All the commissioning tests should be conducted as per approved procedures
adhering to safety requirementsas stipulated by AERB/ACPSR.Following completion
of tests, Site should submit report on plant performance and results of
commissioning tests conducted at 90%FP.After review and concurrenceof the same
by AGPSR, reactor power of KK NPP #1 can be raised upto 100% FP for a limited
duration of time to conduct tests as per commissioning programmefor Phase C3 at
100%FP.
Subsequent to completion of tests at 100% FP, reactor power should be
u
brought down to 90% FP and stabilized.Stable operation at 90%FPfor at least 7 days
shall be demonstratedand reports should be submitted. After satisfactorycompletion
of above activities, Site shall submit Application for raising reactor power upto 100%
FP for sustained operation and only after satisfactory review by AGPSR and
Glearanceby AERB, subsequent raising reactor power upto 100% FP can be taken
up.
This Clearanceis valid upto June 15,2014.
