*  ' Declaration of Unusual Event:
  -

At 0215 on February 11, 1985, an Unusual Event-was declared when the

  ' East Feedwater Pump was declared inoperable. The Unit.1 Feedwater
 ' Pumps also act as' High Pressure Safety Injection Pumps for the Reactor Coolant Syste The unit was'in the process of startup_with'the reactor critical-when an alarm for high thrust bearing temperature was received in the Control Room. Investigation by Operations personnel revealed axial movement of the pump shaft and high thrust bearing temperatur A plant shutdown was initiated. The licensee performed an inspection of .the thrust bearing and pump impeller for both the east-and west pump '

The cause for the~ east pump thrust ' bearing failure is bein investigated by the license Preliminary.results indicate that

 . water contamination in the=1ube' oil may have caused.the problem. No problems were discovered on the West Feedwater Pump. The::results of an inspection of licensee maintenance efforts on the Feedwater Pumps is discussed in paragraph S . Unit 3
  '(1) Shutdown Due to Primary Coolant System Unidentified Leakage
  -

Exceeding 1.0 GPM On January;27, 1985,- while in Mode I at'1320 PST, the Licensee e determined that the unidentified leakage from the Reactor-Coolant System was 1.9 gpm,' exceeding the 1.0 gpm-Technical Specification limit. The licensee commenced the shutdown;o Unit 3 and declared an Unusual Event at 1412-PST. -The unidentified leakage was estimated to be-approximately 3.0:gpm-at 1750 PST, when the shutdown was completed. At approximatel :2000~PST, the Licensee identified the leak to'be~from the pressurizer' spray valve (3PV-100B) packing glan (2) = Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Leakage

,.   -On March 12, 1985, while in Mode'2 with the reactor critical, during the return to service following a 44 day maintenance outage, the licensee noted erratic behavior on a hotleg Resistance Teniperature; Detector (RTD) -(temperature element
'

No.112-1 which provides No. I steam generator hotleg temperature data to the Core Protection Calculator). The Licensee was.in the. process of troubleshooting the erratic behavior of the :RTD, when an Instrumentation and Control technician noted.a small amount of steam vapor coming out of . e m s-- -

the RTD fitting at approximately.1800 PST. At 2015 PST, the-Licensee determined that the steam was due to Reactor Coolant System pressure boundary leakage. .The Licensee declared an ! , Unusual Event at 2015 PST, and commenced shutdown. . Inspection' of the Licensee's corrective maintenance is discussed in paragraph 5 T (3) Inadvertent Safety' Injection Actuation Signal'(SIAS)

     ~

On March 13, 1985, at-1443 PST, during the cooldown to. repair the leaking RTD thermowell, an inadvertent Safety Injection System actuation occurred with plant pressure at 325 psig and temperature of 290 degrees F. Eighteen minutes prior to the event, the Reactor Coola'tnSystem (RCS) pressure had beenc 400.psig sad 290 degrees F and the operator was intending to

,

bypass the SIAS in accordance with normal depressurization procedures. Per normal _ cooldown procedures, the Licensee had w; been cooling down.the RCS using the Steam Bypass Control System (SBCS) to bleed steam from the steam' generators to the

   ~

condensers. _The Licensee suspects that the SBCS Bypass. valve which was being throttled to control the rate of plant cooldown may have moved slightly in the open direction and consequently increased the cooldown/depressurization rate causing the RCS pressure to drop approximately 75 psig (initiating-the Safety Injection System. actuation).

, The injection signal resulted in all Low Pressure Safety Injection pumps, 'two High' Pressure Safety' Injection (HPSI)

 , pumps, and two Charging Pumps starting. The maximum RCS pressure after the-initiation of safety injection-was 380 psi The HPSI pumps, Safety Injection tanks (SIT's), and Charging
       '

Pumps injected approximately 5500 gallons of water into the RCS. The HPSI pumps operated for 110 seconds before being

  ,

secured by the operators. The Licensee' secured'all SIT's at approximately.four minutes after_ safety injection was-initiated, and the two Charging pumps were secured within seven minutes after the SIAS. The' Licensee declared an Unusual Event at 1459 PST and secured from the Unusual Event at 1502-PS (4) Reactor Trip on March 19, 1985 On March 19,1985 at 1547 PST, while at approximately

  .17 percent power, the reactor was tripped due to high water level.in Steam Generator E089. The high steam generator water level trip occurred after feedwater regulating valve FV-111 was placed in automatic operation and a mechanical failure of the ,
,,  feedbackflinkage occurred, causing the_ valve to fail in the open position. The' unit was in the process of returning to service following an, unscheduled outage to repair packing j  leakage on pressurizer spray valve 3PV-100 No violations or deviations were identifie .

