==1.0 INTRODUCTION== | ==1.0 INTRODUCTION== | ||
The lnitial Startup Report for the Watts Bar Unit 2 nuclear plant discusses the results of testing performed from initial core load through full power operation. | |||
This report address each of the power ascension tests identified in Chapter 14 of the WBN Unit 2 UFSAR and other license commitments. The report includes a description of the measured values of the operating conditions or characteristics obtained during the testing program and a comparison of these values with design predictions and specifications. Any corrective actions that were required to obtain satisfactory operation are also described. | |||
WBN Unit 2 UFSAR Chapter 14.2.6, Test Records, requires the Startup Report be submitted within: | |||
(1) 90 days following completion of the Startup Test Program, (2) 90 days following resumption or commencement of commercial power operation, or (3) 9 months following initial criticality, whichever is earliest. | |||
lf the Startup Report does not cover all three events (i.e., initial criticality, completion of Startup Test Program, and resumption or commencement of commercial power operation), supplementary reports shall be submitted at least every 3 months until allthree events have been completed. | |||
Item (1) is being satisfied since the Power Ascension Test Program was completed on October 6, 2016. | |||
WBN Unit 2 Facility Operating License No. NPF-96 was issued on October 22, 2015. lnitial Fuel load commenced with movement of the first fuel assembly at 20:49 on December 4, 2015. Core loading was completed at 02:10 on December 8, 2015. lnitial criticality was achieved at 02:16 on May 23,2016. Further testing was successfully completed at the following plateaus: | |||
Test Plateou, % RTP Date Completed 30 June 16, 2016 50 July 16, 2016 75 July 29,2016 90 August 29,2016 100 October 6 ,2016 lnitial Fuel load, precritical testing, initial criticality and low power physics testing, and power ascension testing are discussed in separate sections of the report. | |||
The report details the test objectives, methodology, test results, and problems noted for each of the tests performed. | |||
==1.0 INTRODUCTION== | |||
(continued) | |||
Acceptance Criteria is defined as safety related performance parameters defined in the Design Output, vendor documents, TVA or vendor drawings, NRC commitments, other licensing and design documents, and so forth, that must be exhibited during the performance of a PAT or PET. Failure to meet an acceptance criterion is considered to be a safety related issue. | |||
A 10CFR50.59 Evaluation per NPG-SPP-09.4, 10 CFR 50.59 Evaluations of Changes, Tests, and Experiments or a Technical Evaluation per NPG-SPP-09.3, Plant Modifications and Engineering Change Control, may be required and testing may be stopped. The subsequent course of action will be determined by the nature of the discrepancy and applicable Technical Specifications. Failure to meet Acceptance Criteria will be documented in a Condition Report (CR). | |||
Review Criteria encompasses other performance parameters defined in the UFSAR, design criteria, vendor documents, drawings (TVA or vendor), other licensing, design, setpoint and operational documents that are expected to be exhibited during performance of a PAT or PET. These criteria should be viewed as a guide to possible measurement or design errors. Failure to meet these criteria do not by themselves constitute problems. While prudent measures should be taken to resolve any conflict between measurements and predictions, failure of these criteria do not require 10CFR50.59 Evaluations, per NPG-SPP-09.4, and do not require testing or power ascension to be stopped for resolution. | |||
Failure to meet these review criteria will be documented in a CR. | |||
2.0 POWER ASCENSTON TEST PROGRAM (pATp) OVERVTEW The PATP was developed from testing described in Chapter 14 of the WBN Unit 2 UFSAR and requirements specified in Regulatory Guide 1.68, Revision 2, "lnitial Test Programs for Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants".

1.0 INTRODUCTION
(continued)
Acceptance Criteria is defined as safety related performance parameters defined in the Design Output, vendor documents, TVA or vendor drawings, NRC commitments, other licensing and design documents, and so forth, that must be exhibited during the performance of a PAT or PET. Failure to meet an acceptance criterion is considered to be a safety related issue.
A 10CFR50.59 Evaluation per NPG-SPP-09.4, 10 CFR 50.59 Evaluations of Changes, Tests, and Experiments or a Technical Evaluation per NPG-SPP-09.3, Plant Modifications and Engineering Change Control, may be required and testing may be stopped. The subsequent course of action will be determined by the nature of the discrepancy and applicable Technical Specifications. Failure to meet Acceptance Criteria will be documented in a Condition Report (CR).
Review Criteria encompasses other performance parameters defined in the UFSAR, design criteria, vendor documents, drawings (TVA or vendor), other licensing, design, setpoint and operational documents that are expected to be exhibited during performance of a PAT or PET. These criteria should be viewed as a guide to possible measurement or design errors. Failure to meet these criteria do not by themselves constitute problems. While prudent measures should be taken to resolve any conflict between measurements and predictions, failure of these criteria do not require 10CFR50.59 Evaluations, per NPG-SPP-09.4, and do not require testing or power ascension to be stopped for resolution.
Failure to meet these review criteria will be documented in a CR.
2.0 POWER ASCENSTON TEST PROGRAM (pATp) OVERVTEW The PATP was developed from testing described in Chapter 14 of the WBN Unit 2 UFSAR and requirements specified in Regulatory Guide 1.68, Revision 2, "lnitial Test Programs for Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants". Testing of the NSSS followed Westinghouse test methodology.
2.1 Administration of the Program The Site Vice President had the overall responsibility for the PATP.
Overall management of the PATP was directed by the Plant Manager who was responsible for:
o Development and implementation of the PATP to ensure the PATP was conducted in a safe and efficient manner while complying with license provisions and other commitments.
. Establishing the Power Ascension Testing Organization.
o Advising senior management on PATP activities.
o Establishing a Technical Review Group (TRG) as a subcommittee of the PORC to review PATP activities.
o Providing final approval of Power Ascension Tests (PATs) and selected other procedures.
o Ensuring the PATP was conducted in accordance with applicable WBN Administrative Procedures.
o Providing approvalto proceed to the next PATP test plateau.
o Providing final approval of all each test package and the Startup Report.
The Power Ascension Test Manager was responsible for:
o Notifoing the plant manager of major problems and of the completion of each major test phase (i.e., test sequence) of the program.
. Ensuring the PATs and the PETs were available for NRC review a minimum of 60 days before the scheduled fuel load date.
o Ensuring the technicaljustification and schedule, including power level for completion of delaying preoperational tests, were provided to the NRC staff prior to fuel Ioad.
2.1 Administration of the Program (continued) o Ensuring the requirements of TVA-SPP-30.010, lnitial Synchronization of TVA Generating Assets to TVA's Transmission System, were met.
. Developing and implementing plans and schedules for the PATP.
. Ensuring testing activities, including planning and scheduling, resulted in safe plant operations and that were not dependent on the performance of untested systems.
. Coordinating and directing overall PATP testing and related activities and requirements with appropriate support groups.
. Supervising test personnel assigned to the power ascension testing group.
o Assigning responsibilities to organizations for specific testing requirements.
o Participating in the review activities of the TRG, and acting as Chairman of the TRG.
o Ensuring the test procedures were reviewed by the TRG.
o Ensuring the Startup Report was reviewed by the TRG.
o Ensuring additional startup Reports were prepared, reviewed, approved and transmitted to the NRC as needed.
o Ensuring the post-performance test results (i.e., test packages) were reviewed by TRG.
o Ensuring test directors for the PATP were qualified, and met the minimum qualifications of ltem 1 and either ltem 2 or ltem 3 below and ensuring other required individuals (e.9. lndependent Verifiers (lV) and Concurrent Verifiers (CV) were qualified to perform the tasks assigned:
- 1. Knowledgeable of the test program administration, the system design and operational requirements, and expected plant operational characteristics during the test, and Trained as test coordinators in accordance with NPG-SPP-06.9.1, Conduct of Testing.
2.1 Administration of the Program (continued)
- 2. Possessed a bachelor degree in engineering or physical science, and Had two years experience in power plant testing or operation.
Included in the two years was one year nuclear power plant testing, operating or training on a nuclear facility.
- 3. Possessed a high school diploma or equivalent, and Had five years experience in power plant testing. lncluded in the five years were two years of nuclear power plant experience.
Credit for up to two years of related technical experience could be substituted for experience on a one-for-one basis.
Technical and administrative oversight of the PATP was performed by TRG which was composed of one representative, or their alternates, from each of the following organizations:
o Plant Operations o Reactor Engineering o Site Engineering
. Corporate Nuclear Fuels o Power Ascension Testing o Westinghouse TRG was charged with reviewing PATP testing activities for technical adequacy and affecUimpact on nuclear safety, and advising PORC and the plant manager on the disposition of those items reviewed. The responsibilities of TRG included final review and recommendation of approval of al! PATP test procedures, revisions, and test results.
Following completion of testing at each major test sequence of the PATP, test results were reviewed by TRG to ensure required tests had been performed.
TRG also ensured Acceptance Criteria were satisfied; test deficiencies had proper dispositions, appropriate retesting had been completed, and test results had been reviewed by appropriate designated personnel prior to proceeding to the next major test sequence. This review ensured that all required systems were operating properly and that testing for the next major test sequence could be conducted in a safe and efficient manner.
2.2 Implementation of the Program The WBN PATP utilized information gained from operating and testing experience at other nuclear plants. This information was used in the development of the PATP test procedures and schedules and to alert personnel to potential problem areas.
Test procedures were developed utilizing information obtained from Operating Experience (OE) database. The TVA Operating Experience Program identifies and evaluates experience gained from other TVA nuclear plants, INPO, NRC, equipment suppliers, and from other utilities. Significant operational experience and events were reviewed and integrated into appropriate PATP test procedures to ensure nuclear safety and reliability. To the extent practical, simulator-based training and trial use of the PATP test procedures were performed on the WBN simulator to familiarize personnel with systems and plant operation and to assure technical adequacy of the procedures under simulated plant conditions prior to field use during power operation.
The testing program was conducted by qualified personnel using approved plant administrative, test, and operating procedures. The plant was taken from core load to full power in a highly controlled, conservative, and documented manner which demonstrated, where practical:
The plant is ready to operate in a manner which will not endanger the health and safety of the public.
The plant has been properly constructed, and plant performance is satisfactory in terms of established design criteria.
The plant meets licensing requirements and provides assurance of plant reliability for operation.
o The plant is capable of withstanding anticipated transients and postulated accidents.
The PATP was specified in seven PAT sequence procedures:
. 2-PAT-2.0, lnitial Core Loading Sequence
. 2-PAT-3.0, Post Core Loading Precritical Test Sequence o 2-PAT-4.A, lnitial Criticality and Low Power Test Sequence
. 2-PAT-5.0, Test Sequence for 30% Plateau o 2-PAT-6.0, Test Sequence for 50% Plateau o 2-PAT-7.0, Test Sequence for 75% Plateau o 2-PAT-8.0, Test Sequence for 1A0o/o Plateau
2.2 lmplementation of the Program (continued)
Each PAT sequence procedure called out the performance of other PATs, as well as other designated plant procedures such as PETs, Sls, TRls, Tls, RCls and FHls. The sequence procedures specified the logica! performance of required tests and procedures through each test plateau. The sequence procedures also specified general prerequisites, precautions and limitations, and additional operational steps at each test plateau. The detailed test and normal plant procedures called out by the sequence procedures defined step-by-step actions, specific prerequisites and limitations, signoffs, data taking requirements, and test acceptance and review criteria.
The PATP commenced with the receipt of the Facility Operating License on October 22, 2015, and progressed with core loading, precritical testing, initial criticality and low power physics testing, and power ascension testing. Core load procedures directed the initial core load in a prescribed manner which ensured core loading was accomplished in a safe and orderly fashion. Precritica! testing brought the plant to hot standby conditions, made measurements, and demonstrated that the plant was ready for critical operation. lnitial criticality on May 23,2016, brought the Unit 2 reactor critica! for the first time. Low power physics testing performed measurements on the critical reactor to demonstrate conformance with design predictions prior to power operation. PAT brought the plant to full power, made minor plant instrumentation adjustments, and demonstrated the plant's ability to withstand selected transients. Figure 2.0-1 depicts the time line for the PATP.
Plant events not directly associated with the PATP added to the duration of the program. These events are included in the chronology.
2.3
SUMMARY
Watts Bar Nuclear Plant's Unit 2 Power Ascension Test Program began with the receipt of the operating license. The program encompasses; those preoperational type tests that were deferred to the PATP, the prerequisites required to load the initial core, the initia! core loading itself, post core loading tests, initial criticality, low power tests, and at-power tests.
Completion of these tests verified that the unit was properly designed, constructed, and ready to operate in a manner that will not endanger the health and safety of the public, meets contractual and licensing requirements, and provides assurance of plant reliability for operation. The PATP used Regulatory Guide 1.68, Revision 2 and the WBN UFSAR for development of the test requirements.
lssues identified during the testing were resolved except for the following open items that will be resolved by the Corrective Action Program.
OPEN ITEMS:
(1) CR 1208694 initiated WO 118122821 to design and install bracing on multiple Main Steam Traps as a result of visual inspection during 2-PAT-1.4, Pipe Vibration Monitoring.
(2) UFSAR Table 14.2 2, Sheet 5 Test Method, refers to an evaluation of thermal expansion at final ambient conditions. This final ambient condition evaluation will be performed later and is tracked by Commitment 118008175.
(3) CR 1208178 was initiated for 2-PT-1-81 being unavailable during testing 2-PAT-1.6, Startup Adjustments of Reactor Control System, and will be repaired by WO 118121693.
(4') CR 1171424 was written during the performance of 2-PAT-1.5, Loose Parts Monitoring System, for three channels taken out of service due to issues.
These channels will be repaired under the following work orders.

