Oconee unit 2 began the month of October operating at approximately 98.5% power coasting down to end-of-cycle 19 refueling outage. The unit continued its coastdown until 10/11/02 at 2100 when the unit decreased to 15% power and held on 10/12/02 at 0046 to 0100 to perform the turbine overspeed trip test and begin end-of-cycle 19 refueling outage. The unit was in the end-of-cycle 19 refueling outage the remainder of the month.
