OPERATIONAL SUFD!ARY DECEMBER, 1979 The unit- shutdown which' was initiated on November 30, 1979 to investigate the motor lower bearing oil level alarm on Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) 1-2; to fix.

Group 7 Rod 5 and Group 5 Rod 11 APIS was still in. progress throughout the month of December. The following is a list of-the major work items performed during the outage: .

1. The RCP 1-2 motor lower bearings oil leak was thoroughly investigated. 'j' No. concrete reason for the low IcVel was found.- It was possibly due to filling the motor.when it was running which caused a syphon effect.

2. Group 7 Rod 5 and Group 5 Rod'11 APIS were fixed.

3. Shortly after the shutdown, RTD RC3A3 failed, and it was though~t that there was a primary leak through the RTD. It was later determined that the leakage was through the furmanited gasket and into the thermocouple extension piece. The furmanite box had come into contact with a Reactor l Coolant System (RCS) piping whip restraint bending the RTD boss and RTD, j cracking the extension piece. This in turn allowed water to leak into

~

the RTD head and short out_the signal. Subsequently, it was found that the two furmanited RTDs on Loop 2 were both damaged by the furmanite boxes contacting whip restraints. On Loop 1 there was a slight dent in ,

the bosses due to the whip restraints contacting the pipe. _ Three of the J bosses were replaced and new well type RTDs were also installed. The 1 repairs to the bosses _ were completed on December 26, 1979.

4. Due to the extended outage several eighteen month' surveillance tests were completed.

g-COMPLETED FACILITY CHANGE REQUESTS i

FCR NO: 79-378 (including Supplements 1 through 4)

SYSTEM: Various Class 1E Systems !

COMPONENT: 125 VDC Control Relays CHANGE, TEST, OR EXPERIMENT: On November 19, 1979, the installation and testing associated with the implementation of FCR 79-378 and its four supplements was com- ?

plcted. As requested by the FCR, arc suppression diodes were installed in various saf ety related and non-saf ety related circuits where the contacts of Couch relays are controlling highly inductive loads (generally the coils of other relays). A total of 26 safety related circuits was involved including 4 control relays in the auxiliary feedwater pump controls, 18 in switchgear controls, and 4 in emergency diesel generator controls. ,

l REASON FOR THE FCR: It was found that failures of Couch relays which occurred in the reactor coolant pump interlock circuitry (see Licensee Event Report NP- 33-7 9-126) had been caused by the high transient voltage which occurs when the Couch relay contacts interrupt the current flow through a highly inductive load.

The high voltage arcs across the contacts of the Couch relays resulting in a short circuit. The diodes added under this FCR preclude this from occurring by shunting out the transient voltages through a path separate of the relay contacts.

SAFETY EVALUATION: This change will not adversely affect the function of the relays. It will improve the reliability of the circuits by providing a path for the discharge of the energy in the coil through the diode, rather than through the contacts of the interrupting relay. This is not an unreviewed safety gyestion. f 90017288 1

COMPLETED FACILITY CHANGE REQUESTS FCR NO: 79-405 SYSTEM: Reactor Protection System (RPS)

COMPONENT: Power Range Nuclear Instrument (NI) 5 CHANGE, TEST, OR EXPERIMENT: On November 15, 1979, the physical work and testing associated with the implementation of FCR 79-405 was completed. This FCR moved cables 2LRPSA01C and 2LRPSA01X, which are the leads for the bottom ion chamber signals of NI-5, from penetration cable GW3 to penetration cable DW3 both located in penetration P2L4EX/P2L4GI.

REASON FOR THE FCR: During the performance of IC 2002.03, NI Detector Post Installa-tion Test, it was found that the inner and outer shields on penetration cable GW3 were shorted together.

SAFETY EXPLANATION: The change outlined was reviewed on Bechtel Drawing E-530 and determined to have no adverse impact on safety. The change of modules within penetration P2L4G will utilize a spare which was provided for this purpose. This is not an unreviewed safety question.

OPERATIONAL

SUMMARY

NOVEMBER, 1979

.The unit shutdown which was initiated on October 25, 1979, when Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) 2-2 tripped from a blown fuse, continued until 1811 hours0.021 days 0.503 hours 0.00299 weeks 6.890855e-4 months on November 20, 1979, when the turbine-generator was synchronized. Below is a list of the major work items performed during the outage:

1. All four RCP seals were replaced.

2. A new expansion joint for 1-4-2 heater extraction was rewelded.

3. A design change to the Couch relays in the RCP starting interlock circuits was made. This initiated a similar change in sixteen safety related cir-cuits.

4. NI-3 was pulled and a new detector was installed. A new section of cable between the containment penetration and the NI-l pre-amp was installed.

5. Several pir restraints were modified as a result of IE Bulletin 79-14 findings.

11/20/79 - 11/21/79 The unit returned on line at 1811 hours0.021 days 0.503 hours 0.00299 weeks 6.890855e-4 months on November 20, 1979, and reactor power was increased to 81% of full power with generator gross load at 760 MWe on November 21, 1979.

11/22/79 Reactor Coolant System (RCS) flow inidcation was determined to be less than required by Technical Specification 3.2.5 at 0300 hours0.00347 days 0.0833 hours 4.960317e-4 weeks 1.1415e-4 months . Reactor power was decreased to 73% at which point RCS flow indication was back within allowable limits. At 0400 hours0.00463 days 0.111 hours 6.613757e-4 weeks 1.522e-4 months generator gross load was 684 MWe.

11/23/79 - 11/25/79 Reactor power was maintained at approximately 73% until 0620 hours0.00718 days 0.172 hours 0.00103 weeks 2.3591e-4 months on November 25, 1979, when RCS flow indication was again determined to be less than that required by Technical Specifi-cations. Reactor power was decreased to 67% at which point the RCS flow indication was again back within tolerance. The cause of the low flow indication is still being investigated.

11/26/79 Reactor power was maintained at approximately 69% of full power. At 2145 hours0.0248 days 0.596 hours 0.00355 weeks 8.161725e-4 months on November 26, 1979, RCP 1-2 was manu-ally tripped due to a lower motor bearing low oil level alarm.

11/27/79 - 11/28/79 The unit remained at approximately 68% of full power with generator gross load of 635 MWe until 0645 hours0.00747 days 0.179 hours 0.00107 weeks 2.454225e-4 months on November 28, 1979, when it was determined that the power range nuclear instrumentation (NIs) were reading slightly greater than 2%

below the calculated heat balance. Reactor power was reduced to 507- to bring the NIs in tolerance and to run another heat balance to get the NIs in tolerance.
