5.9.1 Continue to withdraw control rods to increase reactor power until all APRM DOWNSCALE annunciators are cleared. 5.9.2 As power is increased per step 5.9.1, verify the turbine bypass valves open in sequence to maintain reactor pressure at [66.5 kg/cm2). 5.9.3 Verify the following conditions exist in preparation fur transferring the reactor mode switch to the RUN Mode:
- 5.9.3.1 Main steam pressure greater than [60 kg/cm2) and associated annunciators [A xxx, later) are cleared.
5.9.3.2 Condenser pressure less than [x em Hg absolute) and associated annunciators are cleared. 5.9.3.3 APRM DOWNSCALE annunciators are cleared. 5.9.3.4 All APRMs Indicating between (5)% and [12]% 5.9.3.5 The reactor coolant chemistry limits are within the following limits: Chlorides < 10 ppb Conductivity at 25 *C < 0.20 S/cm pH at 25 'O 6.4 - 7.8 5.9.4 Switch the reactor mode switch to the RUN Mode and reard the date and time. 5.9.5 Verify APRM rod block setpoints transfer to the flow biased setpoints. 5.9.6 Verify the four divisional MSIV CLOSURE TRIP BYPASSED annunciators [A xxx) have cleared. 5.9.7 Align CUW retum flow to both feedwater lines and open the isolated fesowater line to feed the vessel with both feedwater - lines in accordance with SOP-B21, " Nuclear Boller System"/" 5.9.9 Continue to withdraw control rods to increase reactor power until [1.5) bypass valves are open to roll the main turbine. The CUW flow algnment wlIl require further evaluation.
