SUMMARY
OF OPERATING EXPERIENCE FOR PERIOD APRIL 1 THROUGH APRIL 30, 1978 4-1-78 4-5-78 4-7-78 4-8-78 4-12-78 0
The plant was in the refueling shutdown condition, with the 1978 outage in progress.
Completed filling and venting the Primary Coolant System.
The NRC issued Amendments 38 and 39 to the Palisades Provisional Operating License.
Amendment 38 modified Technical Specification testing requirements relating to the control rod drive position indication system, and Amendment 39 established a new operating allowance for steam generator tube degradation.
The Primary Coolant System was brought to operating temperature and pressure.
The NRC issued Amendment 40 to the Palisades Provisional Operating License.
This amendment modified the Limiting Conditions of Operation for the Iodine removal system.
o The reactor was brought to criticality.
(Initial criticality for Core III.)
Low power physics testing was commenced.
4-16-78 Low power physics testing was completed.
4-19-78 A reactor trip occurred.
The trip resulted from low steam generator water level.
The reactor was brought to criticality within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />.
4-20-78 The generator was put on line, ending the outage which commenced on January 6, 1978.
The outage lasted 2,498.6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />.
4-21-78 A reactor trip occurred because of a low steam generator water level.
The low level resulted from feedwater pump trip which was caused by a faulty vibration trip device.
During this outage, repairs were made to two CRDM's to resolve a position indication problem (reference LER 78-009), and to replace a faulty motor-gearbox-brake assembly (reference LER 78-010).
The reactor was made critical on the same day.
4-22-78 o
The generator was placed on line, ending an outage of 32.4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> duration.
o After power was raised to 50%, power was held in order to perform equilibrium Xenon physics testing.
4-27-78 Power escalation to 90% of full power was completed.
Reactor power was limited to 90% by axial power distribution limits.
During the escalation in power, operational testing of the full-flow condensate polishing system was in progress.
