Facility Operating License No. DPR-65 Docket No. 50-336 Reportable Occurrence 50-336/79-12/1P

Dear Mr. Grier:

This letter forwards Licensee Event Report 79-12/lP, required to be submitted pursuant to the requirements of Millstone Unit 2 Appendix A Technical Specifications, Section 6.9.1.8.b.

While at 10% thermal power during the initial power ascension following a shutdown for refueling, two of the four linear power range channels were noted to be inoperable. The power ascension was halted and channel D was placed in the " bypass" condition, channel A was placed in the " tripped" condition and an investigation into the causes of the malfunctions was conducted.

Open connections were found between the channel A and D detector cables and the field wiring due to the pins being backed out at the connectors. The connections were repaired and the channels returned to service.

Any further actions as a result of subsequent investigation will be addressed'in the two week report.

Yours truly,

~
