POINT CALL CHECK.
In certain conditions the session host might choose to enforce the point call check procedure.
This procedure entails a standardized way to communicate instructions across to operators with
minimization of operator error risk. The procedure goes as follows: The shift supervisor asks an
operator to perform a certain manipulation, the respective operator reads back the instruction exactly
as the shift supervisor has requested it also clearly stating that the operator understands the action
he needs to perform, if the readback is correct and the shift supervisor is satisfied the operator
understands what action he is expected to perform he will call out: Check, this is the signal to the
operator he has correctly understood and read back the action he is to perform and gives him the
permission to execute it. An example of this procedure will be stated below for better understanding.

• [OPERATOR NAME] [please perform/Please] [State action]

• [OPERATOR STATES PANEL] preform [State action]
• [If readback was correct] Check
• Operator performs action

• Tony, please establish condenser vacuum using SJAE #1

• Tony: Establish condenser vacuum using SJAE #1
• Check.
• Tony establishes condenser vacuum using SJAE #1
• Upon completion: Tony: Condenser vacuum established using SJAE #1

wait until this operation is complete before continuing.

➢ Core temperature balancing selector → Average
➢ Operation selector → SRM
➢ Mode selector → Start
2 Control rod speed selector → Fast
3 Withdraw control rods according to pull order.
CAUTION: when pulling maintain period longer then 30s.
at 30s a short period alarm will sound followed by a short period trip at 20s
4 Maintain SRM probe depth slightly above average rod position
5 When period shortening becomes faster and period lengthening becomes
slower: Rod speed → Decrease
6 When IRM indication above red band:
Operation selector → IRM
7 Observe IRM indication:
when reading approaches blue band → Scale up
8 When ARPM reading 10%:
Auto control setp. → 10%
Reactor mode → Run
Auto control → On
9 Check system steam, feedwater and condensate system pressures and flows
Observe Deaerator RPV and hot well level still in range and stable.

4 Turning gear → Off
When the turbine has stopped: Turning gear → Disengage
5 Turbine valve → Open
