SUMMARY

The Unit began the report period operating at a nominal value of 100% output until 1606 hours0.0186 days <br />0.446 hours <br />0.00266 weeks <br />6.11083e-4 months <br /> on 3/29/02 when a load reduction to approximately 93% output was begun. The load reduction was being done in order to remove the "A"Main Feedwater Pump from service due to high motor outboard bearing temperatures exceeding operating limits. In parallel with the load reduction, additional ventilation had been put in place to aid in cooling the motor outboard bearing. The load reduction was halted at approximately 93% output at 1611 hours0.0186 days <br />0.448 hours <br />0.00266 weeks <br />6.129855e-4 months <br /> on 3/29/02, when motor outboard bearing temperatures decreased below operating limits. Once motor outboard bearing temperatures had stabilized at acceptable levels, the Unit increased output slightly to approximately 95% at 0504 hours0.00583 days <br />0.14 hours <br />8.333333e-4 weeks <br />1.91772e-4 months <br /> on 3/30/02 in order to counter Xenon burnout and to match Tavg/Tref. The Unit remained operating at approximately 95% output for the remainder of the report period in order to maintain reduced loading on the motor bearing until a power reduction to complete repairs could be started on 4/2/02.

SUMMARY

The report period began with the Unit operating at approximately 39% output while power ascension continued for fuel preconditioning following completion of the ninth refueling outage. Power ascension was halted at approximately 70% output at 1230 hours0.0142 days <br />0.342 hours <br />0.00203 weeks <br />4.68015e-4 months <br /> on 3/1/02 to verify Technical Specification power distribution limits. Following completion of a flux map at approximately 70%

output, the Unit commenced to increase power at 1001 hours0.0116 days <br />0.278 hours <br />0.00166 weeks <br />3.808805e-4 months <br /> on 3/3/02 for fuel preconditioning.
