MB Miscellaneous Maintenance issues M8.1 Malfunction of Mode Selector Switch Insoection Scone (Insoection Procedure 69001)

The inspector reviewed the safety evaluation of the mode selector switch modification, the minutes of the RC meetings, reactor and maintenance logs, and interviewed staf Observations and Findinas On November 4,1997, the licensee experienced a failure of the reactor mode switch when performing a pulse. The switch failed to shift between the normal and high range signals when rotated from its manual to pulse settin This was reported to the NRC on November 5,1998, by telephone, fax and subsequent by a letter dated November 13,199 The licensee halted operations, evaluated the consequences, investigated the failure, identified the cause, and took corrective action The consequences of the failure had no effect on the physical performance of the pulse which was normal nor the recorded fuel temperature rise and timer scram expected for a standard pulse. However, no valid indication for peak or integrated power was rccorded at the console and the right safety channel showed a trip on reactor power. This along with an 11-ms period recorded by the digital data acquisition system connected to the right safety channel confirmed that the channel was still connected to the ion chamber used in steady state mode rather than the high range chamber for pulsing. The inspector corroborated the licensees conclusion that the system failed safe with a scram at 110-kw, that it did not operate outside its normal envelope and there was no safety concern for the publi The cause of the failure was the rear wafer becoming mechanically misaligned due to loosening, overtime, of the rear case bolt nuts. These bolts also held the internal wafer assembly in alignmen The licensee processed a modification to the mode switch to add a nut and lock washer on each bolt to hold the wafer assemblies in place internally, independent of the rear case nuts. The modification was reviewed and approved by the RC following their 50.59 procedures. Updated SAR drawings were made and post installation testing was performed to ensure proper operatio _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .

8 Conclusions The licensee evaluation, investigation, identification, and corrective actions of the mode switch failure were as reported to the NRC and satisfied regulatory requirements M8.1 Reactor Power Calibration Concern Insoection Scoce (Insoettion Procedure 69001)

The inspector reviewed the reactor thermal power calibration records, reactor procedures, the minutes of the RC meetings, reactor and maintenance logs, and interviewed staf Observations and Findinas

)

During a power calibration performed September 30,1997, at 90-kW indicated l

on the liner channel, the licensee noted that the readings on the left and right I safety channels were 84-kW and 86-kW respectively. The calculate actual

'

power level for the run was 92 +/- 1.5kW. Therefore, although the actual  !

settings of each safety channel were less than 110-kW as required, the two channels red low by 8-kW and 6-kW which was a larger discrepancy than l expected based on historical operating experience for this reactor. The licensee was concerned that the discrepancy was in such a direction that non-conservative settings may have been possible in that the safety channel could read lower than the linear channel by a margin greater than the difference between the scram set point and 110-kW, the maximum licensed powe '

This was reported to the NRC on October 1,1997, by telephone, fax and subsequently by letter dated October 22,199 The licensee halted operations, evaluated the consequences, investigated the cause, and took remedial action The inspector confirmed the licensee's evaluation that at no time since the last power calibration, July 31,1997, was the reactof operated in excess of its licensed power or in an unanalyzed condition, and that there was no safety significance to the reported condition The licensee's investigation identified two items that may have effected the July 31,1997, power calibration. First, the July 31,1997, calibration was a day after a three hour run at 100-kW, thus the' core still contained xenon fission product poisons. Second, after the fuelinspection performed June 3-4,1997, a number of the fuel elements may not have been fully seated. Reactor flux profile during short high power runs would therefore tilt towards the west side of the core making the safety channels read low relative to the linear channe . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

The inspector verified that the reseating of the suspeccted elements on L August 5,1997 and the calibrations performed September 30, October 2, and I October 7 resulted in the three power indication channels agreeing with the rneasured power and between the three channels themselves. Additionally changes were made to the operating procedures directing the operators to monitor and record the magnitude of the differences between the channels and j l

'

when operating above 50-kW, to shut down, if the magnitude is greater than that between the scram set point and 110-kw. The RD is also required to review the data following a power calibration and to post the selected set point margins on the status board. These actions were confirmed by the inspector.

l- Conclusions The licensee's cessation of operations, and evaluation, investigation, and remedial actions of the power calibration concern were as reported to the NRC and satisfied regulatory requirement I til. Enaineerina
