SUMMARY

OF OPERATING EXPERIENCES f

Hiahliahts i

Vermont Yankee operated at 99.5% of rated thermal power for the month.

Gross electrical generation was 408,180 MWHe or 100.5% design electrical capacity.

Ooeratina Summary The following is a chronological description of plant operations including other pertinent items of interest for the month:

At the beginning of the reporting period the plant was operating at 99.9%

of rated thermal power.

960326 A,t 1140 hours0.0132 days <br />0.317 hours <br />0.00188 weeks <br />4.3377e-4 months <br />, recirculation pump "B" tripped, due_to loss of Bus

1. 7.

Trip caused by failing to defeat protective circuitry during calibration of T-7 ammeter.

"A" recirculation pump reduced to 70%.

(See Unit Shutdowns and Power Reductions) j 960326 At 1150 hours0.0133 days <br />0.319 hours <br />0.0019 weeks <br />4.37575e-4 months <br />, reducing power by inserting rods in reverse sequence, to exit stability region.

960326 At 1217 hours0.0141 days <br />0.338 hours <br />0.00201 weeks <br />4.630685e-4 months <br />, exited stability region, stopped rod insertions.

960326 At 1240 hours0.0144 days <br />0.344 hours <br />0.00205 weeks <br />4.7182e-4 months <br />, inserting rods to 35% power in preparation for "B" recirculation pump restart.

960326 At 1356 hours0.0157 days <br />0.377 hours <br />0.00224 weeks <br />5.15958e-4 months <br />, started "B" recirculation pump, and began a return to full power.

At the end of the reporting period the plant was operating at 99.9% of rated thermal power.
