Thomas E. Murley. Director, NRR Stewart D. Ebneter, Regional Administrator, RII FROM:

Edward L. Jordan, Director, AEOD

SUBJECT:

HUMAN PERFORMANCE STUDY REPORT - NORTH ANNA 2, 4/16/93 I have prov*ided a copy of the subject report directly ta you for information in addition to the normal distribution ta members of your staff because of two issues identified by the report.

1.

This event represents an additional instance in which operators inappropriately bypassed an £SF, the Auxiliary Feedwater System, after a valid initiation during the response to an event.

The auxiliary feed system was inoperable for 18 minutes until the discrepancy was identified and the equipment was restarted to operability.

2.

A man-machine interface weakness was noted in which the operator at the i

.J controls needs a spotter at important recorders to provide readings.

In r

<. one case this l!d ta...a flow adjustment to the wrong steam generator due J to a con111un1 cat 1 on error.

The first issue is further evidence of a THI lesson that has faded despite an Information Notice last year.

The second 1ssue comes at a t1me that V1rg1nia Power has determined that earlier control room man-machine upgrades at Surry are no longer necessary.

I have asked my staff to check with the PM of Surry and North Anna regarding this particular HF issue.
