1/2RO 19CE/A16 AK1.10003 AK1.19 rejected because we could not identify plausibledistractors when creating a question. There is no referencesin OPS procedures that discussed differential rod worthduring a dropped CEA.
1/2RO 22051 AK3.01032 AK3.01 rejected because we could not develop a loss ofsource range question that did not duplicate existing ROquestions on this exam (RO68) or the previous two exams.
1/2RO 26074 EA1.01074 EA1.13 and the K/A for question number 59 were bothasking about subcooling monitors. Rejected the K/A for RO26 because we could not develop independent questions.
2/1RO 28003 K6.14003 K6.04 rejected because we could not develop a questionwhere a fault of a CIV would affect a RCP. CBO flow has twoCIV's but isolating them has no effect due to flow beingdirected to another location, and the CCW valves to theRCPs fail in the open (no effect) position.
2/1RO 38012 K1.02012 K1.04 rejected. The rod position indicating system doesnot have a direct physical connection with the W3 RPSsystem. Could not develop a question that effectivelymatched the K/A.
2/1RO 45076 A1.02059 A1.03 rejected because a question could not bedeveloped that did not require a reference and a direct look up.2/1RO 51004 K5.30073 K5.01 rejected because we could only find questions forthis K/A that pertained to radiation theory. We could not applythis theory to the Process Radiation Monitors and haveadequate technical references.

The SRO should enter intoprocedure OP-901-113, Volume Control Tank Makeup Control Malfunction, and direct the ATC to placevalve CVC-169 to the VCT position.After the crew addresses the VCT instrument malfunction,RCS Cold Leg instrument RC-ITI-0102CC onCP-7 fails high. The crew will enter TS 3.3.1 action 2 and bypass bistables 3 & 4 on channel C on CP-10.After Technical Specifications are addressed and Channel C bistables bypassed, Charging Pump B tripson overcurrent. The SRO will implement OP-901-112, Charging or Letdown Malfunction, Section E 1 ,Charging Malfunction. The SRO should direct the ATC to start a standby charging pump after verifying asuction path available or isolate Letdown using CVC-101, Letdown Stop Valve. If Letdown is isolated,Charging and Letdown will be re-initiated using Attachment 2 of OP-901-112. The SRO should reviewand enter Technical Specification 3.1.2.4. Technical Specification 3.1.2.4 may be exited after aligningCharging Pump AB to replace Charging Pump B.The SRO may implement EN-OP-200, TransientResponse Rules.After the crew addresses the Charging pump malfunction, Steam Generator 2 Level Control Transmitter,SG-ILT-1106 fails low. The SRO should direct the BOP to take manual control of SG2 level 50-70%Narrow Range and establish contingency actions. The SRO will enter OP-901-201, Steam GeneratorLevel Control Malfunction and implement Attachment 1, General Actions. Manual action by the BOP tocontrol SG2 level will be required during the subsequent plant shutdown and reactor trip.After the crew completes actions in OP-901-201, a leak in the Main Condenser develops and MainCondenser vacuum begins to drop. The SRO will enter OP-901-220, Loss of Condenser Vacuum. MainCondenser vacuum will drop below 25 inches, requiring a rapid plant power reduction. The SRO willenter OP-901-212, Rapid Plant Power Reduction and should implement EN-OP-200, Transient ResponseRules. Vacuum will drop below 25 inches but remain above 20 inches, the procedure trigger for trippingthe Reactor. For the power reduction, the ATC will perform direct boration to the RCS as well as ASIcontrol with CEAs and Pressurizer boron equalization. The BOP will manipulate the controls to reduceMain Turbine load.After the reactivity manipulation is satisfied, Reactor Coolant Pump 2A rotor seizes and the RCP breakertrips. The Reactor Protection System fails to open the required Reactor Trip Breakers and an ATWScondition exists. The ATC should recognize that an automatic protection system has failed to occur andmanually trip the reactor by depressing both Reactor Trip pushbuttons (A and D) on CP-2(CRITICALTASK 1). The Reactor will be successfully tripped from CP-2 and the SRO will enter OP-902-000,Standard Post Trip Actions.During the performance of Standard Post Trip Actions (RCS Heat Removal checks), an excess steamdemand event will occur on SG 1 outside containment upstream of the MSIV. The SRO will direct theATC/BOP to initiate Safety Injection, Containment Isolation and Main Steam Isolation. The SRO will directaction to establish RCS Temperature and Pressure control using SG 2(CRITICAL TASK 2)when CETtemperature and PZR pressure begins to rise indicating a blown dry SG. Relay K202A will fail to actuateresulting in CVC-109, Letdown Outside Containment Isolation, CVC-401, Controlled Bleedoff OutsideContainment Isolation, IA-909, Instrument Air Containment Isolation and FP-601A, Fire Water AContainment Isolation, valves not going to their required positions. The ATC and BOP will take action toclose these valves. The crew should diagnose to OP-902-004, Excess Steam Demand Recovery andisolate Steam Generator 1.The scenario can be terminated after the crew has isolated Steam Generator 1 or at the lead examiner'sdiscretion.
