SUMMARY

The FitzPatrick plant operated at or near rated power for the duration of the month of September 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 />)

September 25, 2003 - 1740 While operating at 100% power the "B" reactor water recirculation (RWR) pump field breaker tripped resulting in reduced reactor coolant flow and reduction to approximately 60% power. Following repairs of the tach generator on the "B" RWR motor generator set, the plant returned to 100%

power on September 28, 2003 - 1710.
