-
Report Number Subject LER-78-034/04L-0 ETS requirements on maximum heat rejection rates.
LER-78-035/03L-0 Service Water Pump No. 23 broken shaft.
LER-78-036/03L-0 No. 22 Charger Pump Cylinder exhibited leakage.
LER-78-037/03L-0 No. 21 Emergency Diesel Generator air start motors found inoperable.
LER-78-038/04T-0 Precipitation sample anomaly.
b.
Onsite Licensee Event Followup All the LER's listed in Paragraph a above were selected
>
for onsite followup.
The inspector verified that the reporting requirements of Technical Specifications, Station Administrative Orders No. 124 and No. 125 had been met, that appropriate corrective action had been taken, that the event was reviewed by the Technical Engineering Director and that continued operation of the facility was conducted in conformance with the Technical Specification limits.
The inspector's findings regarding the licensee events were acceptable, unless otherwise noted below:
LER 78-034/04L-0 The licensee received, on February 15,1979, Amendment No. 47 to the Facility License.
The amendment deletes from the TS the method for calculating the rate of heat rejection to the river.
LER 78-037/03L-0 The inspector reviewed the licensee's action which included review of Maintenance Work Requests (MWR's) 202 and 203, and Preventive Maintenance Procedures 2PMSA and 2PM-A.
The inspector requested verification of the cleaning fluids.
