OPERATIONAL

SUMMARY

FOR NOVEMBER 1993 The unit started the reporting period at 100 percent core thermal power (CTP). This power level was essentially maintained until November 5, 1993, when at 0554 hours0.00641 days <br />0.154 hours <br />9.160053e-4 weeks <br />2.10797e-4 months <br /> the main turbine was manually tripped off line and a controlled shutdown of the reactor was initiated. The reactor mode switch was placed in shutdown at 1331 hours0.0154 days <br />0.37 hours <br />0.0022 weeks <br />5.064455e-4 months <br /> on November 5, l

1993.

The shutdown was initiated to facilitate a leak repair on the "A" train 4th Point Feedwater Heater. While in cold shutdown, Safety Relief Valve (SRV) 203-3A was replaced.

On November 9, 1993, at 0315 hours0.00365 days <br />0.0875 hours <br />5.208333e-4 weeks <br />1.198575e-4 months <br />, the reactor was made critical and the unit was synchronized to the grid at 1451 hours0.0168 days <br />0.403 hours <br />0.0024 weeks <br />5.521055e-4 months <br />. Reactor power was increased and attained 100 percent CTP on November 10, 1993, at approximately 1100 hours0.0127 days <br />0.306 hours <br />0.00182 weeks <br />4.1855e-4 months <br />. On November 12 and 13, i

1993, reactor power was briefly reduced to 95 percent and 60 percent CTP, respectively, to perfarm maintenance on Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) 10-35.

On November 17, 1993 at approximately 2200 hours0.0255 days <br />0.611 hours <br />0.00364 weeks <br />8.371e-4 months <br />, reactor power was reduced to approximately 58 percent CTP to facilitate a leak repair on the "A" train 2nd Point Feedwater Heater.

Following maintenance reactor power was increased to 100 percent CTP at approximately 0300 hours0.00347 days <br />0.0833 hours <br />4.960317e-4 weeks <br />1.1415e-4 months <br /> on November 19, 1993.

On November 21, 1993, at approximately 0100 hours0.00116 days <br />0.0278 hours <br />1.653439e-4 weeks <br />3.805e-5 months <br />, reactor power was reduced to 50 percent CTP to perform a scheduled thermal backwash of the main condenser, and accomplish maintenance on the 2nd Point Feedwater Heaters. The unit attained 100 percent CTP at 1604 hours0.0186 days <br />0.446 hours <br />0.00265 weeks <br />6.10322e-4 months <br /> on November 21, 1993.

On November 24, 1993, reactor power was briefly reduced in response to a problem with the "A" Recirculation Motor Generator Set.

Following the brief power reduction, 100 percent CTP was achieved and was maintained for the remainder of the reporting period.

J REFUELING INFORMATION The follosing refueling information is included in the Monthly Report as requested in an NRC letter to BECo, dated January 18, 1978:

1 For your convenience, the information supplied has been enumerated so that each number corresponds to equivalent notation utilized in the request.

1.

The name of this facility is Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station, Docket Number 50-293.

2.

Scheduled date for next refueling shutdown: April 1, 1995 t

l 3.

Scheduled date for restart following next refueling: June 5, 1995 4.

Due to their similarity, requests 4, 5,

& 6 are responded to collectively under #6, 5.

See #6, 6.

The new fuel loaded during the 1993 refueling outage was of the same design as loaded in the previous refueling outage and consisted of 140 assemblies.

l l

7.

(a)

There are 580 fuel assemblies in the core.

l l

(b)

There are 1629 fuel assemblies in the spent fuel pool.

8.

(a)

The station is presently licensed to store 2320 spent fuel assemblies. The actual usel?e spent fuel storage capacity is 2320 fuel assemblies.

(b)

The planned spent fuel storage capacity is 2320 fuel assemblies.

9.

With present spent fuel in storage, the spent fuel pool now has the capacity to accommodate an additional 691 fuel assemblies.
