2. The point total for each group and tier in the proposed outline must match that specified in the table.

The final point total for each group and tier may deviate by +/-1 from that specified in the table based on NRC revisions. The final RO exam must total 75 points and the SRO-only exam must total 25 points.

3. Systems/evolutions within each group are identified on the associated outline; systems or evolutions that do not apply at the facility should be deleted and justified; operationally important, site-specific systems that are not included on the outline should be added. Refer to Section D.1.b of ES-401 for guidance regarding the elimination of inappropriate KIA statements.
4. Select topics from as many systems and evolutions as possible; sample every system or evolution in the group before selecting a second topic for any system or evolution.
5. Absent a plant-specific priority, only those KlAs having an importance rating (IR) of 2.5 or higher shall be selected.

Use the RO and SRO ratings for the RO and SRO-only portions, respectively.

6. Select SRO topics for Tiers 1 and 2 from the shaded systems and KIA categories.

7.* The generiC (G) KlAs in Tiers 1 and 2 shall be selected from Section 2 of the KIA Catalog, but the topics must be relevant to the applicable evolution or system. Refer to Section D.1.b of ES-401 for the applicable KlAs.

SCENARIO OVERVIEW

  • Unit 1 is at 75% power, steady state, equilibrium xenon, MOL. Online risk is green. 1B CW PP is OOS for intake bay inspection. Following completion of turnover, the shift manager requests the BOP to swap GC pumps per BwOP GC-5, in preparation for an OOS on 1GC01 PA next shift. TSO has requested Unit 1 prepare to raise turbine load to full power at 0.6 MW/min due to grid demand.

After completing shift turnover and relief, the BOP will swap stator cooling pumps per BwOP GC-5.

After swapping stator cooling pumps, Power Team will request Unit raise turbine load to full power at 0.6 MW/min due to grid demand. The crew will commence a power ascension at 0.6 mw/min.

After a measurable change in power, feedwater line pressure detector 1PT-508 will fail high over a 30 second period. Both main feedwater pumps speed will lower, reducing feedwater flow and causing all steam generator levels to begin lowering. The crew will take actions to stabilize the plant by taking manual control of the main feedwater pumps. 1BwOA INST-2, OPERATION WITH A FAILED INSTRUMENT CHANNEL, Attachment J, will be implemented. 1PT-508 will remain unavailable for the remainder of the scenario.

After the 1PT-508 failure is addressed, PZR PORV 1RY455A will open to the intermediate position, resulting in a slow RCS pressure drop. The ATC will isolate the PZR PORV by closing 1RY8000A, PORV block valve. Once 1RY8000A is closed, its breaker will trip open, removing power from 1 RY8000A.

1RY455A will remain unavailable for the remainder of the scenario. Tech spec 3.4.11, conditions Band C apply.

After the PZR PORV failure is addressed, a 10$s of instrument bus 114 will occur. The crew will enter

  • 1BwOA ELEC-2. LOSS OF INSTRUMENT BUS, and determine that instrument bus 114 is damaged and cannot be energized from the CVT.

After the instrument bus 114 failure is addressed, bus 143 is lost causing the loss of 1A and 1C CW pumps. Condenser vacuum is lost and a manual reactor trip or an automatic turbine trip - reactor trip signal is generated. The turbine trips but the reactor does not trip, placing the plant in an ATWS condition.

1BwEP-O is entered with a transition to 1BwFR S-1. A failure of rod control to automatically insert rods at ~

48 steps/minute forces the Unit NSO to manually insert control rods. The RWST will be used as the borated water source since the BA transfer pump has lost power. RCS pressure rises and PZR PORV 1RY456 opens to reduce pressure.

Although RCS pressure starts dropping, PZR PORV 1RY456 remains open creating a loss of reactor coolant. 1BwFR-S.1 is completed and 1BwEP-O is reentered with a failure of high head injection valves (lSI8801A1B) and charging line Cnmt isolation valves (1CV81 05/6) to automatically reposition. The crew will take action to manually open 1S18801A1B and close 1CV8105/6.

