1.0 Introduction i l

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 Kankakee and Des l Plaines Rivers, in Grundy County, near Morris, Illinois.

l Dresden Unit 1 is a General Electric Boiling Water 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 i 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. l This report for APRIL 1997, was compiled by Gary A.

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

SUMMARY

OF OPERATING EXPERIENCE FOR APRIL 1997 2.1 UNIT 2 MONTHLY OPERATING EXPERIENCE

SUMMARY

Unit 2 was on system at the beginning of the period near full power.

On April 10, 1997 the auxiliary contact assembly was found damaged for the bus 23 to 23-1 feed breaker during an inspection of electrical breakers. At 2112 all the Merlin Gerin electrical breakers were declared inoperable and preparations began for a unit shutdown. At 2236, commenced a load drop at 100 MWE per hour for a unit shutdown.

At 0857 on April 11, 1997 a manual scram was initiated at 150 MWE to complete the unit shutdown.

1 5.0 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION AMENDMENTS 5.1 Amendments to Facility License or Technical Specifications implemented during April 1997.

April 10, Received amendment 156 and 151 which permitted the removal of the Unit 3 24/48 VDC battery.

April 25, received amendment 158 and 153 which raised the minimum iodine removal efficiency of the Standby Gas Treatment Charcoal Filters from 90% to 97.5%. This was done because a recalculation of the secondary cor.tainment volume resulted in a smaller volume. The smaller volume, when used as a input to the calculation of post accident exposure to the control room operators, raised the predictec exposure above acceptable limits. This was offset by the improved iodine remv/al ef ficiency of the Standby Gas Treatment Charcoal Filters.

April 30, received amendment 157 and 152 which evaluated the Unreviewed Safety Question (US0) associated with the use of containment overpressure to compensate for a deficiency in the net positive suction head for the emergency core cooling pumps following a design basis accident. The amendment raised the 12 La \$ MC\f 301\MIKT 97970$0501.GA L
