Shippingport Atomic Power Station (PWR). Technical progress report, January 26, 1981-July 25, 1981
Description
The Shippingport Atomic Power Station was operated with the Light Water Breeder Reactor (LWBR) core primarily at high power levels (base load) until April 24, 1981, when a planned semiannual shutdown for testing and maintenance began. Station startup commended May 27, 1981. High power operation was achieved on June 4, 1981, and continued through the end of the report period, when the LWBR core had achieved 22,022 EFPH. Several brief reductions in power and the brief station shutdowns occurred during this period. Maxmum allowable thermal power continued to be 80% of 236.6 MW thermal with reactor coolant flow at 100%, coolant pressure at 1600 psig and average temperature at 5210F
