SUMMARY

JUNE, 1994 Oyster Creek entered June shutdown following a reactor scram from full power on May 31 at 1332 hours0.0154 days <br />0.37 hours <br />0.0022 weeks <br />5.06826e-4 months <br />.

The automatic reactor scran occurred on a turbine-generator trip due to JCP&L work in the switchyard which inadvertently actuated a generator protective relay. Reactor start-up began on June 1 at 2020, and the generator went on line at 0829 on June 2. There were six days during the month when reactor power was reduced due to canal temperature limits ( discharge temperature cannot exceed 106 F). The plant ended the reporting period operating at full power.

The plant generated 409,649 net megawatt-hours electric and attained a MDC net capacity factor of 93.3% for the month.

MONTHLY OPERATING REPORT LICENSEE EVENT REPORTS The following Licensee Event Reports were submitted during the month of June,1994:

LER 94-005 - VOLUNTARY On March 8,1994, during an inspection it was discovered that the Turbine Building overhead 150 ton crane main hoist motor to gear box flex coupling exhibited casting defects and a through wall hole. On May 6,1994, during an inspection it was discovered that the Reactor Building overhead 100 ton crane main hoist motor to gear box flex coupling exhibited casting defects and a crack. GPUN decided to voluntarily report these conditions. The main hoist motor to gear box flex couplings have been installed on the overhead cranes since initial plant startup. The flex couplings are scheduled to be sent to the laboratory for failure analysis. A supplement to this mport will be issued after the failure analysis is completed.

Since the overhead crane meets NUREG-0612 requirements and no historical record of failure exists for the flex coupling, this condition is considered to have low safety significance. The main hoist motor to gear box flex couplings are being replaced on both overhead cranes.

LER 94-006 A technical specification required plant shutdown commenced on May 22,1994 at 1110 hours0.0128 days <br />0.308 hours <br />0.00184 weeks <br />4.22355e-4 months <br /> when both Control Rod Drive (CRD) Pumps were found to be inoperable during surveillance testing. The plant was placed in cold shutdown at 0639 hours0.0074 days <br />0.178 hours <br />0.00106 weeks <br />2.431395e-4 months <br /> on May 23,1994. The single discharge stop check valve on CRD pump "B" would not close. This resulted in both pumps failing their operability test.

Valve failure was determined to be valve body erosion which allowed the disc to become lodged between a groove in the body and the valve seat. The safety significance was minimal. The corrective action taken was to replace the stop check valve on CRD pump "B" with separate check and globe valves. Performance of the new valve configuration will be evaluated during the mn cycle.

LER 94-007 A mactor scram occurred due to modification work in the <witchyard on May 31,1994 at 1332 hours0.0154 days <br />0.37 hours <br />0.0022 weeks <br />5.06826e-4 months <br />.

While loosening a wire connected to an auxiliary relay of the 230 KV bus section differential relay, to install a Digital Fault Recorder, the relay actuated causing a generator and turbine trip resulting in a reactor scram. All five Recirculation Pumps tripped, two Electromatic Relief Valves opened and both Isolation Condensers initiated. All systems responded to the scram as expected and therefore, there was no safety significance to this event. The plant was placed in cold shutdown at 2210 hours0.0256 days <br />0.614 hours <br />0.00365 weeks <br />8.40905e-4 months <br /> on May 31. Corrective actions included placing the modification on hold pending engineering review and strengthening procedural controls over switchyard work.

Currently projected for September 10, 1994 Scheduled date for restart following refueling: Currently projected for November 14, 1994 Will refueling or resumption of operation thereafter require a Technical Specification change or other license amendment?

No Important licensing considerations associated with refueling, e.g.,

new or different fuel design or supplier, unreviewed design or performance analysis methods, significant changes in fuel design, new operating procedures:
