RIS 2007-021 Compliance
by WILLETT, JOSEPH E 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

Here are FCS's answers 1) What type of time averaged values are used in your calorimetric program (e.g. 1 minute average, 5 minute average, etc)? FCS uses a 10-minute average as the value used to monitor reactor power and compliance. There are other averages available for trouble-shooting and for information (real time calculate every 30 seconds, 2-minute average, 5-minute average, and others up to 8 hour averages) 2) What type of time averaging is used for either feed flow or steam flow which feeds your calorimetric program? FCS has implemented a 2-minute average for Feedwater and S/G Blowdown flow. 3) Which of the time average calorimetric values are used to ensure compliance with your licensed thermal power limitations and the intent of RIS 2007-021? FCS uses a 10-minute average as the value used to monitor reactor power and compliance. 4) Have you made changes to your calorimetric procedures or methods as a result of the RIS? FCS has interim guidance not to exceed the license limit of 1500 MWth while at steady state conditions, with a target band of 1497-1499 MWth. We also clarified the term steady-state with respect to the rotation of secondary equipment. (we have 3 Main Feed, 3 Condensate and 3 heater drain pumps). The 10-minute average for secondary calorimetric would indicate a ~5-6 MWth increase during the start of the standby feed pump, and then return to normal once the running pump is secured. We have told the SRO/RO's to declare the calculation invalid and rely on NI and delta-T power during this timeframe. (It usually takes 10-12 minutes to settle back out). 5) Is "Steady State" in reference to licensed thermal power defined at your plant? YES J. E.

Plan of the Day example
by POHL, MATTHEW H 10 Jul '07

10 Jul '07

Afternoon everyone... This is a strange request for a great bunch of Nukes but I believe this is an effective tool to locate some e-benchmark information we are in need of. Specifically, Fort Calhoun is requesting example of your "Plan of the Day" and/or "Operations Focus" type reports that are typically discussed with management at the beginning of the day. We are revamping our format and I'm curious if Reactivity Mgmt issues, etc... make the list in addition to Safety and Human Performance Tips, etc... If you can send me an example of your report (and or procedure), it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance from an old RE buddy... :-) Matt Pohl Executive Assistant - CNO Fort Calhoun Nuclear Station (402)533-6820 (work) (402)658-1091 (cell) This e-mail contains Omaha Public Power District's confidential and proprietary information and is for use only by the intended recipient.

Special Nuclear Material (Best Practices)
by WILLETT, JOSEPH E 24 May '07

24 May '07

RE Supervisors, After the Recent MC& A Inspections by the NRC, and with the ANSI standard for SNM control being in process to be issued and endorsed by the NRC, we at Fort Calhoun Station would like to get a list of HOW you perform the following activities, Remember the ANSI Standard gives us a minimum to meet. I would like to generate a BEST practice list for all to be able to reference. 1) Physical Inventories 2) Fuel Handling process controls (Move sheets, Tag boards, Oversight, Map Updates) 3) Control of Non-Fuel Items (SNM and Non-SNM) within Spent Fuel Pools 4) SNM self assessments, 5) Roles and Responsibilities (RE, QA, Oversight) 6) Reporting to NMMSS 7) Control of Orphaned Fuel pins (and pieces) 8) Definition of Book record and its controls If there are any items I have missed or you think should be on the list, please reply with the addition. Please provide copies of your controlling and implementing procedures, and identify what you think is your best practice. Once the list is compiled and consolidated, I will distribute it for all of us to benefit. Thanks in advance for your help J. E. Willett ---------------------------------------------------- Joseph E.

Rod Control Blocking Diode Removal
by Michael.Fanguy＠dom.com 07 May '07

Surry is planning on implementing Westinghouse TB-00-003-R0 (Stationary/Movable Gripper Blocking Diodes) in our next outages. For plants who have removed blocking diodes from Rod Control, did you see increases in rod drop times? Were they in order with the 10 msec stated in the Tech Bulletin? If not what was the increase?
