Duke Power Company McGuire Nuclear Station Special Report Emergency Core Cooling System Actt.ation and Safety Injection On August 16, 1987, while Operations personnel were preparing to put the Unit 1 Turbine Generator on line af ter a short outage, a malfunction of the Main' Turbine controls caused a rapidly decreasing Main Steam line pressure which triggered a Safety Injection / Reactor Trip at 0105. An Unusual Event was declared by the Shift Supervisor.

Operations personnel determined that the Safety Injection could be terminated at 0113, (reference Licensee Event Report 369/87-17).

Reactor Coolant (NC) system conditions prior to the event were 559'F at 2250 psig.

NC system pressure stayed above 2190 psig throughout the event.

The injection fluid temperature was 86*F and the duration of the injection was 8 minutes.

This event was the fif th injection for the 1 1/2 inch cold leg Safety Injec-tion nozzles, and the accumulated nozzle usage factor has not exceeded 0.70.

At 1615 on the same day, the Unusual Event was terminated, but the unit remained shutdown for repairs.

All repairs had been completed and the unit was back on line at 1620 on August 21, 1987.
