SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMAT' ION 1.

Report.No.

50-302/77-72 2.

Facility:.

Crystal River Unit #3

3.. Report Date:

22 July 1977 4.

Occurrence Date: 30 June 1977 -

5.

Identification of Occu-ence:

Failure to. calibrate a tm '" f regen gas chromotograph with specified gas mixture as prescribed by Techni

. ification Surveillance Requirement 4.6.4.1.

6.

Condition Prior to Oct Mode 1 power operation.

7.

Description of Occurrence:

i '

During a review of the surveillance procedure for calibration of hydrogen gas

~

analyzer SP-730, it was discovered that the gas chromotograph, channel 112, had been calibrated using the wrong calibration gas mixture.

100% hydrogen had been used instead of mixtures containing one volume percent hydrogen, balance nitrogen.

and four volume percent hydrogen, balance nitrogen as specified by Technical

~

Specifications. The chromotograph was re-calibrated using the correct gas mixtures j

and restored operable.

8.

Designation of Apparent Cause:

I The Chem / Rad technician failed to follow the surveillance procedure which prescribed-the correct calibration gas mixtures as prescribed by Technical Specifications.

9.

Analysis of Occurrence:

The safety and health of the plant and public were not affected,. as a redunda".t H2 analyzer was available and operable.

)

10.

Corrective Action.

j Chem / Rad follow-up report F.U.R.77-175 has been posted and reviewed by Chen/Ra4 technicians to insure compliance with the surveillance procedure.

l 11.

Failure Data:

1 This was the first occurrence of this event.