4.0 INITIAL FUEL LOAD 4.1 Overview and Summary of lnitial Core Loading The initial core loading at WBN Unit 2 was accomplished in approximately 76 hours8.796296e-4 days <br />0.0211 hours <br />1.256614e-4 weeks <br />2.8918e-5 months <br /> from December 4,2015, to December 8,2015, as directed by 2-PAT-2.0, Initial Core Loading Sequence.
Core loading was performed "wet" with the refueling cavity and the reactor vessel filled with refueling concentration borated water at normal refueling levels. The core loading sequence was performed in accordance with an approved Fuel Assembly Transfer Form (FATF). Actual movement of fuet was performed in accordance with 2-FHl-7, Fuel Handling and Movement, as directed by 2-PET-105, lnitial Core Loading.
The neutron monitoring station for lnverse Count Rate Ratio determinations were established in the main control room to monitor source range detectors N-31 and N-32. ICRR plots were maintained for these detectors during all core loading sequence steps and during delays in core loading to ensure that an adequate subcritica! margin was maintained at all times.
As a visual aid in tracking fuel movement evolutions and to ensure the core load configuration was in accordance with the approved loading pattern prescribed on the FATF, a core status display was maintained in the Main Control Room.
RCS boron concentration was monitored during core loading to ensure that the boron concentration remained within prescribed limits.
Some fuel assemblies were required by plan to be moved more than once, specifically those bearing primary neutron sources. As such, the core loading sequence required two in-core fuel assembly movements to move the source bearing fuel assemblies from the reactor baffle wall to their final locations within the core. This was done to ensure that neutron counts could be monitored by the Source Range instrumentation at all times during core loading. After the core was loaded, a video recording was made and verification of proper fuel assembly position and orientation was conducted. Fue! Related Components (FRCs) were confirmed to be inserted into the proper fuel assembly with the proper orientation in the Spent Fuel Pool prior to core load. The final core load configuration was consistent with the Westinghouse Core Loading Plan for Unit 2 Cycle 1.

4.3 Reactor System Sampling for Gore Load (2-PAT-2.11 This test was performed as part of test sequence 2-PAT-2.0, lnitial Core Loading.
Testing was started on 11119115 and field work completed on 1214115.
1.0 Test Obiectives The objectives of this test were to:
1.1 Verify the boron concentrations in the Reactor Coolant System (RCS), Residual Heat Removal (RHR) system and other directly connected portions of auxiliary systems are uniformly borated to prevent inadvertent dilution during core loading.
1.2 Verify un-borated water sources are configured to prevent inadvertent dilution during core loading.
1.3 Satisfy the requirements of UFSAR Table 14.2-2, Sheet 4, Reactor System Sampling For Core Loading Test Summary.
2.0 Test Methods The preliminary actions of 2-PAT-2.1 researched logs and procedurally driven Unit 2 activities that were completed and that were associated with the preparations of the unit 2 water systems for entering Mode 6. The research started with ensuring the RWST was borated to (3100 to 3300) ppm. Actual recorded samples of the RWST were 3326 ppm on 0910712015 and 3224 ppm on 1'112112015. This confirms a correctly borated RWST. This RWST water was subsequently used to fill the RCS and partially fill the Refueling Cana! and Cavity. Later boron sample results showed Refueling Canal at 3290 ppm and Refueling Cavity at3281 ppm.
Following the proper boration of the RWST and water transfer to the RCS, unit activities were verified that circulated water through:
Both RHR A-A and B-B pump miniflows Both RHR pumps RHR to CVCS Letdown Both Charging pumps Both Containment Spray pumps (re-circulated borated RWST)
Refueling Water Purification Pump B Refueling Water Purification Pump A was found to be tagged with a Caution Order 0-CO-2015-0048 stating that the pump has high vibration.
WO 116318322 was previously written to address this issue. The volume of potentially diluted water was conservatively calculated to be 13 gals.
This small volume did not pose any risk to challenging any criteria listed in this PAT.
28
4.3 Reactor System Sampling for Core Load (2-PAT-2.1) (continued)
The Boron lnjection Tank (BlT) was verified to have been borated and mixed via the performance of 2-5l-63-905, Boron lnjection Check Valve Flow During Refueling Outages.
It was verified that both trains of Safety lnjection were circulated during the performance of 2-Sl-63-906, Safety !njection Check Valve Full Flow Testing During Refueling Outages, on 1112512015.
All4 Cold Leg Accumulators were verified by sample to be corectly borated with the lowest reading 3175 ppm and the highest reading 3206 ppm.
The water in the Holdup Tank B (HUT B) was recirculated and sampled for boron concentration on 11104115 and found to be 3204 ppm boron; this water was used to fill the Fuel Transfer Canal. The Spent Fuel Pool (SFp) was sampled for boron concentration on 11123115 and found to be 3261 ppm boron. Boric Acid Tanks B and C were sampled for boron concentration on 11121115 and found to be 6919 and 6808 ppm boron respectively.
Problems encountered while running 2-Sl-63-905 and 2-5!-63-906 resulted in a partial drain down moving water back to the RWST. This same water was again used to fill the Refueling Cavity and Chemistry re-performed 2-Sl-78-1, Reactor Coolant System and Refueling Canal Refueling Operations Boron Determination, to document compliance with the refueling boron concentration requirements.
Watts Bar Unit 2 systems connected to the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) were adequately borated and mixed to prevent a dilution event in support of the initial core loading operations.
2-PAT-2.1, Reactor System Sampling For Core Load, supported this conclusion from research of the chemistry and operation logs.
configuration contro! measures were in place to ensure that the RCS and connected systems remain adequately borated for support of the initial core loading operations. The Unit 2 Refueling Water Storage Tank (RWST) was at approximately 16.9% and based on calculations of recent makeup to the RWST it was determined that the tank was adequately borated. Technical Specifications required Operations to validate compliance with the RWST boron concentration and level prior to Mode 6.
Technical Specifications required Watts Bar Unit 2 to maintain Mode 6 surveillance instructions in frequency. Therefore, no additional sampling or mixing was required for 2-PAT-2.1.
29

4.4 Response Check of Core Load lnstrumentation After 8 Hour Delay in Fuel Movement (2-P AT -2.21 This test was performed as part of test sequence 2-PAT-2.0, lnitial Core Loading Sequence. Testing was started and completed on 1215115.
1.0 Test Obiectives The objective of this test was to:
1.1 Verify response of the Source Range Channels prior to resumption of fuel loading following a delay of eight (8) hours or more.
2.0 Test Methods Three methods of testing were available for use:
2.1 Statistical Evaluation Method using the Scaler Timer 2.2 Statistical Evaluation Method using the Source Range Count Rate indications.
2.3 Response Check of Core Load lnstrumentation Using Primary Source Bearing Fuel Assembly Movement.
The Statistical Evaluation Method using the Scaler Timer provided the verification of the Acceptance Criteria for resumption of fuel movement.
3.0 Test Results AllAcceptance/Review Criteria were met or resolved as delineated below.
Acceotance Criteria 3.1 The Source Range instrumentation for both channel N-31 and N-32 were evaluated and determined to be acceptable for continuation of fuel loading by meeting at least one Review Criteria.
Review Criteria 3.2, below 31
4.4 Response Check of Gore Load Instrumentation After 8 Hour Delay in Fuel Movement (2-P AT -2.2) (continued)
Review Criteria 3.2 Statistical Evaluation Method using the Scaler Timer:
Statistical Reliability Factor (SRF) for Source Range Channels shall be > 0.5 and 3 1.4.
Results indicated the SRF for Source Range Channel N-31 was 1.2395 and SRF for Source Range Channel N-32 was 0.8609.
3.3 Statistical Evaluation Method using the Source Range Count Rate indications:
- 1. The Student F Distribution Test shall be satisfied by having Fexp s 3.179.
- 2. The Student T Distribution Test shall be satisfied by having Texp s 2.101.
This method was originally chosen, however, problems were encountered. See Problems below.
3.4 Neutron instrumentation (Source Range Channels N-31 and N-32) are operational and indicates a positive (negative) change in count rate as the neutron level detected from a source is increased (decreased).
This method was not used.
4.0 Problems t1l No CR initiated:
Section 6.2, Statistical Evaluation Using Source Range Count Rate lndications, method was attempted four (4) times with unsuccessful results. Based on only three assemblies loaded at the time of performance, low counts appeared to cause data scatter which was observed in monitored count rates. This failure of Section 6.2 method resulted in the transition to Section 6.1, Statistical Evaluation Method using the Scaler-Timer. Section 6.1 method was acceptable. No CR was initiated since this was a potential scenario and the test provided alternative methods.
32
4.5 Pre-Power Escalation NIS Calibration Data (2-PET-1021 This test was performed as part of the test sequence 2-PAT-2.0, lnitial Core Loading Sequence. The performance of 2-PET-102 was conducted via WO 116884907. The WO started 0812512015 and was complete on 04112116with calibration of all Power Range and lntermediate Range detectors.
1.0 Test Obiectives The objectives of this test were to:
1.1 Provide Nuclear lnstrumentation System (NlS) Power Range (PR) and lntermediate Range (lR) excore detector calibration data.
1.2 lnitiate an adjustment of the NIS before startup for a new fuel cycle.
Note: The calculation methodology in 2-PET-102 applied to the changes expected to occur due to a refueling outage. This procedure accommodated the calibrations to be performed for Cycle 1.
2.0 Test Methods The normal method for determining calibration data after fuel reload and prior to startup is to ratio the sum of selected weighted assembly predicted powers from the Beginning of Life (BOL) of the previous fuel cycle (Unit 1 Cycle 1 was used as the reference condition) to the BOL of the upcoming cycle. This ensures a ratio based upon similar BOL core conditions including the neutron energy spectrum and a nearly cosine axial flux shape. This provides the most accurate excore Axial Offset indications for the power range channels. This same methodology results in the most accurate power indications for the intermediate range channels.
This same methodology was used to predict the lntermediate Range and Power Range calibration setpoints for the Unit 2 Cyclel startup, except that Unit 1 Cycle 1 is used as the reference condition. ln this case, average composite values for the channels were used.
3.0 Test Results All Acceptance/Review Criteria were met or resolved as delineated below.

4.6 lnitia! Core Loading (2-PET-1 05)
This test was performed as part of test sequence 2-PAT-2.0, lnitial Core Loading Sequence. 2-PET-105 testing via WO 117370408 started on 1112312015 with the verification of Unit 2fuel assemblies and component inserts in the Spent Fuel Pool and completed on 1210812015 with the completion of fuel load and core load verification.
1.0 Test Obiectives The objectives of this test were to:
1.1 ldentify the activities and requirements for fuel loading which ensure fuel loading is conducted in a cautious and controlled manner:
1.1.1 Specify the sequence for loading fuel assemblies into the reactor vessel such that the final core configuration is consistent with that specified in the NuPOP for current fuel cycle. See Figure 4.6-1, U2C1 Core Load Sequence.
1.1.2 Specify the fuel assembly identification number and type of insert for each core location.
1.1.3 Establish the requirements for periodic and continuous neutron monitoring during each step of the core loading process.
1.1.4 Prescribe the steps necessary for obtaining and evaluating neutron monitoring data during core loading.
1.1.5 ldentify the neutron monitoring channels to be used during each step of the core loading sequence to ensure subcritical conditions are maintained.
1.2 Satisfied the requirements of UFSAR Table 14.2-2, Sheet 3, lnitial Fuel Loading Test Summary.
2.0 Test Methods Only data from "responding" detectors identified by the data package was used in evaluating the safety of continued core loading. Prior to completing the loading of the initial nucleus of eight fuel assemblies, significant changes in the ICRR data were expected to occur due to geometry effects arising from changes in detector-to-fuel assembly coupling. Therefore, the ICRR values were re-normalized following movement of source bearing fuel assemblies from the baffle wall to their final location(s) in the core.
35
4.6 lnitial Core Loading (2-PET-1 05) (continued)
Changes in neutron flux level during and following fuel assembly insertion was monitored for indications of abnormal and/or unstable reactivity behavior.
All fuel movement was performed in accordance with 2-FHl-7, Fuel Handling and Movement.
The core status display in the main control room was updated, as required, to reflect the actual physical location of all fuel assemblies and fuel related components at alltimes during the core loading evolution.
3.0 Test Results All Acceptance/Review Criteria were met or resolved as delineated below.
Note: Unit 2 Core Load ICRR plot is provided in Figure 4.6-2.
Acceotance Criteria 3.1 The core was successfully loaded in accordance with the Unit 2 Cycle 1 Westinghouse Core Load Plan.
Verification of successful core loading was provided via 2-Tl-28, Physical Verification of Core Load Prior to Vessel Closure, (WO 117370592.) See Figure 4.6-1.
3.2 At completion of each mini-core, the final count rate from any detector shall not unexpectedly double from the initial count rate before the assembly was inserted.
Neutron count rates observed during fuel movement did not unexpectedly double at any time.
3.3 At completion of each mini-core the ICRR response from any detector shall not be less than 0.5 as each fuel assembly is inserted.
Neutron count rates observed during fuel movement did not unexpectedly double at any time and ICRR remained above 0.5, see Figure 4.6-2.
3.4 Core loading operations are required to be immediately stopped and the Containment Building evacuated if any of the following conditions occur during core Ioading. Movements of an active source bearing assembly, or detectorto-fuel assembly neutronic coupling are anticipated type changes.
36
4.6 Initial Core Loading (2-PET-1 05) (continued) 3.4.1 An unanticipated simultaneous increase in the neutron count rate by a factor of > 2 on all "responding" neutron monitoring channels.
3.4.2 An unanticipated simultaneous increase in the neutron count rate on any individual "responding neutron monitoring channel by a factor of > 5.
Neutron count rates were acceptable and did not meet either criteria to warrant suspension of core loading operations or evacuation of the Containment Building.
Review Criteria Al! required Review criteria for this test were met as delineated below:
3.5 Assessment of the ICRR response should be based on the predicted ICRR response.
ICRR plots maintained during core loading activities contained both actual plant lcRR data as well as predicted ICRR data from the fuer vendor, see Figure 4.6-2.
3.6 Placement of initialfuel assemblies up to placement of primary source assemblies in final core location should be detected by the ICRR response.
ICRR monitoring was maintained at all times during core loading, including loading of the first "mini-cores" and final movement of primary source bearing fuel assemblies.
3.7 ICRR response should not be less than 0.8 for any fuel assembty after the primary source assemblies have been placed in their final locations.
ICRR data during core loading was determined to be less than 0.8 following final placement of the two source bearing assemblies. CR 1112886 was initiated to document violation of this Review Criterion. Violation of this criterion does not represent a failure of this test, as it only requires further evaluation by the fuel vendor.
The fuel vendor was notified and agreed that the data was acceptable.
31
4.6 Initial Core Loading (2-PET-1 05) (continued) 4.0 Problems t1] CR 1112049 was written to document a labeling issue. Source Range labeling difference was noted between 2-PET-105 and the Unit 2 Main Control Room. Urgent Change 1 was processed for 2-PET-105 to correct the labeling issue.
l2l CR 1 112886 was initiated to document violation of the 0.8 ICRR limit during core loading, as described in Section 3.7.
t3l CR 11 12204 was initiated to document foreign material, later determined to be glue, on the bottom nozzles on multiple fuel assemblies during initial core load. All assemblies noted to have debris were cleaned prior to being loaded in the reactor.
Efforts to remove the debris caused schedule delays.

