IDENTIFICATION OF OCCURRENCE:

was declared inoperable due to failure to perform requic2d surveillance testing The unit was in Mode 1, wirn Power (MUT) = 2467, and  !

_ Conditions Prior to Occurrence:

Load (Gross MWE) = 839.

This placed the unit in the Action Statements of Technical Specification 3.3.1.1.

The channel was bypassed to perform the required testing within one hour of the time the channel was declared inoperable.

The Instrument and Control RPS Foreman was notified that the test would have to be per-Channels 1, 3, and 4 were operable at the time RPS Channel 2 formed immediately.

was declared inoperabic.

There was a breakdown in communications Designation of Apparent Cause of Occurrence: coordinator which caused the delay in the per-between testing personnel and the test formance of ST 5030.02.
