TOLEDO EDISON COMPANY DAVIS-BESSE NUCLEAR POWER STATION UNIT ONE SUPPLE! ENTAL INFORMATION FOR LER NP-33-79-26 DATE OF EVENT: February 5, 1979 FACILITY:

Davis-Besse Unit 1 IDENTIFICATION OF OCCURRENCE:

Safety Features Actuation System (SFAS) Channel 2, containment high pressure trip Conditions Prior to Occurrence: The unit was in Mode 1, with Power (MWT) = 2406.2, and Load (Gross MWE) = 785.

Description of Occurrence: At 18:07:52 hours on February 5,1979, Containment High Pressure Alarms P311 and P899 were received and Safety Features Actuation System (SFAS) Channel 2 tripped from an erroneous containment high pressure signal

( > l8.4 psia). The duration of the high pressure signal was less than one second.

During this time, the unit was placed in Action Statement 9 of Technical Specifica-tion 3.3.2.1.

Technical Specification 3.3.2.1 requires all four containment high pressure SFAS channels to be operable in Modes 1, 2, and 3.

Action Statement 9 allows operation to proceed provided the inoperable channel is placed in the tripped condition within one hour and the remaining three containment high pressure instrument strings are operable.

Designation of Apparent Cause of Occurrence: No specific cause has been found for the momentary spike in containment pressure. Under Maintenance Work Order I&C-167-79 the instrument string was inspected but the cause of the spike was not discovered.

Analysis of Occurrence: There was no danger to the health and safety of the public or to unit personnel. The bistable tripped immediately and the three remaining SFAS containment high pressure instrument strings were operable.

Corrective Action

At 2010 hours0.0233 days <br />0.558 hours <br />0.00332 weeks <br />7.64805e-4 months <br /> on February 5,1979, Surveillance Test ST 5031.01,

" SEAS Monthly Test" on SEAS Channel 2 was successfully completed to verify operabi-lity. Surveillance Test ST 5031.03, " Containment Pressure Inputs to SFAS Refueling Calibration" was performed on February 15, 1979 for further investigation but no deficiencies were discovered. Since the trip was of such a short duration and there have been no previous SFAS channel containment high pressure trips, no correc-tive action other than continuing to monitor this problem can be taken. Should this problem become repetitive, further investigation will be carried out.

Failure Data: There has been no previous reported occurrence of an SFAS channel containment high pressure trip.
