3.3.3.10 6.9.1.13.b Reported Under Technical Specification:

Date of Occurrence: 2-24-81 Time of Occurrence: 1250 CST Identification and Description of Occurrence:

The oxygen analyzer used to monitor for an explosive gas mixture in the waste holdup tank was declared inoperable when water damaged the oxygen Grab samples were taken as required by action statement 43 of cell.

LCO 3.3.3.10 but analysis of the samples was delayed for approximately 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> because both gas chromatographs used for the analysis were inoperable.

Conditions Prior to occurrence:

~

Unit 1 in Mods 5 Apparent Cause of Occurrence:

Condensed moisture collected in the analyzer and damaged the oxygen cell.

1

[

[

Analysis of Occurrence _:

Analysis of the gas sample was delayed until a loan unit could be obtaine,d from the Power Operations Training Center. Subsequent analysis verified that the sampled gas was within technical specification limits.

Corrective Action

A design modification will be implemented prior to fuel loading of Unit 2 to install additional low-point vents to eliminate the collection of excessite water in the lines connected to the analyzer.
