VTVYS1 05000271 LER 80-6/lT EVETT DESCRIPTION AND PROBABLE CONSEQUDICES At approximately 0830, January 22, 1980, Operations personnel re-ceived a low flow alarm on the Off Gas Sampling System. Immediate in-vestigation by cognizant plant personnel determined that a flow distur-bance had occurred in the Sampling System rendering both AEOG Radiation Monitors 17-150A&B inoperable. This condition wcs contrary to the re-quirements of Tech. Spec. Table 3.2.4. The necessity to perform the action specified in Note 2 of Tech. Spec. Table 3.2.4 was precluded by restoring operation of the AEOG Radiation Monitors 17-150A&B within ap-proximately twenty minutes from event initiation. Based upon a review of Off Gas System sa=ples obtained directly following this event, it was concluded that no abnormal activity at the SJAEs occurred and that there were no adverse consequences fo the public health or safety as a result of this event. A similar occurrence was reported as RO 79-02.

CAUSE DESCRIPTION AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS The investigation into the low flow of the SJAE's Off Gas Sampling System resulted in the determination that the apparent cause of the event was due to a flow blockage. The ic=ediate corrective action con-sisted of increasing flow through the sampling system's components and clearing the blockage. The metering valve was then adjusted for normal flow and satisfactory operction of the AEOG Radiation Monitoring System was verified. No additional corrective action is envisioned at this time.
