Licgnsee Event Rep.

50-244/'05-10 Measures to Prevent Recurrence:

The operator involved was reprimanded for his error. The procedure used during error committal was reviewed and no inadequacies were noted in the procedure. However, a procedure change was reviewed by the Plant Operations Review Committee and was recommended for approval on June 23, 1975 to eliminate procedural options relative to the operation of MOV-.871A and MOV-871B.

In addition, the Operations Engineer has issued a memorandum to all operators to once again impress upon them the importance. of adhering to procedures, and stressed the importance of verification of status lights on safeguards equipment when assuming control board duties.

Additional Factors cont'd.)

2 SI pumps fails to start, one of the "C" SI pump discharge MOV's will automatically close to direct flow to the affected loop. Emergency Procedure E-1.1, Safety Injection Actuation, directs operators to observe measured variables and status indicators to verify proper automatic actions, and to perform any necessary actions manually. In doing so, if either "A" or "B" SI pump were to fail to start, the required manual action would be performed to provide flow to the affected loop from the "C" pump, namely to open the appropriate MOV.
