Page 2 of 17 CPS SIMULATOR EXERCISE GUIDE SCENARIO OUTLINE This scenario guide is used to document Just In Time (Pre-Outage) training for performance of the level control activities needed to remove the vessel head. The scenario also contains a loss of shutdown cooling activity while at reduced inventory. In addition, a RPV bottom head leak is introduced to allow the crew to practice shifting the 'B' RHR loop into LPCI mode to restore RPV inventory in an emergency.
The unit is in Mode 4 with RAT "A',"B"& "C" out of service and RPV level at -+200 inches on the Alternate Shutdown Range instruments. RPV water level is being controlled by Reactor Water Cleanup letdown to Radwaste. RPV level is currently being lowered to -+196 inches in preparation for entering Mode 5. Shutdown cooling loop 'B' is in operation. Removal of RPV Head piping is in progress. '
A turnover to the crew will include an evolution in progress, namely, the lowering of RPV level (currently at -200 inches to a desired level of 196 inches) using RT Reject to Radwaste. Have the crew continue the evolution until the desired RPV level is reached.
Scenario #1 After the turnover the crew will commence lowering RPV water level to a desired level of 196 inches.
When directed by the floor instructor, insert Remote 1 to cause a sudden pressure fault on Emergency Reserve Auxiliary Transformer (ERAT)'. The fault results in ERAT Circuit Switcher 8018 opening and the ERAT de-energize. The crew will send an EO to the 781 relay panels and determines the fault is on the ERAT. Personnel from the field report that the ERAT transformer casing is bulging but there is n6 fire. The Shift Manager will call the OCC to expedite restoration of the Reserve Auxiliary Transformers. In addition, the Division 1 Diesel Generator will trip 5 minutes after starting. The Shift Manager shall classify an Unusual Event per CU1.
Once the crew has re-established shutdown cooling flow, the Shift Manager has completed the NARS form and the crew has started to address RPV level control actions needed to restore level, the simulator will be taken to FREEZE. Have the crew perform a self-critique.
Following the above critique and discussion, reset the simulator per the specific setup; re-execute the simulator lesson plan update the crew on the initial conditions being restored prior to Scenario #1.
Scenario #2 After the crew is in role, the crew will commence lowering RPV water level to a desired level of 196 inches.
When directed by the floor instructor, insert Remote 2 to cause a leak from the RPV bottom head region. RPV Level will begin to lower gradually. Per 4001.01, the crew should enter EOP-1 to restore RPV water level to the desired level. A start of the second Control Rod Drive pump and the securing of Reactor Water cleanup letdown will not be sufficient to reverse the trend of lowering RPV water level. A start of the LPCS pump or RHR Pump 'A' will cause an overcurrent trip of 4.16 KV Bus 1A1. If HPCS is attempted to be used, the HPCS pump will immediately trip when started. 1E12-F042C cannot be opened from the MCR or locally. The crew is expected to perform section 8.1.12 of CPS 3312 .. 01 (RHR) to remove RHR loop 'B' from Shutdown Cooling and place it into LPCI mode to restore RPV water inventory. Note that injection from CD is not available with clearance on both FW 65A & B control switches. Remote 3 is used to re-energize 1E12-F064B when requested during the shift to LPCI mode.
- I During RPV level restoration, the Alternate Shutdown Range instruments will fail downscale due to loss of power from CB MCC 1B (Remote 4). The crew should get assistance from the OCC and challenge any assumptions made on where RPV level really is (THU).

During this period of time, there were several accumulators that had their drain valves open draining. Once recognized, the CRS directed closure of the drain valves stopping the level drop. It was later identified that there was reverse flow through the hydraulic control unit inlet valve, the open scram valve and through the respective HCU drain valve.
\ The cause was determined to be inadequate program controls to prevent the event.
Immediate actions taken:
None- OE review that may be applicable to upcoming outage.
Recommended Actions:
Submit training request to review for incorporation into system review or OE review for upcoming outage.

Page 14 of 17 CPS SIMULATOR EXERCISE GUIDE OPEX OPEX- LER 2011-008 Reactor Protection System Actuation Causes Loss of Shutdown Cooling Abstract:
On 12/18/11, with the plant in Cold Shutdown, following completion of refueling activities, the reactor vessel head was reinstalled and the permanent shutdown / upset level transmitter reference leg piping was re-attached for Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) water level indication. After the RPV pressure test, as RPV water level was being lowered, a Low RPV Water Level 3 signal was received resulting in a loss of shutdown cooling> RPV water level was restored above the Level 3 setpoint using the Control Rod Drive system. Operators reset the logic within minutes of the Low RPV Water Level 3 trip signaf, and shutdown cooling was fully restored in 26 minutes. Reactor coolant temperature incr~ased approximately three degrees Fahrenheit during this event.
The cause of this event was a lack of rigorous process controls while removing and installing the permanent reference leg pipe. Specifically, inadequate instructions existed on how to fill the reference leg and insufficient guidance on how to perform a check c:if the restored instrument. Additional insights include the excessive amount of time (8 hrs) before the reference leg was determined to be full, and a surveillance in progress that disabled three FW narrow range level indications in the MCR.

