NRC Initial License Exam, Scenario #1 SEG

2. IF the reactor is shutdown under all conditions,

THEN crew actions must be taken to restore and maintain RPV level for adequate core cooling.

(> -25" or -39")

Safety Significance:

Adequate core cooling is defined by EOPs as either:

• Core submergence (+15")

• Steam cooling with injection of makeup water to the RPV (-25")

• Required ECCS injection with RPV level above 2/3 core height (-39")

Cue: RPV level will drop to <+15" and automatic system response will not restore RPV level for adequate core cooling.

Performance Standard:

If the crew performs actions that restore and maintain RPV level above +15”, this critical task should be considered satisfactory because the crew has anticipated the potential loss of core cooling.

If one CS is operating at 3000 gpm and another ECCS pump is injecting, RPV water level must be restored and maintained above -39". This would normally be expected after an Emergency RPV Depressurization.

If ECCS is not injecting (less than 1 CS at 3000 gpm and another ECCS pump injecting), RPV water level must be restored and maintained above -25". This may be expected after an emergency RPV depressurization with ECCS problems

Progression is to be made by the crew to use all available systems to restore RPV level above the directed level (-25" or -39"). Satisfactory performance of this CT does not require completion of starting all available systems if RPV level is restored above the directed level (-25" or -39").

If RPV injection is secured and RPV level is below +15" but above -25", the critical task is met, although remediation may be required.

Feedback: Lowest valid RPV water level indicator is being maintained above directed value.

EOP step(s): RC/L-10, L-11, L-12

BWROG: RPV-1.2 (1.2 is only after RPV pressure is lowered)

NRC Initial License Exam, Scenario #1 SEG

1. IF the reactor is shutdown under all conditions and

RPV level drops to +15”, THEN perform Emergency RPV Depressurization before RPV level reaches -25".

Safety Significance:

If the lowering RPV water level trend had not been reversed before RPV level drops to +15", emergency RPV depressurization should be performed prior to RPV level reaching -25". The consequence of not depressurizing the RPV when level is below -25" is a loss of adequate core cooling. Depressurizing prematurely may unnecessarily cause unneeded stress on the RPV and piping.

Cue: RPV level lowered to +15".

Performance Standard:

The crew must “Initiate” emergency RPV depressurization after the lowest valid level indication shows <+15" and prior to the lowest valid level indicates -25".

The critical task is not satisfactory if the actions for “Emergency RPV Depressurization” are not complete. (See definitions)

Feedback: RPV pressure is rapidly lowering.

EOP step(s): RC/L-4, L-7, L-8

BWROG: RPV 1.1

NRC Initial License Exam, Scenario #1 SEG

22. BEFORE drywell temperature reaches 280°F and

WHILE in the safe region of the DWSIL, THEN initiate drywell sprays.

Safety Significance:

If DW sprays were initiated when in the shaded area of the DWSIL, this could lead to an evaporative cooling pressure drop which could result in:

• Deinerting the containment or containment negative pressures below design.

OR • Drywell-below-torus differential pressure beyond design.

Operation of DW sprays if DW temperature cannot be maintained below 280°F, will ensure that the design temperatures of the components within the DW are not exceeded.

If DW sprays are not utilized when available, the next EOP actions will be to Emergency RPV Depressurize, which will lower the amount of ambient heat to the DW, but will cause additional pressure/temperature stress on the RPV.

Cue: DW temperature is rising and is below 280°F.

Average DW temperature and DW pressure conditions allow DW spray per the DWSIL curve

Performance Standard:

DW sprays are initiated on at least one side of RHR prior to 280°F DW temperature.

If DW sprays are initiated while in the shaded area of the Drywell Spray Initiation Limit (DWSIL), this would be a critical task failure.

If the crew does not secure Recirculation pumps prior to initiating DW sprays, the critical task is considered satisfactory although remediation may be required.

Feedback: DW spray flow initiated and DW temperature is lowering.

EOP step(s): DW/T-4, -5

4. IF a scram is required and

Reactor power is above 5%, THEN reduce power below 5% using one or more of the following methods:

• Manual scram signal • Inserting control rods using RIPs. • Manual ARI signal • Injection of Boron

Safety Significance:

The UFSAR and Safety Limits ensure that specified acceptable fuel design limits are not exceeded during steady state operation, normal operational transients and abnormal operational transients. The fuel cladding integrity safety limit is set such that no significant fuel damage is calculated to occur if the limit is not violated. The fuel cladding is one of the physical barriers that separate the radioactive materials from the environs. The MCPR fuel cladding safety limit ensures that during normal operations and abnormal transients the fuel rods will not experience transition boiling and possible cladding damage. The MCPR analysis assumes that the control rods will insert in a specified time. If the control rods do not insert when a scram is required, the plant is beyond the fuel cladding MCPR analysis thus the fuel cladding safety limit is challenged and potential cladding damage may be occurring.

