to1211 On December 27 an increase in reactor coolant leakace was noted. At 2_131 l A 1 RPS channel A tripped on press / temp. It was determined that a pressure g I o 1. i I switch had blown. Reactor shutdown was initiated but was terminated when ( ,

ioIsi! switch was valved out. On December 29 it was noted that Channel 1 WR  ;

io is I oressure was reading high so the channel was tripped. At 1545 recalibration i tairlI was comolete so channel was returned to service. At no time was' the ability ;
