14.1-1 Rev. 1 WOLF CREEK CHAPTER 14.0 INITIAL TEST PROGRAM 14.2 INITIAL TEST PROGRAM 14.2.1
SUMMARY
OF TEST PROGRAM AND OBJECTIVES
The Initial Test Program encompassed the scope of events following completion of construction and construction-related inspections and tests and terminating
with Power Ascension Testing. The Initial Test Program was conducted in two
separate and sequential subprograms: the Preoperational Test Program and the
Initial Startup Test Program. At the conclusion of these subprograms, the
plant was ready for normal power operation. Testing during the Initial Test
Program was accomplished in four sequential phases:
Preoperational Test Program
Phase I - Preoperational Testing Initial Startup Test Program
Phase II - Initial Fuel Loading and Zero Power Testing
Phase III - Low Power Physics Testing
Phase IV - Power Ascension Testing
Prior to preoperational testing of a particular system, certain prerequisite
and construction tests were conducted in order to verify the integrity, proper
installation, cleanliness, and functional operability of the system components.
14.2.1.1 Preoperational Test Program The Preoperational Test Program is defined as that part of the Initial Test
Program that commences with the completion of construction and construction-
related inspections and tests and terminates with commencement of nuclear fuel loading.
The Preoperational Test Program included both safety-related and nonsafety-
related preoperational tests. The Preoperational Test Program used a graded
approach to determine the extent of testing to be performed. The safety-
related preoperational tests (Table 14.2-1) demonstrated the capability of
safety-related structures, systems, and components to meet performance
requirements and to satisfy design criteria. The nonsafety-related
preoperational tests (Table 14.2-2) were conducted on nonsafety-related systems
and components to satisfy reliability and availability. Preoperational tests were conducted on those systems that:
14.2-1 Rev. 0 WOLF CREEK
- a. Are relied upon for safe shutdown and cooldown of the reactor under normal plant conditions and for
maintaining the reactor in a safe condition for an
extended shutdown period;
- b. Are relied upon for safe shutdown and cooldown of the
reactor under transient and postulated accident
conditions and for maintaining the reactor in a safe
condition for an extended shutdown period following such
conditions;
- c. Are relied upon for establishing conformance with safety
limits or limiting conditions for operations that are
included in the technical specifications;
- d. Are classified as engineered safety features actuation systems or are relied upon to support or ensure
operation of engineered safety features actuation
systems within design limits;
- e. Are assumed to function during an accident or for which
credit is taken in the accident analysis;
- f. Are used to process, store, control, or limit the
release of radioactive materials.
The objectives of the Preoperational Test Program were to:
- a. Verify that plant components and systems, including
alarms and indications, are constructed and fulfill their design intent;
- b. Demonstrate, to the extent practicable, proper
system/component response to postulated accidents;
- c. Familiarize plant staff operating, technical, and
maintenance personnel with plant operation.
The completion of preoperational testing constituted the completion of Phase I
of the Initial Test Program.
14.2.1.2 Initial Startup Test Program The Initial Startup Test Program is defined as that part of the Initial Test
Program that commences with the start of nuclear fuel loading and terminates
with the completion of power ascension testing. The initial startup tests (Table 14.2-3) ensured that fuel loading was accomplished in a safe manner, confirmed the
14.2-2 Rev.0 WOLF CREEK design basis, demonstrated, where practical, that the plant operates and responds properly to anticipated transients and postulated accidents, and
ensured that the plant can be safely brought to rated capacity and sustained
power operation.
The objectives of the Initial Startup Test Program were to:
- a. Accomplish a controlled, orderly, and safe initial core
loading;
- b. Accomplish a controlled, orderly, and safe initial
criticality;
- c. Conduct low power testing sufficient to ensure that
design parameters are satisfied and safety analysis assumptions are conservative;
- d. Perform a controlled, orderly, and safe power ascension
with testing terminating at plant rated conditions;
- e. Provide sufficient testing of transient and accident
conditions to verify safe operation during transient or
accident conditions.
