TOLEDO EDISON COMPANY DAVIS-BESSE NUCLEAR PO'.lER STATION UNIT ONE SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION FOR LER NP-33-79-10 DATE OF EVENT: January 10, 1979 FACILITY: Davis-Besse Unit 1 ipENTIFICATION OF OCCURRENCE: Containment Hydrogen Analyzer Channel 2 inoperabic Conditions Prior to Occurrence:

The unit was in Mode 1, with Power (MWT) = 2162, and Lond (Gross MWE) = 707.

pescription of Occurrence: On January 10, 1979, at 1750 hours0.0203 days <br />0.486 hours <br />0.00289 weeks <br />6.65875e-4 months <br />, during performance of ST 5065.01, "Containmu,t Hydrogen Vessel Atmosphere Hydrogen Analy.mr Calibra-tion Procedure", it was determined that Channel 2 (AIT-5028) was inoperabic.

The hydrogen analyzer would not indiente any concentration of hydrogen when the span gas was introduced.

This occurrence placed the unit.in the Action Statement of Technical Specifications 3.3.3.6 in Modes 1, 2, and 3, and 3.6.4.1 in Modes 1 and 2, which require the operability of both containment hydrogen analyzers.

Both of these Action Statements require that the inoperable channel be restored to operabic status within 30 days.

Channel 1 of the containment hydrogen analyzer was operable throughout the inopera-bility of Channel 2.

Designation of Apparent Cause of Occurrence: The cause of the failure om the con-tainment hydrogen analyzer was found to be a defective zener diode in the milli-vo?t converter which converts the analyzer output into a usable signal for display on the recorder.

Analysis of Occurrence: There was no danger to the health and safety of the public or to unit personnel.

Containment Hydrogen Analyzer Channel 1 was operable during the period that Channel 2 was inoperable.

In addition, the containment hydrogen analyzers are used only af ter a loss of coolant accident has occurred.

Corrective _ Action:

The defective zener diode was replaced under Instrument and Control Work Order 129-79, and Containment Hydrogen Analyzer Channel 2 returned to service on January 12, 1979.

During re-installation of the millivolt converter, an analyzer output lead was discovered to have its insulation split very near the terminal lug.

This was also repaired under Work order 129-79, but did t cause the failure of the zener diode, or the inoperability of the analyzer.

Failure Data: There have been no previously reported f ailures of the containment hydrogen analyzers.
