BVPS-2 UFSAR Rev. 0 14.1-1 CHAPTER 14 INITIAL TEST PROGRAM 14.1 SPECIFIC INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN PRELIMINARY SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT

This section is not applicable; Section 14.2 covers the specific information for the Final Safety Analysis Report.

BVPS-2 UFSAR Rev. 0 14.2-1 14.2 START-UP AND TEST PROGRAM 14.2.1 Summary of Test Program and Objectives

The Beaver Valley Power Station - Unit 2 (BVPS-2) Start-up and Test Program was established to administratively and technically control all testing activities, commencing with construction completion and ending with Power Level Escalation Testing. This test program was applied to all safety-related structures, systems, and components, and was in compliance with the basic intent of Regulatory Guide 1.68 "Initial Test Program for Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants".

The Start-up and Test Program provided properly documented assurance that the plant's safety-related structures, systems, and components will operate in compliance with their design criteria and in a manner that does not endanger the health and safety of the public, plant personnel, or plant equipment.

To the extent practicable, plant operating and emergency procedures were tested and evaluated during the execution of this program. The Start-up and Test Program also assisted in the training of the plant operating and maintenance personnel by providing them with hands-on experience in the operation and maintenance of plant equipment utilizing plant procedures.

To facilitate a systematic approach in conducting the Start-up and Test Program, the program was divided into three major phases: 1)

Start-up Proof Test, 2) Pre-operational Test, and 3) Initial Start-up Test.

14.2.1.1 Start-up Proof Test Phase The Start-up Proof Test Phase began with pre-installation testing of instrumentation and/or installation of components as construction of the individual structures, systems, and components neared completion. The prime objective of this phase was to

verify that construction activities associated with the respective structure, system, or components were completed and documented.

The testing requirements associated with this phase verified installation integrity and component and system functional characteristics, and ensured that the system, structures, and components were ready for the Pre-operational Test Phase. Start-up proof tests, in general, included Instrument Calibration, Electrical Continuity and Megger Checks, Pump and Motor Rotation, Vibration Checks, and Hydrostatic Testing, Cleaning, and Flushing.

14.2.1.2 Pre-operational Test Phase The Pre-operational Test Phase normally commenced after Start-up Proof Testing on individual components and systems or subsystems was completed. This phase included the tests required to demonstrate BVPS-2 UFSAR Rev. 0 14.2-2 that structures, systems, and components performed satisfactorily and that they were ready to support fuel loading and Initial Start-up Testing Phase. In general, it was expected that the majority of tests performed during the pre-operational

test phase would be completed before fuel loading. However, in some cases it was necessary to defer certain pre-operational test phases until after fuel loading. In such cases, sufficient testing was performed prior to fuel loading to provide reasonable assurance that the post-loading tests would be successful.

During the conduct of the Pre-operational Test Phase, two types of tests were performed: Pre-operational Tests and System Operability Verification (SOV) Tests. The Pre-operational Tests were tests performed on safety-related structures, systems, or components in accordance with the intent of Section XI of Appendix B of 10 CFR 50. The SOV Tests were tests performed on structures, systems, or components which were not classified as safety-related. Although these two types of tests were similar in scope, the administrative processing of the tests and results may be different.

Although it was initially intended to perform all of the SOV Tests listed in Section 14.2.12, at the discretion of the Joint Test Group (JTG) some of these tests were deleted or only

performed in part. Additionally, where test methods, system conditions and configurations were equivalent and with prior approval of the System Test Supervisor, portions of tests performed under the Start-up Proof Test Phase whose test results met the applicable acceptance criteria may have been substituted for applicable portions of Pre-operational Test Phase test

procedures.

Where practicable, testing during the Pre-operational Testing Phase was performed under conditions similiar to those experienced during normal operations. Tests for which these conditions were not available or could not be simulated were performed to the extent possible without these conditions. The remainder of the tests were performed when the required parameters became available.

Many system tests were conducted as part of Pre-operational and SOV Tests that lent themselves to operator training. Plant

operating personnel obtained hands-on experience during testing of these systems in accordance with the general direction provided in the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (USNRC)

NUREG-0737. Use of operating procedures is described in Section 14.2.9.

