. ATTACHMENT 1 e SURRY POWER STATION, UNIT 1 DOCKET NO: 50*-280 REPORT NO: 80-046/03L-O EVENT DATE: 08-09-80 TITLE OF EVENT: UNAUTHORIZED HOGGING OPERATION

1. Description of Event:

During start-up of unit one the Containment Vacuum System Steam Ejector was placed in service without obtaining a containment gaseous release form. This is a violation of Technical Specification 6.4.D and is reportable in accordance with Technical Specificat~on 6.6.2.b.(2).

2. Probable Consequences and Status of Redundant Equipment:

A valid gaseous waste discharge form for purging operations was in effect at the time of the hogging operation. The ejector was secured at 13 psia and health physics obtained a sample for analysis.

The release did not exceed the Technical Specification limits.

Therefore the health and safety of the public were not affected.

3. Cause:

Operator error

4. Immediate Corrective Action:

Terminated Steam Ejector Operation

5. Subsequent Corrective Action:

None required

6. Action Taken to Prevent Recurrence:

Instructions will be provided to the operating staff to insure the appropri-ate documentation is accomplished when hogging the containment.

7. Generic Implications:

None
