RBS USAR 14.2-21August198714.2.8 Utilization of Reactor Operating and Testing Experiences in the Development of Test Program The Startup and Test Department receives and maintains GE Services Information Letters (SIL), which describe testing and operating experiences that have occurred at GE BWRS.
The Superintendent Start-up and Test ensures that all SILs are reviewed for applicability to River Bend Station.
Information acquired from the SIL review is used in the test
program to identify potential problem areas that may require
special testing, design changes, or procedure modifications. 14.2.9 Trial Use of Plant Operating and Emergency Procedures As much as possible throughout the preoperational and initial startup phase of the test program, test procedures
utilize operating, surveillance, emergency, and abnormal
procedures where applicable in the performance of tests. The
use of these procedures is intended to do the following: 1. Prove the specific procedure is correct or illustrate changes which may be required 2. Provide training of plant personnel in the use of these procedures 3. Increase the level of knowledge of plant personnel on the systems being tested.
Test procedures may use these operating, surveillance, emergency, and abnormal procedures in several ways: the test procedure may reference the procedure directly, the
test procedure may extract a series of steps from the procedure, or the test procedure may use a combination of
the first two methods. The schedule for development of
plant procedures is discussed in Section 13.5.
14.2.10 Initial Fuel Loading and Initial Criticality
14.2.10.1 Fuel Loading and Shutdown Power Level Tests
Fuel loading and initial criticality are conducted in accordance with written procedures after prerequisite tests
are satisfactorily completed and an operating license has
been issued. Prior to approving fuel loading, the plant is verified ready to load fuel. This verification is accomplished by the following steps, which are performed
near the completion of preoperational testing.
