is scheduled later on in this shift and requires the unit to be ramped to 89% power at 3MW/min.
The 1B CS pump is O.O.S. for pump impellor replacement. Grid status is green. Unit status is yellow based on the CS pump work window.
After completing shift turnover and relief, the crew will ramp the unit to 89% power at 3MW/min After the ramp is in
-progress , steam generator 1A atmospheric relief valve 1MS018A, will develop a hydraulic leak. The Unit Supervisor will enter Tech Spec 3.7.4, Condition A and Tech Spec 3.6.3, Condition C. The crew will dispatch an operator to close 1MS019A to comply with TS 3.6.3, condition C. 1MS018A will remain unavailable for the remainder of the scenario. On line risk remains green.
After the Unit supervisor makes the TS call, 1PT 508 will fail low causing feed pump speed to rise. The BOP will respond and manual FW pp speed control will be available. AUTOMATIC operation of Feedwater pump speed control will not be available for the remainder of the scenario.
After the 1PT
-508 failure has been addressed , 1CV121 will slowly fail in automatic. The RO will take manual control and restore normal charging flow. AUTOMATIC operation of 1CV121 will not be available for the remainder of the scenario.
After the crew has taken actions for the failure of 1CV121
, turbine impulse pressure channel 1PT
-505 will fail low over a 30 second period. Control rods will begin automatically inserting. After recognizing the instrument failure and checking turbine power stable, the RO will place rod control in manual to stop the inward rod motion. 1BOA INST
-2, OPERATION WITH A FAILED INSTRUMENT CHANNEL, Attachment D , will be implemented. The crew will defeat the failed instrument and the RO will restore Tave
- Tref deviation. Technical specification 3.3.1, conditions A and P apply.
After the PT
-505 failure is addressed , a loss of IB 114 will occur due to a fault on the instrument bus, This will require performance of BOA ELEC
-2 to stabilize and recover the plant. The US will address Tech Spec 3.8.9, which requires a shutdown to Hot Standby within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />. Several actions will be required as a result of not being able to power the Instrument Bus. These include implementation of 1BOA Instrument 1 for the failed N.I. Channel and dispatching an EO to fail open 1AF005 E-H and locally controlling flow as needed or using 1AF013E
-H After the Unit Supervisor has evaluated the failed Instrument Bus
, 1FW-012C fails open. The BOP will take manual control and restore normal feedwater flow.
After normal feedwater flow is restored and the plant stabilized, a LB LOCA occurs in the 1C hot leg. The crew will respond utilizing 1BEP
-0, 1BEP-1 and will eventually transition to 1BEP ES
-1.3 Transfer to Cold Leg Recirculation.
1A and B RH pumps will fail to start on the SI signal but start if a manual start is attempted. The cause of the auto start failure is two ESF relay failure
- s. Additionally, all B Train ESF equipment will NOT auto start due to the failed instrument bus.
Containment pressure will rise to the phase B actuation setpoint requiring the RCP to be tripped. Completion criteria is selection of and transition to 1BEP ES
-1.3 , Transfer to Cold Leg Recirculation and completion of the first 7 steps.

After completing shift turnover and relief, the crew is directed to switch Bus 156 from SAT to UAT following ACB 1561 maintenance using 1BGP 100
-3, Step F.43 for reference.
During the Bus power supply swap, the Unit Supervisor will be called by Engineering stating that after reviewing the previously run ASME surveillance the 1A SI pump has failed the acceptance criteria.
Entry into Tech Spec 3.5.2 Condition A will be made.
After the Unit Supvr makes the TS call , 1A Tcold RTD fails high, requiring entry to 1BOA Inst
-2, Operation with a Failed Instrument Channel. This will require entry into Tech Specs by the SRO. Entry into Tech. Spec. 3.3.1 Condition A and E is made.
After 1BOA Inst
-2 is exited, VCT Level channel 1LT
-112 fails low. RMCS auto makeup will start, and the crew will have to place the Makeup Mode Select switch to Off. Any required makeup will have to be done in Manual for the remainder of the scario..
