OPERATIONS

SUMMARY

The plant was operated base-loaded throughout the report period. Load reductions to 4h00 MWe for routine turbine stop and control valve testing averaged one per week during the report period. The. plant was shutdown three times during the six month period, all three being secondary system problems. (Feedvater control valve, moisture separator reheater and turbine).

Gross electrical generation for the month of March was the highest for a single month in the six year history of the plant. Gross electrical generation to date exceeded 22.5 billion KWil during the report period.

CliANGES IN FACILITY DESIGN j The only major changes in facility design in progress during the report

! period are the changes to the radioactive waste systems. The upgraded i gaseous waste system will provide a means of removing dissolved gases from plant liquids, compressing and storing them. The aerated liquid waste system will provide filtration, ion exchange, holdup, evaporation and drumming of contaminated, aerated liquids. The existing primary auxiliary building ventilatic,n and containment purge systems will be modified to include prefilters and charcoal filters. These changes are being made to upgrade present radwaste '

j facilities to meet new guides and standards. -

FUEL j Routine radiochemical analysis of reactor coolant confirms the continuing

! integrity of the fuel cladding. The concentration of radioactive fission products is indicative of very ninor defects in a few fuel tubes.

I STEAM GENERATOR TUBES A primary to secondary steam generator tube leak developed in the.#1 l steam generator on h-26-73. The leak remained relatively constant at %10 gallons per day. During the June outage the leaking tube was identified and 4

explosively plugged. Eddy current testing of the tubes in at least two i steam generators is planned for the forthcoming refueling and maintenance l outage.

RESULTS OF SURVEILLANCE TESTS / INSPECTIONS I

All checks, calibrations, tests and inspections required during the report period were completed. In the performance of three surveillance tests problems were identified, reported and corrected. They are  !

sunsnarized below:

1-11-73 Pressurizer Level Six Week Setpoint Check One of three pressurizer high level trip channels was found inoperative. To prevent recurrence the existing thermovolt i optical meter relays will be replaced systematically with a relay of improved design. This event was reported to

, DOL-AEC as Abnormal Occurrence.73-1.

3-2-73 Pressurizer Pressure Six Week Setpoint Check One of three pressurizer pressure / core cooling trip unit setpoints was found unacceptable during the six week surveillance check. To prevent recurrence the existing thermovolt optical meter relays will be replaced systematically with a relay of improved design. This event was reported to DOL-AEC as Abnormal Occurrence 73-2.

4-4-73 Emergency Diesel Generator Monthly Rest During a routine monthly operational test of Emergency Diesel Generator 2B, the diesel load was observed to be oscillating approximately 200 KW. A load gain potentiometer locking mechanism had loosened allowing the governor to exceed normal oscillation. This event was reported to DOL-AEC as Abnormal Occurrence #73-3 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATICN CHANGES Change #21 Section 5.7 entitled " Plant Reporting Requirements" was approved by AEC during the report period. The change standardizes our reporting requirements with other facilities.

Change #20 This change describes our respiratory protection program and provides allowances for the use of respiratory protective equipment.

VIY SUPERVISORY PERSONNEL CHANGES Mr. Paul Ahern, Shift Supervisor has been promoted to Operations Supervisor to fill a vacancy created by the transfer of Mr. Marshall Morris to the position of Technical Assistant to the Superintendent. All other key supervisory positions remain unchanged.

PLANT CHANGES, TESTS, EXPERIMENTS The following is a brief description and a summary of the safety evaluation for those changes which were carried out without prior commission approval, pursusat to the requirements of IOCFR Part 50, Section 50.59 (b) of the Commission's regulations:

Plant Design Change #88 entitled, " Hot Water Supply Line Extension" was completed. This change provides a supply of hot water at the chemical feed station where dry chemicals must be dissolved and added to the feedvater system.

The safety evaluation concluded that the change does not present any significant hazardous condition not described nor implied in the FDSA based upon the following:

1. The hot water system is not a safety related item and vill not affect the remainder of the system.
2. The hot water is being added to the un-modified feedvater system and the quantity used (% 10 gallons) is negligible when compared to the volume of f eedvater in the system. Therefore, the small amount of untreated hot water vill have no detectable effect on the treated feedwater.

Plant Design Change #89 entitled " Installation of Ammeters on Power Supplies to Containment Air Compressors" was completed. This change provides a means of remote monitoring of the operation of these units.' The safety evaluation concluded that the implementation of this change in no way affects the safety of the plant. It is judged to be good engineering practice and vill be an operator aid.

Plant Design Change #95 entitled " Service Air to Control Air System Cross-Connection Filter" was completed curing the report period.

