OPERATIONS

SUMMARY

SEPTEMBER 1990 The unit entered the month operating at -96% reactor power (limited by high OTSG level) producing ~820 MWe gross electrical generation. A aTc of -4.5'F was input to compensate for the high OTSG level on the "B" side. The unit continued at 96%

reactor power until September 28th when a reduction to 50% power was executed to support identification and repair of main condenser tube leaks. The unit closed the month operating at 50% reactor power producing 360 MW gross electrical generation. The "A" side of the main condenser was out of service with a aTc of

-2.5'F Anput to offset fouling in the "B" OTSG.

MAJOR SAFETY RELATED MAINTENANCI During September, the following major safety related maintenance activities were performed:

Hydrocen Recombiner HR-R-1B Efforts to replace the Hydrogen Recombiner HR-R-1B expansion joints were begun in September.

Holes were located in the existing bellows ir June and since replacement bellows could not be procured, a modification to the existing configuration was planned and approved to replace the failed hellows with hard piping.

Welding of flanges and pipe comprising the replacenent sections was complet9d and x-rays of the joints were satisfactory.

The cellows have been removed and the inlet and outlet piping prepped to accomnadate welding in the new sections during October.

l l

Primary Sample Valves CA-V30 A/B and CA-V31 A/B l

l The four Primary sample Valves (CA-V30 A/B and CA-V31 A/B) were replaced during September.

The valve packing gland bushing was found damaged on CA-V30A and l

since no repair part was available in the stores system, Plant Engineering authorized replacing the existing Autoclave valves with Parker-Hannifin l

compression end valves.

The results of post-installation testing were satisfactory.
