PBN LOI NRC 22E, 2021 NRC Exam Scenario 1, Rev 0 SEG Page 25 of 30 CT-24 Energize at least one AC emergency bus Critical Task:
Energize at least one AC emergency bus prior to placing safeguards equipment switches in pull-out.
Plant Conditions:
Reactor trip Station blackout At least one EDG can be connected to an AC emergency bus Cues:
Indication and/or annunciation that all AC emergency buses are de-energized Bus energized lamps extinguished Circuit breaker position Bus voltage EDG status Performance Indicator:
Manipulation of controls as required to energize at least one ac emergency bus Bus energized lamp(s) illuminated Circuit breaker position lamps indicate closed Bus voltage indication shows nominal voltage present Feedback:
Indication that at least one ac emergency bus is energized Safeguards equipment sequences onto the energized bus EDG status Basis:
SAFETY SIGNIFICANCE -- Failure to energize an ac emergency bus constitutes misoperation or incorrect crew performance in which the crew does not prevent degraded emergency power capacity. Failure to perform the critical task also results in needless degradation of any barrier to fission product release, specifically of the RCS barrier at the point of the RCP seals. In this case, at least one ac emergency bus can be energized from the control room. Failure to perform the critical task means that RCS inventory lost through the RCP seals cannot be replaced. It also means that the RCP seals remain without cooling and gradually deteriorate. As the seals deteriorate the rate of RCS inventory loss increases.

PBN LOI NRC 22E, 2021 NRC Exam Scenario 1, Rev 0 SEG Page 26 of 30 CT-25 Manually start Service Water pump for EDG cooling Critical Task:
Manually start service water pump(s) such that the EDG does not fail due to damage from overheating.
Plant Conditions:
Station blackout with subsequent restoration of ac power from one EDG SW pumps aligned to provide cooling for the running EDG fail to start automatically when the associated ac emergency bus is reenergized by the EDG An SW pump aligned to provide cooling for the running EDG can be started, provided that manual action is taken as necessary All other EDGs inoperable Cues:
Indication and/or annunciation that one ac emergency bus is energized by an EDG
- Circuit breaker position lamps indicate breaker closed
- Bus voltage indication shows nominal voltage present
- EDG status AND Indication and/or annunciation that no SW pump is running
- Control switch indication that the circuit breakers or contactors for all SW pumps are open
- SW header pressure indicator reads < 50 psig Performance Indicator:
Manipulation of controls as required to start the SW pump(s) powered from the ac emergency bus energized by the EDG Control switch indication that the circuit breaker or contactor for a SW pump aligned to supply cooling water to the running EDG is closed Feedback:
Indication and/or annunciation that a SW pump is running, aligned to supply cooling water to the running EDG SW low flow condition clear (G-02 Emerg Diesel Cooler Low Flow alarm clear)
SW low pressure condition clear (SW Header Pressure Low alarm clear)
Basis:
SAFETY SIGNIFICANCE -- Failure to manually start the SW pump under the postulated plant conditions means that the EDG is running without SW cooling. Running the EDG without SW cooling leads to a high-temperature condition that can result in EDG failure due to damage caused by engine overheating. Under the postulated plant conditions, the running EDG is the only operable EDG. Thus, failure to perform the critical task constitutes misoperation or incorrect crew performance in which the crew does not prevent degraded emergency power capacity.

