At 0527 on June 4, 1987 Palo Verde Unit 1 was in Mode 1 (Power Operation) at 100 percent power when the Control Room Air Intake Radiation Monitor (RU-30) generated a high radiation signal and actuated the Control Room Essential Filtration System. The actuation occurred on the "B" Train and crosstripped the "A" Train as designed. All associated equipment operated properly.
Investigation of the actuation revealed that the sample pump motor was cycling off and on. Troubleshooting identified that the motor was drawing too much current causing the thermal overloads to actuate. After the thermal overloads cooled, the motor would automatically restart. As the motor cycled, the radiation monitor would generate a spurious high radiation signal. The root cause of the motor drawing too much current has been identified to be a malfunctioning air sample pump.
The motor and the radiation monitor utilize the same ground. Cycling of the motor causes electrical noise to pass from the common ground to the radiation monitor which generates a spurious high radiation signal.
As corrective action to prevent recurrence the ground to the motor and radiation monitor will be separated and the air pump will be replaced.
Although Control Room Essential Filtration actuations have occurred previously due to radiation monitor spikes, no events have been reported where the cycling of the sample pump motor caused an actuation; 8707140055 870702 NAC Form 344 PDR ADOCK 05000528 PDR

At 0527 on June 4, 1987 Palo Verde Unit 1 was in Mode 1 (Power Operation) at 100 percent power when the Control Room Air Intake Radiation Monitor (RU-30) (IL)
(RI) generated a high radiation signal and actuated the Control Room Essential Filtration System (VI) . This was identified by control room annunciation (ANN).
The actuation accurred on the "B" train and crosstripped the "A" train as designed. All associated essential ~quipment operated properly. RU-30 was reset at 0554 on June 4, 1987. The event lasted approximately 27 minutes.
Equipment failure and low sample flow alarms were received for RU-30 in the control room at approximately the same time as the Engineered Safety Features actuation. 'ased on this information the Control Room Operators (utility-licensed) declared RU-30 inoperable. Grab samples taken after the event revealed no abnormal radiation levels.
Due to the inoperability of the other Control Room Air Intake Radiation Monitor (RU-29) the Control Room Essential Filtration System was placed in the recirculation mode as required by Technical Specification ACTION requirements.
RU-29 had been declared inoperable to perform routine preventive maintenance.
Investigation of the actuation revealed that the sample pump (P) motor (MO) was cycling off and on. Troubleshooting identified that the motor was drawing too much current causing the thermal overloads to actuate. After the thermal overloads cooled, the motor would automatically restart. As the motor cycled the radiation monitor would generate a spurious high radiation signal. The root cause of the motor drawing excessive current has been attributed to a malfunctioning air sample pump. The pump is a Roots Pump (Model 8AF22). An analysis will be performed on the sample pump to determine the root cause of the malfunction.
The motor and the radiation monitor utilize the same ground. When the motor cycles, electrical noise passes from the common ground to the radiation monitor causing the monitor to generate a spurious high radiation signal. The monitor is a Kaman Monitor (Model f/952105-002).
As corrective action to prevent recurrence the ground to the motor and radiation monitor-will be separated for RU-29 and 30 in Unit 1. The effects of the grounding changes will be monitored to determine if the ele'ctrical noise has been reduced. An evaluation will then be conducted to determine if the modifications should be incorporated in Units 2 .and 3., The air sample pump will also be replaced.
The Control Room Essential Filtration System actuated as designed for a high radiation signal and all required equipment operated properly. Based on samples taken after the event, no abnormal radiation levels existed therefore, this event had no impact on the health and safety of the public.
