Subject: FORCED OUTAGE UPDATE                                            

Discussion:

On October 26, 1996, Dresden Unit 3 experienced a trip of the 3B         
Recirculation MG Set (ref. PN 3-96-066). Subsequent to the MG Set trip,  
the licensee shut down Unit 3 and commenced an investigation into the    
cause of the equipment failure.                                          
                                                                         
Testing identified a ground exists on the "C" phase of the 3B Reactor    
Recirculation Pump Motor. Motor disassembly and inspection are scheduled 
to be completed by November 9, and results will be used to determine if  
the pump can be repaired in place (Plan A) or must be removed and        
replaced (Plan B). Plan A is projected to be completed by November 17;   
Plan B is tentatively scheduled to be complete by November 22. Restart of
the unit is expected to immediately follow motor repair.                 
                                                                         
Based on industry experience, full replacement of the motor appears to be
the most likely scenario. A replacement motor is scheduled to arrive on  
site November 7. The replacement motor, originally a spare for Dresden,  
was intended to be used at Quad Cities in March 1997, during a pump      
overhaul.                                                                
                                                                         
Other forced outage activities include: off-site repair of the 2B Circ   
Water Pump Motor; swapping the 3A Circ Water Pump Motor to the 2B pump;  
replacement of a CRD manual isolation valve; and repair of a flange      
(reactor side) for a Electromatic Relief Valve. Additionally, the        
licensee continues to restore Control Room ventilation to UFSAR design   
requirements.                                                            

Regional Action:

The resident inspectors have been observing the licensee's actions to    
schedule and make repairs to the various plant components noted above.

Subject: REACTOR STARTUP AFTER PLANNED SHUTDOWN FOR EQ VERIFICATION      

Discussion:

The reactor was taken critical at 5:48 pm EST on November 2 and the      
generator was placed on-line at 12:48 pm EST on November 3 following a   
planned outage to verify that certain containment electrical equipment   
was qualified to operate in post accident temperature and humidity       
(Reference PNO- III-96-064) using revised calculations. The calculations 
verified that the containment electrical equipment would operate at the  
expected temperature and humidity. The outage, which began on October 23,
lasted 10 days and 19 hours. The unit is presently at 63 per cent power  
and generator output is being increased to full load.                    

Regional Action:

The resident inspector observed the startup.
