Two Questions involving standard ramp
plans (the plans given to ops for common ramping needs- turbine balance shot,
misaligned rod, backing off RTP, securing MFP):
How many
cases are run for the standard ramp plans given to ops? (our sites run between
six per month per unit to 16 per quarter)
BEACON is used to generate six standard cases..
Ramp
to 15% power in 7 hours.
Ramp
to 15% power in 2 hours.
Rapid
power reduction to 90%, 70%, 50% and 30%.
Specific ramp plans are generated for planned
ramps.
How often
are standard ramp plans updated at each site? (we do monthly for two of our
sites, quarterly at the other two)
Standard ramp plans are valid for 2,000 MWD/MTU (about 48
days).
