SUMMARY

OF OPERATING EXPERIENCE DATE 2-1-2 TELEPHONE 763/295-1006 JAN 01-01-02 to 01-11-02 01-11-02 to 01-12-02 01-12-02 to 01-21-02 01-21-02 to 01-27-02 01-27-02 to 01-29-02 01-29-02 to 01-31-02 Power operation.

Power reduction to 65% to perform Maximum Core Flow/Prompt Flow Control Line Determination test, investigate Main Condenser air in-leakage and to adjust control rods and precondition fuel.

Power operation.

Reactor shutdown following scram.

Failure of the Pressure Control System caused a load reject signal.

The return to power was delayed by the failure of MO-2076, RCIC Steam Line Isolation Outboard, during startup, and subsequent repair.

Reduced power operations during startup for scram recovery.

Power operation.

Note: Power operation defined as essentially 100% of rated power except for weekend load drops for specified surveillance testing.
