For the last few refueling outages, Surry has a new strategy on cleaning up the RCS involving more effective crud burst and cleanup which is designed to lower source term. It has been very successful.

Subject [Pwrrm] Tramp or background Reduction
Hello all,
at Cook Unit 1, we experienced 7 fuel defects in the previous fuel cycle, so our 'tramp' or 'background' levels are a little higher than we have seen in recent history.
Has anyone made attempts to reduce the 'background' or 'tramp' levels at their site?
thanks,
wvf
