1. PLANT SPECIFIC DATA BASED ON INITIAL REVIEW OF 50.72 REPORTS FOR THE WEEK OF INTEREST. PERIOD IS MIDNIGHT SUNDAY THROUGH MIDNIGHT SUNDAY SCRAM' A.E DEFINED AS REACTOR PROTECTIVE ACTUATIONS WHICH RESULT IN R0D MOTION, AND EXCLUDE PLANNED TESTS OR SCRAMS AS PA T OF PLANNED SHUTDOWN IN ACCORDANCE WITH A PLANT PROCEDURE.
2. REC 0VERY COMPLICATED BY EQUIPMENT FAILURES OR PERSONNEL ERRORS UNRELATED TO CAUSE OF SCRAM.
3. 1986 INFORMATION DERIVED FROM ORAS STUDY OF UNPLANNED REACTOR TRIPS IN 1986. WEEKLY DATA DETERMINED BY TAKING TOTAL TRIPS IN A GIVEN CATEGORY AND DIVIDING BY 52 WEEKS / YEAR.
4. IN 1986, THERE WERE AN ESTIMATED TOTAL OF 461 AUTOMATIC AND MANUAL UNPLANNED REACTOR TRIPS AT 104 REACTORS (HOLDING OPERATING LICENSES). THIS YIELDS AN AVERAGE RATE OF 4.4 TRIPS PER REACTOR PER YEAR AND AN AVERAGE RATE OF 8.8 TRIPS PER WEEK .

FOR ALL REACTORS. '

5. BASED ON 107 REACTORS HOLDING AN OPERATING LICENSE.

6.

PERSONNEL RELATED PROBLEMS INCLUDE HUMAN ERROR, PROCEDURAL DEFICIENCIES, AND MANUAL STEAM GENERATOR LEVEL CONTROL PROBLEMS.

7. "0THER" INCLUDES AUTOMATIC SGIAMS ATTRIBUTED TO ENVIRONMENTAL CAUSES (LIGHTNING), SYSTEM DESIGN, OR UNKNOWN CAUSE.
8. 1985 INFORMATION DERIVED FROM AN ORAS STUDY OF UNPLANNED REACTOR TRIPS IN 1985. WEEKLY DATA DETERMINED BY TAKING TOTAL TRIPS IN A GIVEN CATEGORY AND DIVIDING BY 52 WEEKS / YEAR.
9. IN 1985, THERE WERE AN ESTIMATED TOTAL OF 541 AUTOMATIC AND MANUAL
  • UNPLANNED REACTOR TRIPS AT 93 REACTORS (HOLDING FULL POWER LICENSES). THIS YIELDS AN AVERACE RATE OF 5.8 TRIPS PER REACTOR YEAR AND AN AVERAGE RATE OF 10.4 TRIPS PER WEEK FOR ALL REACTORS.
