SUMMARY

The FitzPatrick plant - with the exception of minor derates for rod adjustments - operated at or near rated power during the month of May 2002 except for the following:

" May6,2002 -1901 The plant commenced a load reduction to 75% power to support removing the A2 condenser waterbox from service in order to stop circulating water in-leakage into the condenser hotwell resulting from a condenser tube leak.

Waterbox entries were made and the leaking tube and peripheral tubes were plugged. The waterbox was refilled and placed in service at 1921 on May 7, 2002. Power ascension was begun at 2041 and the unit returned to full power at 0908 on May 8, 2002. The total duration of the load drop was 3 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> and 7 minutes.

" May16,2002 - 0414 The plant commenced a load reduction to 65% power to support removing the A2 condenser waterbox from service in order to stop circulating water in-leakage into the condenser hotwell resulting from a condenser tube leak.

A control rod sequence exchange was also performed during this load drop. The A2 waterbox was removed from service at 0510. Control rod exercising activities began at 0906 and were completed at 1014.

Waterbox entries were made, and the leaking tube and peripheral tubes were plugged. This activity took roughly 16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br />. Power was then increased to 75% at 0016 on May 17, 2002. The A2 waterbox was refilled and placed in service at 0030. The BI and B2 waterboxes were then de fished, with de-fishing activities completing at 0430. Power ascension was begun at 0548 and the unit returned to full power at 1500. The total duration of the load drop was 34 hours3.935185e-4 days <br />0.00944 hours <br />5.621693e-5 weeks <br />1.2937e-5 months <br /> and 46 minutes.
