SEABROOK STATION UPDATED FINAL SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT CHAPTER 14 INITIAL TEST PROGRAM SECTIONS 14.1 Specific Information To Be Included In PSAR 14.2 Specific Information To Be Included In Updated FSAR

SEABROOK INITIAL TEST PROGRAM Revision 8 STATION Section 14.1 UFSAR Specific Information to Be Included in PSAR Page 1 14.1 SPECIFIC INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN PSAR Not applicable to Updated FSAR.

SEABROOK INITIAL TEST PROGRAM Revision 8 STATION Specific Information to Be Included in Updated FSAR Section 14.2 UFSAR Page 1 14.2 SPECIFIC INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN UPDATED FSAR 14.2.1 Summary of Test Program and Objectives A comprehensive initial test program was conducted at Seabrook Station to demonstrate that plant systems, structures, and components performed in a manner that did not endanger the health and safety of the public. The principle objectives of this program are to provide, to the extent practical, assurance of the following:

a. The plant has been properly designed and constructed and is capable of operating safely at performance levels specified in the Updated FSAR

b. The plant operating and emergency procedures have been verified by trial use to be adequate

c. The plant operating and technical personnel are knowledgeable about the plant equipment and procedures and are prepared to operate the facility in a safe manner.

The initial test program included a preoperational test phase and an initial startup test phase.

Preoperational testing consisted of individual system and integrated system tests performed prior to (and in some cases after) initial core load on essentially completed systems and structures. These tests demonstrated, to the extent practical, the capability of systems, structures, and components to meet performance requirements.

Initial startup testing consisted of those single and multi-system activities scheduled to be performed during and following fuel loading. This included precritical tests, initial criticality, low-power tests, and power ascension tests. This testing demonstrated that the plant will operate in accordance with design and the ability of the plant to respond properly to anticipated transients.

14.2.2 Organization and Staffing The Startup Test Department managed and provided overall direction for the initial program. The Startup Test Department consisted of personnel assigned to the plant site with specialties in areas such as primary systems, secondary systems, electrical systems, and plant operations. These individuals were assigned overall responsibility for various aspects of the test program within their areas of expertise. During the performance of system preoperational tests and initial startup tests, the Startup Test Department personnel directed plant operations personnel during test activities and were responsible for the acquisition, review and evaluation of relevant data.

Table 14.2-1 is a responsibility/authority matrix showing the various organizations involved with each portion of the Seabrook initial test program.

SEABROOK INITIAL TEST PROGRAM Revision 8 STATION Specific Information to Be Included in Updated FSAR Section 14.2 UFSAR Page 2 A definition of each of the major responsibilities is provided to clarify its specific intent. This table also presents the organizations responsible for the preparation, review and approval of Preoperational, Acceptance, Startup and Special Test procedures. The responsible design organizations or vendors provided technical support, as requested by their respective onsite organizations, and either reviewed or specified the acceptance criteria used in these test procedures.

The interrelationship of the various organizations during testing activities is discussed in Subsections 14.2.4 and 14.2.5.

To ensure a comprehensive overview of the preoperational test program by the appropriate organizations, a Joint Test Group (JTG) was formed consisting of site representatives of the Startup Test Department, Seabrook Station Operations Staff, and the Nuclear Services Division (YNSD) of Yankee Atomic Electric Company (YAEC). The Startup Manager acted as chairman of the Joint Test Group and had final responsibility for approval of test procedures and test results.

When necessary, personnel from other organizations were invited to attend the meetings of the JTG for information, coordination, or technical advice. The Nuclear Steam Supply System vendor (Westinghouse), the Architect-Engineer (UE&C), and Construction Manager (UE&C) provided technical assistance in their areas of specialty as required throughout the test program.

The JTG was responsible for the following activities:

a. Review and approval of preoperational test procedures

b. Review and approval of changes to preoperational test procedures

c. Review and approval of the results of preoperational tests.

