RE: [Pwrrm] New Fuel Receipt Questions
by kevin.elam＠exeloncorp.com 15 Dec '05

15 Dec '05

The following answers were provided by David M. Chapman: 1. What role, if any, does Quality Assurance or Quality Control play in the fuel receipt process? Specifically, do they perform any inspections, review paperwork, etc? A1 - Neither QA nor QC play a role in fuel receipt activities or paperwork. 2. What is the purpose the new fuel inspection activity? Is the new fuel receipt inspection considered an inspection for "shipping or handling damage" or it is a traditional receipt inspection? A2 - Nuclear fuel and associated fuel components are inspected upon receipt at each nuclear site to accomplish the following; A2.1 Confirmation the fuel design and bundle serial numbers are as ordered A2.2 Confirmation that there has been no shipping or handling damage A2.3 Confirmation of certain design or fabrication details are as specified by Nuclear Fuels (NF) A2.4 Confirmation that there is no foreign material present and that overall cleanliness is acceptable A2.5 Cleanup of any minor foreign material or surface contamination A2.6 Correction of minor issues such as lock tab engagement on tie rod nuts or BWR bundle twist 3. Who does “inspection” (i.e. Reactor Engineering, QA/QC, Maintenance, shared resources, etc.)? A3 - Up until ~2000, the Reactor Engineers performed the Fuel Receipt inspections utilizing the Fuel Handling Department to move and open the containers and move the fuel. The receipt inspections were then turned over to the Fuel Handling Department, who are now called Reactor Services. Reactor Services performs the receipt inspection of the fuel or core component through use of qualified inspectors (Qualified by Reactor Engineering Annually) working to station procedures that as a minimum accomplish all requirements of the receipt procedure. 4. What specific role(s) does Rx Engineer perform? A4 - Reactor Engineering provides the interface between the corporate Nuclear Fuels Fuel Reliability Engineer, the fuel vendor and the organization (Reactor Services) directly responsible for inspecting fuel and associated core components and assures all fuel bundles and associated core components are inspected and the inspection results are reconciled to the design documents and all identified discrepancies are resolved. 5. Who unloads shipping containers? A5 - Reactor Services 6. Does your plant utilize the same process for fuel receipt at the site as other procured material? A6 - Fuel receipt does not utilize the same process. All other procured materials goes through the Stores Department and utilizes QC for safety related parts and equipment. The fuel is taken directly to the Fuel Handling Building to be unloaded and begin the receipt process. 7. Does your plant require the fuel receipt personnel to be ANSI/ASME N45.2.6 qualified, and at what level? If not required to be qualified to the N45.2.6, why not? A7 - Not currently. Exelon is examining the applicability of ANSI/ASME N45.2.6 to our fuel receipt inspections and whether it would benefit the receipt process or if it is required. Kevin S.

Answers are provided to each question below. If you need more information, contact me. Answers are for Wolf Creek. -----Original Message----- From: pwrrm-bounces(a)retaqs.com [mailto:pwrrm-bounces@retaqs.com]On Behalf Of mlaris(a)firstenergycorp.com Sent: Thursday, December 15, 2005 5:42 AM To: pwrrm(a)keffective.com; rcrc(a)retaqs.com Cc: rjborland(a)firstenergycorp.com Subject: [Pwrrm] New Fuel Receipt Questions RETAQS was having problems with their mail server when I sent this survey the first time. Since I got no responses, I am resending it. FENOC is trying to develop a standard fuel receipt process between BWRs/PWRs. To that end, I have some questions on how fuel receipt is done at your plants: 1. What role, if any, does Quality Assurance or Quality Control play in the fuel receipt process? Specifically, do they perform any inspections, review paperwork, etc? QA provides no role except to audit procedure changes if any. QC performs the official inspection of the fuel assemblies. 2. What is the purpose the new fuel inspection activity? Is the new fuel receipt inspection considered an inspection for "shipping or handling damage" or it is a traditional receipt inspection? Inspection is to verify fuel assemblies have sustained no damage during loading or unloading into the shipping containers. It also serves to inspect for any abnormalities that may have been missed at the fabrication process. 3. Who does “inspection” (i.e. Reactor Engineering, QA/QC, Maintenance, shared resources, etc.)? Official inspection is performed by QC. Rx Engineer looks also as a second check but only takes care of the paper work requirements and directs the receipt process. 4. What specific role(s) does Rx Engineer perform? Coordinates over-all receipt process and provides fuel move paperwork for storage in dry storage or spent fuel pool. Provides all necessary SNM accountability. Coordinates between Fuel Fabricator, Maintenance, and Operations personnel for unloading the containers and receiving them on site. 5. Who unloads shipping containers? Operations and Maintenance provides the man power for the actual activity. 6. Does your plant utilize the same process for fuel receipt at the site as other procured material? Pretty well the same with some exceptions because the containers cannot be opened until they are in the fuel building, so security and HP requirements are a little bit different. 7. Does your plant require the fuel receipt personnel to be ANSI/ASME N45.2.6 qualified, and at what level? If not required to be qualified to the N45.2.6, why not? QC and RX are qualified. I do not know if there is a special requirement for Maintenance personnel. They are not specially qualified above their normal work except they go through the necessary pre-job briefs before they perform the activity. We keep the same Operations and Maintenance personnel for the entire new fuel receipt activity. Once I compile this data, I'll send it out to everyone.

