'Ihis.evant is Monsidered to be an Nnormal occurrence'as defined in the Technical specifications, paragraph 1.15D. Notification

'of.this event, as required ify the Technical Specifications, i

paragraph 6.6.2.a, was nado to AEC Region I, Directorate of Rcgvlatory Operations, by telephone on $sturday, September 20, 19"3, at 1:35 p. a,f.: and.by' telecopier.on I4ond:.y,. October.1, 1975, at 12:Ob'p, n.

7 SITW. TION: h'ntle perforcing a routino surycillance test on the Reactor liigh Pressure - 1 solation 'Condensor initiation switches, con-i' tacts on r af uy 6K12 failed to open within the preset time delay of 15' seconds after tripping the pressure switch and deenergizing j

the relay, l

CAUSEt Unknown. The relay has since been removed fro:n the circuit and

~

bench tested and appears to function properly.

FIMi? DIAL ACTION:

Relay 6812 was replaced with one from Spares. A satisfacton surveill.mce test was conducted and the Isolation condena.er System then considered to be operable.

_P'.qTf SIGIT F.T_C_AN_C_E:

5 As det' ailed in Amendment '67 to the FPSAP., at least one of the '

Isolation Condenr,ers is required to set as a means"for heat renoval during a postulated Loss of Coolant, Accident. Actust' ion of relay W.12 can be by means or' High Reactor Pressure or I,ow-I,w nenctor Water Level.

It' is wired into the lod e circuit--

such that tripping of the relay 'provides one-half of.the initia-i tion logic for both condesprs,.the other one-half being its redundant counterpart on the sae instrucent penetration. A second redundant ins,tntment penetratie, also includes two pres-sure switches, contuits from whicli also will initiato both iso-l 1ation condonscrs. _The $ignificance of this event then is the loss of redundancy provided td inittste one-half 0f the signal for pIncing the T8clation Condenser System in service.'