At the time of the start of initial fuel loading, the JTG was dissolved and the Station Operations Review Committee (SORC) assumed the responsibilities stated above during the initial startup testing. During this portion of the program, the appropriate vendor and design organizations provided technical assistance during the initial procedure technical review by the Startup Test Department.

All personnel authorized to direct testing during the test program and to approve the procedures used in these tests were appropriately qualified in accordance with the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.58 (Revision 1, 9/80) as further clarified in Section 1.8. Personnel authorized to direct preoperational and startup tests (Phases 2 through 6) also met the additional requirements of a Bachelor's Degree in Engineering or related science with a minimum of one year's experience acquired in testing, operation, and maintenance of nuclear power generating facilities for the direction of preoperational tests and a minimum of two years' experience for the direction of startup tests. For personnel who did not possess the formal education, this requirement was waived if other factors provided sufficient demonstration of ability. Personnel assigned to the Startup Test Department also received additional training in the administration and requirements of the test program. The qualifications of the station operating and technical staff are discussed in Section 13.1.

SEABROOK INITIAL TEST PROGRAM Revision 8 STATION Specific Information to Be Included in Updated FSAR Section 14.2 UFSAR Page 3 14.2.3 Test Procedures The initial test program was conducted using written procedures for each individual test. Tests of systems and equipment performed prior to (or in some cases after) initial core load are designated as either Preoperational Tests (PT) or Acceptance Tests (AT). Preoperational Tests are subdivided into either of the following categories:

a. Individual systems tests demonstrate the proper operation of plant systems and equipment which perform a safety-related function.

b. Integrated systems tests involve the integrated operation of plant systems and equipment to demonstrate or verify a safety-related function.

Acceptance Tests demonstrated the proper operation of nonsafety-related plant systems and equipment.

Tests performed as part of or subsequent to loading of fuel into the reactor core were designated as Startup Tests (ST). In addition, Special Test Procedures (STP) not in the original scope of the test program were used for situations that required the performance of a test for investigative or data collection purposes.

Each test specified above contained as a minimum, the following sections:

a. Test Objectives

b. Prerequisites

c. Special Precautions

d. Initial Conditions (including environmental)

e. Test Instructions

f. Final Conditions

g. Acceptance Criteria.

The Test Instructions section of the test provided data blanks or reference data sheets which specifically identified the data recorded in each test. Means were provided to identify the individuals who witness or record data during each test and the instrumentation used for data collection. Administrative procedures were provided to specify proper methods for collection and retention of test data.

Table 14.2-1 shows the organizations responsible for the preparation, review and approval of Preoperational, Acceptance, Startup and Special Test procedures. The responsible design organizations or vendors provided technical support, as requested by their respective onsite organizations, and either reviewed or specified the acceptance criteria used in these test procedures.

SEABROOK INITIAL TEST PROGRAM Revision 8 STATION Specific Information to Be Included in Updated FSAR Section 14.2 UFSAR Page 4 14.2.4 Conduct of the Test Program The preoperational test program was administered in accordance with the Preoperational Test Program Description which was prepared by the Startup Test Department and approved by the Joint Test Group participating organizations. Where necessary, due to certain unique activities associated with testing, administrative procedures were prepared by the Startup Test Department, reviewed by the Joint Test Group, and the Startup Manager had final responsibility for approval.

Otherwise, station administrative procedures were used as applicable during the initial test program.

The initial startup program was administered in accordance with a startup procedure which was prepared by the Startup Test Department and approved by the Station Operations Review Committee, with the Station Manager having final approval responsibility. Normal station administrative procedures were used during the initial startup program.

Prior to the performance of a system preoperational or acceptance test, a test engineer (or engineers) was assigned by the Startup Test Department to direct the test. For startup tests, Startup Test Department engineers or appropriately qualified station staff technical personnel were assigned test director responsibility. These individuals were responsible for ensuring that prerequisites were completed, precautions complied with and initial conditions established. They then directed the station operating personnel in the performance of the test and assured all applicable data was recorded. Station operating personnel were responsible for the safe and proper operation of the plant and its associated equipment throughout the test program. The Shift Supervisor took whatever action necessary including, but not limited to, stopping any test and placing plant equipment in a safe condition.