Ginna Nuclear Power Plant Information Who performs the 1/M during approach to crit? Operators or REs? RE generally performs 1/M, but may be performed by Operator. Are the RE's an integral member of the team or in an oversite role (review ECCs and 1/M's)? REs are integral. We perform the ECCs and 1/M. Who performs the ECC (ECP), RE or the STA or the SRO? The Reactor Engineers perform the ECC and SROs reviews, but the procedure allows either to perform. Who reviews the ECC, (ECP), RE or the STA or the SRO? Generally, SRO reviews the ECC. How many people HAVE to review the ECC? One, an SRO has to review and approve the ECC itself. Does Ops assign a reactivity management SRO to major reactivity changes (SU, maneuver up and down, 75% and back to 100%???? Yes, we recently started requiring a reactivity management SRO. Are all Rx start ups IPTE's (Infrequently Performed Test or Evolutions)? No. IPTE or SIPEs are normally only first time implementation issues, i.e, DRWM. How many plants have pre-developed reactivity plans (ReMA's) in the control room for rapid downpowers? REs do not pre-developed reactivity plans, but Operators do a weekly calculation for several combinations of power reduction and rate. How often are they updated? Weekly. Are recurring work orders "flagged" electronically to alert the operators to evolutions that may impact reactivity management? Yes Does RE and Ops meet after RM evolutions for a post job critique? Not typically. Normally any significant non-routine reactivity changes are discussed at Reactivity Management Committee. If so, for all power maneuvers, only major ones (i.e. 0-100%)??? Normally any significant non-routine reactivity changes are discussed at Reactivity Management Committee. Thanks, J. Houston Penny III R. E.

Fort Calhoun Station responses in Blue... Reactor Engineers I have a major Integration effort coming up for Dominion in regard to reactivity management. Some general questions on Common Standards that we all use. Please let me know what folks do for the following Who performs the 1/M during approach to crit? Operators or REs - STAs perform with RE overview. Are the RE's an integral member of the team or in an oversite role (review ECCs and 1/M's)? REs are part of the Operations Dept. STAs receive similar training as the REs. A SRO, STA and one of the REs will perform independent ECCs. Comparison are made and the RE evaluates/resolves any differences. The RE, along with the Shift Manager, attempts to maintain an oversight role. Who performs the ECC (ECP), RE or the STA or the SRO? Usually all. RE compares and resolves differences. Who reviews the ECC, (ECP), RE or the STA or the SRO? RE and Shift Manager/or Control Room Supv How many people HAVE to review the ECC? Reviewed by RE. Signed of in StartUp procedure by SM/CRS. Does Ops assign a reactivity management SRO to major reactivity changes (SU, maneuver up and down, 75% and back to 100%???? Yes for Planned Power Manuevers. No if not available for Emergent Shutdowns. Are all Rx start ups IPTE's (Infrequently Performed Test or Evolutions)? No. How many plants have pre-developed reactivity plans (ReMA's) in the control room for rapid downpowers? FCS has 21 plans. They are for 5%/hr, 15%/hr, 30%/hr and downpowers to 90%, 80%, 70%, 50%, 30%, 12%, and S/D with 12 hours of Stabalization built-in to combat Xenon. How often are they updated? updated every 1,000 MWD/MTU (~ every month). The Automated SIMULATE scripts require about 4 hours of work each month to update all the plans. Are recurring work orders "flagged" electronically to alert the operators to evolutions that may impact reactivity management? All Work Orders have Impact Statements which include a Reactivity Management section. The Impact Statements are completed by Licensed Operators in the Work Control Center. Does RE and Ops meet after RM evolutions for a post job critique? Not officially. If so, for all power maneuvers, only major ones (i.e. 0-100%)??? N/A Thanks in advance for your help in this regard.

Are the RE's an integral member of the team or in an oversite role (review ECCs and 1/M's)? REs are integral. We perform the ECCs and monitor 1/M. Who performs the ECC (ECP), RE or the STA or the SRO? The Reactor Engineers perform the ECC and SROs provide review. Who reviews the ECC, (ECP), RE or the STA or the SRO? SRO reviews the ECC. An RE reviews the B-10 and Xe input to the ECC. How many people HAVE to review the ECC? An RE HAS to review the B-10 and Xe code outputs. An SRO HAS to review and approve the ECC itself. Does Ops assign a reactivity management SRO to major reactivity changes (SU, maneuver up and down, 75% and back to 100%???? Yes. We call that SRO a "dedicated" SRO. Are all Rx start ups IPTE's (Infrequently Performed Test or Evolutions)? No. Only startups following a refueling outage are considered infrequent tests. How many plants have pre-developed reactivity plans (ReMA's) in the control room for rapid downpowers? We have generic pre-developed reactivity plans for expedient power reductions from full power to 75%, 50% and 0% power. How often are they updated? They are updated every ~2000 MWD/MTU. Are recurring work orders "flagged" electronically to alert the operators to evolutions that may impact reactivity management? Yes Does RE and Ops meet after RM evolutions for a post job critique? Not typically. Operations is provided a feedback form with every reactivity management plan. That feedback form is used to provide critique to Reactor Engineering. If so, for all power maneuvers, only major ones (i.e. 0-100%)??? All reactivity management plans are transmitted with a feedback form. Kevin S.
