INTRODUCTION The reactor operated continuously in July with the following exceptions: six shutdowns for scheduled maintenance and refueling; one unscheduled shutdown. Received notification from the NRC that two new Reactor Operator licenses had been issued.
MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES 7/1/02 Refueled - removed core 02-31, loaded core 02-32.
7/3/02 Refueled - removed core 02-32, loaded core 02-33.
Replaced Anti-Siphon Valve 543B air actuator.
7/8/02 Refueled - removed core 02-33, loaded core 02-34.
7/15/02 Refueled - removed core 02-34, loaded core 02-35.
Re-installed keeper pin in the northwest Pressure Vessel tie-rod support.
7/16/02 Replaced control transformer for P501A (primary system pump) control circuit.
7/22/02 Refueled - removed core 02-35, loaded core 02-36.
7/25/02 Refueled - removed core 02-36, loaded core 02-37.
Refueled - removed core 02-37, loaded core 02-38.

UNSCHEDULED SHUTDOWNS Date No.
Type Cause 7/25/02 1143 Scram PT-917 (reflector low AP)
On July 25, a Reactor Scram was initiated automatically by PT-917 (reflector low AP) when the differential pressure across the reflector momentarily dropped below the Scram setpoint. This setpoint had been changed on July 22 during the performance of CP-5. It was determined that during the performance of CP-5 on July 22 there was air in the lines from the pressure test unit causing the setpoint to be changed. This change was in the conservative direction and placed the setpoint within close proximity of actual operating differential pressure. CP-5 was performed again after flushing the test lines and the setpoint was reset to allow for normal operating pressure transients without inadvertently actuating the protective function of PT-917.
