OMAHA PUBLIC POWER DISTRICT Fort Calhoun Station Unit No. 1 MAY 1991 Monthly Operating Report 1.

OPERATIONS

SUMMARY

Fort Calhoun Station operated at 75% power throughout the month of May 1991.

The plant is being held at 75% power to conserve fuel and allow operation until the scheduled refueling date of January 31, 1992.

The annual emergency preparedness (EP) exercise was conducted May 21 and 22, 1991.

Initial reactions from the NRC inspection team indicate that all but one open item from the last exercise will be closed and three new minor weaknesses may be identified.

On May 27, 1991, the NRC was inforned of a postulated high energy line break (HELB) of-an auxiliary heating steam line in an electrical penetration room which could affect redundant safety equipment. The potential for the HELB has been eliminated for the short term by isolating the auxiliary steam from this area.

The design wili be modified for permanent correction.

During the month of M:y.1991, a modification was completed to install air conditioning units to the static Exciter cabinets for emergency diesel generators DG-1 and DG-2.

The orig'nal design did not provide adequate cooling for many of the temperature-sensitive devices within the exciter / voltage regulator cabinets. The Ethylene-Glycol based antifreeze solution in DG-2's radiator was also replaced with water and rust inhibitor to improve diesel / jacket water cooling performance.

The coolant in DC-1 will be replaced in June.

Feedwater Pump, FW-48, was removed from service to repair a casing joint leak.

During repairs, areas of less than allowable minimum wall thickness were identified.

The pump vendor, Byron-Jackson, performed weld buildup repairs and re-machined the suspected areas.

The pump was in the process of reinstallation at the end of May.

The following NRC inspections took place in May:

IR-91-08 Annual EP Exercise IR-91-ll Emergency Preparedness IR-91-14 Resident's Routine Inspection The following LERs were submitted:

LER-91-08 Inappropriate Surveillance Requirements for RPS Level 1 Bistables LER-91-09 VIAS Actuation Due to Inappropriate Action A.

SAFETY VALVES OR PORV CHALLENGES OR FAILURES WHICH OCCURRED None

MAY 1991:

B..

RESULTS OF LEAK RATE TESTS-The results of-the Reactor Coolant Leak Rate tests for Ha), 1991 indicate that the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) and Chemical and Volume Control System-(CVCS) are both relatively leak tight. Total RCS leakage averages a very. low 0.08 gpm, essentially divided evenly between "known" and " unknown" leakage.

The maximum leak rate for the month was recorded on May 22, when the total leak rate was 0.244 gpm and the unknown leak rate was 0.212 gpm. Charging pump CH-1B was found to be leaking at the packing-

~(while.in standby mode).

The pump was repacked and the plungers were replaced.

C.

CHANGES, TESTS AND EXPERIMENTS REQUIRING NUCLEAR REGULATORY-

= -

--COMMISSION: AUTHORIZATION PURSUANT TO 10CFR50.59 Amendment-No.

Description None D.

SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RELATED MAINTENANCE FOR THE MONTH OF MAY 1991 Charging pump CH-1A and CH-1B were overhauled with new plungers, packing, suction & discharge valves.and valve seats.

Charging' pump.CH lC had one new valve, seat, and top cap installed.

DG-2 had the anti-freeze mixture drained from the cooling system and replaced with a water / rust inhibitor solution to improve summer operating performance.

-_ Breaker IA4-11 (for "B"_-Raw Water pump) experienced a cracked weld on-the strike plate as-.noted on an: inspection Preventative Maintenance

Order (PM0) and the weld was repaired.

General Electric identified this problem in Service Advice Letter 325.1, which recommended inspection / repair of any cracked welds found, but indicated that-breaker-operatton would-not be affected.

Breaker 1B38-4 (for "A" Component Cooling Water pump) was found'to.

have oil leaking from all three of the phase trip devices. The trip devices were replaced.

HCV-507B (Containment Isolation Valve for thc Waste Gas Vent. Header) failed to stroke fully open during the~ pa formance.of a surveillance test. The problem was traced to the air solenoid,;which was replaced.
