SUMMARY
The unit operated at 100% Rated Thermal Power (RTP) for all but thirteen hours this month. It reduced power to 97% RTP to facilitate calibration of a Reactor Protection Temperature Channel. This yielded an availability factor of 100% and a capacity factor of 100.3% based on the MDC value of 1155.3 Net MWe.
UNIT SHUTDOWNS AND POWER REDUCTIONS DOCKET NO.

DOWN REACTOR 3 COMMENTS 01-13 12/26/01 F
0.0 B/F 5
Reduced power to 97% RTP to complete a calibration on Loop 1 Reactor Protection Temperature channel. Operations procedures required a 2% RTP power reduction with Loops 1, 3 or 4 temperature channels in a tripped condition. This action provides margin against an inadvertent OPAT/OTAT reactor trip due to the Upper Plenum Flow Anomaly. Unit returned to full power operation the following day.