The completion of initial startup testing constituted the completion of Phases
II, III, and IV of the Initial Test Program.
14.2.2 ORGANIZATION AND STAFFING
14.2.2.1 General Description The Operating Agent, as defined in Section 1.4, was responsible for the overall

not available for review approximately 60 days prior to scheduled
implementation or fuel load, respectively, were handled on a case- by-case
basis.
The following sections describe the general methods employed to control
procedure development and review, and they also describe the responsibilities
of the various organizations which participated in this process. The detailed controls and methods were described in the startup administrative procedures.
14.2.3.1 Procedure Preparation Test procedures for the powerblock systems and components were developed by
Westinghouse and Bechtel. Bechtel also prepared test procedures for the site
safety-related systems and components. Test procedures for the site nonsafety-related systems and components were developed by various entities as
coordinated by KG&E.
14.2-8 Rev. 21 WOLF CREEK The format and content of the test procedures developed for the standard plant and safety-related site systems and components reflected the guidance provided
in Regulatory Guide 1.68. The procedures contained as a minimum the following
sections:
1.0 Objectives
The objectives section identified the general results to
be accomplished by the test.

the removal and/or return of system temporary
modifications required by the prerequisite and/or test
procedure sections were clearly defined.
The procedural sections included, as applicable, appropriate requirements for initials and/or signatures to control the performance and sequencing of the test.
The test procedures were prepared using the latest design information available
and functional requirements provided by the design engineers. This information
was utilized in developing the detailed test methods which verified the ability
of systems and components to function within their design specifications. The
procedure preparation efforts were started more than 2 years before the first
procedure to be performed. This early start allows for an orderly development
of the test procedure program and of the test procedures.
The test procedures were reviewed by the cognizant design organization to
ensure that the test procedure objectives and acceptance criteria are
consistent with current design document requirements. Subsequent changes to
test procedure objectives or acceptance criteria during the preparational stage were based on approved changes to design documents with the design organization's concurrence.
14.2.3.2 Procedure Review and Approval Following initial procedure preparation, and prior to submittal to the JTG for
review and approval recommendation, the test procedures were reviewed by the
SNUPPS utilities (KG&E and Union Electric). Review comments were resolved between the SNUPPS utilities and the writing organization.
A final revision was made by the writing organization, incorporating all
applicable design changes, and was submitted to the utilities for their review
and approval.
14.2-10 Rev. 0 WOLF CREEK Each utility had various organizations, groups, and committees, such as a startup organization, initial test group, and a plant safety review committee, comprised of individuals having appropriate technical backgrounds and

- f. Test scheduling and test conduct;
- g. Test deficiencies and resolution;
- h. Startup quality control; and
- i. Startup document control.
14.2.4.2 Turnover from Construction to KG&E Startup Construction completion was scheduled in accordance with engineered system or
subsystem boundaries. As systems or sub- systems were completed to support
Startup testing, a turnover of the system or subsystem to KG&E Startup was processed. Turnover was conducted in accordance with established
administrative procedures.
As part of the turnover process, each safety-related system or subsystem
received physical walkdowns to provide assurance of readiness for Startup
testing and verification that installation requirements had been met.
Walkdowns were performed jointly by KG&E Startup and KG&E Construction
personnel under the direction of the KG&E Construction Manager. Discrepancies
identified during the walkdowns were tracked and resolved in accordance with
established administrative and quality procedures.
The system or subsystem Turnover Package prepared by the constructor was
reviewed by KG&E Construction and KG&E Startup personnel for accuracy, completeness and acceptability for Startup testing. In conjunction with the
Turnover Package review, Startup personnel verified that the system or
subsystem procurement and installation documentation review had been performed
by Construction, and that discrepancies had been addressed. Acceptance of the
Turnover Package by Startup followed satisfactory completion of the Turnover
Package review. The Startup Manager was responsible for the approval and
acceptance of the system or subsystem and the associated Turnover Package.
14.2-13 Rev. 0 WOLF CREEK Individual components could be released to Startup for calibration, testing or temporary operation prior to turnover.
