SUBJECT Dyron Unit 2, ECCS Actuation Report

i. .

Dear Mr. Davist -

L This letter is submitted to document the circumstances of a recent Emergency Core. Cooling System (ECCS) actuation at Byron Station Unit 2. r On January 10, 1990,'Dyron Unit 2 experienced an unanticipated ECCS actuation during testing' activities. The actuation was initiated by a 2 of L 3 channel I coincidence of low steam line pressure due to one channel in test and a second {

channel spiking low. At no time did conditions in the plant exist.which would t require mitigation by the ECCS. At the time of the event, the unit was in  !

Mode 1, Power Operation, at 99% reactor power. The attached report, LER [

90-001,' describes the circumstances of the ECCS actuation in detail.

  • l To dat.e, Byron Unit 2 has experienced four (4) unplenned injections by the ECCS. ..In this occurrence, it is estimated that 3150 gallons of borated water ,

were injected into the. Reactor Coolant System through the cold leg injection  :

flowpath of the Charging / Safety injection Pumps. Given a design parameter of '

110 actuation cycles for life-of-plant, Dyron Unit 2 is well below the  ;

y report.able nozzle usage factor of 0.70. .;

This report is submitted in accordance with Technical Specifications 6.9.2 and j 3.5.2. ,
