ACCIDENT RADIATION MONITOR SPECIAL REPORT Descri tion of Event On May 23, 1987, at 1830, the Turbine Building Vent Stack Wide Range Gas Monitor (WRGM) 8 RM-3536-1 was declared inoperable due to loss of process flow. This accident monitor is identified in Technical Specification Table 3.3-10 as Item 23. The compensatory actions required by Technical Specification 3.3.3.11 to allow continued effluent releases are.'1) grab sampling every 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and (2) continuous sampling with auxiliary sampling equipment.
These compensatory actions were performed while the monitor was inoperable and all analysis results were within specified limits. The monitor was repaired and returned to service on June 4, 1987. The monitor was out of service for greater than 7 days; thus, a Special Report is required to be submitted per the Technical Specifications.
Cause The cause of this event was equipment failure> the inoperability of the monitor was due to a shorted flow sensing element (85) in the uKurz" system. During repair, additional problems were found with the current, profiler, and averager cards associated with the flow element, as described below. The shorted element had caused subsequent damage throughout its loop.
Corrective Actions The new flow element and its associated current card were adjusted and calibrated. The surveillance test for the equipment was run, but it failed. Troubleshooting on May 31 revealed a defective profiler card in the loop. The profiler card was replaced, and the new card was determined to also be defective. Both the new profiler card and an averager card were repaired on June 1. The cards were re-installed on June 2. The surveillance test was successfully completed on June 3, and the monitor was declared operational on June 4, 1987.