Flow was 32.2 gpm.
Review Criteria None 4.0 Problems t1l CR 1168487 was written on 2-PAT-3.0, Attachment 1, Step 27.
Although not Acceptance Criteria, alternate charging header flow was anticipated to be approximately 89-103 gpm. Actual flow was 82.7 gpm. This information was forwarded to engineering for evaluation, however, it had no affect on the acceptance of this test.
Engineering evaluation calculated the minimum requirement at the regenerative heat exchanger temperature to be 74 gpm. The 82.7 gpm exceeds this amount. At the current conditions the test was acceptable and met the design specified criteria.
Additional problems encountered are addressed in the following discussions of each test sequenced by 2-PAT-3.0.

5.2 Gontrol Rod Drive Mechanism Timing and CERPI Initia! Calibration (2-PAr-3.1)
Performance of this test was directed by 2-PAT-3.0, Post Core Loading Pre-criticalTest Sequence, during the period from 1121116to 1124116. The test was performed in Mode 5 at a RCS temperature of approximately 175'F.
1.0 Test Obiectives The objectives of this test were to:
1.1 Verify the functionality of each CRDM for shutdown and control rods in Mode 5 by:
1.1.1 Verify each rod control system slave cycler provides its associated power cabinet with the appropriate command signal to obtain proper sequence timing of current supplied to the CRDM coils.
1.1.2 Verify CRDM coil current amplitudes are within acceptable ranges.
1.1.3 Verify the functionality of each shutdown and control rod drive mechanism.
1.1.4 Verify manual mode stepping rate for shutdown and control rods are within acceptable ranges.
1.2 Verify the control bank overlap function in manual with minimal overlap.
1.3 Perform the initial calibration of the RPI in accordance with vendor proced u re WNA-TP-02576-WBT, C E RP I Calibration Proced ure.
1.4 Partially satisfu the requirements of UFSAR Table 14.2-2, Sheet 7, Control Rod Drive Mechanism Timing Test Summary, and fully satisfo it for Mode 5.
2.0 Test Methods The CRDM functionality was verified by stepping ouUin each rod bank by approximately 10 steps in individual bank select mode. CRDM current timing and amplitude measurements were taken during rod motion.
Twelve of the CRDM amplitudes were outside the upper Acceptance Criteria of the lift coil reduced current, however, the amplitudes were evaluated as acceptable by Westinghouse.
49
5.2 Gontrol Rod Drive Mechanism Timing and CERPI lnitial Galibration (2-PAT-3.1 ) (continued)
The bank overlap circuitry was verified at minimal settings. Minimal settings were set by adjusting the bank overlap thumbwheel switches such that control bank tip-to-tip distance was 15 steps and the all-rods-out position was 25 steps withdrawn for each control bank. The bank overlap circuitry functioned as designed and no issues were encountered. Note that the bank overlap circuitry was also exercised during the performance of the initial RPI calibration with the all-rods-out position set to 230 steps withdrawn. The bank overlap circuitry functioned as designed with no issues.
The initial RPI calibration was performed. First the bank zero adjustments were performed with all rods fully inserted. Next all shutdown and control rods were withdrawn to the full out position of 230 steps withdrawn. The shutdown banks were withdrawn first in individua! bank select and the control rods were withdrawn in bank overlap. The bank position span calibration and temperature null adjustments were performed with the rods fully withdrawn. Next all control and shutdown rods were inserted to specific demanded positions and data for each rod was obtained. Lastly, linearization adjustments were calculated based on the recorded data.
The initia! RPI calibration was completed when the new linearization adjustments were uploaded to train A and B of the RPI system. Note that prior to the linearization adjustment and during the insertion of Control Bank B, the K14 and P6 rods had a 13 step rod-to-rod deviation while inserted between CBB demanded positions of 170 steps withdrawn to 126 steps withdrawn. The RPI system was not yet calibrated, therefore, the initial calibration corrected the issue. Also note that 2-PAT-3.8 was performed following the initial RPI calibration and all rods were pulled to approximately 50 steps withdrawn. All rods were within t2 steps of the demanded position.
3.0 Test Results AllAcceptance/Review Criteria were met or resolved as delineated below.
Acceotance Criteria 3.1 Contro! Rod Drive Mechanism Timing 3.1.1 Current Order Timing The times at which the lift, movable, and stationary current orders change, after the start of rod motion, are within 10 msec. of the expected times during rod withdrawal and insertion operations.
50
5.2 Control Rod Drive Mechanism Timing and CERPI lnitial Calibration (2-PAT-3.1 ) (continued)
Each CRDM current order timing was reviewed and all current order timings were within 10 msec. of the expected times.
3.1.2 Coil Current Amplitudes Stationary, movable, and lift currents are regulated by circuitry internal to each power cabinet. The reduced and full current nominal values are not critical, cannot be adjusted, but could be an indication of a regulation failure.
Measured values outside the nominal ranges should be evaluated and documented by the system engineer.
Lift Coil - Full Nominal 4A amperes (35 to 47 .2 amperes)
(equivalent to 438 to 590 mVdc measured across a 0.0125 ohm resistor)
Lift Coil - Reduced Nominal 16 amperes (13 to 19.7 amperes)
(equivalent to 163 to 246 mVdc measured across a 0.0125 ohm resistor)
Movable Gripper Coil - Nominal 8 amperes Full (7 to 9.2 amperes)
(equivalent to 438 to 575 mVdc measured across a 0.0625 ohm resistor)
Stationary Gripper Coil Nominal 8 amperes Full (7 to 9.2 amperes)
(equivalent to 438 to 575 mVdc measured across a 0.0625 ohm resistor)
Stationary Gripper Coil - Nominal 4.4 amperes Reduced (3.8 to 4.8 amperes)
(equivalent to 238 to 300 mVdc measured across a 0.0625 ohm resistor) 51
5.2 Control Rod Drive Mechanism Timing and CERPI Initial Galibration (2-PAT-3. 1 ) (continued)
Each current amplitude recorded in the test package were reviewed. All current amplitudes were within the Acceptance Criteria with the exception of twelve CRDMs for the lift coil reduced current. The twelve lift coi! reduced current amplitudes were evaluated and determined to be acceptable for the designed operation of the rod control system.
CR 1128950 was closed.
3.1.3 Rod Withdrawal Speed Shutdown bank withdrawal speed nominal value is 64 (62 to
- 66) steps per minute.
Control bank withdrawal speed nominal value is 48 (46 to 50) steps per minute.
The Shutdown and Control banks withdrawal speeds met their Acceptance Criteria and were recorded as 63.9 steps/min and 48.0 steps/min respectively.
3.1.4 Rod Drive Mechanism Operability Shutdown rod drive mechanisms operate with no indications of problems during the withdrawal and insertion stepping.
Control rod drive mechanisms operate with no indications of problems during the withdrawal and insertion stepping.
Each CRDM current trace was reviewed. Alltraces operated normally and no abnormalities, such as movable/stationary gripper dragging or rod misstepping, were identified.
3.2 Control Bank Overlap Demonstration 3.2.1 The control rod bank overlap circuitry functions properly during the sequential withdrawal and insertion of Control Banks in MANUAL mode.
The control bank overlap circuitry functioned as designed.
52
5.2 Contro! Rod Drive Mechanism Timing and GERPI lnitial Calibration (2-PAT-3. 1 ) (continued )
3.2.2 The MCR rod speed demand display functions properly and indicates the rod stepping rate was within the range of 46 to 50 steps/minute for Control Banks in Manual mode.
The MCR rod speed demand display functioned as designed at 48.0 steps/min.
3.2.3 The MCR group step counters function properly to indicate group position and direction of rod motion during rod withdrawal and insertion operations.
The MCR group step counters functioned as designed.
3.2.4 The MCR RPI functions properly to indicate individua! rod direction of motion during rod withdrawal and insertion operations.
The MCR RPls indicated the proper direction of motion during rod withdrawal and insertion operations.
3.2.5 The MCR rod direction indicator lights function properly to indicate the rod movement status and direction of rod motion during rod withdrawal and insertion operations.
The MCR rod direction indicator lights functioned as designed.
Review Criteria None 4.0 Problems t1] During the performance of the CRDM timing and amplitude measurements, the 1AC power cabinet- stationary group A coil amplitudes were lower than the expected value. WO 111522924 was performed to inspect and reform backplane connector and card edge pins for the 1AC power cabinet - stationary group A firing, regulation, and phase control cards. The issue was corrected and testing continued.

