1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Joseph M. Farley Unit 1 Cycle 6 Startup Test Report addresses the tests performed as required by plant procedures following core refueling. The report provides a brief synopsis of each test and gives a comparison of measured parameters with design predictions, Technical Specifications, or values assumed in the FSAR safety analysis.
Unit 1 of the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant is a three loop Westinghouse pressurized water reactor rated at 2652 Mwth.
The cycle 6 core loading consists of 77 new and 80 reused 17 x 17 fuel assemblies as tabulated in 1 2.2.
Unit 1 began commercial operations in December 1, 1977 and completed cycle 5 on February 10, 1984 with an average core burnup of 11096.8 MWD /MTU.

Westinghouse WCAP-10525 (The Nuclear Design and Core Management Cycle 6) of the Joseph M. Farley Unit 1 Power Plant 2.1 Cycle 5 Fuel Inspection All fuel assemblies were unloaded from the reactor core to permit Control Rod Drive Mechanism Split Pin modification. Each fuel assembly was visually inspected with binoculars during the core unload. No significant defects or damage were noted during the visual inspection.
of each Thefuel visual inspection was followed by vacuum sipping assembly. General Electric gaseous vacuum sipping equipment was utilized for this testing. Final
! sipping results showed evidence that two assemblies (F-36 and E-09) leaked and another assembly (F-44) was suspected of leaking. Assembly E-09 was not scheduled for use in Cycle 6.
Assemblies F-36 and F-44 had originally been scheduled for reuse in Cycle 6; therefore, two D assem-blies which had not been used in Cycle 5 were substituted in baffle positions in Cycle 6.
Additionally, F-36, E-09, F-44 and ten other assemblies were tested for leakage using an ultrasonic method developed by Brown Boveri Reaktor of Germany, i
- Failed rods were confirmed during ultrasonic testing of F-36 and E-09. F-44 and the other ten assemblies tested l
showed no evidence of leakage by the ultrasonic method.

2.2 Cycle 6 Core Refueling The Cycle 6 core loading commenced on March 27, 1984 following the completion of Control Rod Drive Mechanism 1984. Pin Split The modifications, and was completed on March 29, as-loaded Cycle 6 core is depicted in Figures 2.1 - 2.3.

3.0 CONTROL ROD DROP TIME MEASUREMENT (FNP-1-STP-112)
Purpose-The purpose of this test was to measure the drop time of all full length control rods under hot, full-flow conditions in the reactor coolant system to insure compliance with Technical Specification requirements.
Summary of Results For the hot, full-flow condition (Tavg > 541*F and all reactor coolant pumps operating) Technical Specification 3.1.3.4 requires that the rod drop time from the fully with-drawn position shall be < 2.2 seconds from the beginning of stationary gripper coil voltage decay until dashpot entry.
All 2.2 full length rod drop times were measured to be less than seconds.
for rod B-6. The longest drop time recorded was 1.81 seconds The rod drop time results for both dashpot entry and dashpot bottom are presented in Figure 3.1.
drop times are summarized below: Mean Test Mean Time To Conditions Mean Time to Dashpot Entry Dachpot Bottom Hot Full-flow 1.626 sec. 2.173 sec.
To confirm normal rod mechanism operation prior to conducting
- the rod drops, a Control Rod Drive Test (FNP-0-IMP-230.3) was performed.
I In the test, the stepping waveforms of the stationary, lift and movable gripper coils were examined and rod stepping speed measurements were conducted. All results were satisfactory.

4.0 INITIAL CRITICALITY (FNP-1-ETP-3601)
Purpose The purpose of this procedure was to achieve initial reactor i criticality under carefully controlled conditions, establish the upper flux limit for the conduct of zero power physics tests, and operationally verify the calibration of the reactiv-ity computer.
Summary of Results dilution mixing at 0616 hours0.00713 days <br />0.171 hours <br />0.00102 weeks <br />2.34388e-4 months <br /> on April 22,1984. InitialThe Reactorreactor Criticali was allowed to stabilize at the following critical conditions:
RCS pressure - 2235 psig, RCS.t mediate range power - 1.3 x 10-gmperature 545 *F, amp, RCS-boron inter-concentration
- 1807 ppm, and Control Bank D position - 185 steps. Follow-ing stabilization, the point of adding nuclear heat was deter-mined and a cileckout of the reactivity computer using both positive and negative flux periods was successfully accom-plished.
In addition, source and intermediate range neutron channel overlap data were taken during the flux increase preceding and immediately following initial criticality to demonstrate that adequate overlap existed.

5.0 ALL-RODS-OUT ISOTHERMAL TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT, BORON ENDPOINT AND FLUX DISTRIBUTION Purpose The objective of these measurements was to: (1) determine the hot, zero power isothermal and moderator temperature co-efficients for the all-rods-out (ARO) configuration; (2) measure the ARO boron endpoint concentration, and (3) determine the hot, zero power ARO flux distribution in the reactor core.
Summary of Results The measured ARO, hot zero power temperature coefficients and the ARO boron endpoint concentration are shown in Table 5.1. The moderator temperature coefficient (MTC) was found to be positive (+ 4.55 pcm/*F) as expected from the core design. ; Technical Specification 3.1.1.3.a was

(See Table 5.1.)
Following the control and shutdown bank worth measurements (Section ARO 6.0) a flux distribution map was obtained at the configuration. As summarized in Table 5.2, the dif-ferences between measured and design-predicted relative assembly power satisfied the design criteria for the maximum negative percent positiveerror.
percent error, but not for the maximum The design criteria states that the percent error between measured and expected relative fuel assembly powers should be within i 10% for assemblies with relative powers > 0.9, and within 115% for assemblies with relative powers T O.9.
! Two assemblies failed to meet these criteria:
in core position L-ll (relative power = 0.955) showed anThe assembly error of -10.7%, and the errer for the assembly in location L-12 (relative power = 1.123) was also -10.7%. In addition the HZP, the design ARO flux map criterion indicated that the incore tilt exceeded of 1.02. (See Table 5.2.)
! Westinghouse was notified of the assemblies that failed the relative power criteria and of the incore tilt exceeding 1.02.
Westinghouse agreed that power escalation could continue up to 75% power. In addition, a rod insertion limit of D at 150 steps 1.02. was recommended as long as the incore tilt exceeded i
I Subsequent flux maps at 35% and 44% full power indicated l that the percent difference between measured and expected assembly '
power decreased to well within the design acceptance criteria in both assemblies. These two full core flux maps also indi-cated that incore tilt had decreased to below 1.02. t 9 !
