Duke Power Company Oconee Nuclear Station Report Number: R0-270/83-08 Report Date: June 30, 1983 Occurrence Date: May 31, 1983 Facility: Oconee Unit 2, Senees, South Carolina Identification of Occurrence: The "2A" MDEFDW Pump was made inoperable when power was removed to repair a switch.
Conditions ?rior to Occurrence: 100% FP Description of Occurrence: On May 31,1983 at 1553, the "2 A" Motor Driven Emergency Feedwater Pump (MDEFDWP) became inoperable when power was removed from its circuitry. Power was removed to facilitate repair of the "2B" Main Feedwater Pump Discharge. Pressure Switch 2PS-388.
While perfarming the moathly safety relat.ed functior.al test of the KDEFDWT initiation pressure switches, pressure switch 2PS-398 failed. This switch la part of the auto-initiation circuitry for the "2A" MDEEDWP. When this switch is inoperable, it would prevent the "2A" MDEFLWP from automatically starting on lov discharge pressure indication for both main feedwater pumps. To repair the switch, the breaker for the control circuitry for the su3 ject pump was removed. Thirc made the "2A" MDEFDiP im patable. and constituted operation in a degraded node per Technical Sp?cification 3.4.2(a).
Apparent Cause of Occurrence: The roct cause of this occurrence is a component failure. Because the switch failed, the "2A" MDEFDWP had to be made inoperable to repair the switch. and to restore the portion of automatic initiation capability that was lost back to the pump system. A small hole was found in the bellows of the switch which allowed water from the pressure line to get into the circuitry compartment causing it to fail when tested. During the previous monthly test, all of the "2A" MDEFDWP system met the required criteria.
Analysis of Occurrence: At the time "2A" MDEFDWP was inoperable, the main feedwater system was operable for decay heat removal and cooldown above 250*F.
Also available to meet the same requirements were the "2B" MDEFDW pump, the turbine driven emergency feedwater pump and emergency feedwater from the other two units. The removal of "2A" MDEFDWP was a planned action by Operations personnel. Appropriate plans for actions to be taken, if an event took place while "2A" MDEFDWP was inoperable, were made. Therefore, the health and safety of the public were not endangered.
Corrective Action: Pressure switch 2PS-388 was replaced with a new one. The new switch was calibrated and a functional test was made of the "2A" MDEFDWP auto-initiation circuitry. The "2A" MDEFDWP was declared operable at 0955 on June 1, 1983.