Cue: A manual or automatic scram signal has been inserted and failed to lower reactor power below 5%.

Performance Standard:

The crew successfully initiates a manual scram signal after a automatic scram failed has occurred and/or, The crew initiates a manual ARI causing control rod insertion and/or, The crew successfully performs RIPs (the task of sending an operator to vent the scram air header should not be considered as “control room operator actions” and thus should not be considered as a method for this CT) and/or, The crew successfully performs RIPs as allowed by the scenario to insert control rods capable of being inserted and/or, The crew successfully injects boron into the RPV. If the crew performed the actions for Power/level control and that caused power to lower below 5% before any of the above actions were performed, this CT should be considered as N/A. If this CT was N/A due to Power/level control lowering power and the actions related with this CT were not competently performed, the responsible individual(s) and possible crew may fail or require remediation due to competencies. If the crew was performing the actions of Power/level control and was correctly performing actions for this CT, this CT should be considered satisfactory. If the crew is not performing the correct procedures for the given conditions and this results in the reactor remaining at power, this should be considered an individual failure and possible crew failure. Example: The crew is individually driving control rods during an electrical ATWS and ARI is available and has not been attempted. If ARI automatically initiates and results in power lowering below 5%, this CT should be N/A.

Feedback: Control rod positions and/or boron injection. EOP step(s): ATWS Q-1, Q-3, Q-6, Q-8 BWROG: RPV 4.1, RPV 5.1, RPV 6.1

10. IF a reactor scram is required, and

Reactor power is >5%, and Power/level control is required, THEN terminate and prevent injection until conditions allow reinjection.

Safety Significance:

RPV water level must be lowered during ATWS to either lower reactor power or to prevent challenging the containment. If power is known to be below 5%, it is highly unlikely that the reactor is producing a significant power such that power/level control will effectively reduce power further, thus entering power/level control is not required or safety significant. If power is above 5%, or cannot be determined and RPV level is above 87", power level control is required to reduce reactor power in order to prevent or mitigate the consequences of any large irregular neutron flux oscillations induced by neutronic/thermal-hydraulic instabilities. If power is known to be above 5%, or cannot be determined and RPV water level is above +15", and torus water temperature is above 110°F, and either an SRV is open or will reopen or DW pressure is above 2 psig, then power level control is required to reduce power in order to preserve containment integrity. Thus terminating and preventing injection will aid in lowering power and can preclude failure of containment or equipment necessary for the safe shutdown of the plant.

Cue: ATWS EOP entry required with reactor power above 5% or cannot be determined and either: • RPV water level is above +87" or • RPV water level is above +15" and torus water temperature is above 110°F, and

either an SRV is open or will reopen or DW pressure is above 2 psig.

Performance Standard:

Injection from all of the following is terminated until conditions allow reinjection: • Condensate/Feedwater • HPCI • RHR • Core Spray • Alternate ATWS injection systems (Table 2B)

Reinjection should not occur until RPV water level is below 87" and one of the • Reactor power drops below 5% • Reactor power drops below 5% • All SRVs remain closed AND DW pressure remains below 2 psig.

CRD, SBLC, and RCIC injection are allowed. If RCIC was not injecting but other systems were injecting outside the shroud at a flowrate below RCIC flowrate, the critical task is satisfactory although remediation may be necessary. If RPV level is not lowering to the required conditions, and the crew is not controlling RCIC injection, the critical task is satisfactory, although remediation may be required.

Feedback: Injection flowrate for the listed systems remain at zero until reinjection is allowed. EOP step(s): ATWS/L two CRS, and L-1, -2. BWROG: RPV 6.3

NRC Initial License Exam, Scenario #2 SEG

11. IF performing ATWS Power/level control and

Conditions are met to allow reinjection, THEN crew actions are taken to maintain RPV level above -25" by injecting using Table 1B systems.

Safety Significance:

Maintaining RPV water level above -25" will ensure that the covered portion of the reactor core will generate sufficient steam to preclude any clad temperature in the uncovered portion of the core from exceeding 1500°F.

The use of table 1B systems is to ensure the flowpath of the injection water is outside the shroud and mixes with the warmer water in the lower plenum prior to it reaching the core.

Cue: Power level control has been entered in ATWS, RPV water level is below +87", and one or more of the following conditions have been met for reinjection: • Reactor power drops below 5% • RPV level reaches +15" • All SRVs remain closed and DW pressure remains <2 psig.

