POWER AUTHORITY OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK JAMES A. FITZPATRICK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT DOCKET NO. 50-333 ATTACHMENT TO LER 79-083/03X-1 Page 1 of I During normal operation, operations personnel noted that a routine computer printout of the core performance log indicated that the Maximur.:

Fraction of Limi ting Power Densi ty (MFLPD) was 1.014 and 1.016 for two nodes compared to a Technical Specification limit of equal to or less than 1.000. Reactor power was immediately reduced approximately 3% in accordance with the requi rements of Technical Speci fication, Appendix A, Paragraph 4.1.B. This action restored MFLPD to wi thin the limits of Technical Specifications within the time frame allowed and is considered to be equivalent to operation in a degraded mode.

Following the initial power reduction, the control rod pattern was adjusted to reduce local power and power was returned to approximately 100%

of rated power three hours later.

The event did not represent any significant hazard to the public health and safety.

NOTE: Revision 1 of this LER is submitted to correct items 25 and 26 which were inadvertantly lef t blank on the original submittal.
