Subject: UNIT 2 SHUTDOWN FOR REFUELING                                   

Discussion:

On March 23, 1996, the licensee shut down Unit 2 for a scheduled 45 day  
refueling outage. The shutdown was initiated by a reactor trip from 20   
percent power to verify the capability of the control rods to scram. The 
unit experienced some equipment problems after the reactor trip including
failure of the main generator output breaker to open automatically, a    
source range nuclear instrument indicated low after energization, and the
individual rod position indication for two control rods did not agree    
with actual rod position. The motor-driven AFW pumps received an         
automatic start signal when the main feedwater pumps tripped as a result 
of the opening of the reactor trip breakers (P-4). The turbine-driven AFW
pump started as a result of low- low steam generator water level after   
the trip.                                                                
                                                                         
Major activities planned include RCP motor replacement and the 10 year   
ISI reactor vessel inspection.
