On December 14, 1989 at approximately 0315 hours0.00365 days <br />0.0875 hours <br />5.208333e-4 weeks <br />1.198575e-4 months <br />, Unit one was operating in the RUN uode at 35 percent of rated core thermal power. The main turbine unexpectedly tripped following the isolation of Reactor Water Level Switch (LITS) 1-263-59A.
The cause of the trip was a result of the B channel LITS having been previously replaced with a switch that operated the reverse of what was required. Thus, when the A channel LITS was isolated, the turbine trip logic was completed. The alarm that should have been annunciated due to the condition of B LITS, was found to have been inactivated as a result of its signal leads being inadvertently left determinated during a modification installation.
Corrective actions included replacing the B LITS switch, reterminating the alarm leads, checking the other unit, testing, and a procedure revision. Further corrective actions are in process. r 2

EVENT IDENTIFICATION: U1 Trubine Trip due to High Reactor Water Level Signal Caused by undetected Tripped Level Switch.
A, CONDITIONS PRIOR TO EVENT:
Unit: One Event Date: December 14, 1989 Event Time: 0315 Reactor Mode: 4 Mode Name: RUN Power Level: 35%
L This report was initiated by Deviation Report 0-4-1-89-121 l
l .RUN Mode (4) - In this position the reactor system pressure is at or above 825 l psig, and the reactor protection system is energized, with APRM protection and RBM
, interlocks in 4ervice (excluding the 15% high flux scram).
l l On December 12, 1989, at 2120 hours0.0245 days <br />0.589 hours <br />0.00351 weeks <br />8.0666e-4 months <br />, a Radiation Protection Technician (RPT) cbserved water dripping from the Unit One Level Switch (LITS) [LTS]'l-263-59A.
This switch provides one-half of the Turbine [TRB)[TA) Trip and Reactor Feed Pump (RFP) [P) [SJ) High Reactor Water Level trip logic [JC). Hourly monitoring of the-leak was initiated while the work package was prepared for accomp~lishing the repair.

On December'13, 1989,'at 2320 hours0.0269 days <br />0.644 hours <br />0.00384 weeks <br />8.8276e-4 months <br />, a load reduction wts initiated at approximately 150 MWe/hr to within the bypass valve capability to prevent a reactor scram [JC) in the event of a turbine trip during the repair. The load reduction was to 280 MWe.
The reactor feed pumps high water level trip was taken out of service on December 14, 1989, at 0245 hours0.00284 days <br />0.0681 hours <br />4.050926e-4 weeks <br />9.32225e-5 months <br /> to prevent an inadvertent trip during the repair.
B. DESCRIPTION OF EVENT:
The' turbine tripped at 0316 hours0.00366 days <br />0.0878 hours <br />5.224868e-4 weeks <br />1.20238e-4 months <br />, on December 14, 1989, following the isolation of the high side of the level switch and opening of the equalizing valve [V) by Instrument Maintenance (IM) personnel.
The trip was unexpected since only one-half of the logic was thought to be made up by this maintenance activity.
The Reactor Operators entered station procedure QOA 5600-4, Loss of Turbine L Generator. They also referenced 00A 3500-1, Loss of Feedwater Heaters, since the l, feedwater heaters (HX) had tripped as a natural result of th? turbine trip, and l -noted that this procedure required a reactor scram if the feedwater temperature decreased by more than 140 degrees Fahrenheit (*F). As the temperature decrease approached 140 'F, the Shift Engineer (SE) made the decision not to scram the reactor based on the knowledge that this requirement was intended for a loss of feedwater heaters from a high power level. The Production Superintendent and the Lead Nuclear Engineer were consulted and concurrence was received not to scram.
The concern with this condition is the potential for violation of the Minimum
( Critical Power Ratio (MCPR) safety limit. Since reactor power had been reduced to 280 MWe prior to the transient, MCPR was not a concern.

At 0430 hours0.00498 days <br />0.119 hours <br />7.109788e-4 weeks <br />1.63615e-4 months <br />, the Production Superintendent notified Corporate CECO of the event.
A mutual decision was made not to shutdown the unit. The decision was made to conduct a corporate review of this event.
A conference call between the corporate office and the station conducted later in the day raised questions with respect to the design casts, since the feedwater temperature decrease of 145'F to 150*F had exceeded the 145'F assumed in the reload analysis. It was decided to shutdown the unit and make an Emergency Notification System (ENS) phone notification since it could not be conclusively determined that the unit was within the design basis. General Electric was contacted and indicated that the event was bounded by the design analysis. The shutdown was terminated based on General Electric's evaluation and the ENS notification was rescinded.
The station's initial investigation of the cause of the turbine trip determined I that work request 078956, performed during the previous refueling outage, had incorrectly open rather,thanreplaced normal switch closed #4contacts.
of LITS 1-263-59B with in This resulted a switch that being the switch had normally in the tripped condition with the reactor water level normal. When LITS 1-263-59A was isolated for maintenance, this completed the turbine trip logic.
The station also investigated the cause for the RFP/ Turbine Trip High Level alarm
[ ALM] not being up. This alarm should have warned the operator that one-half of the turbine trip logic was activated. Actuation of either the LITS 1-263-59A or B cill activate the alarm. The investigation determined that the leads [JX) to this annunciator (ANN) had been inadvertently left determinated during installation of the Detailed Control Room Design Review (DCRDR) modification for Panel (PL] 901-8 during the previous refueling outage.
A restart plan was formulated and an on-site review conducted to authorize restart of the unit. These actions corrected the identified equipment problems, performed tests to ensure other similar problems did not exist, and revised QOA 3500-1, to include additional guidance for the operators. The General Electric evaluation of the loss of feedwater heaters analysis was included as part of the on site review.
Corporate CECO and NRC concurrence for restart was received. The Unit was resynchronized to the grid at 0619 hours0.00716 days <br />0.172 hours <br />0.00102 weeks <br />2.355295e-4 months <br /> on December 15, 1989.
This event was considered to be a Potentially Significant Event (PSE) and a
- preliminary PSE report 89-11, was issued on December 18, 1989.
, C. APPARENT CAUSE OF EVENT:
This Licensee Event Report (LER) is being submittru as a voluntary report. This report also serves as the final review for the PSE.
The main cause of this event is attributed to an improper switch being installed in I
LITS 598. The source of this problem was traced back to a modification installed l on May 4, 1972. This modification changed switch #4 of LITS 1-263-59A and B from normally open to normally closed. The vendor manual was not revised to reflect this modification and this information was not included in the maintenance
{ history. There was not a requirement to update vendor manuals and the requirements for maintenance history were considerably different in 1972.

The incorrect switch was installed by work request Q76428 on November 11, 1989.
The vendor manual was utilized to determine the correct part number for the .
switch. Although the vendor manual was controlled under the VETIP program, this !
error in the manual was not detected as part of the review process.
Several barriers were available to prevent installation of the incorrect switch.
The IM who installed the incorrect switch noted that the part number was different from the part number of the switch removed and notified his supervisor. The supervisor utilized the vendor manual to verify the correct part number, and I therefore did not identify the problem. The Post Maintenance test (PMT) was inadequate to verify operability of the trip circuit. The EHC line-up is a separate test, not required by Technical Specifications, to determine turbine trip operability prior to start-up following a refuel outage. The sequence in which the Electro-hydraulic Control (EHC) [TC) Lineup Test was performed did not allow I detection of the oroblem. A Parts Technical Evaluation also failed to identify the l problem since the part was considered like-for-like and a suitability of !
application was not required. The Parts Technical Evaluation utilized a print for a switch which the vendor manual showed as requiring the same part number and not the actual print for the switch in question. A verification of relay status for the B channel prior to inserting a trip in the A channel would have prevented the turbine trip, but it was not performed and not required by procedure.
Contributing to this event was the inoperable RFP/ Turbine Trip High Level annunciator. The leads for the RFP/ Turbine Trip high level Annunciator, F-11 on panel 901-6 were lifted on October 17, 1989 in accordance with work package 076430 for modification M-4-1-87-518. This package is one of eight work packages that implement the wiring changes for DCRDR.
These leads were lifted in the above work package for panel 901-8 as a result of I the process utilized by the contractor work analyst to construct the work package. l The work package was constructed to accomplish all wiring changes in panel 901-8 i necessary to place the panel in the final as built configuration called for by the i design. When the design called for termination of new wires on terminals that were already utilized, the practice was to determinate existing leads with the knowledge that they would be reterminated at a later point in the modification package. This design approach failed to consider that the modification would not be entirely completed during the refuel outage. The work analyst identified the potential of inoperable annunciators on panels not to be completed during the refuel outage and communicated his concerns to Engineering and Construction Services (ENC)-Construction via a memo. He was verbally instructed by ENC-Construction to l delete.the determination of these and other similar cables from his work package.
In accomplishing this task, he neglected to delete the determination of the two leads in question from his work package.
As a result of the above error, a detailed review of the M-4-1-87-051B work packages was initiated to determine if other problems existed due to the above l
approach. This review identified five additional annunciator operability concerns. Three of these concerns had been corrected as a result of additional '
t* portions of the modification being completed. The fourth concern was corrected via a work request on December 18, 1989. The fifth was corrected during post-modification testing.

During the review of this event, it was determined that the portion of the modification that renumbers all of the terminal points had been completed, Thus, the as although,' rewiring had not been completed for all of the panels.
built drawings for these panels did not reflect the as labeled terminal numbers.
Several barriers were available to prevent this error. The initial review of the work package by the contractor, ENC-Construction, and the. station should have been sufficiently detailed to detect this problem, The Operational Analysis Department (OAD) test should have detected this error, but it did not, due to the use of schematic diagrams for development of the scope of the test. The schematic diagrams provided no indication that the leads in question had been disturbed, this information was available in the work package. The modification test and operability test were performed in conjunction with the OAD test,'and therefore also did not identify the error. The user's walkdown performed by the station was a general inspection for material condition and housekeeping and did not include a 100 percent wiring verification. The station utilized the 100 percentThis wiring verification performed by the installer to satisfy this requirement.
verification utilized the work package and not the design drawings, therefore, could not have detected the error since the work package specified that the leads were to be determinated.
D. SAFETY ANALYSIS OF EVENTj, To mitigate an Abnormal Operating Occurrence (A00) involving a a postulated reactor coolant level increase. a set of two switches located at the high water level (HWL) setpoint, +48 inches, are designed to provide signals which trip the feedwater pumps and initiate a turbine trip upon indication of a HWL condition. The failure of one switch during a postulated A00 such as feedwater Controller Failure -
Maximum Demand (FWCF) could lead to a situation in which the reactor water level would continue to increase past the high water level setpoint with no trip of
-either the feedwater pumps or the turbine stop valves.
A transient safety evaluation was performed and demonstrated that in the event of a postulated reactor coolant increa:0 ADO such as the FHCF Maximum Demand event occurring at rated power / flow condition, the failure of the HWL trip function to shut down the feedwater pumps and to initiate a turbine trip and subsequent anticipatory scram signal would not result in any adverse impact Theto the plant's safety evaluation operating MCPR' limits or the fuel thermal-mechanical limits.
has demonstrated that such an event remains bounded by the limiting reload licensing basis event. Therefore, the safety consequences of this event were minimal.
For further safety analysis information, reference G.E. Nuclear Energy Letter EB0-90-079, dated February 13, 1990, to Dr. D. F. Naughton. This information was reviewed and accepted by Nuclear Fuel Services and the Station.
