  • PROGRAM (PCP) ,

The PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM (PCP) shall contain the current formult, sampling, analyses, tests and determinations to be made to ensure that the processing and packaging of solid radioactive vastes based on demonstrated processing of accuni or simulated wet solid wastes will be accomplished in such a way as to assure compliance with 10 CFR Part 20, 10 CFR Part 71, and Federal and State .

regulations and other requirements governing the' disposal of the radioactive l '

l waste.

l PURCE - PURCINC PURCE or PURCINC is the controlled process of discharging air or gas from a confinement to maintain temperature, pressure, humidity, concentration or other operating condition, in such a manner that replacement air or ' gas is required to purify the containment.

RATED THERMAL POWER I

RATED THERMAL POWER shall be total reactor core heat transfer rate to the reactor coolant of 2436 MWt.

f' REACTOR PROTECTION SYSTEM RESPONSE TIME *

! \. ' ,

j REACTOR PROTECTION SYSTEM RESPONSE TIME shall be the time interval from when the monitored parameter exceeds its trip setpoint at the channel sensor until  !

de-energization of the scram pilot valve solenoids.

l REFERENCE LEVEL ZERO The. REFERENCE LEVEL ZERO point is arbitrarily set at 367 inches above the vessel zero point. This REFERENCE LEVEL ZERO is approximately mid point on

  • the top fuel guide and is the single reference for all specifications of l

vessel water level.

REPORTABLE EVENT

-A REPORTABLE EVENT shall be any of those' conditions specified'in Section 50.73 to 10 CFR Part 50.

ROD DENSITY ,

?

ROD DENSITY shall be' the number of control rod ' notches inserted as a fraction

- of the total number of notches. All rods fully inserted is equivalent to 100% ROD DENSITY.
