Palo Verde Existing Strategy (4 hr Coping)
Existing Analysis
- Assumes 120 GPM RCS Leak Rate
- Uses ADVs for Heat Removal
- Start GTG Within 1 hr
- Load EW/SP/EC/HVAC/Battery Chargers
- Establish Charging for Inventory Control
- Maintain Hot Standby Using ADVs
- Remain @ Hot Standby for the Following 3 Hours

( Cor (16 hr Coping Credited Future Strategy
- Revised Analysis
- Assume 83 GPM RCS Leak Rate
- Minimize Operator Action During 1St hr
- Start GTG, Within 1 hr
- Load EW/SP/EC/HVAC/Battery Chargers
- Use ADV for Heat Removal
- Use HPSI for RCS Inventory Control
- Uses Pressurizer Vent for Pressure Control
- Cool Down to SDC Condition in 16 hrs