Completion criteria is transition to 1BwEP ES-1.2.

LCOAR 1BwOL 3.7.8 has been initiated. Expected back in service next shift. Following completion of turnover, the crew is to perform 1BwOS FW-W1, UNIT 1 TURBINE DRIVEN MAIN FEEDWATER PUMP STOP VALVE SURVEILLANCE. Power Team has requested Unit 1 lower power 125 MW at 3 MWImin due to grid demand following completion of 1BwOS FW-Wl. Heavy rains have been experienced at the Braidwood site over the past few days and are forecasted to continue.

After completing shift turnover and relief, the crew will perform 1BwOS FW-Wl, UNIT 1 TURBINE DRIVEN MAIN FEEDWATER PUMP STOP VALVE SURVEILLANCE.

After completing 1BwOS FW-W1, the crew will lower power to 1125 MW at 3 MWImin due to grid demand. The crew will commence a power reduction at 3 MW/min.

After a measurable change in power, 1B CV pump will trip. The crew will implement 1BwOA PRI-15, LOSS OF NORMAL CHARGING. The crew will start the 1A CV pump to restore normal charging.

Technical Specifications 3.5.2 condition A and TRM 3.l.d, condition A apply.

After the 1 B CV pump trip is addressed, First Stage Turbine Impulse Pressure channell PT-505 will fail low. The ATC will diagnose the failure of 1PT-505 and take manual control of rods after verifying turbine load stable. 1BwOA INST-2, OPERATION WITH A FAILED INSTRUMENT CHANNEL, Attachment D, will be entered. TS 3.3.1 conditions A and P will be entered. The ATC will return rod control to automatic after verifying Tave and Tref are within 1°F.

  • After the 1PT-505 failure is addressed, thelC Heater Drain pump will trip due to overcurrent. The crew will implement 1BwOA SEC-1, SECONDARY PUMP TRI p. and start the 1B Heater Drain pump. Technical Specifications do not apply. On-line risk remains yellow. The 1C Heater Drain pump will remain unavailable for the rest of the scenariO.

After the 1C Heater Drain pump has been addressed, steam line pressure detector 1PT-507 will fail low over a 30 second period. Beth mrun feedwater pumps speed will lower, reducing feedwater flow and causing all steam generator levels to begin lowering. The crew will take actions to stabilize the plant by taking manual control of the main feedwater pumps. 1BwOA INST-2, OPERATION WITH A FAILED INSTRUMENT CHANNEL. Attachment J, will be implemented. 1PT-507 will remain unavailable for the remainder of the scenario. On-line risk remains yellow.

After the 1PT-507 failure is addressed, a loss of all offsite power will occur for both Units. When the 1A DG engine attempts to start, the engine will seize. A loss of DC control power to the 1B DG will prevent it from starting, resulting in a loss of all AC power to Unit 1. TranSition will be made to 1BwCA-O.O, LOSS OF ALL AC POWER. The 1C MSIV will fail to close from either MSI switch and will have to be closed from the CIS. A limited crosstie to Unit 2 will be required due to the failure of 2B DG to energize bus 142. The crew must restore power to Unit 1 within 10 minutes. After power is restored to Bus 141, SX will be cross-tied between units per 1BwCA-O.O, Attachment C.

The scenario is complete when the crew has restored CV pump flow in 1BwCA-O.O, step 23e.

.risk is green.

After completing shift turnover and relief, the BOP will lower Unit 1 reactive load 1 KV in accordance with BwOP MP-23.

After lowering reactive load, a grid disturbance will cause 345 KV lines 0103 and 0104 to be lost. One minute later, the Transmission System Operations Reliability Coordinator will contact the main control room and direct Unit 1 to initiate an emergency load reduction of 100 MW within 20 minutes to alleviate an overload condition on grid transmission lines. The state estimator alarm is not present.

During the initial boric acid addition, 1CV110B valve will fail closed (blown fuse), forcing the crew to complete the load ramp with control rods only.

