12.2 All required personnel are on station.

I Verified by Date / / '

i h - 12.3 All fuel and insert moves will be directed from the Refueling Control Center in the following manner.

'! 1. The Recommended Move List will be used as a move sequencing guide to refueling.

2. Deviations in the Recommended Move List sequence are permitted and i altamate locations may be utilized as temporary locations provided the l j following are observed:

t A. Sources, or fuel assemblies meeting the minimum bumup requirements of 9.8.1 RX-A10, RX Y10 (PSL 1) or RX-A10, RX-Y12

(PSL 2) If required, will be located in before any other fuel moves are permitted, j B. Movement of an assembly is in accordance with the Fuel Assembly
Storage Table (F.A.S.T.).
C. Verify that the mast orientation is correct to support the new move.

D. Verify that as a result of removing an assembly, no other assemblies become free standing, i

El Verify that inserting an assembly into a new location in the core and ungrappling it would not cause it to be a free standing assembly.

F1 Verify that moving an assembly into a spent fuel Rack does not violate spent fuel pool region requirements or funnel requirements.

jj H. If the deviation does affect the FRG approved Final Core Loading l Pattom, reactivity conservatism shall be ensured and FRG

J re approval obtained prior to core verification.
3. The Refueling Control'Conter will inform the station conducting the move

j is to be moved and changes in Refueling Machine mast orientadon if required.

l

' operator's convenience a Fuel Movement Log sim8ar to that provided in this procedure will be provided for recording the instruedons transmitted by the Refueling Control Center.

y 12.4 Refueling Control Center. Operating Personnel Responsibilities J l1 \

l 1. Coordinate the movement of all fuel and core -.w.ents. Refer to

Appendices C and D for insert and CEA transfer guidance.

3 , 2. Receive notification of core component movement and acknowledge j such notification by core component serial number (s), originating location, present location, core coordinates, and onentation of the i Refueling Machine mast.

3. Verify Bridge and Trolley coordinates (hoist position upon insertion of a fuel assembly) stated by Refueling Machine Operator are valid for the core coordinates in the refueling sequence ,for the appropriate step, record on the Fuel Movement Log.

f; 4. Track completion of each transfer by filling out the Fuel Movement Log.

The Fuel Movement Log will then be used by Reactor Engineering to

! com, Mete Appendix B, the final fuel transfer. sequence at the conclusion of the fuel move, then update the Fuel Status Magnet Board.
