1.0 Introduction Dresden Nuclear Power Station is a three reactor generating facility owned and operated by the Comed

)

Company of Chicago, Illinois. Dresden Station is  !

located at the confluence of the K6nkakee and Des )

Plaines Rivers, in Grundy County, near Morris, ,

Illinois.

l Dresden Unit 1 is a General Electric Boiling Water I Reactor with a design net electrical output rating of 200 megawatts electrical (MWe). The unit is being decommissioned with all nuclear fuel removed from the reactor vessel. Therefore, no Unit 1 operating data is provided in this report.

Dresden Units 2 and 3 are General Electric Boiling Water Reactors, each licensed at 2527 megawatts thermal. The gross outputs of Units 2 and 3 are 832 and 834 megawatts electrical, respectively, with design net electrical output ratings of 794 MWe each. The commercial service date for Unit 2 is 11 August 1970, and 30 October 1971 for Unit 3.

Waste heat is rejected to a man-made cooling lake using the Kankakee River for make-up and the Illinois River for blowdown.

The Architect-Engineer for Dresden Units 2 and 3 was Sargent and Lundy of Chicago, Illinois.

This report for MAY 1997, was compiled by Gary A.

Abrell of Dresden Regulatory Assurance Staff, telephone number (815) 942-2920, extension 3749.

i 2.0 SUNNARY OF OPERATING EXPERIENCE FOR MAY 1997 2.1 UNIT 2 MONTHLY OPERATING EXPERIElfCE

SUMMARY

-Unit 2 was in a forced. outage at the beginning of the period to repair the auxiliary contact ,

assembly in Merlin Gerin electrical breakers. i On 5/2/97 commenced reactor startup at 0302.

Reactor critical at 0939. At 0940 noted current fluctuations on 2A Reactor Recirculating Pump Motor Generator. At 0950, 2A Reactor Recirculating Pump was stopped. At 1010 initiated  ;

a manual reactor scram.

l On 5/3/97 2A reactor Recirculating Pump started at i 1902 following repairs to motor generator tachometer. At 2311 on 5/4/97, commenced reactor j]

startup. At 0234 on 5/5/97 reactor was critical  :

At 1910 #4 Turbine Control Intermediate Valve-(CIV) did not open for turbine warming. At 0153  !

on 5/6/97 reactor was manually scrammed to repair l

1. 4 CIV.

Commenced reactor startup following repairs to #4 CIV at 0918 on 5/9/97. Reactor was critical at 1323, and turbine was synchronized at 0957 on 5/10/97. At 1820 startup was placed on hold because of steam leaks on 2D Main Staam Isolation Valve (MSIV) packing. Commenced Reactor shutdown at 1043 on 5/11/97 to repair 2D MSIV packing leak.

Unit off system at 1237; Reactor was manually scrammed at 1335 to complete the shutdown.

Following repairs to 2D MSIV packing, reactor startup commenced at 1641 on 5/15/97. Reactor was critical at 2100. MSIVs tested satisfactorily at 1351 on 5/16/97. Unit was synchronized to the grid at 0030 on 5/17/97. Increased load to full power. l At 1120 on 5/26/97, began load drop in preparation for connection of line 2311 in the 345 KV yard.

i Load was 300 MWE at 1935 on 5/26/97 and remained near 375 MWE for the remainder of the period.
