Hello,
we are drafting our response to SOER 2007-01, and I have a few reactivity related questions:
1. who approves reactivity plans which are provided to operations from reactor engineering (reactor engineering supervisor, Unit supervisor, shift manager...)?
An Ops rep approves. The Ops rep is usually the manager of all the shifts, but can be the shift supervisor or control room SRO, depending on what's going on.
2. does a second reactor engineer have to review/sign the reactivity plans?
Yes.
3. are the reactivity plans updated during the power maneuvers, if the plant schedule changes?
Yes.
4. if on week-end or night shift, does a second reactor engineer need to come on site to review the revision to the reactivity plan?
No, the verification can be done by email and phone.
5. how frequently does reactor engineering personnel participate with operators in the plant simulator? (routinely, prior to reactor start-up, once per fuel cycle....)?
routinely on all simulated transients that RxE normally plays in. We do JIT startup training before each startup, and an RxE is expected to play during that training.
thank you for your response,
wvf