All field changes to preoperational and acceptance test procedures were approved by the Shift Test Director prior to performance. The JTG reviewed all such field changes within fourteen days of implementation. All changes to startup test procedures were approved in accordance with Technical Specification requirements.

All plant modifications which were initiated as a result of system pre-operational or acceptance tests were controlled in accordance with the procedure for modifications during plant construction.

Any such modifications or repairs were retested to the requirements of the test procedure.

Subsequent to the completion of the system preoperational test, all modifications or repair activities were performed and retested in accordance with the normal station administrative procedures for modifications or maintenance as applicable.

SEABROOK INITIAL TEST PROGRAM Revision 8 STATION Specific Information to Be Included in Updated FSAR Section 14.2 UFSAR Page 5 14.2.5 Review, Evaluation and Approval of Test Results Upon completion of each preoperational, acceptance, or startup test, the responsible test engineers reviewed the test data for completeness, performed any evaluations or calculations required, and compared the results to the stated acceptance criteria. Any unresolved or incomplete items, including acceptance criteria, were described on a summary list of test exceptions. The test results then were submitted to the Joint Test Group or Station Operations Review Committee, as applicable, for test result review. Upon satisfactory review by the Joint Test Group or Station Operations Review Committee, the test results were approved by the Startup Manager or the Station Manager.

Prior to the start of fuel loading, a final review was made by the Joint Test Group of the preoperational test program to ensure all required preoperational and acceptance tests were conducted and test results approved.

If during the course of the preoperational test program, it was necessary to delay a portion of a preoperational test, such tests were incorporated into the startup test program if adequate justification was present for delaying the test beyond core load. At this time, only AT-17, waste solidification system test, may be performed subsequent to core loading. This may be required if a permanent Waste Solidification System is not designed and installed at the time of fuel loading.

This system was tested subsequent to installation independent of the startup program.

Prior to the start of each major phase of the initial startup program identified in Table 14.2-2, the Station Operations Review Committee performed a preliminary review of all prerequisite testing to ensure that it was satisfactorily completed to the extent necessary to perform the next phase of the startup program. The committee used a prerequisite list which was approved prior to the start of any test in the subsequent phase of testing.

14.2.6 Test Records A copy of all Preoperational Tests, Acceptance Tests, Startup Tests, Special Test Procedures, and all relevant data recorded during the conduct of the tests will be maintained for the life of the station in accordance with station procedures for record retention.

14.2.7 Conformance of Test Programs with Regulatory Guides The Regulatory Guides listed below were followed, to the degree indicated, during the conduct of the Seabrook Station initial test program.

Regulatory Guide 1.8, Rev. 1-R Personnel Selection and Training The initial personnel selection and training program met the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.8 (1977 edition). For current status, see Sections 13.1 and 13.2.

SEABROOK INITIAL TEST PROGRAM Revision 8 STATION Specific Information to Be Included in Updated FSAR Section 14.2 UFSAR Page 6 Regulatory Guide 1.20, Rev.2 Comprehensive Vibration Assessment Program for Reactor Internals During Preoperational and Initial Startup Testing The Westinghouse position on Regulatory Guide 1.20, Rev. 2, is discussed in Subsection 3.9(N).2.4.

Regulatory Guide 1.33, Rev. 2 Quality Assurance Program Requirements (Operation)

The quality assurance program for operation complies with the requirements of this Regulatory Guide. For further discussion, see Section 17.2.

Regulatory Guide 1.41, Rev. 0 Preoperational Testing of Redundant Electric Power Systems to Verify Proper Load Group Assessments Seabrook Station conforms with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.41.