After the load ramp is complete, HOT Level Controller, 1LK-H0009A, will fail to 100% demand. The 1HD046A1B valves will full open and HDT level will drop. The BOP will take actions to stabilize the plant by taking manual control of the 1LK-HD009A.

After the HDT Level Controller failure is addressed, a loss of DC to instrument inverter 113 will occur. The crew will follow the annunciator response BwAR 1-4-C5. The crew will determine from field report that the instrument inverter DC input has failed. Technical Specification 3.B.7, condition A applies. On line risk becomes yellow.

Following completion of inverter 113 actions" a ground fault will occur on bus 141. 1BwOA ELEC-3 will be

. entered and the operators will start redundant equipment on bus 142 and investigate the status of bus 141 .

  • Tech 5pec 3.B.9 applies. On-line risk becomes yellow.

Following completion of 1BwOA ELEC-3actions, an inadvertent FWI occurs. When the crew manually trips the reactor, a feed line break on the 1C 5G inside containment will occur. 51 will actuate. The crew will enter 1BwEP-O to stabilize the plant The 1B 51 pump fails to auto start and must be manually started due to a failure of its actuation relay. The 1B AF pump will not start (engine will seize) resulting in a transition to 1BwFR-H.1 at step 15 of 1BwEP-O. The 1B CV pump trips when the reactor trips. Bleed and feed will be required due to the status of the CV pumps.

Completion criteria is establishing startup feedwater pump flow to the non-faulted 5Gs.

  • SCENARIO OVERVIEW Unit 1 is operating at 100% power, steady state, equilibrium xenon. Online risk is green. 1C CD/CB pump is OOS for bearing replacement. The 1C CD/CB pump is expected back in service in four days. Following completion of turnover, the crew is to perform 1BwOS MS-Q1, UNIT 1 MAIN STEAM DUMP VALVE STROKE SURVEILLANCE.

After completing shift turnover and relief, the BOP will perform 1BwOS MS*Q1, UNIT 1 MAIN STEAM DUMP VALVE STROKE SURVEILLANCE.

After completing 1BwOS MS-Q1, 1FW540 Feed Reg Valve Controller 1FK-540 will fail to 100% demand.

The 1 FW540 valve will full open and 1D SG level will rise. The crew will take actions to stabilize the plant by taking manual control of the 1FK-540.

After the 1FK*540 failure is addressed, the rod control summing amplifier will malfunction, resulting in uncontrolled inward rod motion. After checking turbine power stable, the RO will place rod control in Manual to stop the inward rod motion. 1BwOA ROD-1, UNCONTROLLED ROD MOTION, will be implemented. Rods will remain in Manual control for the remainder of the scenario.

After the rod control failure has been addressed, the 1A Essential Service Water pump will trip due to overcurrent. The crew will implement 1BwOA PRI-S, ESSENTIAL SERVICE WATER MALFUNCTION, and start the 1B Essential Service Water pump. Technical Specifications 3.7.S, condition A applies. On-line risk remains yellow. The 1A SX pump will remain unavailable for the rest of the scenario.

After the Essential Service Water malfunction has been addressed, the controlling pressurizer pressure

  • channel will fail high. The ATC will identify the failure and take manual control to restore pressurizer pressure. The US will enter 1BwOA INST 2, OPERATION WITH A FAILED INSTRUMENT CHANNEL Attachment B. Tech Specs 3.3.1 conditions A, E, and K, 3.3.2 conditions A and 0, and 3.3.4 condition A will be entered.

After the pressurizer pressure channel failure has been addressed, the #4 turbine governor valve servo will fail, causing the #4 governor valve to close. Turbine load will lower approximately 70 Mw. The ATC will borate the RCS as necessary andlor move rods in to stabilize RCS temperature. On-line risk remains yellow.

After the governor valve malfunction has been addressed, a 450 gpm Steam Generator Tube Rupture will occur on the 1B SG. The crew will implement 1BwEP-O, REACTOR TRIP OR SAFETY INJECTION.

