GEORGIA POWER COMPANY ET AL FACILITY NAME : EDWIN I. HATCH Unit 1 DOCKET NUMBER : 50-321 On July 23, 1986, at approximately 1000 CDT with Unit 1 in steady state operation at 2430 megawatts thermal (100 percent of rated thermal power) and Unit 2 in steady state operation at 1425 megawatts thermal (60 percent of rated thermal power), the Main Stack Post-Accident Effluent Monitor (1D11-P007) was declared inoperable. The monitor was declared inoperable due to an improper detector response observed during the performance of surveillance procedure 62CI-0PS-005-0S, " Main Stack and Reactor Building Units Effluent Accident Range Gas Monitor Model Kaman KMG HRH."

The pre-planned alternate method of monitoring noble gas concentrations was initiated within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> as required by Unit 1 Technical Specifications Table 3.2-11, Note g and Unit 2 Technical Specifications Table 3.3.6.4-1, Note b.

The improper detector response was due to a failed high-range noble gas detector in the Kaman Model KMG-HRH monitor. A new high-range noble gas detector has been ordered from Kaman Systems and will be installed upon receipt. The Main Stack Post-Accident Effluent Monitor is expected to be returned to operable status by September 1,1986.

The pre-planned alternate method of monitoring will be continued until the monitor is restored.
