SUMMARY

The Unit began the report period shut down in Mode 6 during its planned 15 th refueling outage.

The originally planned 37 day refueling outage was extended in order to allow for repair of minor surface cracks on four of 65 control rod drive mechanism. nozzles found during inspection of the reactor-vessel head and nozzles. -Following the-aboVe-repairs,-Mode-5-was entered at 0725 hour§ on'417/03.
