D. Description of defect, deficiency, or failure to comply: _

We are infomed by Westinghouse that the heating of the S. team Generator level reference legs following a high energy line break inside contairment was not taken into account during the original Westinghouse analysis.

An increase in reference leg water column temperature will result in a decrease of the water column density with a con-

- sequent apparent increase in the indicated steam generator water level (i.e., apparent level exceeding actual level).

The error could result in a delay in reacning the tw Steam Generator Level Reactor trip. This could occur when the tem-peratures in the containment are in excess of 1100F.

E. Date of determination cf reportability:

June 27, 1979 F. Similar components, activities, ur services:

North Anna Unit 1, Surry Units 1 and 2 G. Corrective action which has been, is being or will be taken, the individual resconsible and the lengtn of time to cccplete the action:

The prcblem is being analyzed by Westinghouse to detemine the necessary actions to be taken, if any, to insure that these errors are accounted for and that the ap;ropriate safety system actions will occur as required in One safety analysis for Onis plant. The analysis is beir.g per fcmed as ex:enditicusly as pessiole, the results should be available witnin a very snort period of time.

H. Other information:

We feel tnat no imediate action is required at this time, a final report should be available as a part of the 30 day report on this item.
