Mr. Robert W. Reid, Chief Operating Reactors Branch 4 Lice~se Nos. DPR-32 DPR-37

Dear Mr. Rusche:

In accordance with Technicai Specification 4.14.C.l for Surry Power Station, this report describes an occurrence during which the cooling

  • water temperature at the discharge control structure exceeded an average rate of 3 degrees F per hour.

Ort December 19, 1976 from approximately 2100 to 2200 hours0.0255 days <br />0.611 hours <br />0.00364 weeks <br />8.371e-4 months <br /> the rate of change of water temperature at the discharge control structure was 6 degrees F per hou.r.

From 0400 to 0500 on December 20, -1976 the rate of change of the water temperature at the discharge control structure was 4 degrees F per hour.

The station status at the time of the event was Unit No. 1 at shutdown for refueling outage and Unit-No. 2 was maneuvering for power-escalation.

The immediate corrective action was to stop the load increase.

The.event was caused by having. three of Unit No *. 1 condenser water boxes._ :**- _

  • open for maintenance and thus not having ideal cooling water flow conditions to accomodate the power escalation rate.

Very truly yours,

@tPr-:-
