Summary of Plant Status - April 1 to June 30, 2005

Hope Creek started the period in operational condition 4, "Cold Shutdown." PSEG repaired a through-wall crack in reactor recirculation decontamination connection piping and completed evaluations into the cause of the problem. Following completion of the repairs and the cause evaluation, operators established the reactor critical on April 9, 2005, entered operational condition 1, "Power Operation," and synchronized the main generator to the grid on April 10, 2005. The plant reached full power on April 13, 2005.

On April 14, 2005, operators reduced power to 79% to maintain safety auxiliaries cooling (SACS) and turbine auxiliaries cooling systems (TACS) supply temperatures within limits after significant grass increased the differential pressure across the inservice station service water system (SSWS) strainers and reduced SSWS flow to the SACS heat exchangers. The operators responded in accordance with abnormal procedures, verified there was adequate flow through SACS heat exchangers, and returned to full power operation on April 15, 2005, after grass levels in the Delaware River were reduced.

On April 22, 2005, operators reduced power to 88% to repair the 6A feedwater heater level control valve positioner. Following the repair and setting of the reactor recirculation motor generator set high speed mechanical and electrical stops, operators returned the plant to full power on April 23, 2005.

On June 7, 2005, operators observed that the unidentified drywell floor drain leak rate increased to approximately 0.90 gallons per minute (gpm), and entered the applicable abnormal operating procedure. The operators observed further increases in the drywell unidentified leak rate and a small increase in drywell pressure and manually shut down (scrammed) the reactor. The drywell unidentified leak rate continued to increase to greater than 10 gpm, at which time operators classified and reported the condition as an Unusual Event in accordance with their event classification guide. The plant was subsequently brought to cold shutdown conditions. Personnel entered the drywell on June 8, 2005, and observed the source of the leak to be from a through-wall crack in an enclosure tube that was part of the position-indicating device for the ÔAÕ residual heat removal (RHR) shutdown cooling return testable check valve (F050A). PSEG completed a modification to remove this feature from the ÔAÕ and ÔBÕ RHR shutdown cooling return testable check valves, inspected similar valve position indicating devices to verify the extent of the condition, and restarted the plant by bringing the reactor critical on June 13, 2005.

During power ascension on June 14, 2005, operators observed an increase in unidentified leak rate well below Technical Specification limits. Personnel entered the drywell and identified a steam leak from a non-safety related equipment drain pipe. Personnel determined the drain pipe leaked where steam from a main steam isolation valve packing leakoff line entered the drain pipe. The packing leakoff occurred through a leaking upstream closed isolation valve. To repair the drain leak, operators manually scrammed the reactor in accordance with operating procedures on June 14, 2005, and placed the plant in cold shutdown. Personnel subsequently replaced the packing isolation valve and repaired the drain pipe. Operators established the reactor critical on June 16, 2005, entered operational condition 1, "Power Operation," and synchronized the main generator to the grid on June 17, 2005. The plant reached full power on June 18, 2005, and remained at the power for the rest of the period.

Hope Creek - salt spray from hurricane dries, leads to reactor scram

The Hope Creek reactor scrammed on September 19, 2003 at 8:41 pm, partly because of salt on outdoor equipment. Here's the story: On September 18 and 19, the site was impacted by Hurricane Isabel's high winds (gusts at Hope Creek exceeded 60 mph at times) and the storm surge of the Delaware estuary. The winds and rough surf caused switchyard components at the plant to become coated with salt. Rain accompanying Isabel had stopped prior to the strongest winds thus leaving the salt spray to dry on switchyard components. The Salem - Hope Creek tie line (the line that connects the Hope Creek and Salem switchyards) tripped as a direct result of the salt on switchyard components that provided a low resistance pathway to ground. The actual initiating condition was an electrical transient caused by a 500 KV phase to ground fault. This initiated a trip and isolation of HC 500 KV Bus Section 2. The loss of power prompted autostart of two emergency diesel generators. However, two of the three reactor feed pumps tripped during the event (due to lube oil pump problems). The resultant reduction in feedwater flow prompted the reactor to scram on indication of low reactor water level.

Summary of Hope Ceek Ops - Oct 2003

* The unit entered the month at approximately 38% reactor power, reaching 100% on October 3.

* On October 4, Hope Creek was shutdown due to a control intercept valve hydraulic oil leak. The plant was returned on-line on October 7, and reached 100% power on October 12.

* On October 29, the unit was reduced to approximately 79% power due to solar magnetic disturbance and ended the month at a reduced power level.

* At the end of the month, Hope Creek completed 24 days of continuous on-line operation.

Cape May County Emergency Management Director Frank McCall updated the board and public on emergency evacuation routes out of Cape May County. Residents have criticized the county for having evacuation routes through Salem County, where three nuclear plants operate.

While McCall maintained that federal and state officials control the evacuation routes, he also challenged claims that the county would need to evacuate if a nuclear accident occurred at Salem. The emergency management director said that the county was well beyond the 10-mile radius around the plants where evacuations would have to occur.

He also said that a nuclear plume would dissipate before reaching Cape May County in all but extreme circumstances. The extreme circumstances? A northwest wind of no more than 4 mph, high humidity and cloud cover, he said.

"And in that case, we'd have 15 hours notification," he said.
