Content:
technical advisors and operating personnel from the plant manager through the operations chain to the licensed operators shall receive all the training indicated below. Managers and technicians in the instrumentation and control (I&C), health physics, and chemistry departments shall receive training commensurate with their responsibilities. A. Incore Instrumentation i. Use of fixed or movable incore detectors to determine the extent of core damage and geometry changes. ii. Use of thermocouples in determining peak temperatures; methods for extended range readings; methods for direct readings at terminal junctions. iii. Methods for calling up (printing) incore data from the plant computer. B. Excore Nuclear Instrumentation (NIS) DRAFT Rev. 1 - April 1996 13.2.2-14 Use of NIS for determination of void formation; void location basis for NIS response as a function of core temperatures and density changes. C. Vital Instrumentation i. Instrumentation response in an accident environment; failure sequence (time to failure, method of failure); indication reliability (actual versus indicated level). ii. Alternative methods for measuring flows, pressures, levels, and temperatures. a. Determination of pressurizer level if all level transmitters fail. b. Determination of letdown flow with a clogged filter (low flow). c. Determination of other reactor coolant system parameters if the primary methods of measurement has failed. D. Primary Chemistry i. Expected chemistry results with severe core damage; consequences of transferring small quantities of liquid outside containment; importance of using leak-tight systems. ii. Expected isotopic breakdown for core damage; for clad damage. iii. Corrosion effects of extended immersion in primary water; time to failure. E. Radiation Monitoring i. Response of process and area monitors to severe damages; behavior of detectors when saturated; method for detecting radiation readings by direct measurement at detector output (overranged detector);
