Indian Point Unit No. 2 AEC Docket No. 50-247 Operating License DPR-26 A.O. 4-2-9 King of Prussia, Pennsylvania 19406

Dear Mr. O'Reilly:

In accordance with the requirements of Section 6.12.2(a) of the Technical Specifications of Facility Operating License No.

DPR-26, the following report is submitted!

In the course of perforrning.. periodic surveillance test PT-Mll, "Steam Line Pressure Analog.Channel Functional Test" on February 22, 1974, an inadvertent safety injection signal was generated which, by design, caused the accumulator discharge stop valves to open.

At-the time of the occurrence, the reactor was in the cold shutdown condition with the Re~idual Heat Removal System in service and a reactor coolant pressure and temperature of 150 psig and ll50F respectively.

Since the reactor coolant system was be-ing operated in the solid mode, opening of the accumulator valves pressurized the system to about 560 psig which was slightly in excess of the Technical Specification limit 'of 500 -psig for in-dicated temperatures at or below 2200F.

The pressure was promptly reduced below the 500 psig limit by operator action.

There was no damage incurred to any system or component as a result of the pressure transient of this magnitude nor was there any reason to expect any.*

Mr. Anthony Fasano of your office was informed of this occurrence by Mr. John M. Makepeace on February 22, 1974.

Very truly yours, L.Uo.. >J~,, 12_ 00~

Warren R. Cobean, Jr *.Manager Nuclear Power Generation Depart.
