Unit.1 began this inspection period in Mode 5, cold shutdown. The unit ?.

was brought critical at 10:05 a.m. on-June 14, 1990, and Mode 1, power:

operation, was reached at 3:05 p.m. on June 18, 1990. Unit 1 experienced F a reactor trip from 15 percent power at 4:10 a.m. on June 20, 1990, on a '

loss of power to all four reactor coolant pumps. The unit was again brought critical and the main generator breaker was closed on June 21, 4 l 1990, at 7:10 p.m. This breaker closure signaled the.end of_the second .

. refueling outage which lasted 84 days. The outage was_ origin _ ally ;

scheduled for 65 days. A significant achievement of the outage was the- .

very smallitotal personnel exposure of 59 man-Rem. On June 28. 1990, the !

unit tripped from .70 percent power at 5:54 a.m. when an electrohydraulic l

, ' control (EHC)-line ruptured on a result of pressure oscillations in the L EHC system. The unit was again taken critical on June ~ 28, 1990, and the i; generator breaker was closed on June 30, 1990. At the end of this l' -

On June 9,1990, cross-calibrations of the RCS RTDs were ~being performed in Unit I when one RTD was.found to be malfunctioning. A maintenance work; request (MWR) was issued to replace the RTD. ~During. implementation of the MWR, fit was discovered that the o-ring gasket on the Conax junction box cover was missing. Since Unit I was in Mode 3, only 22 of 42 RTDs could be-inspected on that day. Twelve were found to be' missing o-rings. The remaining 20 RTDs were inspected the next day, and an additional 10 were

?' identified as not having o-rings. An inspection was-initiated of the 6 accessible RTDs outside the biological shield in Unit 2, which was'at 100 percent power. All 6 RTDs had the o-ring installed. The licensee initiated a documentation review and determined that 10 of the 22 RTDs with documentation review included Unit 2 and disclosed only one'MWR associated with an RTD. Based on this inconclusive documentation review, the licensee conservatively decided to reduce power in Unit 2 and perform-an/ inspection of all RTDs. Unit 2 was taken offline on Monday, June 13, 1990, at 10:30 p.m. ' Inspections were then performed and it was determined that 6 of._42 RTDs were found with missing o-rings. All missing o-rings were replaced during the course of the inspection The' narrow-range RTDs are used for the overtemperature delta T'(OTDT) and i overpower delta T (0PDT) reactor trip functions. The wide-range RTDs-are

",

.used for postaccident monitoring (PAM) and_ remote shutdown. The concern raised by lack of the o-ring was that, during a postulated high energy line break accident, if the junction box is unsealed, moisture may enter an ,

RTD_ assembly.and degrade'the insulation resistance of the RTD cable. Such degradation would introduce additional errors'into the RCS temperature measurement which have not been accounted for in the safety analyse Under these circumstances, indicated ' temperature could be lower than actual, a nonconservative error for OPD A review was conducted of the Westi_nghouse. transient analysis data of the steam line break events for which the narrow range RTDs provide the primary trip signa From this review, it was determined that the maximum time needed is approximately 14 seconds for an OPDT trip which occurs from a single-ended steam line break. During this perind, containment' pressure reaches less than 8 psig. The licensee has conducted testing of similar thr6 ded connections without 0-rings and demonstrated that integrity of these connections would be maintained at pressures up to 15 psig for short periods but wel' in excess of 14 seconds. This testing was performed to address previous concerns with the use of flexible cable and involved pressurizing-the entire RTD assembly with nitrogen to 50 psi. The RTDs were, therefore, expected to perform their trip function successfully based on the test results, the low pressure, and the short period of time involve !

n - Although the trip function-of th'e RTDs was shown to have been operable, '

L the long-term operability of the~ wide-range RTOs could not be assured, L This'1ong-term operability is required to monitor the RCS during l postaccident monitoring. The licensee, therefore, notified the NRC of.the L ' failure to maintain the environmental qualification of three wide-range ';

E cold: leg and'one wide-range hot leg RTDs for postaccident monitoring per ,

? Technical Specification-(TS) 3.3.3.6.' '

ly

'The licensee initiated a detailed review of this problem to determine the

. .

i root caus This review included both a review of maintenance'and b .

construction records and a review of the Environmental-Qualification (EQ) .

