On December 11, 2002, at 1510 hours0.0175 days <br />0.419 hours <br />0.0025 weeks <br />5.74555e-4 months <br />, a load reduction (derate) commenced due to a thermal anomaly found on the 345 KV disconnect 4B located in the Buchanan Substation. Over the course of a three (3) day period, the unit reached its lowest derate at 450 MWe on December 13, at 1511 hours0.0175 days <br />0.42 hours <br />0.0025 weeks <br />5.749355e-4 months <br />. On December 14, at approximately 0001 hours1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />, a load escalation commenced and the unit was stabilized at 840 MWe at 0635 hours0.00735 days <br />0.176 hours <br />0.00105 weeks <br />2.416175e-4 months <br />. Following successful completion of repairs to the substation equipment, a load escalation commenced on December 16, at 2115 hours0.0245 days <br />0.588 hours <br />0.0035 weeks <br />8.047575e-4 months <br />, and the unit reached full power on December 17, at 0030 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />.
The unit received a 1.4% power uprate by NRC letter dated November 26, 2002, which issued Amendment 213 to the Facility Operating License (No. DPR-64) and Technical Specifications.
This power uprate resulted in licensed thermal power (MWt) increasing to 3067.4 MWt and the maximum dependable capacity (Gross MWe) increasing to 979 MWe. The power uprate commenced on December 22, at 1410 hours0.0163 days <br />0.392 hours <br />0.00233 weeks <br />5.36505e-4 months <br />, and was completed at 1610 hours0.0186 days <br />0.447 hours <br />0.00266 weeks <br />6.12605e-4 months <br />.
