Mr. James P. O'Reilly LER No.83-012 Page Two March 10, 1983 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EVENT On February 10, 1983, at 2030 hours0.0235 days <br />0.564 hours <br />0.00336 weeks <br />7.72415e-4 months <br />, with the Plant in Mode 1, the flow indicator for Steam Generator "A" Feedwater Flow (FI-477) failed low as compared to redundant channels. The channel was declared inoperable, and the associated bistables were placed in the tripped condition at 2125 hours0.0246 days <br />0.59 hours <br />0.00351 weeks <br />8.085625e-4 months <br /> in accordance with Action Statement 6 of Technical Specification 3.3.1, Table 3.3-1, Item 14.

PROBABLE CONSEQUENCES There were no adverse consequences as a result of this event since the downscale failure of the instrument channel was in the safe direction. A reactor trip would still have occurred with a Steam Generator Water Level Low in coincidence with a Steam Flow /

Feedwater Flow mismatch.

CAUSE(S) OF THE OCCURRENCE The cause of this occurrence is attributed to the failure of the power supply circuit board FQY-477. An electronic component failure on this circuit board caused the output to slowly decrease with a constant input.

IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE ACTIONS TAKEN The instrumentation channel for Steam Generator "A" Feedwater Flow was placed in the tripped condition within one (1) hour in compliance with Action Statement 6 of Technical Specification 3.3.1. The output of power supply circuit board (FQY-477) was found to slowly decrease with a constant input. The circuit board was replaced and the channel returned to operable status on February 11, 1983, upon the satisfactory completion of the appropriate surveillance test procedure.

ACTION TAKEN TO PREVENT RECURRENCE The licensee plans no additional action in regard to this event other than the normal surveillance testing.
