SUMMARY

The Unit began the report period operating at a nominal value of 100% output. On 11/5/03 at 0228 hours0.00264 days <br />0.0633 hours <br />3.769841e-4 weeks <br />8.6754e-5 months <br />, the Unit began to reduce thermal power to less than 2652 MWt due to failure of the Leading Edge Flow Meter (LEFM). A corresponding electrical output of approximately 98% was achieved at 0304 hours0.00352 days <br />0.0844 hours <br />5.026455e-4 weeks <br />1.15672e-4 months <br /> on 11/5/03. Upon returning the LEFM to operable status, the Unit commenced to return to full electrical and thermal power at 2145 hours0.0248 days <br />0.596 hours <br />0.00355 weeks <br />8.161725e-4 months <br /> on 11/5/03. -

- .. Full power was achieved at2209.hours-on 11/5/03.- .-.-. . _ _.

The Unit continued to operate at a nominal value of 100% output until 0001 hours1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> on 11/30/03 when a 10% load reduction was commenced in order to support a planned calibration of Loop 11 Delta-T/Tavg. Output was reduced to approximately 90% at 0107 hours0.00124 days <br />0.0297 hours <br />1.76918e-4 weeks <br />4.07135e-5 months <br /> on 11/30/03 in order to gain extra margin as a conservative measure in order to prevent a possible Turbine runback or plant trip during the calibration of Loop II with Loop I experiencing fluctuations high.-

Following completion of the calibration, the Unit commenced to return to full power at 0455 hours0.00527 days <br />0.126 hours <br />7.523148e-4 weeks <br />1.731275e-4 months <br /> on 11/30/03. A nominal value of 100% output was achieved at 0558 hours0.00646 days <br />0.155 hours <br />9.22619e-4 weeks <br />2.12319e-4 months <br /> on 11/30/03..

The Unit continued to operate at a nominal value of 100% output for the remainder of the report period.
