hjentification_ and Description of Occurrence:
During SI 4.2.B.8, reactor high pressure switches were found at:ove T.S. limits.
At 0920 PS 68-93 switch #2 was found at 124 psi; at 1115,PS 68-94 switch #2 was found at 131 psi. Test limit is 123 psi, which is the limit of 115 psi plus 8 psi water leg.
Conditions Prior to Occurrence:
Unit I refueling outage.
C Unit 2 maintenance outage Unit 3 at 100%
Action specified in the Technical Specificatii;n SurveiUance Requirements met
@tdo inopgrable equipnyent. Describe.
None Apparent Cause of Occurrence:
Setpoint drift
@@ sis of Occurrence:
There was no danger to the health or safety of the public, no release of activity, no damage to the plant or equipment, and no resulting significant chain of events.
Corrective Action
s'etpoints'were reset to the proper value, and the surveillance instruction completed satisfactorily. Additionally, a design change request (DCR 1398) has been initiated to replace these switches with an analog transmitter with a trip switch.