When SI actuates, a solenoid failure will cause 11A066 to fail closed, resulting a loss of Instrument Air to containment. IA to containment will remain unavailable for the remainder of the scenario. The crew will transition to 1BwEP-3, STEAM GENERATOR TUBE RUPTURE, based on secondary radiation trends on the 1B SG. After determining RCS pressure control is unavailable, the crew will transition to 1BwCA-3.3, SGTR WITHOUT PRESSURIZER PRESSURE CONTROL.

The scenario is complete when the crew has terminated high head SI in 1BwCA-3.3.

Critical Tasks

1. Isolate feedwater flow into and steam flow from the ruptured SG prior to completing step 4 of 1BwEP-3.

(ERG Critical Task number - E-3--A) (KIA number - 00003SEA2.01 importance - 4.1/4.7)

2. Cool down to establish RCS subcooling margin, but prevent entry into 1BwFR-P.1.
  • (ERG Critical Task number - E-3--B) (KIA number - 0OO03SEA1.36 importance - 4.3/4.5)
3. Terminate high head SI prior to completing step 9 of 1BwCA-3.3.

(ERG Critical Task number - CA-3.3--A) (KIA number - 00003SEA 1.30 importance - 4.0/3.S)

NOTE:

~o normal, reactivity, IIC, Tech Spec or Major events in this scenario are repeated on the 2011 Audit Exam

. , o r other sections of the 2011 NRC exam.

A similar IIC event (SGTR) is included on the 11-3 Audit Exam scenario, however this event is different because this event is a SGTR combined with a loss of RCS pressure control while the 11-3 Audit Exam scenario contains a SGTR that is also faulted .

  • SCENARIO OVERVIEW

_he unit is at 17% power, xenon building in, BOL, at 1BwGP 100-3 step 22. The main Turbine is at 1775 rpm ready for turbine trip test. Online risk is green. Following completion of turnover, the Shift Manager directs the crew to perform 1BwGP 100-3, step F.22.a through F.22.p, turbine trip test. 1BwOS TRM 3.3.g.3 and 3.3.g.4 will be performed concurrently by another operator who has also been briefed to take over at step F.22 q. for the turbine synchronization.

After completing shift turnover and relief, the BOP will perform the turbine trip test per 1BwGP 100-3, step F.22.a thru F.22.p.

After the turbine trip test is complete, letdown pressure controller 1PK-131 output will fail high. The letdown PCV will close and letdown pressure will rise lifting the letdown line relief valve. The ATC will take manual control of letdown pressure controller and restore letdown pressure. The crew may isolate letdown due to the lifting letdown relief valve. If letdown is isolated, it will be restored per BwOP CV-17. US may choose to enter tech spec 3.4.13 and then exit when relief resets, or remain in tech spec until aRCS leakrate can verify no leakage.

After the 1 PK-131 failure is addressed, 1C SG NR level transmitter 1LT-539 will fail low. 1FW530A, Feedwater Regulating Bypass Valve, will open fully and 1C SG level will rise. The BOP will take manual control of 1C SG level and stabilize 1C SG level. 1BwOA INST-2, OPERATION WITH A FAILED INSTRUMENT CHANNEL, Attachment E, will be implemented. The BOP will restore 1C SG level control to automatic after 1C SG level is restored to normal and an operable 1C SG NR level contrOlling channel is selected. Technical specifications 3.3.1, conditions A and E and 3.3.2, conditions A and D are applicable.

  • After the 1 LT-539 failure is addressed, the 1A component cooling water pump will trip. When the 1A CC pump trips, the 1Band 0 CC pumps will not automatically start on low system discharge pressure due the 1B CC pump discharge pressure switch being failed high. The crew will manually start a standby CC pump, either the 1B or 0 CC pump, to restore system flow and dispatch operators to investigate the malfunctions.

If the 1A CC pump control switch is placed in PTL prior to manually starting a standby pump, the U-O CC pump will automatically start. Technical specification 3.7.7, condition B applies until the 1A CC pump is placed in PTL (U-O CC pump then becomes operable).

