Definition of When Startup is Complete
by WILLETT, JOSEPH E 24 Nov '08

24 Nov '08

FCS has two requirements regarding a dropped rod. First, if we drop more than one rod at power, we trip the reactor. Second, if we drop a single rod during startup, we trip the reactor. What we don't have is a definition of when startup is considered complete, with regards to a dropped rod. Do other plants have similar requirements and do you have a definition of when startup is complete with regards to a dropped rod? J. E.

Disregard if this is a repeat email for you. Trying to be sure I get all PWRs. Thanks To all PWR RE Supervisors, please provide current mailing address info and number of Calendars need for your RE Staff. We will send you a Reactivity Mgmt, FME and Zero by 2010 posters as well as the infamous RETAQS RxEng Calendar 2009 edition. If this email was received in error and you are not the current RE Supervisor please forward to the person performing that function or reply providing me that information.

Re: [Pwrrm] Definition of When Startup is Complete

At Catawba Nuclear Station, we also trip the reactor if more than 1 rod drops. For beginning of cycle reactor startup including low power physics testing and for mid-cycle reactor startups, our requirement is to reinsert rod banks if a single rod drop occurs. For BOC, requirement applies as long as we are in the test procedure for low power physics testing. For other reactor startups, we have a test procedure for approach to criticality (in addition to the normal operating procedure). The requirement to reinsert rod banks if a single rod drop occurs is applicable while we are in the test procedure for reactor startup. In both cases once we are out of the test procedure for reactor startup and back into the normal operating procedure for unit startup, there is no shutdown requirement for a single dropped rod. Effectively, our definition of startup for the purposes of response to single dropped rod is "while in test procedure for reactor startup/physics testing" The transition from test procedure to operating procedure occurs at approximately 10-8 amps on intermediate range, about a decade below point of adding heat. Other potential definitions of reactor startup with respect to single dropped rod could be: 1. Mode 2, k-eff < 1 2. Mode 2, below point of adding heat 3. Mode 2 Except for physics testing, the time spent in mode 2 during reactor startup is usually so small that it doesn't make much difference which definition you use. I do not think it is necessary to extend definition of reactor startup into mode 1.
