TheStartuptestingverifieskeycoreandplantparameters areaspredicted.

Themajorpartsofthistestingprograminclude:1)Initialcriticality following refueling, 2)Zeropowerphysicstesting,and3)Powerascension testing.ThisCycle11StartupReportisbeingsubmitted inaccordance withTechnical Specification 6.9.1.1because:A.Fueldesignchangesweremade,introducing the"ValueAdded"pellet,theGuardianGridandconsequently eliminating longlowerend-capsThetestdatasatisfied allacceptance criteriaanddemonstrated generalconformance topredicted performance..

St.LucieUnit2,Cycle11StartupPhysicsTestingReportII.cle11FuelDesinTheCycle11reloadconsistsentirelyoffuelmanufactured byAseaBrownBoveri-Combustion Engineering (ABB-CE).

TheRegionNassemblies consistofnon-gadolinia fuelrods(4.1to4.45w/oUQ35enriched) andGadolinia (UOz-GDg03)'bearing fuelrods(Gadolinia burnableabsorberfuelrods,4or8w/ogadolinia homogeneously dispersed ina2.2to2.55w/oUQ35enrichedcarrier).

Themechanical designoftheRegionNfuelassemblies differsfromRegionsM,LandKinthefollowing ways:1)Thebottomgridisthelaserwelded"Guardian" grid.TheGuardiangridincorporates debrisstoppingfeatures.

Therewasnosafetyimpactduetothefueldesignchanges.Subsequent LowPowerPhysics,PowerAscension andShapeAnnealing Factor(SAF)testingsubstantiated theconclusions oftheevaluations.

St.LucieUnit2,Cycle11StartupPhysicsTestingRepor'tIII.CEADroTimeTestinFollowing thecorereloadandpriortotheapproachtocriticality, CEAdroptimetestingwasperformed.

Theobjective ofthistestistomeasurethetimeofinsertion fromthefullywithdrawn position(upperelectrical limit)tothe90%insertedpositionunderhot,fullflowconditions.

TheaverageCEAdroptimewasfoundtobe2.29secondswithmaximumandminimumtimesof2.92secondsand0.90seconds,respectively.

Alldroptimeswerewithinthe3.1secondmaximumrequirement ofTechnical Specification 3.1.3.4.'InadditiontheCEAdroptimedistribution requirements forscramshape(averagedroptime<2.77secondsandmaximumdroptime<3.07seconds)specified inthereloadPC/M98016(Reference 6)weresatisfied.

St.LucieVnit2,Cycle11StartupPhysicsTestingReportIV.AroachtoCriticali Theapproachtocriticality involveddilutingfromasub-critical boronconcentration of1660ppmtoapredicted criticalboronconcentration of1441ppm.InverseCountRateratio(ICRR)plotsweremaintained duringthedilutionprocessusingwiderangechannelsBandD.RefertoFigures2and3forICRRinformation.

Table1summarizes thedilutionratesandtimes,aswellasbeginning andendingboronconcentrations.

'nitialcriticality forSt.LucieUnit2,Cycle11,wasachievedonDecember12,1998at06:29withCEAgroup5at60incheswithdrawn andallotherCEAsattheall-rods-out (ARO)position.

Theactualcriticalconcentration wasobservedtobe1473ppm.

St.tucieUnit2,Cycle11StartupPhysicsTestingReportV.ZeroPowerPhsicsTestinToensurethattheoperating characteristics oftheCycle11corewereconsistent withthedesignpredictions, thefollowing testswereperformed:

1)Reactivity ComputerCheckout; 2)AllRodsOutCriticalBoronConcentration; 3)Isothermal Temperature Coefficient Measurement; and4)CEAGroupRodWorthMeasurements.

Properoperation ofthereactivity computerisensuredbyperforming the"Reactivity ComputerCheckout".

Thispartofthetestingdetermines theappropriate testingrangeandchecksthatreactivity changesarebeingcorrectly calculated bythereactivity computer's internalalgorithms.

Thetestingrangeisselectedsuchthatthesignaltonoiseratioismaximized andthattestingisperformed belowthepointofaddingnuclearheat.Thereactivity calculation is.checkedby'erforming apositiveandnegativereactorperiodtestthroughrespective introduction ofaknownamountofpositiveandnegativereactivity.

Theresultsofthereactivity computercheckoutwerecomparedtotheappropriate predictions suppliedinthereloadPC/M98016(Reference 6).Satisfactory agreement wasobtained.

Themeasurement oftheall-rods-out (ARO)criticalboronconcentration wasperformed.

Themeasuredvaluewas1524.9ppmwhichcomparedfavorably withthedesignvalueof1491ppm(Reference 2).Thiswaswithintheacceptance limitsof+100PPM.Themeasurement oftheisothermal temperature coefficient wasperformed andtheresulting moderator temperature coefficient (MTC)wasderived.TheMTCwasdetermined tobe-1.630pcm/'Fwhichfellwellwithintheacceptance criteriaof+2.0pcm/'F.ofthedesignMTCof-1.938pcm/'F(corrected).

Thissatisfies Unit2Technical Specification 3.1.1.4whichstatesthattheMTCshallbelesspositivethan5.0pcm/;Fwhenreactorpowerislessthanorequalto70%ratedthermalpower.Rodworthmeasurements wereperformed usingtherodswapmethodology.

Thismethodinvolvesexchanging areference group,whichis.measuredbytheborationdilutiontechnique, witheachoftheremaining testgroups.Acomparison ofthemeasuredanddesignCEAreactivity worthsisprovidedinTable2.Thefollowing acceptance criteriaapplytothemeasurements made:1)Themeasuredvalueofeachtestgroup,orsupergroup

or+100pcmofitscorresponding designCEAworths,whichever isgreaterand,2)Themeasureworthofthereference groupandthetotalworthforalltheCEAgroupsmeasurediswithin+10%ofthetotaldesignworth.Allacceptance criteriaweremet.

0 St.IucieUnit2,~cle11StartupPhysicsTestingReportVI.PowerAscension ProramDuringpowerascension, thefixedincoredetectorsystemisutilizedtoverifythatthecoreisloadedproperlyandtherearenoabnormalities occurring invariouscoreparameters (corepeakingfactors,linearheatrate,andtilt)forpowerplateausat25%,50%,andgreaterthan98%ratedthermalpower.Asummaryofthefluxmapsatthe25%,50%and98%powerlevelsisprovidedinfigures4,58c6.Thesefluxmapsareusedforcomparing themeasuredpowerdistribution withthepredicted powerdistribution.

Forthepurposesofthepowerascension, theacceptance criteriarequirestheRMSvalueofthepowerdeviation belessthanorequalto5%.Inaddition, forthe25%and98%plateaus, theindividual assemblypowersshouldbewithin10%ofthepredicted power(both)andtherelativepowerdensity(RPD)shouldbewithin0.1RPDunitsofpredicted forthe25%powercase.Thesecriteriaweresatisfied.

AShapeAnnealing Factor(reference 5)testwasperformed inconjunction withthepowerascension (reference 3).Thistestwasnecessitated bythereplacement oftheReactorProtection SystemChannel"D"theLinearPowerRangeDetectorandthechangeintheactivefuelstackheightintroduced withtheRegionNfuel.ThemeasuredShapeAnnealing Factorswereinstalled intheLinearPowerRangeDetectorinstrument circuitsasrequiredbythereloadPC/M98016(Reference 6).Additionally, calorimetric, nuclear,anddeltaTpowercalibrations wereperformed ateachpowerplateaupriortoadvancing reactorpowertothenexthigherlevelspecified byprocedure.