Regulatory Guide 1.52, Rev.2 Design, Testing and Maintenance Criteria for Engineered Safety Feature Atmosphere Cleanup System Air Filtration and Absorption Units of Light Water Cooled Nuclear Power Plants A detailed discussion on the degree of conformance to Regulatory Guide 1.52 is found in Subsection 6.5.1.

Regulatory Guide 1.68, Rev. 2 Initial Test Programs for Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants The initial test program for Seabrook Station was conducted in accordance with the intent of Regulatory Guide 1.68 except for the items specified below:

a. During the preoperational test program, no practical method existed to vary system voltage to obtain maximum and minimum design voltages. The intent of the requirement to demonstrate that the emergency loads can start and operate with the maximum and minimum design voltage available was met by testing the emergency loads under plant light load conditions to simulate the maximum practically obtainable voltage and under plant heavy load conditions to simulate the minimum practically obtainable voltage. The results of this testing were compared to the station voltage study to verify the adequacy of the analytical model (Appendix A, Subsection 1.g.2).

SEABROOK INITIAL TEST PROGRAM Revision 8 STATION Specific Information to Be Included in Updated FSAR Section 14.2 UFSAR Page 7

b. During the power ascension testing phase, tests were scheduled so that the safety of the plant was not dependent on the performance of an untested system or feature. Power ascension testing was performed at power plateaus of approximately 30%, 50%, 75% and 100%. It was required that testing be performed at 30% rather than 25% because individual system stability is increased at 30% (e.g., Feedwater System). This allows comparison of steady-state conditions with the design at low power. Westinghouse-supplied plants have historically conducted tests at 30% and, therefore, generic data was available for review and comparison.

c. Throughout core loading and precritical tests, the shutdown margin was verified by periodic sampling of core coolant and verification that boron concentration was maintained at or above the Technical Specification concentration limit for refueling conditions (Appendix A, Section 2.a).

d. Control rod runback and partial scram features are not used in the Seabrook Station design and, therefore, were not tested during power escalation (Appendix A, Section 5.j).

e. A demonstration of the capability of systems and components to remove residual heat or decay heat from the Reactor Coolant System was performed during power ascension testing only if not performed during hot functional or low power tests (Appendix A, Section 5.1).

f. The failed fuel detection system is not applicable to the Seabrook design and, therefore, was not tested during power escalation (Appendix A, Section 5.q).

g. The integrated control system and the Reactor Coolant Flow Control System are not applicable to the Seabrook Station design and therefore, were not tested during power escalation. The Startup and Emergency Feedwater Control Systems and the Steam Pressure Control Systems are only used in the hot shutdown, hot standby or low power operating modes. These systems cannot be tested during power ascension (Appendix A, Section 5.s).

h. A demonstration of the dynamic response of the plant to a loss of or bypassing of a feedwater heater(s) was not performed. As shown in Subsection 15.1.1, the transient resulting from the most severe case of feedwater temperature reduction initiated by a single failure or operator error is similar to, but of a lesser magnitude than the excessive load increase (load swing). The load swing test was performed at several major plateaus.

i. As shown in Subsections 15.2.3 and 15.2.4, dynamic response of the plant to a MSIV closure is bounded by the response of the plant to the turbine trip event.

Plant response to a turbine trip was demonstrated during performance of ST-38, unit trip from 100 percent power (Appendix A, Subsection 5.m.m).

SEABROOK INITIAL TEST PROGRAM Revision 8 STATION Specific Information to Be Included in Updated FSAR Section 14.2 UFSAR Page 8

j. The ability of the movable incore neutron flux instrumentation to detect control rod misalignments was not performed. The excore neutron flux instrumentation is not designed to detect a local condition such as a misaligned RCCA, but rather a more global anomalous core condition. The movable incore flux instrumentation is not intended to specifically detect a misaligned control rod, but may be able to confirm an RCCA misalignment initially detected by the Rod Position Indication System. The individual Rod Position Indication System is the primary means for detecting RCCA misalignments. Since at 100 percent power the control rods are essentially withdrawn, individual rod worth is such that the ability of the movable incore instrumentation to detect a control rod misalignment is limited. The basis for this deletion is that the original requirement was imposed to demonstrate alternative instrumentation capabilities in detecting a misaligned control rod.