After the level channel failure has been addressed, the 1C CB/CB pump will trip. The crew will enter 1BOA SEC-1, Secondary Pump Trip, Unit 1, attachment B. A reduction in turbine load, via runback will be required.
After the run back is complete and the unit has been stabilized , the controlling feedwater flow channel on the 1B SG fails low. The BOP will take manual control of feedwater flow. 1BOA INST 2, OPERATION WITH A FAILED INSTRUMENT CHANNEL, Attachment G, will be implemented. The BOP will restore feedwater flow control to automatic when SG level is restored to normal. On line risk remains green.
After the level channel failure has been addressed, CNMT pressure channel 1PT-936 fails high. This has no immediate required actions, but the US will be responsible to evaluate Tech Specs. Crew will enter 1BOA Inst-2, Operation with a Failed Instrument Channel to address the failure.
Entry into TS 3.3.2, conditions A, D & E is applicable.
After the CNMT pressure channel failure has been addressed, the 1C RCP trips. When the crew attempts to trip the reactor, the trip breakers will fail to open. The manual Turbine trip P.B. will also malfunction. The turbine can be tripped via the electronic turbine trip feature associated with DEHC. The crew will enter 1BFR S.1, ATWS. At step 16, the crew will be directed to return to 1BEP
-0, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection.
Completion criterion is transition to 1BEP
-0, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection. The lead evaluator may end the scenario at the transition.

Page 2 SCENARIO OVERVIEW Unit 1 is at 75% power, steady state, equilibrium xenon, M OL CB D is at 172 steps and boron concentration is 950 ppm. Online risk is yellow due to the 1A CS pp being out of service. The crew is to ramp the unit to 700 MWe at 3.0 MW/min After completing shift turnover and relief, the crew will commence the ramp down by boration to 70 0 MWe. Before the ramp has commenced, a DRPI failure will occur on Rod K
-8 requiring the U.S.
to determine if Tech Spec. 3.1.7 is applicable.
After the ramp has commenced , the annunciator for RCP Seal Injection High DP will alarm. BOP CV
-10, CV Filter Operations will be utilized to swap Seal Injection Filters. The crew may enter 1BOA RCP-2, Loss of Seal Cooling, which directs the use of BOP CV
-10 to swap filters.
Since the standby filter is placed in service , 1BOSR 5.5.1
-1 is required to be performed IAW Tech Spec 3.5.5. This evolution is NOT included with this material
. After normal seal injection flow is restored and the plant stabilized, Pressurizer level transmitter 1LT
-459A, the controlling channel, fails high. The RO will take manual control of either the Master Pzr level controller or 1CV121 to raise charging. The crew will enter 1BOA Inst
-2, and there is a high level bistable to be eventually tripped. The SRO will refer to Tech. Specs 3.3.1, 3.3.4 and 3.3.3. TS 3.3.1, conditions A and K are applicable.
After the actions for the Pzr control malfunction are completed, 1B TDFP spuriously trips, causing a reduction in feedwater flow. The crew will enter 1BOA Sec
-1 and perform a fast start of the motor driven feedwater pump After taking actions for the Feedwater pump trip and the plant stabilizes , the 1D SG controlling steam pressure channel, 1PT 545A, will fail low requiring manual control of the 1D SG feedwater regulating valve. The SRO will enter 1BOA INST
-2, for the failed SG Steam pressure channel and direct actions to restore the 1D feedwater regulating valve to automatic control. Tech Spec 3.3.2, Conditions A and D apply.
After the ramp has been initiated, a 4 Mlb/hour fault develops and ramps in over 240 seconds in the 1D Steam Line inside Containment. The crew will trip or verify a trip of the reactor, initiate or verify Main Steam Line isolation, and initiate or verify Safety Injection. The crew will enter 1BEP
-0, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection, transition to 1BEP
-2, Faulted Steam Generator Isolation, then transition to 1BEP ES
-1.1, SI Termination
. The Containment Spray pumps will not automatically start, requiring the crew to manually actuate Containment Spray.
Manual action must be taken to start the 1B CS pump
. In addition, 2 RCFC will not start in low speed which will require a CS pump to function.