14.2.1.3 Initial Start-up Test Phase The Initial Start-up Phase of the Start-up and Test Program commenced with the preparation for fuel load and extended through operation at rated power and warranty demonstrations. The Initial Start-up Test Phase was divided into three periods:

1) Fuel Loading Testing, 2) Post-Loading Testing, and 3) Criticality Testing. Testing performed during this phase of the program was to ensure that fuel BVPS-2 UFSAR Rev. 0 14.2-3 loading was accomplished in a safe manner, confirm the plant nuclear design basis, demonstrate that the plant could withstand anticipated transients and postulated accidents, and ensure that the plant could be safely brought to sustained rated power

operation and also could be safely shutdown.

2. Review and approval of changes or revisions to JTG approved test procedures when the changes or revisions

affected the scope of the test.

3. Review and approval of the overall test schedule and sequence.

4. Review and recommended approval of Pre-operational, SOV, and Initial Start-up Test results.

5. Recommended retests or supplemental tests as required.

6. Approved other documents as required.

The JTG consisted of qualified representatives from DLC, SWEC, and Westinghouse, as appropriate. The JTG functioned in the capacity described until DLC formally accepted BVPS-2 for commercial operation. At that time, the responsibilities of the JTG were assumed by DLC.

As noted in Section 14.2.3.2, the Onsite Safety Committee (OSC) reviewed and approved all tests involving reactivity control systems or engineered safeguard systems following initiation of fuel loading.

14.2.2.1.7 Procedure Review Committee (PRC)

The PRC was composed of qualified personnel from the various BVPS-2 Start-up Group Sections. These sections included: Systems Testing, Start-up Proof, Support Services, Operations and Maintenance and Materials Sections. The PRC functioned as

the Unit Review Group BVPS-2 UFSAR Rev. 0 14.2-9 until approximately 90 days prior to the fuel load when the BVPS-2 PRC and the BVPS-1 Onsite Safety Committee (OSC) merged. Subsequent to JTG review and approval the PRC reviewed all procedures that were performed (in part or in total) after fuel load. The primary objective of this review was to verify that the performance of the procedure would not jeopardize personnel or plant safety. Additionally, the PRC reviewed: applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978; all changes or modifications to BVPS-2 systems or equipment on which Pre-operational testing was completed and which affected nuclear safety; and Start-up Manuals and revisions. The PRC also performed special reviews, investigations or analysis as required by the Superintendent -

Operations and Maintenance.

14.2.2.1.8 Qualification of Personnel

The staffing and qualifications of the BVPS Plant Staff were detailed in Chapter 13. The minimum qualifications of all personnel actively engaged in testing activities during the Start-up Proof Test Phase were in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.58, "Qualification of Nuclear Power Plants Inspection, Examination, and Testing Personnel." The minimum qualifications of supervisory personnel involved in the Pre-operational and Initial Start-up Test Phases (for safety-related tests only)

were in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.8, "Personnel Selection and Training."

14.2.3 Test Procedures In general, testing during all phases of the Initial Start-up and Test Program was conducted using approved procedures to control the conduct of each test. These test procedures included appropriate methods to control test performance (including as necessary the sequencing of testing), specify acceptance criteria by which the test would be evaluated, and provide for or specify the format by which data or

observations would be recorded. The SOV tests were performed on structures, systems, or components which were not classified as safety-related. Although SOV tests were similar in scope to

pre-operational tests performed on safety-related items, the administrative processing of SOV tests and test results sometimes differed. Preparation, review, and approval of procedures used during the Start-up Proof, Pre-operational, and Initial Start-up Test Phases were governed by detailed administrative procedures.

14.2.3.1 Start-up Proof Test Procedures

Documents, drawings, specifications and procedures related to the Start-up Proof Test Phase were prepared, reviewed, and approved in accordance with DLC Start-up Manual and the BVPS-2

Project Manual. Start-up Proof Test procedures and instructions which implement the preceding engineering documents were prepared, reviewed and approved in accordance with DLC Start-up

Group administrative procedures.

BVPS-2 UFSAR Rev. 0 14.2-10 14.2.3.2 Pre-operations, System Operability Verification, and Initial Start-up Test Procedures Usually, Pre-operational and Initial Start-up Test Procedures were initially drafted by SWEC engineers in accordance with the various regulatory requirements and/or design specifications generated by SWEC or by Westinghouse. These procedures were also prepared on site by DLC's Systems Software Development and Post Core Load Testing Groups at the direction of the respective group's supervisor. Draft test procedures prepared by SWEC were submitted to the BVPS-2 Start-up Group for review and comment, whereas draft procedures prepared by DLC were normally reviewed by SWEC engineers. System Operability Verification Tests drafted by DLC were not normally sent to SWEC for review. In all cases, however, review comments were resolved and/or incorporated and the resulting revised copies of the test procedures were submitted to the BVPS-2 JTG for review and comment.

