During part of the second quarter of 1981, the Shippingport Atomic Power Station was shut down for maintenance and testing. The 1A, 1B, and 1C 991 psig self-actuated steam relief valves remained gagged during the quarter to prevent leakage through the valve seats. Cold plant testing began on April 26 and Station heatup began May 20. The Main Coolant Pumps were switched to fast speed on May 21 and reactor criticality was achieved on May 27. The Station went on line for Duquesne Light Company System grid on June 4. Maximum power was achieved June 5 and was maintained throughout the remainder of the quarter.
