The self assessment will include Reactor Engineering activities at Beaver Valley (2 unit, 3 loop Westinghouse PWR), Davis-Besse (Babcock & Wilcox PWR), and Perry (GE BWR 6). We are looking for two external peers to assist with this self assessment, one PWR and one BWR knowledgeable. The ideal PWR peer would have both B&W and Westinghouse experience, but this is not mandatory. The ideal BWR peer would have BWR 6 experience, but also not mandatory. Although the self assessment spans two weeks, industry peers will only be required to be present during the period of assessment specific to their technology area. The detailed schedule and assessment plan will be determined based on the input of all team members, once the team has been established. Please feel free to forward this invitation. If you would like to participate, please respond to prgilles(a)firstenergycorp.com by Friday, June 15. Don't hesitate to call if you have questions. Thanks!

I was asked to do a little electronic benchmarking related to your Reactivity Management Oversight Committee meetings. 1) How frequently do you meet; (What is required? Monthly? Quarterly? Semi-Annually? 2) What level of your organization is the meeting focused? Working level (Supervisors)? Middle Management (Department Heads/ Managers)? Senior Management (Division/Director)? 3) What is the required attendance? Is there a quorum? 4) What functional areas are required / represented? Operations, Engineering (Systems, Design, Programs, Reactor), Work Management, Maintenance, RP, Chemistry, Licensing? 5) What agenda items are required? Performance Indicator(s)? Corrective Action Program? Deficient Equipment? 6) Are there any specific goals for the committee? Performance improvement targets; 7) Are any of Reactivity Management goals forward looking? J. E.

BEACON Topical Question
by Mayer, Mark 19 Oct '11

19 Oct '11

Diablo Canyon has a request for all BEACON users - A recent review of our BEACON topical indicates a potential discrepancy between the BEACON topical and our Technical Specifications. The issue stems from the number of MIDS thimbles required to be used during a flux map. The BEACON topical in places states that the required number of thimbles is 75% with at least four thimbles per quadrant. Our Tech Specs only require two per quadrant. The draft COLR in the topical (provided to the NRC in an RAI on the topical) and the NRC SER on BEACON acknowledges the use of four per quadrant. We requested approval to use BEACON PDMS through a license change that did not identify any deviations from the BEACON topical. At this time, we have a conflicted licensing basis and are looking for input from other plants which may have a similar quandary. * How many thimbles do you require? (% and #/quadrant?) * Do you have a similar issue? * Did you identify this as a difference between the topical and your application of BEACON? * Do you have any other insights to share with respect to the use of BEACON? Thanks in advance, Mark Mayer Diablo Canyon Power Plant 805-545-4674

SNM from fuel leaks
by MCKINNEY, MICHAEL R 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

Request for industry peer feedback - I have the following 3 questions: Does your site / utility account for washout or tramp SNM that may collect throughout the plant? If you do account for the SNM, do you estimate the amount or use a method to quantify the amount? Do you report the loss (as inadvertent losses or otherwise) on DOE/NRC form 742 or other forms? Entergy has had fuel leaks in the past and one fuel leak currently. Trace amounts of Special Nuclear Material (SNM) may be present in the reactor coolant, clean-up, and/or rad waste systems due to present or past fuel failures. The SNM is difficult to measure in the coolant system and therefore cannot be accounted for. But this SNM may be quantified in rad waste prior to disposal. Entergy Nuclear's fleet SNM Control program does not currently address the accounting treatment of this SNM. Thanks, Mike Michael R. McKinney Supervisor, PWR Fuels mmckinn(a)entergy.com 601-368-5450

Mail Lists
by Tom Tomlinson 10 Dec '10

10 Dec '10

As many of you know, we identified a security hole in our mail lists this week. In the process of addressing that problem, some unintended messages were released to the groups which caused great confusion. I apologize for that. We now believe that the issue has been resolved. If you see any further suspicious messages, please forward them to me. The lists should now be safe to use. I wish all of you a blessed and joyous Holiday Season, Tom Tomlinson

Water Clarity and Lighting Standards for Core Inspections
by Fago, Carl D 05 Apr '10

05 Apr '10

Does your station have water clarity or lighting standards for core inspections? (FOSARs, alignment checks, ID verifications, etc.) At Oconee Nuclear Station we only have qualitative standards (procedure and PJB directs the inspector to ensure there is adequate clarity and lighting).

Carl, Here is the standard we use for moving fuel. There are no standards for FOSAR or inspection related activities, unless we are moving fuel. "Water clarity is sufficient, under lighted conditions, to observe the top of a fuel assembly for possible obstructions or debris, in the following locations: * Spent Fuel Pool * Transfer Canal * Reactor Cavity" J.

Failed Fuel Action Levels - Based upon Noble Gas Data
by WILLETT, JOSEPH E 20 Feb '10

20 Feb '10

Fort Calhoun Station Reactor Engineering is looking to improve our Failed Fuel Action Plan (FFAP) by utilizing Noble Gas values as the basis for our Action levels. Our current FFAP utilizes historic values of coolant activity and dose equivalent iodine. Because of our history with failed fuel (early 2000's) and our current status over the last 5 cycles (No fuel failures), the values we use for determining action levels are now non-conservative. 1) Do you utilize noble gas values for FFAP action levels ? 2) If yes what are your levels ? Have they been effective ? 3) Can you provide a contact to discuss noble gas values 4) If no, what do you use? 5) Are you considering noble gas values? J. E.