- HPSI Ch'eck Valve Repairs (Unit 3)

A HPSI cold leg injection check valve inside containment exhibited seat leakage during start-up testing. The' inspector examined repairs in progress on the valve and found them to be in accordance with approved procedures, 'RTD Thermowell (Unit 3) During Unit 3 restart following the pressurizer spray valve repair-outage,.the Licensee noticed that hot leg RTD 3TE-0112-1 was indicating approximately five percent cooler than the other hot leg RTDs. . Subsequent investigation by the Licensee revealed that RC fluid was leaking into the thermowell. The License' relocated the RTD to a spare thermowell, inserted a plug.into the defective thermowell, threaded a cap into the opening, and seal welded the cap to provide a satisfactory fluid boundary. The inspector monitored the repair efforts and found them to be in accordance with ASME Code requirements and approved procedures. .-The Licensee plans to replace-and examine the defective thermowell during the first refueling outag Chemical Volume and Control System (CVCS) Ball Valve (Unit'3) The Licensee installed a ball valve in the CVCS system between check valve S3-1901-MU-263 and three-way valve 3LV-00227A...The three-way valve directs letdown flow.to either the volume control tank (VCT) or the radwaste system. The ball valve was added so that the amount of unidentified leakage (past the three-way valve) could be reduce The inspector examined the' valve installation and documentation'and noted no discrepancie No violations or deviations were identifie " Monthly Surveillance Observations (Units 1, 2 and 3) During the period, the inspectors observed the Licensee's activities related to Unit 1 safety injection valve testing, the startup of Unit' 2

mechanical difficulties with the' refueling machine. As problems were encountered, the Licensee was very responsive in stopping work until the-problems were' resolved. The inspector identified discrepancies ~in the _

 .following two areas: Foreign ~ Material Exclusion (FME) Controls While fuel was being lowered-into the Reactor Vessel,-the refueling

  ' preparations for replacement of the refueling machine hoist load brake. 'The inspector. observed the following maintenance activities being performed on the refueling machine,and identified the following discrepancy:

The work was being conducted in a zone III Cleanliness area; _

   .however, the FME monitor for the area:was stationed too far-away to observe _the maintenance activity. -The inspector noted that the vendor representatives were not apparently observing

  : Refueling Machine Equipment Control
 .

Maintenance on the refueling machine was being controlled bya' ~ m " blanket" maintenance order (MO #84100055001) which was originally-y written for preoperational testing of the refueling machine. :The .

  -inspector observed the following deficiencies with respect =to the-procedures invoked to control this maintenance effort:
         .

1) The maintenance order did not contain all the information , required by station maintenance procedure S023-I- (Maintenance Order _Preperation, Use and Scheduling) in

    '

F that--it did not haveJcompleted information blocks p identifying the equipment as inoperative, identifying !. . applicable-technical. specifications nor~specifying

L 2)-- No Limiting Operating Condition Action Requirement (LOCAR)= P

         ,

or Equipment Deficiency Mode Restraint (EDMR).was issued o p which would procedurally ensure proper tracking of , p refueling machine operability.

c . 3) A specific writ'en t work authorization was not issued in accordance with the provisions of station operating

,

procedure S023-0-13 (Work Authorizations).

The inspector verified that. work on the refueling machine, which is not a safety-related hardware, item, was being performed technically; properly and that return to service testing was performed properl The inspector determined that the procedural departures did not- :l constitute a' violation of federal regulations due to the. fact that < i the hardware is not safety-related and that actual work and testing ) were conducted properly.

    The inspector reviewed the status.of the.NSC? program since the program, inception on July 23, 1984. It was determined that as of February 8,1985,133: Nuclear Safety Concerns had been submitted to the.NSC program. The inspector noted that the program is being
"   Lutilized ;to note ; concerns _by individuals on industrial safety and
   ,

the Licensee's management policies, as well as the Nuclear Safety concerns identified.by concerned individuals. The inspector-noted that the industrial personnel safety concerns are closed within one

   . week of. identification by the. concerned individual and the Nuclear (Plant Equipment) Safety Concerns, which-in some' cases have. required engineering. evaluation by the-licensee, take'on the average'about-s
