1. During Unit 2 refueling outage, control rod drive (CRD H-5 overtraveled indicating uncoupling when withdrawn to posit'on'48 i during functional '

testing. CRD H-5 was recoupled and coupling verified in accordance with )

the requirements of T.S.3.3.B.I. CRD uncoupling had minimal safety sig- i '

nificance since it occurred only when the rod was withdrawn to position

48. This was the first uncoupling of CRD H-5.

( Five other CRD's had .

previously uncoupled since the 1975 Unit 2 refueling outage (reportable occurrences: 50-237/1977-14, 15, 22 & 29; 50-237/1976-68, 72).

On November 9, 1977 CRD H-5 was disassembled and inspected per Control Rod Drive Inspection and Maintenance Procedure DMP 209. To assure a -

comprehensive inspection a special operating procedure (SOP 216) was -

prepared and followed.

Upon inspection it was found that the inner filter was unlatched. In addition the distance between the CRD flange and the end of the fully seated uncoupling rod was abnormally long (173.406 + 0.562") . The abnormal length coupled with an unlatched inner filter resulted in the uncoupling of the CRD.

As part of the revised reassembly procedure, C.E.Co. Quality Control

^

personnel performed the inner filter installation and the reduced 20-30 pound pull test.

(- In Feb., 1978 the Control Rod Drive Inspection and Maintenance procedure DMP 209 was further changed to permit Maintenance l

Personnel to install the inner filter. This change occurred due to previously existing Management-Union work agreements. However, Quality Control Personnel will verify proper installation of the inner filter-and continue to conduct the 20-30 pound pull test. The. revised prohedure coupled with improved Quality Control coverage of CRD overhaul and reassem-bly are believed to be adequate to prevent future similar events.  ;
