IDENTIFICATION QE OCCURRENCE North Plant Vent (NPV) Radiation Monitor Inoperable for More Than 72 Hours Event Date:
02/07/87 Event Time:
1640 DESCRIPTION Of OCCURRENCE On February 4, 1987 at 0920, the NPV Low Range Noble Gas Detector was declared inoperable after I&C Department discovered, during performance of a
calibration surveillance, that the detector aluminum foil window was damaged.
The cause of the damage could not be determined.
The mid/high range detectors automatically start as the low range detector reaches its upper limit.
- Thus, with the low range detector inoperable, the entire skid becomes inoperable because the automatic "upscaling" feature of the detector skid is disabled.
As a result of this determination the entire NPV Radiation Monitoring Skid was declared inopetable at 1630.
The monitoring skid was returned to operability on 2/17/87.
ANALYSIS QE OCCURRENCE Technical Specification 3.3.7.5, Action 81 specifies that:
ACTION 81 -
With the number of OPERABLE accident nonitoring instrumentation channels less than required by the Minimum Channels OPERABLE requirement, either restore the inoperable channel (s) to OPERABLE status within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />, or:
a.
Initiate the preplanned alternate method of monitoring the appropriate parameter (s), and b.
Prepare and submit a
Special Report to the Commission pursuant to Specification 6.9.2 within 14 days following the event outlining the action
- taken, the cause of the inoperability and the plans and schedule for restoring the system to OPERABLE status.

On 2/6/87, it was determined that the NPV radiation monitoring skid would not be returned to an operable status within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />.
As a result, the preplanned alternate method of monitoring' noble gas activity was initiated.
This method consisted of:
1.
Taking 12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> grab samples for analysis of low range activity.
2.
Direction to manually initiate the mid and high range detectors if indicated by the results of the 12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> grab samples.
The NPV radiation monitoring skid was returned to operability on 2/17/87.

CORRECTIVE ACTION A
work order was written to replace the aluminum foil window on the low range detector.
The window was replaced and the monitor returned operability on 2/17/87.
