o Operatiens Summary April, 1981 The f ' lowing summary describes the significant operational activities for the.

.h of April.

In suppcrt of this summary, a chronological log of significan, events is included in this report.

There were nineteen Licensee Event Reports and no Special Reports during April.

There were two scrams during April.

l Unit I was critical for 576.7 hours8.101852e-5 days <br />0.00194 hours <br />1.157407e-5 weeks <br />2.6635e-6 months <br />, produced 633,923 MWH (gross) with 4.32 percent station use, resulting in an average hourly gross load of 1,102,187 KW during the month. The net heat rate for the month was 10,620 BTU /KWH.

There are 308.87 full power days estimated remaining until the end of cycle 1 fuel. With a capacity factor of 85 percent the target EOC exposure would be reached April 28, 1982. The capacity factor for the month was 73.5 percent.

Unit I was in mode 1 at 96% reactor power, generating 1086 MW(e) at the beginning of April, 1981. The unit operated between 95% ta 100% reactor power until 0715 Hrs, April 12, when the load was reduced for the Turbine Benchmark Test (STEAR-25). Reactor power was reduced to 63% to inhibit governor valve numbers 2 and 3.

Reactor power was then increased and main-tained at 78% for STEAR-25. At 1936 Hrs, April 12, governor valve numbers 2 and 3 were re-opened and reactor power was increased to 100%. The unit remained between 99%-100% reactor power until 0950 Hrs, April 23, when l

Start-Up Test 9.1, 10% load swing began. Start-Up Test 9.1 was completed at 1029 Hrs, April 23, and reactor power was increased to 100%. At 2240 Hrs, April 23, Start-Up Test 9.3 - 50% load rejection began. At 2242 Hrs, April 23, the reactor tripped (reactor trip #13) as a result of a low low l

steam generator level (#1) when two of the condensate booster pumps tripped during the 50% load rejection test. At 2341 Hrs, April 23, there was a safety injection caused by high steam flow with low Tavg indications. The unit was cooled down to the low end of mode 4 for required uaintenance. At 2042 Hrs, April 29, the reactor was taken critical and 100% reactor power was obtained at 1932 Hrs, April 30.

At 2241 Hrs, April 30, the reactor scramed as a result of a manual turbine trip as required by Start-Up Test i

9.4A.

At 2400 Hrs, April 30, the reactor was in mode 3.

PORV's and Safety Valves Summary Fo pressure operated relief safety valves were challenged during the month.

Changes to the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual There were no changes to the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual this month.