All components released in this manner were incorporated into the scope of a
subsequent system or subsystem turnover.
14.2.4.3 Component and Prerequisite Testing Upon Startup acceptance of a turned-over system, subsystem, or released
component, prerequisite-type testing was performed to demonstrate proper
operability and functional ability in support of, and prior to, the performance of preoperational testing. Local containment leak rate testing, as described in
Section 14.2.12.2.13, was performed at WCGS as part of the prerequisite test
program.
Administrative procedures were established to ensure that all prerequisites
were met before testing was initiated. Upon completion of all prerequisite
tests applicable to a system or subsystem, a documented review was conducted by
Startup personnel to verify that appropriate documentation was able and that
required prerequisite tests had been satisfactorily completed. All deficiencies
which would prevent performance of preoperational tests or generate negative test results were identified and dispositioned prior to implementation of the preoperational tests.
14.2.4.4 Preoperational Testing Technical direction and administration, including test execution and data
recording, of the preoperational testing were the responsibility of the startup
organization. The system startup engineers were responsible for the performance of tests and providing appropriate interface with station
operators. The Startup Manager was responsible for the administration and
surveillance of all testing activities during the preoperational test program.
14.2.4.5 Initial Startup Testing During the initial startup testing phase, the Plant Manager had overall
authority and responsibility for the startup program. The Startup Organization
provided support to the plant operating staff which had responsibility for performing equipment operations and maintenance in accordance with the
provisions of the plant operating license. The WCGS operating staff was also
responsible for ensuring that the conduct of testing did not place the plant in
an unsafe condition at any time.
The shift supervisors had the authority to terminate or disallow testing at any
time.
14.2-14 Rev. 0 WOLF CREEK 14.2.4.6 Test Prerequisites Each test procedure contained a set of prerequisites and initial conditions as
prescribed by the startup administrative procedures. The system startup
engineer ensured that all specified prerequisites were met prior to performing the test. The format for test procedures is described in Section 14.2.3.1.
14.2.4.7 Test Evaluation Upon completion of system preoperational testing, the test results were
submitted to the JTG for its review and subsequent recommendation for approval
to the Startup Manager and Plant Manager.
Between each major phase of the initial startup test program, the test results
for all tests that were performed were reviewed by the PSRC. This review
ensured that all required systems were tested satisfactorily and that test
results were approved before proceeding to the next stage of testing.
These reviews are described in Section 14.2.5.
14.2.4.8 Design Modifications Modifications to the design of the equipment during the test program could be
initiated in order to correct deficiencies discovered as a result of testing.
Any such modifications were either developed by the original design organization or other designated organizations. Modifications made to
components or systems after completion of preoperational or initial startup
testing were reviewed for retesting requirements on affected portions of the
system.
14.2.5 REVIEW, EVALUATION, AND APPROVAL OF TEST RESULTS
The responsibility for review, evaluation, and recommendation for approval of
test results from all preoperational tests rested with the JTG. In the case of
all initial start-up tests, it rested with the PSRC.
Following completion of a preoperational test, the responsible system startup
engineer assembled the test data package for submittal to the members of the
JTG for evaluation. Each test data package was reviewed to ensure that the
test has been performed in accordance with the approved procedure and that all
required data, checks, and signatures were properly recorded and that system
performance met the approved acceptance criteria.
14.2-15 Rev. 0 WOLF CREEK Members of the JTG reviewed the evaluation findings and recommended corrective action to be taken to resolve any outstanding deficiencies. If the
deficiencies were not resolved to the satisfaction of the JTG, then appropriate
retesting was required. If the evaluation indicated that deficiencies in the
test method were responsible for unsatisfactory test results, the test procedure was revised accordingly before retesting was initiated. The review
and approval process for procedure revisions was carried out in the manner
described in Section 14.2.3. Whenever an evaluation of test results indicated
deficiencies in system performance, the JTG referred the problem to the
responsible engineering organization for evaluation.