With the advent of the Digital Rod Position Indication (DRPI) System, the need for accurate and sensitive alternative indications has been essentially eliminated.

In any case, the distribution and number of the incore and excore flux instrumentation has not been changed and is identical to all Westinghouse four-loop plants since Indian Point 2. Since that time, the capability and sensitivity of the excore and incore flux instrumentation has been demonstrated numerous times (Appendix A, Section 5.1).

k. Vibration levels of the Reactor Coolant System and piping reaction to transient conditions are measured during hot functional testing (Appendix A.2.f).

l. Evaluation of rod scram times for scrams that occur during power ascension was not performed since no practical method for obtaining this data exists for a Westinghouse PWR (Appendix A, Section 5.h).

m. The static rod drop test was not performed at Seabrook. Performance of this test at other facilities has resulted in abnormally high power tilts and large xenon oscillations and may increase the risk of fuel failure. Performance of this test at plants similar to Seabrook has provided ample data to demonstrate that Westinghouse computer codes are able to adequately predict core thermal and nuclear parameters for RCCA misalignments up to and including full insertion of a single high worth rod. In addition, following performance of this test at Catawba, INPO has recommended that utilities delete this test from their startup programs (Appendix A, Section 5.f).

n. The pseudo-rod ejection test was not performed at greater than 10% power at Seabrook. Performance of this test may result in violation of the Technical Specification limits on peaking factor. Since the accident analysis for Seabrook shows the at-power ejected rod worth and power peaking factors are bounded by the zero power case, the calculation model was verified during the pseudo-rod-ejection test at zero power (Appendix A, Section 5.e).

SEABROOK INITIAL TEST PROGRAM Revision 8 STATION Specific Information to Be Included in Updated FSAR Section 14.2 UFSAR Page 9

o. Control rod scram times were measured at hot full-flow conditions only. Testing at no-flow conditions would require unnecessary and undesirable cycling of the reactor coolant pumps to be in compliance with the Technical Specifications. In addition, the hot full-flow condition is the limiting condition required by Technical Specifications (Appendix A, Section 2.b).

Regulatory Guide 1.79, Rev.1 Preoperational Testing of Emergency Core Cooling Systems for Pressurized Water Reactors The initial test program for Seabrook Station was conducted in accordance with the intent of Regulatory Guide 1.79 except for the following:

a. Subsection C.1.c.(2) specifies that an opening test of the accumulator isolation valves be performed at the maximum differential pressure that the valve will experience using both normal and emergency power supplies. Since the valve operational capability is independent of the source of power and the valve motors are a small fraction of the rating of the emergency power supply, the valves were cycled at maximum differential pressure using the normal power supply only.

b. Subsection C.1.a.(2) specifies that a flow test at hot operating conditions be initiated by actuation of the safety injection signal. Since the intent of the test is to verify the ability to deliver cooling water to the vessel under simulated accident conditions, manual actuation of pump operation is considered sufficient to initiate the system and will permit rapid termination of the injection to minimize thermal shock effects. If a safety injection actuation signal is used, the pumps cannot be readily de-energized due to circuit time delays, resulting in a greater thermal shock to the primary system. Integrated system response to an actuation signal was demonstrated in other tests.

Regulatory Guide 1.80, Rev. 0 Preoperational Testing of Instrument Air Systems The initial test program for Seabrook Station was conducted in accordance with the intent of Regulatory Guide 1.80 except for the following:

a. The loss-of-instrument-air supply test described in Sections C.8, C.9 and C.10 was performed only on the portion of the Instrument Air System which performs a safety-related function and uses instrument air in the performance of that function.

b. Section C.11 requires that the results of preoperational testing of the instrument air system be included in the startup report. This requirement is in conflict with the reporting requirements of Section C.9 of Regulatory Guide 1.68, Rev. 2. The guidelines contained in Regulatory Guide 1.68 were followed for handling the results of the instrument air preoperational testing.

