Missed Technical Specification Surveillance - RCS Fluoride CONDITIONS PRIOR TO OCCURRENCE:

Cold Shutdown - Mode 5 DESCRIPTION OF OCCURRENCE:

At 0900 hours0.0104 days <br />0.25 hours <br />0.00149 weeks <br />3.4245e-4 months <br />, the Chemistry Department reported that contrary to Technical Specification 3.4.7, the required fluoride sample had not been taken within the allowed 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> interval. Further investigation revealed that a procedural revision issued on 9/14/77 had inadvertently deleted the fluoride sample from the sampling schedule during periods when RHR is in service. There-fore, all fluoride samples during periods when the unit was in Mode 5 were missed.

DESIGNATION OF APPARENT CAUSE OF OCCURRENCE:

This occurrence was the result of a procedural inadequacy. Fluoride sampling of the RHR system was inadvertently deleted from revision 2 of Sampling Schedule PD-3.8.020. This revision was issued on 9/14/77.

CORRECTIVE ACTION:

An immediate on-the-spot change was written to PD-3.8.020, Sampling Schedule to include the required fluoride sample when the reactor coolant system is on RHR. This on-the-spot change will be incor-porated into a permanent change by May 1, 1978.