The two air systems were incompatible in that the service air does not meet the oil free requirements of the control air system. The installation of this filter provides the oil free air required. The safety evaluation concluded that the probability of occurrence or the consequences of an accident or equipment malfunction are not increased by this change. The possibility of a different type of accident or malfunction is not created and the margin of safety is not reduced.

The change represents sound engineering judgement and vill increase plant reliability.

Plant Design Change #97 entitled " Automatic Opening of FM-MOV-30 On Low Service Water Pressure" was completed during the report period. The safety evaluation concluded that the change would not result in the degradation of the engineering design, nor is it an unreviewed safety item. By making this valve operate automatically rather than relying on an operator, it will increase the margin of safety as well as reduce the possibility of damage to the turbine on loss of station service AC power.

Plant Design Change #116.1 entitled " Relocation of North Fire Header" was completed during the report period. This relocation of the north fire main is necessitated by construction of the new radwaste building. The safety evaluation concluded the following:

1. The probability of occurrence or the consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety previously evaluated in the FDSA is not increased.
2. A possibility for an accident or malfunction of a different type than any evaluated previously in the safety analysis is not created.
3. The margin of safety as defined in the basis for any technical specification is not reduced.

Plant Design Change #117 entitled " Turbine Building Sprinkler System Extension" was completed during the report period. The added sprinkler system will protect the area beneath the main generator, a previously unprotected area. The safety evaluation concluded that the safety related systems are not affected by this change. The change has no affect on the operation of nuclear safety equipment nor upon the consequences of an accident. The system cannot affect the probability of the incidence of a nuclear accident, inasmuch as the proposed system is completely isolated from nuclear systems. Also the installation and/or the operation of the sprinkler system cannot create the possibility of an accident or malfunction not previously evaluated.

Plant Design Change #122 entitled " Upgrading of Feedwater Control Solenoid Valve Circuit" was completed during the report period. Before the change was made, certain types of solenoid failures could result in tripping the supply circuit breaker which would cause the remaining solenoid to also loose power, resulting in a plant trip. The addition of an indicating fuse for each solenoid would allow the fuse to blow instead of the circuit breaker tripping. Power would not be interrupted to the other solenoid valve thus the plant would not trip. The failed solenoid

. and fuse would then be replaced. The. safety evaluation concluded that the safety and reliability of the plant will be increased with the addition of an indicating fuse for each solenoid on the feedwater control valve. The evaluation further concluded that the change is not an unreviewed safety item because the probability of an accident previously evaluated will not be increased, and the possibility for an accident of a different type than any previously evaluated will not be created.

. " Plant D2 sign Change #123 entitled " Freeze Protection For Containment Purge Exhause Line" was completed during the report period.

This change provides a method of draining water from the return purge line and prevents water freezing in the bypass and isolation valves.

The safety evaluation concluded that the change does not increase the probability of occurrence and the consequences of an accident or equipment malfunction. The possibility for a different type of accident other than that previously analyzed does not exist and the margin of safety is not reduced. The change will increase plant reliability representing good engineering practice.

Plant Design Change #128 entitled " Test Panel For Partial Loss of A.C. Coincident With Core Cooling" was completed during the report period. This change provides a neat, orderly central panel for a test which occurs annually. The change vill accomplish both a reduction in the overall ti=e required to perform the tests and will ensure a better method of connecting test instruments to their information source. The safety evaluation concluded that the addition does not constitute an unreviewed safety item.

I Plant Design Change #129 entitled "T-Cold Interlock Circuit Isolation Between Indication and Control" was completed during the report period. This change stops the interaction between the indication portion and the control portion of the circuit. The safety evaluation concluded that the change does not constitute an unreviewed safety item. The design reflects goed engineering practice and should result in improved operational reliability.

Plant Desisrn Change #137 entitled " Temporary Replacement of CD-LCV-1312A" was completed during the report period. The change permits continued plant operation while the heater drains tank normal level control valve is repaired or replaced. The safety evaluation concluded that the procaoliity of occurrence and the consequences of an accident or equipment malfunction are not increased by this plant design change. The possibility for a different type of accident other than that previously evaluated does not exist and the margin of safety is not reduced. This change represents sound engineering judgement and will increase plant reliability.

Plant Design Change #138 entitled " Diesel Generator Day Tanks Overflow Protection" was completed within the report period. The change involves the addition of diesel day tank high level alarms, the extension of the day tank vent through the vall to tie into the underground tank vents ,

and replacement of the fuel transfer pump manual switch with a spring " return to off" type switch. These changes will prevent overfilling the day tanks and overflowing to the diesel generator room floor. The safety evaluation concluded that the probability of occurrence and the consequences of an accident or equipment malfunction are not increased by this plant design change. The possibility for a different type of accident other than that previously evaluated does not exist. The evaluation further concluded that the marjor of safety is not reduced and the change represente sound engineering judgement.
