SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION Report No..

50-302/80-007/03L-0 Facility:

Crystal River Unit #3 Report Date:

20 February 1980 Occurrence Date:

30 January 1980 Identification of Occurrence:

g contrary to Technical Specification 3.6.1.5.

Conditions Prior to Occurrence:

Mode 1 power operation (100%)

Description of Occurrence:

At 1610 while performing Daily Plant Operating Surveillance SP-300, it was discovered that the average Reactor Building te=perature was 130.5 F.

Reactor Building cooling was shifted to the S.W.

system and the temperature was reduced to 125 F at approximately 1620. Rea'ctor Building cooling was returned to normal and the industrial cooling fans were placed in manual. Maintenance actions were initiated.

Designation of Apparent Cause:

The cause'of this event is attributed to temperature trans-mitter CI-563-TT.

Investigation revealed transmitter was stuck due to being operated outside its design temperature range and subsequently failed to satisfactorily start an industrial cooling fan on rising Reactor Building temperature.

CI-563-TT is improperly located in the process flow path which resulted in an overrange condition.

CI-563-TT was adjusted and returned to service on 1/31/80 and >Uut 79-11-76 was initiated to properly relocate the transmitter during the next refueling outage.

Analysis of Occurrence:

No effect on the p1sst or general public.

Corrective Action

CI-563-TT was adjusted and returned to service on 1/11/80 and MAR 79-11-76 was initiated to relocate the transmitter during the refueling outage. Modification 79-10-79 has been initiated to provide an average Reactor Building temperature alarm function to alert the Control Operator prior to exceeding the 130 F limit. This modification will be completed during the upcoming refueling outage.

Failure Data:

This is the second occurrence of this type reported.
