Mr. A. Giambusso 50-277-75-44 June 23, 1975 Page 2 Designation of Apparent Cause of Occurrence:

Fuse fatigue.

. Analysis of Occurrence:

There are no safety implications because the level switch alarmed properly and the operator was able to manually perform the function of the vent solenoid valve.

Corrective Action:

The operator manually vented the accumulator to ensure that the head spray line was filled.

Investigation revealed an open fuse to the solenoid valve. The fuse was replaced and the switch was cycled to open the solenoid valve successfully several times.

Failure Data Similar failures reported as A0-50-277-75-4, 50-278-75-20, and 50-277-75-34.
