Reportable Occurrence 335-78-7 Licensee Event Report Page Twoanalysis.
his is based on measurements made by a consultant in mid-January, 1978.
The consultant reported the results on February 3, 1978.
Although the measured response times are greater than 5 seconds, they are less than t.he revised value of 8 seconds contained in a proposed Technical Specification amendment which has been submitted to.the 'NRC (see "Cause De-scription").
This is the first occurrence of this type at St. Lucie Unit l.
(335-78-7)
==Cause==5-second response time assumed in the NSSS setpoint analysis.
As a result of the parametric uncertainties and the measure-ment difficulties, the NSSS vendor had been requested in 1977 to re-evaluate the appropriate setpoints using' response time greater than 5 seconds.
In December, 1977 the NSSS vendor responded with an evaluation that supported response times of up to 8 seconds.
A proposal to incorporate the 8-second value in Table 3 3-2 was forwarded to the NRC by letter L-78-39 dated, February 2,
1978..
All RTDs tested'ad response times less than 8 seconds, so no further action beyond the Technical Specification change proposal, is planned at this time.
