L/ Scenario Obiective Evaluate the crew's ability to control the plant during a condition requiring Emergency Depressurization.
Narrative Summary:
- 1. Unit is in Mode Iat -95% power, operating per BPO.
- 2. The following equipment is 00s:
- a. 2B Stator Cooling Pump
- b. IRM16
- 3. LCOs:
- a. None
- 4. Scenario Description At shift turnover, the team is informed of a Torus to Drywell vacuum breaker that has failed DOS 1600-9 and is stuck approximately 20% open. The team begins a plant shutdown.
Control rod H-01 will begin drifting in.
A report comes into the Main Control Room that the 2B CRD pump is making a loud grinding noise. The NSO will swap CRD pumps, placing 2A CRD pump in service.
APRM Channel 5 fails upscale. The NSO will--bypass_the_APRMand Reset the half scram.
-8. -.- A small steam leak upstream of the restrictors occurs. The Team will begin to execute the DOA for slow leak.
The running CRD pump trips on low suction pressure and accumulator alarms begin to come in. When the Team scrams three rods stay out. The CRD pump can be restarted after an NLO swaps suction filters to drive in rods. The steam leak will get worse and pressurize the containment, forcing an Emergency Depressurization.
Scenario Run Time: 60 min.
Scenario Events:
Event 1 Torus to Drywell Vacuum Breaker Fails Open At shift turnover, the team is informed of a Torus to Drywell vacuum breaker that has failed DOS 1600-9 and is stuck approximately 20% open. Attempts by the team to close the valve are unsuccessful. The team begins a plant shutdown.
Malfunctions Required:
Torus/DAN vacuum breaker failed 20% open Note: This malfunction does NOT count quantitatively due to occurring before turnover.

Event 3 - CRD Pump Swap A report comes into the Main Control Room that the 2B CRD pump is making a loud grinding noise. The NSO will swap CRD pumps, placing 2A CRD pump in service.
Malfunctions Required: 1 CRD pump trip if NSO does not swap pumps in a timely manner.
Success Path:
e NSO swaps running CRD pumps.
