l SummaryJor Veekly Infermation' Report i

Week Ending August 29, 1980 Surry' Unit No. 2 i-Surry Unit.No. 2 tripped for the second time en August 26 at 10:05 pm with an accom-panying safety injection. The trip was apparently caused by the opening of the by-pass-valve.around the condensate polishing demineralizers.

On the last trip,-the train B safety injection. system'did not actuate because of the short duration of the-AP signal. 'l&E and the licensees are evaluating the cause of these transients.

Surry 2 was critical again at 7:42 am on August 27.

[

TMI Reactor Building Entry An attampt was made'on Thursday, August 21, to cpen the outer door of the personnel airlock No.1 on the reactor building equipment hatch.

The licensee found that the i

" differa tial pressure interlock solenoid on the outer door was activated and that it appei ed the pin was stuck in the up position similar to the problem noted with-the innc door for personnel airlock No. 2.

This was anticipated.

The next entry ~

via pers]nnel airlock No. 2 is expected in 4-6 weeks. At that time it is anticipated that the pins for both equipment hatch personnel airlock doors will be freed from inside the reactor' building.

4 Certification of Industrial Radiographers I

At a meeting with NRC staff members and members of the Conference of Radiation Pro-C gram Control Directors, agreement was reached that there is a need for a uniform nationwide program for certification of industrial radiographers.

Findings indicate U

that radiography-personnel do not always have the level of training as specified in license applications.

This was the.second such trip ii a week.

The tr.ip was apparently caused. by the cpaing of the typass va've around tha cor.densate polishing decineralizers.

Reactor Building Status Ucekly purging of the reactor building was performed on Friday, August 22, 1980. The purge lasted 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and resulted in approximately 30 curies released to the atmosphere.

An attempt was made on Thursday, August 21, 1980, to open the outer

' door of the personnel airlock No.1 on the reactor building equipment hatch. This airlock was not used since the accident.

In this attempt the licensee 'found that the differential pressure interlock solenoid on the outer door was activated and that it appeared the pin was stuck in the up' position similar to the problem noted with the -inner door for personnel airlock No. 2.

This was anticipated since the second reactor built'ng entry teaa also confirmed that the inner door solenoid was in the up position and rusted in place.

The outer door solenoid was manually de-energized and the pin did not release iteself.

The ~next entry into the reactor building via personnel airlock No. 2 is expected in 4-6. weeks.

At that time it is anticipated that the pins for both equipment hat ~ch personnel airlock doors will be freed from inside the reactor building.

Weekly RCS Boron Analysis On Friday, August 3,1980, the "RC TMI Progran Office was notified by the licensee that the Babcock' and Wilcox laboratory was unable to' analyze the reactor coolant systes (RCS) samples due to contanination from a radiological spill and that the 7 day technical specification j
