SAVANNAH NUCLEAR POWER - SUMMARY TEST REPORT, PHASES 1 AND 2

Prefueling test program on the N.S. Savannah nuclear power plant demonstrated that the performance of the reactor system and auxiliaries was in conformance with design specifications, and demonstrated the capability of the crew to operate and maintain the power plant. The equipment in the reactor and auxiliary systems was tested as individual components, complete systems, and as a whole plant during the dummy run. Basic tests for the pressure components, electrical continuity tests, calibration of system instrumentation, and functional checks on limit switches, alarm points, controls, safety devices, and interlocks were performed.
