Following completion of a flux map, the Unit began to reduce output at 2140 hours0.0248 days <br />0.594 hours <br />0.00354 weeks <br />8.1427e-4 months <br /> on 10/14/03 from approximately 65% to 30% in order to repair a leaking seal vent line connection on both the "A" and "B" Heater Drain Pumps. During the power reduction, an automatic reactor trip occurred at 2356 hours0.0273 days <br />0.654 hours <br />0.0039 weeks <br />8.96458e-4 months <br /> on 10/14/03 while at approximately 39% output due to low level in the 'B" Steam Generator. The Unit was subsequently stabilized in Mode 3. The low level in the "B" Steam Generator was caused by failure of a multiplier/divider card in the 1B" feedwater flow control loop. Upon replacement of the card and evaluation of the trip, the Unit began to startup, entering Mode 2 at 2343 hours0.0271 days <br />0.651 hours <br />0.00387 weeks <br />8.915115e-4 months <br />

Repair of the seal leak on the MB" main Feedwater Pump and repair of the leaking seal vent line connections on both the 'A" and "B" Heater Drain Pumps were verified completed, however, output could not be raised beyond 30% until chemistry conditions in the Steam Generators were within operating specifications.

Once chemistry conditions in all three Steam Generators were within specifications, power ascension to the 90% power plateau was begun at I 143 hours0.00166 days <br />0.0397 hours <br />2.364418e-4 weeks <br />5.44115e-5 months <br /> on 10/16/03.
