  • AP-lO (NC SYSTEM LEAKAGE WITHIN THE CAPACITY OF BOTH NV PUMPS), Case I (STEAM GENERATOR TUBE LEAKAGE) has been implemented
  • Plant load is reduced using AP-04 (RAPID DOWNPOWER), and manually tripped at 15% power

Subsequently:

  • NCS Pressure is 2210 PSIG, and slowly DECREASING
  • The crew arrives at Step 23.a of ES-0.1 and is directed to Maintain Pzr pressure AT 2235 PSIG
  • Simultaneously, the crew arrives at Step 18.a of AP-lO and is directed to Depressurize to between 1900-1 955 PSIG using normal Pzr spray.
