i OPERATING

SUMMARY

NOVEMBER 1978 The Unit operated at essentially 100% full power until November 11, 1978,,

at which time the powei was reduced to 65% full power for approximately one hour to perform tt.e scheduled Turbine Stop Valve Testing. The Unit then continued at 100% until November 15 at which time the turbine tripped (Reactor held at %20% power) as a result of a loss of.DC power to the Electro-Hydraulic Turbine Control System. With the suspected source of the power supply problem resolved, the generator breakers were reclosed within 3.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> with 100% power attained on November 16, 1978, approximately 20 hours2.314815e-4 days <br />0.00556 hours <br />3.306878e-5 weeks <br />7.61e-6 months <br /> following the trip.

As a result of the secondary plant transient experienced on November 15 Low Pressure Feed Heater leaks increased to the point where heater drain level control became unreliable. Power was temporarily reduced on November 17, 1978 to 75% to isolate the "B" Low Pressure Feedwater Hester String.

The Unit returned to 100% Reactor Power within an hour while the "B" Feedwater String remained isolated in order to perform necessary' repairs (25 leaking Feedwater tubes were repaired).

On November 18, 1978, the "B" Main Feedpump tripped as a result of performing the routine Thrust Bearing Wear trip test. The Unit ran back to 75% as a result of the feedpump trip and remained at 75% power uncil November 20 l

at which time, with both the 8B FW Heater and the B Feedpump repaired, the Unit escalated back to 100% full power. The cause of the trip was determined to be improper installation of the thrust bearing wear detector.

The Unit remained at 100% full power for the remainder of the month, i

The Unit continues to experience feedwater heater leaks, specifically in the 4B High Pressure Heater, however because of the inability to effectively isolate this heater and because these leaks have stabilized at this point, we expect to continue to operate with this condition until the 1979 Refueling Outage.

On October 20, 1978, the Unit's maximwn dependable capacity was reduced from 792 MWe to 776 MWe as a result of the actual generation experience with the Unit over the last four years of commercial operation and as a j

result of new metering techniques across the Unit's main transformer.

l MAINTENANCE

SUMMARY

There was no major safety related maintenance performed during the month.
