SUMMARY
OF OPERATING EXPERIENCE August 2002 The Indian Point Unit No. 3 Nuclear Power Plant was synchronized to the bus for a total of 744 hours0.00861 days <br />0.207 hours <br />0.00123 weeks <br />2.83092e-4 months <br />, producing a gross electrical energy generation of 741,393 MWH.
On August 30, at 0142 hours0.00164 days <br />0.0394 hours <br />2.347884e-4 weeks <br />5.4031e-5 months <br />, the unit experienced a turbine runback. This was due to PR NI 43 falsely indicating a dropped rod. The unit was stabilized at 75% reactor power. Following successful replacement and testing of PR NI 43, a load escalation to 90% reactor power commenced on August 31, at 0410 hours0.00475 days <br />0.114 hours <br />6.779101e-4 weeks <br />1.56005e-4 months <br />. This was done to support the performance of surveillance test 3PT-Q107, "Main Turbine Stop and Control Valve Exercise and Vibration Monitoring Test." Following successful completion of this test, a load escalation commenced at 1316 hours0.0152 days <br />0.366 hours <br />0.00218 weeks <br />5.00738e-4 months <br />, and the unit achieved full load at 1530 hours0.0177 days <br />0.425 hours <br />0.00253 weeks <br />5.82165e-4 months <br />.
