Industry experts needed for Focused Self-Assessment in TVA (Chattanooga, TN) ... July 29-31
by Kenneth Pike 24 Jun '14

24 Jun '14

TVA is planning an upcoming self-assessment on Reactivity Maneuvering Plans. I am looking for an Operations or Reactor Engineering member. We have 2 PWR sites and 1 BWR sites so individuals with experience with both reactor types is a plus! As a team member, I would like participants to review/comment on the following documents - recent INPO AFIs related to Reactivity Control Plans (RCPs), other applicable INPO guidance documents, our Nuclear Power Group practices related to RCPs (Reactivity Management, Human Performance tools, etc.), all 3 TVA sites' controlling procedures for RCP development, external peers' procedures on RCPs, PWROG and RCRC documents on RCPs, etc. Additionally, I would like team members to conduct interviews with Operations personnel from their respective location to obtain feedback about RCP effectiveness. I will provide the above-mentioned documents, along with a recommended Operations interview questions sheet, in early July. I am requesting 3 days in Chattanooga, 7/29 - 7/31. Although not optimal, I can also set up a conference call-in phone number to participate via phone and will also entertain less than 3 days in Chattanooga, if necessary. From the above activities, I will ask each team member to write up a 1 or 2 page report on their observations, interviews, document reviews, etc. to ultimately come up with best practices, format, and content of RCPs for TVA usage. Team members may take with them whatever documentation they would like for their company. My final report is due 30 days after the completion of the assessment so I will send that to team members as well. Interested??? Chattanooga is a great place to visit! Thanks.

Positive MTC operation
by krpike＠retaqs.com 15 May '14

15 May '14

Does your plant employ a positive MTC at BOC powers less than 70% operation type Tech Spec? Trying to see if this is now used by the majority of plants or if any plants still adhere to the MTC less than or zero at HZP ARO BOC type spec. TIA for a response.

Rod Drop Timing System
by ddgoff＠aep.com 14 Dec '13

14 Dec '13

DC Cook has a Rod Drop System that we created ~16 years ago and have upgraded over the years. Our system cannot take over 5 volts, so we have to turn power off to the RPIs prior to hooking up the 53 cables to the RPI Test Points We have the ARPI system We are looking at reliability and shorter outages and want to see what others are using and who performs the test. So for Rod Drop Timing Tests: What kind of RPI system do you have (ARPI, DRPI)? Where do you hook the Rod Drop System to? What kind of Rod Drop Timing system do you have? Is it permanently installed, will it take data at all times? Do you have a contractor come in and do the measurement? Who is your contractor? What organization performs the test (Reactor Engineering, MTI, Operations, etc)? When do you perform the rod drops (in parallel with CRDM Time Response Testing, in parallel with physics testing, etc) How labor intensive is your process from setup to dropping to analysis (fully automated with little setup, very little automation and a lot of setup, etc.)?

Demineralized water use

Hello, The Cook Plant (Westinghouse PWR) has a procedural limit of 3000 gallons of demineralized water use in the refueling cavity if there is No fuel in the reactor pressure vessel, (a requirement which i would like to eliminate). does anyone else have a similar limit? thanks! wvf William Ferguson, P.E.
