Southern Nuclear Co. in collaboration with GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy deployed a first-of-a-kind application of the GEH TRACG-AOO High Worth SCRAM Rods (HWSR) flexibility option at the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Power Plant. This option leverages the existing NRC-approved GEH TRACG-AOO methodology for plant operating limit development with credit for the mitigating impacts of partially inserted control rods (i.e., the HWSRs). The successful implementation of the HWSR flexibility option at Hatch enabled enhanced reactor safety, provided operational flexibility and provided for reduced fuel costs by reducing the number of fresh assemblies installed in recurring reload batches.
