Appendix J Program Effiecency Review
LLRT Program Review by Graftel
PRIMARY CONTAINMENT TESTING PROGRAM EFFICIENCY REVIEW
Graftel is offering a service to review which components need to be tested, how they are tested and the acceptance criterion used to determine the acceptance criterion both on an As Left and on a performance basis.
Due to recent initiatives and changes in interpretations, most plants now perform more Appendix J tests than are required. In addition, acceptance criterions that are more stringent than needed are used. This review focuses on the elimination of unneeded Type B and C tests and the relaxation of the acceptance criterion when appropriate.
Both outage time and dose may be reduced. This allows the site to focus critical resources on needed activities.
By reviewing your existing program, Graftel can provide a detailed technical and regulatory basis on a case by case basis for reducing unneeded testing. In most cases, these are not changes requiring relief from code or any exemption from federal regulations. A site safety review and procedure change is all that is needed to begin immediate implementation.
