SUMMARY

OF OPERATING EXPERIENCE FOR MARCH 1992 The p1ant began the month shutdown for refue 1i ng. The reactor went crit i ca 1 for the first time in Cycle 10 on April 14 at 0736 hours0.00852 days <br />0.204 hours <br />0.00122 weeks <br />2.80048e-4 months <br /> and was placed online April 18 at 1118 hours0.0129 days <br />0.311 hours <br />0.00185 weeks <br />4.25399e-4 months <br />. The unit was taken offline April 18 at 2218 hours0.0257 days <br />0.616 hours <br />0.00367 weeks <br />8.43949e-4 months <br /> for turbine overspeed trip testing and to repair an airline leak on an MSIV. The unit was returned online April 19 at 0554 hours0.00641 days <br />0.154 hours <br />9.160053e-4 weeks <br />2.10797e-4 months <br /> and proceeded with testing of the new turbine control system.
