TOLEDO EDISON COMPANY I5 AVIS-BESSE NUCLEAR POWER STATION UNIT ONE SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION FOR LER NP-33-80-115 DATE OF EVENT: December 5, 1980 FACILITY: Davis-Besse Unit 1 IDENTIFICATION OF OCCURRENCE: Safety Features Actuation System (SFAS) Bistables

,l Out of the Technical Specification Allowable Value Conditions Prior to Occurrence: The unit was in Mode 3 with Power (MRT) = 0 and Load (Gross MUE) = 0.

, Description of Occurrence: On December 5, 1980 at 1730 hours0.02 days <br />0.481 hours <br />0.00286 weeks <br />6.58265e-4 months <br /> during the performance of the SFAS Monthly Test, ST 5031.01 on SFAS Channel 3, the setpoint for the Borated Water Storage Tank (BUST) low level bistable (BA 312) was found to be out of toler-The bistable as found value was 0.552 V and the allowable value is less than ance.

or equal to 0.551 V.

On December 6, 1980 at 0750 hours0.00868 days <br />0.208 hours <br />0.00124 weeks <br />2.85375e-4 months <br />, ST 5031.01 was performed on SFAS Channel 3 to verify operability after troubleshooting to find the cause of the 120 VAC potential between power supply common and ground (see Licensee Event Report NP-33-80-113).

Thel i

containment pressure 38.4 psia bistable (BA 309) was found out of tolerance.

The bistable as found value was 1.428 V and the allowable value is less than or equal to 1.427 V.

See attached tables for additional information.

Both occurrences placed the unit in Action Statement 9 of Technical Specification 3.3.2.1.

The action statement requires the inoperable channel to be placed in the tripped condition within one hour. Both bistables were immediately recalibrated per tbe test procedure (ST 5031.01), removing the station from the action statement.

Designation of Apparent Cause of Occurrence: The cause of these-occurrences can be y

attributed to a component failure. The bistables are subject to instrument drift.

The instrument drift was probably aggravated by the 120 VAC problem on the cabinet Common.

I Analysis of Occurrence: There was no danger to the health and safety of the public or to station personnel. The remaining three SEAS Channels were operable and capable of performing their designed function.

Corrective Action

Upor finding the BWST level bistable BA 312 and'the containment pressure bistable BA 309 out of calibration they were immediately recalibrated as per the test (ST 5030.01) procedure to within the Technical Specification limits.

To be sure that an AC voltage on common does not exist for an extended period of time 3

the voltage between common'and. ground will be checked on a monthly basis per i-ST 5031.01, SFAS Monthly Test.
