i NAY 2 1975 Memo to File i

Thru D. L. Caphton, Senior Reactor Inspector-Reactor Operations Branch I

l OfSTER CREEK CONTROL ROD DRIVE InffERFERENCE WITR OFERATING SOURCE j

J. T. Carroll, Station Superintendent, santacted as at about 11:00 a.m.,

May 1,1975, to discuss a problem regarding a brohta operating 4

soures at.ieore location 16-41. While-making control rod drive interference checks, it was disclosed that the referenced source holder had broken off.and pieces were located in the guide tube.

Ac -Carroll described it, ens large pinee was hanging at an angle that precluded removal. Control rod blade'14-43 and the four fuel bundles in the 4tffected call were removed to facilitate access to I

the source. Subsequent attempts at retrieving indicated that fuel bundles located on the corners of the empty cell were preventing d

removal.

The remainder of the conversation involved Oyster Creek's intent l'

to request a temporary Technical Specification change to permit grapple useage for withdrawal of three additional fuel bundles.

Grapple ussage is precluded with a control rod withdrawn. This l

matter was discussed with OIEtHQ (Dreher and Seyfrit) and I then informed Walt Paulson, the RL Project Manager, of the problem.

\\

I was subsequently informed that the cource was successfully removed after repeated attempts and that no action would be requested from licensing.

I intend to review this area during the next routine inspection.
