NPF-51 Docket No.
STN 50-529 Special Report No. 2-SR-87-002-01 This Special Report is being submitted pursuant to Technical Specification (T.S.) 3.3.3.9 ACTION 42 b and T.S. 6.9.2 to report an event in which a hi range noble gas activity monitor (RU-144) was inoperable for greater than 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />.
The 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> limit for operability was exceeded at approximately 0245 MST on February 22, 1987.
Pursuant to T.S. 3.3.3.9 ACTION 42 a the Preplanned Alternate Sampling Program was,initiated to monitor the plant ventilation system.
At approximately 0245 MST on February 19,
- 1987, Palo Verde Unit 2 was in Mode 5
(COLD SHUTDOWN) for a planned Surveillance Outage when RU-144 was taken out of service for maintenance due to chattering contacts in the low voltage power supply.
Troubleshooting conducted under an authorized work document revealed that the low voltage power supply was not performing its intended function.
As immediate corrective action, the low voltage power supply was replaced.
The cause of the low voltage power supply failure has been evaluated and determined to be a
normal component failure.
To return RU-144 to service, Quarterly Functional Test (36ST-9SQ04) was successfully performed.
The monitor was declared operable at 1330 on February 24, 1987.
The monitor was unavailable for 5 days, 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br /> and 45 minutes.