5.2 Control Rod Drive Mechanism Timing and CERPI lnitial Calibration (2-PAT-3. I ) (conti nued )
l2l Step 6.3.3[7.1], WNA-TP-02576-WBT, Revision 2, Step 2.4.2.5,the all-rods-out position was 230 steps withdrawn, however, the compensated position in the software was hardcoded to 231 steps withdrawn. The performance of Step 2.4.2.5 was not impacted because it listed 230 steps t1 step. CR 1128373 was written and concluded no changes to 2-PAT-3.1 were required.
t3l CR 1128918: Step 6.3.4[62], WNA-TP-02576-WBT, Revision 2, Appendix A.1 and A.2 forms were used for the linearization adjustments. The "X Table C1" column values were not Watts Bar U2 specific values. The Watts Bar U2 plant specific "X Table C1" values were used for the linearization adjustments. CR 1128918 was written. Resolution was for Westinghouse to revise WNA-TP-02576-WBT.
l4I CR 1128950 Two rod amplitude measurements (F14 and D08) failed the procedure Acceptance Criteria and do not meet the Westinghouse expanded acceptance criteria in WBT-D-il20.
Westinghouse has provided a letter (WBT-D-5604(3.8))
documenting their evaluation and the acceptability for the 2 rod locations that exceeded the Acceptance Criteria of 20 amps.
Note that additional rod measurements were outside of the Reduced Lift Current procedure Acceptance Criteria of 19.7 amps, however, WBT-D-5420 has been issued by Westinghouse that states reduce lift currents up to 20.0 amps are acceptable.
2-PAT-3.1, Rev. 2, allows for evaluation of the currents outside of the Acceptance Criteria for successful completion of 2-PAT-3.1.
Current orders outside of the Acceptance Criteria were evaluated and deemed acceptable per Westinghouse. Also additional measurements were obtained in Mode 3.
t5I During the performance of 2-TRl-85-1, Reactivity Control Systems Movable ControlAssemblies (Modes 3, 4 and 5), rods common to the 2BD power cabinet would not withdraw. Troubleshooting determined an issue with the 2BD movable gripper current amplitudes. The firing and regulation cards for the 2BD movable grippers were replaced with spares and the issue was corrected.
No problems with this power cabinet occurred during 2-PAT-3.1 testing.
54
5.2 Control Rod Drive Mechanism Timing and CERPI Initial Calibration (2-PAT-3.1 ) (continued)
Step 6.1l12lof Appendix E, rods common to the 1AC power cabinet - stationary group A did not have the expected reduced stationary gripper currents when the CRDM-DAQ was first connected. Under CR 1126661 and WO 117522924, the stationary group A firing, regulation, and phase cards were removed and both backplane connector and card edge pins were reformed. The issue was corrected and testing was completed. No other problems with this power cabinet occurred during 2-PAT-3.1 testing.
t6I During the performance of 2-TRl-85-1 with the 2-RBSS in the SBC and SBD positions, the CERPI monitor indicated 72 steps/min. The actual speed of the SBC and SBD groups is approximately 64 steps/min and is set at the SCD power cabinet. The indication did not invalidate the performance of this test. CR 1126783 was written and closed to WO 115966328.
17I Step 6.3.4[3], during SBD insertion, the SBC demand position on both the ICS and RPI monitors followed the SBD demand position.
The problem was due to communication issues between the rod control system and the ICS. Testing continued because this issue did not invalidate the performance of this test. CR 1128318 was written, and Post lssuance Change (PlC) 66181 was issued and implemented by WO 117546244.
t8l Step 4.3[10]A, the 28 MG Set failed to sync in parallel with the 2A MG Set. The issue did not invalidate the performance of 2-PAT-3.1 because only one MG set was required for the performance of this test. CR 1126798 was written, and closed to WO 117531764.
55
5.3 Pressurizer Spray Capability and Continuous Spray Flow Setting (2-PAr-3.2)
Performance of this test was directed by 2-PAT-3.0, Post Core Loading Pre-critical Test Sequence, during the period from 4115116to 514116.
1.0 Test Obiectives The objectives of this test were to:
1.1 Verify the pressure response to the opening of both normal Pressurizer Spray Valves was within the allowable range specified by NSSS performance curyes.
1.2 Verify the Pressurizer Bypass Spray Valves were throttled to an optimum position such that during steady state operation:
1.2.1 Spray line temperature was high enough to prevent the PZR SPRAY TEMP LO alarm from actuating.
1.2.2 The equilibrium temperature for each spray line was greater than or equal to 540F.
1.2.3 Pressurizer control bank heaters can maintain RCS pressure above 2220 psig without backup heater operation.
1.2.4 Surge line temperature was high enough to prevent the PZR SURGE LINE TEMP LO alarm from actuating.
1.3 Verify the PZR SPRAY TEMP LO alarm would actuate on decreasing spray line temperature of approximately 530F.
1.4 Satisfy the requirements of UFSAR Table 14.2-2, Sheet 13, Pressurizer Spray Capability And Continuous Spray Flow Setting Test Summary.
55
5.3 Pressurizer Spray Capability and Continuous Spray FIow Setring (2-P AT -3.2) (conti nued )
2.0 Test Methods This test established the optimal throttle positions for the Pressurizer Spray Manual Bypass Valves, and also ensured the effectiveness of the normal pressurizer spray by initiating full spray to reduce RCS pressure by approximately 250 psi and compared the time to reduce pressure with Westinghouse performance curyes. During the performance of Section 6.2, the validated RCS pressure DCS computer point being used to monitor the depressurization of the RCS stopped updating at acceptable rate. Because of this the RCS narrow range indicators on the control board were used to determine when RCS pressure reached the trigger value of 2000 psig. Subsequent review also determined that this point deviated further from the actual RCS pressure after it was no longer being monitored. This did not affect the ability to meet the Acceptance Criteria of the test as ICS computer points were collected for use to analyze compliance with Acceptance Criteria for the spray capability test. CR 1168255 documents this issue.
The spray line temperature low alarm was unable to be verified as intended during the performance of this test due to slight leakage past either the spray line FCV's or the spray bypass manual valves. This occurred on both loops 1 and 2. This condition prevented meeting the Review Criteria associated with the spray line temperatures. The operation of the spray line temperature switches for each loop were subsequently verified to be operating correctly by utilizing trend data from the plant computer. CRs 1 160969 and 1 161382 document this issue.
3.0 Test Results AllAcceptance/Review Criteria were met or resolved as delineated below.
Acceptance Criteria 3.1 Pressurizer pressure response to opening both Normal Pressurizer Spray Valves is within the allowable range specified by NSSS performance curves.
The pressurizer spray response data was within the allotted response time as depicted on Figure 5.3-1.
51
5.3 Pressurizer Spray Capability and Continuous Spray Flow Setting (2-P AT -3.2) (conti nued )
Review Criteria 3.2 Pressurizer Manual Spray Bypass Valves 2-BW-68-552 and 2-BW-68-555 are throttled to an optimum position during steady-state operation.
All procedural criteria was met:
- 1. Spray line equilibrium temperature is high enough to prevent Annunciator 2-><A-55-5A-89E, PZR SPRAY TEMP LO from actuating.
2-XA-55-5A-89E, PZR SPRAY TEMP LO, did not actuate.
- 2. Equilibrium temperature for each spray line is greater than or equal to 550'F:
Loop 1 Spray Line Temperature (lCS PID T0484A)
Loop 2 Spray Line Temperature (lCS PID T0483A)
Spray Iine equilibrium temperatures were > 550oF.
- 3. Pressurazer control bank heaters can maintain RCS pressure above 2220 psig without any Backup Heater operation.
Backup Heater operation was not required to maintain pressure.
- 4. Surge line equilibrium temperature is high enough to prevent Annunciator Alarm 2-XA-55-5A/89D, PZR SURGE LINE TEMP LO, from actuating.
2-KA-55-5A/89D, PzR SURGE LINE TEMP Lo, did not actuate.
3.3 Annunciator Alarm 2-XA-55-5A/89E, PZR SPRAY TEMP LO actuates on decreasing spray line temperature of approximately 530'F (525"F to 535'F).
Loop 1 spray line temperature would not decrease sufficiently to allow the low spray line temperature alarm to actuate. See CR 1 160969.
Loop 2 spray line temperature would not decrease sufficiently to allow the low spray line temperature alarm to actuate. See CR 1161382.
58
5.3 Pressurizer Spray Capability and Continuous Spray Flow Setting (2-P AT -3.2) (conti nued )
4.0 Problems t1] CR 1160969 was written because the loop 1 spray line temperature would not decrease sufficiently to allow the Iow spray line temperature alarm to actuate. Westinghouse evaluation was obtained which concluded that 2-PAT-3.2 met operability and design requirements for the pressurizer spray system.
l2l CR 1161382 was written because the loop 2 spray line temperature would not decrease sufficiently to allow the low spray line temperature alarm to actuate. Westinghouse evaluation was obtained which concluded that 2-PAT-3.2 met operability and design requirements for the pressurizer spray system.
13] CR 1161789 was written due to the master pressure controller output being less than the desired range while setting the loop 2 spray line bypass valve. The controller output was 37 percent while the desired range was a minimum of 46 percent. Performance of Section 6.1.3 which performed the final setting of the spray bypass valves, allowed the output of the master controller to be placed in the desired range of the procedure.
t4] CR 1168255 was written to document the issues experienced with the ICS computer point for Validated Pressurizer Pressure (DCS0426) during the performance of Section 6.2.

5.4 Rod Gontrol and Rod Position lndication (CERPI) (2-PAT-3.4) This test was performed in Mode 3 at NOTP as directed by 2-PAT-3.0, Post Core Loading Precritical Test Sequence. lt performed the initial hot calibration of the Computer Enhanced Rod Position lndication (CERPI) system and functional testing of the Rod Control System. The performance of Section 6.0 of this test was commenced on 05/05/16 and was completed on 05113116. 1.0 Test Obiectives The objectives of this test were to: 1.1 Perform the lnitial Hot Calibration of the Computer Enhanced Rod Position lndications (CERPI) system. 1.2 Verify the Computer Enhanced Rod Position lndication system (CERPI) performs required indication function satisfactorily for each shutdown and control rod over their entire range of travel and to verifo the rod position indication system alarm functions operate properly. (UFSAR Table 14.2-2, Sheet 8, Rod Position lndication System Test Summary). 1.3 Demonstrate that the rod control system satisfactorily performs the required control and indication functions, as required by UFSAR Table 14.2-2, Sheet 10, Rod Control System Test Summary. 2.0 Test Methods The rod position indication system completed the initial hot calibration using vendor instructions and 2-SI-85-3, Calibration of Computer Enhanced Rod lndication Channels and Full Range Verification. The CERPI system operated over the full length of travel and can operate without actuating rod-to-rod and rodto-bank deviation alarms by making adjustments to the CERPI tunable parameters. This was consistent with vendor and Unit 1 operating experience. Therefore, the vendor CERPI Acceptance Criteria was revised and Urgent Change (UC) 2 was processed for this test procedure to veriff that each rod indicates rod motion consistent with the group demand over the full length of trave!. The Rod Control System and CERPI functionaltesting included controls and indications. The functional testing included rod-to-bank and rod-to-rod deviation alarms, the C-11 annunciator, lntegrated Computer System (lCS) generated alarms, rod bottom bistables, rod bottom bypass bistables, rod control urgent and non-urgent alarms, main control room displays, rod insertion limits, and control rod bank overlap circuitry. This test also documented 5 complete rod excursions (i.e., fullwithdrawal and insertions) of all shutdown and control rods per CR 234483. All 5 excursions were successfully completed. 6L

All applicable Acceptance Criteria were met. 3.2.17 The rod insertion limits LO-LO upper limit was set to 211 steps (Control Bank A) The rod insertion limits LO-LO upper limit was found to be set at2ll steps (Control Bank A). 65
5.4 Rod Gontro! and Rod Position lndication (GERPI) (2-PAT-3.4) (continued) 3.2.18 The rod insertion limits LO alarm actuated below 10 steps above the insertion limit for any control bank. The rod insertion limits LO alarm actuated at 10 steps above the insertion limit for any control bank. 3.2.19 The rod insertion limits LO-LO alarm actuated below 0 steps above the insertion limit for any control bank.