JTG reviewed the procedures and its comments were forwarded for resolution and incorporation. The procedure was then issued in final form for JTG approval. The JTG reviewed and approved all Pre-operational, SOV and Initial Start-up Test procedures. At the JTG's discretion, some of the SOV tests were deleted or only performed in part. Draft test procedures were prepared, reviewed, and approved in accordance with approved administrative procedures. Until approximately 90 days before fuel load, procedures which were to be performed (in total or in part) after fuel load were reviewed by the PRC subsequent to the JTG review and approval.

Additionally, when fuel loading in the reactor vessel commenced, it was required for the OSC to review and approve all tests involving reactivity control systems or engineered safeguards subsequent to the JTG approval. This review dealt with the scheduling of the tests, the test procedures, and the test evaluations. The OSC determined on an individual case basis whether review by the Offsite Review Committee (ORC) was required. The OSC was defined in Chapter 13.

14.2.3.2.1 Procedure Format The format used for Pre-operational, SOV, and Initial Start-up

Tests was defined as follows:

1. Cover Page - This page provided a descriptive title, issue date, identifying number, revision number, and

an approval signature section.

2. Purpose of the Test - This section provided a brief statement of the objective of the test and/or the reason for performing the test including an indication

Guides, equipment specifications, etc.

BVPS-2 UFSAR Rev. 0 14.2-11 3. General Test Method - This section provided a brief description of the test method and the manner in which the test would be performed. The description indicated the extent of nonstandard or temporary arrangements required by this procedure or test. This description was not a step-by-step procedure, but it was in sufficient detail to allow the reader to

understand how the test was to be conducted.

4. Special Test Equipment - This section provided a list of the test equipment required to obtain the necessary test data or to perform the test. Details included as appropriate or applicable: the quantity, range, calibration requirements, cleanliness, and accuracy.

5. Prerequisites - This section provided a list of items, events, or actions that must be completed prior to the start of a test.

6. Initial Conditions - This section provided a description of plant conditions and/or instructions pertaining to the configuration of the components, system, or structure and supporting systems at the beginning of the test.

7. Precautions and Limitations - This section provided a list of the precautions to be taken before, during, and after the performance of the test to provide for the safety of personnel and equipment. As applicable, this section identified maximum and minimum set points that may damage equipment or affect personnel safety, limitations that may be approached, personnel protective apparel and devices, and any restrictions on components or personnel conduct pertaining to the

test.

8. Procedure - This section provided concise step-by-step instructions to the testing personnel on how to conduct the test. It also indicated when data were recorded, which specific instruments were read, and the frequency of recording data. For procedures which were anticipated to be performed only once, the data sheets were sometimes located in the back of the procedure, or data were recorded within this section.

This section may specify temporary plant changes necessary to conduct the test and specify the requirements for returning the plant to normal configuration.

9. Acceptance Criteria - This section listed the qualitative and/or quantitative acceptance criteria against which the success or failure of the test was

judged.

10. References - This section listed all pertinent sources of information considered necessary for the successful completion of the test.

BVPS-2 UFSAR Rev. 0 14.2-12 11. Data Sheets - This section provided data sheets for recording of required data for tests that are of a periodic nature or where the required data were too extensive to be included in the procedure section

noted previously.

14.2.4 Conduct of Test Program

The BVPS-2 Start-up and Test Program was conducted in accordance with approved administrative procedures. These procedures

establish the following administrative control mechanisms relative to each phase of the program:

1. Controls to govern the preparation, review, revision, and approval of test procedures.

2. Controls to ensure prerequisites were satisfied for each phase and for individual tests.

3. Controls to ensure plant modifications and maintenance required as a result of testing were initiated.

4. Controls to ensure retesting after plant modification or maintenance was completed.

5. Controls to ensure compliance with approved test procedures.

6. Controls for qualification of personnel.

7. Controls for tagging procedures.

14.2.4.1 Startup Proof Test Phase

Responsibilities and controls for testing safety-related equipment during this phase were delineated in the DLC Start-up Manual. Procedures conforming to the requirements of this

manual detailed the test objectives and prerequisites, the testing method, and the method utilized in documenting test results. Testing during this phase was the responsibility of

the Start-up Proof Test Section and was subject to audit as established by the DLC Quality Assurance Program.

