Mid Cycle EPU Implementation Impacts -All pre-constant power pressure uprate (CPPU) implementation modifications can bepre-installed or installed on line with the exception of one modification. -Current Technical Specifications will not support operation with the Standby LiquidControl (SLC) Modifications. -An outage is required for implementation of SLC Modifications:
- 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> limiting condition for operation (LCO) does not support draining and refilling boron storage tank.
- 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> LCO does not support implementation of pump logic hardware changes.
- Hardware implementation of pump logic changes in operating panels puts operating unit at risk of a transient. -Other analytic require Pennsylvania Power Light to perform additionalanalysis which the NRC would need to review. -Early approval of SLC Technical Specification changes would facilitate a smoothmid-cycle implementation of CPPU without the need for an additional outage. -A mid-cycle implementation outage during peak demand has large financial implications. -Operation with CPPU rated (HP) turbine results in a MWe loss at operation creating additional financial implications. -PPL Pre-Outage Decision Points
- SLC Modification Installation based on projected receipt of Technical Specifications.
- HP Turbine installation based on CPPU submittal review progress.