Performance Standard:

Table 1B Injection systems are injecting to maintain RPV level above -25". Restarting of FW injection to maintain RPV level is satisfactory for this critical task.

If injection with Table 1B systems are not required to maintain RPV level above -25", this critical task would be N/A. Example: RCIC has been operating and is maintaining RPV level.

If the crew injects with Core Spray in an attempt to maintain RPV level above -25", this should be considered a critical task failure unless an ATWS ED has been performed.

If an uncontrolled injection (above 2.8 Mlb/hr) causes a power rise above 5%, it should be considered a critical task failure.

If an uncontrolled injection does not cause a power rise above 5%, but does cause RPV water level to go above the EOP ATWS maximum recorded RPV level, the critical task is satisfactory although remediation may be necessary.

If RPV water level goes above the EOP ATWS maximum recorded RPV level due to CRD, SBLC and/or level swell, this should not require remediation.

Feedback: RPV water level is being maintained above -25".

NRC Initial License Exam, Scenario #3 SEG

1. IF the reactor is shutdown under all conditions and

RPV level drops to +15”, THEN perform Emergency RPV Depressurization before RPV level reaches -25".

Safety Significance:

If the lowering RPV water level trend had not been reversed before RPV level drops to +15", emergency RPV depressurization should be performed prior to RPV level reaching -25". The consequence of not depressurizing the RPV when level is below -25" is a loss of adequate core cooling. Depressurizing prematurely may unnecessarily cause unneeded stress on the RPV and piping.

Cue: RPV level lowered to +15".

Performance Standard:

The crew must “Initiate” emergency RPV depressurization after the lowest valid level indication shows <+15" and prior to the lowest valid level indicates -25".

The critical task is not satisfactory if the actions for “Emergency RPV Depressurization” are not complete. (See definitions)

Feedback: RPV pressure is rapidly lowering.

EOP step(s): RC/L-4, L-7, L-8

BWROG: RPV 1.1

NRC Initial License Exam, Scenario #3 SEG

22. BEFORE drywell temperature reaches 280°F and

WHILE in the safe region of the DWSIL, THEN initiate drywell sprays.

Safety Significance:

If DW sprays were initiated when in the shaded area of the DWSIL, this could lead to an evaporative cooling pressure drop which could result in:

• Deinerting the containment or containment negative pressures below design.

OR • Drywell-below-torus differential pressure beyond design.

Operation of DW sprays if DW temperature cannot be maintained below 280°F, will ensure that the design temperatures of the components within the DW are not exceeded.

If DW sprays are not utilized when available, the next EOP actions will be to Emergency RPV Depressurize, which will lower the amount of ambient heat to the DW, but will cause additional pressure/temperature stress on the RPV.

Cue: DW temperature is rising and is below 280°F.

Average DW temperature and DW pressure conditions allow DW spray per the DWSIL curve

Performance Standard:

DW sprays are initiated on at least one side of RHR prior to 280°F DW temperature.

If DW sprays are initiated while in the shaded area of the Drywell Spray Initiation Limit (DWSIL), this would be a critical task failure.

If the crew does not secure Recirculation pumps prior to initiating DW sprays, the critical task is considered satisfactory although remediation may be required.

Feedback: DW spray flow initiated and DW temperature is lowering.

EOP step(s): DW/T-4, -5

NRC Initial License Exam, Scenario #3 SEG

33. The Reactor is shutdown and RPV water level can be maintained above +15 inches with preferred and

alternate injection systems,

THEN inject to restore and maintain RPV level above +15 inches.

Safety Significance:

The preferred method of core cooling is core submergence. If this method is available, the crew is directed to inject with preferred and alternate systems to maintain the preferred method of core cooling. Although other methods will provide core cooling, such as Emergency Depressurization, the core temperatures will be higher.

Cue: RPV level is lowering and preferred and/or alternate methods of injection are available to maintain RPV level above +15 inches, but will not maintain +15 inches without operator action.

If automatic actions will maintain RPV level above +15 inches, this task should be N/A.

Adequate time needs to be given to allow the crew to restart injection.

The crew has indications that the system(s) is(are) available for injection.

Performance Standard:

The crew should start or align systems or power supplies to maintain RPV level above +15 inches.

This could be taking manual control of a failed automatic controller, restoring power to a bus that has an available injection system, opening a valve that failed to auto open, or resetting a “trip” signal for an injection system.

If starting of injection with operator actions will not maintain RPV level above +15 inches, this critical task should be N/A. If this is the situation, and the crew does not attempt any of these systems, resulting in RPV level reaching +15 inches sooner than if the injection systems were started, remediation may be necessary, although the CT is N/A.

Feedback: Injection systems are maintaining RPV level above +15 inches.
