PO-3, Attachment 2, Rev. 2 Also see Simulator Operator Instructions (last page of this document).

READ TO CANDIDATE DIRECTION TO CANDIDATE:

I will explain the initial conditions, and state the task to be performed. All control room steps shall be performed for this JPM, including any required communications. I will provide initiating cues and reports on other actions when directed by you. Ensure you indicate to me when you understand your assigned task. To indicate that you have completed your assigned task return the handout sheet I provided you.

INITIAL CONDITIONS:

• Plant was at full power.

• Incores #9 and #35 are inoperable.

• CRD #11 has dropped into the core.

INITIATING CUES:

• During performance of PO-3, Alternate Incore and Excore Applications, the Control Room Supervisor directs you to calculate Excore Quadrant Power Tilt utilizing Power Range NI Channels on Panel C-06.

Notes:

Evaluator provides candidate with a Working Copy.

Proc. Step TASK ELEMENT 2 STANDARD Grade 5.2.1 Obtain lower and upper excore readings as required. (SAL, SBL, SCL, SDL and SAU, SBU, SCU, SDU).

Lower and upper excore readings from the PPC using NI5L, NI5U, NI6L, NI6U, NI7L, NI7U, NI8L and NI8U or from the Upper and Lower NI Detector meters on EC-06 are entered on PO-3,, within +/-1% (0.01) of the answer key.

S U Comment:

CRITICAL STEP Proc. Step TASK ELEMENT 3 STANDARD Grade 5.2.1 Calculate the sum from the Lower + Upper excore readings (SA, SB, SC, SD Lower + Upper excore readings (SA, SB, SC, SD) summed and entered on PO-3, Attachment #2, within +/-1% (0.01) of the answer key.

S U Comment:

CRITICAL STEP

JPM RO SRO ADMIN 1a PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT Page 5 of 9 July 2008 Proc. Step TASK ELEMENT 4 STANDARD Grade 5.2.1

1. Calculate the sum of all excore readings divided by 4:

(S = all detectors/4).

Sum of all excores reading divided by 4 calculated and entered on PO-3, Attachment 2, within +/- 1% (0.01) of the answer key.

S U Comment:

CRITICAL STEP Proc. Step TASK ELEMENT 5 STANDARD Grade 5.2.1 Calculate the Quadrant Tilt.

Using the formula TEX

= [(SX - S)/S], calculate the tilt for each Quadrant, within +/-1% (0.01) of the answer key.

S U Comment:

Evaluator: Acceptance criteria is all four Quadrant Tilts should add up to zero (0) +/- 0.01 CRITICAL STEP Proc. Step TASK ELEMENT 6 STANDARD Grade 5.2.1 Have calculations verified.

Have another qualified individual verify the calculations.

S U Comment:

Notes: Evaluator CUE: State to operator that someone else will verify the calculation.

JPM RO SRO ADMIN 1a PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT Page 6 of 9 July 2008 Proc. Step TASK ELEMENT 7 STANDARD Grade n/a Notify the CRS that Excore Quadrant Power Tilt has been completed per PO-3,.

JPM RO SRO ADMIN 1a PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT Page 8 of 9 July 2008 SIMULATOR OPERATOR INSTRUCTIONS SIMULATOR SET UP:

Simulator Setup Instructions:

• Full power IC

• Drop CRD #11 fully into the core with RD-11 (Final Value = 2) on PIDRD02

• When plant has stabilized, freeze the Simulator and SNAP. ***See NOTE #1 below.

• Use PO-3, Attachment 2 and record/calculate from the Upper and Lower NI Detector meters on EC-06) and use as answer key.

• Leave the Simulator in freeze during performance of this JPM to ensure that the conditions will not change
