Are reactor containment entries permitted, either inside or outside the bioshield, during reactor power increases, e.g., power ascension after a refuel outage? No, Operations procedure requires "steady state Rx Power level" for Containment entry. What controls are in place to control incore detector operation/movement during reactor containment entries while at power? RP keeps breaker (that provides power to the Incore detector control panel) locked open at all times except when detector manipulations are required. Is a representative of Operations required to attend pre-entry briefings for reactor containment entries at power? Only when Operations is making the entry. John T.
