Subsequently, control banks shall be inserted at least 500 PCM.
)
Contrary to the above on June 6,1987, OP No. 12003-1 was not i
properly implemented in that the unit was taken critical with the actual rod height greater than 500 PCM below the ECC height and the control banks were not inserted as required, This resulted in too high a startup rate (2.2 decades per minute) which caused the source range Hi Flux Bistable to trip on high flux level and a subsequent reactor trip during startup.
2.
Administrative Procedure (AP) No. 00054-C " Rules for Performing Procedures" step 4.1.5 requires that if finding the procedure to be incorrect, stopping and notifying his/her immediate suaervisor, and step 4.1.7 recuires that revising procedures in accorcance with AP No. 00051-C, ;' Procedure Review and Approval" or AP No. 00052-C, Temporary Changes", when found to be incorrect prior to resuming work.
