Determination of Chemical Characteristics of the 1B Boiler. Section II. Test Results DL-S-209.

Description: The purpose of the test was to determine the extent of mixing when chemicals are added to an idle boiler. The conclusion was that the chemicals added to the 1B boiler in a hot, idle condition did not become evident in any of three sampling locations tested within a period of two hours after the chemical injection. It is concluded that circulation in idle boilers is inadequate to promote the mixing necessary to distribute chemicals throughout the unit in a two hour period.

Initial Start-Up and Low Power Operation. Test Results DL-S-161 (T-550127). Special Procedure Section 1

Description: The purpose of the test was to determine the Reactor Plant Systems operating characteristics during start-up and in the low power range. The Decay Heat Removal Valve, instead of operating for one hour as called for in the Test Procedure, operated for only six minutes. This was due to the fact that the turbine room basement became filled with steam when the Decay Heat Removal Valve opened. Due to the fact that the valve operated only once, the data therefore includes information for only one loa… more

Primary Plant Control and Instrumentation. Section I. Test Results DL-S-125, T-550079

Description: The purpose of the test was to determine if the main coolant pump stator and bearing water temperature monitors and the "Primary Coolant Pump Noise Monitors" operate properly. The 1A, 1B and 1C pump bearing water temperature monitors operated satisfactorily. It is believed that the data for the 1D Bearing Water Temperature shown in Table I should be tabulated ad 1D stator temperature. This discrepancy is clarified in the note on Table I. The 1A and 1C pump stator temperature monitors operate s… more

Rod Drop Transient. Test Results DL-S-247 (T-641323). Section I

Description: The purpose of the test was to obtain data on plant performance after a single rod has been dropped with the plant at 13 mw gross generator output. The operation of the plant after a single control rod (No. 23) had been dropped was within allowable limits. The high speed recorder charts could not be evaluated accurately due to the fast chart speed and also because they were calibrated to cover a much wider range than was necessary. The necessary data was obtained from the normal plant records i… more