NRC Scenario 1- 3 -2017 NRC Exam Scenario 1 D-1 Rev 2Critical TaskNumberDescriptionBasis 1Establish Reactivity ControlThis task is satisfied by manuallytripping the reactor using the manualpushbuttons, Diverse Reactor Trip, orde-energizing bus 32A and 32B within 1minute of exceeding a PPS limit. Thistask becomes applicable following theRCP trip.(OP-902-000, 1.a.1)Failure to trip the reactor when an automaticPPS signal has failed to actuate can lead todegradation of fission product barriers. OPSManagement Expectation of 1 minute isdetermined to be a reasonable time limit toidentify and take action for satisfactoryperformance.(TM-OP-100-03, CT-1) 2Establish RCS Pressure andTemperature ControlThis task is satisfied by manually feedingand steaming the unaffected SteamGenerator to stabilize RCS temperatureand pressure prior to exiting the step tostabilize RCS temperature in OP-902-004, Excess Steam Demand Recoveryand take action to achieve and maintainless than 1600 PSID across the affectedSteam Generator. This task becomesapplicable once CET temperature andPZR pressure begins to rise followingthe ESDE. (OP-902-004, step 18 or OP-902-009, App. 13)An ESDE will result in a rapid cooldown anddepressurization of the RCS. After the SteamGenerator dries out, RCS temperature andpressure will begin to recover. Operator actionis required to stabilize RCS pressure andtemperature to prevent a situation that maycause pressurized thermal shock which couldjeopardize the RCS integrity. A large D/Pacross the Steam Generator tubes will make asubsequent SGTR more likely.(TM-OP-100-03, CT-7)

- (N)ormal, (R)eactivity, (I)nstrument, (C)omponent, (M)ajor Scenario Event DescriptionNRC Scenario 2- 2 -2017 NRC Exam Scenario 2 D-1 Rev 1The crew assumes the shift at 100% power with instructions to maintain 100% power. Low PressureSafety Injection pump A is out of service. The crew turnover includes instructions to complete OP-903-046, Emergency Feed Pump Operability, for Emergency Feedwater (EFW) Pump A. EFW pump A will tripon overcurrent shortly after it is started. The SRO should declare EFW pump A inoperable and enter TechSpec 3.7.1.2.d.After Tech Specs are addressed, Loop 1 T hot instrument, RC-ITI-0111X, fails low. This affects theReactor Regulating System Tave calculation and the Pressurizer Level Setpoint. The SRO should enterOP-901-110, Pressurizer Level Control Malfunction and implement Section E2, Pressurizer LevelSetpoint Malfunction. The crew should take manual control of Pressurizer Level, select the non-faulted T hot instrument (Loop 2) in both Reactor Regulating System cabinets, verify normal setpoint is restoredand restore Pressurizer Level Control to Auto after returning Pressurizer Level to setpoint.After Pressurizer Level control is in automatic, Reactor Coolant Pump 2A Lower Seal fails. The crewshould enter OP-901-130, Reactor Coolant Pump Malfunction and implement Section E1, Seal Failure.After the crew is in Section E1 of OP-901-130 AND the BOP has adjusted Component Cooling WaterTemperature, Steam Generator 1 Pressure Instrument, SG-IPT-1013A, fails low. The SRO should reviewand enter Technical Specifications 3.3.1 action 2, 3.3.2 actions 13 and 19 and 3.3.3.5 action a. The SROwill direct the BOP to bypass Steam Generator 1 Pressure Lo, Steam Generator 1 DP, and SteamGenerator 2 DP trip bistables (11, 19 & 20) in Plant Protection System Channel A within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />, inaccordance with OP-009-007, Plant Protection System. The SRO should review Technical Specifications3.3.3.5 and 3.3.3.6 using OP-903-013, Monthly Channel Checks, and determine that TechnicalSpecification 3.3.3.5 is applicable and 3.3.3.6 is not.Once the SRO has addressed Technical Specifications and trip bistables are bypassed, a tube leakoccurs in Feedwater Heater 5B, causing Condensate flow to isolate through Low Pressure FeedwaterHeaters 5B and 6B. The crew should enter OP-901-221, Secondary System Transient, and implementSection E1, Loss of Feedwater Preheating. This also requires a power