Dear Mr. Martin:
The specific activity of the primary system exceeded the administrative limits specified in Rancho Seco Administrative Procedure RSAP-0222 and as committed to in our response to Generic Letter 85-02.
The Sacramento Municipal Utility District hereby submits Special Report No. 89-13 in accordance with Rancho Seco administrative controls.
Members of your staff with questions requiring additional information or clarification may contact Mr. Jim Clark at (209) 333-2935, extension 4378.

SPECIAL REPORT NUMBER 89-13 Failure to Maintain Specific Activity of the L
Primary System Nithin Administrative Limits i:
Date of Occurrence March 28-29, 1989
' Plant' Conditions at Time of Occurrence
.The plant was at hot shutdown following a' trip on high pressure at 1515.
hours on-March 28.
Identification of Occurrence The specific activity of the primary system exceeded administrative limits as specified in Rancho Seco Administrative Procedure RSAP-0222, Rancho Seco Chemistry Control Commitment. The procedure requires the submission of a Special Report if the specific activity of.the primary coolant. is either greater than 0.8 pCi/ml I-131 or ~43/E pCi/ml.
Description of Occurrence For the period from approximately 1635 hours0.0189 days <br />0.454 hours <br />0.0027 weeks <br />6.221175e-4 months <br /> on March 28 to 0825 hours0.00955 days <br />0.229 hours <br />0.00136 weeks <br />3.139125e-4 months <br /> on March 29, while in a hot shutdown condition,' Reactor Coolant System sample data indicated thal specific activity was above -
0.8 pCi/ml I-131;'the 43/E limit was not exceeded.
It is normal for iodine activity to increase for a short period of time after a power reduction. The District had committed to the 0.8 pCi/mi 1-131 limit via letter dated June.11, 1985, in response to Generic Letter 85-02.
Corrective Action Taken In accordance with RSAP-0222, on detection of the unusual condition, isotopic analysis continued until restoration of specific activity to within limits..The analysis performed on March 29 at 0825 hours0.00955 days <br />0.229 hours <br />0.00136 weeks <br />3.139125e-4 months <br /> indicated that specific activity was below 0.8 pCi/ml I-131.
Per RSAP-0222 the following information is attached:
Primary coolant specific activity and time duration when the activity exceeded 0.8 pCi/ml I-131 (Attachment 1).
Reactor power history starting 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> prior to the first sample in which the limit was exceeded (Attachment 1).
Cleanup flow history stuting 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> prior to the first sample in which the limit was exceeded (Attachment 2).
