SUMMARY

OF MONTHLY OPERATING EXPERIENCE - MAY, 1984

- May 1 The station was in operational mode 1 with reactor power a through- nominal 100%. The reactor. coolant system was at normal May 23 operating temperature and pressure.

May 24 With the station operating at 100% reactor power, a generator /

turbine / reactor-trip occurred at 0239 hours0.00277 days <br />0.0664 hours <br />3.95172e-4 weeks <br />9.09395e-5 months <br />. The No. 1 diesel generator autostarted due to an apparent undervoltage on 4160V bus lAE and 480V bus 18N. The plant was stabilized in mode 3 using appropriate emergency procedures.

.The cause of the trip was traced to a failed. transistor on the-time limiter module of the WTA voltage regulator. The transistor was. replaced and the station was taken critical at 1550 hours0.0179 days <br />0.431 hours <br />0.00256 weeks <br />5.89775e-4 months <br />.

The main unit generator was synchronized to the grid at 1830 g hours. Escalation of reactor power was then begun. At 1854

hours, while attempting to switch steam generator feedwater control from the bypass to main.feedwater regulating valves, the 'C' main feedwater regulating valve would not respond to a demand signal. The problem was found to be a broken valve

. stem. Feedwater control was placed back in bypass and reactor power was being maintained at approximately 30%.

At 2214 hours0.0256 days <br />0.615 hours <br />0.00366 weeks <br />8.42427e-4 months <br />, the generator experienced a 120MW load rejection due to problems with the electro-hydraulic control (EHC) system.

-The EHC system was placed in manual control.

May 25 The IB S/G feedwater control was switched to bypass to support

~the clearance on FCV-FW-488.

The EHC problems were traced to a faulty impulse pressure transmitter which was sending erratic input signals to the EHC when the system was in the " IMP IN" position. The onsite technical representative gave the okay to increase power with the EHC-in the " IMP OUT" position. Escalation of reactor power was begun;at 1115 hours0.0129 days <br />0.31 hours <br />0.00184 weeks <br />4.242575e-4 months <br />. A new impulse pressure transmitter i

was installed and found to be reading satisfactorily. Reactor-power was increased to 100% at'2035 hours0.0236 days <br />0.565 hours <br />0.00336 weeks <br />7.743175e-4 months <br />.

At 1440' hours, the station experienced a 20MW load rejection.

~

- May'26' A second 20MW load rejection occurred at 1500 hours0.0174 days <br />0.417 hours <br />0.00248 weeks <br />5.7075e-4 months <br />. The EHC system was placed in " IMP OUT." The EHC impulse channel was found to be' drifting high. A strip chart recorder was installed

'to. record the input signals sent from the pressure transmitter to the EHC rystem.

May 27 The station was in operational mode I with reactor power a

- through nominal 100%. The reactor coolant system was at normal May 28 operating temperature and pressure.

May 29- The station was operating at a nominal 100% reactor power.

At 1040 hours0.012 days <br />0.289 hours <br />0.00172 weeks <br />3.9572e-4 months <br />, the EHC was restored to " IMP IN" control. The problem in the impulse pressure transmitter was found to be a loose. electrical connection at the EHC cabinet.
