e' PLANNED CORRECTIVE C ION AT CR-3 Imedia t?

Thorough testing of NNI system to determine cause of failure Modify PORV so that NNI failure closes valve Modify pressuriz" spray valve so that valve doesn't open on NNI failure Provide positive indication of all three relief or safety valves Establish procedural control of NNI Selector switches Train all operators in response to NN! failures Move 120v ICS "X" power to vital bus Initiate more extensive program for events recorder system Provide operator with redundant indication of main plant parameters At Next Refueling ('eotenber 1980)

S Install indication lights on all panels to know if power on panel Quick access to: fuses is being designed into cabinets Modify EFW pump circuit to start pumps on any low steam generator level signal Long Term Investigate upgrade of NN! capabilities - total loss of NNI Remote shutdown is being designed Provide backup AC sources to inverters with automatic transfer.