If the test documentation and system performance were acceptable, the JTG
recommended approval of the test by the Startup Manager and the Plant Manager.
Following each major phase of the initial startup test program, the PSRC verified that all required tests were performed and that the test results were approved. This verification ensured that all required systems were operating
properly and that testing for the next major phase was conducted in a safe and
efficient manner. This type of review was performed to the extent required
before major initial startup test phases such as fuel load, initial
criticality, and power ascension. During the power ascension phase, review and
approval of initial startup test procedure results was completed as described
in KMLNRC-84-235.
14.2.6 TEST RECORDS
Test procedures and test data relating to preoperational and initial startup
testing are retained in accordance with the measures described in the Quality Program Manual.
14.2.7 CONFORMANCE OF TEST PROGRAMS WITH REGULATORY GUIDES
The regulatory guides applicable to the test program are listed, with
positions, in Appendix 3A, Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides.
14.2.8 UTILIZATION OF REACTOR OPERATING AND TESTING EXPERIENCE IN
DEVELOPMENT OF TEST PROGRAMS
Available information on reactor operating experiences was utilized in the
development of the Initial Test Program, as follows:
14.2-16 Rev. 21 WOLF CREEK
- a. Bechtel reviewed and distributed pertinent Licensee Event Reports for use in the development of
preoperational test procedures as follows:
- 1. The Licensee Event Summary Reports and other pertinent information were reviewed on a periodic
basis, and those reports deemed to be useful for
updating test procedures and items of a generic
nature were cataloged. A summary of these reports
was distributed within Bechtel.
- 2. Copies of the specific reports were then made and
distributed for use in the preparation of
procedures. In addition, these reports were coded
and filed in a computer retrieval system.
- b. The operating experience assessment for Wolf Creek
Generating Station Unit No. 1 (WCGS) was conducted by
the nuclear divisions and plant staff who possess the
appropriate experience in the area of concern. The
sources of operating experience information included the
use of the NETWORK and the INPO/NSAC SEEIN system. An
administrative system which controlled the flow of
information from NETWORK, INPO/NSAC SEEIN, etc., to the
cognizant organizations including the Independent Safety
Engineering Group (ISEG) was developed and functioning
prior to fuel load.
The Licensing Section was responsible for coordinating
the review of the NRC Information and Enforcement (IE)
Bulletins, Circulars, and Information Notices.
The Startup Group reviewed information provided by the
other KG&E Nuclear Divisions and information provided by
Bechtel and Westinghouse to determine its effect on the
Wolf Creek Initial Test Program, making revisions to
test and administrative procedures as required.
An instrumented auxiliary feedwater water-hammer test was performed only at
Wolf Creek. (This test was not required to be performed. It was being
performed for the purpose of gathering engineering data only.) Procedure S-
O3AL04, Auxiliary Feedwater System Water Hammer Test, required a visual and
audible water hammer test and was completed prior to the issuance of an
operating license. See new Section 14.2.12.1.10.
Procedure S-070017, Loss of Heater Drain Pump Test, was performed on Callaway
only. This test was conducted to verify analytical assumptions. No
additional loss of heater drain pump tests are
14.2-17 Rev. 0 WOLF CREEK required, since the data obtained from the first unit test is equally valid for subsequent units. See Section 14.2.12.3.41.
Procedure S-07SF09 RCCA or Bank Worth Measurement at Power, was performed at 50
percent power only at Callaway. Wolf Creek and Callaway have the same core and Nuclear instrumentation system design and the test at Callaway is considered a
prototypical test for Wolf Creek. This position was accepted by the NRC in a
July 3, 1985 letter to KG&E.
A natural circulation test was performed at Callaway only to demonstrate the
length of time to stabilize natural circulation, core flow distribution, and
the ability to establish and maintain natural circulation. Operators
participating in the tests were able to recognize when natural circulation had
stabilized and were able to control saturation margin, RCS pressure, and heat
removal rate without exceeding specified operating limits. These tests were conducted insofar as possible to include all available licensed operators.