The RPI indictors for each rod indicated rod motion consistent with the group demand indication for the full range of rod travel. 3.2.22 All rods were fully withdrawn and inserted five times. The test exercised all rods to fully withdrawn and fully inserted five times. Review Criteria None 4.0 Problerns t1l CR 1168845 - Steps 6.4.3[20] and 6.4.4.1201, Acceptance Criteria for RPI indication agreeing within t12 steps was not satisfied for Shutdown Banks C and D for the full length of travel. This Acceptance Criteria was later changed by Urgent Change 2. See UC-2 description in this test report for further information. 55
5.4 Rod Control and Rod Position lndication (GERPI) (2-PAT-3.4) (continued) l2l CR 1168881 - Section 6.4.5, Rod position indications for rods in Control Banks A and B were at 12 steps from the demand position at some positions over the full length of travel. Although not a failure in the Acceptance Criteria of Step 6.4.5[20] of within 12 steps of the demand position, the rod-to-rod deviation alarms were actuated at certain positions over the length of travel. This CR anticipated not meeting Steps 6.10[2.15]and 6.10[2.16]. The acceptance of rod-to-rod deviations was later changed by Urgent Change 2. See UC-2 description in this test report for further information. 13I CR 1169602 - Steps 6.10[2.15] and 6.10[2.16] Acceptance Criteria of no rodto-rod and rodto-bank deviation alarms was not met for all 57 rods over the full length of travel. These steps were later changed by Urgent Change 2. See UC-2 description in this test report for further information. l4l CR 1 1692'17 - Step 6.4.6[1]C verified the C-1 1 Bank D Auto Withdrawal Block annunciator cleared during Control Bank D insertion between 219 and 214 steps on the step counters. The recorded step counter position for Control Bank D was 212 steps when the C-11 annunciator cleared. Step 6.4.6[1]C is not Acceptance Criteria and the value at which the annunciator cleared is reasonable. Based on the CR evaluation, the vendor manual description of operation demonstrates (as well as the test engineer evaluation) there was not a problem encountered during 2-PAT-3.4 performance with Control Rod Bank D permissive C-11. No Further Action Required. t5I CR 1169282 - Step 6.7.2l7lcould not be performed as written because the performance of Step 6.7.2[6] cleared the urgent alarm upon seating the 4104 card. The card interlock is the only urgent alarm in the rod control system that clears upon restoring the system configuration. Step 6.7.2171was to verify rod motion would not occur with a standing urgent alarm. These steps were not Acceptance Criteria and had no impact on successful completion of this test. Additionally, CR 1171247 was created to address and provide justification associated with not performing the steps cited in CR 1169282. t6I CR 1171254 - This CR was written to document certain steps and portions of sections which were repeated during testing performance based on engineering judgment. These additional performances were used as a means to perform additional calibration of CERPI as specified in the Westinghouse CERPI calibration procedure or as a means to restore from current testing 51
5.4 Rod Gontrol and Rod Position lndication (CERPI) (2-PAT-3.4) (continued) conditions and then later return. Section 6.1, Steps 6.1[1] through 6.1111.19lwere repeated and Section 6.6, Steps 6.6[1]through 6.6[9.5]were repeated one or more times. Section 6.6, Steps 6.6[48] through 6.6[54] were repeated. This CR was created for documentation purposes only and has no impact on the actual test results or verification of Acceptance Criteria. l7l CR 1168538 - During performance of Section 6.1, Shutdown Bank A was inserted to 118 steps demand position for CERPI hot calibration. M14 indication drifted excessively for a couple of hours until a stable rod position indication was reached. The PAT team and Westinghouse reviewed the M14 coil resistance values identified that the M14 drift was associated with a large transient in coil resistance (i.e., change in coil stack temperature) and a larger value for the T_GAIN parameter for M14. Drift is a phenomena that occurs for ARPI/CERP! indication systems due to the analog coil stacks and their associated temperature dynamics and does not represent an actual change in rod position. This does not represent a deficiency in the design. Adjustments to the CERPltunable parameters were made to minimize drift. Therefore, this CR did not impact the successful completion of this test procedure. l8l CR 1168899 - Step 6.4.5[8], the 2-)G-55-4B-87D, RODS AT BOTTOM, annunciator cleared as expected. However, the bell in the MCR did not alarm. CR was closed to previously identified work. tgl UC-1 was written to ensure that group step counters for Shutdown Bank A, group 1, step counters displayed 56 steps prior to withdraw of Rod D-02 in Step 6.6 [40]. This allowed the group step counter to be updated to match the current rod position for rod that was currently capability of motion. t10] UC-2 was processed to revise Acceptance Criteria 5.2K and 5.2U and related steps based on updated criteria provided by Westinghouse in WBT-D-5666, CERPI Acceptance Criteria, Revision 1, and a revision to UFSAR Table 14.2-2, Sheet 8. The update criteria stated "Each RPI indicates rod motion consistent with the group demand indication for the full range of rod travel." 68
5.5 Reactor Coolant Flow Goastdown (2-PAT-3.7) This test was performed as directed by 2-PAT-3.0, Post Core Loading Precritical Test Sequence, in Mode 3 at normaloperating temperature and pressure. The test was started and field work completed on 518116. 1.0 Test Obiectives The objectives of this test were to: 1.1 Measure the rate at which reactor coolant flow changes subsequent to a simultaneous trip of all four reactor coolant pumps. The measured Flow Coastdown Time Constant is determined from the flow versus time data and compared to the Design Flow Coastdown Time Constant. 1.2 Measure the delay time associated with the low flow reactor trip and compare it to that value assumed in the accident analysis. 1.3 Record the RCP Motor voltage decay during the transient for information only. 1.4 This test satisfied the requirements of UFSAR Table 14.2-2, Sheet 15, Reactor Coolant FIow Coastdown Test Summary. 2.0 Test Methods All four reactor coolant pumps were simultaneously tripped, causing the reactor trip breakers to open on Low RCS Flow. Measurements were made by recording reactor coolant loop elbow tap differentia! pressures (d/p), RCS low flow bistable state, reactor trip breaker position, reactor coolant pump breaker position and reactor coolant pump motor voltage decay data. Also recorded for information was the time of the undervoltage relay and associated time delay timer in the RCPs undervoltage circuit. 3.0 Test Results All Acceptance/Review Criteria were met or resolved as delineated below. Acceotance Criteria 3.1 The Acceptance Criterion for core flow coastdown following the simultaneous trip of the four reactor coolant pumps from full flow conditions, was that the measured flow coastdown time constant (TAUru) was greater than (>) design flow coastdown time constant (TAUD) of 11.72 seconds. Results indicated TAUu = 12.762 seconds 69
5.5 Reactor Coolant Flow Coastdown (2-PAT-3.7) (continued) 3.2 Acceptance criterion for the Total Low Flow Trip Delay Time is less than (<) 1.2 seconds. Results indicated Low Flow Trip Delay Time, Tr_r = 0.994 seconds 3.3 Acceptance criterion for simultaneous trip of four reactor coolant pumps was that allfour pumps trip within (<) 100 msec. of each other. Allfour pumps tripped within 20 msec. Review Criteria 3.4 Review Criterion for coastdown flow data quality is that data from at least 2 out of 3 flow transmitters in each RCS loop falls within Chauvenet's Criterion. All data points from all RCS flow transmitters fell within Chauvent's Criterion. 4.0 Problems t1] CR 1169224 - During performance of 2-PAT-3.7 post performance activities, Step 7.0[5], removing the test recorders from the Aux lnstrument Room, 8 out of 12 RCS low flow trip status lights lit in the control room. Post event investigation revealed bistable fuses associated with the affected flow loops (2-LPF-68-6A, 2-LPF-08-6B, 2-L p F-69-29 A, 2-LpF-68-29 B, 2-Lp F-68-29D, 2-LPF-6848B, 2-LPF-68-71A, 2-LPF-68-71 B) blew during recorder disconnection because of human performance issues. Since this was a post performance activity and all data was recorded during Section 6.0, there was no impact to the test results of 2-PAT-3.7. 10
5.6 Rod Drop Time Measurement and stationary Gripper Release Timing (2-PAr-3.8) Portions of this test were performed in Mode 5 and again in Mode 3 as directed by 2-PAT-3.0, Post Core Loading Precritical Test Sequence. ln Mode 3 this test was performed in conjunction with the norma! Surveillance lnstruction 2-Sl-85-10, Rod Drop Time Measurement Using CERPI Rod Drop Test Computer, to calculate the standard deviation of the rod drops and to direct required additional rod drops for CR corrective actions and potential two-sigma deviations. Prerequisites were started on 1122116 and the test was field work completed on 1124116 for the Mode 5 performance. The Mode 3 performance was started on 5111116 and completed on 5111116. 1.0 Test Obiectives The objectives of this test were to: 1.1 ln Mode 5, Section 6.2 of this Power Ascension Test (PAT) partially withdrew al! shutdown and control rods and demonstrated that all CRDMs unlatch and all rods fully insert into the core when the reactor trip breakers were opened. 1.2 ln Mode 5, measured the Stationary Gripper Release times for each control and shutdown rod. 1.3 ln Mode 3, at Hot Standby conditions with full Reactor Coolant System (RCS) flow, measured the rod drop time and stationary gripper release time for each control and shutdown rod. WBN Unit 2 Technical Specifications require rod drop time measurements, therefore, the normal Surveillance lnstruction 2-Sl-85-10, Rod Drop Time Measurement Using CERPI Rod Drop Test Computer was utilized. 1.4 Meet the Mode 3 testing as required by UFSAR Table 14.2-2, Sheet 9, Rod Drop Time Measurement And Stationary Gripper Release Timing Test Summary o Measure the stationary gripper release time for each control and shutdown rod. This measurement was performed in Mode 5 and then repeated in Mode 3. 1L
5.6 Rod Drop Time Measurement and Stationary Gripper Release Timing (2-PAT-3.8) (continued)
. Evaluate the data from rod drop time testing in the area of the dash pot entry looking for proper performance of the decelerating devices (i.e. dashpots). This evaluation was performed in Mode 3 with the data collected during the performance of 2-Sl-85-10, Rod Drop Time Measurement Using CERPI Rod Drop Test Computer. . Evaluate all 57 rod drop times in Mode 3 with the data collected during the performance of 2-SI-85-10, Rod Drop Time Measurement Using CERPI Rod Drop Test Computer.
1.5 Ensure that four rod drops were performed in Mode 3 as required by corrective actions from Condition Repoft234483 action 003 related to INPO SER 1-10. 2.0 Test Methods This PAT was written to supplement the norma! operating surveillance 2-Sl-85-10, Rod Drop Time Measurement Using CERPI Rod Drop Test Computer and evaluated the rod drop time data. All rod drop times were used to calculate the standard deviation of the rod drop times. Two-sigma limits (i.e. plus or minus two times the standard deviation) were used to evaluate drop times of the 57 rods. Those drop times that were outside of the two-sigma limits were re-measured 3 (or more) times and evaluated for consistency (i.e. within 50 milliseconds). Retesting the rods that fell outside of the two-sigma limits an additional 3 (or more) times provided reasonable assurance of their proper performance during subsequent plant operations. This PAT measured the Stationary Gripper Release Time for each control and shutdown rod. The Stationary Gripper Release Time is a combination of a Trip Signal Delay Time (i.e. Delay between Reactor Trip Breaker opening and the trip signal to the RDTC) and the delay between power interruption (i.e. trip signal to the RDTC) and the rod's initiation of its free fal!. The PAT evaluated the traces from the RDTC looking for a delay of each rod's initiation of free fall the RDTC's trip signal. The PAT also measured the "Trip Signal Delay Time" while in Mode 5. This PAT also evaluated the traces from the rod drops in the area of the decelerating devices (i.e. dash pots) entry looking for proper performance of the dash pots. 12
5.6 Rod Drop Time Measurement and Stationary Gripper Release Timing (2-PAT-3.8) (conti nued) 3.0 Test Results AllAcceptance/Review Criteria were met or resolved as delineated below. Acceotance Criteria 3.1 Each CRDM unlatches upon opening the Reactor Trip Breakers. Testing confirmed that each CRDM unlatched upon opening the Reactor Trip Breakers in Mode 5 and Mode 3. 3.2 The rod drop times for all shutdown and control rods, dropped from the fully withdrawn position, are within the limits specified in the Techn ical Specifi cations. This Acceptance Criteria was successfully met by performance of 2-Sl-85-10, Rod Drop Time Measurement Using Rod Drop Test Computer. 3.3 Rod drop time evaluations against the Two-Sigma statistical limits calculated resulted in either criteria below being applicable: o Rod drop time was within the bounds of the lower and upper Two-Sigma statistical limits. o Rods with rod drop times that fell outside of the bounds of the lower and upper Two-Sigma statistical limits have been dropped greater than or equal to 3 additional times. The results of the rod drop times were consistent (i.e. within a band of 50 milliseconds or less) and continue to meet Technical Specification criteria specified in 2-Sl-85-10, Rod Drop Time Measurement Using CERPI Rod Drop Test Computer. During the Mode 3 performance, Rods D-2 and M-14 failed to meet a 2 sigma statistical limit for the first rod drop. Three additiona! rod drops were successfully performed. (See CR 1169659) 3.4 The stationary gripper release time for all rods was <150 msec. This was the requirement in Unit 2 UFSAR Chapter 4. During the Mode 5 performance the stationary gripper release time was conservatively determined to be 45 msec. Mode 3 release time was 50 msec. 13
5.6 Rod Drop Time Measurement and stationary Gripper Release Timing (2-PAT-3.8) (conti nued) 3.5 The Trip Signal Delay Time was <100 msec.; as accounted for in 2-St-85-10. The Trip Signal Delay Time was determined to be 50 msec. Review Criteria None 4.0 Problems 11] CR 1128964: During the Mode 5 performance the RDTC plots for each rod were inverted from the expected response. This issue did not impact the performance of this test and resolution of the CR occurred prior to the Mode 3 performance of this test.
- 12) CR 1169659: Rods D-2 and M-14 did not meet a two-sigma statistical limit for the first rod drop in Mode 3. Three additional rod drops were performed and allAcceptance Criteria met.

5.7 Reactor Trip System (2-PAT-3.10) This test was performed in Mode 5 as directed by 2-PAT-3.0, Post Core Loading Precritical Test Sequence. Testing was started on 1113116 and field work completed on 1120116. 1.0 Test Obiectives The objectives of this test were to: 1.1 Demonstrate proper functioning of the Reactor Trip System. This objective was accomplished by demonstrating that: 1.1.1 The reactor trip breakers can be opened manually from the Main Control Room (MCR) 1.2.2 Interlocks permit momentary closure of both reactor trip bypass breakers and then cause a reactor trip. 1.3.3 The reactor trip bypass breakers maintain the rod drive mechanisms energized when the associated reactor trip breaker is opened for test. 1.4.4 With one reactor trip bypass breaker closed, placing the opposite SSPS train channel in test causes both reactor trip breakers and the bypass breaker to open. 1.2 Satisfy the requirements of UFSAR Table 14.2-2, Sheet 19, Reactor Trip System Test Summary. 2.0 Test Methods 2.1 Performance of this test (2-PAT-3.10) was completed with the unit in Mode 5 and RCS pressure greater than 100 psig to satisff the req u irements necessary for performance of 2-TRl 1, Reactivity Control Systems Movable Control Assemblies, as required by Technical Surveillance Requirement 3.1.7. During performance of 2-TRl-85-1 an bsue was encountered in which the rods controlled bythe 2BD power cabinet (SB Group 2, CB Group 2 and, CD Group 2) did not respond to outward rod demand. Further details on this bsue are documented in CR 1126661 found in the write-up for 2-PAT-3.1. 15
5.7 Reactor Trip System (2-PAT-3.10) (continued) 2.2 Section 6.2 verified both Main Control Room (MCR) Reactor Trip handswitches (2-RT-1 and 2-RT-2) generated a reactor trip and the associated indications appropriately. 2.3 Section 6.3 verified the electric interlocks prevented both bypass breakers from being closed simultaneously and resulted in a reactor trip due to a general warning in both trains of SSPS. Sections 6.4 and 6.5 verified that when a reactor trip bypass breaker was closed placing the opposite SSPS train in test resulted in a reactor trip due to the generation of simultaneous general warnings in both trains. 2.5 section 6.6 verified that the bypass breakers maintained the control rod drive mechanisms energized when the associated reactor trip breaker was opened due to injection of a simulated Reactor Protection System trip signal on the associated SSPS train. 3.0 Test Results All Acceptance/Review Criteria were met or resolved as delineated below. Acceotance Criteria 3.1 Reactor trip breakers (RTA and RTB) can be opened manually with hand switches 2-RT-1 and 2-RT-2. Reactor trip breakers (RTA and RTB) were opened manually with both hand switches 2-RT-1 and 2-RT-2. 3.2 Electrical interlocks trip both reactor trip bypass breakers (BYA and BYB) when both bypass breakers are closed due to simultaneous general warning reactor trip signals being sent to the Reactor Trip Breakers (RTA and RTB) Electrical interlocks uocessfi.rlly tripped both reactor tri p bypass breakers when both bypass breakers were closed. 16
5.7 Reactor Trip System (2-PAT-3.10) (continued) 3.3 With one reactor trip bypass breaker (BYA or ByB) closed, placing the opposite SSPS train in test causes both reactor trip breakers (RTA and RTB) and the bypass breaker (BYA or ByB) to open due to simultaneous general warning reactor trip signals being sent to the reactor trip breakers (RTA and RTB) Section 6.4 tested bypass breaker B in conjunction with SSPS Train A was completed successfully and all Acceptance Criteria were met as stated. During performance of Section 6.5 a previously known and expected indication issue related to placing SSPS Train B Multiplexer test switch in lNHlBlT, as originally documented in CR 1126043, was encountered. After verification that indications received were the same as those previously documented in CR 1126043 testing continued as the eroneous indications had no impact upon performance of 2-PAT-3.10 and Section 6.5 was completed satisfactorily with the exception of a procedure error which was identified in CR 1126802. 3.4 The reactor trip bypass breakers (BYA or BYB) maintain the rod drive mechanisms energized when the associated reactor trip breaker (RTA or RTB) is opened by injection of a simurated Reactor Protection System trip signal on the associated SSpS train Each reactor trip bypass breaker maintained the rod drive mechanisms energized when the associated reactor trip breaker was opened. Section 6.6 was completed satisfactorily with the exception of a procedure error which was identified in cR 1126802. Review Criteria None 11
5.7 Reactor Trip System (2-PAT-3.10) (continued) 4.0 Problems t1l CR 1126802 was generated because of procedure errors, which assumed breakers racked to the test position would still get the GEN WARNING alarm and MCR light indication for breaker position. lt was determined that the procedure errors were minor and did not affect the test, including Acceptance Criteria Steps 6.5[14]D, 6.6[13]D, and 6.6[27]C that verified breaker position lights for bypass breakers not connected. After validation of the procedure error and its impacts, testing within 2-PAT-3.10 continued and Section 6.3 was completed satisfactorily. Setup of Section 6.5 places the Reactor Trip Bypass Breaker B (BYB) in the test position; therefore, MCR indication lights for BYB are not illuminated. This section verifies that the reactor trips when Reactor Trip Bypass Breaker A (BYA) is closed and SSPS Train B is placed in Test; this was successfully performed with associated lights illuminated for BYA. Section 6.6 verifies the ReactorTrip Bypass Breakers function to prevent a Reactor Trip during testing of Reactor Trip Breakers.

