Beaver Valley response:
There was an INPO webcast on November 27, 2007 for SOER 07-1. Many utilities participated and the question of what is considered low power operation for an extended period of time was discussed. INPO indicated extended operation was greater than 12 hours at less than 20% reactor power during the webcast. That is what we have incorporated for FirstEnergy (Beaver Valley, Davis-Besse, and Perry).

Please respond to RE Supervisors <respvr@retaqs.co m>
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
