JPM Sim-b — Transfer To Hot Leg Recirculation IAW EOP-LOCA-4
Sim | RO/SRO | 006 A4.05 (3.9/3.8)
Location: Simulator
Time-Critical: No
Alternate Path: No
Estimated Time: 5 minutes
Initial Conditions:
- Unit 2 experienced a Large Break LOCA.
- The crews have completed actions to transfer to Cold Leg Recirculation IAW EOP-LOCA-3 and have transitioned back to EOP-LOCA-1.
- 22 SI pump tripped during LOCA-3 and is being investigated.
- 21 RHR pump and 21SJ45 were C/T for scheduled maintenance prior to the event.
- The crew has just reached the 4.5 hour wait time at Step 26 of EOP-LOCA-1.
Initiating Cue:
- You are the Reactor Operator.
- The CRS has directed you to continue with EOP-LOCA-1 starting at Step 27.
- Your evaluator will respond to all alarms not related to your task.

▶ Show Critical Steps & Key Actions
| Step | Critical Element | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| 27 * | DEPRESS "CLOSE" PUSHBUTTON FOR 21 AND 22 SJ40 (Hot Leg Discharge Valves) | Depresses CLOSE PB for 21 and 22 SJ40 on 2CC1. |
| 27.1 * | REMOVE LOCKOUTS FOR 21 AND 22 SJ40 (Hot Leg Discharge Valves) | Places 21 and 22 SJ40 Lockout CMC switches to "Valve Operable" and verifies Valve Operable backlight illuminates. |
| 27.1 (cont'd) | ARE "VALVE OPERABLE" BACKLIGHTS LIT FOR 21SJ40 AND 22SJ40? | YES — verifies Valve Operable backlights are lit on 2RP4 for both 21 and 22 SJ40. |
| 28 | WAIT UNTIL 6.5 HOURS HAVE ELAPSED SINCE SI ACTUATION | CUE: 6.5 hours has elapsed since SI actuation. CRS directs transfer to Hot Leg Recirculation by performing EOP-LOCA-4. |
| LOCA-4 Step 1 | ARE BOTH RHR PUMPS RUNNING? | Determines that ONLY 22 RHR Pump is running (21 RHR pump is C/T). Goes to Step 3. |
| 3 | IS 22 RHR Pump Running? | YES — determines that 22 RHR Pump is running. |
| 4 * | CLOSE 22CS36 (RHR SUPPLY TO CS VALVE) | Depresses CLOSE PB for 22CS36 and verifies CLOSE PB illuminates. |
| 4 (cont'd) | IS 21SJ45 (RHR DISCHARGE TO SI PUMPS VALVE) OPEN? | NO — determines 21SJ45 is CLOSED due to 21 RHR pump maintenance. (Alternate Path #1) |
| 4 (cont'd) * | OPEN 22SJ49 (COLD LEG ISOLATION VALVE) | Depresses OPEN PB for 22SJ49 and verifies OPEN PB illuminates. |
| 4.1 | IS 22 SI Pump Running? | NO — determines 22 SI pump is NOT running (tripped during LOCA-3). Goes to step 6.1. (Alternate Path #2) |
| 6.1 * | STOP 21 SI Pump | Depresses 21 SI Pump STOP PB on 2CC1 and verifies STOP PB illuminates. |
| 6.1 (cont'd) * | CLOSE 21SJ134 (Cold Leg Discharge Valve) | Depresses CLOSE PB for 21SJ134 on 2CC1 and verifies CLOSE PB illuminates. |
| 6.1 (cont'd) * | OPEN 21SJ40 (Hot Leg Discharge Valve) | Opens 21SJ40 by inserting key and rotating; verifies OPEN PB illuminates. |
| 6.1 (cont'd) * | START 21 SI Pump | Depresses START PB for 21 SI Pump and verifies START PB illuminates. |
| End | Return to Procedure in Effect | JPM is complete when operator returns to procedure in effect. |
Key Decision Point:
This JPM has two alternate path decision points. First, at Step 4 (cont'd), the applicant must recognize that 21SJ45 is CLOSED for 21 RHR pump maintenance, so the RHR-to-SI pump cross-connect path is unavailable. Second, at Step 4.1, the applicant must recognize that 22 SI pump is NOT running (tripped during LOCA-3) and navigate to Step 6.1, which uses 21 SI pump for Hot Leg injection: STOP 21 SI Pump, CLOSE 21SJ134 (cold leg discharge), OPEN 21SJ40 (hot leg discharge, key-locked), START 21 SI Pump.