Large-break LOCA Reactor trip SI RCS pressure below the shutoff head of the low-head ECCS pumps Both low-head ECCS pumps fail to automatically start upon SI At least one low-head ECCS pump can be started, provided that manual action is taken as necessary Cues:
Indication and/or annunciation that low-head ECCS pumped injection is required SI actuation RCS pressure below the shutoff head of the low-head ECCS pumps AND Indication and/or annunciation that no low-head ECCS pump is injecting into the core Control switch indication that the circuit breakers or contactors for both low-head ECCS pumps are open All low-head ECCS pump discharge pressure indicators read zero All flow rate indicators for low-head pumped injection read zero Performance Indicator:
Manipulation of controls as required to start at least one low-head ECCS pump Control switch indication that the circuit breaker or contactor for at least one low-head ECCS pump is closed Feedback:
Indication and/or annunciation that at least one low-head ECCS pump is injecting Flow rate indication of injection from at least one low-head ECCS pump Basis:
SAFETY SIGNIFICANCE -- Failure to manually start at least one low-head ECCS pump under the postulated conditions constitutes misoperation or incorrect crew performance in which the crew does not prevent degraded emergency core cooling system (ECCS) capacity. In this case, at least one low-head ECCS pump can be manually started from the control room. Therefore, failure to manually start a low-head ECCS pump also represents a failure by the crew to demonstrate the following abilities:
Effectively direct or manipulate engineered safety feature (ESF) controls that would prevent a significant reduction of safety margin (beyond that irreparably introduced by the scenario)
Recognize a failure or an incorrect automatic actuation of an ESF system or component Additionally, under the postulated plant conditions, failure to manually start a low-head ECCS pump (when it is possible to do so) is a violation of the facility license condition. The acceptable results obtained in the FSAR analysis of a large-break LOCA are predicated on the assumption of minimum ECCS pumped injection. The analysis assumes that a minimum pumped ECCS flow rate, which varies with RCS pressure, is injected into the core. The flow rate values assumed for minimum pumped injection are based on operation of one each of the TR-AA-230-1007-F14, Revision 0
PBN LOI NRC 23E, 2021 NRC Exam Scenario 2, Rev 0 SEG Page 27 of 33 following ECCS pumps: high-head pump, intermediate-head pump, and low-head pump. Operation of this minimum required complement of ECCS injection pumps is consistent with the FSAR assumption that only minimum safeguards are actuated. For both the minimum and maximum cases specified in Comment 1 of this critical task worksheet and for all cases in between, failure to perform the critical task means that the plant is needlessly left in an unanalyzed condition. Performance of the critical task would return the plant to a condition for which analysis shows acceptable results.

Transfer to cold leg recirculation and establish ECCS recirculation flow from at least one train of RHR.
Plant Conditions:
LOCA inside containment RWST level decreases to 34%
Containment recirculation sump level is at or above 38 inches Transfer to cold leg recirculation can be performed manually from switches in the control room Cues:
Indication and/or annunciation that safety injection is actuated AND Indication and/or annunciation that RWST level is at or below 34%
AND Indication that containment sump level is at or above 38 inches Performance Indicator:
Manipulation of controls as required to transfer to cold leg recirculation and establish ECCS recirculation flow that at least meets the assumptions of the plant-specific LOCA analyses:
Valve position indication that the cold leg recirculation flow path is established Control switch indication that the circuit breakers or contactors for the low-head injection pumps are closed Feedback:
Flow indication of the recirculation of containment sump water through the RHR heat exchangers and into the RCS Basis:
The justification for selecting this task as critical can be thoroughly argued only on the basis of plant-specific requirements. A detailed justification cannot be presented on a generic basis because of the following plant-specific variables:
ECCS recirculation-mode alignments Methods for transfer to cold leg recirculation RWST inventory criteria for initiating switchover RWST inventory transfer allowances for completing transfer of injection pumps and spray pumps The plant-specific justification for selecting this task as critical should be argued along one or more of the following lines:
Improper performance or omission by an operator will result in direct adverse consequence(s) or a significant degradation in the mitigative capability of the plant Operation or correct performance prevents a significant reduction of safety margin beyond that irreparably introduced by the scenario Operation or correct performance prevents unnecessary challenges to the following CSFs:
- Core cooling

