Reference:

(1) LACBWR Technical Specifications Section 4.2.2.22, Action g.

Dear Mr. Keppler:

In accordance with the provisions of Reference (1), a Special Report is submitted covering results of sampling and analysis actions together with additional operational information for three separate occasions when reactor thermal power changed by more than 15% of Rated Thermal Power within one hour while in Operational Condition 1 and 2.

The separate occasions are discussed in sections 1 and 2 as follows:

SECTION 1 March 7, 1986 SECTION 2-----May 25, 1986 SECTION 3-----May 25, 1986 Each section provides a summary of operating data and radiological data for the time period prior to the thermal power change along with the results of the additional sampling required.

If there are any questions concerning this report, please contact us.

Sincerely, 8606160109 860604 ^

INTRODUCTION SPECIAL REPORT 86-02 LACBWR Technical Specifications, Section 4.2.2.22, Action g, requires sampling and analysis for Iodine-131, -133, and -135, as well as gross beta and gamma activity between 2 and 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> following a thermal power change of greater t-han 15% of rated thermal power within one hour. This special report is required to contain the information determined by the analysis plus additional information regarding reactor power history, fuel burnup, cleanup flow history, offgas activity levels and gross alpha activity levels.

SECTION 1 At 2150 on March 7, 1986, the reactor scrammed from 72% due to a loss of the 1B 2400 volt bus while transferring the station load to the reserve transformer. The reactor was in the process of being shutdown for refueling outage.
