Full Load Rejection Procedure for Point Lepreau GS

Abstract

In 1999 WANO issued Significant Operating Event Report 99-01 recommending that the industry verify whether or not currently approved procedures were adequate for a loss or degradation of the electrical grid. A detailed review identified that the procedures available at the time were not adequate to respond effectively to such a disturbance. Operations personnel reviewed operating expectations and the expected plant response to a Loss of Grid and updated the Operating Manual to cover “Full Load Rejection”. Operations used the simulators to validate the procedure and train crews and Licensed staff. The revised documentation was approved and implemented.
