1.0 NARRATIVE
SUMMARY
OF OPERATING EXPERIENCE AND MAJOR SAFETY
.i RELATE 6 MAINTENANCE The month of April started with the reactor critical, in a rise to power process for primary coolant cleanup.
On April 2, 1986, the reactor and steam generators were taken through boilout. During the early morning of April 3, 1986, a major snow storm developed and the ensuing voltage upsets and system disturbances caused several problems. Several oil circuit breakers tripped open on dif ferent occasions during the morning of April 3, and at 1042 hours0.0121 days <br />0.289 hours <br />0.00172 weeks <br />3.96481e-4 months <br />, Loop 2 automatically shutdown and "B" helium purification train isolated. Management directed a manual scram of the reactor. Following the manual reactor scram, an unplanned radiological gaseous release occurred due to a suspected leak in one of the four helium circulator shutdown seals. The leak was secured, and dose calculations determined
<- that the release was approximately 3000 times less than the allcwable Permissible Concentration (MPC) at the U Maximum Exclusion Area Boundary (EAB). All significant events associated with the snow storm and manual reactor scram will be reported to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in Licensee Event Report #86-017.
The reactor was again taken critical on April 6,1986, at 1904 hours0.022 days <br />0.529 hours <br />0.00315 weeks <br />7.24472e-4 months <br />. Steam generator boilout was accomplished on April 8, 1986. The main turbine / generator was rolled on April 11, 1986, at 1010 hours0.0117 days <br />0.281 hours <br />0.00167 weeks <br />3.84305e-4 months <br /> and synchronized to the grid at 1443 hours0.0167 days <br />0.401 hours <br />0.00239 weeks <br />5.490615e-4 months <br />. The turbine tripped at 1511 hours0.0175 days <br />0.42 hours <br />0.0025 weeks <br />5.749355e-4 months <br /> due to a faulty stop valve load control amplifier. After the amplifier was replaced, the turbine / generator was again synchronized on April 12, 1986, at 0100 hours0.00116 days <br />0.0278 hours <br />1.653439e-4 weeks <br />3.805e-5 months <br />, but was manually taken off at 0812 hours0.0094 days <br />0.226 hours <br />0.00134 weeks <br />3.08966e-4 months <br /> to tune the
- hot reheat intercept valves bias control. The turbine / generator was resynchronized at 0930 hours0.0108 days <br />0.258 hours <br />0.00154 weeks <br />3.53865e-4 months <br />.

On April 22, 1986, at 1058 hours0.0122 days <br />0.294 hours <br />0.00175 weeks <br />4.02569e-4 months <br />, the turbine / generator was taken off line to repair a servo on #2 Main Steam Stop Valve and replace filters. The turbine / generator was resynchronized at 1525 hours0.0177 days <br />0.424 hours <br />0.00252 weeks <br />5.802625e-4 months <br />.
On April 24, 1986, at 1337 hours0.0155 days <br />0.371 hours <br />0.00221 weeks <br />5.087285e-4 months <br />, the turbine / generator tripped j on low electro-hydraulic control (EHC) pressure due to a leaking i
pressure sensing line. The sensing line was repaired and the turbine / generator was resynchronized at 1426 hours0.0165 days <br />0.396 hours <br />0.00236 weeks <br />5.42593e-4 months <br />.

The turbine / generator was resynchronized at 1641 hours0.019 days <br />0.456 hours <br />0.00271 weeks <br />6.244005e-4 months <br />.
On April 27, 1986, at 1110 hours0.0128 days <br />0.308 hours <br />0.00184 weeks <br />4.22355e-4 months <br />, the reactor automatically scrammed due to a Reactor Pressure Low scram signal received on Plant Protective System (PPS) channel B while Results I/C personnel w5re testing High and Low Pressure trips on PPS channel "C". At 1830 hours0.0212 days <br />0.508 hours <br />0.00303 weeks <br />6.96315e-4 months <br />, following the shutdown of "A" and "D" helium circulators to conserve steam, an unplanned gaseous release occurred to the reactor building from the helium circulator auxiliaries. Although the maximum concentration of this release was 0.25 MPC, less than that required to be reported under 10CFR50.72, this event was reported to the Nuclear Regulatory Comi.ission as a courtesy call at 2050 hours0.0237 days <br />0.569 hours <br />0.00339 weeks <br />7.80025e-4 months <br />. The reactor was again taken critical on April 28, 1986, at 0244 hours0.00282 days <br />0.0678 hours <br />4.034392e-4 weeks <br />9.2842e-5 months <br />. This event will be investigated and reported to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in Licensee Event Report #86-018.
Steam generator boilout was accomplished on April 29, 1986, and the turbine /gererator was resynchronized at 1525 hours0.0177 days <br />0.424 hours <br />0.00252 weeks <br />5.802625e-4 months <br />.
73 Spent fuel shipping activities were completed on April 30, 1986.
() All spent fuel has been removed from site.
