1 END-OF-CYCLE 13 REFUELING OUTAGE Summary:

Catawba unit 1 began the month of April operating at approximately 100% power until 04/09/02 at 1620 when the unit began decreasing power per phase 2 of T-AVG coastdown to end-of-cycle 13 refueling. On 04/23/02 at 2028 the unit decreased power and held at 88% power from 04/24/02 at 0945 to 1709 due to main steam safety valve testing. The unit increase power and held at 95% power from 04/25/02 at 0450 to 1500 to resume phase 2 of T-AVG coastdown to end-of-cycle 13 refueling outage. On 04/26/02 at 1602 the unit began decreasing power and the unit was taken off-line 04/27/02 at 0049 to begin end-of-cycle 13 refueling outage. The unit was in the end-of-cycle 13 refueling outage the remainder of the month.