After the 1A CC pump trip is addressed, the 1D MS line ruptures inside containment. While performing the actions of 1BwEP-O, the crew should note the failure of a Phase A slave relay and manually align valves to close the WO containment penetrations. When containment pressure reaches 20 psig, Phase B actuates but the CS pumps do not start. The crew should manually realign the train A CS valves, which will start the 1A CS pump. Operators should transition to 1BwEP-2 and recognize that the MSIVs have failed to close and that an uncontrolled depressurization of all SGs is in progress. The crew should transition to 1BwCA-2.1 where they will throttle AF flow to the SGs, terminate SI and restore normal charging and letdown. An entry into 1BwFR-P.1 may be required as directed by the status trees.

Completion criteria is checking RCS subcooling per step 21 in 1BwCA-2.1 or completion of 1BwFR-P.1, step 21.

Critical Tasks

1. Manually actuate one train of containment spray prior to transition out of 1BwEP-O.

(ERG Critical Task number - E-O--E) (KIA number - 013000A4.01, importance - 4.5/4.8)

2. Manually lower AF flow to 45 gpm for each SG prior to completion of step 2 of 1BwCA-2.1.

  • SCENARIO OVERVIEW
  • Unit 1 is at 75% power, steady state, equilibrium xenon, MOL. RCS boron concentration is 645 ppm.

Online risk is green. 1B HD pump has been OOS for breaker contact work for the past 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br />. 1A CW pump is OOS for impeller work. Expected back in service in one week. 1PR11J filter change planned early in shift.

After completing shift turnover and relief, a Radiation Protection Technician will contact the main control room and request the crew shutdown 1PR11J sample pump to support daily filter replacement. The Unit Supervisor will enter Tech Spec 3.4.15, condition B. Approximately two minutes later, the RP Technician will request restart of the 1PR11J skid. 1PR11J will be restarted. LCO 3.4.15 may be exited after filter change completion and monitor is operating normally for 15 minutes.

After changing the 1PR11J filter, 1A Heater Drain Pump will trip. 1BwOA SEC-1, SECONDARY PUMP TRIP, Attachment C, will be entered. The BOP will initiate a turbine load reduction to 780 MW at 20 MW/minute. The ATC will borate the RCS as necessary to stabilize RCS temperature.

After the 1A HD pump trip has been addressed, PZR level channellLT-459 will fail high. 1CV121, charging header flow control valve, will lower charging flow and pressurizer level will lower. The ATC will take manual control of PZR level and stabilize PZR level. 1BwOA INST-2, OPERATION WITH A FAILED INSTRUMENT CHANNEL, Attachment C, will be implemented. The ATC will restore PZR level control to automatic after PZR level is restored to normal and an operable PZR level control channel is selected.

Technical Specifications 3.3.1, conditions A and K apply.

After the 1 LT-459 failure is addressed, the 1A letdown heat exchanger will develop a tube leak. Letdown flow and VCT level will lower and CC surge tank level and radiation will rise. The crew will implement

  • 1BwOA PRI-6, COMPONENT COOLING SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, and locate and isolate the leakage.

The crew will align the 1B letdown heat exchanger in accordance with BwOP CV-22, OPERATION OF LETDOWN AND REGEN HEAT EXCHANGERS.

After the letdown heat exchanger tube is addressed, the generator voltage regulator output will fail high, causing the main generator to be overexcited. The BOP will turn the voltage regulator to off/test and manually lower main generator excitation using the base adjuster.

After the voltage regulator failure is addressed, a weld breaks on the PZR causing a PZR vapor space LOCA. When the reactor trips, the turbine will not automatically trip. The crew will manually trip the turbine.

The crew will take actions;n accordance with 1BwEP-O, REACTOR TRIP OR SAFETY INJECTION. While performing the actions of 1BwEP-O, the crew should note the failure of SI to automatically actuate. The crew should manually actuate SI. The crew will transition to 1BwEP-1, LOSS OF REACTOR OR SECONDARY COOLANT, after determining that the RCS is not intact.

The scenario is complete when the crew has determined RCS subcooling in 1BwEP-1.