5.9 Control Rod Drive Mechanism Timing (2-PET-106) This test was performed as part of test sequence 2-PAT-3.0, Post Core Loading Precritical Test Sequence. The test began via WO 117705850 on 04113/16 and was field work completed on 516116. 1.0 Test Obiectives The objectives of this test were to: 1.1 Verify the acceptability of the Control Rod Drive Mechanism, (CRDM), current order timing, current order amplitudes, and rod withdrawal speed. 1.2 Partially satisfy the requirements of UFSAR Table 14.2-2, SheetT, Control Rod Drive Mechanism Timing Test Summary. 2.0 Test Methods The test was required to be performed following fuel toading. Since the CRDM latch assembly must be submerged in water for proper operation, a minimum RCS pressure of 100 psig was required. The test was run at nominal hot plant conditions. Reactor Engineering verification of current boron concentration being adequate to perform this test by being equalto or greater than the refueling boron concentration was required. With the reactor trip breakers closed and the lift coils verified to be connected, a selected bank was withdrawn and then reinserted approximately 10 steps to obtain the CRDM readings. The test objectives were accomplished by monitoring the CRDM coil current profiles to verify that the stationary gripper, movable gripper, and lift coil current order changes occur at the proper time during the 780 msec. rod stepping cycle; that stationary, movable and lift coil currents are properly regulated to full current values within acceptable ranges during rod withdrawal and insertion operations; that shutdown bank rod withdrawal speed is a nominal 64 steps/min and control bank rod withdrawal speed is a nominal43 steps/min. 3.0 Test Results AII Acceptance/Review Criteria were met or resolved as delineated below.

6.2 Reactivity Computer (ADRC) (2-PET-1 03) This test was performed as part of test sequence 2-PAT-4.0, lnitial Criticality and Low Power Test Sequence. Field performance of 2-PET-103 was commenced on 05/15/16. The purpose of this procedure is to ensure that the Advanced Digital Reactivity Computer (ADRC) is capable of reactivity measurements in support of Low Power Physics Testing (LPPT) per 2-PET-201. This procedure was completed on 05123116 following completion of LPPT. 1.0 Test Obiectives The objectives of this test were to: 1.1 Perform installation of the ADRC 1.2 Perform the calibration and setup of the ADRC prior to reactivity measurements. 1.3 Provide instructions for connecting/restoring the RCS Temperature and Rods Move signals to/from the ADRC 2.0 Test Methods This test provided instructions for setup and installation of the ADRC for LPPT. This test connected a RCS T"rn signal from the Unit 2 Auxiliary lnstrument Room to the ADRC, connected the Power Range detectors Top and Bottom signals and the "Rods Move" signal to the ADRC, and provided instructions on initial checkout of the reactivity computer. Proper installation was verified by performing the initial checkout and initial exponential test. The initial checkout ensured that the ADRC was loaded with the correct constants and reactivity data consistent with WBN Unit 2 Cycle 1 core design. After input data was confirmed, the initial exponential test was conducted using a simulated signal for reactor flux. This calculated reactivity was verified to be within 1.0o/o of the theoretical value. This test ensured that the ADRC was correctly calculating reactivity with appropriate input data. Once physics testing was complete, steps were given to remove all installed cables and return the plant to its original state. 86
6.2 Reactivity Gomputer (ADRC) (2-PET-1 03) (continued) 3.0 Test Results AII Acceptance/Review Criteria were met or resolved as delineated below. Acceptance Criteria 3.1. The absolute value of the PREDICTED vs MEASURED enor, the percent difference between the ADRC "predicted" reactivity and the "measured" reactivity is < 1.0% during the ADRC lnternal Exponential Test. The difference between the "predicted" reactivity and "measured" reactivity was found to be -0.03%, within the 1.0% criteria specified by the procedure. Review Criteria None 4.0 Problems The following issues were encountered during Reactivity Computer setup per 2-PET-103: 11] While verifying the inputs to the ADRC were correct, it was noted that the value for the prompt neutron lifetime was inconsistent between the value stated in the eNuPOP compared to the value being used by the ADRC. The eNuPOP listed a value of 19.718 microseconds while the ADRC was found to have a value of 19.716 seconds. Following consultation with the fuelvendor, it was determined that both values were acceptable (per Westinghouse letter NF-TV-16-24) and showed the smalldifference due to being calculated by two separate versions of code. The value listed in the ADRC was calculated using a later version of the ANC code. A one-time-only change was generated for this procedure to allow for this difference. The procedure originally stated that the values had to be "identical." The one-time-only change allowed for the values to be "consistent." 81
6.3 lnitial Criticality and Low Power Physics Testing (2-PET-2011 The test was performed as part of test sequence 2-PAT-4.0, lnitial Criticality and Low Power Test Sequence. Field performance of 2-PET-201was commenced on 5122116 and initial criticality was achieved at 02:16 on 512312016. The test was completed on 05123116 with successful completion of initial criticality, rod worth measurements (using Dynamic Rod Worth Measurement (DRWM) method), boron endpoint measurements, and isothermaltemperature coefficient testing. 1.0 Test Obiectives The objectives of this test were to: 1.1 Dilute the reactor to criticality in a cautious and controlled manner 1.2 Perform Mode 2 Low Power Physics Testing in a cautious and controlled manner, including: 1.2.1 Measuring the integral worth of the control and shutdown rod banks. 1.2.2 Measuring the ARO critical boron concentration. 1.2.3 Measuring the ARO lTC. 1.3 This test and associated Sls satisfied the requirements of UFSAR Table 14.2-2: Sheet 22,lnitial Criticality Test Summary. Sheet 23, Determination Of Core Power Range For Physics Testing Test Summary. Sheet 24, Moderator Temperature Coefficient Test Summary. (2-S l-0-23, Moderator Tem perature Coefficient Determination at BOL) Sheet 25, Rod And Boron Worth Measurements Test Summary. Sheet 26, Core Reactivity Balance, Acceptance Criteria 1. (2-SI-0-1 2, Core Reactivity) Note: Sheet 26, Core Reactivity Balance, Acceptance Criteria 2 is documented in 2-Sl-0-12, Core Reactivity, at full power. B8
6.3 lnitial Criticality and Low Power Physics Testing (2-PET-201) (continued) 2.0 Test Methods lnitial reactor startup was conducted via dilution to critical while all shutdown and control banks were fully withdrawn. The dilution began at 65 gpm and the reactor was monitored by use of lcRR. see Figure 6.3-1, ICRR vs Primary Water (N31, N32) When the ICRR reached 0.3, the dilution was terminated. After criticality was achieved and power increased, contro! rods were inserted to zero the startup rate with reactor power near 1x10-3 % power. With the reactor stable, a "bite check" was then performed to determine if the inserted worth of control Bank D was between 40 to 7s pcm. An RCS boration was performed to establish an inserted worth of 62 pcm. A reactor exponential test was then conducted while finding the point of adding heat to set the physics testing range. With the Physics Testing Range met, the DRWM testing began by withdrawing CBD in Manualto the full out position. Once flux reached the appropriate levelon the reactivity computer CBD was inserted continuously in individual bank select until 0-5 steps withdrawn. When data collection was complete, CBD was restored to the fullout position. This process, of measuring rod bank worth, was repeated for each remaining control and shutdown bank, in individual bank select. The reactor was then brought back to a stable condition in Manual with Control Bank D slightly inserted. The boron endpoint was then calculated using the measured bank worth data by use of the ADRC. This information is used to determine the ARO HZP No XE critical boron concentration. The ITC was then measured by initiating a constant rate cooldown, at less than 30 deg F/hr. when data collection was complete, a constant rate heatup, also at less than 30 deg F/hr, was initiated. Both sets of data were analyzed to carcurate an average ITC and converted to a MTC, accounting for the Doppler reactivity coefficie nt. 3.0 Test Results AII Acceptance/Review Criteria were met or resolved as delineated below. B9
6.3 lnitial Criticality and Low Power Physics Testing (2-PET-201) (continued) Acceptance Criteria 3.1 Advanced Digital Reactivity Computer (ADRC) Checkout The indicated reactivity is within !4o/o or 1 1 pcm of the theoretical reactivity for each reactor exponential measurement. lndicated reactivity during the reactor exponential test for ADRC checkout was measured at 25.0 pcm with a predicted reactivity of 24.8 pcm. This resulted in a difference of 0.94o/o or 0.2 pcm difference. 3.2 Control and Shutdown Bank Worths (DRWM criteria) The sum of the measured bank worths is greater than or equal to (100%-RWU) times the sum of the predicted bank worths. The RWU, Rod Worth Uncertainty, is given as 10o/o for Unit 2 Cycle
- 1. The sum of the measured bank worths was measured to be 1.2o/o gteater than the predicted bank worths. This value is greater than 90% (100%-RWU) of the predicted bank worths.
3.3 Boron Endpoint Measurement Boron endpoint Acceptance Criteria is verified in 2-Sl-0-12, Core Reactivity. (2-PET-201 verified that 2-Sl-0-12 was successfully completed). The Technical Specification Acceptance Criteria within 2-Sl-0-12 is for measured Mode 2HZP ARO critical boron concentration shall be within the reactivity equivalence of +1000 pcm of the predicted HZP ARO critical boron concentration The Boron Endpoint Acceptance Criteria was met via performance of 2-Sl-0-12 (WO 117827845) following data collection from 2-PET-201. The Boron Endpoint was measured at 1089 ppm. The predicted value was 1034 ppm. This resulted in a difference of 55 ppm, or -569.9 pcm. 3.4 TemperatureCoefficient The Moderator Temperature Coefficient (MTC) Acceptance Criteria is verified in 2-Sl-0-23, Moderator Temperature Coefficient Determination at BOL (WO 115947713\. (2-PEl-201 verified that 2-Sl-0-23 was successfully completed.) The Technical Specification Acceptance Criteria within 2-SI-0-23 are: 3.4.1 The MTC is less than or equal to 0.0 pcm/'F atHZP. 90
6.3 lnitial Griticality and Low Power Physics Testing (2-PET-201) (continued) 3.4.2 The MTC is less than or equal to the Beginning of Cycle MTC as-measured criterion specified in the COLR. Both MTC Acceptance Criteria were met by successful performance of 2-Sl-0-23. The MTC was measured by 2-PET-201to be -3.515 pcm/'F, which is less than the 0.0 pcm/'F limit and below the COLR limit of -3.33 pcm/'F. 3.5 Zero Power Physics Testing Range The zero power physics testing range is determined such that reactivity feedback from nuclear heating does not compromise the measurements. The zero power physics testing range was determined to not have any reactivity feedback affects prior to performing rod worth, Boron Endpoint or ITC testing. Review Criteria The Review Criteria are listed below with two noted failures. 3.6 ADRC Checkout 3.6.1 The indicated reactivity is within 12% or 11 pcm of the theoretical reactivity for each measurement. Indicated reactivity during the reactor exponential test for ADRC checkout was measured at 25.0 pcm with a predicted reactivity of 24.8 pcm. This resulted in a difference of 0.94o/o or 0.2 pcm difference. 3.6.2 The reactivity traces do not exhibit excessive noise level ft2 pcm). During the determination of the physics testing range, reactivity traces were reviewed and confirmed to not exhibit excessive noise outside of the specified Review Criteria tolerance. 3.6.3 The reactivity indication is stable as a function of flux level (no obvious dependence on the flux input !evel). During the determination of the physics testing range, reactivity traces were reviewed and confirmed stable indication of reactivity as a function of flux level with no obvious dependence of the flux input level. 9L

The measured ARO boron endpoint was measured as 108g ppm, which was 55 ppm higher than the predicted boron endpoint of 1034 ppm. CR 1173995 initiated to document Review Criteria failure. 3.8.2 Measured ARO boron endpoint is within +5gg pcm equivalent boron. The measured ARO boron endpoint was measured as

No Acceptance or Review Criteria were associated with this procedure. 2-PAT-5.1, Dynamic Automatic Steam Dump Control, Sections 6.3, 6.4, and 6.5 were started on 5125116 and completed on 5127116. Section 6.3 and 6.4 were completed with all criteria met. Section 6.5 was completed after an Urgent Change to the procedure was approved by the TRG to change the load rejection testing criteria per Westinghouse Letter LTR-SCS- 1 6-23 (LTR-PCSA-1 6-23). The revised Acceptance Criteria was met for Section 6.5. On 5127116, with reactor power between 13 and 14 percent, the turbine was rolled and subsequently stopped due to noise in the area of the turning gear. The turbine was shut down and subsequently re-rolled and the noise repeated at approximately 400 rpm. The turbine was shutdown and the decision made to place the Unit in Mode 3 for turbine repairs. 96
7.1 Test Sequence for 30% Plateau (2-PAT-5.0) (continued) On 5128116 at 01:54 the Unit re-entered Mode 3 after a manua! reactor trip. The generator was purged and a clearance placed on the turbine for inspection. On 5/31/16 Unit 2 entered Mode 2 at 12:00 followed by taking the reactor critical at 13:39. Mode 1 entry was made on 17:49 on 5/31/16. Unit 2 was synchronized to the grid on 613116 at 20:39 and power increased to 15 percent. As power increased a steam leak required a manualturbine trip on 614116 at 16:58. On 6/5/16 at11:40 the turbine was again tied to the grid and at 12:27 a Reactor Trip - Safety lnjection occurred due to the #1 governor valve failing to the open position. After repairs to the governor valve, as well as additional work on 28 Main Feed Pump, the unit was returned to Mode 2 on 618116 at 01:39. Mode 1 was re-entered 6/8/16 at 09:32. On 6/9/16 at 06:40 the generator was synchronized to the grid. An un-isolable steam leak required a turbine trip on 6/9/16 at 17:52.