SEABROOK INITIAL TEST PROGRAM Revision 8 STATION Specific Information to Be Included in Updated FSAR Section 14.2 UFSAR Page 10 Regulatory Guide 1.108, Rev. 1 Periodic Testing of Diesel Generators Used as Onsite Electric Power Systems at Nuclear Power Plants Seabrook Station is generally in conformance with Regulatory Guide 1.108.

The detailed discussion on this guide is found in Section 1.8.

Regulatory Guide 1.128, Rev. 1 Installation Design and Installation of Large Storage Batteries for Nuclear Power Plants Seabrook Station is generally in conformance with Regulatory Guide 1.128.

The detailed discussion on this guide is found in Subsections 8.3.2 and 8.3.3.

Regulatory Guide 1.140, Rev. 1 Design, Testing and Maintenance Criteria for Normal Ventilation Exhaust System Air Filtration and Adsorption Units of Light Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants A discussion of the degree of conformance to this regulatory guide is found in Section 1.8. Initial testing of the applicable filtration systems was in accordance with the recommendations contained in this regulatory guide.

14.2.8 Utilization of Reactor Operating and Testing Experiences in Development of the Test Program The Startup Test Department performed a survey of PWR operating experiences, encompassing approximately similar power plants over at least the two previous years. The survey identified operating problem areas or categories of abnormal occurrences that are repeatedly being experienced by other facilities. This information was incorporated appropriately into the Seabrook Startup Program.

14.2.9 Trial Use of Plant Operating and Emergency Procedures The procedures used to conduct the preoperational test program referenced the station operating, emergency and surveillance procedures whenever possible. During initial startup, plant operating and emergency procedures were used almost exclusively to operate the plant and its systems.

Whenever corrections to station procedures were identified during testing, the corrections were evaluated and the procedures revised accordingly.

A description of station procedures is provided in Section 13.5.

14.2.10 Initial Fuel Loading and Initial Criticality The following describes the general approach used to prepare for and perform initial fuel loading and initial criticality. Detailed procedures prepared and approved in accordance with Table 14.2-1 governed the actual work activities.

SEABROOK INITIAL TEST PROGRAM Revision 8 STATION Specific Information to Be Included in Updated FSAR Section 14.2 UFSAR Page 11 14.2.10.1 Initial Fuel Loading Initial fuel loading did not begin until all prerequisite system tests and operations were completed to the satisfaction of the Station Operations Review Committee.

Fuel handling tools and equipment were checked out and dry runs conducted in the use and operation of the tools and equipment.

The containment integrity was established as required by Station Technical Specifications for the refueling mode.

The reactor vessel and associated components were ready to receive fuel. Water level was maintained above the bottom of the nozzles and recirculation maintained to assure a uniform boron concentration. Boron concentration can be increased via emergency boration or the addition of borated water directly to the open vessel. The refueling cavity remained dry during initial fuel loading activities.

The overall responsibility and direction for initial fuel loading was exercised by the station staff.

The loading was directly supervised by a Senior Licensed Operator having no concurrent duties.

The process was directed from the operating floor of the containment structure. Procedures for the control of personnel access and the maintenance of containment security were established prior to fuel loading.

The as-loaded core configuration is specified as part of the core design studies conducted in advance and is not expected to change. In the event that mechanical damage occurs to a fuel assembly and no spare is available onsite, an alternate core loading scheme whose characteristics closely approximate that of the initially prescribed pattern will be determined.

