SUMMARY

OF OPERATING EXPERIENCE FOR AUGUST 2002 The plant operated at essentially full power (at greater than 99%) until August 26, when power was reduced to about 87% for repairs to the "B" Heater Drain Pump (P-103B). Power was further reduced to about 50% on August 27 to allow an oil addition to the "D" Primary Coolant Pump (P-50D). After the oil addition, power was increased to about the 88% power level on August 28, where power was held pending repair to Heater Drain Pump P-10B. These repairs were completed on August 29, and power was restored to essentially full power on August 30. The plant completed the month at essentially full power.
