Mad: son kvenLe at PurCrecM Pead Morns:Cwn New Jersey 07360 201 539-6111 OYSTER CREEK NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION Forked River, New Jersey 08731 Licensee Event Report Recortable Occurrence No. 50-219/80-18/3L Recort Date June 5, 1980 Occurrence Date May 7, 1980 identification of Occurrence Reactor High Pressure Sensor RE030 trip setting was discovered to be greater than 1060 PSI.

This event is cons:dered to be a reportable occurrence as defined in the Techni-cal Specifications, paragraph 6.9.2.b.1.

Conditions Prior to Occurrence The plant was shutdown for a refueling / maintenance outage.

The reactor cavity was flocded.

The reactor was subcritical.

The reactor mode switch was locked in the SHUTDCWN position.

Descriotion of Occurrence On Wednesday, May 7, 1980, at approximately 0117 hours0.00135 days <br />0.0325 hours <br />1.934524e-4 weeks <br />4.45185e-5 months <br />, while performing mc.'thly surveillance testing of the reactor high pressure scram sensors, RE030 was f ound to be less conservative than that specified in the Technical Specifications.

Tests on all reactor high pressure switches revealed the following data:

Pressure Switch Desired Desionation Set Point As Found As Left System 1 RE03A 1068 1066 1066 RE03C 1066 1066 1066 System 2 RE038 1068 1068 1068 RE030 1066 1075 1066 Jersey Ce-trai Power & Lg-t Ccmea y s a vem:er cf " e Gereal muche '.;tir es System

Repor' table Occurrence No. 50-219/80-18/3L Page 2 June 5, 1980 Aooarent Cauce of Occurrence The cause of switch RE030 tripping at 1075 PSIG is attributed to sensor repeat-ability.

Analysis of Occurrence RE03D pressure switch would have actuated but at a pressure 9 PSIG greater than it's prescribed value of 1066 PSIG. The only safety significance of this event was the loss of redundancy in the pressure switch actuation at the prescribed set point.

j

Corrective Action

Reactor high pressure sensor RE030 was reset to trip within the prescribed limits.
