Description
Wolf Creek Nuclear Operation Corporation (WCNOC) has recently completed a plant uprating program which is to take effect during cycle 7 (in November, 1993). In this program the major plant change was to increase the plant reactor power from 3411·106 Wt to 3565·106 Wt, a 4.5% increase. In addition, several other changes were made as a result of switching to VANTAGE 5H fuel with intermediate flow mixers. These included 1) a positive moderator temperature coefficient, 2) a decrease in thermal design flow, 3) an increase in main steam safety valve blowdown capacities, 4) a Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) re-analysis, 5) a FΔH/FQ increase, 6) a thimble plug removal, 7) an increase in allowable steam generator tube plugging, and 8) a core operating limit report.
