SUMMARY
OF OPERATING EXPERIENCE January 2003 The Indian Point Unit No. 3 Nuclear Power Plant was synchronized to the bus for a total of 713.10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br />, producing a gross electrical energy generation of 729, 059 MWH.
On January 13, at 0618 hours0.00715 days <br />0.172 hours <br />0.00102 weeks <br />2.35149e-4 months <br />, the reactor was manually tripped in accordance with procedures due to a high Main Condenser differential pressure between two condenser sections. This was caused by the loss of No. 35 Circulating Water Pump (CWP) while No. 36 CWP was out of service for scheduled maintenance. The plant was stabilized in the hot standby condition. The apparent cause of the loss of No. 35 CWP was a failure of one of the DC exciter leads terminal lugs that connect the exciter rotor to the main rotor of the pump motor. The failure was a result of the leads rubbing the dust cover from inadequate corrective maintenance.
Protective tagging implemented for maintenance of the 36 CWP was removed and the 36 CWP returned to service. Troubleshooting was performed on the 35 CWP pump and repairs initiated.
The reactor was brought critical on January 14, at 0729 hours0.00844 days <br />0.203 hours <br />0.00121 weeks <br />2.773845e-4 months <br />, and the unit was synchronized to the bus at 1312 hours0.0152 days <br />0.364 hours <br />0.00217 weeks <br />4.99216e-4 months <br />. The unit achieved full power on January 15, at 0127 hours0.00147 days <br />0.0353 hours <br />2.099868e-4 weeks <br />4.83235e-5 months <br />, and remained on line at full power for the remainder of the reporting period.
