MONTHLY 0 PIRATING REIORT - FEBRUARY 1986 At the beginning of the report period, Oyster Creek was operating at approximately 650 FMe.

On February 2, Standby Gas Treatment System (SGTS) I was declared inoperable after routine testing identified a failed inlet tempera ture transmitter which prevented system heaters from energizing.

B11owing repairs, the system was retested and i

declared operable on February 4.

& February 4, the reactor Cleanup System was rmoved from service to facilitate sealant injection retnirs to valves V-16-22C and V-16-233.

Power was reduced to 602 FWe prior to returning the Cleanup System to service to minimize the effects of a flux increase due to cold water addition.

The Cleanup System was returned to service later that day and power was subsequently increased to approximately 650 hMe.

Permanent repairs are planned for the next refueling outage.

On February 4, Core Spray System II was removed from service to repair two minor piping leaks.

As a target of opportunity, associated booster pump breaker undervoltage devices were inspected.

Following completion of repairs and inspections, the system was retested and declared operable on February 5.

On February 6, Trunnion Room temperature increased due to failure of recirculation fan RF 1-6.

RF 1-7 was placed in service and temperatures returned to normal.

l Inspection of RF 1-6 revealed a defective drive belt.

Power was decreased to approximtely 495 hMe to reduce radiation exposure during belt replacment. RF 1-6 was returned to service and RF 1-7 secured.

RF 1-7 is only used as backup, due to

{

its degraded condition, and is scheduled for repair during the next refueling cuta ge. Plant load was returned to 650 hMe cn February 7.

m February 11, all power rods were essentially withdrawn and end of fuel cycle

'toastdown" began.

On February 20, during a rcutine surveillance test, reactor low level sensors RID 5A1 and RE05B1 setpoints were found to be out of specification.

The sensors were subsequently adjusted and the test completed satisfactorily.

He evmt required a one (1) hour notification to the NIC.

On February 21, a high conductivity alarm for "A"

North condenser annunciated accompanied by increasing conductivity indication.

"A" North section of the condenser was rmoved from service following a load reduction to approximately 475 hMe.

A leaking tthe (1) was identified on February 22 and plugged.

The condenser was returned to service and load increased to 560 AMe later that day. Maximum plant load was achieved on February 23.

Power stabilized at 612 MWe on February 25 after establishing Xenon equilibrium.

On February 27, reactor low level sensor RID 5A1 failed surveillance testing and was determined to be inoperable. This action required entering a technical specification "IID" action sta tement and necessary notifications were made.

He sensor was stbsequently replaced, calibrated, tested satisfactorily and returned to operable status the same day.

Plant load at the md of the report period was 602 MWe.

Monthly Opzrating Repsrt The following Licensee Event Reports were submitted during the month of February 1986:

i Licensee Event Report 50-219/85-026 - On December 18, 1985 a recirculation 4

pump tripped and its discharge valve could not be immediately closed.

Reverse i

flow occurred in the idle loop and was electronically added to the flow in the i

other four recirculation loops.

This resulted in the flow biased Average Power Range Monitor ( APRM) setpoints for the scram and rod block functions to be less conservative than those allowed by Technical Specifications.

Licensee Event Report 50-219/86-001 - On January 17, 1986, three out of four reactor low level scram sensors were found out of specification during 4

the monthly surveillance.

Upon discovery, the setpoints were immediately adjusted within acceptable ranges.

On January 20, two of the sensors were i

retested and both were found in specification, but one failed to reset when valved back into service.

The switch was determined to have failed and was replaced.

During the additional testing of the failed sensor, its monthly i

out-of-service limit of 60 minutes was exceeded, and a shutdown was comenced. The shutdown was terminated at 0055 hours6.365741e-4 days <br />0.0153 hours <br />9.093915e-5 weeks <br />2.09275e-5 months <br /> on January 21 when a new sensor was placed in service. The cause of the occurrence has been attributed to instrument drift, and the cause of the sensor failure is being investigated at the vendor's facilities.

Licensee Event Report 50-219/86-002 - On January 24, 1986 at 1430 hours0.0166 days <br />0.397 hours <br />0.00236 weeks <br />5.44115e-4 months <br />, a l

Safety Related Hydraulic Snubber (NQ-2-S7) was disconnected from the i

Containment Spray piping rendering this snubber inoperable.

This action placed the plant in the Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO).

The snubber j

was disconnected during execution of a Short Form generated to exchange the i

front paddle on the snubber.

The snubber was then reconnected to the pipe, making it operable.

The removed paddle was used to repair a feedwater snubber.

The cause of the event is attributed to personnel error when the Group Shift Supervisor (GSS) approved a maintenance short form which approved maintenance reordering a safety related snubber inoperable.
