SUBJECT:

LICENSE DPR-19, DRESDEN NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNIT #2, SECTION 6.6.B.3 0F THE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS.

Dear Mr. Giambusso:

This is to report a condition relating to the operation of the unit in which, on September 19, 1972, the setpoints of two of the reactor low pressure permis::ive switches (for opening core spray and low pressure coolant injection admission valves) drif ted beyond the values established in Table 3.2.2 of the Technical Specifications.

PROBLEM AND INVESTIGATQ ,

l On September 19, 1972, during routine calibration of the reactor low pressure permissive switches (required every three months by Technical l Specifications), two of the switches setpoints were found to have drif ted l above the Technical Specifications value of 350 psig.

l l The subject switches, PS-2-263-52A1 and FIS-2-263-52B2, were found set at 357 psig and 352 psig respectively. PS-2-263-51A1 is a Heletron switch, model number 372-6SS-49A-292 with a range of 28-1400 psig and an accuracy of + 17.. PIS-2-263-52B2 is an ITT Barton Switch, serial number 288-5560, with a range of 0-500 psig and an accuracy of + 0.2%.

l CORRECTIVE ACTION At the time of calibration, PS-2-263-52A1, and PIS-2-263-52B2 were l reset to 345 psig and 346 psig reactor pressure respectively.

Mr. A. Giambusos Srptember 29, 1972 J

These switches do not have a history of drifting. They have pre-viously been set as close to 350 psig as practical. Since these switches have a 50 psig permissive trip setting span (Table 3.2.2 of the Technical Specifications) they will be set to the center of this span to prevent future recurrences.

Sincerely, bb b Nsb W. P. Worden Superintendent Dresden Nuclear Power Ststion WFW:do f
