OPERATIONS SUtHARY [ JANUARY 1990 i It was previously reported that the plant was in a slow power reduction since December 15th, coasting down for the BR refueling outage. The plant was operated at reduced power until approximately 2200 hours on January 5th, when 1 the main generator was taken off line and the BR outage comenced. Refueling of the reactor commenced on January 26, 1990 with control rod shuffle and continued into February. MAJOR SAFETY RELATED MAINTENANCE During January, the following major safety related maintenance activities were performed: Integrated Leak Rate Testing (ILRT) With the plant in cold shutdown, preparations for the Integrated Leak Rate Test were performed. The preparation activities included calibration and installation of test instruments, inspection and test of the six air compressors to be used to pressurize the Reactor Building, and performance of local leak rate testing of the Reactor Building purge valves (AH-V-1A/B/C/D). Repairs were required for AH-V-1C to eliminate a gasket leak before satisfactory local leak rate test results were obtained for the valve. Bonnet leaks on'four Feedwater valves (FW-V-55A, 80A, 81A, and 82B) were sealed by injection of Furmanite compound. The Leak Rate system was aligned for pressurization on completion of the preparations and the Reactor Building pressurized to 50.6 psi. After a four hour stabilization period, the first twenty-four hour test was begun. This initial-ILRT was declared invalid due to leakage into the OTSGs. Several valves on the secondary plant outside of the ILRT valve lineup were found to be open and were closed. No significant leakage was identified as a result of inspection of the containment isolation valves and boundaries. Unstable Reactor Building temperature conditions caused a second ILRT to be declared invalid at approximately the ten hour mark. A third test was started after securing the Reactor Building Industrial Cooler system. This third ILRT and a six hour superimposed test were completed and their results declared satisfactory. The Reactor Building was depressurized and systems returned to normal. Fuel Handling Systems Repair and modification to the Fuel Handing equipment was performed in preparation for its use in fuel handling activities. Maintenance and repairs included repairing the telescopic cylinder down light and hose replacement on the control rod-mast of the spent fuel bridge, replacing a ten amp breaker on the Reactor Building auxiliary bridge, and replacing hoses with stainless steel tubing on the Reactor Building upenders. The modification involved installation of pointers to aid the operators in positioning both the Spent Fuel Pool and Reactor Building Fuel Transfer Canal fuel upenders to ensure a full vertical position. Divers installed the pointers on the Fuel-Pool fuel upenders.

E I I l Reactor Vessel (RC-T-1) In preparation for refueling the reactor vessel, the following work items were accomplished. The reactor head micsile shields were removed and the Fuel Transfer Canal stairway installed. The reactor vessel head insulation was removed and the RV studs detensioned. The RV studs were parked and the guide j studs installed. A modification to install permanent reactor vessel head lifting pendants was started with the attachment of the pendants to support head lift. The remainder of the modification work will be completed with the head on the head stand. The Reactor Coolant Inventory Tracking system lines were disconnected and the head fans removed. The "A" to "B" cables, "P!" tube l cables and thermocouple cables were disconnected from the head and all CRDM position indicators were then removed. The CRDM cooling water lines were disconnected and the APSR/CRDMs were uncoupled and the lead screws parked. The flood line cover plate and the fuel transfer tube flanges were removed. The head was removed from the vessel and transferred to the head stand. The indexing fixture was installed and the plenum removed from the vecsel and stored in the deep end of the canal. The stud holes were sealed and the vessel i seal plate installed and sealed. The reactor dosimetry was replaced and the "NI" cover plate reinstalled and sealed. The reactor vessel internal vent valves were exercised and the vessel incore detectors parked. And finally the fuel canal was flooded in preparation for fuel movement. Control Rod Drive Mechanisms (CRDM) During preparations for lifting and moving the reactor vessel head, leakage from several of the CRDM nozzle flanges was identified. After investigation, fourteen leaking CRDMs were repaired. The stators from the leaking CRDMs were removed while the head was on the head stand. A shielded platform was constructed at the head to facilitate removal of the CRDM hold down bolts. The CRDM motor tubes were removed to a vertical storage rack. Drilling of the CRDM split nut rings and additional repair work will continue into February. Once Through Steam Generators (RC-H-1A/B) Once Through Steam Gerrator (OTSG) work completed in January included opening of the upper primary m9nways and handboles on both "A" and "B" OTSGs and ventilating both units through the handholes. Bubble test rigs were installed and the bubble tests performed. Though two tubes were rolled as a result of the bubble tests in the "A" OTSG, the tests were deemed inconclusive and the OTSGs drained. The lower primary mant:ays were removed in preparation for Installation of the Cold 1.eg Dams. Main Steam Safety Valves The Main Steam Safety Valve work performed during January resulted in seven valves being repaired. The following is a summary of that work:

1. MS-V-17B, MS-V-17D, and MS-V-20D had seats lapped,

2. MS-V-20B, MS-V-21A, and MS-V-21B had discs replaced and seats lapped,

3. and MS-V-18A had the disc and stem replaced and seats lapped The valves were reassembled and prepared for testing when the plant achieves a hot shutdown condition.
