BOSTON EDISON COMPANY PILGRIM NUCLEAR POWER STATION DOCKET NO. 50-293 OPERATIONAL

SUMMARY

FOR JUNE 1994 The unit started the reporting period at approximately 100 percent core thermal power (CTP).

This power level was essentially maintained until June 10, 1994.

At 1054 hours0.0122 days <br />0.293 hours <br />0.00174 weeks <br />4.01047e-4 months <br /> cr June 10, 1994, the "A" Recirculation Pump Motor Generator (MG) Set tripped, and power was reduced to approximately 41 percent CTP at 1141 hours0.0132 days <br />0.317 hours <br />0.00189 weeks <br />4.341505e-4 months <br />.

At 1432 hours0.0166 days <br />0.398 hours <br />0.00237 weeks <br />5.44876e-4 months <br />, following troubleshooting, the "A" Recirculation Pump MG Set was restarted and reactor power was increased.

AT 1914 hours0.0222 days <br />0.532 hours <br />0.00316 weeks <br />7.28277e-4 months <br />, 100 percent power was attained, and was essentially maintained until June 19, 1994, when power was reduced to j

approximately 47 percent CTP to facilitate a planned thermal backwash of the main condenser.

Following completion of the backwash, power was increased to 100 percent CTP at approximately 1530 hours0.0177 days <br />0.425 hours <br />0.00253 weeks <br />5.82165e-4 months <br /> where it was essentially maintained until June 27, 1994.

At 0400 hours0.00463 days <br />0.111 hours <br />6.613757e-4 weeks <br />1.522e-4 months <br /> on June 27, 1994, power was reduced to approximately 73 percent CTP due to a malfunction of the "A"

3rd Point Feedwater Heater Level Control]er.

Following maintenance to restore the feedwater heater to service, power was increased, reaching 100 percent CTP at approximately 0800 hours0.00926 days <br />0.222 hours <br />0.00132 weeks <br />3.044e-4 months <br />, where it was maintained for the remainder of the reporting period.

REFUELING INFORMATION The following refueling information is included in the Monthly Report as requested in an NRC letter to BECo, dated January 18, 1978:

For your convenience, the information supplied has been enumerated so that each number corresponds to equivalent notation utilized in the request.

1.

The name of this facility is Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station, Docket Number 50-293.

2.

Scheduled date for next refueling shutdown: April 1, 1995.

3.

Scheduled date for restart following next refueling:

May 26, 1995.

4.

Due to their similarity, requests 4, 5,

& 6 are responded to collectively under #6.

5.

See #6.

6.

The new fuel lc Jied during the 1993 refueling outage was of the same design as loaded in the previous refueling outage and consisted of 140 assemblies.

7.

(a)

There are 580 fuel assemblies in the core.

03)

There are 1629 fuel assemblies in the spent fuel pool.

8.

(a)

The station is presently licensed to store 3859 spent fuel assemblies.

The actual usable spent fuel storage capacity is 2320 fuel assemblies.

03)

The planned spent fuel storage capacity is 3859 fuel assemblies.

9.

With present spent fuel in storage, the spent fuel pool now has the capacity to accommodate an additional 691 fuel assemblies.