reduction to < 72% power usingOP-901-212, Rapid Plant Power Reduction. The SRO should implement EN-OP-200, TransientResponse Rules.After the reactivity manipulation is satisfied, Reactor Coolant Pump 2A Middle Seal fails. The crew shouldtrip the reactor, implement OP-902-000, Standard Post Trip Actions AND secure Reactor Coolant Pump 2A.After Reactor Coolant Pump 2A is secured, Pressurizer Code Safety, RC-317A, fails open. The crewshould diagnose to OP-902-002, Loss of Coolant Accident Recovery. The crew should secure anadditional Reactor Coolant Pump in the opposite loop (preferably 1A) when RCS Pressure lowers to<1621 PSIA and secure all Reactor Coolant Pumps exceeding NPSH limits as indicated by high vibrationor within 3 minutes of the Containment Spray Actuation(CRITICAL TASK 1)
.When Safety Injection occurs, either manually or automatically, HPSI Pump B fails to Auto Start. HighPressure Safety Injection (HPSI) pump A will run for about three minutes, degrade internally and trip. TheBOP should manually start High Pressure Safety Injection Pump B(CRITICAL TASK 2)
.The scenario can be terminated after the crew starts a cooldown or at the lead examiner's discretion.

All requirements have been met to change modes from MODE 2 toMODE 1. The SRO should direct raising power using Control Element Assemblies in accordance with thereactivity plan, OP-010-003, Plant Startup and OP-010-004, Power Operations.After the AFW pump is secured and the reactivity manipulation has been satisfied
,Pressurizer levelcontroller RC-ILIC-0100 fails off. The CRS should enter OP-901-110, Pressurizer Level ControlMalfunction, and implement section E3. This will require the ATC to control Letdown from CP-4. Thereare no Tech Spec consequences of the failure provided the crew restores letdown flow prior to exceeding62.5% level in the pressurizer.After the Pressurizer Level Controller Failure is addressed, RWSP Level instrument,SI-ILI-0305B, fails low and generates an RAS trip on channel B. The ATC operator will review theannunciators for this failure. The CRS should evaluate Tech Specs and enter Tech Spec 3.3.2 anddetermine that the Plant Protection System bistable (18) for Low RWSP Level must be bypassed within 1hour on Channel B. Tech Spec 3.3.3.5 and 3.3.3.6 should be referenced but not entered.After the Low RWSP bistable is bypassed, Component Cooling Water Pump B trips on overcurrent. TheSRO should enter OP-901-510, Component Cooling Water System Malfunction, and direct the start ofComponent Cooling Water Pump AB to replace Component Cooling Water Pump B. The SRO shouldenter Technical Specification 3.7.3 and cascading Technical Specifications per OP-100-014, TechnicalSpecification and Technical Requirements Compliance and comply with a 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> action by performingOP-903-066, Electrical Breaker Alignment Check. Once CCW pump AB is in service Tech Spec 3.7.3 andcascading Tech Specs may be exited.After the SRO has addressed Technical Specifications, the selected Pressurizer Pressure Channel failshigh causing pressurizer spray to initiate. When the crew takes manual control of the Pressurizer SprayController, Pressurizer Spray Valve, RC-301B remains open. The crew should select Spray Valve A.When RC-301B remains open, the crew should determine a reactor trip is required to secure sufficientReactor Coolant Pumps to stop the RCS depressurization(Critical Task 1). The crew will be taking theactions required by OP-901-120, Pressurizer Control Malfunction but may not enter the procedure prior tothe reactor trip due to the pressure dropping in the RCS. The SRO should enter OP-902-000, StandardPost Trip Actions. In order to restore Pressurizer heaters the SRO will have to implement the section inthe offnormal to select the non-faulted pressurizer pressure control channel and the pressurizer levelmust recover above the low level heater cutout setpoint reset (~30%).After the crew has secured sufficient Reactor Coolant Pumps for the Spray valve failure and the crew isperforming