TMI-l CPERATING SU'C!ARY January 1978 Unit Performance The Unit operated at essentially 100% full power for the entire month except for the brief unplanned power reductica to 88% power on 01-07-78 due to a heatet drain pump seal failure and the planned power reduction to 50% power en 01-27-73 to conduct turbine stop valve testing and shift into an all-reds-out mode of operation.

The new comprehensive In-Service-Inspection program as required by 10 CFR 50.55a vent into effect this scnth requiring extensive operational testing of safety re-lated pumps and valves.

Sicnificant Pcver Reductions The Unit was reduced to about 88% power en 01-07-78 as a result of the seal failure en HD-F13.

Because ED-PlA was being overhauled when the "B" pump seal failed, only ED-Plc was available, resulting in the reduction of total feedvater flow to the steam generators. The overhaul of ED-PlA was cc=pleted and the Unit was returned to 100%

power within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />.

The Unit was reduced to about 50% power on 01-27-78 to conduct the turbine step valve testing. While at 50% power the Reactor Centrol Rods were withdrawn to an "All-Rods-Cut" configuration as part of the planned end of cycle mode of operation.

The Unit was returned to 100% power in 11 hours1.273148e-4 days <br />0.00306 hours <br />1.818783e-5 weeks <br />4.1855e-6 months <br />.

TMI-1 OPERATING SUICIARY January 1978 Unit Performance The Unit operated at essentially 100", full power for the entire month except for the brief unplanned power reduction to 885 power on 01-07-78 due to a heater drain pump seal failure and the planned power reduction to 50", power on 01-27-78 to conduct turbine stop valve testing and shift into an all-rods-cut mode of operation.
