EOP-9 Functional Recovery Flashcards
What are the “big” picture mitigating strategies of EOP-9?
Initial actions aimed at maintaining core cooling.
Follow-up actions at aimed at ensuring containment integrity.
How do you get into EOP-9?
Three methods:
Directly from EOP-1.0 Diagnostic Flow Chart
- CR habitable, Reactivity, 3 of 4 Preferred AC, Left Train DC, Right Train DC or D-21-2 criteria not met.
- Diagnosis cannot be made
- Simultaneous multiple events in progress
- Any conditions/symptoms that a licensed operator considers serious and for which other EOP/AOP cannot be identified.
From a previous “in-use” EOP (excluding EOP-1.0)
- Improper diagnosis
- SFSC criteria NOT MET and corrective actions NOT in-progress.
- ORP step directs implementation of FRP. For example, EOP-7.0 directs initiation of once-through-cooling and entry into EOP-9.0
Lower Mode Entry
- Any conditions/symptoms which a licensed operator considers serious and for which other Emergency/Off-Normal Procedures cannot be identified, assuming plant is initially > SDC and < Hot Standby
What is a jeopardized safety function? Challenged?
Jeopardized = SFSC criteria NOT met.
Challenged = judgment that SFSC may not be met in near future
The highest priority Safety Function should always be attacked first
What is success in the RC-1 Path of EOP-9?
- Maximum of one full-length control rod NOT fully inserted
- Rx power lowering and a negative Startup Rate
OR
- Rx power is less than 10-6% and is constant or lowering on Wide Range Excore indication OR Rx power is less than 100 cps and is constant or lowering on Source Range excore indication
What is success in the RC-2 path of EOP-9?
RC-2 Boration Using CVCS
- Borating at greater than 33 gpm
- Rx power lowering and a negative Startup Rate
OR
- Rx power is less than 10-6% and is constant or lowering on Wide Range Excore indication or Rx power is less than 100 cps and is constant or lowering on Source Range excore indication
What is success in the RC-3 path of EOP-9?
RC-3 Boration Using SIAS
- Borating at greater than 33 gpm
- Rx power lowering and a negative Startup Rate
OR
- Rx power is less than 10-6% and is constant or lowering on Wide Range Excore indication or Rx power is less than 100 cps and is constant or lowering on Source Range excore indication
What is succuss in MVAE-AC-1 Offsite Power path of EOP-9?