PBN LOI NRC 25E, 2021 NRC Exam Scenario 4, Rev 0 SEG Page 5 of 32 OVERVIEW / SEQUENCE OF EVENTS OVERVIEW Initial conditions for the scenario are: Unit 1 reactor power is stable at approximately 47% during a plant startup following a short forced outage. Power ascension to 100% is planned for this shift.
Examinees will respond to an inadvertent CVCS letdown isolation. A seismic event causes the running CCW pump to degrade. A second seismic event causes two dropped rods, requiring a reactor trip. Coincident with the reactor trip, a S/G faults inside containment; containment spray will fail to automatically actuate.
The scenario will be terminated when the crew has completed actions through Step 7 of EOP-1.1, SI Termination.
SEQUENCE OF EVENTS Event # Description
- 1. Inadvertent Letdown Isolation Letdown Orifice Isolation valve, 1CV-200A inadvertently closes causing a loss of letdown flow.
The crew will respond per AOP-1D, CVCS Malfunction, to minimize charging flow and restore letdown to service.
- 2. Inadvertent Turbine Trip Without Reactor Trip The Unit 1 Main Turbine will inadvertently trip with reactor power at approximately 47%. The reactor will not trip.
The crew will stabilize the plant per AOP-25, Turbine Trip Without Reactor Trip
- 3. Seismic Event / 1P-11A, CCW Pump Failure A seismic event occurs that results in the mechanical failure of 1P-11A, CCW Pump.
The crew will implement AOP-28, Seismic Event, in response to the Seismic Event.
The crew will respond to the loss of 1P-11A, CCW Pump, per AOP-9B, Component Cooling System Malfunction, to restore CCW system flow.
SRO will address Technical Specifications
- 4. Multiple Dropped Rods A second seismic event causes two rods to drop, requiring a reactor trip.
The crew will respond to AOP-6A, Dropped Rod, to trip the reactor.
- 5. Faulted Steam Generator Coincident with the reactor trip, the A S/G will fault inside containment.
The crew will isolate the faulted S/G per EOP-2, Faulted Steam Generator Isolation.
TR-AA-230-1007-F14, Revision 0
PBN LOI NRC 25E, 2021 NRC Exam Scenario 4, Rev 0 SEG Page 6 of 32
- 6. Containment Spray Fails to Actuate The faulted S/G will cause containment pressure to rise above the containment spray actuation setpoint, but CS will fail to auto actuate.
The crew will respond to manually initiate containment spray per EOP-0, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection.
Terminate the scenario when crew has completed through Step7 of EOP-1.1, SI Termination, or per Lead Evaluator.

Manually actuate at least one train of containment cooling before an extreme (RED path) challenge develops to the containment CSF.
Plant Conditions:
Containment cooling is required but the minimum required complement of containment cooling equipment is not automatically actuated The minimum required complement of containment cooling equipment can be manually actuated from the control room Cues:
Indication and/or annunciation that containment cooling is required Indication and/or annunciation that the minimum required complement of containment cooling equipment is not actuated Performance Indicator:
Manipulation of controls as required to actuate containment cooling equipment Feedback:
Indication and/or annunciation that at least one train of containment cooling equipment is actuated Basis:
SAFETY SIGNIFICANCE -- Failure to manually actuate the minimum required complement of containment cooling equipment under the postulated conditions demonstrates the inability of the crew to recognize a failure or an incorrect automatic actuation of an ESF system or component. that can be manually actuated from the control room. Therefore, failure to manually actuate containment cooling equipment also represents a failure by the crew to demonstrate the ability to effectively direct or manipulate engineered safety feature (ESF) controls that would prevent (degraded emergency core cooling system (ECCS) capacity). Additionally, under the postulated plant conditions, failure to manually actuate containment cooling equipment when it is possible to do so results in a failure to prevent a significant reduction of safety margin beyond that irreparably introduced by the scenario.

Manipulation of controls as required isolating the faulted SG MSIVs indicate closed Indication of feedline isolation o Feedwater control valves indicate closed o Feedline isolation valves indicate closed o Main feed pumps indicate tripped Indication that AFW flow to the faulted SG is stopped o AFW flow control valves for faulted SG indicate closed Feedback:
Any depressurization of intact SGs stops Steam flow indication from faulted SG decreases to zero RCS cooldown stops Main feedwater flow rate indication of zero AFW flow rate indication to faulted SG of zero Basis:
SAFETY SIGNIFICANCE - Failure to isolate a faulted SG that can be isolated causes challenges to CSFs beyond those irreparably introduced by the postulated conditions. Also, depending upon plant conditions, it could constitute a failure by the crew to "demonstrate the ability to recognize a failure or an incorrect automatic actuation of an ESF system or component."
