SUBJECT:

REACTOR TRIP AND SAIITY INJECTION This supplements information previously submitted in PNO-II-79-1.

Subsequent to reactor trip and safety injection the maxis:um plant cooldown rate in the hot ics exceeded the coolcown limit by 10F in 30 ninutes. An engineering 7 valuation of the cooldown rate is being performed by the licensee.

Reactor coolant subcooling was maintained during the transient with a minimun pressure of 1760 psig with a 480*F coolant tenperature.

-Grab samples taken in the A and B erhanst stacks indicated 10% and 4% of allow-able release concentrations respectively.

The plant is proceding to cold shutdown using normal cooldown methods in prepara-tion for a refueling outage.

Media interest is expected.

The Licensee has issued a news release.

The Coc=:issioners will be briefed at 5:30 p.c:. today in an c,pm meeting. The ce=onwealth of Virginia has been notified.
