U REACTOR START-UP CERTIFICATION DURATION:
Five days CLASS SIZE:
3'or groups of 3 Nuclear Training Center, Lynchburg, Virginia LOCATION:
To pravide a prospect.ive reactor operator an opp PURPOSE:
thus eliminating plant off-line time for training and reactor operator examination.
The course consists of four days of classroom and simulator d an introduction DESCRIPTION:
. instruction in reactor startup technique anThe fif th day will be utilized to to power cperation.each student as to 'his ability to perform a reactor 'star A certification to the sponsoring utilities plant management and to the USAEC operator Licensing Branch will be made of ig those students who satisfactorily complete the operat n examination for a reactor startup.
TYPICAL SCHEDULE:

{K CONDUCT OF REACTOR STARTUP EXAMINATION ON BABC0CK AND WILCOX CO.
PRESSURIZED WATER REACTOR NUCLEAR POWER PLANT SIMULATOR SIMULATOR INITIAL CONDITIONS:
Major Conditions Approximate Value Reactor Coolant Average Temperature 535 F Reactor Coolant Pressure 2155 PSI Pressurizer Water Level 100 Inches Steam Header Pressure 885 PSIG Control Rods Group 1, 2, 3, and 4 100%
Groups 5, 6, and 7 0%
Group 6 43%
The reactor will be in the hot shutdown conditions. All hand / auto controllers will be in the state required by the plant startup procedure.
STUDENT PROBLEM:
1.
Determine the estimated critical rod position utilizing applicable procedures. Note: The Training Center Staff Instructor will provide the required information to accomplish this task.
2.
Determine that those instruments that are to be used during the startup are functioning properly.
3.
Perform a reactor startup to 5% full power.
4.
Describe to the examiner each major step you take.
5.
Answer to the best of your ability those questions the examiner may ask. Answering questions should not take precedence over plant operations.
6.
Advise the examiner as soon as you determine that the reactor is critical and/or supercritical and also the point that nuclear heat is added to the reactor coolant.
