H - Other Summarv Of Monthly Operating Experience Unit 4 operated at essentially 100% power until March 22, 2005, when the 4A Steam Generator Feed Pump (SGFP) tripped, initiating a Turbine Runback. Operations manually tripped the reactor based on steam generator low level criteria in accordance with station procedures. Unit 4 was restarted and went critical March 23, 2005. However, as the unit was ascending in power, an oil leak from the 4B SGFP lube oil pump piping warranted the need to reduce power to about 20% and then performed a manual shutdown. Once the oil leak was repaired, the unit was restarted on March 24, 2005 reaching approximately 60% power. The unit remained at approximately 60% power through the end of the month.
