A violation of the Environmental Technical Specification ~ 2.1.b(2) occurred in that during the Routine Peactor Plant Cooldewn on 03/19/77, the river water differential te perature was chanced by rore than 20 in any cne hour.

0 The river water 6 was beino raintained at 0 F t;o to the tire the Decay Feat Penoval Syster. was olated inservice at 2100 hours0.0243 days <br />0.583 hours <br />0.00347 weeks <br />7.9905e-4 months <br />. As the Decay Fest Femval System was placed in service the river water discharge tero-erature began to increase causing an increase in the river water 6.

Since the Pechanical Craft Cooling Tower was operating at its full available '

capacity, i rediate steos were taken to reduce the Cecay Feat Fenoval beat load which in turn decreased the river water IT rate of chance. The 0

river water 6 rate of change reached a rtaxirm of 3.5 F/hr. which exceeded the specification.

The incident will be revie%ed and the results of the evaluation and any corrective action taken will be reported in the 14 day recort.

Very truly yours, G G 64{