14.2.4.2 Pre-operational and Initial Start-up Test Phase During the Pre-operational Test Phase the systems and equipment were normally under the jurisdictional control of the Start-up Group. Procedures were coordinated such that a section of a test was not performed until the prerequisites to that section

were verified as complete. Pre-operational and SOV Test Procedures were released for performance by the JTG. This mechanism offered assurance that the system was ready for

testing, and that the procedure to be used was current.

BVPS-2 UFSAR Rev. 0 14.2-13 Approval for fuel loading was forthcoming after a review of the test program to date indicated that the unit was prepared for Initial Start-up Testing. At this time, the OSC exercised test review and approval responsibilities, subsequent to JTG, for all tests involving reactivity control. Individual Initial Start-up Tests specified prerequisites that must be validated prior to performance. Each operating shift had a required complement of licensed senior reactor and reactor operators who were responsible for operation of the unit during Initial Start-up Testing.

14.2.4.3 Test Procedure Revisions

Tests were conducted in accordance with approved procedures, but, when necessary, procedures were revised to complete testing. Such revisions were documented on a special test

revision form. There were two types of test procedure revisions which were made: those which had no effect on the intent of the test, and those which altered the intent of the test. If, during Pre-operational, SOV, or Initial Start-up Testing, a revision was required which did not alter the intent of the test, approval of the revision was authorized by the Individual

in charge of the particular test and by the on-shift operations supervisor or applicable Senior Test Engineer.

Revisions to approved Pre-operational, SOV, or Initial Start-up Test procedures which altered the intent of the test were authorized by the JTG and/or the OSC as appropriate. The JTG and/or the OSC authorization of revisions to approved test procedures was obtained in accordance with telecon as required.

14.2.4.4 Control of Rework, Modifications, and Repairs During the Start-up and Test Program, a listing of outstanding work items was maintained. This listing was maintained to ensure that work items identified during the test program were resolved. Typical listed work items included:

1. Incomplete or incorrect equipment installation,

2. Equipment repairs (corrective maintenance), and

3. Approved facility modifications.

This work was performed by the construction organization, the plant maintenance staff, or a contract organization in accordance with approved administrative procedures. In any event, in order to maintain the required controls, formal authorization was required to perform the work. This authorization was provided through the implementation of the appropriate DLC Construction Department or Operations Start-up Group administrative procedures. Following completion of the required work, the Construction Start-up Group, the JTG, and/or the OSC determined the amount of retesting which was required.

BVPS-2 UFSAR Rev. 0 14.2-14 14.2.5 Review, Evaluation, and Approval of Test Results Upon completion of a Pre-operational, SOV, or Initial Start-up Test, a qualified engineer responsible for that test reviewed and evaluated the test data for completeness and evaluated the test results to ensure that they met the acceptance criteria. The test engineer prepared a test report summarizing the testing and results obtained. This test report, along with required supporting test data, was approved by the JTG for Pre-operational and SOV Tests. Additionally, for those tests involving reactivity control systems or engineered safeguards systems, OSC review was required following initiation of fuel loading. These initial startup tests results receive final

approval by the Plant Manager/Designee.

Prior to initial fuel load and commencement of Initial Start-up Testing, a comprehensive review of the Pre-operational Test Phase was conducted by the JTG and the OSC to provide assurance that plant systems and structures were capable of supporting initial fuel load and subsequent testing. Structures, systems, and components not completely tested prior to fuel load were identified, and the appropriate tests were rescheduled for after

fuel loading.

Each period of Initial Start-up Testing (fuel loading, post loading, and criticality testing) was reviewed and evaluated by the OSC prior to starting testing in the succeeding period. The test results of each Power Level Escalation testing power

plateau were reviewed, evaluated, and approved by the Director of Site Testing and Plant Performance before proceeding to the next test plateau.

3. Pertinent operating experiences from similar power plants for at least 2 years prior to the start of BVPS-2 Construction Start-up Testing, and

4. Vendor information notices.

14.2.9 Trial Use of Plant Operating and Emergency Procedures

The schedule for preparation, review, and approval of plant operating and emergency procedures was specified in Chapter 13.

