OYSTER CREEK NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION FORKED RIVER, NEN JERSEY 08731 Abnortal Occurrence Report No. 50-219/74/ 60 IDENTIFICATION Violation of the Technical Specifications, Tabic 3 . 1 . 1 .11. 2 ,

OF OCCURRE.NCE:

isolation condenser condensate high flow line. break sensor 1B11A2 was found to actuate at a value in excess of the Tech-nical Specification limit of 27 inches !! 20.

This event is considered to be an abnormal occurrence as de-fined in the Technical Specifications, paragraph 1.15B.

CONDITIONS PRIOR x Steady State Power Routine Shutdown TO OCCURRENCE: llot Standby Operation Cold Shutdown Load Changes During Refueling Shutdown Routine Power Operation Routine Startup Other (Specify)

Operation .

Power: Reactor,1903 ?Mt Electric, 665 MWe Flow: Recirc., 15.3 X 104 gpm Feed., 7.13 X 106 lb/hr Reactor Pressure: 1020 psig Stack Gas: 22,100 pCi/sce DESCRIPTION OF On Friday, Novedber 22, 1974, at approximately 1045, while CCCURRENCE:

perforning routine surveillance testing on the isolation condenser condensate high flow line break sensors, it was ob-served that sensor IB11A2 (located on the A isolation condenser) actuated at a value in excess of the Technical Specification limit of 27 inches !! 20. Tne complete condensate line break sensor surveillance results 5:ere as follows:

APPARENT CAUSE Design Procedure OF OCCURRENCE: Manufacturer Unusual Service Condition Installation / Inc. Environnental Construction Component Failure Operator x Other (Specify)

The cause of this occurrence is sensor repeatability which is a recognized problem.

This event is considered to have no safety significance. Ilad ANALYSIS OF OCCU'IRENCE :

a condensate line high flow condition occurred requiring isolation of the A isolation condenser, the redundant sensor, IB11A1, would have actuated at the Technical Specification limit of 27 inches !! 20.

CORRECTIVE Setpoint accuracy and tolerante in not only these instruments ACTION:

but others as well is under investigation by Company and GPU personnel with the General Electric Company.
