Re: Indian Point Unit No. 2 Facility Operating License DPR-26 A.O. 3-2-16 50-247 Mr. John F. O' Leary Directorate of Licensing Office of Regulation U. S. Atortic Energy Commission Washingtol, D. C. 20545

Dear Mr. r' Leary:

The following report is provided pursuant to the requirements of Section 6.12.2 (a) of the Technical Specifications of Facility Operating License DPR-26.

On November 18, 1973, following an analysis of the results of periodic tests and calibration checks relating to pressurizer pressure it was found that the setting for one of the three bi-stables associated with low pressurizer pressure safety injec-tion was below that required by Item 3 in Table 3-1 of the Tech-nical Specifications. At the time of these periodic tests and calibration checks, the reactor was in the cold shutdown con-dition for maintenance work.

The bistable that had an erroneous setting is part of a two-out-of-three logic system which provides for a safety injection sig-nal on coincident low pressurizer pressure and low pressurizer level. The other two bistables were operating correctly.. The channel associated with this device was recalibrated and retested satisfactorily.

Safety implications of this occurrence are considered to be slight since the remaining two channels of the two-of-three actuation log-ic were properly set and would have functioned if required. In-vestigations into the reason for the low setting have not as yet yielded a definite cause and are-being continued.

Very truly yours, 1
