- Evaluations concluded that all components are acceptable as originally designed for full-cycle operation at full EPU thermal power with the following exceptions:
ERV susceptibility to vibration at QC required upgrades of vulnerable parts
- Target Rock Safety/Relief Valves (S/RVs) showed vibration wear degradation at both Dresden (DR) and QC
- The team identified additional recommendations for enhancements in testing, monitoring, and refueling outage inspections
- An example is confirmatory vibration testing of Limitorque and Namco limit switches (completed successfully) 6

Startup Test Plan Approach Nuclear
- Power will be raised to OLTP level over a 3.5-day period Data will be taken at 33 Test Conditions (TCs) to this point
- Three levels of Acceptance Criteria evaluated at each power level:
- Plant Equipment Acceptance Limits: Normal alarm points or established equipment operating limitations based upon historical performance data
- Level 2 Criteria: Not necessarily alter plant operation or test plan but will initiate an Issue Report (IR)
- Level 1 Criteria: Initiate an IR and seek immediate resolution; repeat test portion to verify Level 1 can be satisfied; documented resolution within the test procedure (Examples: dryer strain gauges and moisture carryover)
- Will have Acceptance Criteria for dryer measurements (Go/No-Go decision)

Startup Test Plan Approach (cont.)
Exek(5n.
Nuclear Planned data measurements 42 dryer sensors recorded on GE data acquisition system (DAS) 3 reactor steam dome pressure sensors and 4 pressure measurements at the MSL flow venturis recorded on high speed recorders
- 4 control valve positions recorded on high speed recorder
- 56 strain gauges on MSLs in drywell/heater bay recorded on DAS
- 33 accelerometers on MSLs in drywell recorded on tape drives System equipment parameters recorded by computer points and by Operator rounds (approximately 1 000 data points)
Hand held measurements for vibration levels and local temperatures 16
Startup Test Plan E lo Dryer Acceptance Nuclear The dryer will have four Acceptance Criteria:
Criterion A - Dryer strain gauges indicate that the peak dryer stress levels have reached ASME Fatigue Curve "B" (16,500 psi)
Criterion B - Dryer strain gauges indicate that the peak dryer stress levels have reached 10,800 psi for outside dryer components, or 13,600 psi for inside dryer components Criterion C - Six pressure gauges on the steam dryer (actual plant pressure data) will be compared to two load case frequencies and amplitudes; load cases are the SMT and QC2 data from power accession to EPU power levels in August 2004 Criterion D - If less than the minimum number of strain gauges are functioning, then accelerometer criteria will be used as a backup 17
Startup Test Plan Dryer Acceptance (cont.)
Exek(5ns.
Nuclear
- Criterion C will be implemented above 2511 MWt and whe the strain gauges reach 50% of Criterion A
- In addition, strain gauge and accelerometer results will be trended during power ascension based on direct readings and FFT analysis
- Moisture carryover will be sampled and trended during the approach to full power; the dryer design criterion of 0.1%
will be a Level 1 Criterion n

- Execute Startup Test Plan Expect to be at full pre-EPU power (2511 MWt) - May 21 Expect to reach full EPU power (2957 MWt or 930 MWe) - May 23
- Operate at this level 5 - 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> to collect data Return to 912 MWe - May 24 Confirm acoustic circuit analysis results demonstrate reasonable loads
- Confirm dryer qualification through FEA of instrumented dryer pressure gauge information
- Operate remainder of cycle at 912 MWe
- Within any limitations identified during startup test
- Continue to monitor strain gauge data throughout the cycle as thermal power increases due to environmental factors to confirm dryer stress is bound by predictions 24
QC2 Operational Plan Basis Exe kbni.
Nuclear Rigorous steam dryer qualification provides confidence in integrity at EPU operation Design philosophy that minimizes FIV susceptibility Diverse loads applied to conservatively bound uncertainty
- QC1 SMT
- QC2 In-plant loads Diverse and comprehensive FEMs conservatively bound analysis uncertainty
- Solid models
- Weld evaluations Load frequency sensitivity analysis to address model uncertainties
- Each model run with nominal and +/- 10% shift in time step Hammer test reduces uncertainty in as-built dryer frequency and damping 25
QC2 Operational Plan Basis (cont.) Exekrns.
Nuclear Startup test plan Instrumented dryer data to confirm analysis load inputs (e.g., frequency and amplitude)
Dryer strain gauge data to confirm stress levels remain bounded by predictions MSL strain gauges will be used to confirm acoustic circuit loads are reasonable Dryer data will be trended to address unexpected change in key monitored parameters (e.g., pressure and strain)
If Criteria A are exceeded, power will be reduced 26

- Startup test plan (cont.)
- Monitoring of reactor parameters for timely identification of issues
- Other plant equipment will also be monitored to identify adverse conditions (e.g., ERVs, Target Rock S/RV, B MSL, B MSIV, High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) valve actuator)
- Moisture carryover 27

Nuclear Operational Plans for QC1 and Bases Roman Gesior Director - Asset Management 29
QC1 Operational Plan ExeOns.
Nuclear
- Outage to replace steam dryer expected last week of May 2005 Outage duration expect to be -6 days
- Expect to execute a startup test plan similar to QC2 without dryer instrumentation Power ascension to 912 MWe
- No dryer instrumentation installed MSL strain gauges will be installed to confirm, using acoustic circuit analysis, that dryer loads remain reasonable
- Power operation for remainder of cycle at 912 MWe if no limitations identified during startup test or from QC2 instrumented dryer results 30
QC1 Operational Plan Basis Exe InSM Nuclear dryer qualification is equally as robust as QC2
- QC1
- Same design as QC2
- No evidence that QC1 loads are greater than QC2
- SMT loads obtained with QC1 configuration
- Acoustic circuit analysis will be performed to confirm dryer loads are consistent with those used in FEA
- Acoustic circuit analysis method will be evaluated during startup testing of QC2 31

Regulatory Commitments Exek(n Nuclear EGC will evaluate the AC model using the MSL strain gauge data without bias from the QC2 instrumented dryer test data, and take appropriate action in response to the application of the test results to the DNPS dryers.

EGC will meet with the NRC technical staff in late June 2005 to discuss:
Results of the collected QC2 instrumented dryer data evaluations, Results of SMT of the QC1 steam dryer, and The decision and its basis regarding SMT of the D2 and D3 dryers.
