November 25, 1974 Facility:

Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station R.D.1. Delta. Pennsylvania 17314 Identification of Occurrence:

HPCI isolation following automatic initiation.

Conditions Prior to Occurrence:

Unit 3 reactor isolated and scrassmed as part of a startup test program.

DOccription of Occurrence:

During the review of data taken during the 100% reactor isolation test performed on 11/19/74, it was noted that the HPCI had received an initiation signal during the transient.

The HPCI then icnediately isolated. The HPCI was then reset and operated D30ignation of Apparent Cause or;o the reactor and prove operability.

nanually to inject water int Occurrence:

A review of the test data and interviews with the operators present during the transient has not provided an absolute cause.

Analysis of Occurrence:

During this transient, the reactor water level momentarily dropped to the initiation level for EPCI and RCIC.

Reactor water level was immediately recovered by way of the r: actor feedpump.

HPCI operation was not required during this trancient.

All other engineered safeguard systems operated as expected.

This occurrence has minimal safety implications.

Corrcetive Action:

In an attempt to further investigata and determine the exact cause of this occurrence o EPCI quick start with a condensate storage tank to condensate storage tank flow path is scheduled for 11/26/74.

A vessel injection test will be repeated prior to completion of a 100% testing program to further ensure EPCI operability.

Foilure Data:

None.
