EVENT DESCRIPTION

On 11/17/82 with the unit in Startup Mode, the "B Emergency Makeup Control Room Ventilation Fan failed to start during the performance of LOS-VC-M1.

Technical Specification 3.7.2 prevents the unit from going to the run condition.

V.

PROBABLE CONSEQUENCES OF THE OCCURRENCE:

The "A" Emergency Makeup Control Room Ventilation Fan was started per T.S. 3.7.2 in the pressurization mode, in conjunction with the normal VC HVAC system. The health and safety of plant personnel was main-tained at all times.

VI.

CAUSE

The outlet damper of the "B" train failed to open.

Investigation found that the damper shaf t was bent and the bearing housing cap was broken.

This damage was apparently caused by a misalignment on the linkage when it was initially installed.

4

VII. CORRECTIVE ACTION

i j

Work Request L19787 was written and the damper was removed to complete j

the repairs. Temporary duct work was installed and the damper position i

limit switches were jumpered to allow the train to run if needed.

LOS-VC-M1 was performed satisfactorily to prove the operability of the "B" Emergency Makeup Ventilation System after the damper was reinstalled.

This is believed to be an isolated incident.
