The plant was at 1% power on April 8, 1986, in the process of returning to power following an unplanned unit trip earlier on April 8.

KG&E has decided to keep the plant shutdown for a 15-day outage in order to perform some required Technical Specification surveillances and maintenance.
Neither the licensee nor the NRC plans to issue a press release.
The state of Kansas will be informed.
