  • Surry Power Station, Unit 1 Docket No. 50-280 Report No. 78-020/03L-O Event Date: 07-06-78 Replaced Snubber
1. Description of Event:

On 7/6/78, during zero power physics testing, while performing PT-39A, snubber 1-RH-HSS-10 was observed with air bubbles suspended in the reservoir fluid. A closer investigation revealed_that the bubbles appeared to be coming out of the fluid line connecting the reservoir to the valve block; This is reportable in accordance with Technical Specification 6.6.2.b.(2).

2. Probable Consequences of Event:

The problem was discovered and corrected before power escalation began.

More importantly, the snubber was still capable of performing its intended function in the 11 as-found 11 condition.' Therefore, the health and safety of the public was not affected by this occurrence.

3. Cause of Event:

The air bubbles may have appeared due to the reduced pressure in contain-ment. The unit was free of air when reinstalled after functional testing.

4. Immediate Corrective Action:

Although the snubber was considered operable, it was replaced with a shop spare as a conservative and prudent maintenance practice.

5. Scheduled Corrective Action:

. Since the snubber was replaced, no additional corrective action was neces-sary.

6. Actions Taken to Prevent Recurrence:

None.

7. Generic Implications:

This condition has not appeared in other snubbers in the system and therefore is not considered a generic problem.

Surry Power Station, Unit e, nocket No: 50-280

  • Report No: 78-017/03L-0
    • Event Date: 6-30-78 Irregularities in Use of Procedure Deviations*
1. Description of Event:

When presented to the Station Nuclear Safety and Operating Committee on 6-30-78 for review, procedure deviations for four electrical maintenance pro-cedures and two periodic test procedures displayed irregularities in handling; specifically, the deviations, while not altering the intent of the individual procedures, had not been approved in writing by a Licensed Senior Operator prior to implementation. On detailed investigation it was determined that a Licensed Senior Operator had been consulted, and had concurred in the necessity and method of deviation prior to implementation, however, these facts were not support by the written documentation. This condition is contrary to Technical Specification 6 .4 .D. and is reported in accordance with Technical Specification 6.6.2.b. (3).

The unit was in refueling shutdown.

2. Probable Consequences/Status of Redundant Systems:

The four electrical maintenance procedures covered preventive and corrective maintenance to motor operators for valves and performance of the procedures in-volved coordinating with the operations personnel. The periodic test covered surveillance requirements for elements of the fire protection system and like-wise required specific coordination with operations personnel to obtain satis-factory results. All necessary safety precautions were observed and the intent of the procedures was not altered. The health and safety of the general public were not affected.

3. Cause:

Personnel conducting the procedures incorrectly assumed that since verbal concurrence was given, the documentation of the deviation could be completed coincident with final sign-off of the respective procedures.

4. Immediate Corrective Action:

Upon review of the affected procedures, the St~tion Nuclear Safety and Operating Committee ascertained* that the matters of prior consultation with a Senior Operator had in fact been met although not substantiated by documentation ..

5. Scheduled Corrective Action:

All station maintenance personnel have been specifically re-instructed, at scheduled training sessions on the requirements to be met when procedure deviations are deemed necessary.

e Surry Power Station, Unit 1 Docket No: 50-280 Report No: 78-017/03L-O Event Date: 6-30-78 Irregularities in Use of Procedures Deviations (Cont'd:;)

6. Actions Taken to Prevent Recurrence:

The actions taken in 5. above will prevent recurrence,

7. Generic Implications:

None.
