Braidwood Station Action Items Pendina Action Items Problem Recommended Solution Raw-none-date Exelon was notified of problem or date of Monthly Report where problem was first reported 2. Equipment Maintenance at Braidwood A regular scheduled visit to inspect the equipment was made on the 140 of March. The Routine Site Visitation Log, a record of existing onsite conditions, was completed during the visiL A copy of this log is included in this report On the 14th, a calibration of the meteorological tower was performed.
A copy of the log is included in this report.On the 28h, 2 wind direction sensors were repaired, calibrated and given new bearings.On the 29', the 34 ft. wind direction sensor was replaced due to high readings.No other problems were encountered with the equipment during March, and at the end of the month, no problems were evident at the site.Murray & Trettel, Inc. 600 Rat Bank Dq, SuitkA Paladag linois 60067 (847) 963-9000 3.

The Microtel was routinely interrogated to obtain hourly average data of wind speed, wind direction, ambient temperature, differential temperature, and dew point temperature.
Wind sigma (standard deviation of wind direction) and precipitation data were also obtained.
Missing Microtel values were replaced with recorder data, when available.
A professional meteorologist then reviewed the data, calibration findings, maintenance reports, computerized quality control checks, and other information and determined which data were valid. Only valid data were retained in the data base.6. ComDuter Processina Computer programs were run to generate summary tables of the hourly averages of the meteorological data as well as other statistics based on the monthly data record.A table of means and extremes of the measurements recorded during the month is included in this report. Wind direction shears (variance of wind direction between levels) are also included in the table. Relative humidity was calculated using ambient and dew point temperature measurements.
- 7. Annual Report Preparation Joint frequency stability wind rose tables of hourly data are generated quarterly and will be included in the annual report. These tables indicate the prevailing wind direction, wind speed, and stability classes measured during the period of observation as well as the joint frequencies of occurrence of the wind direction, wind speed, and stability classes.Murray & Trettel, Inc. 600 Fm B=k Drve, Site A Palaan, lne ,is 60067 (847)963.9000 Braidwood Generating Station March 2012 Niss Valid Mean Max Min Hrs Hrs Parameter 3 Re 54.3 84.6 21.0 40.7 63.9 8.1 61.4 100.0 26.7 9.3 29.2 Calm 15.6 42.8 3.0-0.5 5.6 -2.3-1.2 36.0 -111. 0 3 741 3 741 3 741 34Ft W 203Ft -W 3 3 741 741 199Ft -.ýy 203 -34 FT Dire 3 741 11 733 34Ft Sigma Theta (deg)203Ft Sigma Theta (deg)3 FT Precipitation IN Monthly Total ....Max 24 Hour Total Max 1 Hour Total .16.3 48.0 6.0 10.2 49.0 1.0 4 3 740 741 1 743 1.31 0.31 0.18 There were 744 hours0.00861 days <br />0.207 hours <br />0.00123 weeks <br />2.83092e-4 months <br /> in March Table prepared on 5/ 1/2012 at 10:25 Braidwood Station Differential Temperature Distribution (degC/100m) 3/2012 199-30 ft-7.5-7.0-6.5-6.0-5.5-5.0-4.5-4.0-3.5-3.0-2.5-2.0-1.5-1.0-0.5 0.0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 4.5 5.0 5.5 6.0 6.5 7.0 7.5 GE GE GE GE GE GE GE GE GE GE GE GE GE GE GE GE GE GE GE GE GE GE GE GE GE GE GE GE GE GE GE DT DT DT DT DT DT DT DT DT DT DT DT DT DT DT DT DT DT DT DT DT DT DT DT DT DT DT DT DT DT DT DT LT LT LT LT LT LT LT LT LT LT LT LT LT LT LT LT LT LT LT LT LT LT LT LT LT LT LT LT LT LT LT-7.5-7.0-6.5-6.0 *o-5.5-5.0--4.5-4.0-3.5-3.0-2.5-2.0-1.5-1.0-0.5 Q.0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 4.5 5.0 5.5 6.0 6.5 7.0 7.5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 30 90 117 185 138 80 25 32 15 10 3 4 4 3 2 2 0 1 0 0 0 NRC Stability Classes Unstable Neutral Stable TOTAL NO.
