The plant operated at essentially full thermal power operation until 03:27 a.m.

. November 13 when a scram occurred due to a high. condenser back-pressure turbine.

The loss of vacuum was caused by the failure of the

'A' circulating water trip. shaft which allowed the flow from the remaining pump to short cycle back to the pumn pump pit and cut of f flow to the c ondenser.

Four (4) safety-relief valves lifted momentarily in response to the scram from hig'a poweu.

Plant and operator response to the transient was as expected.

The generator was off-line for 89.7 hours8.101852e-5 days <br />0.00194 hours <br />1.157407e-5 weeks <br />2.6635e-6 months <br /> to remove the failed pump and was synchronized to the grid at 21:10 November 16.

Operating with the one remaining clreplation pump (approximately 55% of full circulation flow): the dry winter.

weather has permitted near full electric output.

The cause of the pump failure was determined to be bolt failure on the pump's to the pump column, ken bolts which held the impeller bell housing. The analysis of the-pump shaft bro and other damaged pump pump top wocks (impeller bowl assembly) com p nents is continuing to determine the cause of the bolt failure.to re-install the' pump waspump prior-The sent to the manufacturer for repair. DAEC is planning to Spring, 1993.

720.0 On November 19,'1992, while the plant was at 84.7% power and with the "B" control building chiller.out of service for maintenance, the "A" control building chiller tripped and could not be promptly restarted. The ineperability of both chillers-caused a loss of' control building air'cenditioning whose safety function is to control temprature to ensure control room habitability and equipment operability.

The "A" chiller tripped on low oil pressure caused by-low oil level. After adding oil, the "A" chiller was successfully restarted-and operated with no further-problems. The operating: logs that raonitor chiller operation :are being changed to more closely monitor chiller oil level and pressure. The plant was in a 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> administrative LCO during the approximately five hour period' that both chillers were inoperable. ihere was no significant increase in control-building temperatures and no offect on-portonnel safety or' safe operation of the plant.