Completion criterion is transition to 1BEP ES
-1.1, SI Termination. The lead evaluator may end the scenario at the transition, or after SI has been terminated.
Critical Ta sks 1. Manually actuate at least the minimum required complement of containment cooling equipment before an extr eme (red-path) challenge develops to the containment CSF.

The 1B DG is OOS for Turbo Charger work. The 1B DG has been OOS for 18 hours2.083333e-4 days <br />0.005 hours <br />2.97619e-5 weeks <br />6.849e-6 months <br /> and is expected to be returned to service by the end of the shift. LCOAR for Tech Spec 3.8.1 Condition B has been entered; 1BOSR 8.1.1
-1 was completed 30 minutes ago. 1A FW pump is OOS for work on the speed increaser and not expected back for 2 days.
After a board walk down and turnover
, 1PT455 will fail high. The RO will take manual control and stop RCS pressure lowering caused by this instrument malfunction. The crew will enter 1BOA Instrument
-2 OPERATION WITH A FAILED INSTRUMENT CHANNEL ATTACHMENT B. The SRO will review Tech Specs. 3.3.1 conditions A, E & K, 3.3.2 condition D, 3.3.4 Condition A and inform the SM of same.
After the instrument failure actions are complete , a 30 gpm tube leak will be initiated in the 1C SG. The crew must identify primary to secondary leakage based on SJAE/GS condenser and main steam line Radiation Monitors.
There may also be a charging/letdown mismatch.
This will require actions in 1BOA SEC-8 requiring plant power reduction to 50% power within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> and shutdown to Hot Standby within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> after reaching 50%. Tech Spec 3.4.13 actions are addressed also requiring shut down to MODE 3 within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />.
After the crew has taken actions for the SG tube leak and commenced the down power to 50
%, Main Steam Pressure transmitter, 1PT
-507, fails low causing the Master Feed Pump Speed controller to lower FW Pump's speed, which results in loss of FW flow to all SGs. Action is required to take Manual control of FW pump speed to restore and maintain SG levels at program level for the remainder of the scenario. This failure is not addressed in a BOA or in Tech Specs but actions are driven by the BAR. Maintenance should be notified and specific directions should be given to the BOP for controlling FW pump speed in Manual to maintain SG levels and proper FW discharge pressure to SG delta pressure I.A.W. d/p placard on 1PM04J.
Feed pump speed control will remain in manual for the remainder of the scenario.
While the BOP is stabilizing the MFP speed control, PCV-131, L/D backpressure control valve, will fail closed.
This malfunction can occur independently or simultaneously with the failure of 1PT
-507. This will require manual control to restore backpressure and prevent the L/D line relief to lifting, if left in Auto. This failure is not addressed in a BOA or in Tech Specs. Actions are driven by the appropriate Annunciator Response procedure. Maintenance should be notified and specific directions should be given to the RO for controlling letdown backpressure.
Once FW Pump -131 manual controls have been directed, the 1B FW pump will trip requiring actions in 1BOA SEC
-1 to runback the turbine, since the 1A FW pump is OOS, to maintain SG levels with only 1 FW pump running. Once the initial actions for the runback have been taken and turbine load is dropping, boration is commenced and/or rod insertion, the 1C FW pump will trip , resulting in no fee d to the SGs resulting in a Reactor trip and entry into 1BEP
-0. The crew may transition to 1BEP ES
-0.1. Following the reactor trip, a Steam Generator Tube Rupture (350 gpm in 1C SG) will occur requiring a Safety Injection and continuation in or reentry into 1BEP-0. The crew will diagnose the SGTR and transition to 1BEP

Byron Spare.docx Page 23 4/18/2013 Information Use BORATION / DILUTION CALCULATIONS Purpose: The purpose of this power change reactivity worksheet is to establish a boundary for the amount of boration / dilution that may be required and to assist in meeting industry expectations for reactivity control during a power ramp. The worksheet assumes steady state reactor power prior to the ramp and DOES NOT consider Xenon effects. Since the worksheet establishes a boundary, the operator experience plays an equal if not more important role in ensuring proper reactivity controls. 40% to 70% of the boration / dilution amount will normally be added.
