| event text = On September 1, 2013 at 1610 CST, Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant (MNGP) experienced a runback of 'A' Recirc pump from 87% speed to 82% speed. Operators took action to lock 'A' Recirc pump scoop tube. This runback resulted in a power reduction from 100% to 98% RTP [Rated Thermal Power]. Should a LOCA [Loss of Coolant Accident] occur with the resultant mismatch between total jet pump flows of the two loops greater than required limits, the core flow coastdown and resultant core response may not be bounded by the LOCA analyses. It has been determined that this is an unanalyzed condition as defined by 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B). | | event text = On September 1, 2013 at 1610 CST, Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant (MNGP) experienced a runback of 'A' Recirc pump from 87% speed to 82% speed.

At 2123 CST on September 1, 2013, MNGP completed adjusting recirc flow speed on 'A' and 'B' Recirc pumps to match jet pump loop flows to within the required limits and is no longer in an unanalyzed condition. Both 'A' and 'B' Recirc scoop tubes remain locked pending investigation. | At 2123 CST on September 1, 2013, MNGP completed adjusting recirc flow speed on 'A' and 'B' Recirc pumps to match jet pump loop flows to within the required limits and is no longer in an unanalyzed condition.
