Description of Occurrence:

,t At 1700 hours0.0197 days <br />0.472 hours <br />0.00281 weeks <br />6.4685e-4 months <br /> on July 14, 1976,. it was identified that the Reactor Power Level cutoff was exceeded at approximately 2030 hours0.0235 days <br />0.564 hours <br />0.00336 weeks <br />7.72415e-4 months <br /> on July 13, 1976, without proper: xenon reactivity worth (xenon worth was not within 10%.of

,l full power equilibrium value by 0.09% AK/K and power IcVel was increased approximately 50 minutes carly).

The reactor power had been reduced from 99% power commencing at 1530 hours0.0177 days <br />0.425 hours <br />0.00253 weeks <br />5.82165e-4 months <br /> on July 13, 1976, to 57% to remove "B" Main Feed Pump from service to repair a lube oil leak. Power was held at 57% until 1930 hours0.0223 days <br />0.536 hours <br />0.00319 weeks <br />7.34365e-4 months <br /> j

following repairs to Feed Pump, at which time power was. increased. At

.approximately 2030 hours0.0235 days <br />0.564 hours <br />0.00336 weeks <br />7.72415e-4 months <br /> power was taken above 82.5%.

Analysis of Occurronec:

There was no reactor core safety significance associated with.this occur-j rence.

Reactor Coolant Iodine samples were within normal range on i

7/14/76 and 7/15/76.

Due to the small amount of xenon worth involved (0.09% AK/K)', this incident did not affect the health and safety of the

public, i
