REPORT [[]]
DETAIL [[S Summary of Plant Status The Oyster Creek Generating Station (Oyster Creek) began the inspection period operating at 100% (full power). On twenty-four occasions during the summer months operators performed unplanned power reductions of less than or equal to 20% power in accordance with operating procedures to maintain Oyster Creek's circulating water discharge temperatures below the environmental discharge permit requirements or to perform condenser backwash procedures to address degrading condenser vacuum conditions. These power reductions were of short duration and the plant returned to 100% power in each instance. On four occasions during the summer months operators performed unplanned power reductions of greater than 20% power in accordance with operating procedures to maintain Oyster Creek's circulating water discharge temperatures below the environmental discharge permit requirements or to perform condenser backwash procedures to address degrading condenser vacuum conditions. These power reductions were of short duration and the plant returned to 100% power in each instance. On August 1, operators performed a planned power reduction to 80% power to perform a rod pattern adjustment. The plant returned to full power later that day. On August 10, operators performed an unplanned power reduction to 80% power to maintain the plant's circulating water discharge temperatures below Oyster Creek's environmental discharge permit requirements due to a trip of the #1 dilution pump. The plant returned to 100% power on August 10, following the start of the standby dilution pump. On September 3, operators performed a planned power reduction to 80% power to perform a rod pattern adjustment and turbine valve testing. The plant returned to full power on September 4. On September 13, operators performed a planned power reduction to 61% power to perform troubleshooting for a ground indication on the]]
125VDC , "A" non-safety related bus. The reason for the power reduction was for As Low as Reasonably Achievable (
ALARA [[) occupational dose considerations when conducting troubleshooting in the condenser bay, which is a high radiation area during plant operations. The plant returned to full power on September 14. On September 16, operators performed a planned power reduction to 64% power to perform repairs on grounds identified on the]]
125VDC , "A" non-safety related bus. The reason for the power reduction was for

ALARA occupational dose considerations when conducting repairs in the condenser bay, which is a high radiation area during plant operations. The plant returned to full power on September 17. Oyster Creek operated at full power for the remainder of the inspection period. Enclosure
