1.0 NARRATIVE

SUMMARY

-- 0F OPERATING EXPERIENCE AND MAJOR SAFETY.

RELATED MAINTENANCE =

i Replacement and testing of Regions 3 and 7 control rods was- I successfully completed during the first week of May,1989.

1 Investigation and troubleshooting was performed on the ACM Diesel' during the.first week of May,1989, .to determine the reasons for the load swinging that was being experienced. The problems > -e resolved and the diesel was declared operable on May 5,1989, at '

2215 hours0.0256 days <br />0.615 hours <br />0.00366 weeks <br />8.428075e-4 months <br />.

The reactor was taken critical on May 5,1989, at 2355 hours0.0273 days <br />0.654 hours <br />0.00389 weeks <br />8.960775e-4 months <br /> and remained critical the entire month of May. J q

The Turbine Generator was placed on line May 7, 1989, at 1833 1 hours1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> and remained on line the entire month of May. j The reactor was maintained at 50% power for a.few days during  ;

the month due to problems being experienced with the flux l controller sending spurious signais to the regulating rod.

Troubleshooting and repairs 'were initiated and the -flux controller was returned to automatic operation.

l A steam leak was identified on Hot Reheat drain line L- 22207. j Repairs were completed'on May 29, 1989.  ;

I Reactor power and Turbine Generator load were increased during the month a. moisture and oxidant levels permitted.  ;

l The reactor reached _80% power on May 29, 1989, and remained at '

power threugh the end of May, 1989.

On May 30, 1989, the ACM diesel load swinging problems i

resurfaced. The ACM was declared inoperable at 1400 hours0.0162 days <br />0.389 hours <br />0.00231 weeks <br />5.327e-4 months <br />, i entering the 7 day Srace period of LC0 4.2.17. '