Description:
On 12/17/2011, the plant was in Mode 4 (Cold Shutdown), the upper pool was drained down after completion of refueling activities and the Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) [ ] head was installed and fully tensioned. The temporary standpipe used for RPV water level indication during refueling activities was being removed and replaced by the permanent reference leg for RPV water level indication. This evolution requires the Main Control Room (MCR) to stabilize RPV water level by matching Control Rod Drive (CRD) system [ ] makeup and Reactor Water Cleanup (RWCU) system [ J reject flow rates as near as possible. At 0515 hours0.00596 days <br />0.143 hours <br />8.515212e-4 weeks <br />1.959575e-4 months <br />, just prior to disconnecting the temporary standpipe, the value from the recorder for RPV water level was 222 inches shutdown range indication. At 0629 hours0.00728 days <br />0.175 hours <br />0.00104 weeks <br />2.393345e-4 months <br />, the MCR was notified that installation of the permanent reference leg piping was completed.
At 0730 hours0.00845 days <br />0.203 hours <br />0.00121 weeks <br />2.77765e-4 months <br />, Maintenance was notified to fill the permanent reference leg. The Maintenance crew was briefed and the applicable sections of the procedure were marked up for the fill and vent evolution. At 0920 hours0.0106 days <br />0.256 hours <br />0.00152 weeks <br />3.5006e-4 months <br />, the first fill evolution was complete and the subsequent MCR check found shutdown level was not as expected for existing plant conditions. Operations requested Maintenance to perform a second fill evolution. At about 1321 hours0.0153 days <br />0.367 hours <br />0.00218 weeks <br />5.026405e-4 months <br />, Maintenance completed the second reference leg fill .and vent evolution, and Operations again questioned the validity of the reactor level indication which was showing a rising trend in RPV water level. The Operations crew had believed actual water level had trended up to match the indicated water 1.evel as correlated by an increase in reactor recirculation pump [ ]
seal [ ] pressures. The MCR requested assistance for restoring RPV level indication from the Outage Control Center (OCC) and the OCC responded that the indicated RP\.l water level seen. by Operations was correct.
Following acceptance of the RPV level indication, at about 1404 hours0.0163 days <br />0.39 hours <br />0.00232 weeks <br />5.34222e-4 months <br />, the Operations crew established a new RPV water level band of 265 to 275 inches per the shutdown range indication in preparation for the RPV pressure test. At
- about 1640 hours0.019 days <br />0.456 hours <br />0.00271 weeks <br />6.2402e-4 months <br />, the RPV pressure test commenced and the RPV was filled, however, unknown to the Operations crew, the shutdown instrument reference leg did not fill with water because the piping configuration slopes down from the condensing pot to the connection with the RPV head piping, and due to air in the reference leg pipe, the reference leg was air bound and did not allow water to flow upwards to the condensing pot, and then down into the partially empty reference leg. r Following completion of the RPV pressure testing, at about 0700 on 12/18/11, Operations set the target RPV water level to be below the Main Steam lines in accordance witti procedure, at a normal Mode 4 level of between 75 inches and 95 inches shutdown range indication, and a Reactor Operator was assigned responsibility for RPV water level and was monitoring RWCU reject rate which was set to achieve an approximately one inch per minute decrease in RPV water level. Operators were monitoring RPV water level on a recorder using the shutdown range RPV water level instrument output, as well as the upset range i~strument.

Page 15 of 17 CPS SIMULATOR EXERCISE GUIDE At about 0930, during the evolution to lower RPV water level, the Low Reactor Water Level 3 trip setpoint was reached which initiated a reactor protection system signal, resulting in closure of the shutdown cooling suction containment isolation valves and a loss of shutdown cooling. All control rods were already fully inserted prior to the Low RPV Water Level 3 trip signal since the reactor was in Mode 4. At the time of the Low RPV Water Level 3 trip signal, the shutdown range instrument read 116 inches and upset range instrument read 145 inches. The other available RPV water level instruments are narrow range and wide range, which all have a maximum range of 60 inches.
Review of computer points following the event found the wide range level instruments came on scale at 59 inches four minutes prior to the Low Reactor Water Level 3 trip, and the wide range instrument read 57 inches when the Low Reactor Water Level 3 trip occurred. The Low Reactor Water Level 3 trip setpoint is 8.9 inches on narrow range level indication.
Following the Low Reactor Water Level 3 trip, the MGR crew completed the immediate and subsequent actions for a reactor scram, entered off-normal procedures for reactor scram, automatic isolation, and loss of shutdown cooling, arid commenced recovery of shutdown cooling. The Low Reactor Water Level 3 condition immediately cleared as the CRD system commenced injecting approximately 200 gallons of water per minute into the RPV. Operators reset the Low Reactor Water Level 3 Isolation signal, allowing operators to reopen the Shutdown Cooling containment isolation valves. Approximately five minutes after the initial Low Reactor Water Level 3 trip, Operations directed an extra Reactor Operator in the control room to obtain readings from the Analog Trip Modules for the transmitters which are used in the Low Reactor Water Level 3 trip and containment isolation logic. At that time, the readings for all four divisions of RPV water level indication were nominally 24 inches and trending up. After the Low Reactor Water Level 3 trip, Operations ordered a rising trend on Shutdown Range and shortly thereafter, provided a level band of 130-150 inches Shutdown Range. At about 0956, operators restored Train A of RHR Shutdown Cooling. During the period of time shutdown cooling was not in service, reactor coolant temperature increased approximately three degrees Fahrenheit.
Following recovery of shutdown cooling, the Operations crew recpgnized that the vessel indicated level was higher than vessel actual level due to an incompletely filled reference leg for the shutdown and upset range instruments.
Maintenance was contacted to re-perform the fill of the shutdown level reference leg. After the permanent reference leg fill was completed at 1253 hours0.0145 days <br />0.348 hours <br />0.00207 weeks <br />4.767665e-4 months <br />, RPV shutdown level indication lowered 110 inches from 195 inches to 86 inches as indicated on the shutdown instrument. This was determined to be the amount of level error due to the initial incompletely filled reference leg.
