SUMMARY

OF CPERATING EXPERIENCE The reactor achieved initial criticality at C437 on March 23, 1978.

The reactor tripped on March 29, 1978. During ES testing of I channel and 1 group of reactor building isolation and cooling, the alternate pcwer supply to 2-lV Vital Bus tripped. Due to a blown fuse, the "A" inverter feeding 2-lV Vital Bus also tripped. This caused a total loss of the 2-lV Vital Bus.

In that we were in a 3 out of 4 Reactor Coolant ump combination and the RC-PI A monitor is fed from 2-lV Vital Bus, the reactor tripped due to sensing a 0-2 Reactor Coolant Pump ccabination.

Also, on the loss of 2-IV Vital Bus the electromatic relief valve failed in the open posi tion.

In approximately 2 minutes the plant blew down to less than 1600#. The pressure bicwdown was ccmoounded by the loss of one-half of the Control Room Nuclear Instrumentation, which is fed fecm 2-lV Vital Bus. Safety Injection initiated at 16004 and the plant continued depressurizing to 11004. Approx-imately 5 minutes into the transient the alternate pcwer supply to 2-lV Vital Bus was reenergi:ed..hich caused the electrcmagnetic relief valve to shut which stopped the plant depressurization.

As a result of Safety Injection borated water from the Borated Water Storage Tank and Sodium Hydroxide from the Sodium Hydroxide Tank were injected into the Reactor Coolant System (RCS). T1e highest sodium concentration seen in the RCS was 430 ppm. The RCS was placed on cleanup by using the Letdown Demineralizers.

While cleaning up the RCS it was deternined that the chloride concentration in the RCS was at 2.3 ppm which was outside of the transient limit.

The chicride contamination was determined to have come from the Sodium Hydroxide Tank. However, the chloride concentration was within the specification limits for the Sodium Hydroxide Tank. A cooldown was commenced in accordance with the Technical Specifications.

Both sodium and chlorides continued to be cleaned up by use of the Letdown Demin-eralizer. Both sodium and chloride concentrations were returned to within ap-propriate limits. An engineering evaluation was performed to assess the chloride impact on the structural integrity of the RCS prior to heatup. On March 31, 1978, the cleai.ap was still in progress.

SAFETY RELATED MAINTENANCE On March 13, 1978 the RC-P2A clutch assembly failed and was removed for inspection and repair / replacement.

On March 15, 1978 due to a potential loose part in the OTSG - part of the Special Inscrumentation Package - the plant was cooled down and 'recairs were made.
