03/04/02 F 68.32 A I STEAM GENERATOR REGULATING VALVE FAILED CLOSED Summary:

McGuire unit 1 began the month of March operating at approximately 100% full power. On 03/04/02 at 0842 the unit was mannually tripped due to the steam generator regulating valve failing closed. The unit was placed on-line 03/07/02 at 0501. The unit held at 90% power on 03/08/02 at 0115 to 03/08/02 at 0200 due to nuclear instrumentation calibration. The unit returned to 100% full power on 03/08/02 at 1900 and operated at or near 100% full power the remainder of the month.

1 03/01/02 S 503.00 C 4 END-OF-CYCLE 14 REFUELING OUTAGE OUTAGE DELAY OF 5.28 DAYS DUE TO REACTOR VESSEL CONTROL ROD 2 03/21/02 F 126.65 A DRIVE TUBE LEAK 3 03/27/02 S 0.78 B TURBINE OVERSPEED TRIP TEST Summary:

McGuire unit 2 began the month in end-of-cycle 14 refueling outage. The end-of-cycle 14 refueling outage spanned 32.28 days. The outage was delayed approximately 5.28 days due to reactor vessel control rod drive tube leak. The unit was placed on-line 03/27/02 at 0539 holding at approximately 14% power to perform the turbine overspeed trip test. The unit was taken off-line 03/27/02 at 0915 for the turbine overspeed trip test. The unit was placed on-line 03/27/02 at 1002. The unit held at 30% power from 03/27/02 at 1434 to 2349 due to power escalation testing. The unit held at 35% power from 03/28/02 at 0021 to 0124 due to secondary chemistry. The unit decreased power, and held at 30% power from 0153 to 0243 due to secondary 02 concentration above action II level. The unit began increasing power and held at 33% power from 0302 to 0332 due to reaching action level 11 on 02 concentration on secondary side. The unit held at 78% power from 03/29/02 at 2126 to 03/30/02 at 0748 due to power escalation testing. On 03/30/02 at 1830 the unit held at 90% power due to grid low demand until 03/31/02 at 0800. The unit returned to 100% full power on 03/31/02 at 1143 and operated at or near 100% full power the remainder of the month.
