Zinc Injection and CIPS/AOA
by Gore, Duane 08 Aug '06

08 Aug '06

South Texas is contemplating performing zinc injection to reduce crud and doses. However, as a high duty plant, we are also worried about kicking off CIPS/AOA. Up to now, we have not had this phenomenon - and I'd like to stay away from it. I would like to get the reactor engineers' take on (1) your opinion on zinc injection v CIPS (2) if your plant has performed Zn injection, a. what consideration was given to potential CIPS issues? b. what has been your experience with the core? (3) If your plant has decided not to pursue Zn injection, what were the reasons (was CIPS a factor)? Thank you for your response.

Surry Reactivity Management Self Assessment Additional Questions
by Michael_Fanguy＠dom.com 02 Aug '06

02 Aug '06

Surry Operations and Reactor Engineering departments are performing a Self Assessment on our Reactivity Management program this week. An email survey was recently sent out in support of this SA. Our thanks go out to all those that responded. We also have a few follow up questions. If it would be possible, please respond to these few questions within the next 2 days to James_Shell(a)dom.com. Again thanks for your participation in our Self Assessment! 1. What is the content of reactivity plans covered at your Ops shift brief? (i.e. do they discuss how much water they plan to add during the shift, rod motion predicted, etc..) 2. If they deviate from said plan what actions are necessary (i.e. contact Shift Manager, Reactor Engineer, STA, etc...or would it just be between the SRO and RO) 3. Would they only elevate it to Reactor Engineering if the deviation was significant, or would they call you for any change at all regardless of how small? Please respond to: James_Shell(a)dom.com James D. Shell Reactor Engineering Surry Power Station Office: 757-365-2865 Fax: 757-365-2750 Michael J.

Thanks Clint. Sounds similar to Jaime's response at ANO. With our purchase by Entergy, I think we will start pursuing using RHOBAL for upcoming cycles, just need to figure out how to get through this cycle.

Subject: [Respvr] Xenon prediction tools Palisades has utilized a xenon prediction tool called XENSAM since the mid-90's. This program was obtained from another plant at the time so we do not have detailed basis information on the program. As such, we are challenged in continuing to use XENSAM and meet the SOER 03-2 Rec. 4 items and have discontinued its use until we can meet those recommendations or implement another predictive tool. Please respond to the following questions. 1) What predictive tool(s) do you use for transient xenon conditions and is it separate from your primary core monitoring program? 2) Does Operations have access to this tool, or is it strictly controlled by Reactor Engineering? 3) Have you implemented the SOER 03-2 recommendation 4 items related to this tool? Your quick response to these questions would be appreciated. Thank you, Brad Berles System Engineering Manager Palisades Nuclear Plant 269-764-2761
