Abstract
At the end of March 1983, the Gentilly 2 nuclear power station achieved full power for the first time. The power station then underwent its first week of stable operation at full power. This meant the end of the run up to full power testing period (Phase C). This period was to be followed by a planned shutdown of six weeks, devoted to maintenance and modification work. However, an inspection suggested that there was internal damage to the turbine, whose seriousness was confirmed during disassembly of one of the low-pressure stages. The repairs were completed in early September and five months after the shutdown had begun, the power station could be restarted. At this point, the on-power testing (phase D), the final stage in the commissioning of Gentilly 2, was begun. September 30, 1983 marked the start of commercial operation of the power station, which was to provide a large amount of energy to the grid during the 1983-1984 winter until the recent scheduled shutdown on April 22. In this paper, a list of problems encountered and analyze the experience acquired during the initial phase of operating the Gentilly 2 power station.
