gTTACilMENT TO LER 79-002/03L-0 During normal operation, while performing Operations Surveillance Test, F-ST-5Q titled Flow Bias Functional Test, Average Power Range Monitor (APRM)

"B" was found with the flow biased portion of the instrument inoperable.

Re-gardless of the flow signal present, the scram trip setpoint remained clamped at 1174. The instrument was bypassed and the other APRM channels were verified operabic in accordance with F-ST-5Q.

The minimum number of operable instruments specified in Technical Specification, App :ndix A, Table 3.1-1 was always met.

Investigation revealed that an operational amplifier in the flow bias portion

. _ the instrument had failed. The printed circuit board containing this circuit was replaced and the instrument was verified operational by performing instrument maintenance procedure, F-IMP-7.6 titled Neutron Monitoring System LPRM and APRM Instrument Maintenance. The instrument was returned to service.
