NARRATIVE

SUMMARY

OF OPERATING EXPERIENCE SEPTEMBER 1986  ;

I At the onset of the September 1986 reporting period, the plant was in the pipe repair outage which commenced July 16, 1986.

At 2050 on September 9, the reactor was taken critical. At 1218 on September 10, the reactor was shut down to perform a planned test of Forced Circulation Pump speed at operating temperature. At 1405 on September 10, the reactor was taken critical again. At 1416 a reactor scram occurred due to a spike on wide range Nuclear Instrumentation Channel 5. The range switch was replaced and the instrument drawer balance was adjusted. The reactor was taken critical at 1918 on September 10. At 1925, the reactor scrammed on high flux on wide range Nuclear Instrumentation (N1) Channel 6. At low power, a trip occurs if either Channel 5 or 6 exceeds a set percentage of scale on any power range. The operator's attention was diverted by the failure of NI Channel 2 and Channel 6 reached its trip point before the operator upscaled the range.

Work was performed on the Nuclear Instrumentation. New instrumentation is on order and is planned to be installed during the 1987 refueling outage.

The reactor was taken critical at 0500 on September 13. At 1658, the reactor automatically shut down due to a high water level signal generated due to swell when the turbine stop valve was onened later in the startup procedure than required. The reactor was returned to criticality at 2013 on September 13. At 1050 on September 14, the turbine-generator was connected to the CPC grid.

Power escalation continued until September 15 with approximately 52% power (22 MWe-net) being achieved. Power was then reduced to about 38% (14 MWe-net) for cleaning of the condenser water boxes.- Escalation recommenced on September 15 following the cleaning.

At 0505 on September 18, the reactor automatically shut down from 73.5% power (36 MWe-net) due to low total recirculation flow when the IB Forced Circulation Pump tripped due to lack of seal water when its seal inject supply valve closed. The valve controller was cleaned and overhauled. The reactor was taken critical at 1905 on September 19.

At 2334 on September 19, the reactor was manually shut down from low power. A spike had occurred on N1 Channel 6 which generated a scram alarm, but not a reactor trip. The reactor was shut down to investigate. Work was performed on the Nuclear Instrumentation. It was demonstrated repeatedly that the alarm annunciated at a slightly lower voltage than the scram and that in all cases, the reactor trip occurred below the Technical Specification limit. The drawer was replaced.

At 1305 on September 20, the reactor was taken critical. At 0207 on September 21, the turbine-generator was connected to the DPC grid. Power was escalated until September 23, when approximately 79% power (37 MWe-net) was achieved.

NARRATIVE

SUMMARY

OF OPERATING EXPERIENCE - CONT'D On September 24, power was decreased to 64% (27 MWe-net) for cleaning of condenser water boxes.

Leakage had been noted from the Upper Control Rod Drive Mechanism flanges in positions 2 and 18. It was decided to commence a plant shutdown on September 24, since the load demand was low and the plant not needed, rather than waiting until September 26 to shut down for maintenance, as otherwise would have been done. The turbine-generator was disconnected from the DPC grid at 2230 on September 24, and the reactor was shut down at 0048 on September 25.

Work commenced on the Upper Control Rod Drive Mechanism on September 29. The plant remained shut down for the rest of the reporting period.

Major safety-related maintenance not already mentioned conducted during September 1986 included installation of the reactor vessel head, work on water level probes, installation and removal of Lower Control Rod Drive Mechanisms, and replacement of the Manual Depressurization System valves nitrogen supply regulator.
