Overspeed testing is scheduled for today, January 15. The licensee will also perform work on #2 Auxiliary Feedwater pump to preclude a similar leakage problem developing on that pump. Work on both pumps is scheduled to be completed on January 17, 2004.
Following completion of the auxiliary feedwater pump work, the licensee intends to return to Mode 3 and heatup to normal operating temperature and pressure. Plant management will resume its observation and assessment of plant operations before requesting that the NRC schedule the followup restart readiness inspection.
Repair and testing continues on a small steam leak on a body-to-bonnet seal weld on valve RC1AB, the reactor coolant system loop 2 hot leg flow transmitter source valve.
