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 !! 0.

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

Inc. Environnental Construction Component Failure Operator x

Other (Specify)

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

ANALYSIS OF This event is considered to have no safety significance.

Ilad 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 !! 0.

2 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.
