Brunswick 2008 NRC Scenario 1 Page 2 0'26 SCENARIO DESCRIPTION Unit 2 is operating at maximum power, End Of Cycle.
Event 1 - Direction in the turnover has the crew remove the A condensate pump from service which requires a power reduction to less than 92% power in accordance with ENP-24.
Event 2 - Swap condensate pumps in accordance with 20P-32.
Event 3 - 2XB will fail. The crew will respond per APPs and refer to TS to declare RHR BLoop inoperable (3.5.1 Action A) and PCIV's 3.6.1.3 Action A (8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> to isolate the affect flowpath) and B (2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> to isolate the affected flowpath).
Event 4 - Level transmitter C32-LT-N004A will fail downscale. Refer to Tech Spec and determine must be tripped in 7 days (3.3.2.2 and TRM Table 3.3.2.2-1). Crew should select level instrument B per 20P-32.
Event 5 - The B TBCCW pump will trip. AOP-17 should be entered and the standby pump started to recover system pressure.
Event 6/7/8 - The main turbine lube oil controller will fail closed causing the lube oil to heat up and vibrations to occur on the main turbine. This will require the main turbine to be tripped and the reactor to be scrammed. Most control rods will fail to insert on the scram. The crew will respond to the ATWS per EOP-01-LPC. When the scram occurs, the running EHC pump will trip and the standby EHC pump will also trip.
Event 9 - When SLC initiation is attempted, neither SLC pump will start due to switch failure.
The crew will enter LEP-03 and align for alternate boron injection using CRD.
Event 10 - When scram jumpers are installed the scram discharge vents and drains will fail to open which will result in inability to insert control rods by resetting RPS and inserting additional manual scrams.
Event 11 - Suppression pool temperature will rise requiring entry into EOP-02-PCCP and lowering water level per LPC Table 3. When RPV level is lowered to TAF, reactor power will still be above the APRM downscale set point. Suppression pool cooling is required due to elevated suppression pool temperature. Suppression pool cooling is limited to RHR A. The E11-F024A will initially trip on thermal overload when opened. If the crew requests, the thermal overload can be reset and the valve can then be opened, after actions are taken to reduce reactor pressure.
Event 12 - Suppression pool temperature will continue to rise, and eventually approach the Heat Capacity Temperature Limit. Reactor pressure can be reduced per the guidance of LPC pressure leg to maintain (and actually gain) margin to the HCTL. Otherwise Emergency Depressurization will be required. When pressure has been lowered to avoid HCTL, the scram discharge volume vents and drains will be repaired. Control rods can then be inserted by manual scram. When level is restored above TAF, RHR Loop A placed in suppression pool cooling. When all control rods are inserted and suppression pool cooling initiated, the scenario may be terminated.

SCENARIO DESCRIPTION Following shift turnover the BOP operator will place the second reactor feed pump in service.
When the second reactor feed pump is in service, the RO will be directed to raise reactor power to 70% using recirc. per the nuclear engineers direction.
A fully withdrawn control rod will drift full in. The crew will enter AOP-2.0 Control Rod Malfunction/Misposition. AOP-2.0 will direct response per 2APP-A-05 (3-2) ROD DRIFT.
An inadvertent RCIC initiation will occur. The crew will respond by verifying no initiation signal is present and tripping RCIC. If injection occurs, crew will enter AOP-3.0 Positive Reactivity Addition.
The running CRD pump will trip. The crew should respond by placing the STBY CRD pump in service in accordance with OP-8.0.
Power to the Main Stack Radiation Monitor will be lost resulting in a Gp. 6 Isolation.
SBGT system will fail to start as required. The crew must diagnose the failure of SBGT and start manually to maintain secondary containment integrity.
A main steam line leak inside primary containment will cause drywell pressure and temperature to rise. The crew may scram the reactor before 1.7 psig or an auto scram will occur. The crew will enter RVCP and PCCP.
Five control rods will fail to insert during the scram requiring entry into LlPC.
Containment parameters will worsen requiring drywell and torus sprays. A combination of failures will prevent drywell sprays from occurring.
Drywell temperature will approach or exceed 300F with no drywell sprays available.
SRO will direct an Emergency depressurization from LPC. This will require termination and prevention of injection to the reactor prior to opening ADS valves.
With 7 ADS valves open, the crew will inject to the reactor once reactor pressure is less than 120 psig. When injection has been restored to the vessel and level is being maintained above 170 inches the scenario will end.