This schedule provided sufficient time for confirming procedure adequacy by trial use during the Initial Start-up and Test Program. Procedures that did not require nuclear power operation were confirmed, to the extent practicable, during the Pre-operational Test Phase. Procedures that required nuclear power operation were confirmed to the extent practicable during the Initial Start-up Test Phase. During the Pre-operational Test Phase, controlled draft copies of the operating and emergency procedures were sometimes used.

Test procedures used these operating and emergency procedures in several ways: 1) the test procedure may reference the procedure

directly, 2) the test procedure may extract a series of steps from the procedure, or 3) the test procedure may use a combination of these methods.

14.2.10 Initial Fuel Loading and Initial Criticality

Fuel loading began when required Pre-operational Testing was completed and approved by the JTG and the OSC. Upon completion of fuel loading, the reactor upper internals and pressure vessel head were installed, and additional mechanical and electrical tests were performed. The purpose of this phase of activities was to prepare the plant for nuclear operation and to establish that all design requirements necessary for operation were achieved. The core-loading and post-loading tests are described as follows:

14.2.10.1 Fuel Loading

The reactor containment structure was to be completed, and containment integrity shall be established and maintained during fuel loading.

Fuel handling tools and equipment was to be checked, and dry runs conducted in the use of operation equipment.

The reactor vessel and associated components was to be in a state of readiness to receive fuel. Water level was to be

maintained above

BVPS-2 UFSAR Rev. 0 14.2-17 the bottom of the nozzles and recirculation maintained to ensure a uniform boron concentration. Boron concentration could be increased via the residual heat removal system or directly to the open vessel.

The overall responsibility and direction for initial core loading was exercised by station management with technical

assistance provided by Westinghouse.

Those activities described in Sections 14.2.12.2.5, 14.2.12.2.15 and 14.2.12.2.17 were accomplished jointly by Westinghouse and the Duquesne Light Company Beaver Valley Refueling Group and were not considered to be part of the testing program. These

activities were subject to administrative controls governing fueling activities. Procedures were reviewed by the Duquesne Light Company Refueling Group, Duquesne Light Company Operations Quality Control and the Onsite Safety Committee/Procedures Review Committee. The procedures then were approved by the Plant Manager/designee.

The overall process of initial core loading was, in general, supervised from the operating floor of the containment structure by a licensed senior reactor operator with no other concurrent duties. Procedures for the control of personnel and maintenance of containment integrity were established prior to fuel loading.

The as-loaded core configuration was specified as part of the core design studies conducted well in advance of fuel loading, and as such was not subject to change at start-up. In the event that mechanical damage was sustained during core loading operations to a fuel assembly of a type for which no spare is available onsite, an alternate core loading scheme was to be determined. Any such changes were approved by appropriate DLC and Westinghouse personnel.

The core was assembled in the reactor vessel, submerged in primary grade water containing enough dissolved boric acid to maintain a calculated core effective multiplication factor (K eff) of 0.90 or lower. The refueling cavity was dry during initial core loading. Core moderator chemistry conditions (particularly boron concentration) were prescribed in the core loading procedures and were verified periodically by chemical analysis of moderator samples taken prior to and during core

loading operations.

Core loading instrumentation consisted of two permanently

installed source range (pulse type) nuclear channels and two temporary incore source range channels plus a third temporary channel which could be used as a spare. The permanent channels were monitored in the main control room by licensed reactor operators; the temporary channels were installed in the containment structure and were monitored by reactor engineering personnel and licensed reactor operators. At least one permanent channel was equipped with an audible count rate indicator. Both permanent channels had the capability of displaying the neutron flux level on a strip chart recorder.

The temporary channels indicate on rate meters with a minimum of one channel

BVPS-2 UFSAR Rev. 0 14.2-18 recorded on a strip chart recorder. Minimum count rates of two counts per second, attributable to core neutrons, were required on at least two of the four (that is, two temporary and two permanent source range detectors) available nuclear source range channels at all times following installation of the initial nucleus of eight fuel assemblies.

At least two artificial neutron sources were introduced into the core at specified points in the core loading program to ensure a minimum neutron population equivalent to two counts per second.

