Start-up Test Report Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station Cycle #20
Introduction:
Vermont Yankee Cycle #20 initial start-up commenced on June 1,1998 following a 75 day outage for refueling and maintenance activities.
'The core loading for Cycle #20 consists of:
Number Description Cycle Initially Loaded 16 GE9B-P8DWB335-10GZ-80M-150-T re-inserte.d from Cycle 17 -l 88 GE98-P8DWB33 5-10GZ-80M-150-T re-inserted from Cycle 18 32 GE9B P8DWB335-11GZ-80M 150-T re inserted from Cycle 18 120 GE98-P8DWB354-12GZ-80M 150-T re-inserted from Cycle 19 72 GE13-P9HTB380-12GZ-100T-146-T non-Irradiated Cycle 20 ;
40 GE13-P9HTB379-13GZ-100T-146-T non-Irradiated Cycle 20 An as-loaded Cycle #20 core map is included as Figure #1. Details of the Cycle
- 20 core loading are contained in the GE-Nuclear document, J11-03297CMR, 4
. Cycle Management Report for Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station, Cycle 20, April 1998.
The final as-loaded core loading was verified by Vermont Yankee personnel on May 2,1998 in accordance with Vermont Yankee procedure OP-1411. Three 4 separate criteria were checked:
- 1. Proper bundle seating was checked, corrected as necessary and verified.
- 2. Proper bundle orientation, channel. fastener integrity and upper tie plate cleanliness were checked and verified.
- 3. Proper core loading was verified by check!ng the serial number of each bundle through the use of a video camera. This verification was recorded on video tape and was later independently reviewed and re-verified to
. agree with the licensed core loading of Figure #1.
Strongest rod out subcritical check was performed satisfactorily also on May 2, 1998, after the independent review of the core verification was completed.
This was performed in accordance with OP-1411 as well.
Control rod friction testing was performed in accordance with OP-4111 for twelve control rods during the refueling outage. The twelve rods friction tested were control rods that had the control rod drives replaced during the outage.
Friction testing was complete on May 2,1998 after core verification and the strongest rod out subcritical check were performed satisfactorily.
Control rod coupling verification was performed satisfactorily for all 89 control rods during - follow-up testing after core verification was completed. The 9909010337 990827 PDR ADOCK O 21
verification was completed May 30,1998. Control rod coupling is verified each time a rod is withdrawn to position 48 as well.
Control rod scram time testing was performed in accordance with OP-4424 satisfactorily during the Reactor Hydrostatic Test. All 89 rods were tested satisfactory and data analysis completed on May 29,1998.
An in-sequence critical was performed on June 1,1998. The core shutdown margin was calculated based on data collected from the in-sequence critical and verified to be satisfactory. The Vermont Yankee Technical Specification for shutdown margin was met.
Beginning of Cycle start-up commenced on June 1,1998. Steady-state full power conditions were reached on June 19,1998. A reactor SCRAM on June 9, j 1998 was caused by high water level due to a foreign object in one of the Feed Regulating Valve.
Process Computer Data Checks:
Process computer data shuffling checks were completed on June 3,1998. These checks included various manual and computer checks of the new data constants.
In-Sequence Critical:
The in-sequence critical test was performed on June 1,1998 as part of the reactor startup. Control rod sequence 20-A-2(1) was used to perform the in-sequence critical test. Criticality was achieved on the 9th rod in group 2 (18-31) at notch position 20. The moderator temperature was 142.6 F.
The actual critical rod pattern and the prediction agreed within +/ 1% AK. Figure
- 2 shows the actual, predicted and the +/- 1% AK critical rod patterns.
Cold Shutdown Margin Testing: ,
The cold shutdown margin calculation was performed using data collected during i the in-sequence critical and information provided in the GE Nuclear document, ,
J11-03297CMR, Cycle Management Report for Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power !
Station,' Cycle 20, April 1998. Duke Engineering & Services (formerly Yankee Atomic Electric Company) provided a calculation for the R-value from their core l monitoring code in memo RP-VY-89-066. Per Vermont Yankee Technical Specifications (3.3.A.1) the minimum shutdown margin required is 0.38% Ak/k.
The actual shutdown margin was shown to be 1.08% Ak/k, as determined in accordance with OP-4430.
Control Rod Scram Timing:
Single rod scram timing of all 89 control rods was completed on May 29,1998.
All insertion times were within the Ilmits defined in the Vermont Yankee Technical Specifications. Results of the testing are presented in Table #1.
In accordance with Vermont Yankee Technical Specification Section 4.3.C.2.,
scram time information available for scrams occurring since the transmittal of the previous startup test report is included in Table #2.
Thermal Hydraulic Limits and Power Distribution:
The core maximum fraction of limiting critical power ratio (MFLCPR), the core maximum fraction of limiting power density (CMFLPD), the maximum average planar linear heat generation rate ratio to its limit (MAPRAT) and the ratio of CMFLPD tolthe fraction of rated power (FRP) were all checked daily during the start-up using the plant process computer. All checks of core thermal limits were within the limits specified in the Vermont Yankee Technical Specifications.
The plant process computer power distribution was updated five times Uune 4, 1 1998 @~63% CTP, June 5 @~60% CTP, June 6,1998 @~95% CTP, June 8,1998
@~93%, and June 17,1998 @~100% CTP) using the traversing in-core probe (TIP) system during the ascent to full power. The results of these updates are presented in Table 3.
The local power range monitors (LPRMs) were manually calibrated twice Gune 4, 1998 and again on June 22,1998 at steady state) in conjunction with the TIP system. The LPRM high and low trip alarm set points were verified correct prior )
to start-up on May 20,1998. The TIPS and LPRMs were both functionally tested j and found to operate satisfactorily. A total of 22 APRM gain adjustments were done as required during the start-up from June 1,1998 toJune 19,1998.
The process computer power distribution performed on June 22,1998 was used for the basis of the comparison with the off-line calculation performed using the Duke Engineering & Services nodal code SIMULATE-3. For that power distribution, the SIMULATE-3 core average axial power distribution was compared to that calculated by the plant process computer. Comparisons are shown in Table #4. A comparison was also performed between SIMULATE-3 and the process computer peak radial power. These values show good agreement ,
and are presented in Table #5. l At approximately 25,50,75 and 100 percent power levels the process computer heat balance was compared with an off-line computer calculation. The values of core thermal power from each method were found to be in excellent agreement (within 5 Megawatts thermal).
A core flow calibration was completed on June 16,1998 to ensure that the core ,
l flow calculation by the process computer is accurate over the entire operating range.
TIP Reproducibility and TIP Symmetry:
TIP systeni reproducibility was checked in conjunction with the power distribution update performed on June 22,1998. All tiiree TIP system traces were reproducible to within 2.8%. A check of tip axial alignment was completed
! on June 22,1998 and found to be acceptable.
The total TIP uncertainty was calculated using TIP set 1614. Since the rod pattern was symmetric, the actual plant TIP readings were used in the calculation. The resulting total TIP uncertainty for this case was 1.89%. The results of the TIP uncertainty test as shown in Figure #3 are well below the 8.7% acceptance criteria.