Standard Post Trip Actions, a loss of off-site power occurs. Emergency Diesel Generator A willtrip on overspeed. Emergency Diesel Generator B will start but, its output breaker will fail to closeautomatically due to the 3B to 2B Bus Tie Breaker failing to open on undervoltage. The crew mustmanually trip the 3B to 2B Bus Tie Breaker which allows EDG B output breaker to close automatically andre-energize the B Safety Bus(Critical Task 2). If the crew fails to manually trip the 3B to 2B Bus TieBreaker, a station blackout results and EDG B will eventually overheat and fail due to no CCW cooling.The SRO should enter OP-902-003, Loss of Offsite Power/Loss of Forced Circulation Recovery. TheSRO should direct a non-licensed operator to restore power to the Dry Cooling Tower Sump Pumps. TheBOP should take action to protect the Main Condenser from over-pressurization. The scenario can beended after these actions are complete
, or at the lead examiner's discretion.

This task becomesapplicable after Pressurizer Spray ValveB, RC-301B, fails open. (OP-901-120, E3 step 3)RCS subcooling is an integral part of adequatepressure control, inventory control, and Coreheat removal. The importance of keeping thefluid surrounding the Core in a subcooled statecarries a high degree of nuclear safetysignificance based on its direct relationship tothese safety functions.(ECS-98-001, S.01) 2Energize at Least One Safety Electrical BusThis task is satisfied by the crew takingaction to energize the B Safety Bus bytripping the 3B-to-2B Bus Tie breakerprior to failure of Emergency DieselGenerator B due to no ComponentCooling Water. This task becomesapplicable after the loss of offsite poweroccurs.

.*(N)ormal, (R)eactivity, (I)nstrument, (C)omponent, (M)ajor Scenario Event DescriptionNRC Scenario 4- 2 -2017 NRC Exam Scenario 4 D-1 Rev 1The crew assumes the shift at ~90% power with instructions to start Heater Drain Pump B and continuethe power ascension after PMI resolves a problem with the Low Suction Pressure annunciator on HeaterDrain Pump B.PMI will not resolve the annunciator problem and the crew will maintain ~90% power. Nomajor equipment is out of service.After the crew takes the shift,Condensate Storage Pool level indicator EFW-ILI-9013 A will fail low. TheSRO should use OP-903-013, Monthly channel Checks, and enter Tech Spec 3.3.3.5 and 3.3.3.6.After Technical Specifications are addressed, the in-service letdown flow control valve, CVC-113A, failsclosed. The SRO should enter OP-901-112, Charging or Letdown Malfunction and implement SectionE2, Letdown Malfunction, and place the backup flow control valve, CVC-113B, in-service. The SRO mayimplement EN-OP-200, Transient Response Rules.After the backup letdown flow control valve has been placed in service, Steam Generator #1 Feedwaterflow instrument FW-IFR-1111 fails low. The Feedwater Control System will respond by increasingFeedwater flow to Steam Generator #1. The SRO should direct the BOP to take manual control andmatch Feedwater and Main Steam flow. The SRO should enter OP-901-201, Steam Generator LevelControl Malfunction. Feedwater controls for Steam Generator #1 may remain in manual as a result of thisfailure requiring manual control on a plant down power or reactor trip. The Ultrasonic Flow Meter will failas a result of the instrument failure and require entry into TRM 3.3.5. The SRO may implement EN-OP-200, Transient Response Rules.After the crew has worked through OP-901-201 and level in Steam Generator 1 is between 50% and 70%Narrow Range,CEA 11 (Reg. Group 4) drops into the core. The SRO should enter procedure OP-901-102, CEA or CEDMCS Malfunction and proceed to section E 1, CEA Misalignment Greater than 7 inches.The SRO will direct the BOP to adjust turbine load to match TAVG to TREF initially and then perform a rapidplant downpower in accordance with OP-901-212, Rapid Plant Power Reduction. RCS direct borationmust commence within 15 minutes of the dropped CEA to comply with Technical Specifications and theCOLR. The SRO should enter procedure OP-901-501, PMC or