Ramp rates with and with out leaking fuel assemblies
by Delk, Whiting S. 18 May '06

18 May '06

Please provide your PWR fuel duty limitations (both sound and leaking fuel, increasing and decreasing power, etc.). No leaking Fuel/Start up after refueling: Ramp rate up and Power break points at which ramp rate changs. No leaking fuel Normal Operations: Ramp rate down. Ramp rate (and break points) return to RTP. Restrictions on Ramp rates with Leaking Fuel: Ramp rate down. Ramp rate (and break points) return to RTP. Thanks for your assistance. I will repackage and send to responders. Thanks for your valuable time. Whiting S. Delk Reactor Engineering Supervisor Watts Bar Nuclear Plant

Not applicable to Waterford. South Texas had some thimble issues that may be applicable. BWRs have this problem, think in their box. I have some contacts if you need it.

Morning Whiting, We only require FHS/SRO for "Refueling Operations" (e.g. fuel moves within the vessel, see our Tech Spec definition below) and for heavy loads (e.g. Head Removal) over the reactor vessel if it contains fuel. "Refueling Operation Any operation involving the shuffling, removal, or replacement of irradiated fuel outside of the reactor pressure vessel. The suspension of any REFUELING OPERATION shall not preclude completion of movement of a component to a safe, conservative position." We will be moving fuel out of the Spent Fuel Pool into Casks in a few weeks and I have the Shift Manager authorizing the activity and independently verifying some Tech Specs requirements but there is no requirement for a FHS/SRO.

Xe-133/135 also increased. This occurred at steady state, full power conditions - no opportunity for washout from an existing failed rod. We are puzzled by the lack of cesium as all our models indicate that it should be present when the iodine increase occurred.
