SUMMARY

The FitzPatrick plant - with the exception of minor derates for rod adjustments - operated at or near rated power during the month of March 2002 except for the following:

" March 2, 2002 - 0950 The plant commenced a load reduction to support scheduled activities, including control rod stroke timing and speed adjustments. Power was reduced to approximately 70% and the control rod manipulations began at 1055. Control rod timing was completed at 1345. Power ascension was commenced at 1553 with the plant reaching full power at 2210. The total duration of the load reduction was 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and 20 minutes.

" March 13, 2002 - 2040 The 'C' circulating water pump tripped offline. Power was initially reduced to 65% power then raised to 80%. Investigation and repairs to the

'C' circulating water pump motor were begun immediately. Repairs were completed and the 'C' circulating water pump was returned to service at 10:30 on March 15. The 'A' and 'B' circulating water pump motors were then inspected. All work was completed at 15:28 and power ascension began at 16:09, with the plant returning to full power at 02:52 on March

16. Including a minor control rod pattern adjustment completed early on March 16"h, the total duration of the load reduction was 2 days, 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />, and 12 minutes.

" March 21,2002 - 1651 During MG Set brush replacement, the 'B' Reactor Water Recirculation Pump tripped offline. Power was reduced to 40% to support single loop operation. The 'B' RWR pump was restarted 2306, recirc loop startup checks completed at 2308, and the 'B' RWR pump returned to service at 2316. Power ascension began at 23:35, and the plant reached 98% power at 500 on March 22. The plant was maintained at 98% power until 1918, when further power ascension began. The plant returned to full power at 2137. The total duration of this load reduction was 1 day, 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />, and 46 minutes.
