SUMMARY

The FitzPatrick plant operated at or near rated power for the duration of the month of March 2003 with the exception of the following:

Note: This list does not include minor derates for rod pattern adjustments. (<20% reduction in average power level for the preceding 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />)

  • March 5, 2003 - 1318 Commenced scheduled down power to remove "B" Reactor Feed Pump from service to perform pump seal replacement and to perform a control rod sequence exchange. For this evolution, reactor power was reduced to approximately 55% on March 5, 2003 - 1425 hours0.0165 days <br />0.396 hours <br />0.00236 weeks <br />5.422125e-4 months <br />.
  • March 9, 2003 - 0200 Reactor power was maintained at approximately 55% power until March 9, 2003 at 0200 hours0.00231 days <br />0.0556 hours <br />3.306878e-4 weeks <br />7.61e-5 months <br /> when reactor power was raised following repair of

. I the pump seal. Reactor was returned to full power on March 9, 2003 -

1050 hours0.0122 days <br />0.292 hours <br />0.00174 weeks <br />3.99525e-4 months <br />.

  • March 13,2003-0410 Reactor power was reduced to approximately 82% power for a rod pattern adjustment.
  • March 19, 2003 - 0803 Commenced forced shutdown to repair a steam leak in the feedwater system. The plant staff executed the existing forced outage schedule, performed maintenance on valves, replaced the 'A' RFP outboard seal, and added balancing weights to reduce vibration of "B" RFP Turbine. For this evolution, the reactor mode switch was taken to SHUTDOWN on March 20, 2003 -0718 hours.
  • March 24, 2003- 1247 Commenced reactor start-up. On March 25, 2003 - 0054 the "B" Reactor Feed Pump Turbine experienced high vibration while increasing speed.

Reduced power to repair vibration issue.

  • March 25,2003-1508 Commenced reactor shutdown to repair high vibration of "B" Reactor Feed Pump Turbine. Mode Switch in SHUTDOWN position on March 25, 2003 - 1935 hours0.0224 days <br />0.538 hours <br />0.0032 weeks <br />7.362675e-4 months <br />.
  • March 26, 2003 - 0113 Placed mode switch in STARTUP. Commenced reactor start-up. While commencing Main Turbine roll at approximately 20% reactor power the Turbine Intercept Valve failed to open. Remained at approximately 20%

power until the valve was repaired. Commenced Main Turbine roll on March 27, 2003 - 0515. Reactor was returned to full power on March 27, 2003 - 2353 hours0.0272 days <br />0.654 hours <br />0.00389 weeks <br />8.953165e-4 months <br />
