What are the effects on operating temperatures and pressures, emergency core cooling system pumps, etc.?
In evaluating a power uprate request, the NRC reviews information submitted by the licensee to confirm that the plant can operate safely at the higher power level. The information reviewed includes changes in operating parameters (e.g., temperature, pressure) to confirm that the applicable structures, systems, and components (e.g., emergency core cooling pumps) will continue to perform their intended safety functions.
