Diablo Canyon Unit's "x" values for 3.9 and 4.6 are the same as the Dominion Units.
 
3.9 Unplanned reactivity change caused by equipment problem or personnel error.
    • Reactor power change ¡Ý 0.5% RTP when > 5% RTP
    • Reactivity change ¡Ý 350 pcm when ¡Ü 5% RTP
 
4.6. Unplanned reactivity change caused by equipment problem or personnel error.

This is what we use for the Dominion Units (Surry, Kewanee, North Anna and Millstone):

 

3.9 Unplanned Reactivity Change Caused by Equipment Problem or Personnel Error

• Reactor Power Change >0.5% RTP When >5% RTP

• Reactivity Change >350 pcm When <5% RTP

 

 

4.6 Unplanned Reactivity Change Caused by Equipment Problem or Personnel Error

• Reactor Power Change < 0.5% RTP When >5% RTP

• Reactivity Change <350 pcm and >150 pcm When < 5% RTP

Here is what Duke Energy (Oconee Nuclear Station, Catawba Nuclear Station, & McGuire Nuclear Station) uses:

 

A positive change in reactivity GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO:

¡¤         0.05% ¦¤K/K (50 pcm) beyond intended change or expected tolerance (Mode 2 only) OR

¡¤         0.35% ¦¤K/K (350 pcm) beyond intended change or expected tolerance (Mode 3, 4, 5, and 6

only)

A negative change in reactivity GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 0.15% ¦¤K/K (150 pcm)

beyond intended change or expected tolerance (Mode 2 only)

What values of "x" are plants using for example criteria 3.9 and 4.6 in the PWR Reactivity Management Performance Indicator PI?
