SCENARIO OVERVIEW Unit 1 is operating at 100% power, steady state, equilibrium xenon, Boron concentration is 906 ppm. Online risk is green. I C CDlCB pump is 00s for bearing replacement. The I C CD/CB pumps is - expected back in service in four days. Following completion of turnover, the crew is to perform 1BwOS EH- M1, UNIT 1 EH PUMP OPERABILITY MONTHLY SURVEILLANCE. NLOs have been briefed and are standing by at the Unit 1 EH skid. Heavy rains have been experienced at the Braidwood site over the past few days and are forecast to continue.

After completing shift turnover and relief, the BOP will perform lBwOS EH-MI, UNIT 1 EH PUMP OPERABILITY MONTHLY SURVEILLANCE.

After completing 1BwOS EH-MI, the controlling 1D SG pressure channel will fail low. 1 FW540, Feedwater Regulating Valve, will begin to close and 1D SG level will lower. The BOP will take manual control of I D SG level and stabilize 1D SG level. 1BwOA INST-2, OPERATION WITH A FAILED INSTRUMENT CHANNEL, Attachment F, will be implemented. The BOP will restore I D SG level control to automatic after 1D SG level is restored to normal and an operable 1D SG steam flow control channel is selected. Technical specifications 3.3.1, conditions A and D and 3.3.4, condition A apply. NOTE: This event is required for RO candidates ONLY. The malfunction may be omitted at lead examiners discretion if INSTANT SRO candidate is filling BOP position and the malfuwtioQ is not needed to meet the INSTANT SRO candidate’s required transients and event total EG 1021 ES-301-5.

After the SG press en to the intermediate position, resulting in by closing 1 RY8000B, PORV block valve. r from 1 RY8000B. 1 RY456 will remain un ditions A and C apply. After the PZR PORV failure is addressed, Loop 4 T d rod motion. The RO crew will place rod control in manual and take acti OPERATION WITH A FAILED INSTRUMENT CHA Spec 3.3.1, conditions A and E apply.

After the Thot RTD failure is addressed, t PUMP TRIP, Attachme k. The RO will borate the RCS as necessary to stabilize

After the I D CDlCB pump trip 450 gpm Steam Generator Tube Rupture will occur on the CTOR TRIP OR SAFETY INJECTION. When SI actuates,

a solenoid failure will ca ntainment. IA to containment will remain for the remainder of the scenario. Following the reactor trip, the 1B SG

SG PORV when required, resulting in an off-site release. The crew will

manually isolate the 1B S BwEP-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 1 BwCA-3.3, SGTR WITHOUT PRESSURIZER PRESSURE CONTROL.

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

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

2. Cool down to establish RCS subcooling margin, but prevent entry into 1 BwFR-P.1.

3. Terminate high head SI prior to completing step 9 of 1 BwCA-3.3.

SCENARIO OVERVIEW

Unit 1 is operating at 53% power, steady state, equilibrium xenon, Boron concentration is 676.0 ppm. Online risk is yellow. 1B RH pump has been 00s for breaker work for the past 10 hours. LCO 3.5.2 has been entered. Expect 18 RH pump back in 48 hours. Following completion of turnover, the crew is to perform lBwOS FW-M2, TURBINE DRIVEN MAIN FEEDWATER PUMP OIL RESERVOIR HVLO LEVEL ALARM SURVEILLANCE. Power Team has requested Unit 1 prepare to raise power 200 MW at 0.6 MW/min due to grid demand.

After completing shift turnover and relief, the crew will perform lBwOS FW-M2, TURBINE DRIVEN MAIN FEEDWATER PUMP OIL RESERVOIR HllLO LEVEL ALARM SURVEILLANCE..

After completing 1BwOS FW-M2, Power Team will request Unit raise power 200 MW 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, PZR level channel 1LT-459 will fail high. 1CV121, charging header flow control valve, will lower charging flow and pressurizer level will lower. The RO 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 RO will restore PZR level control to automatic after PZR level is restored to normal and an operable PZR level control channel i specifications 3.3.1 conditions A and K apply.

BRAIDWOOD 2007 INITIAL LICENSE EXAM OPERATING OUTLINE COMMENTS

The Importance Factor for WA 2.3.1 1 should be changed from 3.3 to 3.2.

For Event 8, the BOP should not be given credit for a loss of instrument air to containment event.

Source

Admin JPM A (SRO) - Perform Shutdown Margin Calculation

The Importance Factor for KIA 2.3.1 1 was changed from 3.3 to 3.2.

A change was made to not give credit to the BOP for Event 8

Admin JPM C (RO) - Hang Worker Tagout (1A FW Pump)

Admln JPM D (SRO) - Respond to 1PRO3J High Radiatlon Alarm

Scenario NRC 07-1

Comment I Resolution

While an SRO could be expected to perform a Shutdown Margin calculation, it is more job- appropriate (i.e., Content Validity) for the SRO to review and approve completed Shutdown Margin Calculations instead.

Changed JPM to have the SRO candidate review and approve a Shutdown Margin.

1. This JPM should involve more than just hanging 00s cards (e.g., could include incorrect specified sequence of hanging cards and an incorrect position for a component).

2. The Importance Factor for KIA 2.2.13 should be changed from 3.0 to 3.6.

1. Changed JPM to include an incorrect sequence and an incorrect component for the 00s.

2. The Importance Factor for KIA 2.2.13 was changed from 3.0 to 3.6.