7.1 Test Sequence for 30% Plateau (2-PAT-5.0) (continued)
. 2-PAT-1.7, Operational Alignment of Process Temperature lnstrumentation, was completed on 6115116. All Acceptance Criteria were met. Two Review Criteria concerning parameters related to Delta T failed. The OTDT calculated by Eagle-21 and provided by the MMI carts indicated approximately 158% and the MCR indicators maximum value is 150%. lt was expected the reading from Eagle-21 was accurate and the MCR meters were ranged such that they cannot read the higher value. Additional data was taken at higher power ranges and the meters came on scale with no issue. CR 118246 was written.
o 2-PAT-5.4 Calibration of Steam and Feedwater Flow lnstruments at 30% Power was completed on 6/15/16 with all criteria met for the 30% Plateau. o 2-PAT-1.6 Startup Adjustments of Reactor Control System was completed on 6/15/16. This was data taking only with no Review or Acceptance Criteria at this plateau. Additionally, Engineering completed the following procedures, with no issues, to support their testing at the 27-29 percent power level: o 2-T141- lncore Flux Mapping o 2-TRl-0 PDMS Operability o 2-Sl-0 Excore QPTR & Axial Flux Difference o 2-Sl-92 lncore-Excore Cross Calibration Data o 2-T17.020 - PDMS Calibration o 2-fl Calorimetric Calibration After completion of all testing in this PAT it was noted that tempering flow isolations occured that did not meet the requirements of Westinghouse lefter WAT-D-6432. CR 1182320 was written to document tempering flow isolations that occurred as part of testing at this plateau. Corrective actions from this CR evaluated the length of the isolation and revised 2-SOI-2&3.01 adding a Precaution about WAT-D-6432. 3.0 Test Results AllAcceptance/Review Criteria were contained within the tests sequenced by this test. 4.0 Problems Problems encountered are addressed in the following discussions of each test sequenced by 2-PAT-5.0. 98
7.1.'a Dynamic Automatic Steam Dump Control (2-PAT-5.1) This test was performed as part of test sequences 2-PAT-3.0, Post Core Loading Precritical Test Sequence, and 2-PAT-5.0, Test Sequence for 30o/o Plateau. The test began on 118116 and was field work completed on 5127116. The steam dump valves were tested without steam flow during sequence 2-PAT-3.0 in accordance with Sections 6.1 and 6.2. The steam dump valves were tested with steam flow during sequence 2-PAT-5.0 in accordance with Sections 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5. The plant was less than 15% power, in Mode 1 with the main turbine not synchronized to the grid. For Sections 6.6, the steam dump valves were tested for the deferral from Startup with steam flow during Mode 3. This was done to confirm stroke times in a!! three of the following simulated scenarios: modulate open, trip close, and trip open. Additionally, vibration testing on the valves which was deferred from Startup Testing was performed. 1.0 Test Obiectives The objectives of this test were to: 1.1 Verify the operation of the Steam Dump Control System. The Steam Dump Control System has three modes of control; Steam Pressure, Plant Trip, and Load Rejection=Each mode of control was tested to demonstrate stability following a small transient. 1.2 Satisfy the requirements of UFSAR Table 14.2-2, Sheet 28, Dynamic Automatic Steam Dump ControlTest Summary. 1.3 Address additional scope of testing added to the Power Ascension Testing Program for the deferred Turbine Bypass System (Condenser Steam Dump Valves) testing.

7.1.1 Dynamic Automatic Steam Dump Gontrol (2-PAT-5.1) (continued) 2.0 Test Methods The steam dump control system is designed to maintain RCS average temperature by dumping steam to the condenser. This instruction functionally tested all three control modes (steam pressure control, plant trip control, and load reduction control) while reactor power was low (i.e., <15% power). The functional test included modulating the valves open and closed, and tripping open allsteam dump controlvalves using simulated signals while steam flow was isolated. The Steam Pressure controller was tested by varying reactor power and observing the controller automatically maintained steam header pressure by changing steam flow to the condenser. The Plant Trip controller was tested by simulating a reactor trip, varying reactor power, and observing controller parameters and output. The Load Rejection controller was tested by simulating the loss of load permissive, and observing controller parameters and output. 2-PAf-1.4, Pipe Vibration Monitoring, data was collected during the performance of the PAT. 3.0 Test Results AllAcceptance/Review Criteria were met or resolved as delineated below.

7.1.1 Dynamic Automatic Steam Dump Control (2-PAT-5.1) (continued) 3.7 Section 6.3 (Steam Pressure Controller) 3.7.1 After varying reactor power, the steam pressure controller controls steam header pressure at setpoint (t 25 psi) within nine minutes (three reset time constants). The steam pressure controller controlled steam header pressure at setpoint (t 25 psi) within nine minutes after varying reactor power. Steam header pressure remained within the setpoint throughout the transient. 3.8 Section 6.4 (Plant Trip Controller) 3.8.1 Before and after varying reactor power, the plant trip controller demand signal remained within 2.0o/o of the calculated demand signal. The plant trip controller demand signal remained within 2.0o/o of the calculated demand signal before and after varying reactor power. Note: There were no Review Criteria for Sections 6.5 and 6.6. 4.0 Problems 11] CR 1122945: During performance of WO 117441539, a jumper was placed on the wrong termina! point in Step 4.3.2[9] and an unexpected alarm was received in the Main Control Room. Work was stopped and the CR was initiated. Urgent Change, UC-1, was made to 2-PAT-5.1 Revision 2 to select a more accessible terminal point and labeled the terminal point for the jumper placement. l2l CR 1123150: 2-FCV-1-105 failed to re-close following the trip open test. The CR was written to troubleshoot. The needle valve between the positioner and the diaphragm on 2-FCV-1-105 was found to be closed. After verifying that the needle valve should be in the open position, the needle valve was opened and 2-FCV-1-105 closed as expected. All other steam dump needle valves were verified to be in the open position. 105
7.1.1 Dynamic Automatic Steam Dump Contro! (2-PAT-5.1) (continued) t3I CR 1124648: During performance of the steam dump sequence test in Step 6.1 .21281, the Data Sheet 2 steam dump valve position indications were not met at the three demand levels. The CR initiated WO 117506695 which was implemented, calibrating the steam dump controllers. ln addition, the upper limit switch for 2-FCV-1-103 was found to be sticking and it was replaced under the work order. The Step 6.1.21281, sequence test was then re-performed and the Data Sheet 2 steam dump valve positions were not met again at similar demand positions as the first performance. The position indications that were not met in both sequence tests were associated with valve 20o/o open and 80% open positions. These positions are close to where the open and closed limit switches actuate to turn on or off the red and green position indication lights. lt was determined that the steam dump valve sequence was acceptable because in each sequence test each bank of valves were full open before the next bank began to open and each valve modulated as required between fullopen and full closed demand positions. Data Sheet 2 was removed from the Review Criteria in Revision 3 to prevent additional unwarranted conditional reports and repairs. l4l CR 1124788 and CR 1127374: During performance of the steam dump valve modulation stroke timing test in Section 6.'1.3 through 6.1.6, the greater than 12 second valve stroke time requirement was not met. It was determined that the greater than 12 second stroke time is not a requirement in any design documentation. ln addition, there are no plant procedures that set up the valves to ensure a greater than 12 second modulation stroke time. This criteria was removed from 2-PAT-5.1 in Revision 3. t5I CR 1174915: During transfer of steam dump control to the loss of load controller, a diverging oscillation was observed in the loss of load controller response. The loss of load controller response was found to be proper for the plant input signals to the controller and the high gain settings of the controller. The evaluation of the loss of load controller was documented in Westinghouse Letter LTR-SCS-16-23. 106
7.1.1 Dynamic Automatic Steam Dump Control (2-PAT-5.1) (continued) t6I Urgent Change UC-1 to 2-PAT-5.1 Revision 0005 revised Step 6.5.2[4] and Acceptance Criteria 5.1.3[A] to verifo the loss of load controller responds properly for the plant input signals to the controller. Urgent Change UC-1 revised the remainder of the loss of load transient testing and evaluation in Sections 6.5.2 and 6.5.3. Acceptance Criteria 5.1.3[B] and Review Criteria 5.2.5 were deleted. ln addition, the Westinghouse test scoping document WATMBT-SU-2.8.5 Acceptance Criteria was revised to veriff the Ioss of load controller responds properly. Also a SAR Change Package No. U2-021 was approved and issued that revised Chapter 14 Table 14.2-2 Sheet 28 to verify the load rejection controller responds properly. These changes were based on the Westinghouse Letter LTR-SCS-16-23 which documented the proper response of the load rejection controller. 17l CR 1'170159: 2-FCV-1-108 did not initially meet the trip open stroke time Acceptance Criteria of 3 seconds. A volume booster adjustment was made to 2-FCV-1-108 under WO 117826339 and the valve met the trip open stroke time when retested. tBl CR 1170319: Piping vibration at2-FCY-1-111 did not meet Acceptance Criteria during the stroke test. Civil Design Engineering evaluated the piping response and found it acceptable. L01
7.1.2 Automatic Steam Generator Level Control Transients at Low Power (2-PAr-5.3) This test was performed as part of test sequence 2-PAT-5.0, Test Sequence for 30% Plateau. The test began on 5114116 and completed on 6l'15116. 1.0 Test Obiectives The objectives of this test were to: 1.1 Demonstrate the proper operation and automatic response of the Steam Generator Level Control System for each Steam Generator during steady-state operation. 1.2 Satisfy, in part, the requirements of UFSAR Table 14.2-2, Sheet 30, Automatic Steam Generator Level Control Test Summary. 2.0 Test Methods The UFSAR requires tests be performed at various power levels from 5% through 100o/o reactor power. This PAT tested low power aspects of the UFSAR requirement. For Section 6.1 the plant was in Mode 1 at less than 10% power with the main turbine not synchronized to the grid. For Section 6.2 the plant was in Mode 1 at approximately 30% power after the MFW Forward Flush/Back Flush Heatup had been completed. The test was performed in conjunction with maintenance work order activities to collect data needed to calibrate and tune feedwater control system components. Actual testing in Section 6.1, Feedwater Bypass Control Valves, was started on dayshift 5125116 and completed on nightshift 5/26/16. All Acceptance and Review Criteria were met for Section 6.1, with no additional tuning of the Feedwater Bypass Control Valve Controllers being necessary. Section 6.2, Transfer From Bypass To MFW Reg Valves, was initiated on 6112116. During the performance of Section 6.2.1, Transfer From Bypass To MFW Reg Valve For SG No. 1, the Steam Generator leve! was not stable within the required + 2o/o during the 10 minute monitoring period. The decision was made to continue testing in accordance with Section 6.2.4 for SG No. 4 and perform a re-test of Section 6.2.1 at a Iater time. During the performance of Section 6.2.4, Transfer From Bypass To MFW Reg Valve For SG No. 4, the Main Feedwater Reg Valve, 2-FCV-003-0103, did not respond to a 30% demand. lt was determined that the air line to the MFW Reg Valve for SG No. 4 was Ieaking. WO 117904374 was written and performed to repair the leak. 108
7.1.2 Automatic Steam Generator Level Control Transients at Low Power (2-PAT-5.3) (conti nued) On 6/13/16, Re-Test #1 was performed for Section 6.2.1, Transfer From Bypass To MFW Reg Valve For SG No. 1. All Acceptance Criteria were met for SG No. 1 MFW Reg Valve with no adjustments being made. Repairs to the SG No. 4 air line were completed on 6113116 under WO 117904374, and testing was resumed for the SG No. 4 MFW Reg Valve. All four MFW Reg Valves successfully met the Acceptance Criteria upon completion of testing in Section 6.2. At the conclusion of testing, CR 1181278 was written to address areas of concern. 3.0 Test Results All Acceptance/Review Criteria were met or resolved as delineated below.

CR 1181278 was generated and Engineering was requested to evaluate the data and provide recommendations. Engineering's recommendation was to proceed with power Ascension Testing to the 50% plateau. 3.4.2 lndicated Steam Generator level was within t2o/o of the program Leve! within 10 minutes following Main Feed Reg.

