The operator will be told that Unit 1 is performing a plant shutdown and cooldown to Mode 5, that the plant is currently at 345°F and 600 psig, that the crew has entered AP/1/A/5500/12, Loss of Letdown, Charging or Seal Injection, due to a loss of Normal Letdown, and that it is not expected that the crew will be able to re-establish Normal Letdown without corrective maintenance. The operator will be directed to establish Excess Letdown per AP/1/A/5500/12 starting with Step 52, and maintain Pressurizer level between 85-96%. While establishing Excess Letdown the operator will discover that Excess Letdown cannot be placed in service due to a failure (Alternate NUREG-1021, Revision 10

ES-301 Control Room/In-Plant Systems Outline Form ES-301-2 (REV_031516)

Path). The operator will be expected to attempt to place Excess Letdown in service in accordance with Step 52 of AP/1/A/55/12; and then after recognizing that Excess Letdown cannot be placed in service, establish letdown to the PRT using the Rx Head Vessel Vents in accordance with Step 53 of AP/1/A/5500/12 and maintain Pressurizer level between 85-96%.

The operator will be expected to remove the A, B and D Pzr Heater Groups from service in accordance with the Enclosure. After the Pzr Pressure Master has been placed in MANUAL and its output has been adjusted, the Pzr Variable Heaters (Group C) will fail (Alternate Path). The operator will be required to respond to MCB Annunciator 1AD6/D6 (PZR HTR CONTROLLER TROUBLE), and manually control pressure using the other heater groups. The operator will be expected to place at least one Pzr Heater Group in service in accordance with Step 3.3.1 (or equivalent) of Enclosure 4.6.

JPM E This is a Bank JPM. The operator will be told that Unit 1 has tripped from 100% power due to a Loss of Off-Site Power, that the crew is currently implementing EP/1/A/5000/ES-0.2 (Natural Circulation Cooldown), and is currently at Step 15; and that Normal Letdown is in service. The operator will be directed to perform Step 15 of ES-0.2, depressurizing the NC system to 1905 PSIG using aux spray per Generic Enclosures, Enclosure 3 (Establishing NV Aux Spray). The operator will be expected to place Auxiliary Spray in service and lower Pzr Pressure to 2030 psig; and after diagnosing a loss of Normal Letdown (Alternate Path) immediately remove Aux Spray from service.

JPM F This is a Bank JPM. The operator will be told that Unit 1 is operating at 100% power, that Unit 1 VE System is aligned for Engineered Safeguards Operation, and that PT/1/A/4450/003 A (Annulus Ventilation System Train 'A' Operability Test) is on the Operations schedule for today. The operator will be directed to perform PT/1/A/4450/003 A (Annulus Ventilation System Train 'A' Operability Test).

The operator will be directed to restore power to the 6900V buses starting with Step 43.q of AP/1/A/5500/07 (Loss of Electrical Power), Case I (Loss of Normal Power to 1ETA and 1ETB) using the Normal Supply breakers. The operator will be expected to re-energize all four 6900V Buses per AP/1/A/5500/07 Steps 43.q-r.3.

JPM H This is a Bank JPM. The operator will be told that there is massive flooding in the Turbine Building and that the crew has implemented AP/0/A/5500/44 (Plant Flooding), Enclosure 1 (Unit 1 Turbine Bldg Flooding).

The operator will be told that a loss of control room has occurred, that AP/2/A/5500/17 (Loss Of Control Room) has been implemented and is complete through step 10.b, that the operator has been dispatched to standby at the Unit 2 Main Turbine, and that communications have been established between them and the SRO at the Unit 2 Aux. Shutdown panel. The operator will be directed to perform the local actions of Step 10.c.1-3 of AP/1/A/550/17 Loss of Control Room). The operator will be expected to trip the Unit 2 Main Turbine locally, and trip any of the available "trip" mechanisms on both FWPT's such that 2SP-1 and 2SP-2 are closed.

JPM K This is a Bank JPM. The operator will be told that Unit 2 was at 100% power when a Boron dilution event occurred, that AP/2/A/5500/38 (Emergency Boration and Response to Inadvertent Dilution) was entered, and that while attempting to open 2NV-265B (Boric Acid To NV Pumps), the RO discovered that 2NV-265B was de-energized. The operator will be directed to emergency borate the NC System by performing Step 12.d RNO of AP/2/A/5500/38. The operator will be expected to attempt to open 2NV-265B, and when this fails open 2NV-269 within ten (10) minutes of dispatch. This is a Time Critical JPM.

2. Enter the level of difficulty (LOD) of each question a 1(easy) to 5 ( difficult); (questions with a difficulty between 2 and 4 are acceptable)
3. Check the appropriate box if a psychometric flaw is identified:
  • Stem Focus: The stem lacks sufficient focus to elicit the correct answer (e.g., unclear intent, more information is needed, or too much needless information).
  • Cues: The stem or distractors contain cues (i.e., clues, specific determiners, phrasing, length, etc.).
  • T/F: The answer choices are a collection of unrelated true/false statements.
  • Cred. Dist: The distractors are not credible; single implausible distractors should be repaired, more than one is unacceptable.
  • Partial: One or more distractors is (are) partially correct (e.g., if the applicant can make unstated assumptions that are not contradicted by stem).
4. Check the appropriate box if a job content error is identified:
  • Job Link: The question is not linked to the job requirements (i.e., the question has a valid K/A but, as written, is not operational in content).
  • Minutia: The question requires the recall of knowledge that is too specific for the closed reference test mode (i.e., it is not required to be known from memory).
  • # / Units: The question contains data with an unrealistic level of accuracy or inconsistent units (e.g., panel meter in percent with question in gallons).
  • Backward: The question requires reverse logic or application compared to the job requirements.
5. Check questions that are sampled for conformance with the approved K/A and those K/As that are designated SRO-only (K/A and license level mismatches are unacceptable)

Im not certain why you state that ECA-1.1 would not direct going to recirc.

The way this is written, A is potentially not incorrect.

If the valve manually failed, it could be in this position. I agree it is not the best answer, but not 26 H 3 X X B S incorrect. If challenged, I would probably have to accept it as correct.

It seems that it would be logical to declare the pump inoperable when closing either valve. It would be nice to be able to test the TS knowledge that this surveillance is not applicable below 10% RTP.

However, procedurally you have to declare the pump inoperable no matter what the power level is.
