1.0 NARRATIVE
SUMMARY
OF OPERATING EXPERIENCE AND MAJOR SAFETY RELATED MAINTENANCE 1.1 Summary The Fort St. Vrcin maintenance outage, which started on October 29, 1979, and continued through the month of November, was completed on Decemb er 17, 1979, when the main condenser was returned to service.
Normal plant valve lineups were verified and the reactor was taken critical. Clean up of the primary and secondary coolant systems had started by the end of the reporting period.
1.2 Operations Primary coolant moisture levels increased following the flooding of "C" circulator bearing cartridge. This water ingress is attributed to work being done on the low pressure separator (CN-ll58, quench line).
"B" circulator would not self-turbine following an extended shutdown period. Unsuccessful attempts were made using condensate And emergency feedwater to the pelton wheel. The circulator was finally rotated by using a combination of increased bearing water flow while applying emergency feedwater to the pelton wheel.
The reactor was taken critical on December 25, 1979, and power held at approximately 1.5% for primary and secondary coolant system clean-up. A reactor scram and Loop 2 shutdown occurred on December 30, 1979, following the operation of "C" circulator at speed. High moisture levels are attributed to the ingress which occurred on December 7, 1979. Following this shutdown, maintenance on two major Loop 2 com-ponents was started. (DN - leakage on V-2256 and oil supply flange leakage on HV-2254).
1.3 Testing Circulator speed / wobble connectors underwent environmennal testing at Wylie Labs in California.
PCRV liner corrosion Surveillance Test was completed.
PCRV rupture disc and safety valve testing was successfully completed.
"A" diesel generator semi-annual inspection was successfully cocpleted
- with the surge protector damage and subsequent repairs completed as noted in Section 1.4 on the following page. .

SUMMARY
OF OPERATING EXPERIENCE AND MAJOR S AFETY RELATED MAINTENANCE (Cont'd)
- 1. 4 Major Equipment Problems "A" diesel generator was damaged during checkout of the unit following its semi-annual inspection. The generator was placed on line in the independent mode, but should have been placed on line in the parallel mode. The field winding surge protector was damaged and repaired, and the unit was returned to service.
Seat repairs were accomplished on HV-2215 and HV-2217 (L-I steam water dump valves). However, leak through of HV-2217 has been suspected following the establishment of feedwater flow through L-I. HV-2217 has been isolated while evaluating repairs.
A new guide collar was installed on HV-2302 ("B" purification train iso-lation valve) to prevent binding between operator and valve stem.
Manual operators were installed on HV-2301 and HV-2302 per GA-FCN-4251.
New bolts for "B" and "C" circulator steam inlet flanges were fabricated and installed. The previous bolts were rejected by PSC. Quality As-surance af ter reviewing manufacturers certification and perforaing
" pull" tests on bolts machined from identical material.

RE7UELING INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

- 9. Ihe projected date of the 1986 under the Three Party Agreement (Con-last refueling that can be tract AT (04-3)-633) between DOE, Public discharged to the spent fuel Service Company of Colorado (PSCo), and pool assuming the present General Atomic Company.*
licensed cacaelty.
- The 1986 date is based on the understanding that spent fuel discharged during the term of the Three Party Agreement will be shipped to the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory for. storage by DOE at the Idaho Chemical Processing Plant (ICPP). The storage capacity has evidently been sized to accomodate fuel which is expected to be discharged during the eight year period covered by the Three Party Agree =ent. -
