Our investigation revealed that the deficiency pertaining '

to the 1152 Pressure Transmitter is reportable within the meaning of 10CFR50.55(e). Our Final Report of this =atter is attached. I l

We are continuing our investigation of this deficiency to deter-cine reportability under 10CFR21. _

FINAL REPORT TO PRD-80/11 (Model 510 DU Trip Unit)

I. Description of Deficiency The Rosemount Model 510 DU' Trip / Calibration Unit has a common mode failure of an essential switch that determines the trip output logic. The dalfunction: reverses the logic, thereby .

providing an . erroneous signal. , The trip unit is used in con-junction with the pressure transmitter to provide high or low-trip signals.

II. Safety Implications Due to the inherent safety functions of these devices, failure would adversely affect the safety of operation of Grand Gulf Nucleat Station, Units 1 and 2. As an example, when the Model 510 DU is used as a water level trip unit, the deficiency can result in indicating high reactor water level when actually the' water level is low.

III. Corrective Action Taken General Electric has issued Field Disposition Instructions (FDI's) to return Model 510 DU Trip Units to manufacturer for repair.

Details of the corrective act. ion are delineated in the following FDI's:

Unit 1 Unit 2 Trip Units FDI-WAMD FDI-WBIX l