COLSS Malfunction. Actions in OP-901-501 are normally performed by the STA. The SRO should evaluate and enter TS 3.1.3.1 action c. TheSRO should implement EN-OP-200, Transient Response Rules.After the reactivity manipulation has been satisfied, an RCS leak will occur. The RCS leak will ramp into amedium break LOCA. Charging Pump A will fail to auto start requiring a manual start by the ATC. TheSRO may enter OP-901-111, RCS System Leak, but will soon recognize that Pressurizer level is notbeing maintained with available Charging pumps and should direct a manual reactor trip and manualinitiation of Safety Injection and Containment Isolation. The SRO should implement OP-902-000,Standard Post Trip Actions and diagnose to OP-902-002, Loss of Coolant Accident Recovery Procedure.The ATC should stop RCPs exceeding operating limits as RCS pressure lowers or within three minutes ofa Containment Spray actuation(CRITICAL TASK 1). Containment Spray Header B Isolation (CS-125B)will fail to open automatically requiring the BOP to manually open CS-125B(CRITICAL TASK 2)
.After the crew diagnoses to OP-902-002, Main Steam Line 2 breaks inside Containment. ContainmentSpray Pump A will trip on overcurrent. The SRO should go to OP-902-009 Appendix 1, DiagnosticsFlowchart and diagnose to OP-902-008, Functional Recovery OR go directly to OP-902-008 based ontwo events in progress per OP-100-017, Emergency Operating Procedures Implementation Guide. Whenthe SRO performs prioritization Containment Isolation (CI-1) should be the highest priority. The SROshould direct the BOP to override and close CS-125A, Containment Spray Header A Isolation(CRITICALTASK 3).The scenario can be terminated once the crew closes Containment Spray Header A Isolation inaccordance with OP-902-008, Functional Recovery procedure or at the lead examiner's discretion.
NRC Scenario 4- 3 -2017 NRC Exam Scenario 4 D-1 Rev 1Critical TaskNumberDescription Basi s 1Trip Any RCP Exceeding Operating LimitsThis task is satisfied by stopping all runningRCPs within 3 minutes of loss of ComponentCooling Water flow or prior to completing thestep that verifies RCP operating limits. Thistask becomes applicable after either runningRCP Vibration alarms actuate ORContainment Spray is initiated, whicheveroccurs first. (OP-902-002, 9.b or 9.d.1)The time requirement of 3 minutes is based on theRCP operating limit of 3 minutes without CCWcooling. Continued operation of RCP without CCWor outside of the operating limits could lead to afailure of the RCS pressure boundary at the RCPseal.(TM-OP-100-03, CT-23; ECS98-001, D.10) 2Establish Containment Temperature andPressure ControlThis task is satisfied by manually openingCS-125B, Containment Spray Header BIsolation, prior to exceeding containmentdesign pressure of 44 PSIG or prior tocompleting Containment Spray (CS)verification in OP-902-002 or exiting theContainment Temperature and PressureControl Safety Function in OP-902-008. Thistask becomes applicable after CS is initiatedand is critical after CS Pump A trips. (OP-902-002, step 14 or OP-902-008, CTPC-2)The maximum design pressure of the containmentstructure is 44 psig. Failure to take action toestablish containment pressure and temperaturecontrol may result in containment pressureexceeding maximum design and therefore exceeddesign leakage of containment. The operatorsmonitor containment pressure along withContainment Spray and Containment Fan Cooleroperations as verification of adequate containmentheat removal and pressure mitigation.(TM-OP-100-03, CT-15; ECS98-001, P.28) 3Establish Containment IsolationThis task is satisfied by closing CS-125A,Containment Spray Header A Isolation, priorto exiting the Containment Isolation (CI-1)Safety Function in OP-902-008. This taskbecomes applicable after ContainmentSpray (CS) is initiated and CS Pump A trips.(OP-902-00 8 , CI-1, 1.c.1)A Loss of Coolant Accident that has occurred insidecontainment and has not been isolated will result inexcess radioactivity leaving containment and beingreleased to the public.(TM-OP-100-03, CT-9)
