(Shippingport Atomic Power Station). Quarterly operating report, second quarter 1982

Technical Report · Fri Jan 01 04:00:00 EST 1982

OSTI ID:6949388

At the beginning of the second quarter of 1982, the Shippingport Atomic Power Station was operating for Duquesne Light Company system grid at maximum base load with the 1A, 1B, 1C, and 1D reactor coolant loops and the 1AC and 1BD purification loops in service. The 1A, 1B, and 1C 991 psig self-actuated steam relief valves remained gagged during the quarter to prevent leakage through the valve seats. The 1D steam relief valve was removed during the Spring 1980 Shutdown for repairs and a blind flange was installed in its place. Gagging and/or removing of redundant relief valves is permitted by ASME Code and approved operating procedures. The station operated at maximum allowable power throughout the quarter, except as noted. The LWBR Core has generated 27,319.20 EFPH from start-up through the end of the quarter. There were no radioactive liquid discharges from the Radioactive Waste Processing System to the river this quarter. During the second quarter of 1982, a total of 550 cubic feet of radioactive solid waste was shipped out of state for burial. The shipments contained 0.007463 curies of radioactivity.