Licensed operators were trained in these same areas on the simulator. The
simulator has full capability of simulating natural circulation, using
Westinghouse data initially. When the above tests were accomplished on the
Callaway plant, actual data was incorporated into the Wolf Creek simulator
program. See Chapter 18, item I.G.1, and Section 14.2.12.3.43.
14.2.9 TRIAL USE OF PLANT OPERATING AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
The plant operating procedures were utilized, where applicable during the test
program, to support testing, maintain plant conditions, and facilitate
training. The trial use of operating procedures served to familiarize
operating personnel with systems and plant operation during the testing phase
and also served to ensure the adequacy of the procedures under actual or
simulated operating conditions before plant operation begins. The emergency procedures were verified during startup as plant conditions, testing, and training warrant. Surveillance tests were performed as conditions warrant
during the testing program, to demonstrate their adequacy.
Plant operating procedures were developed in approximately the same time frame
as the preparation of preoperational and initial startup tests. The operating
procedures were revised as necessary to reflect experience gained during the
testing program.
14.2.10 INITIAL FUEL LOADING, CRITICALITY, AND POWER
ASCENSION
Prior to the commencement of fuel loading, required preoperational test
procedures were evaluated, and appropriate remedial action
14.2-18 Rev. 0 WOLF CREEK was taken if the acceptance criteria was not satisfied. At the completion of fuel loading, the reactor upper internals and pressure vessel head were
installed, and additional mechanical and electrical tests were performed to
prepare the plant for nuclear operation. After final precritical tests, nuclear operation of the reactor began. This phase of testing included initial criticality, low power testing, and power level ascension. The purpose of
these tests was to establish the operational characteristics of the unit and
core, to acquire data for the proper calibration of setpoints, and to ensure
that operation is within license requirements. Section 14.2.12.3 summarizes
the tests which are performed from fuel load to rated power. The fuel loading
and post loading tests are described below.
14.2.10.1 Fuel Loading The Plant Manager or his designated representative with technical assistance
provided by Westinghouse, was responsible for the coordination of initial core
loading. The overall process of initial core loading was, in general, directed from the operating floor of the containment structure by a licensed senior
reactor operator. The licensed senior reactor operator had no additional
responsibilities other than core load operations.
The core configuration was specified as part of the core design studies
conducted well in advance of fuel loading. In the event mechanical damage was
sustained during core loading operations to a fuel assembly of a type for which
no spare was available onsite, an alternate core loading scheme could have been
determined. Any such changes would have been approved by the appropriate
Westinghouse personnel.
Core loading procedures specified the condition of fluid systems to prevent
inadvertent changes in boron concentration of the reactor coolant; the movement
of fuel to preclude the possibility of mechanical damage; the conditions under
which loading could proceed; and the responsibility and authority for
continuous and complete fuel and core component accountability.
The following conditions were met prior to core loading:
- a. The reactor containment structure was complete and
containment integrity had been demonstrated.
- b. Fuel handling tools and equipment were checked out and
operators familiarized in the use and operation of
equipment. Inspections of fuel assemblies, rod cluster control assemblies, and reactor vessel were satisfactorily completed.
14.2-19 Rev. 0 WOLF CREEK
- c. The reactor vessel and associated components were in a state of readiness to receive fuel. The water level was
maintained above the bottom of the nozzles and
recirculation maintained to ensure the required boron
concentration could be increased via the recirculation path or directly to the open vessel.
Criteria for safe loading required that loading operations stop immediately if
any of the following conditions occur.
- a. An unanticipated increase in the neutron count rates by a
factor of two occurs on all responding nuclear channels
during any single loading step after the initial nucleus
of eight fuel assemblies is loaded.
- b. An unanticipated increase in the count rate by a factor of five on any individual responding nuclear channel
during any single loading step after the initial nucleus
of eight fuel assemblies is loaded.
- c. An unanticipated decrease in boron concentration greater
than 20 ppm is determined from two successive samples of
the reactor coolant.
Loading operations could not be restarted until the situation was evaluated.