The core was assembled in the reactor vessel. The fuel assemblies were submerged in reactor grade water containing enough dissolved boric acid to maintain a calculated core effective multiplication factor within Technical Specification limits. Core moderator chemistry conditions (particularly boron concentration) were prescribed in the core loading procedure and were verified at a specified frequency by chemistry sample and analysis.

Core loading instrumentation consists of two permanently installed source range (pulse type) channels and two temporary incore source range channels. A third temporary channel may also be used as a spare. The temporary channels are monitored in the containment structure. Both permanent channels can display the neutron flux level on a strip chart recorder. One permanent channel is also equipped with an audible count rate indicator; the temporary channels indicate on scalers with a minimum of one channel recorded on a strip chart recorder. Minimum count rates of one-half count per second, attributable to core neutrons, are required on at least two of the four available source range channels at all times following installation of the initial nucleus of eight fuel assemblies. A response check of the source range channels to a neutron source was performed within eight hours prior to the start of core loading (or resumption of loading if delayed for more than eight hours).

SEABROOK INITIAL TEST PROGRAM Revision 8 STATION Specific Information to Be Included in Updated FSAR Section 14.2 UFSAR Page 12 At least two artificial neutron sources were introduced into the core at appropriate specified points in the core loading program to ensure a detector response of at least one-half count per second attributable to neutrons.

Fuel assemblies, together with inserted components (control rod assemblies, burnable poison assemblies, neutron source assemblies, or thimble plugging devices), were placed in the reactor vessel one-at-a-time according to a previously approved sequence which was developed to provide reliable core monitoring during fuel loading activities. The core loading procedure documents included check sheets which specified and verified the sequential movement of each fuel assembly from its initial position in the storage racks to its final position in the core. Multiple checks were made of component serial numbers and types to guard against possible inadvertent exchanges or substitutions of components. Visual inspections were made to verify proper seating and orientation of fuel assemblies and components. Fuel assembly status boards were maintained throughout the core loading operation.

An initial nucleus of eight fuel assemblies, one of which contains a neutron source, is considered the minimum source-fuel nucleus which permits meaningful inverse count rate monitoring. This initial nucleus is determined by calculation to be markedly subcritical under the conditions of loading.

Each subsequent fuel addition is accompanied by neutron count rate monitoring to determine that the just-loaded fuel assembly does not excessively increase the count rate and that the extrapolated inverse count rate ratio is not decreasing for unexplained reasons. The results of each loading step were evaluated before the next sequential step was started. The final, as-loaded, core configuration was subcritical (keff 0.95) under the required loading conditions.

Criteria for safe loading require that loading operations stop immediately if any of the below conditions exist:

a. An unanticipated increase in the neutron count rates by a factor of 2 occurs on all responding nuclear channels during any single loading step after the initial nucleus of eight fuel assemblies are loaded

b. An unanticipated increase in the count rate by a factor of 5 occurs on any individual responding nuclear channel during any single loading step after the initial nucleus of eight fuel assemblies are loaded

c. An unexplained decrease in boron concentration greater than 20 ppm from nominal as determined from samples of reactor coolant water.

SEABROOK INITIAL TEST PROGRAM Revision 8 STATION Specific Information to Be Included in Updated FSAR Section 14.2 UFSAR Page 13 An alarm in the Containment and control room is connected to the source range channels with an alarm setpoint equal to or less than five times the current count rate. This alarm automatically alerts the personnel performing loading operations that a high count rate condition exists and requires an immediate stop of all operations until the condition is evaluated. If the alarm is actuated during core loading, preselected personnel are permitted to remain in the Containment to evaluate the cause and determine further action.

In addition to the above, fuel loading procedures specify the condition of fluid systems to prevent inadvertent dilution of the reactor coolant boron concentration; define the means of fuel movement and handling to prevent the possibility of mechanical damage; define the criteria for stopping fuel loading, containment evacuation, and emergency boration; define the conditions that must exist for fuel loading to proceed; define responsibility and authority of personnel involved in the operation; and provide for fuel and core component accountability and status.

