SUPPLDENTA?Ji INF0FF.ATION 50'302/79-023/03L-0 Report No.

Facility:

Crystal River Unit 13 Report Date:

28 March 1979 Occurrence Date:

3 March 1979 Identification of Occurrence:

Reactor coolant system chemistry not maintained within the limits of Technical Specification 3.4.7.

Conditions Prior to Occurrence:

Mode 5 (cold shutdown operation)

Descriptica of Occurrence:

At 2245, during reactor coolant sampling at cold shutdown, it was discovered that the reactor coolant system chl^ ride concentration was.17 ppa.

This exceeded the Technical Specification limit o f.15 ppe.

Reactor coolant system purification reduced the chloride concentration to.12 ppa on 9 March 1979.

Designation of Apparent Cause:

Chloride as well as suspended solids often appear during cooldc<wn when boron concentration is increased and crud is released from surfaces of the RCS.

Analysis of Occurrence:

No effect upon public health and safety as the chloride concen-tration was within the cleanup capability of the reactor coolant purification system.

Corrective Action

Reactor coolant system purification reduced chloride concentration to within Technical Specification limit at 0500 on 9 March 1979.

No further corrective necessary.

Failure Data:

This is the first occurrence of this type reported.