An alarm in the containment and main control room was coupled to the source
range channels with a setpoint equal to or less than five times the current
count rate. This alarm automatically alerts the loading operation personnel of
high count rate, and an immediate stop of all operations would be required
until the situation was evaluated. In the event the evacuation alarm was actuated during core loading and after it has been determined that no hazards to personnel exist, preselected personnel would be permitted to reenter the
containment to evaluate the cause and determine future action.
The core was assembled in the reactor vessel and submerged in the reactor grade
water containing sufficient dissolved boric acid to maintain a calculated core
effective multiplication factor of 0.95 or lower. The refueling pool could be
wet or dry during initial core loading. Core moderator, chemistry conditions (particularly boron concentration) were prescribed in the core loading
procedure document and verified by chemical analysis of moderator samples taken
prior to and during core loading operations.
At least two artificial neutron sources were introduced into the core at
specified points in the core during the loading program to ensure a detector
response of at least 2 counts per second attributable to neutrons.
14.2-20 Rev. 0 WOLF CREEK Core loading instrumentation consisted of two permanently installed source range (pulse type) nuclear channels and two temporary incore source range
channels. A third temporary channel could also be used as a spare. The
permanent channels, when responding, were monitored in the main control room, and the temporary channels were installed and monitored in the containment. At least one permanent channel was equipped with an audible count rate indicator.
Both plant channels have the capability of displaying the neutron flux level on
a strip chart recorder. The temporary channels indicated on scalers, and a
minimum of one channel was recorded on a strip chart recorder. Normally minimum
count rates of two counts per second attributable to core neutrons were
required on at least two of the four (i.e. two temporary and two permanent
source range detectors) available nuclear source channels at all times
following installation of the initial nucleus of eight fuel assemblies. A
response check of nuclear instruments to a neutron source was performed within
8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> prior to loading of the core, or upon resumption of loading if delay was for more than 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />.
Fuel assemblies, together with inserted components (control rod assemblies, burnable, poison assemblies, source spider, or thimble plugging devices) were
placed in the reactor vessel one at a time, according to a previously
established and approved sequence developed to provide reliable core monitoring
with minimum possibility of core mechanical damage. The core loading procedure
documents prescribed the 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. Fuel assembly status boards were maintained throughout
the core loading operation.
An initial nucleus of eight fuel assemblies, one containing a neutron source, is the minimum source-fuel nucleus which permitted subsequent meaningful
inverse count rate monitoring. This initial nucleus was determined by calculation to be markedly subcritical (K eff 0.95) under the required conditions of loading.
Each subsequent fuel addition was accompanied by detailed neutron count rate
monitoring to determine that the just-loaded fuel assembly did not excessively
increase the count rate and that the extrapolated inverse count rate ratio was
behaving as expected. These results for each loading step were evaluated before
the next fuel assembly was loaded. The final, as loaded, core configuration
was subcritical (K eff < 0.95) under the required loading conditions.
14.2-21 Rev. 0 WOLF CREEK 14.2.10.2 Initial Criticality Prior to initial criticality, the following tests were performed and the
results evaluated.
- a. At the completion of core loading, the reactor upper
internals and pressure vessel head were installed. A
pressure test was conducted after filling, and venting
was completed to check the leaktightness of the vessel
head installation.
- b. Mechanical and electrical tests were performed on the
control rod drive mechanisms. These tests included a
complete operational checkout of the mechanisms and
calibration of the individual rod position indicators.
- c. Tests were performed on the reactor trip circuits to
test manual trip operation, and actual control rod
assembly drop times were measured for each control rod
assembly. At all times that the control rod drive
mechanisms were being tested, the boron concentration in
the coolant was maintained so that the shutdown margin
requirements specified in the Technical Specifications
were met. During individual RCCA or RCC bank motion, source range instrumentation was monitored for
unexpected changes in core reactivity.
- d. The reactor control and reactor protection systems were
checked with simulated inputs to produce trip signals
for various trip conditions.
- e. A functional electrical and mechanical check was made of
the incore nuclear flux mapping system near normal
operating temperature and pressure.
