Enclosed is the monthly operating report for Peach Bottom Units 2 and 3 for the month of November 2002 forwarded pursuant to Technical Specification 5.6.4 under the guidance of Regulatory Guide 10.1, Revision 4.
Sincerely, Edwin J. Eilola Jr.
Director, Site Engineering Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station EJE/NPAICSL:cmg clsures cc:

Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Unit 2 November 1 through November 30, 2002 Narrative Summary of Operating Experiences Unit 2 began the month of November at 100% power.
At 0118, on November 2l't, Unit 2 reduced power to 97%, for planned turbine control valve testing.
The Unit returned to 100% power by 0214 on November 21st.
At 1015 on November 23rd, Unit 2 reduced power to 93% for planned activities in support of the Appendix K uprate. Following completion of the necessary activities, the Unit returned to 100%
power by 1332 on November 2 4th. From this point forward, unless otherwise mentioned, full power for Unit 2 changes from 3458 MWth to 3514 MWth, as a result of the Appendix K uprate.
Unit 2 ended the month of November at 100% power.
Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Unit 3 November 1 through November 30, 2002 Narrative Summary of Operating Experiences Unit 3 began the month of November at 100% power.
At 0131, on November 4th, Unit 3 experienced an unplanned power reduction to 69%, in response to a load iunback signal initiated when the 3B RFPT tripped. The RFPT tripped due to the failure of the SV-13 solenoid valve during testing. The Unit returned to 100% power by 1847 on November 41h.
Unit 3 ended the month of November at 100% power.
