SUMMARY
The unit operated at 100% Rated Thermal Power (RTP) except for eight hours this month. Power was reduced to 97.5% RTP to facilitate testing on a Reactor Protection Temperature Channel. This yielded an availability factor of 100% and a capacity factor of 100.2% based on the MDC value of 1155.3 Net MWe.

DOWN REACTOR COMMENTS 02-01 03/2/02 S
0.0 B/F 5
Reduced power to 97.5% RTP to complete a response time testing calibration on Loop 3 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 same day.
