Region II - Suite 3100 23tf321/50-36 O 101 Marietta Street, NW I&E Bulletin 80-24 Atlanta, Georgia 30303 ATTENTION:

Mr. James P.

O'Reilly Gentlemen:

The following information is submitted as a supplement to our previous response to I&E Bulletin 80-24, item 3:

On December 18, 1979, a' water spill occurred in the Unit 1 drywell.

Unit 1

was in cold shutdown dus to a

generator ground.

Personnel were given a maintenance request to repair a feedwater check valve, B21-F0108.

Instead, the personnel began work on B21-F010A.

They did not physically check the isolation valves to. insure that the valves were closed.

Therefore, when the_ hinge pin was pulled on B21-F010A, a spill occurred in the drywell (approximately 13,000 gallons).

No one was injured or contaminated as a result of this event.

It should be noted that the feedwater system in the drywell is neither an open system nor a

cooling water system as specified by I&E Bulletin 80-24.

It should also be noted that the spill occurred while the unit was in cold 9hutdown for maintenance activities and was not due to a system oeficiency.

If you have any questions or desire further information, contact this office.

Very truly yours, Nk W W.
