Certified Py
- M OPERATICMS-PRIOR TO PCWER ASCCISION CALLAWAY PLANT During our meeting of August 20, 1984, we discussed possible operating evolutions to enhance the experience of our shif t crews prior to ascension above 51 power.
As stated in the m*.eing, we-
~
are fully confident that our operations personnel possess the necessary training and experience to safely start up and operate the plant.
Nonetheless, we agree that we should capitalize on opportunities to dezcastrate this c~cmpetence and enhance the con-fidence of our shift crews.
We therefore propose that prior to initial criticality, the plant be returned to Mcde 4 with the restdual heat rercoval system placed in service, thus initiating a normal cooldown.
Having demon-strated attainment of this mcde, the unit would then be returned to hot standby, with hands-on operation where consible by licensed shift personnel other than those directly involved in the initial plant hea tup.
Since this evolution will take plice ov'er several shif ts, a majorit*/ of our shif t personnel will have participated in a heatup cperation.
In addition, following a trainment of Mode 2, those crews-which have not experienced direct participation in the initial criti-cality evolution will be allowed to cycle the unit from approximatel, 0.5% power to hot standby and return the unit to Mode 2.
Following these operations we will complete the low power, test program.
Based on our recent performanen, we are confident taat our operations in carrying out the proposed program will demonstrate our readiness to proceed with power ascension.
Very truly yours, N
Donald F.