7.1.2 Automatic Steam Generator Level Control Transients at Low Power (2-PAT-5.3) (conti nued ) 4.0 Problems t1] CR 1181278 was written due to questions regarding the wording of the Acceptance Criteria in 2-PAT-5.3. A comparison of 5.1.2 Acceptance Criteria for Section 6.2 (Transfer from Bypass to MFW ControlValves) to the Westinghouse document WBT-D4709 (LTR-PCSA-14-31) confirmed that the Acceptance Criteria in 2-PAT-5.3 were written correctly. The steps in the body of the procedure to perform the test and verify the Acceptance Criteria were also reviewed with the originator of the CR. It was determined that the procedure for this section of the test was written correctly and neither the test nor the results were invalidated by the concerns in the CR. CR 1181278 documented another concern which stated "The procedure is not clear if the performer looks at the data before or after a time. The procedure should say AFTER, because that is the approximate time that the main feedwater is transferred into Auto. With clarification, allAcceptance Criteria are met." A review of Data Sheet 11 revealed that for each Main Feedwater Reg Valve, the column to record data contains notation which states "Data from time in Step 6.2.X[18]". Step 6.2.X[18] recorded the end time for the 10 minute monitoring period. lt would have been better if Data Sheet 11 would have stated "Data from monitoring period in Steps 6.2.X1161 through 6.2.X[18]". Additionally, during the review, it was discussed that the Acceptance Criteria was to monitor the Demand Signal oscillations for each of the Main Feedwater Reg Valves; however, the test kept the Reg valves in Manual instead of Auto during this portion of testing. Fortunately, the Test Coordinators collected the appropriate data with the valves in Manual, then swapped the controller position to Auto, as allowed by the procedure, and collected the appropriate data in this condition. The data was analyzed with the valves in AUTO and it was determined that the Acceptance Criteria were met. Since the data was also collected with the valves in AUTO and the Acceptance Criteria were met, there was no need to re-perform this section of the test. 113
7.1.2 Automatic Steam Generator Level Control Transients at Low Power (2-PAT-5.3) (conti nued ) The data recorded in the test for the feedwater flow oscillations to SG #2 was above the acceptable limit of 60/o for flow oscillations; however, CR 1181278 states "The feedwater was controlled and did not oscillate. However, the maximum deviation was about 6.39% of average flow." A review of the data indicated that the feedwater flow to SG #2 started off with a deviation of >6o/oi however, the controller brought the flow to within an acceptable range in a steady manner and maintained an acceptable flow rather than oscillating for a period of time (see Figure 7.1.2-1) The fact that the feedwater flow stabilized within a range which was less than 6% without oscillating meets the intent of the Acceptance Criteria. CR 1'181278 also requested Engineering to evaluate data on one Review Criteria and provide recommendations. Engineering's recommendation was to proceed with Power Ascension Testing to the 50% plateau for the following Review Criteria: o Section 6.2, MFW Reg Valves were not between the minimum and maximum positions required l2l WO 117904374 was initiated to repair a leak on the air Iine toli4 Steam Generator MFW Reg. Valve. The valve was retested after repairs and passed Acceptance Criteria. lL4

7.2.1 Turbine Generator Trip with Coincident Loss of Offsite Power Test (2-PAr-5.2) This test was performed as part of 2-PAT-6.0, Test Sequence for 5Oo/o Plateau, and initiated in Mode 1. The test began pre-requisites on 7nn6 and was field work completed on 7l'14116. 1.0 Test Obiectives The objectives of this test were to: 1.1 Demonstrate Unit 2 response to a turbine generator trip with a coincident loss of offsite power (LOOP) is in accordance with design. 1.2 Demonstrate that all four emergency diesel generators (EDG) automatically start, the Unit 2 EDGs connect to their respective shutdown board and provide power to the controls, indications, and equipment necessary to maintain Unit 2 in Hot Standby (Mode3) conditions for a minimum of 30 minutes. 1.3 Demonstrate that operators can control plant parameters using equipment available during a loss of offsite power. 1.4 Satisfy the requirements of UFSAR Table 14.2-2, Sheet 33, Turbine Generator Trip With Coincident Loss Of Offsite Power Test Summary. 1.5 Provide the steps necessary to protect Unit 1 operations. 2.0 Test Methods lnitial conditions for Unit 2 include reactor power at approximately 30% of rated thermal power, the main generator synchronized to the TVA grid, and electrical load greater than or equal to 120 MWe. All four diesel generators were in their normal standby condition. Unit 1 was in Mode 1 with alignment of the Unit 1 Reactor Coolant Pump Boards, Unit 1 Unit Boards, Common Boards and Shutdown Boards 1A-A and 1B-B energized from normal power sources, the USST's associated with Mode 1 operation. The C-S CCS pump was aligned and in service to supply header 1Bl2B in accordance with 0-SOl-70.01, "Component Cooling Water System". The automatic transfer of the 2A and 2C RCP boards to the A RCP Start bus was blocked and the automatic transfer of the 28 and 2D RCP boards to the B RCP Start bus was blocked. The automatic transfer of the 2A-A Shutdown board to the 2A-A Diesel Generator and the automatic transfer of the 2B-B Shutdown board to the 2B-B Diesel Generator were not blocked. The automatic transfer of the 2A-A Shutdown board to the D CSST and the automatic transfer of the 2B-B Shutdown board to the C CSST was blocked. The maintenance supplies to the Unit 2 Shutdown L24
7.2.1 Turbine Generator Trip with Coincident Loss of Offsite Power Test (2-PAT-5.2) (conti nued ) Boards were verified in the "racked down/removed" position. The 6.9 KV B common board was in its normal alignment. The B common Board was not de-energized during the test to protect auxiliaries on both Units. The Unit 2 Main Turbine was manually tripped. Following the turbine trip, Operations concurrently and immediately performed the following:
. Opened the normal power supply breaker to the 2A-A Shutdown Board. The board did not transfer to its alternate power source, resulting in a dead board condition. Allfour emergency diesel generators (EDGs) started as expected. The 2A-A EDG connected to and energized the 2A-A Shutdown Board. . Opened the normal power supply breaker to the 2B-B Shutdown Board. The board did not transfer to its alternate power source, resulting in a dead board condition. The 2B-B EDG connected to and energized the 2B-B Shutdown Board as expected.
o Operations ensured the U2 Main turbine and U2 Main Generator tripped. Following the Unit 2 generator trip, all four Unit 2 RCP Boards did not transfer to their alternate power source and remained de-energized. An automatic reactor trip of Unit 2 occurred when voltage was lost to the Unit 2 Reactor Coolant Pumps (RCPs). Operations then entered 2-E-0, Reactor Trip or Safety lnjection. With af l four Unit 2 reactor coolant pumps de-energized, the RCS developed natural circulation conditions. Natural circulation parameters took longer than Unit 1 to establish due to the very Iow decay heat generated in the new core. The Unit 2 Main Steam lsolation Valves (MSIV's) were manually closed to support testing with a simulated Loss of Offsite Power configuration. Unit 2's Main Steam line pressure, steam generator pressure, and RCS temperature were maintained by the SG PORVs discharge to atmosphere. Auxiliary feedwater automatically started, and steam generator level trended to post trip setpoint conditions. The test ran at least 30 minutes after the 2A-A and 2B-B 6.gkv Shutdown Boards were energized from their respective emergency diesel generators without restoring offsite power. Unit 2 was restored to a planned outage upon test completion at the direction of the shift Manager. 125
7.2.1 Turbine Generator Trip with Goincident Loss of Offsite Power Test (2-PAT-5.2) (continued) 3.0 Test Results All Acceptance/Review Criteria were met or resolved as delineated below. Acceotance Criteria 3.1 The 2A-A Diesel Generator automatically starts and connects to 2A-A Shutdown Board following the Loss of Offsite Power transient. 2A-A Diesel Generator automatically started and connected to its respective shutdown board. 3.2 The 2B-B Diesel Generator automatically starts and connects to 2B-B Shutdown Board following the Loss of Offsite Power transient. 2B-B Diesel Generator automatically started and connected to its respective shutdown board. 3.3 The Unit 2 Pressurizer Safety Valves do not open during the test. Pressurizer Safeties did not open during the test. 3.4 The Unit 2 Steam Generator Safety Valves do not open during the test. Steam Generator Safety Valves did not open during the test. 3.5 A Unit 2 Safety lnjection is not initiated during the test. No safety injection was initiated during testing. 3.6 Hot standby (Mode 3) conditions on Unit 2 are maintained for at least 30 minutes after the 2A-A and 2B-B 6.9kV Shutdown Boards are energized from respective emergency diesel generators without restoring offsite power. Hot Standby (Mode 3) conditions were maintained for at least 30 minutes after 2A-A and 2B-B were energized lor their respective emergency diesel generators without restoring offsite power. L26
7.2.1 Turbine Generator Trip with Coincident Loss of Offsite Power Test (2-PAT-5.2) (conti nued ) 3.7 The 1A-A Diesel Generator automatically starts but does not connect to the 1A-A Shutdown Board following the Loss of Offsite Power transient. 1A-A Diesel Generator automatically started but did not connect to the 1A-A Shutdown Board. 3.8 The 1B-B Diesel Generator automatically starts but does not connect to the 1BB Shutdown Board following the Loss of Offsite Power transient. 1B-B Diesel Generator automatically started but did not connect to the 1B-B Shutdown Board. Review Criteria 3.9 The following Unit 2 parameters were maintained within their respective limits for at least 30 minutes immediately after de-energizing 2A-A and 2B-B Shutdown Boards, using equipment available with offsite power removed from Unit 2: 3.9.1 RCS Cold Leg Temperature (il7"F to 560oF and changing at a rate less than 50"F in one hour) This criteria was not met. RCS Cold Leg Temperatures reduced below the minimum temperature of 547 degrees during the 30 minute period. The rate of change was less than 50 degrees in one hour. CR 1192287 documented this issue and was due to Turbine Driven AFW cooling since reactor decay heat was minimal and no RCPs in service. 3.9.2 Pressurizer Level (17Yo to 50%) Pressurizer level maintained between 25o/o and 34% during the test period. 3.9.3 Pressurizer Pressure (2000 psig to 2335 psig) Pressurizer Pressure maintained between 2119 and 2244.8 psig during the test period. 3.9.4 Steam Generator Levels (17o/o to 60% narrow range and either constant or trending toward 38% of narrow range) Steam Generator narrow range level maintained between 30% and 39% during the test period. L21
7.2.1 Turbine Generator Trip with Coincident Loss of Offsite Power Test (2-P AT -5.2) (conti n ued ) 4.0 Problems t1] CR 1192287 documented the Review Criteria was not met when the RCS cold leg temperature decreased below the minimum criteria of 547oF. This deficiency is attributed to the Turbine Drive Auxiliary Feedwater Pump steam supply source cooling the loop as it supplied AFW to the steam generators. With minimal reactor decay heat and no RCPs running, the loop temperature was not maintained above the minimum criteria. 121 CR 1192023 was written to address the observation that the 2A-A Diesel Generator appeared to be slower than expected in tying on to its shutdown board. This was neither a Review or Acceptance Criteria for this test. Subsequent review by plant staff did indicate the 2A-A Diesel Generator did not tie onto the board within the Technical Specification limit and was declared inoperable. The diesel generator was repaired by plant maintenance and had no impact on meeting the PAT criteria as delineated in UFSAR Chapter 14, Table 14.2.2, Sheet 33. L2B
7.2.2 Automatic Reactor Control System (2-PAT-6.1) This test was performed at the 50% test plateau as directed by 2-PAT-6.0, Test Sequence for 50o/o Plateau. Testing was started on 6/18/16 and field work completed on 7112116. 1.0 Test Obiectives The objectives of this test were to: 1.1 Demonstrate the ability of the Automatic Rod Control System to maintain the average RCS temperature (T",r) within acceptable Iimits during both steady-state and transient conditions. 1.2 Satisfy the requirements of UFSAR Table 14.2-2, Sheet 31, Automatic Reactor Control System Test Summary. 2.0 Test Methods With the Reactor Gontrol System (i.e. Rod Control) in manual and the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) at steady state conditions, Rod Controlwas placed in automatic to demonstrate that steady state conditions could be maintained. Subsequently, with Rod Control in manual, T"w was varied from the Reference Temperature (T,"fl by approximately +6 oF(+SoF to +7oF), by manually changing the position of Control Bank D with no deliberate turbine load change. Rod Controlwas then placed in automatic to demonstrate the ability to restore and stabilizeTr- to within a t1.SoF dead band from T,"1via proper positioning of Control Bank D. The same test was also performed for a T"* change of approximately -6oF (-SoF to -7oF) relative to Trer. The test was performed with reactor power approximately 45o/oto 47% of Rated Thermal Power (RTP) and RCS average temperature, pressurizer level and steam generator levels on program. The initial Taw - T,"smismatch was within tloF and RCS pressure was between 2200 to 2250 psig. 3.0 Test Results AllAcceptance/Review Criteria were met or resolved as delineated below. No control system settings were changed based on the performance of this test. Figures 7.2.2-1 through 7.2.2-g depict the performance results of the automatic control systems. L29
7.2.2 Automatic Reactor Gontrol System (2-PAT-6.1) (continued) Acceotance Criteria 3.1 No manual operator action or intervention is required to return the plant to stable conditions (i.e., auctioneered RCS Taw within 11.soF of T,"r) for both steady-state and transient conditions. No manual operator action or intervention was required. 3.2 For steady-state operation, and for both increasing and decreasing T"*temperature transients, the Automatic Rod Control System responds properly to automatically position control rods and return auctioneered RCS T"r, to within +1.soF of Tr*when the ARCS is placed in AUTO control mode. Rod Control properly responded to steady state and transient conditions to return T"r, to within 11.5"F of T'er. Review Criteria 3.3 Pressurizer pressure tracks the response of auctioneered T"r, during the T"o transient tests and is controlled back to approximately 2235 psig due to automatic pressurizer pressure control. Pressurizer pressure tracked the response to Tavg and controlled back to approximately 2235 psig. 3.4 Pressurizer level and level setpoint track the response of auctioneere6 Tave during the T"o transient tests due to automatic pressurizer level control. Pressurizer level and level setpoint tracked the response to T"*. 130
7.2.2 Automatic Reactor Gontrol System (2-PAT-6.1) (continued) 4.0 Problems t1l CR 1190719 was written for two procedure deficiencies on 2-PAT-6.1, Automatic Reactor Control System. Steps 6.2[8] and 6.3[12] said to ENSURE the passive summer indicated 72 steps/min. The passive summer does not indicate rod speed. The passive summer indicates an enor signal in Degrees F. Steps 6.2[8] and 6.3[12]should have ENSURED the passive summer indicated +5oF and - soF, respectively. The error was identified, discussed by PAT and Operations, CTL entry entered, and the test was continued. The +/- 5 degrees was verified during performance. Also Steps 6.2[10] and 6.3[14] verified that the rod speed was72 steps/min at the time the rods were placed to auto.
"Step 6.3[3]1." was a typo and should have been deleted.
