North Anna uses the lockout / tagout process.  HP signs out on the master 
tagout for the incore system.  This prevents the system from being operated 
without our knowledge/consent.  In addition, we lock and post our under vessel 
area to prevent access


We do administratively control lock and prevent access to our under vessel area 
when retracting the guide thimbles, moving the incore detectors, or when the 
incore detectors are not in storage (in the core or storage well).

We do not normally lock our seal table room during refueling outages.

Subject: Powernet: Incore System Controls During Refuel Outages

Robinson has the following question for other PWRs:

How do you ensure that Incore detectors are not inadvertently operated during 
refueling outages while personnel are present in containment?

Is a clearance routinely taken out on your  Incore System at the beginning of a 
refueling outage?

Do you normally keep your seal table room locked during refuel outages?
