Q

I Attachment To Close-Out of Jul 29 1989 Unusual Event On July 29, 1989 at 1843 EDST with reactor power at approximately 994 full power, the Control Room received annunciator alarm C-29 (MRPI System Failure).

It was subsequently determined that the Microprocessor Rod Position Indication System (MRPI) had failed, disabling both MRPI CRTs and the plant process computer system (PPCS) rod position indication for all twenty-nine (29) control rods.

The loss of all control rod position indication placed the plant in a

condition not permitted by the plant's Technical Specifications.

At approximately 1933 EDST, July 29,

1989, a plant shutdown was commenced to comply with the plant Technical Specif ications Section 3.0.1.

At approximately 2035 EDST, July 29, 1989 the Operations Shift Supervisor declared an Unusual Event in accordance with SC-100, "Ginna Station Event Evaluation and Classification",

EAL:

Loss of Indicators, Annunciators or Alarms; Loss of Indication or Alarms requiring a plant shutdown.

All offsite notifications were made per SC-601, "Unusual Event Notification".

At approximately 0132

EDST, July 30, 1989 with the reactor subcritical, the reactor trip breakers were opened with all control rods inserted.

Because the Control Rod Position Indication System is only required by the plant technical specifications when the reactor is critical, the Operations Shift Supervisor with approval and concurrence from the plant manager, the Operations

Manager, and the Duty Engineer, declared the Unusual Event terminated at 0140
EDST, July 30, 1989 in accordance with SC-110, "Ginna Station Event Evaluation for Reducing the Classification".

All offsite agencies were notified of the termination of the Unusual Event.
