FW: Power Ascension Flux Mapping for Westinghouse PWRs
by Tom Tomlinson 10 Feb '06

From: Bojduj, William [mailto:WXB2@pge.com] Sent: Friday, February 10, 2006 1:26 PM To: peter.moravek(a)exeloncorp.com; pwrrm-bounces(a)retaqs.com Subject: Power Ascension Flux Mapping for Westinghouse PWRs RE folks: I would greatly appreciate it if you could answer the following three questions for your Westinghouse PWRs: (1) Do you perform a flux map at ~30% RTP and ~50% RTP? (2) How long do you stabilize before collecting MIDS data at these plateaus? (3) What is the basis for the stabilization times?

RE: [Pwrrm] Ramp Rate restrictions
by Kargol, Kenneth 06 Feb '06

At Diablo Canyon, we would consider implementing ramp rate restrictions based on the specifics of the situation. Fortunately, we don't have fuel rod failures in the current cycles.

Attached is Diablo Canyon's response to the Oconee survey on rod worth measurement. Ken Kargol Reactor Engineer Diablo Canyon (805) 545-4075 -----Original Message----- From: pwrrm-bounces(a)retaqs.com [mailto:pwrrm-bounces@retaqs.com] On Behalf Of Carl D Fago Sent: Thursday, February 02, 2006 10:31 AM To: pwrrm(a)keffective.com Subject: [Pwrrm] Oconee Survey on Rod Worth Measurement Oconee has experienced a continuing trend on rod worth measurements during ZPPT where we measure heavy relative to predicted. We had an extension to the outage as we measured additional rod groups per our physics test program and managed to meet acceptance criteria in the end. But the trend through multiple cycles on all three units indicates we could continue to challenge the acceptance criteria.

CIPS / AO Help
by Michael_Fanguy＠dom.com 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

Hi everyone, We recently did our quarterly rod testing on Unit 1 and had some issue. First of all, we insert each bank 12 steps, then withdraw to 235 steps, reset the group demand counters to 230, then insert to our full out position. Following this test, delta flux trended up and peaked about 0.6-07% higher than the start. Tavg also was about .2 deg higher as well. The delta flux response was seen fairly equally on all the NIs and a flux map confirmed incore AO was close to excore. We are not used to seeing this at Surry. I am postulating that a group of rods was partially (~ 2 steps) inserted or that this may possibly be CIPS? Has anyone experience this? Any feedback would be appreciated. Michael J.

Re: [Pwrrm] Nuclear Material Accountability Procedures for ISFSIs
by Matthew_W_Streibich＠dom.com 03 Feb '06

Dominion went a different way. Dominion does not consider movement of fuel to the ISFSI as a transfer of fuel between different entities since it is still on the same site property. We made the ISFSI PADs another Item Control Area (ICA) on the site and tracked it with Shuffleworks as part of normal internal fuel movement. As a result, no transfer of fuel occurred, just movement within a given site with the use of existing fuel tracking procedures. I don't have any insight on the second question since it has not come up. I would assume that since the only source of fuel to Surry's ISFSI can only come from Surry's reactor that issue does not apply. Matthew W.

Nuclear Material Accountability Procedures for ISFSIs
by WILLETT, JOSEPH E 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

Content was missing To all, Hello folks, I'm the RE at FCS responsible for SNM (NMA) tracking. I'm looking to get some procedure information on how you have implemented reporting for your ISFSI, as well as Material Balance Areas. Additionally, there is an existing question we need to have answered regarding 72.78, which reads as follows: § 72.78 Nuclear material transfer reports. (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, whenever the licensee transfers or receives special nuclear material, the licensee shall complete in computer-readable format a Nuclear Material Transaction Report in accordance with instructions (NUREG/BR-0006 and NMMSS Report D-24, "Personal Computer Data Input for NRC Licensees"). Copies of these instructions may be obtained either by writing the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Division of Nuclear Security, Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response, Washington, DC 20555-0001, by e-mail to RidsNsirDns(a)nrc.gov, or by calling (301) 415-7298. Each ISFSI licensee who receives spent fuel from a foreign source shall complete both the supplier's and receiver's portion of the Nuclear Material Transaction Report, verify the identity of the spent fuel, and indicate the results on the receiver's portion of the form. These prescribed computer-readable forms replace the DOE/NRC Form 741 which has been previously submitted in paper form. Did you address bolded text in your procedures? If not, why? Can you send me an example of how your ISFSI is set up administratively, your controlling procedures? J. E. Willett "Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go."
