DPR-49 Docket No: 50-331 DAEC Restart Testing at Beginning of Cycle 8
Reference:
Power Uprate for the DAEC, NG-84-2518, McGaugby (IE) to Denton (NRC), August 17, 1984
Dear Mr. Keppler:
This letter transmits the results of the Startup Test Program which was conducted at the Duane Arnold Energy Center at the beginning of Cycle 8.
This test progmm was performed in accordance with Section 3.3 of the DAEC Surveillance Manual, Surveillance Requirements for Startup and Shutdown, and the referenced letter, to which the application for power uprate was attached. As part of this application, Iowa Electric committed to conducting tests at the old rated power of 1593 MWth.
Some of these tests would be repeated at the uprated power of 1658 MWth, with the results being compared to expected values.
Each test which was performed as part of this Power Uprate test program was satisfactorily completed, with the results comparing favorably to the values which were expected.
The application for power uprate contained one test, RE-15, Control Rod Friction Testing and Insert / Withdraw Timing, which was not performed because plant conditions prohibited conducting this-procedure until near the end of the outage. By this time, each rod had been exercised and was determined to be operable.
Consequently, it was determined that this test was redundant to the exercises which had already taken place and was therefore not performed.
