degrees Fahrenheit. The Unit 3 core is completely off loaded.
2.0 Facility Operations Summary                                                                    j Unit 2 is completing a refueling outage which began March 13, 1987.
Final work is being performed to support the reactor pressure vessel                          .
hydrostatic test. Unit 3 has been in a cold condition per the March 31,                      I 1987, NRC Order since April 1, 1987. The Unit 3 recirculation system                        l pipe replacement outage is in progress. The Unit 3 core off load was                          d completed on October 28, 1987. In .adition, twenty-two control rod blades have been exchanged and twelve local power range monitor strings are currently being exchanged.
3.0 Items of Special Interest A public meeting was held on November 4, 1987, in Lancaster County,                          i Pennsylvania, to receive public comments on the' Philadelphia Electric                        j Company (PECo) Commitment to Excellence Action Plan. Fourteen people                      ;
spoke to express their views on this Plan.                                                  ;
4.0 Other Items of Interest 4.1 The licensee has implemented the following shift operations organizational changes:- (1) J. Cotton assumed the duties-of Super-intendent, Operations on October 23;'and (2) the Shift Managers assumed the duties previously held by the Shift Superintendents effective 11:00 p.m. on October 25. In addition, on October 23 the following announcements were made regarding the proposed PECo corporate / plant reorganization: (1) M. J. McCormick, Peach Bottom Plant Manager; and -(2) K. Powers Peach Bottom Project Manager.                        ,
4.2 On October 26, Unit 3 received a spurious triple low reactor water                      )
level signal. A blocking permit hari been applied to a Yarway level          -
j indicating switch so that it could be replaced. 'After the permit                      >
was applied, maintenance, personnel tried to dr?.in the water in the switch and went beyond the boundary of the permit. Subsequently,                        i the entire variable leg header was drained, causing the unplanned                    'I triple low signal. The only actions that occurred were a Unit 3                        l high pressure service water (HPSW) pump trip and a loss of shutdown                    j cooling (SOC) at Unit 2. Operators manually secured SDC on Unit 3                        ;
when the HPSW pump tripped. Operators restored SDC at tsoth units                    1 within three minutes.
