LAR Implementation
by Fago, Carl D 06 Jul '09

06 Jul '09

Does anyone use the plant modification process (or equivalent) to implement approved LARs that do not result in a physical change to an SSC? Thanks! Carl Carl D.

Fuel Inspection Activities - RP Considerations
by aburger＠firstenergycorp.com 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

What Radiation Protection requirements are required for fuel inspection activities in the Spent Fuel Pool at your plant? In particular, when is additional filtration, such as a Tri-Nuke, required for fuel inspection activities? Anthony (A.R.)

SOER 07-1 Low Power Ops
by Fago, Carl D 30 Sep '08

30 Sep '08

Question for the group... SOER 07-1 provides the admonition to discourage low power operation for an extended period of time. How have you defined "low power operation" and "extended period of time"? We're proposing defining "low power operation" as operation with the turbine offline. And "extended period of time" as 24 hours greater than the planned outage schedule (the assumption here is that the outage planning process has evaluated the risks of operation within the plan). Is our proposal more or less conservative than your equivalent? Thanks! Carl Carl D.

Re: [Respvr] HELP! Question About Fuel Handling Practices

Carl, see Jay's response below. Duane Gore Supervisor, Reactor Engineering STPNOC (361) 972-8909 ________________________________ From: Eichenlaub, Jay Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2008 9:43 AM To: Gore, Duane Subject: RE: HELP! Question About Fuel Handling Practices Reactor Engineering sets the initial setpoints at the beginning of cycle. We have over the years reduced to setpoint from the F-Spec maximum down to where we started to see spurious alarms. These setpoints usually work for the whole outage. We confirm the expected weight with the first assembly and verify that the current setpoints are within F-Spec limits based on the actual weight of the first assembly. We see shifts in indicated weights between and during outages. If we are outside F-Spec, we stop and reset based on actual weights. If we are within F-Spec, but higher or lower than optimum, then we will discuss with the CLS and come to a consensus. If we are within F-Spec it is difficult to make a case to stop and optimize. However, the CLS has the ultimate call as long as we are within F-Spec. We don't get too concerned with the underload during core offload or the overload during reload. If optimization is desire, we will make an adjustment during the defueled window or if we have a long stop in fuel movement.

Question About Fuel Handling Practices Oconee is in week #2 of our E&A and a question has arisen that I could use some benchmarking help with. Specifically, during offload or reload, who makes the decision to increase / decrease the overload / underload setpoint (within the fuel vendor handling limits) on the fuel crane? We have a Refueling SRO on the bridge and a fuel handler (operating the bridge and mast crane). We let these two make the decision on what's needed within strict limits that are provided in technical procedures that they are trained on. (Any very rate instance that we may need to go outside the vendor limits would have significantly higher approval level and would involve the fuel vendor in the decision process ... this would represent an "event".) For your fleet / site, do you do something similar? Do you have a higher level of approval? If you have a higher level of approval required, how often do you encounter the need to increase / decrease the setpoint (within the fuel vendor handling specification limits)? Or, perhaps your overload / underload setpoints are at the vendor limits? Any quick turnaround answer or a contact name / number would be very much appreciated! Carl Carl D.