14.2.10.2 Initial Criticality Upon completion of fuel loading, the reactor upper internals and the pressure vessel head were installed. Mechanical and electrical tests were performed on the control rod drive mechanisms.

These tests included a complete operational checkout of the mechanisms and calibration of the individual Rod Position Indication System.

Tests are performed on the reactor trip circuits to verify manual trip operation of control assemblies. The control assembly drop times are measured for each control rod assembly at hot full flow conditions.

During control rod drive mechanism testing, the boron concentration in the coolant-moderator is maintained so that the shutdown margin requirements specified in the Technical Specifications are met. During individual control assembly or control bank movement, source range instrumentation is monitored for unexpected changes in core reactivity. A functional check is made of the moveable Incore Detector System and a leak test of the Reactor Coolant System is performed. Just prior to the approach to criticality, a functional test of the nuclear instrumentation is conducted, including verification that the high flux scram setpoint is set at a low value.

Initial criticality was achieved with the reactor at normal operating temperature and pressure by a combination of shutdown and control bank withdrawal and reactor coolant system boron reduction.

Inverse count rate ratio monitoring, using data from the normal plant source range instruments, is used as an indication of the proximity and rate of approach to criticality. Inverse count rate ratio data are plotted as a function of rod bank position during rod motion and as a function of primary water addition during reactor coolant system boron concentration reduction.

Initially, the shutdown and control banks are withdrawn in the normal withdrawal sequence leaving the last withdrawn control bank inserted far enough in the core to provide effective control when criticality is achieved.

SEABROOK INITIAL TEST PROGRAM Revision 8 STATION Specific Information to Be Included in Updated FSAR Section 14.2 UFSAR Page 14 The boron concentration of the Reactor Coolant System is then reduced by the addition of primary water. Criticality is achieved during boron dilution or by subsequent rod withdrawal following boron dilution. The rate of primary water addition and, therefore, the rate of approach to criticality may be reduced as the reactor approaches criticality to ensure that effective control is maintained. Throughout this period, samples of reactor coolant are obtained and analyzed for boron concentration.

Written procedures specify the plant conditions, precautions and specific instructions for the approach to criticality and for limiting the period to more than thirty seconds once criticality is achieved.

14.2.11 Test Program Schedule The initial test program consisted of a preoperational test phase and a startup test phase. The preoperational phase of testing of individual plant systems began after construction of the system was essentially complete and construction verification tests (hydrostatic tests, control circuits checks, etc.), system flushing, and preliminary system operational checks (instrument calibration, pump and motor operation, valve checks, etc.) were completed. Each system preoperational or acceptance test demonstrated, to the extent practical, the ability of the system and equipment to perform its design function in accordance with the Updated FSAR requirements.

The individual system preoperational and acceptance tests proceeded concurrently as individual system construction and preliminary testing was completed. When the appropriate systems were turned over to the station staff, integrated system preoperational tests were performed. The principal milestones during this phase of the program were the reactor vessel hydrostatic test and integrated hot functional tests. Tests of other systems were scheduled as appropriate to support these events. Subsection 14.2.12 provides more detailed information on each test performed during the preoperational phase of the program.

The startup test phase commenced at initial fuel loading. Initial fuel loading and initial criticality are discussed in Subsection 14.2.10. Subsequent to initial criticality, low power reactor physics tests were performed. During these tests, measurements were performed to verify the calculated values of control rod bank reactivity worths, isothermal temperature coefficients, and differential boron concentrations as a function of control rod configuration.

When the reactivity control characteristics of the reactor were verified by the low power tests, a program of power level escalation brought the unit to its full-rated power level. During the power escalation, pre-determined tests were conducted to verify that the reactor and unit perform as expected at 30%, 50%, 75% and 100% power. Tests were scheduled so that the safety of the plant was not dependent on the performance of an untested system or feature. Subsection 14.2.12 provides more detailed information on each test that was performed during low power testing and power escalation.