Program by a consultant. These reviews were expected.to address both the l L ' apparent relation to frequency of opening the assemblies for testing /

h maintenance and the potential contribution from a lack of-a clear document -l trail'regarding vendor information. The broad scope EQ review will review ,

how EQ requirements are translated into the configuration control process, d how EQ' requirements are implemented, EQ-related training, and the

-

!

P EQ-related data bases and their control. It will also include a review of'

l - approximately 200 components for both documentation and field verification. These reviews are scheduled to be completed by the end of August 1990, l

The licensee's response to the identification of the missing-o-rings was i prompt,and followup actions were conservative. The licensee immediately f - addressed the concern for operability of the reactor protectior system and i- subsequently considered the potential for broad scope implication At 4:10 a.m. , on June 20,'1990, Unit I tripped from 15 percent power. The ,

licensee had successfully completed the-turbine overspeed. test and was ~

i! attempting to parallel the turbine on.the grid when the generator breaker H tripped open and a transformer: blackout occurred. This caused a loss of

- power-to the switchyard breakers and the auxiliary bus supply breaker This in turn caused a le a of power'to-all four reactor coolant pumps, which then gave a reactor trip, No. 11-emergency diesel generator started and sequenced properly onto the bus (EIA) supplied by the auxiliary bu '

H The-other two diesels were associated with buses being supplied by the standby. transformer which remained energized. Feedwater isolation and

, auxiliary feedwater actuation-occurred with no complications. Mainsteam

&' isolation valves were manually closed to limit coollawn until power was

@b restored to the reactor coolant pumps. The technical support center (TSC)

diesel'(nonsafety-related) started but did not load. .This caused a loss

,% '

of power to the digital rod position indication (DRPI), and the operators, f' therefore, had to emergency borate for about 15 minutes, at which time power was restored and it was verified that the rods were in, Auxiliary V feedwater actuated on lo-lo steam generator level. The main steam isolation valves were closed manually to limit cooldown. Source range

problems. In addition, a redundant pole failure relay of.a diverse-type hadinot operated, giving further evidence that an actual breaker: failure -

,had'not occurred. The cause of the trip was determined to be a' result of l erratic _ operation of the Westinghouse SLB relay due to drift of the I-L set) sints. With respect to the TSC diesel, the underfrequency/overvoltage module breaker was found to be defective and subject to tripping due to vibration. Both relays were replaced, t

On June'28, 1990, at 5:54 a.m., Unit 1 tripped from 76 percer a result of a ruptured-EHC line to the No. 3 turbine throttle' v- plant systems responded as required. Just prior to the trip, cont. 9 mom -[

operators-noted a load swing of about 50-60 megawatts. Plant opert ..

were sent out to investigate and found severe oscillations occurring.in -

-the No. 1. governor valve. The EHC lines to the No. 3 throttle valve.and

.

m the No I governor valve are connected to a common line. It was subsequently determined that the oscillations of the No. 1-governor valve caused the EHC, line to the No. 3 throttle valve to rupture. The "

oscillations were found to have resulted from a loose lead on the No. 1-governor-valve control _ circuitry. This valve had been subject to maintenance during the recent outage. The licensee was continuing its investigation of this trip at the close of this inspection perio . Li_censee Action on Previous Inspection Findings (92701)

.During a previous inspection, NRC inspectors reviewed the results of selected preoperational tests. Portions of three tests could not be L reviewed prior.to initial Unit 1 fuel loa The' procedures were to be

performtd during initial plant startup. Because final review of the ,

test results could not be performed at that time, the subject area wa identified as an open item (498/8739-09).

During this inspection period, the three procedures were reviewed for compliance with the following attributes: (1) test results met specified L acceptance criteria; (2) problems encountered were documented and resolved; and (3)-test results were properly reviewed by the licensee. The three L procedures reviewed were: (1) 1-RC-P-11, Revision 1, " Pressurizer Level ,
