e 27, 1975 cessive Reactor Coolant Cooldown Rate at Oconee 3 sequence was:

a power reduction, an operator initiated a secondary side transient, which a primary side pressure/temperature transient and opened the pilot d pressurizer relief valve.

ief valve failed to close (due to boric acid crystal buildup) and did icate open in the control room.

trip and high pressure injection occurred.

rator closed the PORV block valve, re-opened it because of increasing izer level, and finally closets it when RC pressure reached 800 psig, ting the transient.

ief valve quench tank rupture disk blew out, damagi~ig some pressurizer tion action; res revised to prevent the initiation of a secondary side transient.

t 1 and unit 2 PORVs.were to, be examined for boric acid crystal buildup.

V will be test cycled prior to each startup.

ng personnel were advised that closure of the block valve was the cor-action for this occurrence.

ose of failed system or component:
