PHILADELPHIA ELECTRIC COMPANY 2301 M ARKET STREET P.O. BOX 8699 PHILADELF ilA, PA.19101 (215)841-4000 October 25, 1982 I Re: Docket Nos. 50-277 50-278 Mr. R. C. Haynes, Administrator U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region I 631 Park Avenue King of Prussia, PA 19406

SUBJECT:

Unique Reporting Requirements Seismic Monitoring Instrumentation Inoperable for More Than 30 Days

REFERENCE:

Technical Specification 3.15.B and 6.9.3

Dear Mr. Haynes:

In accordance with the subject Technical Specification reporting requirements, this is to advise you that the response spectrum analyzer component of the seismic monitoring system has been intermittently inoperable since September 9, 1982.

Apparent Cause:

Tests performed on the response spectrum analyzer by a vendor representative indicate the power control card is not functioning properly. As a result the device will not consistently perform an analysis of seismic events.

Mr. R. C. Haynes Page 2 Corrective Action:

A replacement power control card is expected from the manufacturer within a month. Installation and return to service is expected by November 30, 1982. The remaining components of the seismic system are operable. Should a siesmic event occur, the unit would record the event on magnetic tape, the alarms would work, and the readout on the strip chart would be available. The tape could be sent to the vendor for a readout of their spectrum analyzer, if required.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call.

Very truly yours,

, G(bsC I
