t On November 19,1986 2 EMF-48 (Reactor Coolant Rsdiation Monitor) tripped on a high

, radiation signal. A work request was written to investigate and repair the i monitor. The cause of the monitor's inoperability was a contaminated sample tube.

On November 26, 1986 the sample tube was replaced, the EMF was recalibrated and declared operable.

t The monitor was inoperable for seven days, three hours, twenty-five minutes.

i Alternate methods of monitoring Reactor Coolant radiation were initiated within the required 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />.