Fuel assemblies, together with inserted components (control rod assemblies, burnable poison inserts, and source spider or thimble plugging devices) were placed in the reactor vessel one at a time according to a previously established and approved sequence which was developed to provide reliable core monitoring with minimum possibility of core mechanical damage. The core loading procedures prescribed and verified successive movements of each fuel assembly and its specified inserts from its initial position in the storage racks to its final position in the core.

Checks were made of component serial numbers, types, and orientation at successive transfer points to guard against possible inadvertent exchanges or substitutions of components, and fuel assembly status boards were maintained through the core loading operation.

An initial nucleus of eight fuel assemblies, the first of which contained an activated neutron source, was the minimum source-

fuel nucleus which permited subsequent meaningful inverse count rate monitoring. This initial nucleus was determined by calculation and previous experience to be markedly subcritical (K eff) less than or equal to 0.90) under the required conditions of loading.

Each subsequent fuel addition was accompanied by detailed neutron count rate monitoring to ensure the just-loaded fuel assembly did not excessively increase the count rate and that the extrapolated inverse count rate ratio was behaving as expected. The results of each loading step were evaluated before the next prescribed step was started.

Criteria for safe loading required that loading operations stop immediately if:

1. An unanticipated steady state increase in the neutron count rate by a factor of two occurred on two of the

four nuclear channels during any single loading step after the initial nucleus of eight fuel assemblies were loaded (excluding anticipated change due to

detector and/or source movement).

2. The neutron count rate of any individual nuclear channel increased by a factor of five during any single loading step after the initial nucleus of eight fuel assemblies were BVPS-2 UFSAR Rev. 0 14.2-19 loaded (excluding anticipated changes due to detector and/or source movements).

3. An unanticipated decrease in boron concentration greater then 20 ppm as determined from two successive samples of reactor coolant water.

An alarm in the containment and main control room was coupled to the source range channels with a set point equal to or less than five times the current count rate. This alarm would automatically alert the loading operation personnel of high count rate and required an immediate stop of all operations

until the situation was evaluated. Normally, the alarm used for this purpose was the containment evacuation alarm. In the event the evacuation alarm was actuated during core loading and after it had been determined that no hazards to personnel existed, preselected personnel would be permitted to re-enter the containment structure to evaluate the cause and determine future

action. Core loading procedures specified the condition of fluid systems to prevent inadvertent dilution of the boron concentration of the reactor coolant, specified the movement of fuel to preclude the possibility of mechanical damage, prescribe the conditions under which loading can proceed, identified responsibility and authority, and provided for continuous and complete fuel and core component accountability.

14.2.10.2 Post-loading Tests

Upon completion of core loading, the reactor upper internals and the pressure vessel head were installed, and additional mechanical and electrical tests were performed prior to initial

criticality. The final pressure test was conducted after filling and venting was completed to check the integrity of the vessel head installation.

Mechanical and electrical tests were performed on the control rod drive mechanisms. These tests included a complete operational checkout of each mechanism and each individual rod position indication.

Tests were performed on the reactor trip circuits to test manual trip operation. The actual control rod assembly drop times were measured for each control rod assembly. The reactor control and

protection system was checked with simulated signals which produced a trip signal for the various conditions that required unit trip.

At all times that control rod drive mechanisms were being tested, the boron concentration in the coolant-moderator was maintained such that criticality could not be achieved with all control rod assemblies fully withdrawn.

BVPS-2 UFSAR Rev. 0 14.2-20 A functional electrical and mechanical check was made of the incore nuclear flux mapping system at operating temperature and pressure.

14.2.10.3 Criticality Tests After post-loading tests, nuclear operation of the reactor began. Criticality tests included initial criticality, low power physics testing, and power level escalation testing. The purpose of these tests was to establish the operational

characteristics of the unit and core, to acquire data for the proper calibration of set points, and to ensure that operation was within license requirements. A brief description of the

testing is presented in the following subsection.

14.2.10.3.1 Initial Criticality Testing

Initial criticality was achieved by a combination of shutdown and control bank withdrawal and reactor coolant system boron concentration dilution. The plant conditions, precautions, and specific instructions for the approach to criticality was specified by approved procedures. Initial criticality was

approached on a start-up rate of less than 1 decade per minute.

Initially, the shutdown and control banks of control rods were

withdrawn incrementally in the normal withdrawal sequence leaving the last withdrawn control bank partially inserted in the core to provide effective control when criticality was achieved. The boron concentration in the reactor coolant system was then reduced and criticality achieved by boron dilution or by subsequent rod withdrawal following boron dilution.

