SOER 07-01 recommendation 3 stated that "plans for significant reactivity
changes are reviewed and approved by appropriate station and shift
operations management..." and "If plant conditions delay power changes,
the reactivity plan is revised to meet the new plant conditions and
approved by management".
Does anyone have specific thresholds for:
1) the level of review a plan requires (such as <10% requires shift
supervision, >10% requires shift management, >50% requires station
management)
or
2) when a reactivity plan must be revised (such as > 1 hour delay, rods >
10 steps from the predicted value, current power level step >2% from
predicted)
Additional question
How do other stations incorporate any ramp rate restrictions that may
apply? (Ramp rate alarm, operator training, ramp plan)
Thank you.
