KEWAUNEE NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - DOCKET 50-305
SUMMARY
OF OPERATING EXPERIENCE March 2002 On Saturday, March 9, at 0702, with the unit at 100% reactor power, a load decrease was initiated to perform:
"* SOP-AFW-05B-14, Auxiliary FW Pump A Casing Flush
"* SP 05B-283A&B, Motor Driven AFW Pump A&B Full Flow Test-IST
"* SP-05B-284, Turbine Driven AFW Pump Full Flow Test
"* SP54-086, Turbine Stop Valve Test Following the successful completion of these procedures, load increase was initiated at 1546.
At 1820, a Control Rod was identified outside of the required acceptable deviation prohibiting increasing power above 85%. At 1923, the Control Rod was within the acceptable range and load pickup resumed. At 2052, a Substation Major alarm was received when R-304 and 3451 tripped open.
Load increase was stopped, the alarm was addressed, and TRANSCO notified. At 2102, TRANSCO re-closed R-304 and 3451. At 2125, plant load increase was re-initiated and completed at 2132, Reactor Power 98%.
On Sunday, March 10, at 0901, with Reactor Power at 99.9% (555 MWe), TRANSCO opened R-304.
At 0935, per System Operating, a plant backdown to 380 MWe was initiated. At 1127, with Reactor Power at 68.2% (380 MWe), System Operating opened Q-303.
On Monday, March 11, at 0311, following repairs to a 345 KV line, R-304 was closed. At 0315, Q-303 was closed. At 0319, System Operating released the plant for power increase. At 0334 plant load increase was initiated. Full power (100%) was reached at 0905.
The plant continues to operate at 100% steady state operation.
Maintenance Group Activities for the Month Instrument and Control Group Activities for the Month I&C completed the following work orders for March:
"* Replaced signal injection switches for Steam Exclusion testing
