RAPID DOWN POWER Attachment 2 Sheet 1 of 1 Gallons of Boric Acid/Target Rod Height Required for Power Reduction NOTE

• This Attachment serves as a reactivity plan. [C.3]

• This table applies to Cycle 15 only.

• Target rod heights correspond to the lower (target) power level in each row.

• Gallons of boric acid in the table are for 10% power reduction increments. These are additive for power reductions of greater than 10%.

Example: A power reduction from 90% to 60% at BOL would require [180 gal +

171 gal +163 gal =514 gal]

• For purposes of this procedure, 5% increments can be obtained by dividing by two.

• As used in this table, the following times in core life are assumed:

BOl (0 ~ EFPO ~ 161) (3000 MWO/MTU)

MOL (161 < EFPO ~ 333) (10,000 MWO/MTU)

EOl (333 < EFPO ~ 527) (17,000 MWO/MTU)