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 were specified by approved procedures.
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 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 concentration.
14.2-22 Rev. 0 WOLF CREEK Inverse count rate ratio monitoring using data from the normal plant source range instrumentation was used as an indication of the proximity and rate of
approach to criticality. Inverse count rate ratio data was 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 Low Power Testing Following initial criticality, a program of reactor physics measurements was
undertaken to verify that the basic static and kinetic characteristics of the
core were as expected and that the values of the kinetic coefficients assumed in the safeguards analysis were conservative.
Procedures specified the sequence of tests and measurements to be conducted and
the conditions under which each was performed in order to ensure both safety of
operation and the validity and consistency of the results obtained. If test
results deviated significantly from design predictions, if unacceptable
behavior had been revealed, or if unexplained anomalies had developed, the
plant would have been brought to a safe stable condition and the situation
reviewed to determine the course of subsequent plant operation.
These measurements were made at low power and primarily at or near normal operating temperature and pressure. Measurements were made in order to verify
the calculated values of control rod bank reactivity worths, the isothermal
temperature coefficient under various core conditions, differential boron
concentration reactivity worth, and critical boron concentrations as functions
of control rod configuration. In addition, measurements of the relative power
distributions were made, and concurrent tests were conducted on the
instrumentation, including source and intermediate range nuclear channels.
Gamma and neutron radiation surveys were performed at selected points
throughout the station. Periodic sampling was performed to verify chemical and
radio-chemical analysis of the reactor coolant.
14.2.10.4 Power Level Ascension After the operating characteristics of the reactor were verified by low power
testing, a program of power level ascension brought the unit to its full rated
power level in successive stages. At each successive stage, hold points were provided to evaluate and approve test results prior to proceeding to the next
stage. The minimum test requirements for each successive stage of power
ascension were specified in the initial startup test procedures.
14.2-23 Rev. 0 WOLF CREEK Measurements were made to determine the relative power distribution in the core as functions of power level and control assembly bank position.
Secondary system heat balance measurements ensured that the indications of
power level were consistent and provide bases for calibration of the power range nuclear channels. The ability of the reactor coolant 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 primary
and secondary systems were evaluated. System response characteristics 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 throughout the station at various power levels.
Periodic sampling was performed to verify the chemical and radio-chemical analysis of the reactor coolant.
14.2.11 TEST PROGRAM SCHEDULE
Detailed schedules for testing were prepared, reviewed, and revised on a
continuing basis as plant construction progressed.
Preoperational tests which were not performed according to schedule were
reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Administrative procedures were established
to ensure that all prerequisites were met before testing was initiated. Upon
completion of all prerequisite tests applicable to a system or subsystem, a
documented review was conducted by Start-up personnel to verify that
appropriate documentation was available and that required prerequisite tests
were satisfactorily completed. All deficiencies which would have prevented performance of preoperational tests or generated negative test results were identified and dispositioned prior to implementation of the preoperational
tests.
Preoperational testing was scheduled to commence approximately 18 months prior
to fuel loading. The preoperational tests were performed and sequenced during
this period as a function of system turnover, system interrelationships, and
acceptance for testing.
Initial startup testing was scheduled to be conducted over a period of
approximately 3 to 5 months, commencing with fuel loading. The sequential
schedule for initial startup tests ensured, insofar as practicable, that test
requirements were completed
14.2-24 Rev. 0 WOLF CREEK prior to exceeding 25-percent power for all plant structures, systems, and components that are relied upon to prevent, limit, or mitigate the consequences
of postulated accidents.
The development of the test procedures was an ongoing process consisting of preparation, review, and revision. Preoperational test procedures were
available for NRC review approximately 60 days prior to the performance of an
individual test. If an individual test procedure was not available 60 days
prior to the test, the NRC was notified of the test date and the date the test
procedure was available. Initial startup test procedures were available for
NRC review at least 60 days prior to fuel loading.
14.2.12 INDIVIDUAL TEST DESCRIPTIONS