Throughout this period, samples of the primary coolant were obtained and analyzed for boron concentrate ion.

Inverse count rate ratio monitoring, using data from the normal plant source data range instrumentation, was used as an indication of the proximity and rate of approach to criticality.

Inverse count rate ratio data were plotted as a function of rod bank position during rod motion and as a function of reactor makeup water addition during reactor coolant system boron

concentration reduction.

14.2.10.3.2 Low Power Testing

A prescribed program of reactor physics measurements was undertaken to verify that basic static and kinetic

characteristics of the core were as expected and that values of kinetic coefficients assumed in the safety analysis were indeed conservative.

The measurements were made at low power and primarily at or near operating temperature and pressure. Measurements, to include verification of calculated values of control rod assembly group reactivity worths, of isothermal temperature coefficient under various core conditions, of differential boron concentration BVPS-2 UFSAR Rev. 0 14.2-21 reactivity worth, and of critical boron concentrations as functions of control rod assembly group configuration were made.

In addition, measurements of relative power distributions were made. Concurrent tests were conducted on instrumentation including the source and intermediate range nuclear channels.

Procedures specified the sequence of tests and measurements to be conducted and the conditions under which each procedure was to be performed, which ensure both safety of operation and the relevancy and consistency of the results obtained. If significant deviations from design predictions existed or apparent anomalies developed, the plant would be brought to a safe stable condition and the situation reviewed to determine whether a question of safety was involved.

14.2.10.3.3 Power Level Escalation When the operating characteristics of the reactor and unit were

verified by the low power testing, a program of power level escalation brought the unit to its full rated power level. Both reactor and unit operational characteristics were closely examined at each stage. Conformance with the safety analysis was verified or discrepancies resolved before escalation to the next programmed level.

Measurements were made to determine the relative power distribution in the core as functions of power level and control

assembly group position.

Secondary system heat balance calculations ensured that indications of power level were consistent and provided the basis for calibration of the power range nuclear channels. The ability of the reactor control system to respond effectively to

signals from primary and secondary instrumentation under a variety of conditions encountered in normal operations was verified.

At prescribed power levels the dynamic response characteristics of the reactor coolant and steam systems were evaluated.

Responses of the systems were measured for design step-load changes, rapid load reduction, and plant trips.

Adequacy of radiation shielding was verified by gamma and neutron radiation surveys at selected points inside containment and throughout the station site at various power levels.

Periodic sampling was performed to verify the chemical and radio-chemical analysis of the reactor coolant.

Testing performed following core loading and during unit start-up was outlined in Section 14.2.12. Prerequisites for performing a test were specified in the individual test

procedure. The sequence of testing was planned such that required prerequisite testing was completed prior to performing subsequent testing. Special test

BVPS-2 UFSAR Rev. 0 14.2-22 instruments required for a test were specified to be installed in the test procedure that specified the test equipment. Where test instruments were not left installed for future use, they were removed from the systems and removal was verified. The probable sequence of testing following core loading was shown in Section 14.2.11. Any modification of the sequence of testing was accomplished in accordance with approved BVPS-2 administrative

procedures.

14.2.11 Test Program Schedule

14.2.11.1 Initial Test Program Schedule

The schedule for the performance of Pre-operational, SOV, and Initial Start-up Tests was shown on Figure 14.2-3. The schedule depicted certain milestones, at which time each test or portions

of the test would be completed. The detailed schedules for testing were prepared, reviewed, and revised on a continuing basis as plant construction progressed.

Operational testing of the various systems and components commenced approximately 18 months prior to fuel load. Initial

Start-up Tests were scheduled to be conducted over a period of approximately 6 months subsequent to fuel load.

Tests were scheduled such that the safety of plant systems, structures, or components would not depend on the performance of an untested system or design feature. As a minimum, plant equipment and structures that were relied upon to prevent, mitigate, or limit the consequences of an accident were tested prior to exceeding 30 percent power. Section 14.2.12 provides

detailed information on each test performed.

14.2.11.2 Availability of Procedures for Regulatory Review

Test procedures prepared for implementation during the Pre-operational and Initial Start-up Test Phases were usually available for review by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 60 days prior to the scheduled performance of the test. Start-up testing procedures were usually available 60 days prior to

fuel loading.
