What values of "x" are plants using for example criteria 3.9 and 4.6 in the PWR Reactivity Management Performance Indicator PI?
David Goff Reactor Engineer Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant 269-465-5901 x1465
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% ΔK/K (50 pcm) beyond intended change or expected tolerance (Mode 2 only) OR
· 0.35% ΔK/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% ΔK/K (150 pcm) beyond intended change or expected tolerance (Mode 2 only)

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

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 ≥ 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

FENOC PWRs (Beaver Valley and Davis-Besse) currently utilize the following:
SL4
Unplanned Reactivity Change Caused by Equipment Problem or Personnel Error · Reactor Power Change < 0.5% RTP When >5% RTP Reactivity Change < 100 pcm (based on 10 deg temp change) When ≤ 5% RTP
SL3
Unplanned Reactivity Change Caused by Equipment Problem or Personnel Error · Reactor Power Change ≥ 0.5% RTP When > 5% RTP Reactivity Change ≥ 150 pcm (based on 10 deg temp change) When ≤ 5% RTP
We need to revise to 150 pcm for the cut-off. Based on results of this survey, we may also revise, or this may be something for the PWROG Reactivity Management Task Team to address...
