L On Decorber 19, 1973, at 1330, during conduct of the monthly sfp M in Steam Line Isolation Valve functional test. as referenced in

- T D 7 y.4,

. Technical Specifications, Table 4.1.1, valve V2-86C was exercised YNDM*,#

and cycled to the closed position.

This was verified when the valve " closed" limit switch caused Reactor Protection System relay

-5A-K3C to deenergize.

When the valve returned to the open position, it was noted that relay SA-K3C f ailed to energize as it should have with an open valve condition.

Operating peraonnel, attempting to det.cruine the cause, discovered the limit switch actuating arm to be in a position indicating valve cicsure. The actuating arn was tanually reset and the. nasociated relay was imediately energized.

This action

, restored the Reactor Protection Systets logic to its nort:.sl operating condition.

Valec V2-860 was cycled again and all valve littit switches were verified to be functioning properly. The reactor was opctating at gproxk.arely oCI power at the time of this incident, 83t2070532 731226 Very truly yours, PDR ADOCK 05000271 S
