Technical Specification 3.0.4 requires that entry into an. operational mode shall not be made unless the conditions of the Limiting Condition for 1 Operation are met.

Technical Specification 3.6.2.2 requires that the spray additive system shall be operable in modes 3 and 4 with a spray additive eductor capable of adding sodium hydroxide (Na0H) to a containment spray system pump flow. With the spray additive system inoperable, restore the system to operable status within the next 120 hours0.00139 days <br />0.0333 hours <br />1.984127e-4 weeks <br />4.566e-5 months <br /> or else be in Cold Shutdown [ Mode 5] in the next 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />.

For the spray additive system to be operable, valves ICS018A and ICS018B must be open so that NaOH can flow from the storage tank to each of the spray additive eductors when the containment spray system is actuated.

Contrary to the above:

1. On May 6 and May 23, 1987, Unit 1 entered Mode 4 with valves ICS018A and ICS0188 shut; thereby rendering the spray additive system incapable of i adding Na0H to the containment spray system pump flow.

, 2. From 0900 on May 6, 1987 to 1412 on May 15, 1987, with Unit 1 in Modes 3 i i

and 4, valves ICS018A and ICS018B were shut for greater than 120 hours0.00139 days <br />0.0333 hours <br />1.984127e-4 weeks <br />4.566e-5 months <br />; l thereby rendering the spray additive system incapable of adding Na0H to the containment spray system pump flow, and action was not taken to place the unit in Mode 5 within the next 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />.
